Chapter 778: One Day
Editor: Henyee Translations
If one wanted to say that he was being rude, he had used a respectful address.
But if one said that he was being polite, the offensiveness in his words were still slightly strong.
Jiang Weiyang was talking about Murong Qiao when someone suddenly appeared from the side. When she saw the other party, she frowned and looked back and forth between Murong Qiao and Nan Xuan in realization.
“Why are you still so protective of her even though you’re not siblings anymore?” Jiang Weiyang retorted bluntly.
She had long investigated Murong Qiao, so she knew the relationship between
Nan Xuan and Murong Qiao.
Although the good-looking Nan Xuan was a plus in Jiang Weiyang’s heart, it was a pity that he was standing on the side of Murong Qiao, whom she hated the most. Therefore, even the way she looked at Nan Xuan became unpleasant.
Jiang Weiyang’s words were sharp as they headed straight for Nan Xuan. She had no intention of hiding her hostility.
Murong Qiao was protected behind Nan Xuan and couldn’t see his expression clearly. She only heard Nan Xuan become silent for a moment before speaking again.
“No matter what, I’ll always treat her as my Little Sister. However, even if I didn’t meet Qiaoqiao today, I would still stand up,” Nan Xuan said in a calm voice.
However, only Nan Xuan knew how sincere his words were.
Jiang Weiyang didn’t seem to expect him to say this. Just as she was about to speak again, she became silent.
This pause gave Murong Qiao a chance to speak first.
“Of course it’s fine if we don’t cooperate.” Her tone sounded like she couldn’t wait, and there was even a hint of antic.i.p.ation.
Murong Qiao opened her hand and stretched it out in front of Jiang Weiyang.
“If I remember correctly, we’ve already signed the contract, so-”
“If you don’t cooperate, why don’t you pay me the penalty now?”
To be able to let Luo Wanbai bring her to the company to take a look, the contract must have been signed. Otherwise, Jiang Weiyang wouldn’t have made things difficult for her so smugly just now.
Murong Qiao did not expect Jiang Weiyang to personally deliver money to her door and say such words.
She had no intention of rejecting the money that came knocking on her door.
She was even very glad to see it.
Jiang Weiyang had forgotten about this. In the end, when Murong Qiao said it, she remembered in frustration that she had already signed the contract for the project before she came.
When she took this project from her Big Brother previously, she didn’t pay attention to the details at all. She only looked through it briefly and after confirming that she could make things difficult for Murong Qiao, she came over directly. She didn’t consider anything else at all. In the end, when Murong Qiao said that, she realized the problem.
In fact, when Jiang Weiyang took over this project, she had already signed a cooperation agreement with Murong Qiao’s company. At that time, Jiang Wenxu had handed it to his sister to deal with because it was a half-finished project. He hoped that she could acc.u.mulate some experience, but he didn’t expect his Little Sister to use it for this purpose.
If Jiang Wenxu knew that his Little Sister was using the project to do this, he would definitely not have made such a decision back then.
Even if it was just a simple project, it was enough to affect the future of the Jiang Family. Jiang Wenxu firmly believed in the b.u.t.terfly effect, so even if it was his most beloved sister, Jiang Weiyang didn’t want her to cause trouble for the Jiang Family.
Didn’t that mean that she could only make things difficult for her casually and had to cooperate with the other party in the future?
Not long after, Jiang Weiyang thought of this. Coincidentally, she saw Murong Qiao looking at her. After their gazes met in the air, Jiang Weiyang read the same thoughts in Murong Qiao’s eyes.
“…Hmph.” Jiang Weiyang snorted coldly. This time, she was in no mood to continue looking. She turned around and left.
For a moment, only Nan Xuan and Murong Qiao were still standing there.
In addition, there was an employee who had just followed over. He was trembling in fear and pretending to be silent at the side, trying his best to weaken his presence.
After all, when the employee saw Nan Xuan running towards the boss just now, he had a bad feeling. Then, he watched the tense confrontation. At this moment, he wished he could look down and show concern for his toes. He had already hinted in his heart to hypnotize himself and pretend that nothing had happened today.
“…Why are you here?” Seeing Jiang Weiyang leave, Murong Qiao didn’t leave directly. After all, Nan Xuan had just protected her.
Although Murong Qiao felt that she didn’t need the other party just now, since Nan Xuan was already here, she couldn’t pretend to be a stranger.
Nan Xuan, who had been completely cold to Jiang Weiyang just now, coughed lightly when he heard his Little Sister ask him. His expression softened. He saw the employees beside him widen their eyes slightly. Their performances were simply like two different people.
“I’m just… coming to the company about the endors.e.m.e.nt collaboration.”
Nan Xuan explained his purpose for coming here.
Murong Qiao mistakenly thought that Nan Xuan was still working in his previous company. Although she felt that the other party’s clothes had changed, she didn’t think too much about it.
Because if she said a few more words of concern, it would attract more chain reactions that she didn’t like.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Murong Qiao quickly ended the topic. “I still have a lot of work to do.”
“If you have any questions from the company, you can ask. My a.s.sistant, Jiang Chi, will be happy to answer them.”
In order to prevent her att.i.tude from being too cold, Murong Qiao added before she left.
“Alright.” Nan Xuan only nodded in agreement.
In fact, he didn’t even expect his Little Sister to talk to him. At this moment, his heart was about to overflow with joy, let alone care about Murong Qiao’s coldness.
At least when he approached Murong Qiao, the other party didn’t have any thoughts of resisting and spoke to him like usual.
Then one day, they might be able to return to the past.
Nan Xuan firmly believed in it and decided to bring the company to greater heights.
This time, he came to his Little Sister’s company because he had taken out a portion of the company’s profits during this period of time to find this place to endorse. Actually, with his current company’s standards, he didn’t need to spend so much on publicity.
However, he had not seen Murong Qiao for too long, so it was rare for Nan Xuan to use his willful emotions to make a decision on serious matters. Then, he contacted the company and couldn’t help but come over to take a look.
Even though he was looking forward to it, Nan Xuan didn’t come with the intention of really meeting his Little Sister at first. He only wanted to take a closer look at the environment his Little Sister usually worked in.
It was a pleasant surprise to be able to meet and talk to Murong Qiao.
“Mr. Nan Xuan…?”
After his boss walked a little further away, the employee who had been pretending to be invisible finally spoke carefully.
Although from Nan Xuan and Murong Qiao’s performance just now, their relationship seemed to be extraordinary and a little strange, the employee was still very restrained and didn’t say anything.
After all, they had signed a confidentiality agreement. At the same time, he knew very well that the most important thing to do when working in an entertainment agency was to keep his mouth shut and not gossip.
As for the boss, there was no need to mention her. The employees didn’t want to lose their fragrant rice bowls at this moment.
“It’s fine. Let’s continue.”
When he saw his Little Sister finally disappear around the comer and could no longer be seen, and even her footsteps gradually faded away, Nan Xuan retracted his attention and gestured to the employee beside him..
