Chapter 3, the pond master has been lured away

This woman seems to have ill intentions, catching Song Ci somewhat off guard

Xiao Nan's face turned pale: "You—"

She is different

Song Ci furrowed her brows, remaining silent, her long eyelashes lowered. The light cast a heavy shadow, enveloping her in a dim hue, her expression inscrutable.

After sending off the two esteemed guests from Xinan International, Director Chen called in several directors from the logistics team for a briefing: "Go and gather all the materials related to Ruan Jiangxi. This person might just be a valuable asset. In the future, if we invite her to the film festival, it is highly likely that Song Shao will grant a general amnesty.

He is certain that the name Ruan Jiangxi does not exist in his memory, but he is unsure why there is a sensation in his heart that feels like being pricked by a needle; it does not hurt, yet it is somewhat itchy

As he drew closer, Song Ci finally noticed the glistening in the corners of Ruan Jiangxi's eyes. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you crying?" He did not like to see her in this state; she looked much better when she was smiling.

As Song Ci approached, he could finally see the woman's features clearly. She had a small face, yet her eyes were remarkably large, resembling the water of a deep well, with faint ripples. She wore an extravagant stage makeup, but it still could not conceal her delicate features. Song Ci took a step closer and leaned slightly forward: "Do we know each other?"

Lu Qianyang used to be a gossip columnist, able to spread news far and wide with just a few words. With a few remarks, he could infuriate Xiao Nan, who glared at Lu Qianyang with a fierce expression and said, "You just wait."

It is rare to find such dedication in Song Ci

Ruan Jiangxi smiled, two charming dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth, lightly saying: "Yes, I know you. Your name is Song Ci, and you know that my name is Jiangxi. Now we are acquainted."

What is going on? Why was the opening performer changed at the last minute? Director Chen asked his assistant Xiao Liu beside him

It felt as if something had tugged at her heart, causing a slight pain. Song Ci furrowed his brows and looked at her: "Who are you?"

"So, what do you think of this film festival?" Director Chen immediately adapted to the situation and probed for insights

Who is it? Is there still a need to say? They want to soar to the branches and become a phoenix

The directors of the logistics team were astonished; a phoenix unexpectedly flew out of this sparrow's nest

Chen Dao had not finished speaking when the sound of drums on the stage suddenly ceased, and the air became still. In the distance, a woman's voice gently called out: "Song Ci"

Qin Jiang pondered for a moment: "Thanks to that young lady, there is no need to clear the venue. We will discuss the matter of the breach of contract another day"

Was that Song Shao just now

Song Shao, just three days, once the film festival concludes, I will clear the venue, Song Shao

Qin Jiang felt that the entire world had become surreal, as his boss had actually taken a woman by his side. Not only Qin Jiang, but the actors and staff present at the venue also came to their senses.

The actresses at the opening have all disappeared, and I just pulled in random people. Xiao Liu's assistant felt a bit of a prickling sensation on his scalp

The speaker is the second female lead of the play "Qinghua", who is very beautiful and usually quite arrogant

Did you not see Director Chen being so attentive? Who else but Young Master Song has such influence

"Wait until she finishes dancing before clearing the stage." After a long pause, Song Ci only said this one sentence, then turned to the side, averting her gaze from the stage

Lu Qianyang shrugged his shoulders, wearing a face that seemed to invite a beating. To compete with her was a bit too naive. Back when she was a paparazzo, that fellow Xiao Nan was still in bed with a certain director.

Only then did Qin Jiang, who was as dazed as a wooden chicken, awaken from his dream: "Turn off all the spotlights."

A cunning woman

She is unlike any other woman. It seemed as if she were talking to herself, as Song Ci stared blankly at the person on stage, her deep well-like eyes filled with scattered, chaotic stars

Qin Jiang found it hard to believe, and after glancing at the girl dancing on stage, he could not discern any extraordinary beauty. After pondering for a while, he was certain: "Young Master Song, you have issued an order that no women are allowed within a radius of one hundred miles, and there have been no exceptions. You definitely do not know her." Ever since he graduated and joined Xinan International, it had been seven years; not to mention women, even any female animal would be considered an eyesore by the great boss Song.

Xiao Nan let out a light scoff: "Just a third-rate actor, yet still able to catch Young Master Song's eye. What kind of beauties has Young Master Song not seen? Just look at Ruan Jiangxi's shabby appearance—"

Ah, how can such words sound so inhuman? Lu Qianyang could not bear to listen any longer, and kicked open the door to the lounge, folding his arms and looking at the stunned Xiao Nan with raised eyebrows: "Indeed, what kind of beauties has Young Master Song not seen? Even someone as beautiful as our Xiao Nan, Miss Xiao, is not worthy of Young Master Song's attention; he can't even be bothered to look."

How can I know if we can casually speculate about the privacy of Young Master Song?

Ruan Jiangxi squinted her eyes, tilting her head back, her autumn water-like pupils quietly gazing at Song Ci. She said, "Is the light here too dazzling?" Extending her hand, her fair fingertips appeared translucent under the light, subtly transparent. She asked Song Ci, "Can you take me away?"

Did just anyone manage to lure Young Master Song away? After Director Chen shouted this out, he realized he had misspoken. He cleared his throat a few times and then asked the enigmatic Assistant Qin, "Assistant Qin, do you think that young lady was trying to seduce Young Master Song?"

The term "seduce" requires careful consideration and weighing. However, Xiao Liu interjected, "Why do I feel that it is Young Master Song who has taken a liking to that young lady."

"Yes, yes, yes." Director Chen was overjoyed, "Quickly, host, go up and continue, continue!"

Director Chen retracted his bulging eyes: "I don't know which film crew you are trying to get familiar with."

Song Ci leaned slightly, after a long pause of contemplation, he held the woman's hand, which was very small and icy cold. She then smiled, her clear and beautiful eyes shining brightly

A clear and pure voice, slightly trembling, entwined and winding, causing Song Ci to feel a bit dazed. He gazed intently; at the bottom of the stairs, that woman in a red dance outfit walked out from the light, smiling gracefully, calling out to him: "Song Ci"

Then, Song Ci led Ruan Jiangxi out of the venue, her red dance dress trailing on the ground, covering the entire red carpet. It seemed like a premeditated scheme, with the beauty as the bait; Song Ci, unaware at first, had already fallen deeply into it.

Hmph, one really cannot tell, usually appearing aloof and indifferent, yet now seeing Young Master Song, one becomes quite flirtatious.

It is more pleasing to see when one is smiling, as Song Ci relaxed his tightly furrowed brows, leaned down, and stood beside Ruan Jiangxi, uttering just one word: "Light"

Song Ci paid no attention, rubbed his brow, and found the surroundings exceedingly noisy, feeling a slight headache.

Director Chen and Xiao Liu both looked towards Qin Jiang

How dare you

Is it different? Qin Jiang looked closely; from a distance, she appeared to be a gentle and beautiful person. Her dancing was average, and her figure was somewhat slender, yet she possessed an elegant demeanor. However, what kind of beauty has Song Shao not seen? This one before him could hardly be considered exceptional. Qin Jiang was puzzled: "What does Song Shao refer to?"

In fact, Song Ci did not know what was different about this woman; he simply had never felt so at a loss before

Lu Qianyang lazily interrupted: "In the future, when you mention my home in Jiangxi, do not forget to consider the red carpet you are stepping on. If it weren't for my home in Jiangxi, it would have to be taken apart. You should walk more steadily."

Who is that woman again

Behind him, Director Chen's voice was urgent: "Young Master Song, please reconsider."

The award ceremony is still ongoing, yet the actresses in the backstage are in complete disarray, their light makeup unable to conceal the expressions of indignation and disdain on their faces

She approached, standing two meters away on the steps, looking up at Song Ci with a serious and clear gaze: "Jiangxi." Her eyes were slightly red, "My name is Jiangxi, Ruan Jiangxi." Her voice was choked with emotion, and she blinked slightly, her vision somewhat blurred.

Qin Jiang watched the two people walking away, puzzled: "Who is that girl?"

Qin Jiang was once again taken aback: "Huh?"

Familiarity? Have you really made it to Song Ci's side? Qin Jiang propped his chin up, deep in thought
