Lu Sijia and Jin Xinyan didn't get along well, mainly because of the previous collaboration on the project "Green Jade Case".
Originally, Jin Xinyan was completely unqualified to get involved in the project, let alone invest in it.
But since Chen Feng, the boss, permitted it, Jin Xinyan joined the "Green Jade Case" project through the back door.
If that were all, despite her poor impression of Jin Xinyan who had clearly gotten involved with Chen Feng through the back door, their relationship wouldn't have soured.
It was afterward that Jin Xinyan, as a minor investor, kept ddling in the project, and often wandered around Fengmang Film and Television Company, inquiring about company operations as if it were her own, later even clashing with Lu Sijia over finance auditing in the "Green Jade Case" crew.
The reason was Jin Xinyan suspected that the set's prop team might have taken kickbacks or intentionally overcharged for so props, and the prop team belonged to Fengmang Film and Television's production departnt directly managed by Lu Sijia.
Her suspicion of the props departnt indirectly questioned Lu Sijia as the general manager.
Later, Jin Xinyan superstitiously suspected kickbacks in the crew's material procurent staff. Not long ago she completely rejected a proposal for "Green Jade Case" publicity, and even suggested outsourcing promotion work to those professional public relations companies, essentially belittling Fengmang Film's planning and promotion departnts.
And these two departnts happen to be under the direct managent of Lu Sijia.
Lu Sijia already disliked her reputation and personality, and with Jin Xinyan's repeated offenses into her managent domain, it's no wonder she had a bad impression of her.
The two hadn't had a face-to-face argunt, but there was a clear mutual dislike between them.
From Lu Sijia's words, Jin Xinyan could sense deep malice.
Her relationship with Chen Feng, the boss of Fengmang Film and Television, if not already a known fact within the company, is at least suspected by more than half of the people.
As the general manager, Lu Sijia surely understood the relationship between Chen Feng and her.
Now, Lu Sijia deliberately talked in front of Chen Feng, clearly intending to embarrass her and drive a wedge between her and Chen Feng.
Jin Xinyan isn't foolish; she imdiately suppressed her initial tension without reacting to Lu Sijia's words or explaining anything to Chen Feng.
She completely ignored Lu Sijia's remarks and instead cheerfully greeted Chen Feng: "Brother Feng, why are you out tonight? Didn't you say you'd be staying in?"
Her manner of completely ignoring Lu Sijia made Lu Sijia's face turn slightly blue with anger, but helplessly unable to erupt, she stood awkwardly on the side.
Jin Xinyan almost has daily contact with Chen Feng, though he doesn't always respond to her.
The last ti Chen Feng replied to her was three days ago when she was in Beijing asking what he was doing, and Chen Feng said he was staying ho.
Chen Feng didn't respond to Jin Xinyan's question, but asked back: "When did you co back?"
Jin Xinyan quickly replied: "I ca back from Beijing this afternoon, and tonight Lu Lu dragged out shopping. Oh, by the way, you've t Lu Lu and Zhangbao. This is Kang Cheng, Lu Lu's cousin. I just t him today."
"Hello, everyone."
At this ti, this guy nad Kang Cheng stepped forward and greeted Chen Feng and the won on his side.
Admittedly, this guy's appearance is quite good, aged twenty-five or six, with a height of over six feet, wearing stylish black-frad glasses, dressed well, handso, upright, and with an outstanding temperant.
Out of basic courtesy, Chen Feng nodded slightly to return the greeting, saying "Hello" in return.
"Chen Feng, let introduce my brother to you. A few months ago, he just returned with an MBA degree from Oxford University in Gentleman Country. He currently serves as the assistant president for the Asia-Pacific region of a multinational corporation. Bro, this is Chen Feng, Xinyan's... friend."
Huang Xiaolu ca over, introducing her cousin to Chen Feng with a hint of pride.
"Chen Feng, nice to et you."
Kang Cheng smiled warmly, nodding at Chen Feng, then turned to Wu ngting and the other three won, also smiled and confidently greeted them: "And to the ladies, it's an honor to et you on this beautiful night."
Out of courtesy, including Wu ngting, all smiled and nodded in return.
Admittingly, Kang Cheng indeed has considerable charisma, handso and articulate, with an air of a well-educated elite expat, naturally closing the gap with won.
Among the four won on Chen Feng's side, Lin Wan obviously found him quite agreeable, even sowhat attracted to him; such outstanding n aren't sothing encountered casually in real life.
So, Lin Wan imdiately smiled and replied, "Thank you for the complint."
Kang Cheng's gaze mostly lingered on Wu ngting, followed by Sun Xiaorui, as they were the two most beautiful and enchanting among the four.
Of course, his gaze was natural, and when he looked, it didn't make people feel offended or uncomfortable, showcasing his skill.
Now seeing Lin Wan engage proactively, he was very happy and was worried about how to get to know them, and continued smiling: "I'm speaking the truth, not re flattery. Don't you all realize how beautiful and charming you are?"
Such flattering words could seem awkward from others, but from him they sounded natural and sincere, devoid of slickness.
Lin Wan, hearing this, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Is this straightforward flattering style sothing you learned abroad?"
Kang Cheng nodded earnestly and said, "You guessed it right. Abroad, besides learning professional knowledge on business managent, I also learned how to appease won. Oxford teaches this specifically as well."
Lin Wan widened her eyes slightly and asked, "Really?"
Kang Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "Of course it's... fake."
Lin Wan glared at him, and everyone present except Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Even Chen Feng had to admire this guy's skills in chatting up and talking with won; in just a short while, he'd beco familiar with their side, quickly closing the distance.
However, clearly Chen Feng was sowhat displeased.
Although Lin Wan wasn't his woman, and interacting harmoniously with others wouldn't make him jealous, the fact that the guy was chatting and laughing with won from his side felt almost like stealing his thunder.
Moreover, Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui were his won; they were so beautiful, and Chen Feng doesn't believe this guy isn't interested in them privately.
Being n, although Kang Cheng hid it well, Chen Feng could still sense this guy isn't entirely trustworthy.
"Alright. We should leave now. Hope to see each other again if there's a chance."
Chen Feng directly interrupted the seemingly friendly exchange, planning to part ways with them.
