The next morning, Jiang Yao had breakfast with Chen Yanbei in the hospital.
"Let's go, I'll see you off." Chen Yanbei changed her clothes and planned to send her to school in person.
Jiang Yao couldn't resist him. Fortunately, she just took a car when she went out, so it didn't matter whether she was tired or not. She nodded and got in the car with him.
When the car arrived near the school, Jiang Yao said to Zhong Yi who was driving, "Just stop here."
She had a reputation for slapping people in school some time ago, and many classmates knew her. Now she comes to school in a luxury car. If she is caught by classmates, she may have to contribute to the topic again, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Zhong Yi met Chen Yanbei's eyes for a moment in the rearview mirror. Seeing that his young master had no objection, he stepped on the brakes and parked the car firmly on the street, a hundred meters away from the school gate.
"I'm leaving, bye!" After parking the car, Jiang Yao put one hand on the doorknob and turned to say goodbye to Chen Yanbei.
Seeing how impatient she was to get out of the car, and thinking that she was going to attend the cocktail party alone with that David tonight, Chen Yanbei felt as if he had drunk a bottle of vinegar. The jealousy that had not occurred last night spread to him now, and he caught it With her other hand, she pulled her whole body into her arms and raised her eyebrows dissatisfiedly, "Just leaving like that?"
Jiang Yao raised her head and kissed the corners of his lips twice, coaxing him coquettishly: "Is this okay? I have an early class today. If I don't get off the car, I will..."
"Well--"
Before she could finish her words, she only had time to let out a low whimper before her waist was wrapped around her waist. In the blink of an eye, she was pressed against the car window. His kiss suddenly fell, deep and heavy, waiting for her chest to rise and fall for a second. When she was about to die if she stopped breathing, he gradually let go of her.
Their foreheads were touching, and he locked his eyes deeply with hers: "I will pick you up after the reception tonight."
It was a completely non-negotiable tone.
Jiang Yao's lips were numb from his kiss, and her whole body was so soft that she could hardly stand upright. She had no strength to refuse at this moment, so just accept it if you want. It's not a loss for her to have multiple free drivers. She nodded slowly, and then He kissed the corners of his lips tenderly twice and said in a trembling voice, "I'll wait for you tonight~"
Chen Yanbei then let her go with a gentle expression.
After pulling off her clothes and arranging her hair, Jiang Yao opened the door and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, he waved to the people in the car before turning around and walking forward.
inside the car.
Chen Yanbei did not let Zhong Yi drive immediately, but stopped where he was, looking through the front glass of the car and quietly watching Jiang Yao's walking back.
Zhong Yi knew that the young master wanted to wait for the young mistress to enter the school before he would feel relieved, so he did not say anything and waited patiently.
It's less than 100 meters away and only takes a few minutes to walk.
Just as Jiang Yao was approaching the school gate, she suddenly looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Miss Jiang." Chen Yaozu had been waiting at the door for a long time and finally stopped her.
There were no mobile phones in this era, so the only way to contact someone was through a landline. However, Jiang Yao did not have a landline after her divorce, so Chen Yaozu had no choice but to come to the school to arrest her if he wanted to find her.
"Second Young Master Chen." Jiang Yao greeted her politely, thinking of the deal Chen Yaozu made with her last time.
She was afraid that she was weak in Xiangjiang and would be retaliated against if she refused to trade with Chen Yaozu, so she agreed to him.
But now, although she and Chen Yanbei are not husband and wife, they are still ambiguous. If anything happens, Chen Yanbei will definitely protect her, so she is confident.
Chen Yaozu didn't make any detours here, and directly handed her a handbag: "Take this, this is what you will wear at the reception tonight."
Jiang Yao didn't answer. Today was different from the past, and she just wanted to explain it clearly to him: "Sorry, Mr. Chen, our previous transaction is void."
"What do you mean?" Chen Yaozu's face suddenly darkened, "Let me go?"
Jiang Yao looked at him expressionlessly: "Literally, I thought about it. You asked me to sell my beauty. I can't do it. You should find someone else."
"Ha", Chen Yaozu sneered, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so unreliable."
Jiang Yao did not deny what he said at all: "Yes, I just don't have credibility. Don't do any transactions with me in the future. Also, women are naturally fickle, genetically determined, and I can't resist it. Mr. Chen, I'm in a hurry to go to class." , can you get out of the way?"
Jiang Yao didn't have a good impression of Chen Yaozu, and after she made it clear, she didn't want to waste time with him anymore.
Chen Yaozu obviously saw the perfunctory and disdainful tone in her words, and glanced behind her with a sinister look. He didn't say any more and stepped aside to make way.
Jiang Yao took two steps and turned around as if sensing something. She saw Chen Yanbei's car parked far away. Apparently Chen Yaozu had seen it just now, and he didn't embarrass her because he was afraid of Chen Yanbei.
Jiang Yao curled her lips, turned around and continued walking forward.
night.
The industry reception was held in the outdoor garden of the Four Seasons Hotel.
A cocktail party is not like a dinner party. There is no need to wear a grand evening dress, just formal attire.
Jiang Yao chose a light blue suit and skirt, with her hair tied back and light makeup. She only chose the simplest pearl earrings for jewelry. The whole outfit was elegant and solemn. Huang Weide was wearing a suit with a printed square scarf on the collar. After meeting Jiang Yao at the entrance of the hotel, they entered the venue side by side.
It was approaching eight o'clock, and the venue was already bustling with activity. The dining table on the side of the garden was filled with exquisite snacks and drinks. After Jiang Yao entered, they saw people inside drinking and talking in groups.
Jiang Yao has done some homework recently and collected a lot of industry information from newspapers and magazines. At this moment, she was able to match the people talking in the venue with the information in the newspapers.
"The person on the front left is the chairman of Hengda Real Estate."
"The one next to him is the general manager of Dongsheng Real Estate."
"..."
Jiang Yao whispered to Huang Weide.
Huang Weide also did his homework. After imprinting those faces in his mind, he planned to take the initiative to get to know them when he had an opportunity and become familiar with them.
To build a real estate magazine, the first step is to establish industry influence, and the second step is to monetize the influence.
The fastest way to accomplish the first step is to establish relationships with industry leaders.
Jiang Yao was thinking about how to get to know the big boss of Hengda Real Estate. A waiter came to her next to her with a tray filled with various drinks. "Madam, sir, would you like a glass of wine?"
Huang Weide casually picked a glass of champagne and handed it to Jiang Yao, and took another glass for himself. The two stood there drinking lightly while talking quietly for a while about how to cooperate with the boss to promote their magazine.
Jiang Yao was so eye-catching that many people noticed her as soon as she entered the venue. However, seeing that there was always a male companion standing next to her, it was inconvenient for them to approach her and strike up a conversation.
This is why Jiang Yao brought Huang Weide here, to block these people for her.
As the two of them were saying this, a surprised voice suddenly interrupted: "David?"
Huang Weide turned around and was immediately surprised: "Jason Liang!"
While he was talking, the man in a suit named Jason had already walked up and patted Huang Weide on the shoulder: "I didn't expect to meet you in Xiangjiang. Who is this?"
His curious and amazed eyes immediately fell on Jiang Yao.
With a polite smile on Jiang Yao's lips, Huang Weide introduced: "This is my partner Jiang Yao. We have just founded a magazine focusing on the real estate industry. The magazine was formerly known as GA Architecture."
Jason smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Yao: "Hello Miss Jiang, I have heard of GA Construction. Our Planning Department has ordered this magazine before. The content is indeed solid, but it is not interesting. Your idea of revamping it into a real estate magazine is good. I will definitely support it when it is published.”
"These are my business cards." Jason took out two cards from his business card holder and handed one to Huang Weide and Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao saw the title on the business card and sighed inwardly. What a coincidence. Chen Yaozu wanted her to seduce the director of the Planning Department before, but now she met the assistant director.
Jiang Yao put the business card away, her red lips slightly raised, and she stretched out her hand to shake hands with Jason politely: "When the magazine is released, I will definitely send it to Mr. Liang. Please help us promote it then."
Huang Weide and Jason were college classmates and had a good relationship. However, after graduation, one was in Singapore and the other was in Xiangjiang, so they naturally had less contact. Now Jason is the assistant to the director of the Xiangjiang Land Planning Department.
Now that he had this existing relationship, Huang Weide brought the topic to work after reminiscing about old times.
Jason didn't know whether to give face to him or Jiang Yao, so he said enthusiastically: "Since you are going to be a real estate magazine, I can help you introduce a few big guys in the real estate industry."
The Planning Department is in charge of land approval in Xiangjiang. Real estate developers who want to acquire land must not bypass the Planning Department. The Planning Department is the ancestor of real estate developers, so real estate bosses in the eyes of outsiders must be respectful to the people in the Planning Department, plus Jason He is Director Ma's right-hand man, so when he said the introduction, there was no bragging at all.
Director Ma was originally scheduled to attend today's cocktail party, but something unexpected happened, so Jason was asked to attend on his behalf. Jason took Huang Weide and Jiang Yao to greet several leading real estate developers. Heng, whom they wanted to meet before, The chairman of Da Real Estate is also among them.
After a while, Huang Weide was able to cope with it easily and became familiar with the big real estate developers. Jiang Yao played the role of a vase, smiling beside her and only chatting a few words when asked about her.
Seeing Huang Weide socializing with ease, Jiang Yao felt relieved. The wine in her hand was bottomed out. A waiter happened to be passing by. Jiang Yao wanted to get another glass, but when the waiter took the empty wine glass from her hand, he accidentally poured it out of the tray. Wine, wine spilled on Jiang Yao's suit skirt, and her chest was wet.
"Yes, I'm sorry, miss." The waiter was so flustered that he apologized repeatedly.
Upon seeing this, Huang Weide immediately took off his suit jacket to Jiang Yao and scolded the waiter in his tone: "Why are you so careless?"
Jiang Yao signaled to him: "It's okay. I'll just go to the bathroom to deal with it. You go and talk to them more."
"Okay." Huang Weide went to find Jason with the wine glass.
The venue is in an open-air garden, and the restrooms are some distance away from the garden, so you have to go indoors.
Jiang Yao followed the sign to the bathroom, but there was no one inside. She stood in front of the mirror, used a paper towel to absorb the wine stains on her chest, and then turned on the faucet to wash her hands.
While washing her, she felt like her head was a little heavy. She has a good drinking capacity. She only had one drink tonight. How could she feel like this?
She shook her head and poured cold water on her face, trying to wake herself up.
But the feeling of heaviness became stronger and stronger, and there was a sense of restlessness in her body. She raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. In the mirror, there were two unnatural blushes on her cheeks, and her cheeks were rosy. Her cheeks were particularly charming. She looked away. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, her feet suddenly softened. Then her eyes went into a trance. Jiang Yao was shocked. Could it be that she had been drugged?
