Chapter 133 The Sorrow of Marrying a Male God
This time, everyone not only knew that Mrs. Long was a foodie, but also saw another side of her.
When G-Dragon was driving away, a reporter with quick eyes and hands quickly followed him. So while waiting for the red light in the car, G-Dragon leaned against Jing Rong's belly and talked. Jing Rong looked at him with tender eyes, and the scene was undoubtedly photographed by the reporter. Of course, the photo only showed G-Dragon leaning against Jing Rong's belly, and it was unclear what he was doing. But the tender affection between the two and the happy atmosphere lingering around them did not sound fake at all, it was full as if it was about to overflow. Even the reporters who were used to seeing the show in the entertainment industry were a little moved. Their motive for following was actually a little malicious. If the side of this couple who just made it public was different from what everyone imagined, then what a great news it would be!
Although many fans are willing to believe that there is true love between them, reporters do not believe it. They are used to seeing the so-called national couples and model couples, and they are not sure what they are like in private. As for the so-called true love in this circle, they remain skeptical until they are sure. It was precisely because of their previous disbelief that the reporters were completely astonished when they saw this scene. This reporter, known for her sharp follow-up reports, later wrote the article with the gentlest words she had ever used in her career, and concluded with the following words: "I know this report is inconsistent with my usual style. I have always advocated telling the truth, exposing many bad sides, and my harsh words have offended many people. So maybe everyone thinks I only know how to criticize and has a bad impression of me. But what I want to say is that it's not that I can't say nice things, it's just that I haven't met someone I feel attracted to. As for this couple today, I sincerely wish them to continue on this path forever. There is no need to consider each other's identity, status, or gaps. Two loving hearts leaning against each other are enough to overcome everything! To use a very popular saying, seeing them, I finally believe in true love."
In fact, there is no need for this famous sharp-tongued reporter in the industry to say such emotional words. Just looking at the photos she posted is already very convincing. We all have eyes and know what is acting and what is true expression. Facts are the most convincing. Of course, in addition to this scene, there is also a photo of G-Dragon taking advantage of Jingrong's unpreparedness and secretly kissing her on the lips, which was also faithfully photographed by the reporter. There are so many scenes that are completely different from their usual behavior, which makes fans very excited. They finally see the interaction between Brother Long and Sister Long, and it did not disappoint them at all!
The media has finally found the right direction and no longer tries to find fault. Instead, they promote and publicize Brother Long and Sister Long's "true love theory" in all kinds of reports. It's as if they have collectively lost their memory, as if they were not the ones who swore before that they were in a "relationship crisis". They are so slapped in the face!
At this point, the VIPs' fear that Captain Quan was unhappy could finally be completely put to rest. They had thought before that Jing Rong was aloof and a little cold and noble in front of others, but she would definitely not be like this when she was with Captain Quan. As the saying goes, steel can be softened by repeated tempering, and even a female man can be soft and cute occasionally. Besides, their Captain Quan is not masochistic. If Jing Rong was the same in front of others and behind their backs, and was always cold and dull, how could Captain Quan be with her for so long? However, no matter how firm their previous words were, they still felt a little guilty without evidence. Now that they saw Jing Rong showing her gentle side to Quan Zhilong without reservation, they were really sure.
The top trending topic in early December was undoubtedly "Sister-in-law Long, Brother Long is in your hands." It felt a bit like the sadness of marrying a daughter. Well, it was actually the sadness of marrying a man of honor.
On December 4th, Big Bang flew to Osaka, Japan again. On the day they left, Jing Rong happened to return to work at Xue Group. This was her first time appearing in Xue Group since Chairman Xue passed away more than two months ago. It probably also indicated her intention to make a strong comeback. Xue Group attached great importance to this from top to bottom. The management above the ministerial level even held a meeting specifically for this, which was basically to discuss how to welcome the return of their president. In the end, they lined the road to welcome Jing Rong at the company gate, as if Jing Rong was a leader who came to inspect.
Things are different now. If Jing Rong had just taken over the Xue Group, the old foxes in the company would definitely not be so cautious about her. They would be kind not to cause her some trouble. However, Jing Rong has taken over the Xue Group for more than two months. During this period, she has not appeared in the company, but the company has been running in an orderly manner, and her status has not been affected at all. Especially recently, her shadow can be vaguely seen behind many big moves - a president who is not in the company can still have such strong control. You can imagine her current strength. In this way, those foxes who are ready to move and have tried but failed can only keep their tails between their legs. This is always the case in the workplace. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. But if President Jing Rong's position is stable, everyone will change their attitude. Smart people know how to judge the situation and follow the boss, which is better than going against her.
It wasn't as if these people at the company truly welcomed Jing Rong's return. After all, who wants to have a giant Buddha sitting over their head? Before Jing Rong's departure, while she had a firm grasp on the overall situation, at least the emperor was far away, so it was essential to be more relaxed than when she was there. Such a grand welcome was merely a way to demonstrate their stance and to give in to Jing Rong. As the saying goes, a new official starts with three fires. Chairman Xue is a tiger, and after all this, they knew that Jing Rong, this little tiger, was definitely not made of paper. She had previously held back because of the unstable situation, or perhaps because of poor health and inability to do so. Now that she's back, those three fires should be ignited. A little subservience can keep her safe, so why not?
Xue's Group's grand display was known not only to the group's internal employees but also to many outsiders. Everyone was surprised to find out that Jing Rong had been recuperating at home and hadn't even been able to come to the company! The VIPs were happily imagining the death of Chairman Xue, Jing Rong's grief, and Captain Quan's unwavering care, which finally moved Jing Rong and brought her dead heart back to life. All these melodramatic jokes, all summed up in one sentence, were true love!
Time passed quietly amidst Big Bang's concerts around the world, various year-end award ceremonies, and music festivals. Jing Rong's several reforms in the Xue Group were very effective, which made her even more proud. She even personally took her assistant and secretary to arrange a series of matters for the Xue Annual Meeting.
The focus of the Xue Group's annual meeting wasn't the annual meeting itself, but rather the showcase of the new president and vice president, Jingrong and Zhang Jingran. With a combined age of just over a hundred, managing a large enterprise like the Xue Group, with tens of thousands of employees, seemed a bit of a joke to outsiders, even some insiders. However, Jingrong and Zhang Jingran proved to be excellent and methodical, every bit as good as when President Xue was in charge. Furthermore, they were still young and inexperienced, so maintaining this level of performance was already impressive. Once they had mastered the rules of the industry, they would undoubtedly thrive. It was only a matter of time before the Xue Group achieved further success. Of course, not everyone viewed Jingrong and Zhang Jingran with such a rational eye. They couldn't possibly confront each other and demand a thorough examination, asking them to prove themselves. The Xue Group's annual meeting served as a prime example. The larger the event, the more prestigious the attendees, and the more it showcased the skills of the new president and vice president, which would have a positive impact on their project collaborations and developments early next year.
Therefore, both Jing Rong and Zhang Jingran were very concerned about this, and Jing Rong's personal involvement was not an exaggeration. The Xue family's annual meeting was held at the Jinxiu Nianhua Hotel. Almost everyone who received an invitation came. Those who couldn't come would definitely send their wives or close relatives. The reception was bustling with cheers.
Jingrong was wearing a champagne-colored floor-length dress, with makeup on and her hair tied up. Her figure remained slender. Zhang Zhiyao, who came with her brother, circled around her several times and marveled, "If I hadn't seen the hospital diagnosis, I would have doubted whether you were really pregnant." As he spoke, he raised his chin towards Quan Zhilong who was standing next to Jingrong, "Your family doesn't let her eat, does it?"
"It's unfair. She doesn't gain weight after eating, and there's nothing we can do!" G-Dragon spoke to Zhang Zhirao in a decent yet intimate manner. He was wearing a white shirt and a black suit, completely formal, without any fancy touches, except that his tie was the same color as Jingrong's. He also folded an exquisite champagne-colored square scarf over his suit and put it in his pocket, which complemented Jingrong's outfit.
Zhang Zhiyao wanted to say something, but Quan Zhilong noticed the group of people who had just entered the door and pulled Jingrong. Jingrong also looked over and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Zhiyao and his sister: "Uncle Zheng and his family are here. I'll go greet them first. You guys can do whatever you want."
Zhang Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and she glanced back, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Zheng Yunhao. Her brother nodded and said, "You guys go and do your work, don't worry about us."
Jingrong and Quan Zhilong walked towards the Zheng family of three. Mrs. Zheng asked Zheng Yunhao in his ear: "Do you know the girl who looked at you just now?"
Zheng Yunhao nodded, and Mrs. Zheng asked again: "Whose family is she from? Is she engaged?" Mrs. Zheng knew that the young girls who came to participate in the Xue family's annual meeting, except for some of the president's female companions, should be some family children. And Zhang Zhiyao's noble appearance with flying eyebrows must be the pride that was raised with money.
Zheng Yunhao was a little helpless. "How do I know if she's engaged? But her last name is Zhang, and she and Jingrong are very good friends. They grew up together."
As the Zheng family mother and son were talking, Jing Rong and Quan Zhilong had already come over to greet them. Amidst the seemingly insignificant attention of the crowd, Zheng's father looked at Jing Rong like an ordinary elder, and the satisfaction in his eyes was obvious: "I heard that you were the one who organized this annual meeting, and it was very well organized! Your father should be relieved."
"Thanks for the compliment, uncle." Jing Rong responded with a proper smile and greeted the Zheng family mother and son. Mrs. Zheng had been coaxed by Zheng Yunhao recently and was smiling all day long. She no longer had many opinions about Jing Rong. She just glanced at Jing Rong's belly and asked, "When are you planning to get married? Why haven't you given any news yet?"
Jing Rong replied, "The date has been set. It's the middle of next month. I hope my uncle and aunt will be able to show up."
Father Zheng nodded: "Of course, of course."
Jung Yunho raised an eyebrow: "There's only one month left. When are you planning to announce it?"
"The invitations for this evening have been prepared and will be delivered to you later."
Father Zheng nodded: "You are very thoughtful."
The appearance of the Zheng family of three was noticed not only by Jing Rong and his friends, but by everyone in the audience. This was also the reason why Jing Rong invited them to attend. Zheng's father was in a high position, and even if he just turned around at the annual meeting, it would be enough to make others wary for a long time. What's more, he brought his wife and son with him, and he completely regarded himself as Jing Rong's elder. Everyone present was a smart person, and they knew that although Jing Rong and Zheng Yunhao failed to get married, the relationship between the two families was not affected at all.
Those who knew some of the inside story couldn't help but sigh that Jing Rong was very capable despite her young age. As expected, the new generation pushes the old generation forward, and they also took her a little more seriously.
Estimating the time, Jing Rong and Zheng's father exchanged greetings for a while, and many people came over to say hello, of course not to Jing Rong. Jing Rong left the time and opportunity to these people, and she and Quan Zhilong continued to greet the guests.
There were many acquaintances present at the Xue Group's annual meeting. If you add up the connections of Jing Rong and Zhang Jingran, they basically have people from the business and political circles. Jing Rong also sent an invitation to President Yang. President Yang happily went there and brought a few girls with him, including CL. President Yang thought very clearly that the first Xue Group's annual meeting after Jing Rong took office would definitely not be small in scale. In her circle, any one of them would have a lot of background. It would be best if his artists could find a backer. Even if not, it would be easier for them to develop in the future if they could become familiar to everyone.
When Jingrong and G-Dragon personally handed the wedding invitation to President Yang, President Yang couldn't help but be shocked. Although he understood a little when he saw G-Dragon standing next to Jingrong as the host and greeting the guests today, he didn't expect them to get married so soon, next month. From now on, G-Dragon and Big Bang will probably be out of his control!
President Yang looked at the bright red wedding invitation with an ambiguous look in his eyes. When he looked up again, he was wearing a sincere smile. "Congratulations!"
Jing Rong smiled brightly: "President Yang, please do me a favor when the time comes."
"That's natural."
CL, who was standing next to President Yang, looked at the wedding invitation and silently glanced at Captain Quan. Although she was happy that her senior had finally achieved his goal, she actually wanted to cover her face. She actually succeeded in forcing the marriage. There were also advantages to being rough. At least it was simple and crude, and she could get to the point right away. Then again, she hadn't yet congratulated Captain Quan, you finally got what you wanted 233333
Continuing to imagine the scene where Captain Quan forced marriage by jumping off a building, CL was already laughing like crazy in her heart and was completely unable to feel the complicated and unspeakable emotions of her own president.
Well, telepathy is just a legend after all.
Everything about this annual meeting was within Jingrong's expectations. The only thing that was unexpected was Madam Zheng's attitude. She had originally thought that Madam Zheng would never give her a hard time, and she had actually prepared herself mentally. However, when she had some free time, Madam Zheng pulled her aside with a loving look and asked her about her life. As she was asking questions, her attention shifted to Zhang Zhiyao, who was chatting with Big Bang's Jung Yunho and others. "I heard Yunho say that's a girl from the Zhang family?"
Jing Rong followed her gaze and nodded: "Yes, her brother is the vice president of Zhang Group, and Vice President Zhang of our company is her cousin." Although Jing Rong didn't know what Mrs. Zheng's intention was, he also gave a brief introduction of Zhang Zhiyao's identity.
Mrs. Zheng's smile became even more kind: "Yunhao just told me that I heard you two grew up together?"
"Yes." Jing Rong raised an eyebrow. "Did Yunhaoxi mention Zhiyao to Auntie?"
Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile. She was very satisfied with Zhang Zhiyao. First, he had a good status. Second, although Jingrong failed to get together with Zheng Yunhao, which made her a little angry, she trusted Jingrong's character in all aspects after getting to know him, otherwise she would not have agreed to them being together so easily. So Mrs. Zheng also believed that Jingrong's friend should not be too bad. Of course, there were actually many girls who were well-matched and to her liking. Mrs. Zheng liked Zhang Zhiyao because of her personality. Her son was too gentle, especially after breaking off the engagement with Jingrong. She was worried that he had lost his temper. After thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng still felt that Zhang Zhiyao's unrestrained personality should be more complementary to her son.
"I wonder if your friend is engaged or something?" Madam Zheng asked in a rather subtle way. Jing Rong understood from her expression and smiled, "Not yet. Uncle and Aunt Zhang like her too much and don't want her to get married so soon. Of course, the most important thing is that they haven't found the right one yet."
"Indeed, a girl should choose carefully when it comes to the most important things in her life."
After a few more pleasantries, Jing Rong said very considerately, "Sorry, Auntie, I have something else to do. I'm afraid I have to excuse myself. Can I let my friend take care of it for me?"
Mrs. Zheng naturally knew that this was an excuse she made up, so she said with a smile: "I know you are busy, don't worry about me if you have nothing to do."
Jing Rong smiled and asked the waiter to invite Zhang Zhiyao over. After briefly introducing them, he left room for them to express themselves freely. Quan Zhilong turned around and saw Zhang Zhiyao and Mrs. Zheng chatting happily. He felt confused and asked Jing Rong, "Why are they together?"
"Mrs. Zheng has taken a liking to her." Jing Rong said succinctly, "It all depends on their own wishes. When Mrs. Zheng asked me about it, I thought I'd just let them get to know each other on their own. Whether it works out or not doesn't matter to me."
G-Dragon nodded: "It is indeed not convenient for us to intervene. I see that Mrs. Zheng seems to be really satisfied with Zhiyaoxi, but as for the senior..." What G-Dragon was thinking was that if there was a possibility between Jung Yunho and Zhang Zhiyao, they probably wouldn't have to wait until now.
"It depends on their own luck." Jing Rong said, "But I used to think that he and Yingya would be a better match. After all, the Cui family is also in politics."
Quan Zhilong put his arm around her and said, "Alright, this is not something we can control."
The atmosphere was very good by the end of the annual meeting. After seeing off wave after wave of guests, when there were only a few people left in the hall, Zhang Zhiyao came over and pulled Jingrong into a small room next door. He asked directly, "What is the meaning of Madam Zheng today?"
Jing Rong raised his eyebrows: "Do you need to ask me this?"
Zhang Zhiyao paused before saying, "But this is too unbelievable. How could it be possible that Jung Yunho and I..."
"Why is it impossible?" Jing Rong interrupted her, saying, "You two are a perfect match, and neither of you has to shoulder the burden of the household. You're very relaxed and comfortable, which meets your life requirements. Besides, you're both single now. He's talented, and she's beautiful. One has an outgoing personality, while the other is calm. You complement each other perfectly. How can it be impossible?"
Zhang Zhiyao seemed to have not expected Jing Rong to say such a thing. He stared at her in shock for a moment before finding his voice. "No matter what, there's no chance for him and me. Please tell Madam Zheng for me!"
"Because he and I almost got together?"
Zhang Zhiyao nodded, as proud as ever: "I have always been a principled person, so I don't need to touch the man who should belong to you!"
Jing Rong glanced at her and said, "Everyone may doubt whether there is anything between him and me, but you are the one who knows the truth best."
"I didn't say how you two were doing, but his feelings for you, after all..."
"Don't tell me you still mind this?" Jing Rong smiled, "I thought you were the most free-spirited person I know."
Zhang Zhiyao was silent for a moment. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, Jingrong said, "But if you really don't like Yunhao, just tell Mrs. Zheng directly. She is open-minded and won't bother with you about such a small matter. If it's not convenient for you, I can ask her out for you, or they will also be at my wedding next month."
Zhang Zhiyao could only nod. Both Jing Rong's joke and his last words made sense. Even if he wanted to refuse, he shouldn't let Jing Rong come forward.
The media had heard about the large scale of Xue’s annual meeting, and had even mentioned it briefly in previous reports. However, they had not expected that the focus was not on the Xue’s annual meeting, but on the big news announced at the meeting: G-Dragon and Jing Rong were getting married, and on the 15th of next month, the wedding invitations had even been sent out!
Although G-Dragon has been hinting at a wedding, he's never been specific, so everyone assumed he just had the intention and the plan. Who knew they'd get married so quickly, a month later? Did he deliberately wait until now to surprise them? Well, they were indeed very surprised!
At this time, the competition is all about the news network. One media outlet announced the news early the next morning, and then the newspapers were sold out. Other media outlets followed suit and reported the news, but they could only pick up the broth.
The male god is finally getting married. Of course, the VIPs have the most complicated feelings. They feel a little sad in their hearts, but look happy on the surface. Most people are still very happy that Captain Quan has finally achieved his goal and will be holding hands with Jingrong until old age.
