Pei Yilan shook her head. “Nothing.”
She rubbed the cup excitedly, thinking about the surprise Zhou Yanshen said he had in store for her.
Seeing that she was getting restless, Lin Jiao said in a low voice, “Yilan, call him and ask.”
“Okay.” Pei Yilan immediately stood up.
She strode out hurriedly with her eyes fixed on the phone screen, not noticing the man who walked past her.
Jiang Ye followed behind his agent and watched numbly as his agent chatted with the directors and investors.
He did not like such an occasion, but there was nothing he could do except to fake a smile and let them size him up.
“Director Lin, this is my business card.” The agent, Yang Qifeng, handed it over with both hands. “Remember to look for me if you have any vacancies.”
Director Lin nodded perfunctorily.
He put the business card between his palm and the bottom of the cup, letting the water drip down and wet it.
Jiang Ye caught this action.
He clenched his fists and waited for them to leave before gulping down an entire glass of wine in frustration.
“Jiang Ye, let’s go and look around.” Yang Qifeng did not get hung up on getting treated with cold attitudes and continued to look for more opportunities.
“Brother Qifeng, I want to take a breather.”
“Are you still thinking about getting some fresh air at a time like this?”
Jiang Ye was silent.
He knew his situation. If no director or investor liked him, he would most likely…
“Alright.” Yang Qifeng couldn’t stand looking at his gloomy expression. “I’ll give you ten minutes.”
Jiang Ye let out a breath. “Thank you.”
He put down his glass and walked to the garden. He leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.
Nicholas could suppress the frustration in his heart, but it couldn’t help him solve the problems.
Even though he could escape reality for the time being with the help of a cigar, he had to eventually go back to reality to face what was ahead of him.
“Hello.” A gentle female voice entered his ears.
Pei Yilan, who followed him over, took a long time to mentally prepare herself before daring to go forward to greet him.
Jiang Ye turned around and glanced at her indifferently.
Perhaps because he found her somewhat familiar, he stubbed out his cigarette and concealed his worried expression. “What do you want?”
“We met at Sycamore Street before. You said someone was chasing you, and then…”
Pei Yilan grabbed the corner of her dress tightly, her eyes filled with joy and nervousness. “Do you still remember?”
“I remember.” At first, Jiang Ye was uncertain. Now that she mentioned it, that scene appeared in front of him again.
He asked with a smile, “Are you also in the entertainment industry?”
“No.” Pei Yilan looked into his brown eyes, her heart racing. “I came with a friend.”
“I see.”
“Yes, my name is Pei Yilan.”
Seeing her extend a hand, Jiang Ye shook it and did not forget to introduce himself.
He looked at the banquet hall. “I’ll go in first.”
“Can we add each other on WeChat?” Pei Yilan mustered her courage and stood in front of him, praying in her heart that he would not reject her.
Jiang Ye hesitated before saying, “Sure.”
Pei Yilan, who had successfully added him, followed him back into the hall too.
From time to time, she would sneak a glance at Jiang Ye. Yang Qifeng, who happened to be looking for Jiang Ye, saw this scene.
He watched as Pei Yilan walked up to Pei Zhi and sat down next to him. He was shocked and quickly went to ask around to find out who Pei Yilan was.
When he found out about her relationship with Pei Zhi, he pulled Jiang Ye to a corner and asked anxiously, “Do you know President Pei’s niece?”
“Who?”
“The one on the sofa on the right.”
Jiang Ye looked in the direction he was pointing.
