"I … I'm not sure."
Stumbling out of the ward, Jiang Yansheng held onto the wall of the corridor to steady herself. The members of Ah Mei's band had been staring at her, as if they were trying to glean something from her.
However, she gritted her teeth and couldn't say anything.
Letting out a sigh, Jiang Yansheng's pounding heart finally calmed down.
Suddenly, she was hit on the shoulder by a man who was walking very fast.
"Ouch."
She covered her sore shoulder and took a few steps back from the force of the collision. She took a deep breath.
The man who hit her was very rude. He didn't even apologize and pushed open the door that she had just come out from.
Jiang Yansheng turned around in confusion and could only see the man's broad back.
She paused. When she looked up again, the man had already pushed the door open and went in.
He was here to see Amei.
The back view just now was very familiar. It seemed to be the one who beat up the drunk driver at the scene of the car accident.
She swallowed her saliva silently.
Now wasn't the time to care about others. Amei was already unconscious, and Gu Yan was also busy with the Gu clan. Who else could help her?
Taking out her phone, the glaring white light shone on her face. Jiang Yansheng's fingers paused in the air for a long time before she slowly pressed down.
"Beep."
The call was picked up quickly, and the man's laughter was soft and steady. "I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Jiang Yansheng laughed dryly. "What can I do for you, Mr. Xiao?"
She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the phone, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
"You should have seen the news today, right?" Xiao Chuyun's tone was a little helpless. "I really can't do anything about the little girl you found before. Since there's such a big problem and it involves your company's secrets, it has already risen to the level of character. Cloud Entertainment won't sign such a person. "
Although she had this kind of uneasy guess in her heart, when Xiao Chuyun's voice really made the final decision, Jiang Yansheng still felt a chill down her spine. Her hands that were hanging by her side tightly clenched into fists.
If Ah Mei found out about this, it would be a disaster.
The endorsement didn't succeed, and there was such a big mistake, she would lose the contract with Cloud Entertainment.
She would be very sad after longing for the concert for so long.
"You don't need to ask about the Gu clan like I said to Miss Jiang."
Xiao Chuyun's voice paused for a moment, his low and deep syllables knocking on Jiang Yansheng's heart. "Although Miss Jiang and I spent a lot of effort to sign her, and the contract has already been signed, I'm really sorry now …"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yansheng took a deep breath and tried to make her tone calm. "Most of the news that Amei released today is actually the media's speculation. There's no conclusion on whether Amei leaked the secret or not. I'm sure that there must be someone else behind it. At the same time, I've fought for a buffer time with the Jiang Clan. As long as we can find out who the person behind the scenes is, Amei's name can be cleared."
"Oh?" Xiao Chuyun said with interest. "But no matter what, her reputation is now stained. If we sign her, it will only bring harm to Cloud Entertainment."
A drop of sweat slowly slid down Jiang Yansheng's forehead. She gritted her teeth. "Gu clan … Gu clan's bottom line. Can you give me a little more time …"
Her mind quickly went through the conditions she could use to negotiate with Xiao Chuyun.
Money, power, or something else.
After going through all the options one by one, Jiang Yansheng sadly found that with her current capital, she could not even stand on the same platform as Xiao Chuyun.
She was at a complete disadvantage.
Stretching out his head was a knife, and this knife was still in Xiao Chuyun's hand.
She did not know how many times she had started to hate herself for being so powerless. She could not do what she wanted to do, and everything she could do was useless.
"Plop!" Tears fell on the phone screen. Jiang Yansheng's vision blurred for a moment. She sobered up and quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"Jiang … Miss Jiang … Are you crying?" Xiao Chuyun's voice came from the screen that suddenly lit up.
Jiang Yansheng sniffled, raised the phone to her ear, and smiled brightly. "How could that be? Mr. Xiao has seen me so many times. Have you ever seen me cry? "
"That's good." She did not know whether Xiao Chuyun believed her or not, but his voice was obviously much softer. "But I feel that Miss Jiang seems to be very weak now. I don't know if inviting you out at this time can be considered as taking advantage of the situation?"
Jiang Yansheng wiped her tears and said with a fake smile, "Mr. Xiao wants to cancel my friend's appointment. I can't welcome you with a smile."
Xiao Chuyun was surprised. "Since you are inviting Miss Jiang out, it means that I have already believed your explanation. Otherwise, wouldn't I have hung up on you long ago?"
"Ah, I forgot how precious Mr. Xiao's time is. You are actually willing to waste it on an insignificant person like me." Jiang Yansheng lowered her head. She looked at the clean and flawless tiles in the hospital corridor, which reflected her blurred face. "But I may not have time recently. I have promised to find out who spread the secrets of the Jiang Clan within seven days."
"Seven days?" Xiao Chuyun's voice was indifferent. "Then I will help you find out in four days. Are you willing to accept my invitation in four days?"
Xiao Chuyun's answer made Jiang Yansheng's heart skip a beat. She took the phone down in disbelief and looked at the name of the caller again.
It was Xiao Chuyun, the old fox.
When did he become so kind? Could it be that there was an even bigger and deeper pit waiting for her to jump into?
"I'm not worried about Mr. Xiao, but since I promised it myself, I must go …" Jiang Yansheng declined. She did some calculations. The money she had left should be just enough to hire a detective, but there wouldn't be much left after it was used up.
If Xiao Chuyun could really help, it would be for the best.
"There will be a ball in four days. You may need to dance. Will Miss Jiang dance?" Xiao Chuyun seemed to have not heard Jiang Yansheng's refusal at all and directly threw out his own question.
Jiang Yansheng opened her mouth in a daze. After a long time, she slowly replied, "Dance. Dance a little."
If it was just the left foot not tripping over the right foot, it should be very simple, right?
But it should not be considered a dance, right?
"That's great. It's just an ordinary ballroom dance." Hearing Jiang Yansheng's voice slowly return to normal, Xiao Chuyun smiled. "It's a masked ball. Even if something goes wrong, no one will know who you are."
"By the way, when Miss Jiang is free, you can send me a copy of the relevant information about the Jiang Clan's products. I will send someone to check it out immediately."
Jiang Yansheng scratched her head anxiously. Although she did not know what Xiao Chuyun was thinking, she had to thank Xiao Chuyun. "I'm sorry to trouble you. In fact, you don't need it at all … Xiao Chuyun, thank you very much." “
"Compared to your thanks, I actually want to hear you say that you like it more."
The man's voice was very low, and it seemed to be full of sincerity.
Jiang Yansheng paused. She looked up at the closed door of Amei's ward and changed the topic with a smile. "Why don't I like it? I like all the generous and considerate things that Mr. Xiao does. "
"What do you think? Did you hear that?"
She liked what he did, but not him as a person.
Xiao Chuyun laughed. "Jiang Yansheng, you are really a cunning woman."
She knew what he wanted, but she did not give it to him.
…
It was only one o 'clock in the afternoon when she returned to the Jiang Clan's building.
She felt very tired from rushing back and forth. It felt like a month had passed, but in fact, only a few hours had passed.
Her stomach growled. No one around looked at her, but Jiang Yansheng still covered her stomach with her hand.
She stepped back before she stepped into the company's door.
Jiang Yansheng turned around and went to the dessert shop directly across the street.
"Miss Jiang is very early today." As soon as she entered the shop, the sharp-eyed shop assistant recognized Jiang Yansheng and walked over with a tray with a smile.
Jiang Yansheng sucked in her stomach and smiled. "I'm not in the company this morning, so I bought some to take back."
She had forgotten to eat lunch, and now her stomach was starting to growl. It would be very embarrassing to tell others about this.
When she paid the bill, she took two loaves of bread and three small cakes in one go. The shop assistant did not even blink and scanned the QR code with ease.
"Is your manager not here today?" Jiang Yansheng listened to the beeping and felt flustered. She looked around and found that the people standing in the shop were only wearing ordinary clothes.
"Yes." The shop assistant smiled. She leaned forward slightly and covered her mouth with one hand. "To tell you the truth, Miss Jiang, even I have never seen the manager's real face."
Jiang Yansheng was a little surprised. "The manager has never been here?"
Did he not even attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the beginning of the shop? The boss who did not even know her own shop assistant was really a failure.
"Maybe only the team leader has seen him." The shop assistant smiled and separated the bread and cake into two boxes. She carefully packed them and handed them over. "Please take it."
"Welcome to come again."
As soon as they walked out of the door of Edison Paris, Jiang Yansheng trotted into the Jiang Clan's gate. After turning the corner, she could not see the dessert shop across the street. She quickly opened a box, took out the bread from it, and couldn't wait to start eating.
"Ding …"
Her phone rang unexpectedly. Jiang Yansheng almost choked and couldn't breathe.
She patted her chest and swallowed it with a blushing face. She asked angrily, "What's the matter?" “
"Yansheng …" Second Uncle's strange voice came from the other end of the phone.
