Jiang Yunze showed no awareness of having said the wrong thing. He turned to look at the house behind him and said with a faint smile, "If Mr. Xu has nothing else to say, then I'll go in first."
Xu Tingchuan watched as Jiang Yun pushed open the wooden fence and walked towards the house, his dark eyes growing even more somber.
Xu Tingchuan only looked away after watching him walk into the house, then turned and walked towards his car.
After Jiang Yun helped Ni Sitian catch the purse snatcher, he had someone conduct a simple investigation into Jiang Yun's background to see if Jiang Yun had any ulterior motives in approaching Ni Sitian.
The investigation revealed that Jiang Yun's background was simple and clean, even quite good.
Cheng Yun, Wu Miaoshui's mother, was his last disciple and is now a renowned painter in the art world.
Jiang Guotao, the father, ran several art galleries and was a well-known promoter of emerging artists. He passed away a few years ago.
However, Jiang Yun was already an adult when she passed away, so there were no issues such as psychological problems caused by growing up in a single-parent family.
Then, we also investigated some of Jiang Yun's other resumes. Because Jiang Yun is a celebrity, these things are easy to investigate. They can be found with a simple online search. You can easily find out what school she graduated from, when she entered the industry, and all sorts of other information.
There was absolutely no suspicion; he had originally thought that Jiang Yun was a pawn arranged by Li Rui.
However, judging from the results of various investigations, Li Rui is not capable of manipulating such a pawn.
Xu Tingchuan relaxed his brow and started the car; perhaps he really was overthinking it.
However, he also wouldn't allow Jiang Yun to have any ulterior motives towards Ni Sitian, not even the kind of liking that comes from friendship.
Xu Tingchuan drove back to the company and had his assistant, Yu, come in with him.
"How's the matter I asked you to discuss with President Tang last time going?" he asked his assistant as he took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.
Assistant Yu was surprised that Xu Tingchuan would follow up on such a trivial matter. He lowered his head and replied, "President Tang said that Jiang Yun's agent offered an eight-figure endorsement fee, and negotiations are still ongoing."
Although Jiang Yun is a popular star, he is just a rising star who has emerged in recent years and cannot be considered a top-tier popular star. The fact that he asked for an eight-figure endorsement fee is simply astonishing, as if he is certain that they will have to sign him.
Assistant Yu had heard President Tang complain about this a few times, so he couldn't help but say to Xu Tingchuan, "This price is completely disproportionate to the profits it can bring. What do you think...?"
"Give it to him." Xu Tingchuan knew what Assistant Yu was about to say and interrupted him directly.
Assistant Yu was slightly surprised, but quickly recovered and nodded in agreement.
Xu Tingchuan sat down, turned on his computer, and within ten seconds of booting up, flipped through the documents on the table, quickly scanned them, signed his name, and handed them to Assistant Yu.
Assistant Yu took the documents but did not leave; he continued to report on his work to Xu Tingchuan.
After speaking for about ten minutes, Assistant Yu handed another folder that he had been holding to Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan flipped through the photos and saw several color photos. These were suggested locations for the company's annual meeting, submitted by the public relations department, for him to make the final selection.
"A cruise ship, I suppose," Xu Tingchuan said casually after glancing at it, then closed the folder and handed it back to Assistant Yu.
After receiving the gift, Assistant Yu bowed and slowly withdrew.
Xu Tingchuan's seemingly casual choice was actually made with Ni Sitian in mind.
She seemed quite happy working on the ferry before, so as Mrs. Xu, she naturally had to attend the company's annual meeting.
Just consider it taking her out for fun.
