Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Everything Goes Smoothly

Anny had cooperated with Bian Yue, only grumbling softly after getting in the car, "Xinghe really throws its weight around—just sending a business manager to meet us!"

Bian Yue, however, calmly looked out the window, her voice tranquil and light, "Xinghe is not short of good content, our ’Shengshi Yan’ didn’t even reach their 4S standard. It’s within reason that they would send a business manager to meet us."

"I know, it’s just unsettling. President Bian, you’ve put so much into this project." Anny looked at Binyue with concern, whispering, "Look at you, you’ve even developed dark circles under your eyes."

"To have ’Shengshi Yan’ be featured on Xinghe is already an unexpected joy; I feel that everything is worth it." Bian Yue smiled at Anny reassuringly, "The future is long. We must take it step by step, steady and firm—don’t rush, it will get better."

Anny looked at Bian Yue amusedly, unable to help but say, "Are you really not anxious?"

"Not anxious. Moving slow is the way to stay steady."

"That’s true. I also heard some news today." Anny leaned back in her seat, triumph in her lift of an eyebrow, "’Beijixing’ got sold too, but the platform is Qingrong Video, whose daily active users are only a third of ours."

Bian Yue was momentarily surprised, looking out the window, "Qingrong, really?"

"Indeed, now I’m hoping our show can be aired soon, to see what ’Beijixing’ can turn into."

Bian Yue remained silent, with a slight furrow forming between her eyebrows.

She had thought, given Li Sihe’s emphasis on Su Youxue, that under no circumstances would the platform for ’Beijixing’ be much worse than Xinghe. But now, it seemed there was a laissez-faire attitude.

What, then, was the point of all that previous fuss?

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Xinghe, Huang Xin watched Bian Yue leave and was about to turn back when he suddenly heard a gentle and soft female voice from behind.

"Is that Huang Xin?"

Huang Xin turned and saw Zhuang Jie Ning, elegant and with astonishing presence.

Huang Xin’s eyes brightened immediately, he approached smiling, "Miss Zhuang, you’re here."

Zhuang Jie Ning nodded reservedly with a smile, her voice steady, "Did you give Director Lu a heads-up about my visit?"

"Of course, Director Lu has been waiting for you," Huang Xin extended his hand to Zhuang Jie Ning, courteously saying, "Please follow me."

Zhuang Jie Ning gave a nod, her posture carrying an air of subdued pride.

They entered the elevator one after another. Huang Xin carefully observed Zhuang Jie Ning and sighed inwardly, affirming her status as a lady of high society—her aura was immensely imposing.

"I heard that ’Shengshi Yan’ was officially bought by you?"

"Yes, our chairman spent a large sum at the bid, planning to feature it in the summer slot." Huang Xin said with a smile, "You’re the chairman’s cousin, so I won’t hide these matters from you."

"My cousin has been abroad these years, we hardly had opportunities to meet, but my father owes his father a life-saving favor. Although we’re distant relatives, we’re very close." Zhuang Jie Ning mentioned this, then turned her face to Huang Xin with a soft tone, "You understand what I’m getting at, don’t you?"

Huang Xin felt a chill inside, hastily responding, "Miss Zhuang, of course I understand your meaning. Rest assured, if there’s any news about Honey, I will inform you."

Zhuang Jie Ning smiled in satisfaction.

As the elevator doors opened, Zhuang Jie Ning stepped out briskly.

Lu Feng had been sitting in his office for a long time and was surprised to see Zhuang Jie Ning arrive.

"Jie Ning!"

"Uncle Lu." Zhuang Jie Ning smiled, "It’s been a long time."

Lu Feng was an elegantly composed middle-aged man; he had been managing Xiangjiang operations for the Lu Family for many years, and the head of the Lu Family relied heavily on him.

As they sat down, Huang Xin tactfully closed the door for the two.

Lu Feng proactively poured tea for Zhuang Jie Ning, with a reflective tone, "You’ve always been so assertive. Tell me, why did Fengcheng Group’s show not participate in the bidding? Li Sihe is your fiancé, you can’t let him push you around!"

This remark made Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile stiffen slightly.

The reason Fengcheng Group did not participate in the Xinghe bidding was that Li Sihe, upon hearing that Bian Yue’s company was interested, pulled Su Youxue’s drama and transferred it to another platform.

And Su Youxue, now seemingly under some strange influence, readily followed Li Sihe’s will without a word of objection.

A cold gleam passed through Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes, but she quickly masked it with a smile, "Shiheng and I have a good relationship, Uncle, you know that ’Shengshi Yan’ is Bian Yue’s drama."

"Hmph, I didn’t fancy that show. If the chairman hadn’t personally decreed that we take it, I would not have chosen it!" Lu Feng spoke with disdain, "I don’t need to watch it to know, these poorly made ancient idols, it’s the likes of these people that spoil the market!"

Zhuang Jie Ning nodded noncommittally. She looked at Lu Feng with a soft voice, "In my opinion, Uncle, you don’t have to be upset. It’s all trivial. As long as it makes money, what does it matter what we air? Besides..."

Lu Feng looked at Zhuang Jie Ning, urgently asking, "Besides what?"

"Besides, you should also be aware that Bian Yue is Shen Jinci’s wife."

"Jie Ning, as you know I come from the Mainland, does the Shen Family, which is truly prestigious, recognize this Bian Yue as a wife? I’ve heard that the Shen Family’s standing might even surpass the Lu Family... Looking at this Bian Yue, I see nothing special, how could she..."

Before Lu Feng could finish, Zhuang Jie Ning chuckled and said in a controlled manner, "I’ve known Bian Yue for many years. She’s ambitious and wants a lot. So even if it’s a marriage of convenience, she’s keen on keeping a firm hold on the Shen Family. My cousin has always been away from Xiangjiang and isn’t familiar with things here; you..."

"So that’s how it is." Lu Feng’s expression was of aversion, understanding Zhuang Jie Ning’s point, "I’ll have a chance to discuss this with the chairman."

Zhuang Jie Ning nodded and said with a smile, "Then I won’t disturb you any longer, I should be going."

Huang Xin was still waiting outside, and seeing Zhuang Jie Ning emerge, he asked with a smile, "Miss Zhuang, how was the talk?"

"Not bad, oh and..." Zhuang Jie Ning walked a few steps out before stopping and turned to Huang Xin, "Let me see the sample reel of ’Shengshi Yan.’"

Huang Xin hesitated with an uncertain expression, "Miss Zhuang, this..."

"It’s just a show. If my cousin were here, he wouldn’t refuse me." Zhuang Jie Ning appraised Huang Xin coldly, "Or perhaps you’d like to call and ask him now?"

"Miss Zhuang, you misunderstand, I’ll have it for you right now." Huang Xin hurriedly responded.

Zhuang Jie Ning stood still, watching as Huang Xin’s flustered figure departed, a cold smirk crossing her features.

"Bian Yue..." Zhuang Jie Ning murmured to herself, her countenance twisted, "Don’t blame me, if anyone, blame your own damned good fortune for making everything go your way. It’s intolerable to watch."
