Chapter 579: Jiang Haoran
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao was a person with a strong aura. Furthermore, she had become the boss of the Dark Empire and had taken over so many businesses. Her usual style of doing things was even more resolute and swift.
What do you mean by ‘little birds are lovable’ and ‘gentle and demure’? These things never appeared on Shen Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, when she appeared outside the banquet holding 19’s hand, the reporters had been waiting for a long time and had taken many photos. However, no one asked if this was President Fang’s female companion. Even after so many years, President Fang had never brought a female companion out to any banquet.
No one would come forward to ask this question. After all, Shen Xiaoxiao did not look like a dodder flower-like woman in any way.
On the contrary, when she walked together with 19, it even made people feel that she was the host and 19 was just a supporting role. With such an aura, could she be a simple female companion?
Everyone who saw them immediately became curious. Who was this woman? What was her ident.i.ty?
Some people who had seen Shen Xiaoxiao a few years ago would find her familiar, but after all, she had not appeared in high society for a few years. Even if she looked familiar, many people had forgotten about her.
As soon as they reached the door, they met the Chinese rookie, Long Xi, who had also come. Compared to being curious about a woman, everyone was more curious about this business elite who had suddenly appeared. He was handsome and rich. Just like 19, he was the target of many people’s attention.
Look at this group of people, handsome men and beautiful women. This woman was the recently extremely popular singer, Nan Ya. She had a pure and sweet appearance. She wore a white lace strapless long dress that made her look like a fairy. With Long Xi, she looked like a perfect match. She had a unique charm and could be considered a perfect match.
“Boss Fang.”
When Nan Ya saw her boss, she naturally had to greet him. Usually, 19 was very polite to the singers and celebrities under him, especially those who were still famous. No matter what occasion they were in, they would speak and do things. He would leave some face.
However, 19 was like a different person today. Nan Ya greeted him and he only nodded slightly. No matter how Nan Ya looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, he did not have any intention of introducing her.
‘I will introduce Xiaoxiao to you? Are you worthy?’
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know what 19 was thinking. She looked at Long Xi and greeted him, while the little singer was staring at her blankly. However, she would not give the little singer a look.
“Xiaoxiao, how have you been?”
“Boss Long, how are you?”
The communication between the two seemed extremely unfamiliar, but it was impossible to ignore the familiarity between the two.
Nan Ya immediately realized that this woman was definitely not Director Fang’s female companion, and it was very likely that she was a business partner. However, she had never heard of a strong woman in China who could match up to him. What was this person’s ident.i.ty?
“19, it’s been a long time.”
19 looked at Long Xi and smiled faintly. Losing was not losing. Although Long Xi’s aura was also strong, the two of them stood together, one wild and domineering, the other gentle and refined, each with their own style.
“Boss Long is really impressive. Moreover, your Mandarin is not bad.”
Long Xi’s expression softened a little. He did not answer 19 but turned to Shen Xiaoxiao instead.
“Xiaoxiao, what do you think of my Mandarin? I feel like I’m no different from a Chinese.”
“Is that so? It’s just that it’s hard to draw a tiger’s skin and bones. Excuse me, I’ll leave first. Oh, right, Boss Long, you should call me Director Shen. Otherwise, you can also call me Madam Yan. After all, we’re not close enough to call each other by name.”
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished her story, she pulled 19 and walked into the place, leaving Long Xi and Nan Ya standing where they were. This time, Nan Ya was really surprised. What a strong woman. Not only did she not buy it, he was actually not even allowed to call each other by name.
The key was that Long Xi did not feel uncomfortable at all. Who was this woman?
Her surname was Shen? And she was also called Xiaoxiao? That was Shen Xiaoxiao, and she even said that she was Mrs. Yan. Was she already married?
Then who was she? She vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, but she really could not remember where she had heard or seen it before.
Long Xi did not know how Nan Ya was suspicious, nor was he interested in knowing. Instead, he followed closely behind Shen Xiaoxiao into the clubhouse.
Jiang Haoran was a famous real estate head in China. Of course, he was also known as the number one philanthropist in China.
He was said to be the nephew of that man, but he was also in his thirties. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed gla.s.ses and had a strong physique. It was said that he came from a military background. His figure was maintained very well. One look and one could tell that he was a refined businessman who knew how to take care of himself.
Shen Xiaoxiao had met Jiang Haoran many years ago. At a party held by Yan Kuan many years ago, when she was pregnant, Jiang Haoran had given her two jade tokens as a gift for the children in the future.
Although they had not interacted with each other over the years because of Yan Kuan’s relations.h.i.+p, Yan Kuan had maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with the Jiang family. Otherwise, she would not have sent the two children to the Jiang family not long ago.
The Jiang family had naturally heard about Yan Kuan’s accident, but they did not have the slightest intention of adding insult to injury. Shen Xiaoxiao’s successful acceptance of the global cause and the Dark Empire, to the Jiang family, she was indispensable. This was because China had no intention of making a move.
Other countries would naturally follow China’s lead, so in this way, Shen Xiaoxiao owed the Jiang family a huge favor.
Tonight’s charity auction was a donation that Jiang Haoran was preparing to make to the earthquake that happened not long ago. Of course, the more the better. As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao returned to China, the Jiang family received the news. Regardless of whether 19 had persuaded her to attend the banquet or not, Shen Xiaoxiao would definitely make this trip today.
Shen Xiaoxiao had a strong aura, and 19 was also one of the top figures in China. However, in the face of the most elite gathering in China, their arrival did not attract too much attention.
Although everyone was curious about the woman who had an extremely strong aura and a beautiful face who was following Director Fang, it did not cause too much of a commotion. Their arrival was not as intense as the arrival of Long Xi behind them.
However, when Jiang Haoran saw that Shen Xiaoxiao had arrived, he took the initiative to walk over to her side. This action truly focused all the attention that night.
What kind of person was Jiang Haoran? Everyone in China knew about the red third generation. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, but he was also extremely capable. The most important thing was that he was single. His wife pa.s.sed away a few years ago, and he only had a daughter left. How many people wanted to climb up to him? However, Jiang Haoran had never looked at them in the eye once.
Jiang Haoran had never personally welcomed the many political celebrities who came tonight. However, when Shen Xiaoxiao appeared, Jiang Haoran actually walked over personally. His footsteps were even a little hurried.
“Xiaoxiao, long time no see. You’re still as radiant as ever.”
“Brother Jiang, you flatter me. I haven’t seen you in so many years, and you’re still as handsome as ever.”
“Hahaha, you’re so polite as soon as you come. It’s really hard to invite you.. I’m so honored today.”
