In the largest private room of the Blue Ocean Club in City A, young men and women gathered together, laughing and joking.
Shen Jiayi leaned back on a sofa, lost in thought, her head down and silent.
Wang Qi, who was standing nearby, chatted with someone for a while, then leaned over and said, "Jiayi, what are you thinking about? You haven't said anything for a while."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Meng Shishi leaned over and said with a smile, "What could she be thinking about? She's thinking about her CEO Jiang!"
Wang Qi chuckled and put his arm around Shen Jiayi's shoulder, saying, "If you ask me, Jiayi, you should be more shameless. Look at Ye Ling, if you were even a tenth as shameless as her, Jiang Che would have been yours long ago."
Shen Jiayi glanced at her but didn't say anything. Meng Shishi, however, said, "You can't say that. Can our Jiayi compare to that kind of shameless person? Even if you want to pursue someone, you have to be tactful, right?"
Wang Qi laughed and said, "Then tell me, what good method do you have?"
Shen Jiayi looked at her and sighed in frustration, "Forget it, what other options are there? Haven't we tried everything, openly and secretly, over the years?"
Meng Shishi said, "If you ask me, President Jiang still hasn't figured it out. Look at all these years, where has a woman ever appeared by his side?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qi's expression turned somewhat strange, and she said hesitantly, "You can't say it like that, it makes it sound like President Jiang's sexual orientation is questionable..."
Shen Jiayi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her abruptly. Wang Qi quickly said, "I was just talking nonsense, don't overthink it."
Even Meng Shishi's expression changed for a moment, and she said hesitantly, "I don't think so?"
Shen Jiayi's expression changed several times in an instant, and after a long while, she finally said, "No."
She didn't know where the feeling came from, but she just felt that Jiang Che's sexual orientation was normal.
The group was lost in their own thoughts when suddenly a man walked in, beaming with a ruddy complexion.
When Wang Qi saw her, he smiled and said, "Oh, you seem so happy. Did it go smoothly?"
Shen Jiayi glanced at Kong Yingying, who had just entered, but did not say anything.
Kong Yingying sat down with a smile and said to them, "It went fairly smoothly. We met Grandpa Shen and President Shen."
Meng Shishi teased, "Oh my, so you're meeting the parents already?"
Kong Yingying quickly reached out to cover her mouth, her face also slightly flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just the company discussing cooperation."
Wang Qi asked with a smile, "So, President Shen agrees?"
Kong Yingying glanced at Shen Jiayi and replied, "President Shen has agreed to the cooperation. We'll sign the contract in a couple of days."
Meng Shishi smiled and said, "Not bad, the first step was a complete success!"
Shen Jiayi just smiled and didn't reply.
It's just a collaboration between companies, but it's being acted like a marriage alliance.
Kong Yingying glanced at Shen Jiayi's expression and tactfully changed the subject.
She knew that Shen Jiayi and Shu Yang had a good relationship. Ever since she found out about her feelings for Shen Du, Shen Jiayi had been giving her the cold shoulder. Although she didn't say anything, everyone understood what she meant.
Especially since Shu Yang and Shen Du's relationship has recently soured, it's normal for Shen Jiayi to be unhappy that she still went to contact Shen Du at this time, as long as she doesn't embarrass her.
She had been planning the collaboration with the Shen family for a year. Of course, she wanted more than just a collaboration, but this was an opportunity—an opportunity for her to openly and legitimately approach Shen Du.
She was the one who created this project proposal, and her father was happy to see it succeed. That's why he took her to meet Old Master Shen and Shen Du. Unexpectedly, she only had to explain her ideas, and Shen Du agreed after reading her proposal. Things went more smoothly than she expected. Now she could legitimately enter and leave Shen's company.
As soon as Kong Yingying changed the subject, the others started chatting about other things, joking with each other, creating quite a lively atmosphere.
"I heard the Ye family is on the verge of bankruptcy?"
Wang Qi scoffed upon hearing this: "Shouldn't they have gone bankrupt long ago? A destitute man, a whole family of scoundrels..."
Meng Shishi chimed in, "That's right, none of the Ye family members are good people, especially those two sisters, they're practically a pair of oddballs."
Someone nearby chimed in, "Exactly, especially that Ye Zhao. He couldn't even make it in City A back then, so he just left. We still don't know where he is!"
Meng Shishi, Wang Qi, and the others looked rather unpleasant upon hearing this, and Kong Yingying said directly, "Alright, why bring up that person? It's bad luck!"
Not everyone knew what happened at Old Master Shen's birthday banquet, and those who did know were wise enough to keep quiet.
Meng Shishi glanced at Shen Jiayi and said, "Ye Ling is still at Jiang's. She's a real handful, so Jiayi, you'd better be careful."
Mentioning this, Shen Jiayi also had a gloomy expression: "What trouble can she possibly cause? Jiang Che... would he even be interested in her?"
He only said half the story, but everyone understood.
Wang Qi said frankly, "It's not that I'm worried that President Jiang will take a liking to her, but you know the Ye family, their minds aren't on serious matters. What if she tries something underhanded and tricks you?"
Shen Jiayi pouted and said, "I know, I'll have someone keep an eye on her."
Meanwhile, Shu Yang, who was filming on set, was walking back home after finishing work when she casually took the phone handed to her by her assistant and looked through the messages on it.
She looked rather displeased after seeing something, then scoffed, "There are all kinds of people in the world."
Kong Yingying knows the Kong family. Old Master Kong and Old Master Shen are old friends and the two families have always kept in touch, but that doesn't mean that Kong Yingying has a chance.
Xie Yao is still Shen Du's first love. If it weren't for her interference, the two of them would have been separated in who knows how long. But after so many years of reunion, haven't they made any progress at all? Although she was partly responsible for the trouble, it's not entirely her fault, is it?
It would be ridiculous if they weren't together entirely because of her.
Even Xie Yao and Shen Du hadn't made any progress, let alone Kong Yingying. Shu Yang didn't care at all; she just disliked the Kong family's behavior, which seemed to have ulterior motives.
But she forgot that she herself had once been constantly trying to reach the depths of the abyss in the same way.
Chen Du had a meeting in the afternoon, and since I happened to be passing by the old house, I went back for a visit and brought back a project proposal.
Actually, this project wasn't a big deal for him, and he wasn't particularly interested in it. He just thought it wouldn't hurt to do something like this since Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Kong had some connections. After the meeting, he casually tossed the proposal to Lin Yi and asked him to take a look and prepare.
Lin Yi was completely baffled by the proposal, but Yang Xu immediately understood when he saw it was about a children's amusement park.
