Chapter 382: Respect the Shantui First, Respect the Person Later
In a villa in Yushuitian City, Mu Xinyi stared at the trending searches on Weibo displayed on the computer screen, shock, confusion, and disbelief twisted into a ball on his face.
What? !
Meng Anran, the Beijing diva who was kicked out of the Lu family six years ago and built her own fortune to become the chairman of a listed company six years later, is actually the talented composer "Qi Ran"?!
"This is impossible... How could it be her?" Mu Xinyi murmured in a trance.
When "Qi Ran" became popular, Meng Anran was still the eldest daughter of the Lu family. If she really had such talent, the Lu family would not have hidden it and would have spent a lot of money to build up her momentum long ago.
Could it be that...she hid her real identity just to avoid being discovered by the Lu family?
Mu Xinyi scratched his hair with a frown on his face. This was trouble.
If Meng Anran is Qi Ran, given Meng Anran's status and position, she would not be moved by any treatment or salary. How could he have the nerve to ask her to write a song?
No wonder Qi Ran, who has always been unproductive, has abnormally composed songs for Qiao Yichen one after another. It turns out that good things should be kept within the family!
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Anran went to the coffee shop alone to keep a date with Lan Yinqiu.
Lan Yinqiu had been waiting in the corner of the second floor for a long time. When she saw Meng Anran appear, she raised her hand slowly and said, "Miss An, I've heard a lot about you."
Meng Anran glanced over and saw a middle-aged beauty with lazy curly hair, wearing a low-necked halter dress and the latest embroidered shawl from the C fashion show.
The other person looked to be in her forties, but her hands were as delicate as white jade, and the diamonds on her long, pointed nails sparkled under the light. She was obviously a lady who had never touched women.
However, this "Mr. Lan" sat there with his legs crossed, looking very contented, and didn't even stand up to say hello.
The eldest lady was very dissatisfied with her attitude, and her eyes suddenly became colder.
"Since we're meeting for the first time, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Meng Anran walked over and sat down, his tone not polite.
Lan Yinqiu's lips were as red as blood, and she smiled faintly. She sighed inwardly that she was indeed a girl in her twenties, with a very hot temper. Once she felt the slightest neglect, she would start to lose her temper.
He is not mentally mature enough and is not as great as the media hypes him up to be.
It's probably just a deliberate attempt to create a "young and promising" image to attract attention to the Ruiming Group. Who knows who the real power behind the scenes is?
"Ms. An, I am Lan Yinqiu, the chairman of Chuanhe Media." She spoke slowly and calmly, with a bit of the arrogance of an elder suppressing the younger.
"So you are Mr. Lan. It's true... hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person." Meng Anran's eyes were cold and his words were meaningful, which was obviously a sarcasm.
Lan Yinqiu smiled indifferently. She didn't take the threats from a little girl seriously. "I've heard that Miss An is very talented. At the age of 23, she started from scratch and supported a large group like Ruiming. Without the support of others, it must be very tiring, right?"
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly. Was Lan Yinqiu trying to probe her with hidden meaning?
interesting.
"It's okay, but it's definitely not as leisurely as a small company like Chuanhe Media." Meng Anran replied with a smile, her eyes falling on the other person's manicure. "Look at Director Lan's manicure, it's really beautiful. Ruiming Group is very busy with business. I sign contracts and type on the keyboard every day. I can only envy them."
Lan Yinqiu's expression changed imperceptibly.
This little girl's words are so vicious. Isn't she just a puppet put in the open? Does she really think she is so noble?
She gritted her teeth, not wanting to argue with Meng Anran any longer, and got back to the point. "I asked Miss An to come here today because I wanted to talk about Qi Ran. Miss An invested in Yi Neng Records and also funded Qiao Yichen's success. It's impossible that she doesn't know Qi Ran, right?"
"Oh?" Meng Anran leaned lazily against the back of her chair, glancing over with a half-smile. "I didn't expect Director Lan to go to all the trouble to ask me out, just for a little-known composer?"
"So, Miss An knows him?" Lan Yinqiu took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "I'd like to invite Qi Ran to sign a contract with Chuanhe Media. She can set the salary and benefits. Could you please introduce me, Miss An?"
"What makes you think I would introduce you?" Meng Anran retorted mercilessly, "This is just the first time we've met. I don't have any reason or obligation to do you a favor, right?"
Lan Yinqiu's face suddenly turned pale. He didn't expect that this yellow-haired girl would be so shameless!
"Miss An, it's better to have friends than enemies, right? You're so arrogant and vicious, aren't you afraid that one day you'll turn against us?"
The relationship was finally broken. Meng Anran sneered contemptuously. It was really hard for her to act with this old witch for so long.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the table, her voice cold and unhurried, "They say 'respect the clothes first, then the person,' but ever since I arrived here, I've seen your attitude clearly. You've been sitting here for so long, and you haven't even thought of ordering me a cup of coffee. Do you disrespect me, Meng Anran, or do you look down on Ruiming Group?"
Her tone suddenly became heavier in the last sentence, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she exuded an extremely oppressive aura that was creepy.
Lan Yinqiu was shocked and was in a trance for a moment.
That's not right... How could a girl who is only 23 years old have such a terrifying aura?
Could it be that she is really the only person in charge of Ruiming Group?
"No matter how you question me or fabricate my story in your heart, I am the chairman of Ruiming Group. There are many villains in the business world who curry favor with the powerful, but there are also many examples of those who are straightforward and reckless and end up suffering tragically."
Meng Anran's eyes relaxed, but seemed even more ferocious than before.
She slowly picked up her phone and stood up, glancing down at Lan Yinqiu. "Since this is our first meeting, I won't bother with you. If you dare to talk to me like this again next time, Chuanhe Media will go bankrupt along with Yineng Records."
After giving this warning, Meng Anran left without looking back.
Lan Yinqiu frowned, still in a daze. A 23-year-old girl was actually more majestic than her, a veteran who had been in the business world for more than 20 years.
She has a sharp vision and is experienced in dealing with things, as if... she is really the founder who started from scratch and brought Ruiming Group from its inception to the top in just a few years!
Impossible! She must have borrowed the man's power!
Initially, he used the Lu family’s connections to establish Ruiming, and later he used the Qin family’s power to develop Ruiming!
She is just a little girl. Without the help of the Lu and Qin families, she knows nothing about business!
No matter what, it is unlikely to get any news about Qi Ran from Meng Anran. We must use any means to dig Fang Sheng into Chuanhe Media!
Just as I thought of this, Mu Xinyi called.
Lan Yinqiu lit a cigarette and answered the phone: "What's going on?"
"Sister Lan, you haven't checked the trending searches on Weibo yet, have you?" Mu Xinyi was surprised that Lan Yinqiu was still so calm.
But if you think about it, Lan Yinqiu sleeps until noon every day, so she probably has no idea what kind of fuss it has caused on the Internet.
He hurriedly asked, "Have you met Meng Anran? She is Qi Ran!"
"What?!" Ashes fell onto Lan Yinqiu's skirt, which was worth tens of thousands of dollars. Her eyes widened. "You said Meng Anran is Qi Ran?"
"Yeah! Weibo is going crazy!"
Lan Yinqiu's expression became dazed.
So, she had just completely offended the genius composer Qi Ran?!
