Chapter 7, Wise as Ruan Jiangxi

Flattery will not work on this prince

Mr. Zheng from Jiangling appeared somewhat stunned: "Uh..." His hand, which was holding the wine glass, became stiff, and he awkwardly retracted it, smiling in a manner that was truly insincere, "Assistant Qin really knows how to joke."

Wei Daqing could not help but reflect on the conversation between Ruan Jiangxi and Vice Director Wei that had just taken place

Song Ci did not even glance at Qin Jiang, raising his wine cup and taking another sip.

Wei Daqing was too lazy to pay her any attention, as he focused intently on the newspaper in his hands, muttering softly: "It is not you who is loved the most deeply in Jiangxi."

Ruan Jiangxi is absolutely not simple

As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, Song Ci picked up a glass of red wine, gently swirled it three times to the left, then three times to the right, before bringing it to her lips. She took a delicate sip, leaving a trace of wine's red hue on her lips, a strikingly alluring color

"Of course I know that the organizer is Xinan International," Wei Mingli raised an eyebrow, "and then?"

Ruan Jiangxi smiled gently, her beautiful eyes captivating: "The charity gala tonight is organized by Xinan International"

Ruan Jiangxi has always been an exceptional presence at Tianyu Media. She has not achieved great fame, nor does she compete or strive for attention. After signing a three-year contract, she has never caused trouble or sought the limelight, yet she always manages to make her presence known at the right moment. She has always understood that Ruan Jiangxi is a clever woman, but as for how clever she truly is, Wei Mingli has never been able to gauge Ruan Jiangxi's depths.

Not a trace can be found, hidden so deeply. Wei Mingli has been navigating the entertainment industry for over twenty years and believes there is no artist she cannot see through, except for Ruan Jiangxi, who is completely elusive. When it comes to managing expressions, who would dare to say that Ruan Jiangxi's acting is not superb? Wei Mingli chuckled: "A cunning woman"

It was neither a plea nor a negotiation; her calm tone was, however, exceptionally resolute

"Are you looking to create hype or to engage in unspoken rules?" Without waiting for Ruan Jiangxi to respond, she added, "The meaning is unclear. Let me remind you, don't go too far; Song Ci is not an ordinary person"

Ruan Jiangxi subtly turned her face away, avoiding Lu Qianyang's kiss: "It's getting late, let's arrange for the makeup artist."

May I ask

Ruan Jiangxi did not say much, only casually uttering, "Thank you"

You

Ruan Jiangxi still appeared unhurried, not resembling a negotiation, and spoke calmly: "It was Song Ci who took me out of the venue last night"

Song Ci lightly tugged at his tie, his brow furrowed in difficulty: "Let's not discuss business today." His tone clearly conveyed impatience

Xinan International Club, located in the most prosperous area of the entire H City, occupies a prime piece of real estate that is said to belong half to Xinan International. The exact wealth of Song Ci remains an unknown, but it is no secret that Xinan International monopolizes the service industry across China. The Tianchu Charity Gala is a marketing event organized by Xinan International to promote the services of its hotels.

She won't roll, she just won't roll! Lu Qianyang nudged the performance costume that Xiao Nan had just snatched from him with his foot, kicking it against Xiao Nan's calf, tilting his chin up and looking down his nose at him: "Aren't you the one who wanted to snatch this? My family in Jiangxi doesn't want it anymore, consider it a gift to you."

Wei Mingli shrugged her shoulders and said, "You have convinced me, I can allow you to replace Xiao Nan." She smiled knowingly, "Jiangxi, you are a master negotiator, you have won.

I have a question

Lu Qianyang crossed his arms and commanded in a very arrogant manner, "Sister Ling, bring all the sponsors' outfits here. My family from Jiangxi is going to walk a very grand show tonight, and these costumes cannot be taken lightly." After saying this, he proudly lifted his head, glanced sideways at Xiao Nan's pale face, and strode out of the dressing room with a sense of bravado, a truly satisfying sight.

Ruan Jiangxi got straight to the point: "I want to attend the debut show of Tianchu Charity."

In the eyes of the world, the Song Ci of Xinan International is unparalleled

Wei Mingli had also heard about last night's events, but when it comes to Song Ci, very few dared to make rash assumptions. In her view, Song Ci was a mystery, much like Ruan Jiangxi, who also kept a low profile.

Chairman Qin immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it is rare for Young Master Song to attend the banquet, so official matters should naturally be set aside for now. I will first punish myself with three cups." He then generously downed three cups.

In the dressing room, the sound of Xiao Nan's frantic and hysterical shouting echoed, filled with exasperation, something like this

None of them. Ruan Jiangxi replied simply, not wishing to say much. Her eyes were deep, quiet, and clear, revealing no trace of emotion. After slightly bowing, she took her leave, saying, "I need to prepare a bit, so I will leave first"

Chairman Qin seemed to have more to say when Chairman Zheng of Jiangling Group stepped forward: "I wonder if Mr. Song has any interest in the case of Tan Holdings?" His narrow eyes glinted with a distinctly obsequious expression

Song Ci leaned half against the chair, silent and uncommunicative, appearing somewhat indifferent

Regarding the topics of discussion, popularity, and fame, Xiao Nan is indeed more suitable than you. Wei Mingli is a businessman, rational and very pragmatic. She retorted, "Do you think you can persuade me to let you replace her?" Her tone indeed carried a hint of expectation, as she felt that Ruan Jiangxi had been too quiet for too long

"Mr. Song, have you considered the land in the southern part of the city again?" This was Qin, the director of Tianhai Property, who sported a six-month pregnant beer belly. He was currently developing a property and had already invested money, but the land he intended to work on was snatched up by Xinan International. The opportunity that was almost within reach had slipped away, and Director Qin was determined to use all his resources. "The price is determined by Xinan International, Mr. Song. How about we schedule a time to discuss this in detail?"

Ah

This red wine is truly exquisite, radiating an undeniable charm that reflects years of immersion in red wine culture. Not knowing how to appreciate wine? Qin Jiang could hardly restrain himself from biting his own tongue, harboring deep resentment towards his boss: "Song Shao, if you keep undermining the platform like this, you will end up with no friends."

I am ashamed that I cannot match Chairman Qin's drinking capacity; if I were to self-punish with three cups, I would likely become dizzy. This cup I raise in honor of Young Master Song, let it serve as an apology.

Tonight, the invited guests are all prominent figures in H City. Naturally, under the post of Xinan International, who in H City would dare to act arrogantly, especially since this year, it is rare for Mr. Song to personally attend. Who wouldn't want to make an appearance to create a favorable business impression

With Song Shao's personal presence, tonight's charity gala is naturally surrounded by beautiful women. On the stage, they compete in elegance, each more splendidly dressed than the last, each more beautiful than the other. Below the stage, business magnates from various industries are equally busy, surrounding Song Ci at the main table, each holding a glass of red wine, toasting under the guise of respect while engaging in lucrative dealings.

Lu Qianyang was in high spirits, full of energy. He immediately got up and gave a rather awkward military salute to Ruan Jiangxi, saying, "At your command!" After casting a glance at Wei Daqing, he added, "Xiao Qing, you look really handsome today." After uttering this insincere compliment, he hummed a tune that was completely out of tune and walked away

Lu Qianyang stood with his hands on his hips, laughing all the way to Ruan Jiangxi's lounge, his face beaming with joy. Upon seeing Ruan Jiangxi from a distance, he rushed over as if he had spotted a family member, grabbing Ruan Jiangxi's hand and rubbing against it vigorously: "Jiangxi, you truly love me the most deeply. I knew you couldn't bear to let anyone bully me." After saying this, he leaned in close to Ruan Jiangxi's face, ready to give a kiss.

At the banquet table, social status is always on display, and toasting is mostly a means of flattery and appeasement. However, Song Ci showed little interest, half-closing his eyes, utterly bored, and did not even spare a glance at the wine cup that was offered to him.

The situation was indeed a bit awkward, and Qin Jiang, who was beside Song Ci, stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a forced smile, "Young Master Song does not drink."
