Rong Zhan sat down, still smiling.

His sharp eyes, like those of a cheetah, were fixed on Qiao Chu.

"Mrs. Jiang is very humorous! The truth is different from the rumors. Mrs. Jiang is very cheerful and doesn't have a resentful look. She looks radiant, which shows that you are actually doing very well and has shattered many rumors."

Qiao Chu took a sip of her bubble tea and continued to smile.

Her sharp eyes met Rong Zhan's gaze.

"Rumors are just rumors, some true and some false. Those who believe them will believe them, and those who don't will still not believe them. I didn't expect that President Rong would also pay attention to rumors!"

"The whole of Haicheng is filled with news about Mrs. Jiang. Even if I don't want to know, it's hard for me not to have heard about it."

"Rumor has it that I was the one who sent Miss Rong to the hospital. Does Mr. Rong believe that?"

"I never say anything without evidence."

Qiao Chu's smile deepened, and she joked, "That's why President Rong is sitting here chatting with me."

"I admire Mrs. Jiang's reputation, and today I am fortunate to meet her."

"Mr. Rong, you're too kind! I should be grateful that you didn't treat me like an enemy. I'm flattered by your kind words!"

Rong Zhan's smile deepened. "Mrs. Jiang, you're too kind! I truly admire you! Mrs. Jiang's performance at the auction was truly outstanding! Congratulations on winning the imperial green jadeite!"

"Mr. Rong, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

"There's another jadeite rough auction next month. Is Mrs. Jiang still interested in participating?"

"I'll see what my husband thinks! If he participates, I'll go with him. If he lets me take the photos, I'll take them. It's up to my husband."

Rong Zhan smiled inscrutably.

His milk tea arrived, and he took a sip.

But his sharp eyes, like those of a cheetah, never left Qiao Chu.

This woman is cunning as a fox, quite interesting!

Her shifts between defensiveness and probing were smooth and natural, without revealing her true feelings.

He used to think she was just a pretty face, but he never expected her to be so outstanding.

Rong Yan was too impulsive; it's perfectly normal for her to lose to Qiao Chu.

...

Everyone has their own ulterior motives!

Qiao Chu was also scrutinizing Rong Zhan.

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

They may appear harmless on the surface, but they will not hesitate to use underhanded tactics to harm others.

Rong Zhan is also a cunning and shrewd old fox.

In the business world, he is known as the "Black Knight".

Such conversations are definitely purposeful.

Everyone is on guard and testing the waters, and no one is going to easily step on a landmine.

...

Qiao Chu not only drank bubble tea but also ate cake, both of which are high-calorie foods.

Suddenly, Rong Zhan joked, "I remember, you used to be a famous model."

"Are you surprised that I can eat so many high-calorie foods without worrying about gaining weight? Actually, I haven't paid much attention to it since I left the entertainment industry. I eat whatever I want. Yesterday, I just ate braised pork and garlic-flavored pork ribs wrapped in paper."

"You have no plans to make a comeback?"

"Do I still need to make a comeback?"

“That’s right. You’re the boss’s wife now, so you don’t need to come out and show your face.”

"Mr. Rong, that's not right. Modeling is a career, and it's also a representation of fashion. How can we do without fashion in our line of work?"

"Two major conglomerates are holding fashion shows on the same day. Mrs. Jiang, aren't you considering changing the date? Aren't you worried about the media not attending?"

Qiao Chu smiled charmingly, "Let the media worry about it themselves. There are precedents in fashion history for two major brands to hold their launch events on the same day, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Rong Zhan smiled meaningfully, "Mrs. Jiang is very confident, I admire that!"

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Mr. Rong."

Suddenly, Qiao Chu's phone rang.

Answer the call.

"Honey, I ran into Mr. Rong at the bubble tea shop, and we're chatting!"
