Jiang Chen definitely doesn’t know this tech-styled beauty, but the gentleman who arrived later looks familiar to Jiang Chen.
Or rather, most people wouldn’t be unfamiliar with him, except for those secluded mountain villagers.
Huang Zhongshuo.
An actor, entrepreneur, and also an investor.
He has starred in many popular films and holds a high status in the entertainnt industry, earning him the nickna Master Huang.
Boss Jiang must have seen his works, but at the sa ti, he’s sure the other party doesn’t know him.
To be precise.
There is actually a connection between the two.
Because of Jin Zhuxuan.
Back then, during the recording of the variety show "Returning to the Garden," Jin Zhuxuan, a Korean artist, faced workplace bullying, being jointly ostracized by the other guests. Among them, the popular starlet Yin Dailan played a significant role in stirring things up.
At that ti.
She was also Huang Zhongshuo’s girlfriend.
The subsequent outco needs no elaboration. Once Boss Jiang found out, he issued a ban against Yin Dailan, who relied on her fa and her boyfriend’s influence. Soon after, her tax evasion was uncovered, forcing her to hide in Gangcheng. Not only was her reputation ruined, but she also narrowly escaped imprisonnt.
In the face of true power, so-called public figures are insignificant. Yin Dailan serves as yet another classic example of this truth.
She managed to settle the tax paynts and narrowly escaped punishnt, but couldn’t avoid the fate of being ruined, ending her bright career path and disappearing from the scene. And now—
Her influential boyfriend seems to have left too.
Of course.
This connection is likely forgotten by the forgetful Boss Jiang, but Huang Zhongshuo definitely rembers it for life.
However, the difference is that Jiang Chen doesn’t rember, while Huang Zhongshuo can’t recognize Boss Jiang.
Stars, movie kings, they are all humans who need to relax and enjoy. eting in Apang Palace is not bizarre, as Huang Zhongshuo is indeed a standout figure in the entertainnt world, like Yang Ni, soone who has achieved social mobility, no longer just an ordinary actor.
And tonight’s story...
At a glance, Boss Jiang could guess the general situation.
It seed like the couple had a spat, and the woman, in a fit of anger, couldn’t just walk away, so she sought so prop at the scene.
And the solitary Jiang Chen was chosen as the target.
Master Huang’s taste is pretty consistent.
The previous girlfriend, Yin Dailan, was also tech-styled.
"I don’t want to talk to you."
Boss Jiang wasn’t a native of Kyoto, and this artificial beauty probably wasn’t local either.
Her tone gave it away.
She might not even be from the North.
Who speaks like that when they’re angry?
So might call it gentle.
Others might simply call it coy.
Jiang Chen remained silent, quite unaware of his role as an extra, quietly watching the scene unfold like it was none of his business.
"Feng Ke, haven’t I treated you well enough? Let ask you again, are you leaving or not?"
Master Huang assud the dominance expected of a successful man.
Indeed.
This is what defines a man.
Beauties are a scarce resource by relative terms—the higher you climb, the more irrelevant this concept becos.
At least, with Huang Zhongshuo’s achievents, there are plenty of artificial beauties like this to choose from, if he so desires.
Seeing her boyfriend genuinely upset, the artificial beauty Feng Ke, who likely wasn’t a stranger to tantrums, visibly grew nervous.
She certainly didn’t intend to break up with her boyfriend; she just wanted more affection from him, as most won do.
Huang Zhongshuo wasn’t so ordinary guy, constantly pursued by nurous temptations. If she truly lost him, she’d regret it too late.
"Why are you being so harsh?"
Jiang Chen silently sipped his drink.
Even though his girlfriend’s tone softened significantly, Huang Zhongshuo showed no sign of relenting.
"If you genuinely feel we’re not compatible, let’s end it here."
These words left Miss Feng Ke’s face even paler. She hadn’t anticipated her doting boyfriend to be this firm.
She didn’t even dare to remain seated and quickly abandoned her pride to stand up, hurry to her boyfriend’s side, and grab his arm, "Zhong Shuo, what are you talking about? I’ve never felt we’re incompatible, I just want you to care a bit more about . From the day I was with you, I’ve felt like the happiest woman in the world."
See.
A textbook interpretation.
For couples, don’t remain silent, don’t use reverse psychology, and don’t speak in anger.
Miss Feng Ke’s actions are worthy of all won’s study.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance.
Who says sweet talk can only be used on won?
Truth be told, Boss Jiang was witnessing this kind of woman for the first ti; no wonder soone as experienced as Huang Zhongshuo was smitten by her.
Won who act coy have the best fate.
And sure enough.
A barrage of sweet nothings and Master Huang, who had been flaring with anger, couldn’t quite hold up. Although he still maintained a stern face, at least he didn’t push his girlfriend away or continue with harsh words.
Now it’s alright.
All’s well that ends well.
He didn’t even need to play the extra role.
For the couple’s reconciliation, Jiang Chen felt quite pleased too.
May there be more beauty in the world.
"Sir."
One cannot play air by not speaking; naturally, Huang Zhongshuo noticed his presence. After pacifying his girlfriend, he looked toward him.
"Sorry to disturb you."
What does magnanimity an?
No wonder he grew from a small actor to Master Huang.
Jiang Chen wasn’t one to be petty. The man ca to Apang Palace to spend ti, so he was a guest, and watching a show wasn’t a bad deal.
"It’s nothing."
He smiled indifferently, as if he didn’t recognize the celebrity film emperor at all.
"I’ll cover your expenses for tonight."
As Huang Zhongshuo finished speaking, Feng Ke, eager to please her boyfriend, imdiately said, "Zhong Shuo, how can I let you pay? I’ll do it."
It seems this artificial beauty is quite sensible and follows the rules, or maybe she just wanted to reclaim her image.
Huang Zhongshuo fell silent, not speaking further.
Boss Jiang certainly wouldn’t refuse the apology.
So Miss Feng Ke imdiately called the waiter over to settle the bill on the spot. But when she got the bill, she was dumbfounded, her eyes nearly popping out.
"Two million?!"
Indeed.
The numbers on the bill were quite astonishing.
Anywhere else, it might be considered extortion, but in Apang Palace, she dared not.
To connect with Master Huang and have a tech vibe, she must have so financial resources, but spending two million on a drink still exceeded her spending power.
"Macallan 1972, is two million really that outrageous?"
Only Master Huang had the insight, or he was hinting at his girlfriend.
It seed this was the real reason he got so angry.
What kind of place is this?
Not sowhere you can throw a tantrum at will!
Forget about the girlfriend; if he offended certain people, he could end up in trouble too.
When he first arrived, he imdiately observed the man at the table and noticed the wine.
At that mont, his heart skipped a beat.
Casually opening a Macallan 1972.
Such a person wasn’t soone he could easily offend.
So he had to buy this round, and also teach his girlfriend a lesson.
After all, the tragic example of his forr girlfriend was still fresh in his mory.
Faced with a two-million bill, Miss Feng Ke looked troubled. For normal people, this is no small amount, and her typically generous boyfriend seed unphased, ignoring her pleas.
Having boasted about paying the bill, Feng Ke found herself in a tough spot, reluctantly pulling out her card from her bag in slow motion. Suddenly realizing sothing sobering, she looked up at the indifferent man, her once lively eyes now filled with caution and fear.
Who knows if she understood her boyfriend’s intentions, but she would likely rember what a Macallan 1972 looked like from then on.
