Of course, Jiang Wan didn't expect that Xie Heng guessed that Jiang Xu was scolding me for rebounding just by looking at the name.

But she didn't hide it and nodded directly.

"Yeah, Brother Xu did scold me for rebounding."

Her voice was as soft and sweet as ever, with a gentle tone, so the name she read out also inexplicably carried a hint of lingering meaning.

Xie Heng's expression didn't change much, but his eyes became a little deeper.

Seeing that the girl's phone was still vibrating, he bent his lower lip and whispered, "It's okay, you answer it first."

Jiang Wan raised the corners of her eyes slightly and pressed the answer button directly.

Of course, the hands-free function was not turned on.

A familiar voice soon came from the other end.

Perhaps because they were separated by the phone, Jiang Xu's voice seemed even warmer and calmer, as if he was whispering in her ear.

"Wanwan, is the ceremony over?"

Jiang Wan hummed softly: "Have you been watching the live broadcast?"

So I turned on the phone exactly three minutes after the ceremony ended.

Jiang Xu: "Yeah. Are you ready to go home now?"

Jiang Wan: "Oh, don't worry, Sister Xi, who I mentioned to you last time, will take me home."

Of course she knew that the man called because he was worried about the safety of her trip.

that's the truth.

Jiang Xu has been watching live broadcasts for a while, so he naturally knows how complicated this circle is. This is Jiang Wan's first time attending such an occasion, so he needs to make sure that she hasn't encountered any trouble.

However, Jiang Xu also knew that it would not be convenient for Jiang Wan to chat more at this time, so after hearing the girl say that she had got in the car, he only asked her to tell him when she got home and hung up the phone.

The entire call took less than two minutes, but the information revealed made Xie Heng pause for a moment.

He naturally didn't expect that the other party would have met Jiang Wan earlier than him in such a short time, so he just lowered his eyelashes and said softly:

"Wanwan, even though he is also the manager of your live broadcast room, I still want to remind you to remember to stay vigilant."

"It's hard to say... Could he be someone with ulterior motives?"

He applied eye drops to Jiang Xu without changing his expression, but Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her eyes to meet the man's calm gaze and whispered, "What about Brother Heng? Are you someone with ulterior motives?"

In the carriage which was slightly darker than outside, the girl's eyes, which were already faintly crimson in color, became even more upturned as she looked at him. Her ink-black eyes were moist and clear as if covered with a layer of mist, as if they could penetrate his heart.

Xie Heng was distracted for a moment, and when he was about to answer, he saw the girl curled up the corners of her lips again, with a smile in her eyes.

"I'm just kidding."

"Don't worry, Brother Heng. I know what I am doing."

Xie Heng's eyes paused for a moment, then he laughed silently.

"Okay, it's getting late. You guys go home and have a safe trip."

Looking at the man's gradually disappearing figure in the rearview mirror, Yin Xi couldn't help but smile and sigh.

"I never thought that someone like Xie Heng would have this side."

Jiang Wan heard the key and chuckled: "Sister Xi, do you know him?"

Yin Xi nodded, turned the steering wheel half a circle to the left and drove out of the underground parking lot.

"More than that, no one in the powerful circle of Beijing City would not know Xie Heng. Of course, no one would not know his brother Xie Shiqian either."

"Xie Shiqian?"

Jiang Wan felt that the name sounded familiar.

It's the kind of thing that you've heard or even seen before, but it also sounds very distant and familiar.

Perhaps hearing the curiosity in Jiang Wan's tone, Yin Xi quickly continued, "Yes, Wan Wan, you are not from Beijing, and people like them are always kept secret, so it's normal that you don't know Xie Shiqian."

"People like him are indeed a little far away from us."

However, Yin Xi changed the subject and said with a smile, "So, I still haven't reacted to what happened just now."

Jiang Wan nodded thoughtfully, and felt that the name sounded more and more familiar.

After thinking about it, he opened his phone and typed Xie Shiqian's name on the search interface.

There are almost no photos of the man on the Internet, but in almost every search result, the name Xie Shiqian is followed by the words "Finance Department".

Jiang Wan's heartbeat slowed down. How could he not know the identity of this man?

Yin Xi seemed to remember something and changed the subject.

"By the way, Wanwan, I was originally planning to choose a dress from two designer brands, but the brand owner of "Fu Sheng" suddenly contacted me and offered to provide a dress, saying that... because their designer is a fan of your live broadcast room."

"It was only when you were in the backstage just now that I realized that the fan the brand staff was talking about was actually Yuzu."

Song Youning is now the manager of Jiang Wan's fan group, so Yin Xi had of course already taken the initiative to add her on WeChat.

But Yin Xi never expected that the other party would be one of the designers of "Fu Sheng", which is known as the preferred brand of domestic formal wear other than haute couture.

She originally thought that Song Youning and Jiang Wan should be about the same age.

Jiang Wan was also a little surprised.

Without hesitation, she opened WeChat, clicked on Youzi's chat box, and sent her a message of thanks.

Song Youning was sitting by the corridor to rest when he received the news. The surrounding area was complete with pavilions, corridors and terraces, all with garden-style carvings and paintings.

Recalling the girl wearing the dress she designed two years ago during the live broadcast, Song Youning couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Just as she was about to reply, her mother Ji He's voice came from not far away: "This girl has started again. I don't know what's wrong with her recently. She stares at her phone all day long."

"Mom, what did you say?"

After all, this wasn't her own home, and Song Youning felt a little embarrassed that her mother was exposing her shortcomings in front of Mr. Ji.

But Mr. Ji was smiling.

"It's normal for a little girl to fall in love now that she's grown up."

fall in love?

Song Youning opened her lips to deny it, but saw Old Man Ji suddenly sigh.

"It's better to talk about it now than to end up like Xing Jing, who didn't see any signs of progress in all these years."

Ji Xingjing.

Song Youning closed her lips instantly.

When she heard the name, she was instinctively frightened, thinking to herself that no girl would dare to have anything to do with Ji Xingjing.

In fact, she and Ji Xingjing are close relatives, so she should call Ji Xingjing cousin.

My grandfather and my old man were brothers, and their old houses were next to each other. After my grandfather passed away, my mother often came to visit my old man. Logically, she should feel closer to him.

But on the contrary, Song Youning herself couldn't explain why, but she had been afraid of Ji Xingjing since she was a child. She would hide away whenever she saw him from afar. She always felt that it was easy to feel exposed when he looked at her directly, and her little thoughts would be seen clearly by him.

Ji Xingjing may sound like a rather innocent name, but he is actually known to be ruthless, cold-hearted and profit-oriented.

Of course, from another perspective, Ji Xingjing controls the lifeline of Junjian Capital. If he is not hundreds of levels higher than ordinary people, he will not be able to hold this position firmly.

In short, every time she came with her mother to visit the old man, she would ask Ji Xingjing in advance whether he had returned to the old house.

However, it is obvious that people are like this. The more they fear something, the more it will come.

A few days ago, when she came with her mother to visit the old man, Ji Xingjing not only came back, but also happened to run into her staring at Wanwan's live broadcast while giving gifts crazily.

Fortunately, the man didn't say anything and left with a step.

Hearing his mother still comforting the old man, Song Youning shook his head, thought no more, and quickly replied to Jiang Wan's message.

On the other side, when Jiang Wan turned on his mobile phone again, he had already returned home.

Unexpectedly, just after she replied to Youzi and said hello to the two men, a long-lost mechanical sound came to her ears without any warning.

"Congratulations, Jiang Wan, your likability has successfully reached 10%."

"I need to remind you that when your popularity value changes, the chain effects caused by many factors will also be caused by you. After tonight, the world plot will start early."

"Jiang Wan, I wish you good luck."

This voice was as calm and emotionless as the last time.

After the last word was uttered, the surroundings instantly returned to normal.

Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly understood the meaning of the words just now.

Since the likeability value has changed, it means that everything she has done so far is in the right direction.

The fact that the world plot starts early further illustrates this point.

If what she does has no impact on the plot, it means it is useless.

But... this also means that Meng Shuyi will probably target her soon.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan silently curved her eyes, a delicate moisture appeared at the corners of her eyes, and a subtle excitement slowly arose in her heart.

Suddenly, he thought of something, picked up his phone and opened Yin Xi's chat box.

[Sister Xi, have you heard about the development project along the southern line of Beijing? Or, the news about the bidding for the Beijing South International Airport project.]

The other party was obviously a little surprised. He showed that he was typing several times, but finally called directly.

"Wan Wan, why do you care about this?"
