Xiao Shuyuan had actually noticed it long ago, but he just kept his doubts to himself and didn't say anything. "Sister used to be quite introverted."
Yan Yueyue bared her teeth and patted his shoulder. "Sure enough, my man has a sharper observation ability than ordinary people! How about it? I'm the one who molded Shujing's current personality."
He looked puzzled. "Molded? Why?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? Shujing has feelings for that guy surnamed Su! But her awkward personality has become the biggest obstacle between them. If I don't help her change it, how can she take the initiative?"
Xiao Shuyuan wasn't worried at first, but after hearing what she said, he started to worry. "I somehow feel that this approach is a bit inappropriate."
Yan Yueyue rolled her eyes. "What's inappropriate? Don't worry. Maybe when Shujing comes back tonight, she'll tell me that she and the guy surnamed Su have become the envy of everyone."
In the reception room of Juan Yi Clothing Company.
Bo Jingyu was gripping the armrests of his chair tightly with both hands, the veins on them bulging.
He stared directly at Yan Kun across from him without blinking.
Li Xiaoru was standing beside them, not knowing whether to sit or stand.
The freezing atmosphere made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Why are you the one coming?"
Hearing his bone-chilling tone, Yan Kun remained expressionless on the surface, but his heart was pounding with nervousness. "General Manager Wen said that it's just a preliminary draft today, so there's no need for her to come in person."
"No need? What a big talk!"
Bo Jingyu sneered, his eyes filled with burning anger.
"Does she not take me seriously?"
"You've misunderstood," Yan Kun said apologetically, lowering his eyes. "Actually, General Manager Wen is on a business trip abroad today to select raw materials. After all, clothes are precious items that will appear on the screen. She has to see them with her own eyes to be at ease. Manager Li, isn't that the case?"
Li Xiaoru's face turned various colors in succession.
He was subtly mocking the inferior quality of Juan Yi's materials.
It also implied that "Ahai Rui is doing Juan Yi a favor by cooperating with such a niche company", making it hard for others to defend themselves.
"Representative Yan is right. We will definitely strictly control the quality."
"That's good. I hope this won't be our last cooperation."
Yan Kun smiled gently and amiably.
But in Bo Jingyu's eyes, it was a blatant threat and provocation.
He definitely didn't have the guts on his own. The one who supported and made decisions for him was the huge Ahai Rui industry and its founder behind him.
Shen Ximan!
Knock, knock. The door of the reception room was knocked.
"Come in." Only then did Li Xiaoru's tense nerves relax.
"Sorry, everyone. I'm late because of the traffic jam on the way," Su Minghan said apologetically. He first shook hands with Yan Kun, and then politely with Li Xiaoru. "The person behind me is familiar to everyone. She's the popular actress of our Su's Entertainment, Xiao Shujing."
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."
She was wearing a light green long dress, and her pure and lovely long hair was casually braided into a fishtail braid, fully showing her gentle and beautiful image.
Li Xiaoru was a bit stunned. "Wasn't Teacher Xiao scheduled for tomorrow?"
This question instantly made everyone present freeze.
Su Minghan forced a smile. "Danni has a cover shooting for Ahai Rui today and may be a bit late. Does it really matter who comes first?"
Yan Kun watched them looking at each other blankly without saying a word.
"It's just taking measurements. Why be so picky?"
Bo Jingyu glared at her slightly unhappily and quickly smoothed things over.
"Ah, yes. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
"You take her to take the measurements first. We still need to discuss the future endorsement process with General Manager Yan to ensure there are no conflicts with other things."
His sharp eyes attacked like a small knife.
Yan Kun smiled with pursed lips. "It's my pleasure."
Seeing the confrontation in their eyes, Su Minghan subconsciously got goosebumps. He sat down on his own, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.
It was so bitter that his tongue went numb.
"What a 'good tea'! 'Good tea'!"
This made Li Xiaoru, who was about to reach the door, blush with shame again.
She quickly fled out of the door as if nothing had happened.
"May I ask where General Manager Wen went abroad?"
Bo Jingyu took the lead and asked.
Yan Kun replied indifferently, "Sorry, General Manager Bo. It's inconvenient to disclose."
"When will she come back specifically?"
"Sorry, General Manager Bo. It's inconvenient to disclose."
He gritted his back teeth for a second or two. "Then General Manager Wen should have told you about the follow - up work, right? I don't have that much time to wait for her news. If it weren't for the sake of my fiancée, I wouldn't participate in such a fussy and insincere sponsorship."
Su Minghan sat with his legs crossed, baring his teeth and watching the show.
Such a famous scene was not easy to see.
Yan Kun pretended to understand and nodded, his back covered in cold sweat.
"I can understand your eagerness, but as a member of Ahai Rui, our aim is to bring better and more high - quality services to everyone. Please understand General Manager Wen's good intentions."
Bo Jingyu put his hands crossed on his legs and calmly accepted it.
"Fine. Ask your General Manager Wen to scan my QR code when she gets back."
After saying that, he signaled Ruo Chi with his eyes.
Yan Kun took a phone from him in a daze.
"What is this... for?"
"Anyway, I'm a sponsor with over a billion in assets. Your General Manager Wen is too arrogant. She still refuses to add me as a friend."
Su Minghan almost spat out his tea.
Bo Jingyu raised his head confidently. "You should have her backup account. I'll watch you add me right now."
"… General Manager Bo, I don't think it's necessary. General Manager Wen usually replies using email. Even if you add her backup account, she won't look at it." Yan Kun was so embarrassed that it was difficult for him to even breathe.
"If you don't add me, I'll withdraw the sponsorship."
"…"
Bo Jingyu clearly started to act like a hooligan. "I know your Ahai Rui doesn't care about this little money, but if the media knows that you forced me to withdraw the sponsorship because of such a small thing, it might not sound good for your reputation."
"Okay then. Please try not to send messages after 10 p.m. General Manager Wen won't reply even if she sees them."
Yan Kun was on the verge of tears. There was no better way to solve the problem for the moment, so he had to bite the bullet and agree first. He would go to Shen Ximan in person to apologize after today's matter was over.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Minghan quickly sent a message.
Bo Jingyu took out his phone calmly, glanced at it, and replied with two words.
"Get lost."
"What?"
He looked at him blankly.
Just a few seconds after the friend request was approved, Yan Kun received a message.
Bo Jingyu's simple words sent chills down his spine.
"I know she's Shen Ximan."
His disguise was torn off completely, and the deep sense of frustration and shame made it impossible for him to calm down.
When was General Manager Shen exposed?
Did Bo Jingyu want to blackmail them with this?
