Chapter 100 Thank you, consultant, young and promising
Jiang Tingwan naturally didn't take Song's mother's troubles to heart. She always knew her goal, to help Tingyue gain a firm foothold and get better and better. As for the twists and turns between the wealthy families, it had nothing to do with her.
What's more, all the difficult points in her words were false.
Tonight, Ou Shan invited her to attend Lanqi's celebration party.
On the surface, it was to celebrate Lan Qi's winning of the big project, but in reality, it was to let Jiang Tingwan understand the power behind Lan Qi, after all, this time it was a big project invested by the government. After all, it was really difficult for Jiang Tingwan, who had no background, to get a project of this level.
Jiang Tingwan knew this was probably a Hongmen Banquet, but she still gladly accepted the invitation. What tricks did Ou Shan want to play? She wanted to see.
Song Zhi would naturally go with her. And Lu Zhaoye had been following her closely for some reason these days, calling it "being a bodyguard." Today, she was finally able to get rid of him and attend the dinner with Song Zhi, so she could finally have some peace and quiet.
————————————————————
As the night fell on the sea, the cruise ship sailed through the waves. Standing on the deck, the dazzling night view of the port city spread out on the other side like a dreamlike painting.
On both sides of the Victoria Harbour, high-rise buildings are flashing neon lights and colorful lights are interweaving, so prosperous and charming.
However, behind the prosperity, human hearts are like the vast night ocean, deep and unfathomable.
Jiang Tingwan appeared in a white evening dress. The one-shoulder design outlined her graceful neck line. The satin fabric had a soft luster and fitted her body shape. From the chest to the waist to the hem, every inch of the curve was just right. A white gauze ribbon was worn around her neck, hanging down to her waist.
The skirt has a great drape, and the thin straps on the back cross over to boldly reveal a large, smooth and beautiful back. The fair skin looks like jade under the light, sexy yet dignified.
She raised her hand to tidy up the broken hair beside her ear, and the diamond bracelet on her wrist sparkled. When the costume designer put it on her, she was startled and remembered that it seemed to be sent by Chen Guan on a certain occasion.
This man seemed to have given her a lot of jewelry, and he especially loved diamonds.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she withdrew her thoughts.
When she raised her eyes, she met Song Zhi's gaze.
He was standing not far away, wearing a black jacquard haute couture suit with an exquisite double-breasted design, and a white shirt with a slightly open collar, revealing a hint of casualness in his calmness.
He is looking at her.
Jiang Tingwan rarely wore a white dress in front of Song Zhi. At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Tingwan in a red dress is bold yet cool, with a hint of contradiction, and the white color seems to be made for her.
The two men, one in black and the other in white, one as calm as a deep pool, the other as cold as moonlight, appeared side by side on the deck of the cruise ship, the entire audience fell silent for a second.
Immediately, whispers broke out.
"They actually came together?"
"Isn't this a slap in the face of President Ou..."
In the distance, Ou Shan's face was not looking good. Ou Ya, who was standing next to him, smiled even more deeply when she saw this.
Idiot. She sneered in her heart.
Do you have to invite Jiang Tingwan to make things difficult for yourself?
Ou Shan didn't expect Jiang Tingwan to be so ostentatious to attend the event with Song Zhi on her arm. This attitude of not leaving any room for retreat clearly showed that she didn't take him seriously. If that was the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless tonight.
He was just about to go up to Jiang Tingwan to "greet" her, but Ou Ya got in between them first, and pretended to hold Jiang Tingwan's arm affectionately, and said in a sickly sweet voice: "Mr. Jiang is so radiant today~ But you are dressed so plainly, are you afraid of stealing the limelight from others?"
Jiang Tingwan curled her red lips and responded calmly: "Miss Ou, you are joking. White is the most picky color. If you don't wear it well, it will easily look cheap."
She glanced at Ou Ya's rhinestone-studded dress meaningfully, "But Miss Ou's dress is... very special."
"Let's see how long you can keep your arrogance!" Ou Ya's face was a little annoyed, and the champagne glass was shaken violently. "I heard that Tingyue didn't even get the qualification to bid recently? It seems that Mr. Jiang's methods are just like this."
Her acting skills are getting better and better.
Jiang Tingwan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and she sighed in agreement: "Yeah, she's not as good as Miss Ou, who relies on her father's connections to thrive in the circle."
Seeing this, Song Zhi, who was standing by, remembered the last time he was plotted against by these two people. He turned around and talked to others silently, leaving the battlefield to them.
"You!" Ou Ya's face changed, and she was about to explode, but she caught a glimpse of Song Zhi's back as he turned and left silently, and suddenly she became even more arrogant: "Why, even President Song is too lazy to support you?"
As the two exchanged verbal battles, Ou Ya gradually lost the upper hand.
The ridicule scene originally planned by Ou Shan was abruptly interrupted by Ou Ya, and turned into an embarrassing situation where his own daughter was slapped in the face in public.
"That's enough!"
Ou Shan stopped him in a deep voice, and gestured to Ou Ya to leave with a gloomy face.
I haven’t acted enough yet... Ou Ya glanced at Jiang Tingwan with a reproachful look.
After Ou Ya left reluctantly, he lowered his voice and said, "Boss Jiang, I heard that Tingyue is preparing a cross-regional infrastructure project recently? What a pity..."
He smiled meaningfully, "I'm afraid Mr. Jiang's efforts on this project will be in vain."
Jiang Tingwan's eyes flickered slightly.
The scale of this project is so huge that even the Director of Finance cannot say it is certain to succeed. Where does Ou Shan get the confidence from?
Unless... there's someone behind him.
"Don't be too confident, Mr. Ou," she shook her champagne glass. "It's too naive to think you can take over the entire project just by relying on your brother-in-law's connections."
"Oh?" Ou Shan suddenly smiled confidently, "It seems that Mr. Jiang still doesn't know who the real decision maker of this project is."
He turned and walked to the corner of the banquet hall, and said respectfully to a tall figure with his back to them: "Thank you, Consultant. I would like to introduce you to a young talent, Mr. Jiang from Tingyue."
When Jiang Tingwan heard the words "Thank you, Consultant", her eyebrows jumped.
Following Ou Shan's line of sight, the man who slowly turned around was Xie Duo who said he was going to carry out a secret mission.
He was wearing a sophisticated dark grey suit today, and his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were as sharp as an eagle. When his eyes met Jiang Tingwan's, his eyes behind the lenses narrowed slightly.
He had just seen it all, why would she be here with a man? Not Lu Zhaoye, nor that Wen Nian, but a strange man!
Jiang Tingwan almost couldn't control the smile.
The trump card that Ou Shan played was Xie Duo? This was the "confidential mission" he mentioned? Coming here to be an investment consultant?
Xie Duo held out his hand without changing his expression: "I have heard of Mr. Jiang's name for a long time."
Jiang Tingwan shook hands with him gracefully and smiled politely.
No one knew that her fingertips gently scratched his palm. Jiang Tingwan replied with a smile: "Thank you, Consultant... You are really young and promising."
Xie Duo felt her little movement and was about to lose control and grab her soft and tender white fingers, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
Ou Shan didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the two, and added contemptuously: "Advisor Xie is the project evaluation team leader specially appointed by the central government. Miss Jiang should get to know him well."
He had met Xie Duo before, and they had negotiated very harmoniously. Xie Duo's first attendance was at his banquet. Who could not see the meaning behind this?
But Jiang Tingwan couldn't continue the drama when she saw Xie Duo's serious look. Who would believe that a major general of science and technology could become an investment consultant? I'm afraid they were going to perform a Mission Impossible with him.
