Chapter 260: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 04
Wen Yang didn't expect Ji Xingyan to ask her about it on his own initiative.
She was stunned for only a moment, then immediately put on her signature sweet smile, stood up lightly, and with her slender white jade hand, she raised the wine glass and said in Ji Xingyan's direction: "Hello, Mr. Ji, it's our first meeting. My name is Wen Yang, I'd like to toast you."
Wen Yang had just taken a sip of red wine, so some of it was on her lips. The deep red color of the wine spread across her lips, making Wen Yang look even more delicate and charming.
At this moment, everyone at the table looked towards Wen Yang.
Mr. Wu, who was sitting next to Wen Yang, swallowed hard. Looking at Wen Yang's gorgeous beauty, coupled with her charming smile and longing eyes, a desire welled up in his eyes.
When Jiang Mengran saw Ji Xingyan taking the initiative to ask about Wen Yang, she secretly gritted her teeth in jealousy.
The company asked her to come to the dinner today because they heard that Ji Xingyan would also be there.
Although Ji Xingyan has only emerged in the business world in recent years, no one dares to look down on him.
Because he had just taken over the business from Ji, he completed the expansion at an extremely fast speed.
Originally, the Ji Group only focused on the financial industry, but now, due to Ji Xingyan's planning, the Ji family has also ventured into the film and television industry and the gaming industry. Today, the Ji family owns half of the shares of the largest media and film and television companies and gaming entertainment companies in the country, making it an unrivaled force.
Moreover, he is the only heir of the Ji family. There are countless people from all walks of life who want to get close to him, and naturally many people send him all kinds of women.
But Ji Xingyan has never been involved in any romantic scandals.
Because all the women who were sent to him were rejected by him directly, without leaving any room for negotiation.
Moreover, he directly terminated cooperation with those who sent women to him, and directly announced to the public that those who objectified women and treated women as objects were not worthy of being his partners.
After this news spread, no one dared to put a woman next to Ji Xingyan anymore...
But some people still refused to give up, thinking that the previous women did not suit Ji Xingyan's taste, which was why Ji Xingyan rejected them.
This is what Jiang Mengran’s agency thinks.
Although Ji Xingyan doesn't allow people to be placed around him, he doesn't say that he doesn't allow beautiful women to be arranged at events he attends.
They wanted to use Jiang Mengran to take a gamble, so they arranged for Jiang Mengran to attend the dinner today.
After all, Jiang Mengran is currently the purest of the new rising stars in the entertainment industry. Which man would refuse a pure woman?
Jiang Mengran herself thought so too, so she agreed. The capital the company found for her could only support her to play the leading female role in a TV series.
But if she could get on Ji Xingyan's good side, her future acting career would not be a problem. After all, the Ji family has countless resources. If she wants any resources or wants to cooperate with a director, it would just be a matter of Ji Xingyan's words.
But from the moment Ji Xingyan came in until now, he didn't even give her a glance, but he took the initiative to ask Wen Yang's name... Thinking of this, Jiang Mengran's hands under the table unconsciously clenched into fists.
This was the first time that Ji Xingyan took the initiative to show interest in a woman in public.
Everyone at the same table became curious, and some wondered, could it be that President Ji likes gorgeous girls like Wen Yang?
However, the next second, these people found out that they had guessed wrong.
Because after Wen Yang toasted him, Ji Xingyan just raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, then a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and then he looked away and no longer looked at Wen Yang, as if he didn't hear the toast that Wen Yang had just made.
Seeing that Wen Yangjing's wine was ignored, Jiang Mengran almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Just now she almost thought that Ji Xingyan was attracted to Wen Yang, but judging from the current situation, that shouldn't be the case.
After all, Ji Xingyan didn't even give Wen Yang the courtesy of raising his glass to show his respect, as if he didn't take Wen Yang seriously at all.
Ji Xingyan's strange attitude made Wen Yang's face stiffen for a moment.
But she quickly adjusted her expression, a smile appeared on her lips again, and then she said: "I'll drink this glass of wine first, Mr. Ji, please feel free to do as you please." After that, Wen Yang raised her head and drank the whole glass of red wine.
After drinking, Wen Yang sat back in his seat, and the corners of his mouth, which had been smiling just now, instantly returned to a straight arc.
She just heard Ji Xingyan ask her about it, and she thought that the disgust she felt when she looked at Ji Xingyan before was just an illusion.
But after the toast just now, she found that her previous feeling was not wrong!
Ji Xingyan was indeed hostile towards her!
But no matter how she searched her mind, she had no memory of the original owner having spent time with Ji Xingyan.
Furthermore, when the original owner attended this dinner, she had no contact with Ji Xingyan at all. Because she was dressed too plainly, Boss Wu arranged for her to sit at the next table... She wasn't even qualified to sit at the main table...
So where does this hostility come from?
Just as Wen Yang was thinking, Jiang Mengran's sweet voice sounded in his ears.
"Hello, Mr. Ji, I'm Jiang Mengran from Feifan Media. I've heard a lot about you, and I'd like to offer you a toast."
Because of Wen Yang's previous experience, Jiang Mengran was afraid that Ji Xingyan would not give her face, so she immediately replied: "I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want." Then she drank the red wine in her hand.
Before this, Ji Xingyan had already rejected the toasts from two people, and just when everyone thought that Ji Xingyan would continue to ignore Jiang Mengran.
In full view of everyone, Ji Xingyan raised his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it to signal before putting it down again.
Although he didn't drink it, Jiang Mengran was flattered!
After all, when Wen Yang toasted earlier, Ji Xingyan didn't even raise his glass!
Jiang Mengran sat down happily, not forgetting to give Wen Yang a victorious look.
But she did not see the frustrated expression she wanted to see on Wen Yang's face.
On the contrary, Wen Yang looked very calm, without a trace of resentment.
This made Jiang Mengran wonder for a moment. Didn’t Wen Yang see Ji Xingyan raise his glass just now?
Or is it that the expression on Wen Yang's face now is acting?
As soon as this thought came up, Jiang Mengran instantly rejected this answer in his mind.
After all, Wen Yang's acting skills are obvious to everyone in the crew.
Many times, Wen Yang couldn't control his expression well.
Especially when seeing her close contact with Lu Lianchuan in the play, Wen Yang would always unconsciously show a sad look on his face. When acting with her, he would often reveal an almost hostile look, which was also the reason why the director often shouted "Cut!"
Therefore, Jiang Mengran didn't think that Wen Yang could maintain such a natural expression after discovering the difference in Ji Xingyan's attitude.
She felt that Wen Yang must not have seen Ji Xingyan raising his glass just now, so he could keep a calm expression now.
But no matter what, she won the dinner today. As long as she finds a chance to contact President Ji privately later, maybe there will be a chance!
Thinking of this, Jiang Mengran seemed to see the female protagonists in those big directors' movies waving at her.
A hint of joy appeared between his eyebrows.
