Song Meng could only say, “Director Cui, please don’t joke around. How can 1 not remember you? We haven’t seen each other for a while.”
Cui Cong immediately said, “Since that’s the case, how about 1 treat you to a private meal someday?”
“Sure.” She didn’t refuse.
He happily said, “Miss Song, I like your straightforwardness!”
Song Meng glanced at Jiang Ling’er. She had wanted to ignore her, but the atmosphere was a little awkward now that it was only filled with her interaction with Director Cui.
She asked, “Miss Jiang, the jade pendant you’re wearing is the Chen Group’s new product, right? It’s really beautiful!”
“Isn’t Superstar Song the Chen Group’s spokesperson?” Director Cui asked with a smile before Jiang Ling’er could say anything. “How can you not know if this is a new model?”
“Director Cui, to be honest, I don’t have that position anymore,” Song Meng said with fake self-deprecation.
He asked with a puzzled expression, “Huh? Who is so powerful that they can actually replace you?”
“Director Cui, that person is so far away, but they’re also right in front of us. Who do you think it is?” she sighed.
All of a sudden, Chen Yizhou walked over and said, “Superstar Song, you’re being quite rude. Are you dissatisfied with Chen Group finding another spokesperson?”
Hearing this voice, Song Meng immediately became nervous. Chen Yizhou was not someone she could afford to offend.
She immediately said, “CEO Chen, don’t get me wrong. I’m not that kind of person. I just think that A^iss Jiang looks very classy with these accessories.”
“Well, Miss Jiang’s temperament is indeed perfect,” said Chen Yizhou with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Li Yu and smiled. He handed the milk in his hand to Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er felt a little awkward, but she couldn’t ruin his reputation, so she could only say thank you. She took the milk, clinked glasses, and took a sip.
Li Yu was a little dissatisfied. They had known each other for so long, but he had never seen Chen Yizhou so capable before. He coughed lightly and said, “Ling’er, I want to drink it too,”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. Despite that, she still handed the glass of milk to prevent him from messing around later.
Seeing how obedient she was, he was very satisfied. He took the milk and drank it in one gulp.
When Chen Yizhou saw this, his eyes were filled with disdain. He asked, “Why didn’t I notice that you were so childish before?”
He did not know how far Li Yu and Jiang Ling’er had progressed, but he knew that Li Yu was a jealous person.
Gu Yinian was also a little shocked. This was the first time he had seen Li Yu like this. Perhaps, as long as Jiang Ling’er was around, he would be able to discover many more things from Li Yu.
When she saw this, Song Meng was extremely jealous. She forced a smile and asked, “Didn’t CEO Li say that he’s a germaphobe? Why would you share a glass of milk with Miss Jiang?”
“Does what I do have anything to do with you?” Li Yu asked coldly.
“No,” Song Meng said awkwardly.
He said, “Then shut your mouth,”
“My apologies, CEO Li. I was just curious,” Song Meng replied. Li Yu ignored her afterward.
Director Cui felt pity for her when he saw that she had been defeated again. However, his strength was not enough to deal with Li Yu. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Excuse me for a moment. I’m going to have a chat with my friends over there,”
Then, he looked at Song Meng. “Miss Song, why don’t we go over there and get to know each other?”
She didn’t want to be alone with him, but he was the only one who gave her a way out. If she didn’t leave now, she might get scolded later.
Thus, she bid Li Yu and the others goodbye before leaving with Director Cui.
Chen Yizhou watched the two of them leave. He smiled and said, “Li Yu, you don’t have to be so disrespectful to Song Meng. No matter what, she is a popular celebrity. She has millions of fans, and many of them are rich and powerful.”
Li Yu looked at him and said, “Oh? And what does that have to do with me?”
“With a lot of fans, your ability to earn money is high,” Chen Yizhou continued.
“Since she’s so amazing, why did you terminate her contract with your company?” Li Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Chen Yizhou said seriously, “My intuition told me that Miss Jiang would bring more benefits to our Chen family. Now, the facts have proven that I’m right.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. How much did he earn for him to say something like that?
Li Yu directly asked, “So? How much have you earned now?”
“No comment!” Chen Yizhou replied indifferently.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door. Jiang Ling’er looked over and saw an elegant woman with a proud figure greeting the surrounding people with a smile..
