Chapter 733: Chapter 732: Young Master Qian Suggests Jiang Linyan Become an Entertainment Reporter and Angrily Confronts Her
“Previously, when Kunshan Group was initiating a project bidding, I happened to be interested, so I made a bid and unexpectedly succeeded. In the future, I will need my sister’s help to speak a few good words for me among the higher-ups at Kunshan Group. I hope we can cooperate successfully!”
Listening to Mu Chengxu’s official words, Jiang Linyan gave a light smile, “You’re too polite, sister. Actually, you and I could change our relationship.”
“Change our relationship? Other than cooperation, I don’t know what special relationship we could have.”
Mu Chengxu directly interrupted Jiang Linyan. She felt that making some things too clear would be uninteresting, and if the two of them came to a rupture, even a cooperative relationship would be impossible.
Hearing Mu Chengxu’s deliberate interruption, Jiang Linyan also gave a light smile. She felt that indeed she had been too impatient; some things should be spoken only when one has absolute power, otherwise, it would just seem ridiculous.
“I’m sorry, sister, I was too anxious. You’re right, all relationships should be based on successful cooperation. I hope we can cooperate happily.”
Having returned from outside, Jiang Linyan had already learned how to control her temper.
Just like in front of Mu Chengxu, even though she was agitated inside and even grew very impatient because of something Mu Chengxu said, she still calmly controlled her emotions, not letting them show.
She had now learned to endure. She believed that eventually, everything she desired could be held in her own hands, including Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxu, with a serene gaze, looked at the scenery outside the window. The atmosphere in the car became extremely awkward, so awkward that Mu Chengxu wanted to ask to stop the car and get out herself.
In all her years in Beijing, she had never experienced such stifling frustration.
“Sister… Ms. Mu, you’re not angry, are you? I was foolish to bring up cooperation terms with you. Rest assured, sister, I now understand clearly that work should not mix with personal feelings!”
Jiang Linyan cradled Mu Chengxu’s arm and gently swayed it, just like she used to wheedle to Mu Chengxu when she was a child.
In that moment, Mu Chengxu’s demeanor softened. She had a special affection for the younger kids in Beijing over these years. Hearing Jiang Linyan’s apology, she no longer felt the anger she had before.
“Linyan, I know what you are thinking, but there are some things that even I cannot decide. We are good sisters. Let’s interact in our own way. Other than that, even as a sister, I am helpless to change anything.”
Mu Chengxu looked at Jiang Linyan, addressing her in a sisterly manner for the first time, and Jiang Linyan nodded earnestly, a picture of receptive humility.
“Don’t worry, sister, I understand what you’ve said. Just pretend I never mentioned what I did earlier. Between us, we are still good sisters!”
Jiang Linyan adopted a demure posture, acting coquettishly toward Mu Chengxu…
Jiang Linyan’s car stopped outside a Western restaurant, and Mu Chengxu’s assistant’s car also arrived promptly, parking behind Jiang Linyan’s car.
The assistant hurriedly got out of the car, following behind Mu Chengxu, discreetly observing her, worried that something unexpected might happen to her.
“Miss…”
“It’s okay, don’t worry.” The moment Mu Chengxi saw her assistant rushing over, she knew exactly what her assistant was thinking and deliberately lowered her voice to reassure her.
“I never expected to encounter two of Beijing’s young ladies here.”
Just then, a man appeared behind the two of them. It was none other than Qian Meng, and standing next to him was another man, Yuan Junye. No one could have ever imagined these two appearing together.
As soon as Yuan Junye saw Mu Chengxi, he consciously stood by her side before greeting Jiang Linyan.
“Miss Jiang, I didn’t expect to meet you here! I’ve heard recently that Miss has been collaborating with Kunshan Group. You must have quite a few projects in your hands? If there are good opportunities for cooperation, don’t forget to let us make money together!”
Yuan Junye watched the faint elegant smile on Jiang Linyan’s face, her composed and serene demeanor making Mu Chengxi involuntarily take a few more glances at him.
“President Yuan is joking. We are not in the same field, making money together indeed isn’t easy, but Ms. Mu and I can make money together!”
While speaking, Jiang Linyan affectionately linked her arm with Mu Chengxi’s, deliberately displaying their close relationship, intentionally letting others perceive a good connection between Mu Chengxi and Jiang Linyan.
“Since we’ve met here, it must be fate. Why don’t we get together and have lunch?”
Qian Meng, seeing the expression on Jiang Linyan’s face, knew exactly what she was planning. If he didn’t meddle a bit, he wouldn’t live up to his infamous reputation!
Qian Meng’s spontaneous invitation immediately made Jiang Linyan’s expression turn grim, but to everyone’s surprise, Mu Chengxi readily agreed.
“Indeed, meeting here is fate. Having lunch with Young Master Qian is a first for me. With such a good opportunity, I simply cannot miss it.”
Mu Chengxi graciously accepted Qian Meng’s invitation, exchanged a glance with Yuan Junye who was by her side, then lifted her legs and headed towards the restaurant.
In the restaurant, the four of them ordered separately. Except for Yuan Junye, who knew Mu Chengxi’s preferences, the others didn’t know each other well.
After Qian Meng finished ordering, he handed the menu back to the waiter and watched Yuan Junye and Mu Chengxi’s intimate actions, involuntarily raising an eyebrow.
“Is it that Miss and President Yuan are nearing a happy milestone?” Qian Meng could tell from their actions that Yuan Junye and Mu Chengxi had moved past the ambiguous stage and were most likely officially dating.
“Young Master Qian really likes gossip. I also heard recently that Young Master Qian specifically went to Jingda University looking for a college student who was already taken… I wonder if that’s true!”
Jiang Linyan looked at Qian Meng with an innocent gaze, intending to use this leverage to remind Qian Meng not to cause trouble, or she would spill the beans about his visit to Wen Xin.
Qian Meng, seeing Jiang Linyan’s iniquitous demeanor, chuckled lightly, “Indeed, I did visit Wen Xin at Jingda University recently, but our interaction was purely innocent. After all, I’m nothing compared to Mu Chengxi, so Mu Chengxi needn’t worry about Miss Wen falling for someone else, right?”
“Also, does Miss Jiang have an interest in gossip? I heard that the gossip about Wen Xin and Chu Mufeng was released by Miss Jiang. Does Miss Jiang also want to reveal the details of my meeting with Wen Xin? If so, Miss Jiang should stop pretending to do business and just become an entertainment reporter!”
