Chapter 58: Hidden meaning
Gu Miaomiao frowned slightly.
"Who is she? Why would she say such a thing?"
Wu was still sobbing and quickly walked to the desk and sat down.
"She is the woman from our film and television department who was driven away by your personal order."
"I heard from people in the group that she seems to have hooked up with a very wealthy sponsor, and she's using that sponsor to threaten me."
Gu Miaomiao's eyes turned slightly, and she remembered.
She thought for a moment and spoke again, her voice calm.
"Don't worry. Go to the set as usual. If anything happens, call me first."
Wu Yiran wiped away her tears and nodded, but the worry between her brows still did not dissipate.
"Okay. But...but what if she uses some tricks in secret? What should I do?"
Gu Miaomiao rubbed her temples and leaned back in her chair, her posture lazy, but her words were very decisive.
"You should retaliate against her the way she treats you."
"In short, just protect yourself and don't suffer any losses."
After hearing this, Wu Yiran seemed to have found his backbone. He nodded vigorously and left with peace of mind.
Just as she closed the door gently, Gu Miaomiao's cell phone suddenly rang.
She paused and answered the phone.
A man's laughing voice came from the receiver, but it also had a hint of accusation.
"Boss Jiang, are you so busy right now? So busy that you don't even have time to answer my call?"
Last night, she asked Jiang Yanbai to turn his phone to silent mode, but forgot to ask him to call Wang Jingchi back.
Gu Miaomiao softened her voice, with just the right amount of flattery.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Wang? Mr. Jiang's phone accidentally fell yesterday. It's probably broken, so he didn't hear it."
She explained lightly and immediately changed the subject.
"Mr. Wang, are you calling to discuss a project related to Angel Wings?"
The laughter on the other end of the phone revealed undisguised greed.
"That's natural. Now is a good time to take advantage of this trend and design some similar styles."
Gu Miaomiao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and her voice became more heated.
"If Mr. Wang is free, you can come to our company now to discuss it in detail. Mr. Jiang happens to be here too."
"Okay, I'm ready to go."
The call ended.
Gu Miaomiao put down her phone, her eyebrows curved.
She stood up and went straight to Jiang Yanbai's office next door.
The moment I pushed the door open, what caught my eye was Gu Baozhu feeding bread to Jiang Yanbai in a somewhat intimate manner.
Gu Miaomiao looked at him expressionlessly and knocked on the door.
Gu Baozhu's feeding action froze in mid-air. She suddenly turned her head and spoke in a cold and hard tone.
"How could you be so rude to knock before you open the door?"
Gu Miaomiao ignored Gu Baozhu's malicious look, walked straight to the opposite side of Jiang Yanbai's desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.
She looked at Jiang Yanbai, her tone businesslike.
"Mr. Wang just said that he couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I invited him to the company to discuss it in detail."
"You should have time now, right?"
Jiang Yanbai's deep eyes fell on her, and no emotion could be seen.
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
"If we have time, let's meet in Conference Room 1."
Being ignored, Gu Baozhu's face turned pale and blue. She unwillingly pulled Jiang Yanbai's sleeve with a sweet voice.
"Yanbai, what contract do you want to discuss?"
"How about I go and listen together?"
As soon as the words fell, a cold female voice spoke.
"Mr. Jiang hasn't forgotten, has he?"
Gu Miaomiao's gaze was fixed on Jiang Yanbai.
"Mr. Wang personally instructed me to follow up on all future cooperation projects with Wang's Jewelry."
Every word is clear.
Gu Baozhu's face instantly turned purple.
"Why are you everywhere?"
"I heard from Yan Bai that you're just a secretary beside him! Do your duty as a secretary and don't interfere too much!"
Jiang Yan Baimei's heart skipped a beat and his head began to ache again.
He raised his hand and pressed his throbbing temple, his voice filled with impatience.
"Baozhu, you go out first."
His tone was a little colder, but when he spoke to Gu Baozhu, he deliberately slowed it down.
"Let Lin Yi arrange an office for you outside. This time it was Mr. Wang who specifically asked for it. Next time, if there are other projects, I'll let you follow up."
A promise, like a piece of candy, instantly soothed Gu Baozhu's anger.
She raised her chin proudly and glared at Gu Miaomiao provocatively.
"Okay, then I won't bother you guys with business."
She turned around and walked out gracefully.
The door was closed gently.
The last bit of warmth on Jiang Yanbai's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy frost.
"Why did you contact him privately again?"
"Do you have other intentions by coordinating projects with him so frequently?"
Gu Miaomiao raised her eyelids, and a hint of mockery appeared on her red lips.
"It's you who didn't call back, what does it have to do with me?"
Jiang Yanbai stood up straight, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward with a strong sense of oppression.
"You were the one who told me to turn off my phone yesterday."
He gritted his teeth and spoke each word clearly.
"It was you who didn't remind me to call back, and the glass of milk you gave me..."
Milk! Gu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat.
No, he must not be allowed to delve into the matter of that glass of milk.
She immediately interrupted him and urged.
"Boss Wang is almost here. Do you want him to wait for you in the conference room?"
Jiang Yanbai's eyes instantly became much clearer.
Business cooperation is the most important part of his revenge plan.
He slowly drew back and adjusted the collar of his suit.
In order to bring down the father and son of the Jiang family, he cannot make any mistakes in any project.
He swallowed his anger for the time being.
The two of them walked towards the meeting room, one in front and one behind, each with their own thoughts.
Conference Room 1.
As soon as the two sat down, the door was pushed open.
A figure walked in with a bright smile on his face.
Jiang Yanbai, who had a frosty expression a second ago, immediately put on a warm smile the moment he saw the person coming.
He stood up, took the initiative to step forward and shook Wang Jingchi's hand.
"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry."
There was just enough apology in his voice to make it seem genuine.
"My phone was broken yesterday, so I didn't receive your call."
Wang Jingchi pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his eyes behind the lenses were sharp, and he shook Jiang Yanbai's hand in return.
"Mr. Jiang, you're too serious."
His voice was gentle.
"As long as you don't deliberately ignore my calls, it's not a big deal."
There's something else behind his words.
The smile on Jiang Yanbai's face remained unchanged, but the grip on his hand increased a bit.
Wang Jingchi seemed unaware and withdrew his hand, his gaze naturally falling on Gu Miaomiao.
Gu Miaomiao made a gesture of invitation with a calm attitude.
"Boss Jiang, Boss Wang, let's sit down and talk in detail."
Wang Jingchi didn't say anything extra. He crossed his fingers on the table and got straight to the point.
"Our company is currently developing a new project and is planning to inlay gemstones on handbags."
"This way, they can be paired with our high-end accessories and sold as a set."
