Song Ci was taken aback. Although it seemed to be correct in theory, it actually... seemed a bit like taking advantage of someone else.
“Brother, she doesn’t necessarily have to be your sister,” Song Ci said.
Song Sifan remained silent, seemingly not wanting to hold the matter against him.
Just then, Kang Jiao walked over with a glass of wine. She greeted Song Sifan familiarly, "President Song, I just signed with Extraordinary Entertainment and I'm already in time for the year-end gala. I have to thank you, President Song."
Song Sifan said with a smile, "Miss Kang is lucky."
Kang Jiao glanced at the cat and said with a hint of surprise, "Cat, what a coincidence! We'll see each other often in the future."
The cat looked at her with little interest and asked, "Have you found the antiques that went missing from your house?"
Kang Jiao's expression changed slightly!
The five antiques that went missing from the auction house have not been found to this day! Moreover, the police have determined that the five antiques were stolen by another thief, not by the blood-red bat!
Mentioning these things reminds her of a series of events that happened in H City, which naturally makes her feel bad.
But she quickly realized that the cat was saying that on purpose!
However, Kang Jiao still tried to appear natural and said, "The police have been actively investigating, and I believe them."
The cat smiled and said, "That's good."
You'll never find it in your lifetime!
The cat was thinking.
Maomao wasn't curious at all about Kang Jiao becoming a signed artist under Extraordinary Entertainment. Anyway, the company had plenty of artists, and she didn't have time to be curious about them one by one.
Some celebrities noticed this and were already speculating about the relationship between Maomao and Song Sifan. But now that they saw the newly signed Kang Jiao there, they were incredibly jealous!
"Who exactly is her powerful backer? How come she's chatting so familiarly with President Song?"
"She's clearly just a second or third-tier celebrity, but her family has some connections. I heard she's a socialite in H City, but I don't know if that's true?"
"Haven't you guys been following the gossip? Not long ago, she competed with Cat for the presidency of the antique dealers' association, and Cat won!"
"And she was still chatting and laughing with the cat?"
"In this circle, everyone knows everyone else. Who would show their jealousy on their face?"
"It's being said in the company that Kang Jiao is the next person they're going to heavily promote."
"Really? Are you promoting her to compete with the cat?"
"Maybe so. She's very ambitious, and a lot of people in the company are trying to curry favor with her."
By then, the banquet had already begun!
The stage was brightly lit, and the host was already giving his opening remarks.
Fu Wenle looked up and finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Jin Er had logged off!
Kang Jiao sat there the whole time. Although she didn't know most of the people at the table, she blended in naturally, and no one ever tried to drive her away.
Despite attracting countless envious glances, Kang Jiao remained confident.
At this moment, someone clicked their tongue and sighed, "Young Master Song, this is not a very nice way to treat people. You didn't even save me a seat. Are you trying to kick me out?"
Upon hearing this, many people looked over and immediately stood up in unison! This seemed to be a treatment that others had never received before!
Song Sifan also stood up and said with a smile, "Young Master Mu, you're insulting me with those words. Please sit down. She's just sitting here temporarily."
Song Sifan pointed to Kang Jiao's seat; the person "temporarily sitting" there was naturally her!
Upon hearing this, and then looking at the person who came, Kang Jiao immediately stood up! She said awkwardly, "Yes, I'm just sitting here temporarily. Young Master Mu, please have a seat."
The person who came was Kino.
In Kyoto, almost everyone involved in business knows Kino. His businesses span various fields, from lunar exploration to deep-sea mining. Kino is a legend among businessmen.
Kang Jiao didn't dare to say more than a few words; she stood awkwardly to the side.
Kino glanced at Kang Jiao casually, then patted Song Sifan on the shoulder, "Young Master Song is surrounded by beauties; it seems he can't stay idle for a moment."
As he spoke, Mu Ye sat down casually, not glancing at Kang Jiao again, as if he really treated her as a hostess.
Song Sifan didn't seem angry. He said, "Young Master Mu is joking."
Kang Jiao stood behind them for a while, and finding that no one paid any attention to her, she tossed her hair and pretended to walk away casually. But only she knew how angry she was! Why wasn't Jiu Maomao a 'temporary seat'? But she was!
After Kino arrived, many CEOs tried to strike up a conversation with him.
Song Sifan and Mu Ye also had a very pleasant conversation.
Cat couldn't help but glance at that, thinking to herself, Mu Ye is quite an extraordinary person. The Mu family and the Song family have such a deep grudge, yet he can still be so calm and composed.
Just as she was about to look away, Kino suddenly glanced at her.
Whether it was unintentional or not, the cat saw Kino smile.
Cat's gaze shifted to the stage, because Tan Zheng was on stage. As the most influential artist of Extraordinary Entertainment for eight consecutive years, Tan Zheng was arranged to partner with the host for the opening.
The zither on stage was dazzling, just as countless fans imagined, androgynous and beautiful as a fairy.
After the opening ceremony ended, Tan Zheng came down from backstage and soon arrived here.
He glanced around and saw that the cat was flanked by Jiu Yunchi on its left and Jiu Shiyi on its right. He immediately thought, "This is safe! It seems we don't need him."
So, Tan Zheng sat down next to Fu Wenle as if nothing had happened, took out her phone, took a picture of the person opposite her, and sent it to Mu Jin.
Tan Zheng: [Everything is normal]
After sending the message, Tan Zheng even despised himself, wondering why his undercover work had become so strange.
Fu Wenle leaned closer and said, "Jin Er dragged me to play several games, and he seemed quite angry. What's wrong with him this time?"
Tan Zheng said, "I don't know."
Fu Wenle said, "I've been thinking for a long time, and I've come up with one! Jin Er must be jealous! We've all come to support Song Sifan tonight, so Jin Er must be unhappy."
Tan Zheng glanced at Fu Wenle immediately and said, "You fucking have a wild imagination."
Jin Er was indeed jealous, but how dare Fu Wenle! Jin Er was clearly jealous of the cat!
Fu Wenle added, "That's definitely the case."
Tan Zheng didn't speak. He glanced down at his phone; Mu Jin had sent another message: "[Keep an eye on things]."
Alright, I have a task tonight.
After a while, Song Sifan leaned forward slightly and said to Maomao, "I've already heard that you've become the team leader of the Antique Association. Please take good care of me then."
The cat glanced at him, smiled, and said, "We'll see."
Song Sifan smiled thoughtfully. Perhaps, by then, the cat wouldn't be as easy to talk to as it is now.
Tan Zheng picked up her phone again and dutifully took pictures of these details. Although she felt like she was acting like a paparazzi, none of that mattered... she just needed to get the job done.
So, in the photos Mu Jin received... separated by Jiu Yunchi, Song Sifan was still chatting and laughing with the cat?
