Chapter 16 She is the most dazzling one in the crowd
In the high-end and luxurious dressing room, Jiang Wanning looked at herself in the mirror and was in a trance for a moment.
The long black hair she had kept for three years was curled back into big wavy curls by the hairstylist. She wore a simple dark red strapless evening dress inlaid with diamonds, which made her already fair skin look even more crystal clear.
Looking up, the beautiful face that had been hidden behind her black-framed glasses for a long time, now with exquisite makeup on, was even more gorgeous and eye-catching, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
"Wait, there's this."
Stylist Mudan took out her treasured crystal necklace and carefully put it on Jiang Wanning: "Oh my god, baby! When I saw this necklace, the first thing I thought of was you. It's like it was tailor-made for you."
"It's a shame the pearl was covered in dust. Today it finally has its owner. It's so beautiful!"
Jiang Wanning's originally empty neck was embellished with the necklace, and it seemed as if the whole look came alive, highlighting the mysterious and dangerous aura around her.
Su Xu heard the noise here and came over.
She was a connoisseur of fine goods. The moment she saw the crystal necklace, she couldn't help but smack her lips. "If I'm not mistaken, this necklace was made by a top American jewelry master. It's the only one of its kind in the world."
"You stingy guy, when did you become so generous?"
"Tsk, what do you know."
Mudan's real name is Chen Zhiyi. She rolled her eyes when she heard that.
"First of all, I've never been a cheapskate."
“Secondly, art can only show its highest value when it is placed in the right person!”
Chen Zhiyi is the most senior stylist in the country. She met Jiang Wanning by chance while studying abroad.
At that time, she was attracted by the mysterious and dangerous temperament of the latter, and was determined to design a set of the most suitable outfit for him.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was willing to step down from the altar and hide her identity for the sake of money, which made her never have the opportunity to show her talents and almost became a regret in her career.
Now that I finally have the chance, I naturally want to use all the treasures I have in my collection to feel satisfied.
"Yes, yes, I'm a country boy. I don't know how to appreciate art."
Su Xu rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
Seeing that the two friends were about to start a quarrel, Jiang Wanning quickly acted as a peacemaker: "Okay Ah Xu, isn't it almost time for us to meet up with Lin Xiao? Let's get going quickly so we don't get late."
"Okay, since our Ningning has spoken, I will not bother with you, a stingy guy, for now."
Chen Zhiyi pretended to chase him away: "Go away, you childish ghost!"
But at the same time, she looked at Jiang Wanning with certainty: "Ningning, believe me, you are definitely the most dazzling presence in the crowd tonight. Go forward boldly."
Although Chen Zhiyi didn't know what Jiang Wanning had suffered at Shi Wang's hands, she knew this old friend and knew that once she made up her mind about something, she would never go back on it.
Now she has given up the love she once pursued so persistently, probably because she suffered unbearable setbacks.
That's why I said these words, hoping that the other party can cheer up again.
"certainly."
Jiang Wanning curled her red lips, and the look in her beautiful eyes was unusually firm.
Since she has decided to take off the disguise of the little white rabbit, then tonight she must be the most seductive and dangerous black rose.
…
By the time the two drove away from Chen Zhiyi and arrived at Zero Degree Bar, night had already fallen.
At that time, the streets here, which were too quiet during the day, were already bustling with people of all kinds.
But without exception, they are all well-known figures in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
This is because the boss behind this bar is said to be the best in the world.
When Jiang Wanning got out of the car, she undoubtedly became the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Some people admired her beauty, but more people were looking at the crystal necklace around her neck.
"If I remember correctly, that necklace is a top luxury limited edition, the only one in the world, right?"
"Tsk, you said it's the only one of its kind in the world. I heard it was snapped up by some big shot in China and kept at home. Hers is probably a fake."
"Maybe it's another pheasant trying to become a phoenix. I think there's going to be something interesting to watch tonight."
Jiang Wanning had not appeared in public for a long time. At this moment, Su Xu went to the garage to park her car, and no one in the crowd could recognize her identity.
But she didn't care about it. She walked straight past the crowd and went to the front desk of the bar, where she ordered two of her favorite drinks.
When the strange yet mellow liquid slid across her taste buds, Jiang Wanning felt as if she was in another world.
The cells in the body seem to be reawakened at this moment, clamoring to regain their home territory.
The bartender next to her saw that it was her first time here, but she seemed very familiar with the place. He felt strange and wanted to go up to her to chat and ask a few questions, but he didn't expect that a tall man sat down next to Jiang Wanning opposite.
......
When Shi Wang was brought to the Zero Degree Bar by his colleagues, the atmosphere here had already reached its most lively climax.
He actually doesn't like to attend such occasions.
But unfortunately, he and his boss were jointly responsible for this case tonight, and he had to follow up on it very carefully, even staying up for several nights for it.
Now that the project has been successfully negotiated, as the main contributor, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to make an excuse not to attend the celebration banquet.
What surprised him was that he actually saw Xu Moli in the crowd.
"Time is delusion."
Seeing him arrive, Xu Moli blushed a little embarrassedly: "Our crew is having a dinner here today after wrapping up filming. I just happened to see a friend I've worked with before, so I came over to say hello. I didn't expect it to be your colleague. What a coincidence."
After she finished speaking, she walked to Shi Wang very naturally and took his arm.
The crowd immediately erupted in laughter and ridicule: "Shi Lu, I never thought you were the one hiding the most!"
"I've known for a long time that you have a good wife at home, but I've never met her. I didn't expect she'd be such a big star! No wonder you didn't tell us!"
Seeing this, Shi Wang pursed his lips and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly caught a pretty figure in the crowd not far away.
Although she looked a little unfamiliar, he recognized her at a glance. It was Jiang Wanning!
Without her glasses, she looked like a completely different person, almost indescribably beautiful.
Shi Wang was so stunned that he stood there in a daze.
He never imagined that Jiang Wanning had such a captivating side beneath her quiet and well-behaved appearance.
It made him subconsciously want to get closer.
But before Shi Wang could react, a tall man sat down next to Jiang Wanning.
Under the ambiguous lighting, the other party was so self-righteous that he wanted to put his hand on her: "Beauty, are you alone?"
