"Young Master Lu is really quite the worryman; he even knows the future development direction of Huarui like the back of his hand." The words were full of sarcasm.
Lu Shen was too lazy to argue with Ran Jie. "I have a suggestion for you: greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
"Huarui's development to this point has not been easy, and every step from now on must be carefully considered."
Seeing Ran Jie talking to Lu Shen so calmly, the surrounding CEOs and directors couldn't help but think more highly of him.
Some people were whispering about the relationship between Ran Jie and Lu Shen.
"Ran Jie and Young Master Lu have a connection? I've never heard of that before."
"Could it be a family relationship we don't know about?"
Jian Ruoxi thought about it and said that being related by blood was indeed correct.
Lu Jin and Li Tianlei are a couple. Ran Jie is Li Tianlei's cousin, and Lu Shen is Lu Jin's older brother.
The two families will be in-laws in the future.
The ladies and young women in the room were now looking on with envy at Jian Ruoxi.
"Becoming Ran Jie's artist has this advantage: you can get close to Young Master Lu."
"If that's the case, I'd like to sign a contract with Huarui."
"Sign a contract with Huarui? We'll have to see if Ran Jie wants it first."
Han Mingyi had just coaxed the middle-aged man away when she saw Lu Shen, who exuded an aristocratic air.
Anyone would be captivated by her beauty, let alone her.
She unconsciously compared the middle-aged man in the lounge to Lu Shen, and the difference in their abilities became clear.
"If it had been Lu Shen who proposed back then, I would have said yes immediately."
When she saw Jian Ruoxi standing next to Ran Jie, the flames of jealousy leaped to their peak.
Why is she everywhere? And she's always so close to Young Master Lu.
If there weren't so many people around, she really wanted to push Jian Ruoxi away and stand next to Lu Shao.
Seeing that Lu Shen and Ran Jie were talking about Hua Rui, Jian Ruoxi felt a little bored. Moreover, her current position was too dangerous, as she could feel the sharp glares from several young ladies from wealthy families flying towards her.
"If I stay any longer, all the connections I've painstakingly built up will probably vanish in an instant due to women's jealousy."
Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but blame Lu Shen in her heart, thinking he was a femme fatale.
"Why do you have to come and interfere in my affairs when there are so many other banquets to attend?"
Jian Ruoxi seized an opportunity to interject, "Ran Jie, you and Young Master Lu continue your conversation. I'll go check over there." Jian Ruoxi left decisively, afraid that if she lingered any longer, she would feel reluctant to leave.
The moment she left, Lu Shen wanted to reach out and stop her.
But he found that he still didn't have the courage, so he had to withdraw his outstretched hand.
After Jian Ruoxi walked away, Ran Jie stopped pretending and asked directly.
"If it weren't for her, I doubt Young Master Lu would have said so much to me in one go."
He remained so calm and composed, something he hadn't dared to imagine before.
"Good to know." Lu Shen only replied with these four words, which almost made Ran Jie jump up and down.
Sure enough, this was Lu Shen's normal attitude towards him.
Seeing that Jian Ruoxi was alone, Han Mingyi called a waiter, took a glass of red wine from the tray, and walked towards Jian Ruoxi.
Jian Ruoxi just wanted to flee in a panic, to get a little further away from Lu Shenyuan. She didn't see Han Mingyi in front of her, and the whole glass of red wine was spilled on Jian Ruoxi's white dress.
"Oh, Ruoxi, I'm so sorry, I've dirtied your dress."
"However, you were running too fast just now; I couldn't dodge you in time."
The red accent on the moon-white dress stood out conspicuously.
At this moment, Mrs. Li appeared behind Jian Ruoxi, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Han Mingyi.
"Really? From behind, I saw you crashing directly into Ruoxi."
Not only is she unattractive, but she also has such a vicious mind.
Han Mingyi's actions just now were indeed a bit hasty, and she was prepared for others to see through her.
Today, no matter what others say, she is determined to take Jian Ruoxi to the lounge.
"Mrs. Li, you must be mistaken. How could it be that I bumped into Ruoxi? There are so many people in the venue. You can't be so blatantly biased towards her."
Han Mingyi's agent was surprised that after not watching her for a short while, she actually started arguing with Mrs. Li.
It almost scared his heart out.
Miss Han, can you please stop courting disaster? The trouble you're causing is getting bigger and bigger.
Upon hearing Han Mingyi's words, Mrs. Li laughed.
"You're the first person to dare say I have bad eyesight."
Han Mingyi didn't understand what Mrs. Li was saying, but Jian Ruoxi, who had done her homework beforehand, did.
Industry insiders say that Mrs. Li has a famously sharp eye, especially when it comes to jewelry and gemstones.
She can spot a diamond hidden inside a bunch of ordinary-looking stones at a glance.
Han Mingyi didn't want to continue entangled with this Mrs. Li, so she still smiled and tried to persuade Jian Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, let's not talk about who's right or wrong, but you should change out of that dress soon. I'm doing this for your own good."
It's ridiculous. Han Mingyi would do anything for her? Jian Ruoxi refused to believe it no matter what.
She's in such a hurry to let me go to the dressing room to change into my dress, who knows what might be waiting for me there.
She's not stupid.
"It's okay, you can wear the dress without changing it."
Jian Ruoxi called over the waiter behind her, "Could you please get me a pair of scissors and a glass of red wine?"
Han Mingyi couldn't help but wonder when she saw Jian Ruoxi's strange behavior. She would rather wear a dirty dress than change into a new one. Could it be that she was so poor that this was the only dress she owned?
In front of everyone, Jian Ruoxi took a new glass of red wine and poured it directly onto her dress, soaking most of the hem.
The alluring red stood out strikingly against the backdrop of the moon-white.
"Has she gone mad?" Han Mingyi had absolutely no idea what Jian Ruoxi was doing.
Then, under the curious gaze of everyone, Jian Ruoxi picked up the scissors and gracefully cut off the excessively long hem of her skirt.
The original floor-length dress has been transformed into a half-skirt, its irregular red color resembling a masterpiece, brimming with artistry.
Jian Ruoxi casually picked up a chopstick, tied her long hair up, revealing her graceful swan neck.
The transformation was completed in just a few minutes, turning her from a gentle, innocent girl into a playful little princess.
Mrs. Li looked Jian Ruoxi up and down approvingly, "I knew I hadn't misjudged her."
"Wait a moment." Mrs. Li made a phone call to her driver. "Bring me the ruby rose necklace from my room. I want to give it to Miss Jane."
“Mrs. Li, you’ve already given me one today, so I really can’t accept anything else from you.”
Mrs. Li gently patted the back of her hand, saying, "Good jewelry only shines when worn by the right person."
"You are the right person."
Someone couldn't help but clap, and then the whole audience erupted in applause. It was simply a perfect costume show.
