Everyone lowered their heads even lower.
The short thirty-minute meeting seemed to last a whole year.
The entire company changed as soon as Wen Ran left yesterday.
Shang Jingchi led the company's senior executives to inspect various departments, and he disliked everything he saw.
He even asked people to throw away the green ivy on the windowsill because it was too green.
After the meeting, Shang Jingchi returned to the office and was busy all the time. He didn't show any intention of having lunch until one o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Yuan stood by with his stomach growling with hunger.
"Mr. Shang, shall I go to the restaurant and pack a lunch for you?" Xu Yuan asked carefully and respectfully.
If he doesn't eat, he really won't be able to hold on any longer.
Shang Jingchi didn't put down his pen, but replied coldly, "I'm not hungry."
Xu Yuan frowned, his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and thought that it would be great if Wen Ran was here.
At this time, Xu Yuan's cell phone rang. He opened it and found that it was from Wen Ran.
After reading the content, Xu Yuan's face was no longer sad, but even had a smile on it.
He straightened up, cleared his throat, and said to Shang Jingchi, "Mr. Shang, do you want to attend the industry cocktail party held by Jiang Group tonight?"
Shang Jingchi glared at Xu Yuan and said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you to refuse a few days ago?"
Xu Yuan ignored Shang Jingchi's gaze and said to himself, "But I heard that Miss Wen will attend."
Shang Jingchi: “…”
.
The Jiang Group cocktail party was held at the Jinyue International Hotel. The entire hotel covers a huge area and houses a banquet hall, bar, international cuisine, as well as a fitness center, entertainment center and other facilities.
Every area was decorated in a luxurious and elegant style. Wen Ran entered the banquet hall with the invitation.
All the invited guests are top figures in the industry, and Wen Ran is not on the list.
She got the invitation from Qi Xingchen. Qi Xingchen had too many schedules on weekdays and rarely had time to attend such a cocktail party.
Wen Ran stood in the banquet hall, and what caught his eyes was an extremely gorgeous and spacious space.
There is a three-meter-high crystal chandelier above your head, a Persian carpet from Iran under your feet, and a gorgeous and exquisite European-style table in front of you.
The table was filled with all kinds of top-quality wines, most of which Wen Ran had never tasted before, and the pastries and desserts were extremely exquisite.
There is also a white porcelain vase on each table, with bright red roses blooming tenderly in the vase.
Wen Ran looked at himself, and there was only one word in his mind: rustic, too rustic.
She was wearing a pure white off-shoulder dress with a corset. It was not a famous brand and the style was very simple. Around her neck was the DL butterfly necklace that Shang Jingchi had given her.
She also put on a "plain water" makeup look, which was not a bit different from those rich daughters and ladies wearing exaggerated jewelry.
But she didn't come here for the beauty contest today, she came here for Shang Jingchi.
Wen Ran had already texted Xu Yuan during the day, but he was not sure whether Shang Jingchi would come.
Shang Jingchi has always disliked this kind of social gathering place because he thinks it is too noisy.
Wen Ran didn't know almost anyone here, so she found a corner and went to enjoy the dessert by herself.
Whether Shang Jingchi comes or not, she can't go hungry.
Wen Ran tasted a variety of desserts in succession and was very satisfied.
Then she turned her attention to the fine wines, took a look, and was just wondering which one to try when a harsh voice sounded beside her.
"What's wrong with the security? Why are they letting anyone in?"
Wen Ran tilted his head and glanced over, recognizing it as Lin Xinya.
Lin Xinya has won the Golden Horse Best Actress Award for five consecutive years and has an unrivaled status in the entertainment industry.
She performed brilliantly in every drama and was extremely popular.
Compared to her acting skills, what is more outstanding is her appearance. She has high arched eyebrows and large facial features. She has a very standard dark complexion and is very impactful.
Compared with Wen Ran, the two seemed to be at the extreme points of the north and south.
It just so happened that Lin Xinya was wearing a tight black high-slit dress today, which formed a sharp contrast with Wen Ran's simple white dress.
Lin Xinya is 1.7 meters tall, and Wen Ran, who is 1.55 meters tall, looks like an elementary school student in front of her.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Wen Ran opened his big, innocent eyes, full of curiosity.
Lin Xinya was stunned at first, and then anger instantly surged in her heart.
"You country bumpkin, you're so ignorant!" Seeing Wen Ran holding the bottle of wine without any image, he said with disdain, "A wild boar wants to taste the bran? How shameful!"
Wen Ran listened to her words, his expression calm as usual.
She put the bottle back on the table, wiped her hands gracefully with a wet tissue, and then stood up.
He walked up to Lin Xinya, tilted his head and asked in confusion, "I'm a wild boar? Then what about you who didn't know how to rush to film the wild boar scene?"
After saying this, Wen Ran smiled meaningfully, "It seems like you're not even as good as a wild boar!"
"You dare to scold me?"
Wen Ran's anger turned Lin Xinya's beautiful face into the color of liver.
Because Wen Ran's words hit her directly.
When the crew of "Jiang Hu Ling" was in the planning stage, they intended to let Ruby Lin play the leading female role, but Wen Ran suddenly appeared and snatched her job.
The filming was halfway through when the director team suddenly wanted to replace the cast. Lin Xinya has always been arrogant, but she really wanted to act with Actor Qi, so she had to recommend herself.
Now that the director team has decided to let her play the leading female role again, she is very afraid that people in the circle will say that she is picking up roles that others don't want.
Wen Ran shrugged. "Which ear did you hear me scolding you with? Miss Lin has poor hearing. She said it was the best actress. Could it be that she misheard the name at the awards ceremony and it wasn't you?"
Wen Ran's voice was light and cheerful, and the words he uttered were so infuriating that they could kill you.
Lin Xinya has been a child star since she was young. It can be said that she grew up in the entertainment industry. People in the industry have always flattered her. She has never met someone like Wen Ran.
In a fit of rage, she raised her hand and was about to hit Wen Ran in the face.
"oops!"
Wen Ran yelled, and just before Lin Xinya's fingertips were about to touch her cheek, she bent her knees and sat on the ground, leaving Lin Xinya's hand empty.
Everyone in the banquet hall looked over here.
Wen Ran covered her cheeks with her hands, tears in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
He raised his head and asked aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"
Lin Xinya widened her eyes, looking stunned. Her hand clearly did not touch Wen Ran just now.
Just as he was about to retort, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Xu Yuan, kick her out of the banquet hall!"
Lin Xinya looked in the direction of the voice and recognized that the person who spoke was Shang Jingchi. She had seen him at a charity dinner before and knew Shang Jingchi's family background.
She had even talked to Shang Jingchi before!
Lin Xinya watched Shang Jingchi walking towards her step by step, thinking that Shang Jingchi must have witnessed everything just now and knew that Wen Ran was acting and came to help her.
Lin Xinya shook her hair. She wanted to see how Wen Ran would be kicked out of the banquet hall.
