More than a month later, Jiang Yanxin unexpectedly received a call from Song Jingshan. Song Jingshan did not say what the specific matter was on the phone, but just asked her to come over.
Song Jingshan was urging her to do something urgent. Jiang Yanxin was afraid that it was something tricky and that she wouldn't be able to handle it. After thinking it over, she called Cheng Shangyu.
She was worried that she would disturb Cheng Shangyu's work, and she was very uneasy, afraid that Cheng Shangyu would find her troublesome.
Unexpectedly, after Cheng Shangyu heard her whole story, he immediately put down his work and came to pick her up, saying that he wanted to accompany her.
With the person she loves by her side, and he is so reliable, Jiang Yanxin felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and was no longer panicked.
I talked and laughed with him along the way, and discussed which restaurant to go to for dinner in the evening.
There were only the two of them in the ascending elevator. Jiang Yanxin looked at the rising figures, biting her lip anxiously. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Cheng Shangyu: "Shangyu, has Dai Li not been back to your house recently?"
There are two reasons why Jiang Yanxin doesn't like Dai Li. The first is because Dai Li stood between her and Cheng Shangyu and destroyed their relationship. The second is because Dai Li deliberately broke e-ne's helmet, and she and Cheng Shangyu might need to clean up the mess.
Even though Dai Li had moved out of the Cheng family, the historical issues she left behind continued to cause them trouble.
If one day she suddenly decides to move back, that would be a real bubbling pain in the throat.
Cheng Shangyu seemed to have thought of something and sneered, "No, but don't worry, even if she comes back one day, she probably won't bother me again."
Jiang Yanxin looked at him in confusion.
Thinking that Jiang Yanxin didn't know about the relationship between Dai Li and Guan Honghou, Cheng Shangyu smiled mysteriously and whispered in her ear.
"She's already found a new employer. You know Mr. Guan from Yuanfa Group, right?"
Jiang Yanxin nodded repeatedly. How could she not have heard of such a big name as Yuanfa Group? Her last movie premiered at Yuanfa Cinema. The large riverside flat in the city center that she was saving money to buy also belonged to Yuanfa Group. Moreover, she was competing with three other popular young actresses for the qualification to endorse Yuanfa's subsidiary products.
"She's finally hooked up with Mr. Guan from Yuanfa Group, and she won't let him go easily."
Jiang Yanxin covered her mouth in surprise: "Mr. Guan from Yuanfa Group? Mr. Guan is already that old."
She had seen Guan Honghou in person. He looked to be almost fifty years old and a little fat.
Although his facial features look regular and he is not bald, he is considered to be quite impressive among his peers.
But Jiang Yanxin felt uncomfortable just thinking about being with someone who could be his father, and he didn't know how Dai Li could sleep.
Cheng Shangyu laughed mockingly and said, "Isn't this kind of phenomenon rare in the circle?"
Jiang Yan thought about it and agreed. In her previous production, the leading actress had a godfather who was bald and had yellow teeth, and his appearance was not even as good as Guan Honghou's.
"Is Mr. Guan serious about being with him, or is this just a casual play?"
Cheng Shangyu grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently, smiling indifferently: "Whether it's serious or just for fun, as long as she doesn't have time to disturb us, it's fine."
Jiang Yanxin lowered her head shyly and smiled, then looked up at Cheng Shangyu.
"It seems that Mr. Guan has another son. I heard he's quite a character. She must have had a hard time."
Of course Cheng Shangyu had also heard about these things. Guan Honghou's son couldn't even take care of himself.
With a hint of a smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry about her affairs. Just watch the show when it happens."
The two smiled at each other, and then the elevator door slowly opened.
When I looked up, I was met with two smiling faces.
Neither Cheng Shangyu nor Jiang Yanxin expected to run into Dai Li here.
Jiang Yanxin unconsciously pressed herself close to Cheng Shangyu, tightly grasping his arm, fearing that Dai Li would go crazy and run over, push her away, and snatch Cheng Shangyu away.
Dai Li did this when she was in school. Whenever she saw her and Cheng Shangyu talking, she would squeeze in and declare her sovereignty.
Cheng Shangyu felt Jiang Yanxin's nervousness. In front of Dai Li, he generously held Jiang Yanxin's hand and proved his position with practical actions.
He was also warning Dai Li not to act rashly, as he only cared about Jiang Yanxin's feelings.
Sister Tu's heart was suddenly lifted up. She recognized Cheng Shangyu and knew that he was the person Dai Dai had liked before.
Although Dai Dai is concentrating on her career now and hasn't been crazy about love for a long time, but now that we meet on a narrow road, don't stimulate her all of a sudden.
Dai Li, who was the focus of attention, did nothing. She took a small step to the side to make way for the two people in the elevator.
Then he frowned impatiently and urged, "Aren't you going to come out?"
"Why are you here?" Cheng Shangyu asked subconsciously.
He had a psychological trauma because Dai Li always appeared suddenly, and he was afraid that she came here on purpose to block him.
In the end, she didn't even look at him and said speechlessly: "What's it to you?"
Cheng Shangyu was choked speechless, and an inexplicable regret surged in his heart.
His face darkened as he held Jiang Yanxin's hand tightly and led her out of the elevator.
He was so focused on his anger that he forgot the severity of his men's injuries. He only hurriedly let go of his hands when he heard Jiang Yanxin's cry of pain.
Cheng Shangyu asked Jiang Yanxin with concern if she felt any pain. Jiang Yanxin bit her lip and shook her head slightly with a smile.
In public, a heartwarming drama of love and affection was staged.
Next to them, Dai Li brushed past them and walked straight into the elevator car without even giving them a spare glance.
It was as if they were two insignificant strangers.
Jiang Yanxin and Cheng Shangyu looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yanxin suddenly realized that it seemed that Dai Li and Guan Honghou were really together, so she didn't even look at Cheng Shangyu. In the past, her eyes were always glued to Cheng Shangyu for a second.
She was ecstatic and sincerely hoped that Dai Li and Guan Honghou could stay together for a long time so that he would not disturb her and Cheng Shangyu anymore.
Precisely because there is no competition anymore, she now finds Dai Li much more pleasing to her.
Jiang Yanxin turned around and suddenly called out to Dai Li excitedly.
Dai Li was about to press the door-closing button when she heard her own name. She pressed the door-opening button next to her and looked sideways to go out.
Then she saw Jiang Yanxin clasping his hands in front of his chest, looking at her expectantly.
"I heard about you and Mr. Guan. I'm sincerely happy for you. I also hope that you can finally achieve your goal through cultivation and not let the outside voices affect you."
"I heard it?" Dai Li said with a sarcastic smile, "Did you hear it from that gossipy man next to you?"
Cheng Shangyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the gossip girl Dai Li was talking about was himself.
He was immediately furious: "Who are you calling a gossip?"
Only then did Dai Li give him a compassionate look: "Am I not right? Yes, your whole family is full of gossips."
Cheng Shangyu was so angry that his face turned blue. He snorted coldly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. If you don't do anything shameful, how can others talk about you?"
"Even if you do nothing, you can't stop some people from having dirty thoughts. They take their malicious speculations as facts, fabricate nonsense, and spread them everywhere. Everything you do is the behavior of a gossipmonger."
"You!" Cheng Shangyu suddenly realized that he could not argue with Dai Li. When did her mouth become so powerful?
He was very angry. Jiang Yanxin seemed a little embarrassed. It was all her fault. She shouldn't have started this.
Jiang Yanxin didn't want to make things worse, so she smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, it seems I misunderstood. Aren't you and Mr. Guan together?"
Sister Tu scolded him, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If you spread rumors about us, I'll find paparazzi and say you're being kept by someone and have had four or five abortions."
Sister Tu was so powerful that Jiang Yanxin was so scared that she took a step back and shuddered.
How could Cheng Shangyu bear to see his people being bullied? He immediately stood in front of Jiang Yanxin.
"If you and Mr. Guan are innocent and there's nothing wrong with you, then why did you go to a private club with him? He didn't even take his car himself, but sent you off first. What kind of relationship do you have with him that deserves his respect?"
Sister Tu crossed her arms and rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, of course that's our Dai Dai's ability."
Cheng Shangyu looked at Dai Li with disdain: "What ability do you have? Yes, I forgot, you have the ability to be persistent."
Hearing this, Sister Tu just wanted to laugh out loud. "You guessed wrong, it's Mr. Guan who's been pestering me. I don't know how many times he calls me every day, just to get Dai Dai to meet up."
Dai Li pulled Sister Tu, and Sister Tu finally realized that what she had just said seemed ambiguous.
"But Mr. Guan asked us to discuss serious matters. You don't need to know what it is. It's a business secret."
"Serious business?" Cheng Shangyu looked at Dai Li suspiciously. "It's not like Mr. Guan admires you and wants to cooperate with you, is it?"
Sister Tu: "Your statement is inaccurate. Mr. Guan doesn't just appreciate our Dai Dai; he admires, adores, and loves her."
Cheng Shangyu would never believe such a statement. Given Dai Li's reputation and business ability, would Guan Honghou admire her?
"Okay, then I'll wait and see what you two can accomplish together. Don't let your collaboration end up making you someone else's stepmother."
Sister Tu really wanted to spit in his face: "You are a boss after all, but you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. The young lady next to you is a stepmother, but our Dai Dai would never be a stepmother."
Jiang Yanxin was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. She shook her head at Cheng Shangyu and said that she couldn't do that.
Cheng Shangyu knew she wouldn't do that, and he bit his cheek in anger: "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."
Sister Tu laughed out loud: "Stop your nonsense again? Now you feel uncomfortable. When you spread rumors, did you ever consider the feelings of the people you spread rumors about?"
Cheng Shangyu had nothing to say and could only breathe heavily.
Dai Li wasn't as furious as Sister Tu, but she was still not happy with them. "Instead of spreading rumors about others, you should worry more about yourself. Do you think your mother would let the young lady next to you in so easily?"
In the original plot, Jiang Yanxin was bullied by Cheng's mother for a long time. In the extra story, Cheng's mother was a little more friendly to her for the sake of the child.
She hit Cheng Shangyu's sore spot. He knew very well that his mother wanted him to marry and would not easily agree to Jiang Yanxin.
Dai Li: "Sister Tu is right. Maybe when you remarry and have a baby, your mother will reluctantly let the young lady next door come in to help you take care of the child."
Jiang Yanxin was obviously frightened and looked at Cheng Shangyu eagerly, hoping that he could give her some confidence.
Cheng Shangyu pretended to be relaxed and patted the back of Jiang Yanxin's hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, I will convince my mother. I won't marry anyone else except you."
Whenever he was talking about anyone, his eyes would glance at Dai Li intentionally or unintentionally.
Dai Li was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes. Even at this time, he still thought that she cared about him.
Her time is precious, and saying one more word to them would be a waste of her life.
Dai Li didn't even want to greet them and went to close the elevator.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Wait a minute."
It was Song Jingshan who came jogging, followed by Hai Zhou who was also walking in a hurry.
Cheng Shangyu and Jiang Yanxin knew Song Jingshan, and their previous business cooperation was discussed with Song Jingshan.
Jiang Yanxin is indeed a professional. When she saw Song Jingshan coming, she immediately adjusted her state, put aside all the lovey-dovey talk, and smiled at Song Jingshan with a decent face.
Cheng Shangyu also smiled politely and extended his hand to greet Song Jingshan.
"Mr. Song, long time no see."
Unexpectedly, Song Jingshan just ignored them as if he didn't see them.
He strode to the elevator entrance, supported himself on the door frame with both hands, and said thankfully, "Miss Dai, you haven't left yet. That's great."
Dai Li: "Is there anything else?"
Song Jingshan: "I came here just to tell you that if Lao Yuan offends you, that's his business. It won't affect our cooperation. If you don't like him, I will kick him out of e-ne."
Haizhou squeezed his head out from under his armpit and said, "Yes, we can kick him out. E-ne belongs to the three of us. Lao Song and I own 64% of the shares. Lao Yuan has no right to speak."
Song Jingshan pushed Haizhou's head away, looking disgusted: "Go away, you smell stinky, be careful not to stink others."
Haizhou picked up his clothes and smelled them: "It's okay, there's not much smell."
Sister Tu covered her mouth and whispered excitedly in Dai Li's ear: "What they said seems to be true. We are about to swap identities with President Yuan."
Sister Tu saw Yuan Heng following behind, but he did not come forward and stood far away, as if he had some concerns.
Dai Li herself had only dealt with Yuan Heng twice, and had no personal grudges against him, so she was not as excited as Sister Tu.
She treats everyone the same. If the negotiations go well, they will cooperate. If not, then forget it.
"I already know what you mean. I will seriously consider it when I get back and will find time to discuss it with you in detail within a month."
Within a month? Song Jingshan and Hai Zhou couldn't wait a month.
Yuan Heng couldn't wait either.
Unable to remain alone any longer, he walked over. "I can't imagine if I've accidentally offended you before, but I've always been fair and impartial in my work. If anything has made you uncomfortable, it must have been an unintentional mistake on my part. I hope you can put aside your personal grudges and seriously consider partnering with e-ne. We're a company with great potential. If you join us, you'll definitely be no worse off than before."
Sister Tu: "What do you mean, Mr. Yuan? Join your company and work for your company? Our Dai Dai will no longer accept announcements from now on?"
Yuan Heng stopped talking.
According to him, Dai Li would never become famous anyway, and since she could write programs, she might as well change to a job that could better reflect her value.
Dai Li: "If you want to work with me, I can consider it. Forget about joining you. I like to arrange my own work and life."
"Can I go now? You've already delayed me for a long time today."
She smiled and nodded to Song Jingshan who was holding the elevator door frame.
Although Song Jingshan was unwilling, he had no choice but to stand up and let go of his hand.
As the elevator door slowly closed, Haizhou said reluctantly, "Please contact us. I'll be waiting for your call. You can call us anytime."
As bystanders, Cheng Shangyu and Jiang Yanxin were confused.
What exactly did Song Jingshan and the others mean by that? Could it be that e-ne wanted to change the spokesperson for the helmet, but Dai Li deliberately used Qiao as a pretext?
But why did they later ask her to join e-ne?
Besides, if they simply wanted her to be the spokesperson, she would be the second party. The partners of e-ne would not be so humble to a second party and beg her to be the spokesperson.
Jiang Yanxin gently pulled Cheng Shangyu: "What's going on?"
Cheng Shangyu rubbed his fingers silently, and when he saw them turn around, he greeted them one by one with a smile.
But Yuan Heng and Hai Zhou nodded coldly, and only Song Jingshan spoke to them.
"Oh, you guys are here."
His attitude towards them was in sharp contrast to that towards Dai Li.
Yuan Heng and Hai Zhou didn't have time to greet them, so Song Jingshan took them to his office.
"Excuse me for asking, is Dai Li your new spokesperson?" Cheng Shangyu asked after careful consideration.
"no."
"So I heard you said you wanted her to cooperate with you. What are you planning to cooperate on?"
Song Jingshan looked at him with a forced smile: "Mr. Cheng, it's not very nice of you to ask about this."
Cheng Shangyu quickly apologized with a smile: "No, Mr. Song, you misunderstood."
Song Jingshan still had a half-smile on his face and didn't say anything.
Cheng Shangyu: "It's like this. I've known Dai Li for a long time, and I know her best. I just think if you want to work with her, you'd better learn more about her. Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble for your work."
"What kind of person is that? I'm not that great either," Song Jingshan said, crossing his legs and leaning back on the sofa. "But what I value is strength. I think those with strong abilities can be used. Those without strength are just beautiful vases no matter how good they look. Do you think what I say makes sense?"
Jiang Yanxin's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Song Jingshan's words were suggestive.
Cheng Shangyu: "I wonder what strength Mr. Song saw in Dai Li?"
"Of course she is unique and irreplaceable. Her joining will enable e-ne to reach a higher level and defeat foreign technology giants."
Cheng Shangyu really couldn't imagine that, with just Dai Li, she could take -ne's strength to a higher level and defeat foreign technology giants?
"Can she really do that?"
"Of course, we have confirmed it ourselves." Song Jingshan thought of some details, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"By the way, didn't you just say you've known each other for a long time? You should be very familiar with each other, right?"
Cheng Shangyu was extremely reluctant to admit it, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I guess I'm quite familiar with it."
"Are you on good terms?"
Cheng Shangyu's face tightened: "It's just okay."
"It's just average. What a pity," Song Jingshan shrugged in disappointment. "I was thinking that if you two were on good terms, I'd let it go for Miss Dai's sake and not pursue the matter of Miss Jiang lending the test helmet."
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Song Jingshan smiled broadly, "Miss Jiang, our contract clearly states that helmets cannot be rented or lent out. Do you remember?"
Jiang Yanxin said anxiously: "I didn't—"
Song Jingshan raised his hand to interrupt her: "Don't be so quick to deny it. Don't underestimate our skills. We can find out who has played tricks on us."
Jiang Yanxin bit her lips, lowered her head and apologized in a whisper: "I'm sorry..."
Cheng Shangyu: "This is my fault. I gave it to my brother to play with without his permission. Yan Xin was completely unaware of it."
Jiang Yanxin shook her head, about to cry: "No, it was obviously me..."
Cheng Shangyu: "Your problem is my responsibility. Leave it to me to solve it."
Jiang Yanxin: "But..."
Song Jingshan was so sour that his whole body was covered with goose bumps, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"That's enough. I'm not interested in your romantic drama. I just want to know who will take the responsibility and pay the penalty."
Cheng Shangyu took the responsibility: "I'll do it."
Without saying anything, Song Jingshan threw the copy of the contract in front of him: "Article 6, Item 12's supplementary clause has the amount written on it, you can calculate it yourself."
Cheng Shangyu saw the number above and said nothing.
But Jiang Yan felt distressed. She couldn't bear to see her lover spend extra money on her.
Moreover, if Cheng Shangyu transfers such a large sum of money, Cheng's father will definitely know about it, and if Cheng's father knows about it, Cheng's mother will also know about it.
She didn't want to displease Cheng's parents before she even officially entered the family.
Cheng Shangyu held her hand and told her not to worry about him.
Then take out the check folder and fill in the amount on it.
Jiang Yanxin seemed to have made a decision and suddenly held down his check.
She turned to Song Jingshan and said, "Mr. Song, didn't you ask about my relationship with Dai Li? I know her very well. We used to be in the same society. If I help you convince her to agree to cooperate with you, can you really... not hold me accountable for lending the helmet to her?"
Song Jingshan raised his eyebrows with interest: "It depends on your ability."
Jiang Yanxin and Cheng Shangyu walked out of the e-ne building with their own thoughts.
Cheng Shangyu was still afraid of Dai Li's current fighting ability, and really didn't want the simple Jiang Yanxin to come into contact with her, as Jiang Yanxin would definitely suffer.
"Yan Xin, why did you promise Mr. Song to help him persuade Dai Li? You clearly know that Dai Li has always been targeting you. How could she be kind to you if you went to her?"
"But I don't want you to waste your money. Your money doesn't belong to you alone. It belongs to your Cheng family. You are willing to pay me, but the Cheng family will definitely not agree."
"I can still manage this little bit of money."
"But I won't let you waste your money."
"It's not unfair for you."
"That won't work either. There's a way to do it for free, so why do we have to pay such a large sum of money?"
"Then how are you going to convince her?"
"At worst, I can apologize to her. If she has any other requests, I'll try my best to satisfy her."
Cheng Shangyu asked with a dark face, "What if she wants you to give me up?"
Jiang Yanxin hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest: "Then I won't give in either. At worst, I can compensate Mr. Song, but you and I will never give in."
Cheng Shangyu rarely smiled.
He brushed Jiang Yanxin's hair with his palm and said, "Forget it, don't go to her alone. You will definitely suffer if you go to her. Let me talk."
Jiang Yanxin nervously grabbed the clothes on his chest and looked up at him, wanting to say something but hesitant.
She didn't want Cheng Shangyu to meet Dai Li alone.
Cheng Shangyu comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I won't see her alone. My old man will be back in a few days. He likes her the most and will definitely ask her to come back. She will also give him face for such a small matter."
Jiang Yan nodded with relief and hugged him tighter.
