Jiang Duoduo and Ye Nian chatted for a while, but didn't continue talking about the interview.
Ye Nian's hand remained on the coffee cup, her fingertips tracing the surface. After a moment of contemplation, she began to discuss serious matters with Jiang Duoduo: "Duoduo, I heard from others that an entertainment industry banquet was held on the rooftop of this hotel today? With your current popularity, weren't you invited?"
Ye Nian deliberately invited Jiang Duoduo to the Kailai Hotel; her purpose was to meet Qin Jue.
According to the 100G file Qin Xue sent her, Qin Jue will be attending a business banquet at the Kailai Hotel tonight.
The organizer is a leading company in the entertainment industry, boasting the most resources and connections. Qin Jue might not have attended other banquets, but now that the Qin Group has just entered the film industry, she is certain that Qin Jue will come.
"No." Jiang Duoduo blinked her bright black eyes at Ye Nian, completely seeing through Ye Nian's wicked scheme.
Qin Jue just got into the elevator, and according to what Ye Nian said, he was obviously going to the top floor.
It seems Ye Nian's skills have really improved a lot; he even managed to get Qin Jue's schedule.
Ye Nian wasn't surprised that Jiang Duoduo said no. "Okay, then it seems the threshold for getting in must be very high..."
He paused, then said, "But it would be great if you could participate too. Everyone there is a valuable resource. If you could participate, it would definitely be a great help to your future development in the entertainment industry."
Just as Jiang Duoduo was about to speak, He Wanqing, who was walking towards them, exclaimed with surprise and delight, "Jiang Duoduo? Is it really you?"

The top floor of the Kailai Hotel.
Jiang Duoduo and Ye Nian entered with an invitation from He Wanqing.
Ye Nian smiled brightly, "Sister Wanqing, thank you so much for taking me and Duoduo with you."
"No need to be so polite." He Wanqing, who was trying her best to please the two sisters, gave an awkward smile.
The banquet was actually not very high-profile, and it basically invited all the artists and directors who had become popular in the industry in the past six months. Jiang Duoduo had also received an invitation, but Fang Chu did not include her in the schedule.
He Wanqing became popular for a while because of "Past Life and Present Life". Now that the drama and movie have been released, the popularity has dissipated. She has disappeared from the public eye for about a month and can't get a single decent variety show or script.
As a result, it's now difficult for her to get more than 10,000 likes when she posts on Weibo.
He Wanqing gradually declined, while she watched helplessly as Jiang Duoduo, the girl who had flirted with her at the banquet, appeared on various trending search lists like a rising star...
She had long wanted to find an opportunity to please Jiang Duoduo, but she never expected that day would come so soon.
And the timing is perfect; it's the peak of Jiang Duoduo's popularity right now.
He Wanqing took the red wine from the waiter who passed by and suddenly remembered, "Niannian, I remember you and Sister Man seemed to have a disagreement last time?"
Just as things were going smoothly, Ye Nian suddenly heard Lin Man's voice and her eyes darted away. "I guess so."
While He Wanqing and Ye Nian were chatting idly, Jiang Duoduo secretly exchanged glances with Qin Jue.
Qin Jue stood in the very center of the banquet, and his gaze never left her from the moment she entered the door.
Jiang Duoduo watched him take her phone out of his pocket...
Soon, the phone she was holding vibrated.
Qin Jue: [You can't bear to part with me?]
Jiang Duoduo: [Pah! No, it's not that. Niannian wanted to come up, I couldn't stop her.]
Qin Jue: [Why should I let her bully me? Why should I just listen to her like this?]
Before coming to the Kailai Hotel, Qin Jue naturally strongly opposed Duoduo's visit to Ye Nian's place.
However, the little woman was stubborn and insisted on coming over. Afraid of upsetting her, he had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Duoduo: [She didn't bully me... I really can't explain it to you.]
Just after Jiang Duoduo sent this message, Ye Nian and He Wanqing's chat ended with them adding each other on WeChat.
In just a few words, Ye Nian already knew why He Wanqing had brought them into the banquet and why she had come downstairs to chat with them earlier. He Wanqing wanted to follow them on Weibo and wanted them to interact with her more on Weibo.
He Wanqing walked towards several well-known directors, while Ye Nian walked to Jiang Duoduo's side and whispered in confusion, "Duoduo, why is President Qin keeping looking this way?" She paused, "Could he be looking at you?"
"No! Impossible!" Jiang Duoduo denied in a panic, turning off her phone screen. "I think... I was looking at you."
Jiang Duoduo looked up and met the man's gaze squarely. She stubbornly said, "Yes, he's looking at you."
Ye Nian laughed, "Hehe... I feel the same way." After a pause, she added, "How about we go say hello?"
"This...this isn't a good idea."
"What's wrong with it?"
Qin Jue's face darkened as he watched Ye Nian drag Duo Duo over. He really wanted to know how long they would have to keep their relationship a secret from Ye Nian.
Ye Nian, holding Jiang Duoduo's hand and adjusting the hem of her dress with her other hand, walked to Qin Jue's side and whispered something to Jiang Duoduo...
The two walked up to Qin Jue, and Ye Nian smiled gently: "President Qin."
The man was aloof, and he only paid attention to her out of consideration for Duoduo, saying, "Hmm."
"Mr. Qin, you haven't contacted me for a while. Have you been very busy lately?"
"busy."
"By the way, thank you, President Qin, for standing up for Duoduo today and helping her deal with those unscrupulous media outlets."
"polite."
Ye Nian could hardly continue the conversation with Qin Jue, even though she already knew that Qin Jue was a cold and taciturn person.
She glanced at Jiang Duoduo, signaling her to hurry up and start.
Jiang Duoduo received a look from Ye Nian, and with a forced smile, she whispered without any courage, "What's there to thank him for? If he's really capable, he should help us solve our family's bankruptcy problem."
She was forced to say those words in front of the real culprit, Ye Nian insisted.
However, she finally understood why Ye Nian insisted on attending the banquet; it turned out to be about the Jiang family's bankruptcy.
"Duoduo! Don't go too far!" Ye Nian glared at Jiang Duoduo, then turned her expression to Qin Jue with a soft and weak look, "Duoduo isn't usually like this, Mr. Qin, please don't blame her."
Jiang Duoduo had mixed feelings. If Ye Nian found out that Qin Jue was the one who caused their family to go bankrupt, how would she react?
Qin Jue slightly raised his head, his thin lips parting: "You don't know what's good for you."
Ye Nian didn't expect Qin Jue to be really angry. She quickly tugged at Jiang Duoduo's sleeve, "Duoduo, quickly apologize to President Qin!"
Ye Nian never mentioned admitting her mistake.
Should she apologize? Jiang Duoduo scratched her chin. Judging from Ye Nian's thinking, she probably wanted her to play the bad guy to the end in front of Qin Jue.
"I don't!"
Jiang Duoduo thought she had figured out Ye Nian's thoughts perfectly, but then Ye Nian's face suddenly darkened...
Good heavens, shouldn't she apologize?
The young woman got scared and said, "I...I have a stomachache, I'm going to the restroom."
