Chapter 368 Pull

Ji Wan said this coldly, walked around He Wanqing, and walked out of the revolving door without looking back.

He Wanqing was left standing there, her face turning pale and blue.

She took a few deep breaths, took out her cell phone, looked at the recording time jumping on the screen, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ji Wan, you said this yourself.

She adjusted her expression, put on a gentle and decent smile again, turned and walked towards the elevator.

…

Ji Wan walked aimlessly on the street until his legs and feet became sore, then he stopped at a nice-looking cafe on the side of the road.

She needed some time and space to digest what had just happened.

After ordering a cup of black coffee, she chose a seat by the window and sat down, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, but her heart was still in turmoil.

Her phone vibrated. It was a text message from an unfamiliar number asking if she had time to meet about a potential collaboration project.

The signature is: Su Mingyue, Star Capital.

Ji Wan frowned. Star Capital?

She had some impression of this name. It was an investment company that had emerged rapidly in recent years. Its founder, Su Mingyue, was a legend in the industry. She started from scratch, had a sharp vision, and acted decisively. She was an absolute strong woman.

But how could she find herself?

Ji Wan hesitated for a moment, but still replied in agreement.

Perhaps a fresh start would allow her to temporarily forget all the unpleasantness. Half an hour later, a woman in a neatly tailored silver-gray suit and with a powerful aura pushed open the door of the cafe.

Her eyes scanned the store and quickly locked onto Ji Wan.

The woman walked straight towards him with a confident and calm smile on her face.

"Hello, Miss Ji, I am Su Mingyue." Her voice was clear and had a convincing power.

"Hello, President Su." Ji Wan stood up and shook hands with her.

Su Mingyue's hands were warm and strong.

"Excuse me for disturbing you. I hope I didn't bother you."

Su Mingyue sat down opposite her and ordered the same cup of black coffee.

"I have been following Miss Ji for a long time. I admire your talent and ideas in design very much."

Her opening remarks were direct and sincere.

"Especially the several charity projects you did in your independent studio before. They were very thoughtful and heartwarming."

Ji Wan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party knew him so well.

"Mr. Su, thank you for your praise."

"I never praise people easily." Su Mingyue smiled, her eyes sharp but not oppressive. "Xingchen Capital has recently been focusing on the cultural and creative industries and emerging designers. I think Miss Ji has great potential. I wonder if you are interested in discussing future possibilities with us?"

Instead of talking about investment directly, she used the word "possibility", which seemed more respectful and attractive.

Ji Wan looked at the confident, strong and goal-oriented woman in front of him, and the haze in his heart caused by Chi Wenyan seemed to be dispelled a little.

Dealing with outstanding people always gives people strength.

"I'm honored, President Su." Ji Wan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

She felt that this might really be a good opportunity.

The two women, who were both shining in their respective fields, had a pleasant conversation amid the aroma of coffee.

Su Mingyue not only has a business acumen, but also has extremely high emotional intelligence and unique insights into art.

Ji Wan discovered that they shared many of the same ideas.

A negotiation about cooperation gradually turned into a relaxed and pleasant exchange.

When they left the cafe, they not only finalized the preliminary intention of cooperation, but also seemed to have established a subtle friendship.

Ji Wan's mood finally improved a lot.

Su Mingyue was very perceptive. Although they had just had a pleasant conversation, she was able to keenly notice the lingering depression between Ji Wan's brows.

Reaching a cooperation intention is just the beginning; building deeper trust is equally important.

"But what happened?"

Ji Wan didn't say much, and replied vaguely, "No, thank you for your concern."

A few days later, Ji Wan received an invitation from Su Mingyue.

It was not a formal business dinner, but a small private party held in a penthouse apartment owned by her.

The reason was to celebrate the initial cooperation and also to introduce her to a few friends in the cultural and creative circle.

Ji Wan did not refuse.

She really needed some relaxing social interaction to dilute the boredom in her heart.

The atmosphere of the party was just as Su Mingyue said, relaxed and elegant.

Soft jazz music flows and champagne bubbles dance happily in the crystal glasses.

There were not many guests, all of whom were carefully selected by Su Mingyue. They had a gentle temperament and good conversation.

Su Mingyue walked to Ji Wan with a wine glass in hand. She changed her silver-gray suit into a champagne-colored silk long dress, which made her look less fierce and more gentle and charming.

"How does it feel? Are you used to it?"

She asked softly, her eyes holding just the right amount of concern.

Ji Wan gave a sincere smile, and he felt quite relaxed indeed.

"Very good, thank you, Mr. Su."

Su Mingyue smiled and handed her a glass of prepared cocktail in a gentle pink color.

"Try this first encounter, it suits you very well."

Ji Wan took the wine glass and took a sip. The sweet fruity aroma mixed with the slight intoxication of alcohol made the taste unexpectedly good.

After a few drinks, with Su Mingyue's intentional or unintentional guidance and the relaxed atmosphere around them, Ji Wan's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

She began to talk more, her cheeks became slightly flushed, and her eyes became blurred.

Su Mingyue seemed to bring up the topic of love unintentionally, and several female guests also smiled and shared their own interesting stories.

Under the catalysis of alcohol, Ji Wan's suppressed emotions found an outlet.

She held the wine glass, her body swaying slightly, but her eyes were filled with sober resentment.

"Men, huh..."

A sneer, full of self-mockery.

She continued: "They're all assholes."

Su Mingyue's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't interrupt, just looked at her quietly.

"He says nice things, but I don't know how many things he has in his heart." Ji Wan's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, with a hoarseness from the alcohol. "Chi Wenyan, a two-timing scumbag."

She took a big gulp of wine, and a few drops of wine spilled on her skirt, but she was completely unaware.

"You think I don't know? He's having an affair with that woman."

Intermittent accusations, mixed with grievance and anger.

Su Mingyue listened quietly, her brows furrowed slightly.

Chi Wenyan?

This name is very familiar to her.

Based on her understanding of Chi Wenyan's behavior, he didn't seem like the kind of person Ji Wan described.

A bystander sees more clearly.

Especially a shrewd businessman, whose insight into human nature far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Ji Wan's condition was obviously not right, and his words were filled with the pain of being deceived.

I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding here.

Su Mingyue calmly glanced at her assistant, indicating that she should take care of the guests.

She took her cell phone and walked to a secluded corner of the terrace.

He slid his finger across the screen, found the number marked with Mr. Chi, and dialed it.
