"We're missing a non-celebrity observer, but not a complete novice. How about you recommend someone, invest some money, and we split the shares 50/50?"
When Yun Xi said this, she felt as if her heart was bleeding. Who could understand? These shares were real money, and this was worse than killing her.
Jiang Lanxin immediately beamed, "Alright, alright! I'll take care of finding a non-celebrity. Weiwei really can't be too tired, or my brother will come after me if she gets too exhausted."
What an honor it would be to snatch some money from Yun Xi!
Jiang Lanxin quickly called the finance department and prepared the money; she had found her lucky charm.
She thought for a moment and said without hesitation, "Let Jiang Zhuxin be the non-celebrity observer. That girl is so bored at home, why should we all be at work while she gets to rest?"
"I think it's a good idea." Yun Xi nodded. "If it weren't for Yun Tang, that wild girl, just coming back, I would have brought her in too."
"Plan is sound, let's do it." The two exchanged a glance and quickly finalized the cooperation. "Happy cooperation!"
"It's a pleasure doing business with you."
The smile on that face looked utterly cunning. Song Shiwei blinked her clear, bright eyes, inwardly laughing her head off. [Hahahaha, even Zhuxin has to suffer this undeserved misfortune at home. How pitiful.]
[But Lanxin is right. I can't be the only one getting beaten up; I have to drag someone down with me. Zhuxin is the perfect candidate, waaaaaah.]
[Zhuxin, I'm entrusting my sister-in-law's safety to you from now on.]
Song Shiwei was thinking, Yu Xiuhua walked in excitedly, "President Song! I have a collaboration to discuss with you."
Song Shiwei:!!!
[I'm leaving! I can't stand this film crew anymore, you're all trying to work me to death.]
What? The God of Wealth is running away? How can that be?
Jiang Lanxin and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, then stood in front of Song Shiwei in unison. "President Yu, we've reached an agreement. Next time, definitely next time!"
Yu Xiuhua, unwilling to give up, asked, "Well, I just can't..."
"No." The two refused without even thinking.
Seeing that there was no chance left, Yu Xiuhua sighed, "I was even saying I'd provide you with a few guests, but now that's out of the question."
That's a clever move of feigning retreat to advance, but they're not in a hurry yet. They can take their time finding guests, but they can't have any more partners; that would be impolite.
Seeing their silence, Yu Xiuhua grew anxious. "No, aren't you all worried? Give me some feedback!"
Jiang Lanxin: "It's still early, we'll talk about the guests later."
Yun Xi smiled politely, but her words were quite firm, "Thank you President Yu, but we already have enough investors. We'll definitely do it next time."
Yu Xiuhua:...
It's heartbreaking to miss out on investing in a hugely popular variety show; it's even worse than losing money gambling.
After a round of back-and-forth sparring, President Yu left disappointed. Yu Xiuhua walked out of the room with a dejected look on her face and saw Jiang Ye clinging tightly to the door, his face full of worry.
"Jiang Ye? What are you still doing here?" Yu Xiuhua asked, looking puzzled.
[Is Jiang Ye waiting for Yun Xi?] Song Shiwei let out a scream of gossip.
[Do you have any connections? I'm so eager to know the juicy gossip! Does Jiang Ye really like Yun Xi?]
[Does Yun Xi like Jiang Ye?! I'm so anxious, I'm King Jiji!]
Song Shiwei darted back and forth, watching the drama unfold with an excited expression.
When Yun Xi saw Jiang Ye, her eyes paused for a moment, and her face flushed slightly. Hearing Song Shiwei's thoughts, she looked at Jiang Ye with some eagerness.
There's nothing shameful about her liking Jiang Ye; she's liked him since childhood. She just doesn't know if Jiang Ye likes her back.
"Huh? I came to see what happened to you guys. I'm just glad you're alright." Jiang Ye clearly felt Yun Xi's intense gaze, and his tone panicked instantly. He even subconsciously touched the back of his head.
For the first time, an expression of unease appeared on that usually unrestrained and flamboyant face.
"Jiang Ye, you didn't come to see us, did you?" Jiang Lanxin narrowed her eyes and pulled Yun Xi over. "You came to see Yun Xi, right?"
Wow, Lanxin really went all out! Does this mean these two are actually related?
How will Jiang Ye answer? And how will Yun Xi agree?
Jiang Lanxin smiled. How could it not be related? That idiot Jiang Ye probably forgot that he once stole her Xiao Wang to give to Princess Xixi.
He even gave the loving lunch his aunt had prepared to Yun Xi. While others ate chicken legs, he ate chicken skin. While others ran alongside him in PE class, he was exhausted like someone with intellectual disabilities. He would go home and brag about his meal, then go to sleep. He was always talking about being his deskmate. To put it nicely, this guy has been love-struck since he was little.
But she didn't know what happened between them afterward. This love-struck girl suddenly transferred schools and then mysteriously lost contact with Yun Xi!
The ship she shipped just ended without a trace. She remembers being sad about it for a long time during her teenage years. She really regrets it.
Yun Xi's gentle, watery eyes gazed at him quietly, as if waiting for his answer.
Jiang Ye:!
Jiang Lanxin blurted it out so bluntly; how was he supposed to respond now?
"No," Jiang Ye said, his voice trembling, "I came to see each and every one of you."
Jiang Lanxin so angry she wanted to slap this idiot on the head. Where was the spirit he had when he first started this relationship, the one that defied his family?!
Now he's acting all coy. Serves him right for being such a fool, getting completely fooled!
As soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, Yun Xi raised her head and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Jiang Ye, do you like me?"
[Damn! A direct approach! Yun Xi, you're amazing, even this deserves a thumbs up.]
