Xiao Chuyun took the glass calmly.
Jiang Yaru looked at him anxiously, wringing her hands. Seeing that he didn't drink the wine but put it aside after taking it, Jiang Yaru sighed with relief.
Although she had been a celebrity for many years and had relied on her connections to climb to where she was today, every time Jiang Yansheng spoke to her, she would still feel apprehensive. Sometimes, her mouth would open, and her brain would be frozen, unable to move.
Sometimes, she had nightmares about the first time she came to the Jiang Mansion with Shen Lu. At that time, her mother turned the Jiang Mansion upside down.
The gentle and elegant hostess didn't say a word, but she raised a daughter who was like a mad dog and directly pushed her down the steps of the gate.
Her forehead was covered with blood, and she was pulled up by the young but fierce Jiang Yansheng. She was also ridiculed, "What clothes are you wearing? Did you pick them up from the garbage?"
Later on, no matter what she liked, Jiang Yansheng would snatch it away, snatching it away like a storm.
Jiang Yansheng didn't notice that Jiang Yaru was lost in thought. She just shrugged and felt a little sorry for Xiao Chuyun's insensitivity.
Xiao Chuyun looked at her. "Miss Jiang, are you going to get married again? I remember that you seemed to have a blind date with my brother a few days ago. "
Jiang Yansheng frowned and thought about it. After a moment, he suddenly understood. "It turned out that it was Mr. Xiao's brother. I waited for more than an hour, and then a drunk man with a woman came. I thought he was here to make trouble, and then I drove him out."
"I'm really sorry. I thought that Mr. Xiao's brother had something to do and didn't come that day. It turns out that I didn't recognize him."
Anyway, no one knew that she almost fought with Xiao Chuyi that day except for the people present. She was just exaggerating her grievance, which was very reasonable.
Xiao Chuyun suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I was taught not to speak. I didn't expect to leave such a bad impression on Miss Jiang. I punish myself with a glass of wine."
He didn't take the glass of wine that Jiang Yansheng had just given him. Instead, he poured himself a new glass and drank it in one gulp.
Jiang Yansheng raised his eyebrows. "How is this Mr. Xiao's problem? It's your brother's behavior that is a bit unruly."
"I think the fact that you chased him out must have left a deep impression on him, so he went back and told me about it. At that time, I thought Miss Jiang was quite interesting. I didn't expect to meet her today. "
She smiled. "What do you think?"
"This is more interesting than I thought."
Jiang Yansheng sneered in his heart. What a high evaluation! Then why didn't you drink the wine I gave you just now?
Jiang Yaru, who had been ignored by the two of them, was a little annoyed. She wanted to crush the cup when she drank water.
What was going on?
Was she going on a blind date or was Jiang Yansheng going on a blind date?
While she was absent-minded, Jiang Yansheng suddenly patted her shoulder. "Yaru, dad's company has an endorsement recently. Did they ask you to do it?"
Jiang Yaru frowned. "The specific time hasn't been set yet. What's wrong?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled. "You are tone deaf and can't sing. Why did they ask you to do the endorsement? I didn't know it was you until I had a meeting two days ago. I talked to the board of directors openly and said that the endorsement is not suitable for you. "
"They asked me to find time to tell you that the endorsement will be changed. Don't worry about your Golden Bull Award. You should focus on getting the award first. "
Jiang Yaru still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jiang Yansheng's words left no room for discussion. Jiang Yansheng's casual words scared her so much that her little face turned pale.
Jiang Yansheng was in a good mood when he lowered his head to eat.
In fact, she didn't quarrel with the board of directors at all. She just took the proposal when it was handed to her.
Now that she had Wen Bo's shares, her position in the company had risen to the forefront. Everything had to go through her hands. She thought that Jiang Yaru wouldn't dare to ask Jiang Chu for the endorsement in person.
Time was still very important. There were some things that might turn out differently if they were to be delayed.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yansheng thanked the two of them elegantly. He was a little confused when he found that Jiang Yaru was still absent-minded.
It was just an endorsement. Why was she so flustered?
She narrowed her eyes slightly. When she was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Chuyun suddenly called out to her. "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yansheng turned around.
Xiao Chuyun said with a smile, "Just now, my troublesome brother came to ask where I was. I accidentally told him that you were with me. He was clamoring to make an appointment with you to change your opinion of him that day. When will Miss Jiang be free?"
Jiang Yansheng crooked his finger at him. "Let me borrow your phone."
The interface of Xiao Chuyun's phone was unexpectedly clean and tidy. It looked like an old business person's phone. Even the screen was a gradient color.
Jiang Yansheng typed a series of numbers on it, dialed a number, hung up quickly, and returned the phone.
"This is my number. Mr. Xiao, you can call me anytime if you need anything. But your brother …"
"I still have to think about it."
After Jiang Yansheng left, the chairs and tableware were not removed from the table. His presence reminded the two of them that the table for two had been occupied by the three of them for a whole hour.
The capacity of the table was much larger than usual.
Jiang Yaru pursed her lower lip. She fiddled with the mirror under the table to see if her makeup was messed up.
She was glad that today, Jiang Yansheng was the one who lost face in front of others, and she was as dignified and generous as ever.
Even if it was spread out, Jiang Yansheng would be the one with a bad reputation, not her.
Today's blind date was the best one her mother had picked out, whether in appearance or career. It was not a bad thing to let him get in touch with his grumpy and rude sister in advance.
She was just a little relieved when she saw Xiao Chuyun's movements from the corner of her eye. She felt an electric current run through her head to toe, and her heart was half cold.
Xiao Chuyun was picking up the glass of wine that he had just ignored Jiang Yansheng and drank it all unhurriedly.
Jiang Yaru was so shocked that she couldn't control her expression in time.
What was going on?
Didn't Xiao Chuyun explicitly refuse Jiang Yansheng's ambiguous invitation?
…
Jiang Yansheng came back from the back door. He leaned against the remote corridor that no one else would use, quietly listening to the girl in the middle of the restaurant who was immersed in the world of music.
It was a song that she liked to listen to a few years ago when she had just started a relationship.
It was a cliché and vulgar story about a secret love that could not be achieved.
At that time, she only felt that the melody was very beautiful, but now she felt that the lyrics were well written, rhymed, and hit the nail on the head. Especially when it came out of Amei's voice, it added an indescribable sadness.
When Amei closed the cover of the piano and came down from the side path, Jiang Yansheng walked up to her.
Amei had delicate features and was very pleasing to look at. When she smiled, there was only a dimple, which was obviously different from the way she sang a sad love song, but it also seemed natural.
Although it was the first time they met, Jiang Yansheng asked very naturally, "I was in a hurry to get to the venue. Have you eaten?"
Ah Mei raised her head in surprise, as though she didn't know why Jiang Yansheng would ask her this. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a waiter behind her gesticulating vigorously. She then came to a realization and smiled sweetly.
"I know you. Are you the one who bought me coffee the other day?"
"My surname is Jiang. You can call me Yansheng."
Jiang Yansheng smiled. "I asked him to pass it off as a kind listener, but in the end, he even secretly exposed my identity."
Amei explained seriously, "He didn't say it. I guessed it myself."
"The food here is too expensive. I can't afford it even if I split it. I'd better not add to your troubles."
When Yansheng reached out to shake hands with Amei, she nervously wiped her hand on her skirt before she reached out to shake his hand.
"I ordered too many dishes. You sang very well. Treat it as my treat."
"I'm not a male customer. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled and took Amei's arm to their seats. She went over to take a look. The two people who were eating next door had left, and the table was clean.
Amei sat opposite them obediently with a cup of hot coffee in her hand. She didn't touch the dishes on the table. Since Jiang Yansheng didn't move his chopsticks, she didn't dare to take any.
Jiang Yansheng pushed the plates in front of her. "I've eaten before. These are all yours. I just left them for a while, so the dishes are a little cold. You don't mind, right?"
Amei waved her hand. "I don't mind. I don't mind."
"Do you work at Muse during the day?"
Amei had just stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth when she hurriedly swallowed it. "I work at Muse during the day and on weekends. Sometimes I'm the band's backup singer, and sometimes I'm the guitarist. I fill in wherever there's a shortage."
Jiang Yansheng was surprised. "You know how to play the guitar?"
Amei was very shy. "Just a little. There aren't many people who know music in the bar. Most of the time, people come to the disco to drink. Very few listen to music. Boss said that I only need to know how to play the guitar."
"You've been there for a long time. I want to ask you about someone."
Amei didn't dare to eat the food. She obediently put her hands on her knees and looked at Jiang Yansheng like a primary school student being asked a question by her teacher. Her innocent and gentle look didn't look like she came from a chaotic place like Muse at all.
Jiang Yansheng's eyes darkened. "There's a guy named An Di who often goes to your place to play. Do you know him?"
Amei frowned and thought about it. "I have a little impression of him, but I don't usually interact with the people in the bar. If Miss Jiang isn't in a hurry, I can go to the bar and ask the band tomorrow. They usually stay for drinks."
Jiang Yansheng waved his hand. "Forget it then. That's not the main point."
"I came to you today mainly to ask you about something else."
Amei looked up carefully and watched as Jiang Yansheng took out a document from her bag and pushed it in front of her with a smile.
"This is an endorsement for the Jiang Clan Group. I wonder if you're willing to give it a try?"
Amei was stunned. She looked up in a daze. "This, this is for me?"
Jiang Yansheng lowered his eyes. Originally, he just wanted to find a singer to make the board of directors unhappy. The amount written on the contract was two-thirds less than the original amount.
