With Liu Chengyu's assurance, Xiao Jinning nodded happily and walked out holding Liu Chengyu's arm. The salesgirl in the styling salon looked at their backs enviously, saying, "Xiao Jinning and her fiancé are so close."
On the other side of things, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing soon arrived at the banquet. In fact, it was just a cocktail party held by the nobles of City A. Normally, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa wouldn't come to such an occasion, but Xiao Sa's company had received an invitation and his vice president had gone to City S on business, so he had to come. Xiao Jing came on behalf of the Qiao's International Group.
Why didn't the vice president of the Qiao's International Group come?
The vice president was so busy that he didn't have time to attend this kind of party. He was the most suitable person to attend this kind of party.
In the Qiao's International Group, Xiao Jing was also a vice president, but he had bought shares of the Qiao's International Group, so he was also a shareholder. He didn't have to be as busy as the hired vice president, and it was more suitable for him to attend this party.
Besides, as soon as the invitation was sent to the company, Qiao Liang's secretary directly sent it to his office. How could he escape from this?
The two brothers handed the invitation to the receptionist at the door and walked in. Xiao Jing took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray and handed one to Xiao Sa. Looking at the crowded hall, he shrugged helplessly and said, "In fact, this party is a true portrayal of people from all walks of life chatting and networking."
"I want to go to a movie." Xiao Sa looked at the hall with so many people. He thought that even if they weren't here, no one would notice. With so many people, who would notice if they came or not? Anyway, they had given the invitation to the receptionist at the door.
The two brothers were about to slip away when someone called out to them. Hearing the familiar voice, the two brothers looked at each other and turned back to greet Lin Ru and her husband. Xiao Sa said, "Uncle, Aunt, you're here to attend the banquet too."
Xiao Hongyi nodded lightly. "Only the two of you?"
Xiao Jing said coldly in a low voice, "If we knew we would meet you here, we wouldn't have come." His voice wasn't low, so the four of them could hear him clearly.
Lin Ru was furious when she heard this. Yesterday, when Jinning came back, she had heard that her advertisement was lost because of the two brothers. At that time, she had wanted to call and ask them why they did it, but she had been stopped by Xiao Hongyi. She didn't expect that they would talk to her like this when they saw her today. They were going too far.
Lin Ru glared at the two of them and said coldly, "Do you think you're in the right? What did Jinning do to you? The two of you actually tried so hard to get rid of her endorsement! What good will it do you if she loses the endorsement? Aren't you shareholders of the Xiao Group? Aren't you from the Xiao Clan? "
Xiao Jing looked at the protective look on Lin Ru's face and sneered. "Aunt, what do you mean? When did we get rid of her endorsement deal? You mean the endorsement of OLS? Yesterday's incident? Xiao Jinning told you that we got rid of her endorsement deal? You're really good at distorting the truth … "
Before Xiao Jing could speak, Xiao Sa stopped him and said, "Don't say it. Don't you know how good some people are at distorting the truth? She can even say that she's not her own daughter, so can't she say that we didn't do it? "
Lin Ru's face darkened. She took a step forward and glared at the two of them. "You'd better watch your mouths."
"Haha, even if I can't, Aunt, can you drive me out of the Xiao Family?" Xiao Jing looked coldly at Lin Ru and said coldly, "Do you think you're qualified?"
Lin Ru raised her hand to hit Xiao Jing, but Xiao Hongyi, who was quick to react, stopped her. "What are you doing? So many people are watching!"
Lin Ru glared at Xiao Hongyi. "Don't you see how arrogant they are? Didn't they say that I'm not a member of the Xiao Family? I'm just an outsider to the Xiao Family! "
Xiao Hongyi looked back at the two brothers, and Xiao Jing stepped forward and said, "Aunt, Uncle, I don't mean to criticize you, but everything needs evidence. Don't you think you're too partial to Xiao Jinning's side of the story? You should at least listen to us, right? Or listen to what the parties involved have to say. "
Just then, He Wanning came out of the room and seemed to be about to leave. Xiao Jing stopped him. "Director He!"
He Wanning's eyes flickered with surprise when he saw the two of them, but he quickly came over and greeted them with a smile. "Mr. Xiao Sa and Mr. Xiao Jing are also here …" His eyes swept over Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru, and his face immediately turned cold as he said coldly, "It turns out that President Xiao and President Lin are also here."
Xiao Jing was very satisfied with the change of He Wanning's face. He said with a smile, "Aunt, when she saw us, she insisted on coming over to ask us for an explanation. She said that Xiao Jinning's endorsement contract was lost because Sa and I interfered and forced you to kick her out and choose another endorser. Don't you think we're wronged?"
He Wanning remembered that the two of them had met Xiao Jinning in the underground parking lot yesterday. They must have misunderstood because they had stopped Xiao Jinning from going upstairs to see him. Thinking of this, he frowned, looked at Lin Ru and said coldly, "President Lin, I think our company's lawyer has made it clear to you about Miss Xiao Jinning's endorsement contract in court. We terminated the contract because Ms. Xiao Jinning is not suitable for the theme of our advertisement, and because Ms. Xiao Jinning unilaterally broke our confidentiality agreement, so we had to terminate the contract. It has nothing to do with the two young masters of the Xiao Family. They came to my company yesterday for something else, which has nothing to do with this contract."
"You're friends. Of course you can say whatever you want!" Because Xiao Jinning's endorsement contract had been rejected and she had been sued, Lin Ru was angry with He Wanning. "Director He, you said you've found a more suitable endorser, so I have the right to know who the endorser is, right?"
He Wanning smiled, but the curve of his mouth was cold. He shook his head and said, "No, President Lin, you have no right to know. Our confidentiality agreement must be abided by, not only by the model, but also by our company. I think you, as the decision-maker of our entertainment company, should be very clear about this."
Lin Ru paused and then her face paled. Her daughter's contract was destroyed because she didn't abide by the confidentiality agreement. In the end, she didn't even get the liquidated damages and had to pay a large amount of lawyer's fees! Thinking of this, Lin Ru cursed He Wanning's ancestors in her heart.
