Chapter 1458: Chapter 1459: Brought a Bunch of Young Hunks Here
Rong Yan wandered around with Ai Wen, morizing the designs, departnts, and layout of Lemon Entertainnt as she went, deciding that once Bright expanded, she would find a stand-alone property with a rooftop garden modeled after Lemon’s style. Ideally, the top floor would have a swimming pool, so her staff could balance work and fitness.
What a lovely thought~
Rong Yan tallied up her finances and her lofty ambitions, silently deciding to prop her pillow a bit higher before going to sleep tonight…
Ai Wen personally showed them around the company, and by noon, it was only natural to grab a casual al together.
Even though Rong Yan disliked networking, she understood the importance of necessary social engagents. She didn’t decline and drove with Estelle to the agreed-upon location.
The restaurant Ai Wen chose was what you’d call club-level in Capital City. It was imdiately evident that Ai Wen was a regular here. As soon as the three of them arrived, a server quickly guided them to a private room.
The private room was spacious and tastefully decorated. After seating her with a smile, Ai Wen said, “Have a seat, Mr. Rong. I’ll just go say hi to the owner and be right back.”
Rong Yan nodded and casually replied, “Sure, Mr. Ai, go ahead, don’t mind .”
Ai Wen exchanged a few words with the server, then asked about the whereabouts of the club owner. After a brief exchange, he followed the server to greet them.
Once the two left, Rong Yan and Estelle were finally alone in the private room.
As soon as the door closed, Estelle couldn’t hold back. She grabbed Rong Yan’s hand and asked, “What’s up with you and that Chu Xi? Why was the tension between you two so thick earlier? I rember you stayed abroad for a few years—I never asked, which country were you in? Was it ma? What did she an by you stealing sothing? What did you take from her for her to glare at you like that?”
A man!
This matter involved the Lin Family, Chu Family, and the Li Group, as well as Lin Zhiya’s privacy, so Rong Yan couldn’t spill the details. She played dumb with a vague excuse, “Stealing dia attention?”
“?”
“You know, during the ti she returned to the country, it just so happened to coincide with Rong Weiwei’s courtroom verdict. Jiang iqi was exposing things to the press every day. Maybe she felt like I stole her headlines and got upset?” Rong Yan fabricated an entirely plausible story, leaving Estelle completely convinced.
“Just for that?”
“…Uh-huh, that’s most likely the reason.”
Estelle scanned her from head to toe with a puzzled expression. “You’re not even playing in the sa league as her. Would she really stoop so low to dislike you over such a petty thing? That’s just too overbearing. The dostic entertainnt scene isn’t ma. Sure, she might’ve been all the rage in ma, but the dostic scene has its own rules. Coming back and imdiately trying to suppress juniors like you, who are practically semi-sidelined, makes no sense. I don’t get what’s going on in her head.”
What benefit did Chu Xi get from suppressing them? Was it purely to vent her anger?
Estelle had a gut feeling that Chu Xi wasn’t a simple person. She didn’t seem childish enough to act on such immature motives. As she was pondering this, the door to the private room suddenly swung open. Wang Ying, who had earlier accompanied Chu Xi to explore the company, walked in with a few good-looking male artists.
Upon seeing Rong Yan, Wang Ying smiled and said, “Sorry for taking up your ti, Mr. Rong. I got held up earlier and ca a bit late. I called Ai Wen, and he ntioned he went to greet the club owner. Apparently, they’re old friends. He probably heard the owner was here today and went to say hi. I feel bad for leaving you and Estelle here alone.”
“No worries. Running into a friend definitely warrants saying hello. We understand.”
