After Jiang Yuan signed the contract in a generous manner, he chatted with Bai Yu for a few minutes about everyday things. Afterwards, Bai Yu's assistant came to pick him up and leave.
Jiang Yuan also carried the box to the place where she had arranged to meet Xia Yeming.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the waiter greeted Jiang Yuan with a warm smile and looked at her with a hint of admiration, just like the hotel manager had looked at her the day before.
The restaurant was empty.
It's obvious at a glance that this is another venue that has been booked.
"Master Jiang, this way please." The waiter led Jiang Yuan back to the previous private room and opened the door for her.
When Jiang Yuan stepped into the room, Li Chengdao, who was standing next to her, stood up abruptly from his chair as if he had been called on by the teacher in class. He put his arms together and pressed them tightly to his sides, his body tense and his face tense.
As for Xia Yeming, he was much more composed, looking at Jiang Yuan with the same warm smile as before, and said, "Master Jiang."
He single-handedly caused a power outage in the entire city of H, and also crashed the backend systems of Weibo and other major platforms, prompting the technical department to get up overnight to repair it.
Even though he doesn't surf the internet, he knows most of it.
I never expected that the Jiang Yuan I met in the alley was Master Jiang.
This is probably fate.
"Master Jiang, hello! I am Li Chengdao, the one who fought alongside you at the Yi family's old house!" Li Chengdao said nervously, afraid that Jiang Yuan would not remember him, so he added that he had fought alongside her.
Although they didn't fight side by side, he still contributed his share!
"Long time no see, you've become even more amazing." Jiang Yuan nodded to Xia Yeming in greeting, then looked at the nervous Li Chengdao beside her and praised him.
He has indeed become more capable and more energetic.
Li Chengdao scratched his head sheepishly, "Thanks to Master Jiang."
After saying that, Li Chengdao shifted his gaze, looking somewhat guilty.
When Jiang Yuan first became popular, he complained to his fans.
The reason people say she always wears a mask and doesn't dare to show her true face is because she's so ugly it's outrageous, like a toad or covered in acne, a monster.
The more arrogant he was back then, the more his face is now burning with embarrassment.
He now understood why Jiang Yuan hadn't wanted to show her true face back then.
If she were to show her true face, most people would probably only see her face and wouldn't know how to tell fortunes...
There's even a possibility that someone might make dirty jokes, especially those who have a bit of money.
That would only make the live stream a chaotic mess.
Therefore, it was actually the right choice for Jiang Yuan not to show her true face.
Thinking back to the past, Li Chengdao could only express how much he regretted it.
Master Jiang is both handsome and capable. What was he thinking back then?
Why would anyone think her live stream was scripted?
And they're smearing her?
At this moment, Li Chengdao wished he could slap himself twice.
"Master Jiang, please have a seat," Xia Yeming said.
Jiang Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Yeming and sat down.
Li Chengdao also sat down.
"I didn't expect we'd meet so early," Xia Yeming said gently.
“I also thought it was just a one-time encounter, I didn’t expect to run into you again later,” Jiang Yuan replied.
“If it weren’t for that one meeting, I probably wouldn’t have been able to contact Master Jiang by now,” Xia Yeming said.
He figured that Jiang Yuan would talk to him probably because his ID was his real name.
I had just met him, and then I saw his private messages on the platform. I must have a strong impression of his name.
"Maybe." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and answered honestly.
She clicked on the page because she saw Xia Yeming's name.
If she hadn't saved him and been deeply impressed by him, she wasn't sure if she would have clicked to check his private messages back then.
"The evil energy in the box has been cleansed, but... I'd like to ask Mr. Xia if I could buy this hairpin?"
"The price will be set by Mr. Xia."
Jiang Yuan placed the box on the table, then looked at Xia Yeming with a serious expression and asked directly.
With the money she has saved up, she should be able to buy this hairpin.
Li Chengdao glanced at the box. Now, he didn't have the same feeling as before, and he didn't see any black energy emanating from it.
It is certain that the evil energy has been cleared away.
The malevolent energy inside was so intense that even he was injured by it. Master Jiang completely cleared away the malevolent energy not long after he got the box.
Her skills truly made him feel inferior.
Looking at Jiang Yuan's serious expression, Xia Yeming glanced at the box out of the corner of his eye and a smile appeared on his lips. "To be honest, I really like this hairpin, and it's also very valuable for research."
"However, if Master Jiang likes it, this hairpin will be given to Master Jiang."
"However, the box must be kept."
Xia Yeming continued.
His assistant sent him a video showing that when Jiang Yuan was in mid-air with that strange man, she kept the box with her the whole time, and even when she encountered danger, she did not discard the box and protected it very well.
This hairpin is of great research value, but they have already studied it to a great extent.
The hairpin itself is not important; what matters is the dynasty in which the hairpin and its box originated.
Giving the hairpin to Jiang Yuan would earn her a favor.
If the box is left behind, they can continue to research and explore in this area.
Neither will interfere with the other.
Rather than him holding the hairpin, it would be more valuable to give it to someone he likes.
Moreover, the hairpin suits Jiang Yuan very well.
