Chapter 92: Let's Have a Meetup

  Song Jiang immediately returned to the office and personally poured a glass of water for Ji Xin'an, putting it in front of her. He thought that since she could come here to take the exam, it should be over by now.

  "You're here this time, it should be summer vacation, nothing else, right?" Song Jiang hadn't looked for her in a long time because he knew she was going to take the college entrance exam and was afraid of disturbing her.

  "From now on, until I go to school for registration, it's about two months' time, I don't have anything to do, but you can't occupy all of it, I still have other things to do." Ji Xin'an followed him into the office and sat down casually, listening to his words and understanding what he meant.

  "That's perfect, I'll have my secretary notify the heads of our company and artists to hold a meeting, and introduce you to them. Although we're about to leave soon, it's also good for you to meet some necessary people in the company. After all, you are also a director of the company, how can a shareholder not know the high-level executives? And I also want to make your identity and Zou Ze's identity public within the company, so that everyone knows that An Xin and Kan Ke from back then are now in our company." Song Jiang had thought about this for a long time, before Ji Xin was still a student and it wasn't convenient to reveal her identity, but now she's about to go out and attend university, there shouldn't be any problems.

  "But I'm going to take the military school exam." Ji Xin'an was somewhat embarrassed, although there wasn't much concern about this internal public affair, but if it were exposed by reporters, it would still cause some minor trouble.

  "Don't worry, these people are all trustworthy, and those artists, unless they don't want to stay in this circle, how dare they expose the boss's privacy? Moreover, even if it gets out, by that time you'll already be at military school, and when those reporters come looking for you, they won't be able to find you." Song Jiangliang knew what she was worried about, he had thought of it long ago, and the people he would bring over would all be trustworthy, he could guarantee that they wouldn't leak their identities.

  "Alright, I'll listen to you." Ji Xin'an could only nod her head. After all these years, Ji Xin'an didn't have as many worries anymore and felt that even if she was exposed, it wouldn't affect her becoming a true soldier.

  "That's great, you call Zou Ze in a while and let him come too. I'll introduce you all to each other." Song Jiangliang was delighted when she agreed.

  "I don't dare guarantee he'll definitely come." Ji Xin'an didn't directly agree.

  "Don't worry, I know that kid well. As long as you agree, Zou Ze won't object." Song Jiang said with a ambiguous gaze at her.

  Ji Xin'an could only nod in agreement, having no choice but to admit that Song Jiangliang was right. Zou Ze would not dare oppose her decisions.

  Song Jiang listened and immediately had his secretary notify the people who needed to attend the meeting, but the time was set for the afternoon. After all, the attendees were not only company executives, but also some now very famous stars. Although they may be famous, they still have to follow the company's arrangements, but they also need to be given some time to arrange other things.

  Ji Xin'an couldn't go back and forth, so lunch had to be settled here. She rarely came, so Song Jiangliang naturally wouldn't take her to the cafeteria for a simple meal, although the environment there was also very good. Instead, he took her to a private club called 'Ming' that he often went to.

  That is considered one of the top clubs in the city, including restaurants, hotels, entertainment facilities and so on. Business leaders, political figures, singers and movie stars can be seen everywhere here, it's very common.

  They like to come here, one is high-end enough, talking about business or entertaining guests, it can be considered very face-giving for the other party. Another reason is that this place does a great job in keeping secrets from customers, and no journalists are allowed to enter, even ordinary business people, if there's no introduction, no matter how much money they have, they can't get in. Every person who comes in must have a membership card, so whatever you do here or with whom, it can be kept confidential, which is especially loved by celebrities.

  Ji Xin'an had Song Jiangliang take him in, of course there wouldn't be a problem, but he must wear formal attire. Ji Xin'an was wearing extremely casual clothes and would definitely be stopped at the door, so Song Jiangliang directly took him to a branded clothing store.

  "Song Ge, let's just eat casually, why bother with so much fuss?" Ji Xin'an heard that they had to change clothes just for a meal, and her face immediately scrunched up.

  "No, today's trip to Ming is not just for dinner, but mainly to introduce you in, so that when you need it yourself, you can go at any time. Otherwise, as a shareholder of Tianhang, we can't even get into Ming, it would be a joke. Besides, Zou Ze is going to enter the entertainment industry later, he should be exposed to these people earlier and make preparations." Song Jiangliang's words dispelled her thoughts.

  Ji Xin'an really wanted to say she didn't care, but looking at Song Jiang's enthusiastic expression, and thinking that this opportunity was indeed good for Zou Ze too, she endured it and went along with him.

  When buying clothes, Ji Xin'an refused the salesperson's recommendation of the currently popular clothes. It wasn't that she wanted to pursue a different style, but those really didn't suit her. Not only did they not look good on her, but she also wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them.

  She went forward and looked around for a while, picked out a dress with a unique floral design, plus a pair of high heels that matched it, and turned into the fitting room.

  The salesperson saw the clothes she had chosen and felt a bit strange. In this era, few people would choose such floral clothes. The skirt was also designed by a famous designer, but it had been hanging there for a long time without being sold out. It's because many people think that wearing such floral clothes now might be ridiculed as being tacky, even if they spent so much money on them. Although the sales staff in this high-end brand store were of high quality, they must have thought of her as a nouveau riche in their hearts.

  But when Ji Xin'an came out after changing into a new set of clothes, the eyes of the two people waiting outside lit up.

  A simple floral skirt, worn on her body not only doesn't have a vulgar feeling, but instead is fresh and elegant. Paired with the shoes she chose herself, it's beautiful yet not lacking in subtlety, and even has a hint of charm.

  "How is it?" Ji Xin'an stood in front of the mirror, twirling around with her skirt, making Song Jiang's eyes dizzy. Although he had known she was good-looking before, he had never thought that she would be so beautiful when dressed up.

  Song Jiang thought to himself, this is really unbelievable, she's only in her teens and yet so beautiful, a few more years and it'll be even more unbearable, if she were to live in ancient times, she'd definitely be a beauty capable of toppling cities and countries, and even in modern times, who knows how many men she'll enchant.

  "Song Ge, what's going on?" Ji Xin'an saw him staring at himself in the mirror but not speaking, and curiously turned around, wondering if his current aesthetic vision was really too different from his own, and that he couldn't even enter their eyes now.

  "It's really beautiful, if Song Ge were ten years younger, he would definitely compete with Zou Ze and defeat him to win your heart." Song Jiangliang felt a bit embarrassed, as a man in his thirties, he was actually stunned by a young girl, but when he saw Ji Xin'an's clean eyes, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his own darkness. However, after all, he had been through many storms and quickly recovered, even making jokes.

  "Song Ge, what are you talking about? Zhou Ze and I are just ordinary friends. Besides, you're always surrounded by a large group of beautiful women, you must be aesthetically fatigued already, so don't flatter me." She knew that in Song Jiang Liang's eyes, the two of them had always been ambiguous, she knew that no matter what she said, he wouldn't believe her, but if she didn't explain, it would be equivalent to admitting it.

  "It's just that no matter how many beautiful women we see, none are as lovely as our An'an." Song Jiangliang chuckled jokingly.

  "It's settled then, this one is quite formal too." Ji Xin'an thought it looked good on her as well, so she decided on it.

  "Aren't you going to try on some other clothes?" Song Jiangliang knew the pain of accompanying women to buy clothes, so he never accompanied women shopping. This time with Ji Xin'an was an exception because he wanted to treat her as a guest, but he didn't expect her to be so pleased with buying clothes, which was somewhat unexpected.

  "Never mind, I think this one is fine too, let's just go with it." Ji Xin'an was happy to save trouble and wouldn't bother doing that annoying thing again.

  Seeing Song Jiang wanting to take out money, Ji Xin'an hastily stepped forward and said, "Brother Song, I have money myself, let me do it."

  "I know you have money, and this amount of money is nothing to you, but I've never given you a gift before. If you think it's too cheap, then you can pay for it yourself." Song Jiang blocked her hand that was about to take the money and directly took out a card to pay the bill.

  Seeing what he said, he couldn't say anything else, so he smiled and said: "Song Ge, I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have chosen this one. You should be punished properly. Come and help me get that necklace over there." He pointed to a necklace with some ethnic style in the pile of decorations.

  "You really have an eye for it, the clothes you picked out are just right." Song Jiang Liang originally felt like something was missing, but now it's just right. He wasn't unhappy that she had made him spend more money again. "Add this one too, and calculate the total bill together."

  The sales assistant quietly took the credit card from his hand, quickly processed the transaction and returned it to him. Now she also saw that the two were either rich or noble. Such expensive clothes, she didn't even dare to think about, but they didn't put it in their eyes at all. And that necklace, although not gold or silver, was not much cheaper than gold. They bought it as soon as they said so.

  Watching the two of them leave, she couldn't help but feel envious. If only she had an older brother like that, it would be great. She heard Ji Xin'an call him Song Ge, and thought they were siblings, but it wasn't wrong either. The relationship between the two was almost as close as siblings anyway.

  Zou Ze indeed agreed without hesitation as Song Jiangliang said, but he didn't go to the company, instead he went directly to 'Ming's' door and waited for them.

  When he saw Ji Xin'an get off the car, he stood there, staring at Ji Xin'an, as if everything around him had disappeared, leaving only Ji Xin'an. If no one called him, he might have kept looking like that.

  "Kid, your eyes are about to pop out." Song Jiangliang patted Zou Ze on the back. He wasn't surprised at all by Zou Ze's loss of composure. When he had just seen Ji Xin'an himself, he was also distracted, let alone Zou Ze, who had always liked her.

  "I... I just think An is very pretty today." Zou Ze came back to his senses and his face immediately turned red.

  "So you're saying I wasn't pretty before?" Ji Xin'an heard this and pretended to be angry, with a cute pose and her hands on her hips, looking not scary at all, but rather even more adorable.

  Ke Zou Ze heard it and became anxious, "No, I didn't mean that, you're also very beautiful usually..."

  "Alright, alright, don't bully him just because he's honest and naive." Song Jiangliang saw that Zou Ze's face turned even redder, so he came over to help him out.

  Ji Xin'an smiled and stopped teasing him, but Zou Ze also reacted, "Well, you actually pretended to be angry to deceive me." He said as he came over to retaliate against her.

  Scared, Ji Xin'an hastily hid behind Song Jiangliang's back, "I didn't cheat you on anything, it was your own misunderstanding."

  "You two stop messing around, can't you see where we are? You're acting like kids." After saying that, he thought for a moment, they themselves aren't kids, it's just that the things they've been doing all along have been too adult-like, to the point that even he doesn't treat them as kids anymore.

  The two men stopped laughing and followed Song Jiang into 'Ming'.

  They arrived at 'Ming', Song Jiang first helped them to handle their membership cards, so that next time they come, they don't have to call themselves.

  The lobby manager was immediately attracted to Ji Xin'an at first sight. Although the current Ji Xin'an is not that stunning beauty, she is the kind of person who will never be ignored wherever she goes.

  But when I found out that Ji Xin'an and Zou Ze were applying for membership cards, I was a bit surprised by their youth. After all, the people who come here are not lacking in successful middle-aged men, but then again, it's possible that they're just some rich old man's kids, so it's understandable. At this time, there weren't many second-generation rich kids showing off their wealth, so young people like them were still relatively rare here.

  But when filling in the identity, 'Tianhang Entertainment Company Director', it was enough to surprise him, and after carefully sizing up the two, he looked at them with a different gaze, unexpectedly they were already shareholders of a large company at a young age, compared to himself, feeling very ashamed.

  "Can we go in?" Song Jiang Liang didn't get angry, instead he found a balance in his heart, it seems that not only himself was surprised.

  "Okay, okay, please." The manager hastily handed over the ordinary membership card with both hands and regretted his recent loss of composure, thinking that he had not seen what kind of person in these years would lose his composure in front of a little girl.

  "An An, it seems your charm is quite considerable." Song Jiang Liang smiled as he looked at Ji Xin An.

  "He was stunned after hearing that the two of us are directors of the company, if so, it should be said that our company is charming, and indirectly saying that you are charming." The three were led to their reserved table, still chatting about what had just happened.

  Song Jiang smiled and ignored her flattery, knowing he couldn't compete with Ji Xin'an in this aspect, so he lowered his head to study the menu.

  After asking if they had any dietary restrictions, I basically ordered a bit of everything from their specialty dishes here...
