Su Ling's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the smiling Wan Qingyun.
This was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Through that smile, Su Ling seemed to see the knife hidden behind it.
She forced a smile, "Of course, this is natural."
But in reality, their new product hadn't even been manufactured yet.
The raw materials had only arrived today, and they hadn't had time to produce anything before the banquet began.
Given her previous good communication with Wan Qingyun, Su Ling wanted to take a gamble and quickly finalize the cooperation.
But Wan Qingyun's current actions clearly indicated that she had some information.
Su Ling came to Wan Qingyun's side, leaned in, and whispered, "Miss Wan, could you please wait a moment offstage? I'll go have someone prepare it right away..."
Wan Qingyun smiled, "Of course, but Miss Su, you should hurry, otherwise people might think the Su Family is trying to get something for nothing."
Su Ling forced a cheerful smile, "How could that be?"
Wan Qingyun gestured, radiating a powerful aura.
Uncle Wu was about to step forward but was pulled back by Jiang Junyi, "I'll go, I'll go!"
He was excitedly enthusiastic, overjoyed to see Wan Qingyun's strong side.
Jiang Junyi jogged onto the stage, helped Wan Qingyun down, and guided her back to their previous seats.
As they walked, he whispered in her ear, "I never realized my Qingyun could be so cool?"
Feeling the warmth of his breath on her ear, Wan Qingyun's lips curved into a smile, "Really?"
"Of course, unbelievably cool! I almost screamed out loud from below the stage, just like 'Ah---!'" Jiang Junyi exaggerated.
"How... how could it be so exaggerated?" Wan Qingyun's cheeks were slightly flushed, completely different from her demeanor on stage.
From a distance, Uncle Wu calmly took out his phone and snapped a picture of Jiang Junyi leaning in to whisper, both of them beaming.
He then turned around and quickly jotted down in his small notebook—
"Wuwuwu! I never expected Young Mistress to be so capable, Young Master really found a treasure."
"They are simply a match made in heaven, the scene is too beautiful."
"Before, I even wanted Young Master to break off the engagement; I truly deserve to die, I truly deserve to die * 1000"
By the time Jiang Junyi brought Wan Qingyun back, Uncle Wu had finished everything, his expression composed.
Just then, a man dressed in luxurious clothes, with a refined demeanor, walked towards Wan Qingyun, "Miss Wan, I wonder if I might have the honor..."
"No."
Wan Qingyun coldly interrupted him before he could finish.
"Uh..." The man froze in place, "Just a simple chat..."
"No chat."
Jiang Junyi was stifling a laugh beside her, secretly delighted.
Hehehe, that's my wife.
Do not approach!
Want to hit on her? Impossible!
The man awkwardly left; he had seen Wan Qingyun looking gentle and delicate on stage and wanted to see if there was an opportunity, but he hadn't expected Wan Qingyun offstage to be so cold.
"Qingyun, I think that guy looks pretty good, and his family seems to have some influence. Why didn't you chat with him?"
Jiang Junyi was feigning ignorance at this moment.
Wan Qingyun found it amusing; she understood Jiang Junyi's little thoughts as soon as she heard them.
This man sometimes acted like a child and needed to be coaxed occasionally.
But she didn't dislike it; in fact, she quite liked it.
"Come closer."
"Mm-hmm."
Jiang Junyi leaned in, feeling Wan Qingyun's breath like orchids, "Because I only like you."
"Aiyou! You're annoying~!"
Jiang Junyi straightened up, beaming, his body swaying uncontrollably.
Wan Qingyun smiled helplessly; this was what he wanted.
Uncle Wu, standing nearby, seemed expressionless, but his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands, clasped behind his back, had unconsciously clenched.
Soon after, Su Ling rushed over with a thin briefcase, followed by Lin Xiu.
"Excuse me, Miss Wan, please take a look at this document." Su Ling was slightly out of breath, with some sweat on her forehead.
Jiang Junyi's eyes turned cold when he saw Lin Xiu.
What was this guy doing here?
"This is?" Jiang Junyi paused, "Miss Su's male companion?"
Su Ling was startled, realizing it was the man from that day, and quickly explained, "No, no, no, this is my bodyguard."
Jiang Junyi smiled ambiguously, "Bodyguard? Miss Su, are you suggesting it's not safe here?"
"No... I just..."
Su Ling had a headache; she had only asked Lin Xiu to go exchange a braille contract, but after hearing her, Lin Xiu insisted on coming along.
His excuse was 'protection'.
But what kind of protection was needed in such an occasion?
"Miss Su, I'm afraid you misspoke, it should be an assistant, right?" Wan Qingyun spoke up to help her out.
"Right, I was a bit flustered, this is my assistant." Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiu sneered, "You, a mere subordinate, are meddling too much?"
Su Ling looked at Lin Xiu in horror.
No, buddy, do you even know who you're talking to?!
Jiang Junyi chuckled, about to speak, but Wan Qingyun preempted him, saying coldly, "If all of Miss Su's company members are like this, then I don't see the need for cooperation."
"Junyi, let's go."
Jiang Junyi crossed his arms, wearing a triumphant smile.
Look, that's my wife.
Do not approach!
"Good."
The two turned around.
Su Ling was extremely anxious, "Wait, Miss Wan!"
She turned to Lin Xiu, gritting her teeth, "Lin Xiu! Apologize!"
Lin Xiu's eyes turned cold, "Heh, apologize? Wife, you don't have to beg them like this. I can easily find you such a project."
Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun turned around again, crossing their arms in unison, entering 'spectator mode', "Wife?"
Su Ling felt like she was going crazy. Why did her family make an engagement with such an idiot?!
She took a deep breath, "I'll say it again, Lin Xiu, apologize to Miss Wan! Also, I am not your wife, please don't call me that."
Lin Xiu's expression was grim, "The engagement is in black and white, it can't be faked."
"Besides, she asked you to display the product on stage clearly because she knew something and was making things difficult for you."
"You want me to apologize to such a malicious person?"
Su Ling's expression was complex. Do I need you to say this? Isn't this just a common tactic in business?
Wan Qingyun beckoned Uncle Wu and whispered, "Uncle Wu, please clear the area."
From Su Ling's tone, she sensed that Su Ling was on the verge of breaking down, and the upcoming scene might not be very pleasant.
Uncle Wu bowed slightly, "Yes, Young Mistress."
Su Ling's voice trembled slightly, "Lin Xiu, are you really unwilling to apologize?"
Lin Xiu thought Su Ling found his words reasonable, and his expression brightened, "Of course."
Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun looked around; the guests inside were rapidly leaving.
They saw Uncle Wu walk up to a group of people, show them something, and these guests all showed shock before quickly evacuating.
Soon, only the music remained in the hall.
Uncle Wu appeared beside Wan Qingyun like a phantom, "Young Mistress, it's clear."
Jiang Junyi was surprised, "Holy cow, that fast?"
"Didn't dare to delay." Uncle Wu said indifferently.
In reality...
Who doesn't love gossip?
Su Ling's chest heaved continuously, "Lin Xiu, I am now formally informing you, I am relieving you of all your duties at Su Corporation! And I will not fulfill the engagement!"
"You! Give up that idea!"
Lin Xiu's face showed confusion, "What did you say?"
"Didn't you understand? What I mean is, you, get out of my sight!" Su Ling shouted excitedly, her eyes glistening.
The project with the Jiang Family was something she had worked hard for for a very long time.
But in Lin Xiu's eyes, it seemed to be insignificant.
Regardless of Lin Xiu's hidden identity or extraordinary abilities, he could not arbitrarily trample on her efforts.
Lin Xiu took two steps back, his face pale.
Jiang Junyi, Wan Qingyun, and Uncle Wu all covered their mouths in feigned surprise.
Wow, this is a bit explosive.
