Chapter 21 Honored

When Lin Qing heard this, a shy blush appeared on her face.

She raised her head, blinked at him with her watery eyes, and her voice became sweeter.

"Thank you, Brother Yanbai, for your guidance. I'll go and revise it right away."

She held the notebook as if it were a treasure.

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned around as if he remembered something.

"By the way, Brother Yanbai."

She said softly with an innocent smile on her face.

"Since I have already drawn a pattern that will satisfy Mr. Wang, then Brother Yanbai, please stop being angry with the eldest lady."

"She didn't mean to do that."

This sentence is like adding fuel to the fire.

The air pressure around Jiang Yanbai suddenly dropped to freezing point.

He did not respond to Lin Qing, but just glanced at her coldly with his bottomless eyes.

Lin Qing's heart trembled when he saw that look, and he closed his mouth awkwardly.

Jiang Yanbai walked quickly towards his office.

"Bang!"

He slammed the office door shut.

He walked straight to his desk and turned on his personal computer.

On the screen, the WeChat dialog box was still stuck on Gu Miaomiao's provocation.

"Lin Yi!"

His voice was as cold as ice.

Assistant Lin Yi immediately appeared beside him.

"How did she get access to my computer?"

Jiang Yanbai's fingers tapped heavily on the table.

"Did you tell her the password?"

When Lin Yiyi heard this, his face turned pale instantly, he panicked, hunched his body, and lowered his head even lower.

"No, no! I dare not do anything that President Jiang has not ordered!"

"Besides you, I'm the only one who knows the password to the computer. It will never be leaked!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanbai pounded the table with his clenched fist.

The tabletop vibrated with a dull thud.

A storm brewed in his eyes.

Good job, Gu Miaomiao!

You are getting more and more capable!

Lin was trembling with fear, and cold sweat had soaked his back.

He argued stubbornly.

"Boss Jiang, could it be..."

"Miss Gu, did she just accidentally see your password?"

Jiang Yanbai's eyes were directed straight at Lin Yi.

The voice grew colder.

"From here on, we became part of the Jiang Group."

"How many times has she come to my place?"

Lin Yi was nailed to the spot by this gaze, his throat tightened and he couldn't utter a word.

yes.

Gu Miaomiao has always avoided him like the plague.

How could I accidentally see the password?

The anger in Jiang Yanbai's chest continued to rise, almost breaking through the constraints of his reason.

Just as he was about to explode, the phone on his desk vibrated at an inopportune moment.

On the screen, the three words "Wang Jingchi" were jumping.

Jiang Yanbai's eyes darkened and he reluctantly pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

His voice still held a hint of anger.

Wang Jingchi's shrewd voice immediately rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Boss Jiang, are you still busy right now? I hope I didn't disturb you, Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Yanbai closed his eyes and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

When he spoke again, his voice had returned to its usual gentle tone.

"Of course not. Mr. Wang is very busy, so it's an honor for me that he condescended to contact me."

"I wonder why Mr. Wang called?"

Wang Jingchi on the other end of the phone chuckled twice.

"It's nothing serious. I just thought, if Mr. Jiang is free tonight, why don't we go out for a quick meal together?"

"How about letting me, as an investor, meet the spokesperson for our Angel Wings project?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanbai glanced at Lin Yi who was standing beside him.

Lin Yi immediately understood and quickly checked on the tablet.

After a moment, he nodded gently to Jiang Yanbai.

Wu Yiran is free tonight.

Jiang Yanbai's lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Sure. How about eight o'clock in the evening?"

"I'll arrange the location."

Wang Jingchi's voice was filled with satisfaction.

"Okay, then it's settled. Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern."

Jiang Yanbai hung up the phone and threw it back on the table.

His face was darker than the night outside the window.

Wang Jingchi.

What exactly does this old fox want to do?

He wanted to see who set up this Hongmen Banquet for whom.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the VIP box of Jingcui Restaurant.

The lighting is soft and the air is filled with the aroma of high-quality ingredients.

Several people were sitting at the long dining table.

Jiang Yanbai's hand holding the wine glass paused almost imperceptibly.

His eyes fell on the smiling woman across from him.

Gu Miaomiao? Why is she here?

He remained calm, but his eyes were like sharp blades, scanning her body.

Gu Miaomiao pretended not to notice his scrutinizing gaze.

She curled her red lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

The slender fingers pinched the goblet and shook the amber liquid in the cup gracefully.

Then she turned to Wang Jingchi with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for inviting me to this dinner."

Wang Jingchi smiled heartily and raised his glass in response.

"Of course. Miss Gu is the soul of jewelry design for our Angel Wings project."

"I heard your design is almost finished, so I thought we should get everyone together."

"And let you see with your own eyes our chosen spokesperson, Ms. Wu Yiran."

As Wang Jingchi spoke, his eyes flickered vaguely at the young girl on the other side.

"After all, this jewelry must complement the spokesperson's temperament."

That look was filled with undisguised scrutiny.

When Wu Yiran's name was called, two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.

She was wearing a well-fitting white dress, which made her skin look even whiter, but she seemed a little uneasy at the moment.

She subconsciously lowered her eyes, her fingers nervously picking at the tassels on the edge of the tablecloth.

Seeing this, Wang Jingchi's smile deepened. He reached out and grabbed Wu Yiran's wrist.

There was a sharp pain in his wrist, and Wu Yiran frowned slightly.

"Oh, Miss Wu, what's wrong? Are you still worried about not being able to give birth?"

"It's not like I haven't seen you before. I noticed you a long time ago when I was at the company."

"I wonder if you've ever seen me?"

Wu Yiran's body stiffened slightly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Yes...I saw it, Mr. Wang."

Wang Jingchi raised his eyebrows and asked with a joking tone.

"Since you saw it, why didn't you say hello to me?"

"Does it have to be like this, where I specially organize a dinner party for us to get to know each other formally?"

Wu Yiran's head drooped even lower, almost buried in her chest, and her cheeks were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

The atmosphere in the box became a little subtle because of this slightly awkward tug-of-war.

Jiang Yanbai glanced at the scene, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the wall of the cup.

This Wang Jingchi is indeed not a good person.

Wu Yiran looked quite pitiful.

If he spoke...

At this moment, a clear voice with a faint smile broke the deadlock.

Gu Miaomiao put down her wine glass, looked at Wang Jingchi, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Boss Wang, why are you so persistent in targeting our sister Yiran? Could it be that..."
