Chapter 167: Each with His Own Thoughts

So, without discussing it with Wei Lai, Zhao Wan went to a plastic surgery hospital on her own to have her face adjusted. Unlike Qiao Yan, Qiao Yan was very willing to have plastic surgery. She made adjustments based on her own characteristics, and the result was more natural. Some people even believed that her face was her original one.

Zhao Wan, determined to surpass Qian Muchue, had her eyes opened, her nose done, and her chin reshaped. Each part of her body looked much more refined, but when put together, the traces of the surgery were a bit obvious.

Her original appearance was very suitable for playing the role of a silly and sweet heroine. Now that her face has moved, although it has become more delicate, it has also lost its personal characteristics. Seeing Zhao Wan like this, Wei Lai almost fainted from anger, and gave the role that he had planned for Zhao Wan before to other artists.

Zhao Wan got the invitation this time through connections. Ever since Qian Muchue and her husband arrived at the banquet hall, her eyes have fallen on Qian Muchue and Gong Chen from time to time. However, Qian Muchue and Gong Chen were seated very close to the front at the charity event, so she didn't notice her behind them.

Her outfit today was different from before, and her style was a bit like Qian Muchue's. To be honest, Qian Muchue felt a little disgusted when she saw Zhao Wan like this.

The two did not say hello to each other. Gong Chen was standing by, very considerately bringing food to Qian Muchue, and he didn't notice at all that Zhao Wan, who looked somewhat like his wife, was sitting opposite him.

"This is a dessert, eat less at night." Although he was giving it to Qian Muchue himself, Gong Chen still had to remind her.

"Just one bite." Qian Muchue looked at the exquisite little cake in her hand and responded with a smile.

The way the two of them were so affectionate made some people who wanted to approach and chat with them feel embarrassed to come over and disturb them.

Zhao Wan inexplicably interpreted this as Qian Muchue demonstrating against her. At this moment, a man came up to her and started talking to her.

"Hello, Miss Zhao, is there a chance for us to meet?" the man said with a smile.

Zhao Wan looked at the man in front of her. He looked to be in his thirties and was handsome, but he was a little less attractive than Gong Chen who was not far away.

"Hello, who are you?" Zhao Wan asked reservedly.

The fact that someone took the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation with her was a recognition of her personal charm, so even though Zhao Wan didn't think the other person was that good, she didn't resist.

"This is my business card." The man did not answer directly, but handed a business card to Zhao Wan.

Zhao Wan took it and saw that the name printed on the business card was Gong Wenjie, CEO of Wenjie Film and Television. Wenjie Film and Television was also somewhat famous in the circle and had invested in and produced many big-budget films. Whether it made money or not was unknown to outsiders, but it was recognized in the circle that Wenjie Film and Television was rich.

"Hello, Mr. Gong." Zhao Wan said with a smile, quite enthusiastic.

She knew about Wenjie Film and Television, but she was more concerned about the surname "Gong". This surname was relatively rare, and the only person Zhao Wan knew was Gong Chen who lived not far away.

"Ms. Zhao, I've seen your work and I like it very much. You look even better in person than on the screen. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future." Gong Wenjie praised with a smile, showing goodwill.

Hearing this, Zhao Wan smiled even more beautifully. Wenjie Film and Television had many big productions, so of course she was interested.

"It's my honor." Zhao Wan raised her hand to tidy up the hair on her forehead, and the scent of women's perfume emanated from her wrist.

Gong Wenjie smiled and praised her again, saying that he came to approach Zhao Wan with a purpose today. When he was checking Qian Muchue's background, he learned about Zhao Wan. The Zhao family was considered a wealthy family in City A, but Gong Wenjie didn't think much of the Zhao family at that time.

Just now, he noticed that Zhao Wan had been staring at Qian Muchue, and curiously asked someone about her identity. Only then did Gong Wenjie connect her with the daughter of the Zhao family in City A. It must be said that Zhao Wan's face had changed a lot.

Gong Wenjie has not had a good time recently. Ever since Wenjie Technology was forced to be deregistered, he has been unable to make ends meet and was forced to embezzle public funds from Mingyue Decoration Company. This time he came to the charity event to see if he could find someone who wants to invest in his project.

Unfortunately, Gong Mingwei, the backer, has become less and less useful in the past two years. Now there are few people who are willing to spend money to play with Gong Wenjie for Gong Mingwei's sake, especially since Gong Chen, the head of the Gong Group, is here today, and Gong Wenjie's identity as an illegitimate child is even less impressive.

But the appearance of Zhao Wan gave Gong Wenjie a brilliant idea. Although the Zhao family could not be compared with the wealthy nobles in City B, their conditions were still acceptable, especially since he learned that the Zhao family elders only had Zhao Wan as their biological daughter.

As for his other adopted daughter, Zhao Xi, Gong Wenjie didn't care about her at all. The Zhao family's property would definitely be handed over to his biological daughter. In the past, Gong Wenjie always wanted to marry a daughter of a wealthy family in City B, but the reality was cruel and this wish had never been realized.

But Zhao Wan in front of him is indeed a good choice. Marrying her is equivalent to owning the Zhao family's property. This is a good way for Gong Wenjie who is eager to solve the financial problem. Therefore, Gong Wenjie will try his best to win Zhao Wan's favor.

"You seemed to be looking at my sister-in-law just now. Do you know each other well?" Gong Wenjie asked curiously, in fact, revealing his identity invisibly.

"Sister-in-law?" As expected, Zhao Wan was very surprised.

"Well, Gong Chen is my half-brother. To be honest, our relationship is not very good. My father likes me more, so he can't stand me." Gong Wenjie said helplessly.

Hearing that Gong Wenjie was Gong Chen's younger brother and Gong's father liked him more, Zhao Wan changed her mind. In this case, Gong Chen could not be considered the only heir of the Gong family. If Gong Wenjie in front of her could take the position, Qian Muchue would have nothing to be proud of.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, Mr. Gong. You must be very outstanding, that's why Uncle Gong likes you more." Zhao Wan looked apologetic and praised Gong Wenjie gently.

Seeing Zhao Wan like this, Gong Wenjie knew that she was also interested in him. From childhood to adulthood, his identity as a descendant of the Gong family was very useful. The rich daughters of City B might like Gong Chen more, but it was more than enough to deal with this country bumpkin from City A.

"I'm very happy to hear what Miss Zhao said. I'm not used to the food here. I wonder if there is a chance for me to invite you to dinner?" Gong Wenjie looked like a gentleman.

Both parties had their own little thoughts. Zhao Wan did not refuse and agreed shyly.

When Gong Wenjie came up to chat with Zhao Wan, Qian Muchue, who was not far away, noticed it. When she saw the two of them leave, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Pay attention to what they are doing. They won't be able to jump around for much longer." Seeing Qian Muchue staring at the backs of Gong Wenjie and the other man as they left, Gong Chen reached out and turned her head towards him and said.

Qian Muchue looked at Gong Chen and blinked. In fact, she was not paying attention to Zhao Wan and the others. She was just curious. Gong Wenjie, the "business genius", plus Zhao Wan, who was not smart enough, the two of them combined had astonishing lethality. It must be miserable for their ally, right?
