Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Qiao Xi, Come Sit with President Shen

Qiao Xi didn’t answer, her eyebrows furrowed as she retorted, "What is it? If you don’t tell me, I’m hanging up."

This guy just can’t have a normal conversation.

Shen Dang really had no idea what to do with her, "Come out for a coffee, let’s talk."

"You’re in South City?"

Shen Dang’s voice lazily confirmed, "Hmm, you just realized?"

"I’m busy." Qiao Xi outright refused. "I have plans tonight."

"Coincidentally, I have plans tonight too."

I can make it, can’t you?

Qiao Xi caught Shen Dang’s implication, but still didn’t want to meet him, "Whatever you want to talk about, just say it over the phone. It’s so hot, why go out and make it troublesome? Just tell me, I’m listening."

Shen Dang’s tongue flicked against the corner of his mouth, his rogue charm prevalent, "Suddenly, I don’t feel like talking."

"..."

Jerk!

Qiao Xi decisively hung up the phone.

Bei Bei came over, examining Qiao Xi’s expression, "Sister Xi, whose call was that?"

She had noticed that every time this particular call came, Sister Xi’s mood was always unusual.

"A dog’s call."

Qiao Xi replied irritably.

"Hehe, Sister Xi, you never used to joke with me like that."

Who had affected Sister Xi’s emotions?

"Why would I joke with you?"

Bei Bei boldly guessed: "Was it your husband’s call? All this talk about dogs, aren’t those terms of endearment used between lovers or spouses?"

She appeared quite knowledgeable.

Qiao Xi: "..."

A term of endearment?

Quite imaginative.

Qiao Xi began preparing to attend the evening’s brand banquet.

She was only here to shoot commercials and didn’t bring any formal dresses. Wearing casual clothes didn’t seem appropriate, so she wore the cheongsam Ran Jing had bought for her.

When Qiao Xi arrived, the banquet had already started.

Her presence immediately attracted most of the attention.

A beauty, no matter where she went, would always be the center of attention.

Qiao Xi also noticed a few familiar faces.

Having not eaten much on her way, and with the banquet having a snack corner to the left, Qiao Xi didn’t care how others viewed her and walked over.

Bei Bei whispered, "Sister Xi, there are many artists from GK here. I heard GK desperately needs investments."

Qiao Xi nibbled on a piece of cake, "Where did you hear that?"

"Weibo. A lot of artists have left GK, it’s really tough."

Even though GK was in such a tough state, it still held clout.

The perfume commercial Qiao Xi was shooting was part of a brand collaboration with GK.

She too was working for others, and couldn’t really say who was worse off.

After a while, as the director saw Qiao Xi still leisurely eating, he came over to introduce her to President Chen.

President Chen, upon seeing Qiao Xi and a few others, smiled ambiguously, "President Shen, this is our joint brand ambassador for the IZ perfume, Qiao Xi."

Shen Dang was sitting on the sofa to the side, blocked from view by President Chen.

Upon hearing the name, the man raised his eyebrows and turned around.

Eyes met.

There was still a hint of amusement in Shen Dang’s eyes.

Qiao Xi, still wondering which President Shen it was, then saw a face so perfect yet punchable.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Why is he here?

Shen Dang: "..."

Oh, what a coincidence.

Both thought: Is this the "something important" he/she mentioned?

Qiao Xi hadn’t managed to mask her surprise before Shen Dang averted his gaze nonchalantly, as if looking at a stranger.

In moments like these, the two exhibited impeccable understanding.

"Hello, President Shen."

Shen Dang responded indifferently with a grunt, clearly uninterested in engaging with Qiao Xi.

President Chen: "..."

Such a beauty, and that’s the reaction?

Originally hoping to please Shen Dang via the universally acknowledged beauty of the entertainment industry and change his plans for acquiring the company, he was now unsure.

"President Chen." Jian Yi, dressed in a retro black dress and bustling over with her assistant, was instantly drawn to Shen Dang’s presence, her gaze steadfast on him.

President Chen introduced with a smile, "Jian Yi, this is President Shen of IDC Capital."

Jian Yi extended her hand graciously, "President Shen, I’ve long admired your reputation."

She had heard of IDC Capital, but hadn’t expected the owner of IDC to be so striking, exuding a high-class, untouchable yet irresistibly beckoning aura.

How could any woman not love Shen Dang?

As soon as Jian Yi saw Shen Dang, she was floored by his attractiveness.

Shen Dang still responded with a simple grunt, his casual indifference not even extending a glance to Jian Yi.

Jian Yi awkwardly withdrew her hand, the boss indeed living up to his reputation as cold and unapproachable.

But such men presented more of a challenge, didn’t they?

President Chen cheerily suggested, "Jian Yi, since President Shen rarely comes over from Hai City, keep him company."

The implication was clear.

Shen Dang chuckled derisively, his gaze gradually turning icy, yet his smile was as warm as a spring breeze, "Miss Qiao, was the advertisement shoot smooth?"

Qiao Xi almost couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes at Shen Dang.

Why’s this jerk dragging her into this?

Knowing Jian Yi was interested in him, was he trying to make an enemy out of her?

As expected, Jian Yi’s gaze snapped toward Qiao Xi, filled with personal vendetta.

President Shen isn’t interested in Qiao Xi, is he?

She really couldn’t get along with this Qiao Xi!

She disliked Qiao Xi, yet was insanely jealous of her.

The director, still quite appreciative of Qiao Xi, spoke complimentarily, "President Shen, Teacher Qiao performed flawlessly, the commercial is bound to be a huge hit."

President Chen added, "Indeed, I’ve seen the original, and it was very good. Once post-production is completed, the advertisement can be released."

President Chen smirked inwardly, thinking, see, no man can resist a beauty.

Especially such an ethereally beautiful one, hard to find in the entertainment industry!

Shen Dang nodded, his tone unclear, "Quite good."

No one could really tell what Shen Dang was thinking.

President Chen was still pleased, "Qiao Xi, come sit with President Shen."

Sit my ass.

Qiao Xi cursed internally, maintaining a cool smile on her face.

She didn’t move.

Her entertainment company had never subjected her to casting couch antics, let alone GK.

As President Chen thought, with IDC Capital becoming so influential, climbing up the corporate ladder with President Shen could seriously elevate her worth.

So why wasn’t she seizing this opportunity?

Given the chance, she should be climbing the ladder eagerly.

Unaware of the actual relationship between the two, President Chen thought he had found an angle.

Suddenly, Shen Dang stood up, his gaze cold and unguarded, "President Chen, let’s call it a day."

President Chen also stood up, puzzled by what might have offended him, "President Shen, what’s going on?"

What got into him?

"I have another engagement, I’ll take my leave now." Shen Dang turned and left the banquet without delay.

The surrounding executives exchanged glances, none daring to stop him.

Qiao Xi sneered and also didn’t stay much longer, leaving with Bei Bei.

By the roadside, Shen Dang lowered his car window, the streetlight casting a mysterious interplay of light and shadow on his face, "Miss Qiao, where are you headed? Let me give you a lift."
