Chapter 33: It Can’t Be the Hongmen Banquet
After Shen Congyu separated from Xue Mingrui, she didn't know that Xue Mingrui drove to find Jiang Xilin again.
When she arrived, Yuan An was just outside the office and asked her, "Why did you come here so suddenly?"
"I have something to talk to Brother Jiang about."
She was about to rush to Jiang Xilin's office when Yuan An stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me first if you have something to say."
Xue Mingrui hesitated, "I can't tell you."
"Is it about Chen Congyu?" Yuan An saw that he had guessed correctly and became even more cautious about Xue Mingrui. "Are you really going to find Brother Jiang because of her? You know the situation between them. It's normal for you to want to help her, but from Brother Jiang's perspective, it's not right."
Xue Mingrui knew, but, "Brother Jiang doesn't have to show up in person. As long as he agrees, I will handle it."
"That won't work either."
Yuan An had spent the most time with Jiang Xilin in recent years. They were friends who grew up together, and he knew the most about Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu.
He could understand Xue Mingrui's feelings, but he was not just standing from the perspective of a friend.
Yuan An pulled Xue Mingrui to an empty lounge before letting him go and saying, "You can't look for Brother Jiang. You'll make it very difficult for him. You're his friend, but you did it for Chen Congyu. I don't need to repeat how deeply Chen Congyu hurt Brother Jiang."
"But I can't just sit there and watch."
"It hasn't come to that. Be obedient. If Chen Congyu is really desperate, she will come to ask Brother Jiang for help herself. This is different from you trying to persuade Brother Jiang, do you understand?"
The original case was brought to light after much persuasion, and after finding out the details from Xue Mingrui, he persuaded the man to go back.
He knew that Xue Mingrui liked Shen Congyu very much, and Jiang Ge allowed her to continue to associate with Shen Congyu out of consideration for their friendship. She was shallow-minded, so he had to help stop her in the matter of Shen Congyu.
After sorting out the original case, he mentioned Xue Mingrui's visit when he went to report to Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin leaned back in his chair, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window with no expression on his face.
The original case finally took the initiative to say: "I have persuaded Ruirui."
“What did Chen Congyu do at the Shen family?”
"She went and smashed everything in the Shen family villa," the original case paused and said, "I guess her stepmother and brother tricked her."
As he spoke, he quietly observed Jiang Xilin's reaction.
Jiang Xilin's attitude was quite cold, which made people feel that he was in a bad mood.
He was no stranger to this look, and besides, being involved in Chen Congyu's affairs was certainly not an easy task for him.
But Jiang Xilin quickly replied: "I understand."
"That's Chen Congyu..."
"Don't worry about it. You're absolutely right about one thing," Jiang Xilin said as he began to look through the documents. His tone was indifferent, but it revealed the ease and control of someone who was in control. "If she gets really anxious, she'll come to me and beg me for help."
…
In her free time, Chen Congyu received a message from Xue Mingrui, comforting her that if she was really under too much pressure, she might as well seriously consider her previous suggestions.
Xue Mingrui: [Brother Jiang is a person who responds to soft words but not hard ones. I think that since he allows you to stay by his side, it means that he is not completely heartless towards you.]
It is normal for Xue Mingrui to think this way as he is not aware of some situations.
Whether Jiang Xilin was completely ruthless to her, Chen Congyu thought it was no longer so simple to summarize.
However, she would consider speaking well of Jiang Xilin.
Chen Congyu replied to Xue Mingrui with an emoticon, put away his phone and went into the meeting room for a meeting.
The hotel is opening a branch in another district in a few days, and someone is needed to perform live music at the cocktail party that day. It's a good job, but Chen Congyu herself doesn't really want to go.
There would be a lot of people at that kind of occasion, and Jiang Xilin would definitely be there. She was no longer used to being in the spotlight and just wanted to stay in her own little territory and live a dull life. So, except for the necessary speeches, she acted as an invisible person throughout the whole process.
The final candidate still needed to be discussed before being decided, so Chen Congyu left without any delay.
After she made a scene at the Shen family and left, Shen You didn't come to see her, but he sent her messages harassing and threatening her. This was the fifth message today.
Chen Congyu had originally been too busy to pay attention, but now that she had some free time, she replied, "I'll go again tomorrow. Hide your treasures."
Shen You started to speak harshly this time, but nothing else happened afterwards.
Chen Congyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She was thinking about inviting Jiang Xilin to her house so that she could cook. This would save money.
She was shopping in the mall when she called Jiang Xilin. She felt that it would be difficult to get Jiang Xilin to soften his attitude just for a meal.
So she wanted to buy him another gift.
However, Shen Congyu no longer knew what Jiang Xilin needed, and he might not lack anything.
She was in a dilemma, listening to the sound of waiting for the call to be connected on the phone, but Jiang Xilin didn't seem to answer her call either.
Chen Congyu was about to hang up and call back later when Jiang Xilin's voice suddenly rang out from the other end.
"What's up?"
Chen Congyu quickly gripped the phone, "Are you busy?"
She was afraid that if she disturbed his business, he would be unhappy again.
Jiang Xilin was quite impatient. "You're still asking after I've already beaten you?"
Chen Congyu said "Oh" and lowered her voice, "When are you free? I recently learned to cook your favorite dish and wanted you to try it."
Her attitude is obvious, right?
"What's so special about your cooking that you need me to taste it?"
Chen Congyu held back and said, "It's nothing special. I just want to apologize to you. My attitude has always been bad before. I've thought about it. It's my problem. I want to tell you in person."
She almost bit her tongue when she said this.
Jiang Xilin seemed to see her reluctance at the moment and asked bluntly, "Isn't this the Hongmen Banquet?"
Chen Congyu closed her eyes. "Really? I'm not. After all, you helped me last time by taking me away from Qi Ming. And since I returned to Haicheng, you've offered me a job anyway. I still hope that we won't get too awkward, and at least we can talk properly."
If there hadn't been such a bad background between them, these words would still be very convincing.
Chen Congyu thought that what he said was sincere and serious.
As for how much Jiang Xilin believed it, she didn't know, but Jiang Xilin was silent for a moment and didn't hang up the phone directly.
"I'll go to your place tomorrow at noon."
It's inhumane and sounds like giving orders.
However, Chen Congyu has already achieved the first step.
She put away her phone, regained her calm demeanor, and began choosing a gift.
There is not much money that can be allocated to Jiang Xilin, and he is not easy to cheat. It is easy to fail if you use cheap goods to cheat him.
Chen Congyu was in a dilemma.
The prices of clothes in the men's clothing store in the mall were almost all far beyond her budget. She glanced at the area where accessories were displayed and was about to pick up a scarf when the clerk next to her suddenly picked it up first.
"Excuse me, miss. This scarf has some flaws. We were about to put it away. Could you please look at something else?"
Shen Congyu thought of something and stretched out his hand, “It’s okay, let me see.”
There is a flaw. One end of the scarf seems to have been hooked.
Chen Congyu said: "I like it very much, this is it, can you give me a discount?"
