Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Keep at Hand for Tidying Up

Contrary to Si Yuhuan’s expectations, and certainly to everyone else present, Zhang Xuan said to Si Yuhuan, "We currently have an opening for a female live streamer, and Miss Jiang’s image is very suitable for this promotional event. I highly recommend her."

The president of Fenghuang Entertainment personally named her for the role. It seemed her international influence had reached a height that no one could ignore, and Jiang Qimeng unconsciously raised her chin in pride.

Women have an innate pride when complimented, especially by such an outstanding boss as Zhang Xuan.

It was as if she had reclaimed all the dignity she felt she’d just lost.

Her grandfather was about to say something else, but Jian Xi tugged at his elbow. "Grandfather, since President Zhang has said so, I agree as well. Let her join."

Jian Xi agreed because she had caught the small wink Zhang Xuan had given her just moments before.

He’s so close with Second Brother; this must have been Second Brother’s idea.

Her Second Brother had been through the wringer in the entertainment industry for so many years and was quite the master at outmaneuvering people. She felt a twinge of worry for Jiang Qimeng; her life from now on would probably be difficult!

And there Jiang Qimeng was, still beaming.

After sending her grandfather off, Si Yuhuan asked Jian Xi to stay.

"What for? You can’t be inviting me to dinner, can you?"

"Xixi, let me take you out to eat. Thank you for speaking up for me in front of Grandfather today," Jiang Qimeng said, standing beside Si Yuhuan as if they were the perfectly matched couple, and Jian Xi, Si Yuhuan’s actual wife, was the outsider.

Jian Xi found these kinds of intentionally provocative actions truly nauseating; in her previous life, she had suffered greatly because of them.

Back then, easily angered and prone to outbursts, she would act like a madwoman in front of Si Yuhuan, screaming and tearing at things. This behavior only resulted in her getting hurt and him growing more disdainful, pushing them further apart.

This time, Jian Xi had gained perspective. She smiled and said, "No need. Keeping you at the company is also for my own benefit. After all, every penny you earn for the corporation is part of the marital property shared between Si Yuhuan and me."

Jiang Qimeng’s expression changed drastically. Her forced smile was uglier than tears, and she seemed unable to maintain the facade any longer.

Jian Xi had no interest in watching her carry on. Instead, she turned to Si Yuhuan. "Grandfather’s health isn’t good, and your defiance today could very well send him to the emergency room. You can be angry with me, but you can’t gamble with his health."

Finally, she could stand on the moral high ground and lecture him.

All Si Yuhuan could do at that moment was listen, not even having the chance to retort.

Jian Xi confidently flipped her hair back and went after Zhang Xuan.

If he’s here, then Second Brother must have also returned to the country.

It had been a long time since she had seen Second Brother; she was dying to see him.

She had just reached the underground parking garage when a large hand reached out and pulled Jian Xi into a nearby SUV. "Shh, keep quiet."

The person said this while covering Jian Xi’s mouth and lowering their voice, just as a group of paparazzi dashed past.

Jian Xi pinched the man’s arm excitedly.

"OW!" he yelled in pain.

The driver floored the accelerator, eager to escape the underground garage that was about to be swarmed by reporters and media.

"Second Brother, you’ve finally come back! I’ve missed you to death!" Jian Xi turned and hugged the man, only to realize it was Zhou Yan. She paused for a moment in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Jian Xi quickly pushed him away, feeling awkward.

Zhou Yan’s handsome face flushed slightly. "I’m sorry, Senior. Brother Xin asked me to pick you up and take you to a private restaurant. He’s reserved a room for you and ordered your favorite dishes."

Looking at him, he seemed quite familiar with Second Brother.

Indeed, the entertainment industry and the online influencer world were all one big family.

Jian Xi’s eyes brightened. "So Second Brother is there?"

"Yes! You know, Chuxin just won the Golden Elephant Award, so now too many people want to photograph him."

Jian Xi nodded in understanding.

Those reporters and media members from earlier looked ready to devour someone.

Jian Xi settled into the car, her heart pounding with excitement as she waited to see her Second Brother.

On the way, she asked Zhou Yan how he knew her Second Brother. He replied that being able to embark on the path of an online influencer and live the life he liked was all thanks to her Second Brother’s guidance and pointers, as well as the support of President Zhang Xuan.

The private restaurant her Second Brother had booked was a bit remote, and the drive took nearly an hour.

Upon arrival, Zhang Xuan was also there.

Jian Xi greeted him warmly but still hadn’t seen her Second Brother.

It was Zhang Xuan who saw through her thoughts. Looking resigned, he said, "The plan was to have a meal together, but that fellow had some urgent matters and had to rush back to Q Country. Don’t take it to heart, Jian Xi!"

Jian Xi forced a smile. "How could I mind? Eating with Uncle Zhang is just as good. But I do feel a bit down since it’s been so long since I’ve seen him."

"Don’t worry," Zhang Xuan continued. "He (Second Brother) specifically sent me back to support you! And as for why I agreed to keep Jiang Qimeng today, I’m sure you understand our (Second Brother’s and my) intentions."

Jian Xi nodded. "Keep her close, so she can be dealt with as needed."

"You’re a clever girl."

"It’s one of Second Brother’s usual tactics; I knew it was his idea the moment I heard it." Jian Xi’s understanding of Jian Chuxin made Zhang Xuan burst into laughter.

Jian Xi felt a warmth inside; she was deeply touched that her brothers were all doing everything they could to help her vent her frustrations.

How could she not feel blessed?

The dishes were served quickly.

After chatting about family matters for a while, Zhang Xuan turned his attention to Zhou Yan. "You know he was personally groomed by your Second Brother, right?"

This, Jian Xi truly didn’t know, and she shook her head.

Zhou Yan scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I only just found out myself that you, Senior, are actually Chuxin’s biological sister."

Jian Xi thought the world was truly small—she’d gone to Fancheng just to avoid her eldest brother’s scolding and sign an online streamer for her friend, and somehow it had led to all this.

"I will also be collaborating with Fenghuang Entertainment in the future, so it’s inevitable that I will have to work with Jiang Qimeng. You can rest assured, Senior; since you despise her, she is also my enemy."

He said this with a very serious expression.

Jian Xi couldn’t help but choke on her water. "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

"There’s really no need!" So it turned out her Second Brother not only surprised her with Fenghuang Entertainment being a family business but had also sent her a cheerful young man who seemed to specialize in countering Jiang Qimeng.

She was somewhat bemused.

The care from her family was meticulous to an extreme.

Zhang Xuan, looking much more composed, held his wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and advised, "As strong as Si Yuhuan is, he can’t control everyone. Public opinion is the most difficult thing to manage. Nowadays, netizens have very keen eyes and are perfectly capable of independent thought."

By the end of the meal, Jian Xi felt she had gained a lot.

Indeed, the tactics of an entertainment mogul were formidable.

She also understood why her Second Brother, despite having left, still wanted her to come for this meal.

Because Zhou Yan had been introduced, she and he began to communicate more frequently.

After greeting her grandfather back at the old family home, she went to freshen up.

Around ten o’clock, after Jian Xi replied to Zhou Yan’s message saying she was going to sleep, her room door opened.

"Who did you go to dinner with?"

Si Yuhuan had actually returned. She was somewhat surprised he wasn’t with Jiang Qimeng.

After all, considering Jiang Qimeng’s temperament, she had been indirectly humiliated today and would definitely not miss the opportunity to play the victim and seek comfort from Si Yuhuan.

Jian Xi stared at him with a bit of wariness but still said stubbornly, "What’s it to you?"

Thinking about their intimacy last night, and then seeing how he protected Jiang Qimeng today, filled her with anger.
