Jiang Nuan couldn’t help but size up the other party.
Unbeknownst to her, while she was sizing up the other party, Gu Qing was also looking at her.
Gu Qing was much more straightforward in her observation; she didn’t look at Jiang Nuan’s appearance but directly scanned from head to toe for anything particularly expensive. Not seeing any, she curled her red lips into a lazy attitude.
"Hello, I’m Gu Qing."
She didn’t even bother to extend her hand and straightforwardly said, "No need for coffee, I’m in a rush. I’ll be direct, Miss Jiang, I need anbliy to do my face for an event tonight, but the staff told me you reserved them first. I’m in a hurry; can you give them up to me?"
Jiang Nuan raised an eyebrow, surprised by this attitude. She always believed in the principle, ’You give me three parts respect, I’ll give you five parts in return, but if you push too far, then I won’t hold back.’ Instantly retracting her hand, she crossed her legs, leisurely replied, "Miss Gu is so busy she doesn’t even have time to sit down for a cup of coffee?"
How annoying!
Gu Qing’s face was tense; she wasn’t pleased, "After I get my face done, I still have to do my hair and try on evening dresses. I’m really pressed for time. Can we do it next time? Next time, I’ll treat you to coffee; let’s just forget it this time."
Jiang Nuan said, "I don’t like waiting for next time. Didn’t the staff explain clearly? I only have one condition for giving up my slot: you sit down and have coffee with me. If you don’t have the time, I won’t force you but if you want the slot, you’ll have to wait."
Gu Qing couldn’t believe someone was speaking to her so directly, showing an expression of surprise, "Don’t you know who I am?"
This person isn’t her fan?
Jiang Nuan hesitated at the question, flicked her hair, looked her up and down, "Aren’t you Gu Qing, Miss Gu?"
Gu Qing: "..."
She thought the other party was a fan and insisted on having coffee with her. Seeing this situation, this woman knows her but doesn’t seem like a typical fan. She couldn’t gauge what Jiang Nuan was really about, so she sat down patiently and told the staff, "A glass of plain water, please."
"Alright."
She then lightly tilted her exquisite chin and looked at Jiang Nuan to explain, "I’m on a diet. My daily calorie intake is regulated. Coffee is too high in calories; I’ve quit it long ago."
Celebrities diet for appearances, Jiang Nuan understood, "No worries, drink whatever you like."
Gu Qing’s expression slightly softened as she absentmindedly touched her Patek Philippe watch, her alluring eyes fixed on Jiang Nuan as she put her elbow on the coffee table, "Go ahead, what do you want from me? You must have a reason to insist on coffee with me?"
She’s surrounded by many wealthy people; there’s often a subtle connection between wealthy circles and celebrities. Occasionally, someone will ask her to bridge connections with partners, or they’ll approach her about endorsements or acting roles. She assumed Jiang Nuan was one of those people.
Jiang Nuan internally critiqued someone’s taste while maintaining a smile, "Do you know Fu Yi?"
Gu Qing’s expression slightly changed; Jiang Nuan noticed a clear hint of pride in her eyes and subtly continued, "I saw your staff show me his business card; you must know each other?"
Gu Qing flicked her hair, her red lips curled up with a hint of charm, "Yes, I do."
"Are you meeting me to ask for an introduction?"
These years, she’s been rampant and unchallenged in the circle precisely because of an untouchable backing she has.
Many wealthy people reach out to her also because they want her help connecting with Fu Yi.
