Sure enough, when everything was settled, all the good stuff was in Xiao Chuyun's hands.
Gu Yan sat in his seat with a gloomy face. The smiles on the faces of the people who came with him suddenly disappeared, and no one dared to leave.
Xiao Chuyun walked up to Gu Yan calmly, reached out a hand to him, and looked at him with a smile. "Boss Gu, it's been a pleasure working with you."
Gu Yan pursed his lips, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He took a deep look at Xiao Chuyun, shook hands with him, and quickly left the meeting room.
"Gu … Boss Gu, why do you think he looks so gloomy as if he owes him money for eight lifetimes? Isn't it a happy ending for Yun Entertainment to take the bid? " Second Uncle, who had been intimidated by Jiang Yansheng for most of the meeting, had been sitting there silently. He only breathed a sigh of relief when Gu Yan left.
Jiang Yansheng looked up casually and smiled.
"There was a better choice. You know a person's face and heart. Now that it has fallen into the hands of a tiger, who can be happy?"
However, she did not expect Gu Yan to be so angry. She had thought that no matter which company it was, as long as it was rich and powerful, Gu Yan would be satisfied. Even if the final result was a little different, he would not be so angry at the meeting.
Second Uncle, however, did not think the same way as Jiang Yansheng. He scratched his head in confusion. "What tiger? You mean Yun Entertainment is blocking the way … "
His voice abruptly died down.
Xiao Chuyun walked in front of the two people.
Jiang Yansheng raised his eyelids and put on a fake smile. "Mr. Xiao, congratulations. You've been preparing for more than half a month, and now you've finally succeeded, right?"
Xiao Chuyun blinked at her, a bright and gentle smile on his lips. "Isn't it because I've treated you unfairly? If it weren't for Miss Jiang, I would have been in trouble. "
He gestured to Jiang Yansheng gracefully. "How about I treat you to a meal in return?"
Second Uncle stood aside. Although he did not know what Xiao Chuyun was thanking Jiang Yansheng for, he still felt proud. He frowned and pretended to be annoyed. "Mr. Xiao, it's not that we don't want to give you face, but we have to go back to the company later …"
Xiao Chuyun's face suddenly turned cold, and his aura was indescribably cold. "May I know who you are?"
"I am …" Second Uncle's face was a bit embarrassed. He didn't expect Xiao Chuyun to not give him a way out in such a public place. He hurriedly began to introduce himself.
Xiao Chuyun interrupted him indifferently, "I just want to invite Miss Jiang to a meal."
Second Uncle was speechless. It was as if sandpaper had been scraped in his eyes.
Seeing that he was being tactful, Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyebrows and asked Jiang Yansheng, "What do you want to eat?"
Since he had asked such a detailed question, Jiang Yansheng was too embarrassed to say that he was not hungry. After all, he had lied to Xiao Chuyun and promised that they were friends.
It was just a meal now, so he had to give face to his friend.
She tilted her head and smiled at Second Uncle, whose face was alternating between green and white. "I'll have to trouble you to deal with the company when we get back."
Someone was here to help her clean up the mess.
She did not want to go back and face Jiang Chu's angry face.
A moment later, Jiang Yansheng and Xiao Chuyun were sitting in a lively barbecue restaurant. She had never been to such a lively place with Xiao Chuyun before.
It was either a banquet or a western-style restaurant. Everything was exquisite, and they did not need to do anything except for the wine glasses and cutlery.
But now, the dignified CEO, who was usually more arrogant than the sky, was rolling up his sleeves to roast meat for her.
Jiang Yansheng blinked and confirmed that he was not living in a dream.
She looked at Xiao Chuyun, who was sweating profusely. "Mr. Xiao, if you really don't know how to, don't force yourself."
Xiao Chuyun sneered, and the barbecue clip in his hand made two crisp sounds, as if he was responding to Jiang Yansheng's gentle mockery. He gritted his teeth and instantly turned a piece of meat over.
This was the most suitable place for him to eat with his crush after asking his three special assistants. It was a place where he could fully display his thoughtfulness amidst the barbecued meat and the smoke of the fire, and it could also add a hint of ambiguity to the ambiguous relationship.
However, he did not expect that there would be a long line at the entrance of the restaurant because of the good business. When he sat down, he was shocked to find that he had never roasted meat by himself before.
It was a simple small clip, but when it came to his hand, it was as difficult as eighteen steps.
When the meat was almost burnt, he still had not turned it over.
Seeing Xiao Chuyun struggling with a few pieces of meat, Jiang Yansheng could not help but burst into laughter. She reached out her hand and said, "Give me the clip."
Xiao Chuyun stubbornly lowered his head and did not accept Jiang Yansheng's kindness. He seriously put the gold-rimmed glasses on the table and began to explain.
"It's mainly because I haven't eaten with someone for a long time. It turns out that I am very good at roasting."
Jiang Yansheng looked at Xiao Chuyun, who had lowered his head. His high nose bridge and deep eyebrows vaguely overlapped with Gu Yan's face for a moment.
Her eyes were empty for a moment.
When she came back to her senses, she not only did not withdraw her hand, but also subconsciously grabbed the clip and Xiao Chuyun's hand.
The cold touch in her palm reminded her clearly.
No matter when Gu Ran held her stubbornly, his palm would always feel warm.
This was Xiao Chuyun, not Gu Yan, nor anyone else.
Xiao Chuyun sat under the lamp, against the light. He looked at Jiang Yansheng in surprise and wanted to grab Jiang Yansheng's wrist.
Jiang Yansheng directly let go of his hand.
The clamp between the two of them landed on the sizzling roast meat with a crisp sound.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Yansheng was the first to apologize. She didn't look Xiao Chuyun in the eye, but stared unblinkingly at a small shining dot on the marble table. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "I used to … I used to come here often to eat."
When her mother passed away, Jiang Chu almost cut off her source of income. The most extravagant thing she did every week was to come to the barbecue shop to eat barbecue.
The shop was not as luxurious as it was now, and the materials and facilities were very simple. There was only a big iron snorkel on the tray.
She came here alone, and she ate alone.
Xiao Chuyun looked at her. "I really didn't see that. I thought Miss Jiang didn't often eat these ordinary things."
Jiang Yansheng smiled. "Who isn't an ordinary person?"
She picked up the slightly burnt meat and rolled it in the chili powder. She said lightly, "Actually, you didn't have to treat me to dinner. Didn't Mr. Xiao already pay me for my help in the bidding?"
Whether it was helping Amei with her music or helping her investigate Jiang Yaru, Xiao Chuyun had actually done a lot.
What I owe him now is like a snowball, rolling more and more.
But the person in question just smiled and pretended that it didn't matter.
This made her feel very apologetic.
Xiao Chuyun tried to fiddle with the tongs several times, but to no avail. Jiang Yansheng sighed, took the tongs, and began to use them skillfully.
Xiao Chuyun pinched the bridge of his nose and smiled helplessly. "I feel that this dinner is adding negative marks to my image."
What a miscalculation.
Jiang Yansheng smiled sincerely. She looked at Xiao Chuyun with bright eyes and said, "It's not like that."
Actually, after interacting with Xiao Chuyun more and more, she slowly realized that there were many different sides to this guy.
In fact, he was not as hateful as he was in the beginning.
Everyone should have a cute side.
Although Jiang Yansheng comforted Xiao Chuyun, he became more and more dispirited during the meal. As usual, he sent Jiang Yansheng to the apartment.
When the car door was opened, the cold wind rushed in. Jiang Yansheng wrapped his coat tightly around his body and jumped out of the car. His nose was red from the cold, and he waved at the car.
Xiao Chuyun rolled down the car window and sized up Jiang Yansheng's current neighborhood with a scrutinizing gaze. He shook his head in dissatisfaction. "To be honest, you shouldn't be living in this kind of place right now. Although I haven't been to your apartment before, it should be quite small."
"It's small." Jiang Yansheng's eyes turned into crescents when he smiled.
She lived alone. Why did she need so many rooms? They were all empty. Didn't she feel suffocated?
Xiao Chuyun clicked his tongue and looked at her with a dark expression. "If you want a new one, I can give you a small villa."
Jiang Yansheng stopped Xiao Chuyun's imagination. "Mr. Xiao, since you have the money, why don't you treat me to a few more meals?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled. "I said, I'm willing."
He had seen countless women over the years. There were only these three kinds of women who wanted a car, a house, or money. He had never seen anyone reject him so directly.
"Then don't you want to hear my opinion?" Jiang Yansheng stamped his feet and bent down to look at Xiao Chuyun. "I don't want to."
Xiao Chuyun's car sped away. Jiang Yansheng stood under the broken street lamp at the entrance of the apartment for a while and watched it for a while.
The yellow light above her head was on and off, accompanied by a sizzling sound, which was a little scary.
She tightened her clothes, turned around, and walked toward the apartment building. Suddenly, the door of a car with a plain logo that had been parked beside her silently opened.
A big hand pulled her from behind and dragged her into the car.
Jiang Yansheng whispered, and her pupils suddenly dilated. She frantically hit the shoulder of the person behind her with her bag.
Except for a muffled groan, the strength of the man's hand did not weaken at all. Instead, he grabbed her even harder.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yansheng desperately shook her head to get rid of the strength that was tightly shackling her. She breathed in the cold air, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
She was still calm. "If you want to rob me, I'll give it to you myself."
