Top beauties: Beijing bigwigs gathered at Shura Field

There was a dinner after the second half of the summit, so it was almost evening when it ended.

As a receptionist, naturally you need to see all the participants off before you complete your job.

By the time Jiang Wan had finished his work lunch, changed out of his reception clothes in the lounge and walked to the entrance of the hotel lobby, there were basically only staff members left in the hall.

She turned on her phone and the screen was still stuck on the chat interface with Shen Yan from more than ten minutes ago.

The other party asked her where she lived, which naturally meant that he wanted to take her home.

She declined and replied that someone would come to pick her up.

I don't know what message Shen Yan withdrew midway, and it was not until two minutes ago that he replied with two words: [Okay. ]

A smile appeared in Jiang Wan's eyes. She opened the chat box and was about to ask the man what he had withdrawn.

But at this moment, more and more slender figures suddenly appeared in her field of vision, and someone walked in front of her.

Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly raised her eyes and was met with a deep and unclear gaze.

She raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Do you... have something to do with me?"

From Fu Chi's angle, he could even clearly see the slight pink hue on the girl's soft and smooth face. Her dark and curled eyelashes were somehow wet, making her look particularly delicate.

However, even he himself could not explain why he stayed to wait for her, or why he walked up to her so rashly.

After being silent for several seconds, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just thought that this is the second time we meet, and you are acquainted with Shen Yan, so if you don't mind, I can take you home."

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes and chuckled.

"Oh? Then allow me to be a little curious, will you send home all the girls you have mutual friends with and meet for the second time?"

The girl's voice sounded more lingering as she slightly prolonged the ending tone. Fu Chi's thoughts paused for a moment, and he almost subconsciously denied it.

"I don't have that habit."

After he finished speaking, he quickly realized the ambiguity in his words and confessed in a deep voice: "Jiang Wan, although it may be strange to say this, I do feel that I should have seen you in the past. These few days I have been wondering where I have seen you, but... I have no clue."

The more he spoke, the more serious his tone became, but Jiang Wan's expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

She just looked at him quietly, and when he finished speaking, she spoke softly: "So what do you want to express by saying so much? Do you want to get to know me? Or do you fall in love with me at first sight?"

love at first sight?

Fu Chi's pupils shrank, and the restlessness in his heart seemed to disappear at this moment, replaced by an indescribable strange feeling that made his heart rate temporarily unbalanced.

His first reaction was not denial.

"I……"

Jiang Wan didn't wait for him to finish his words, but instead pursed her lips and smiled.

"You know my name is Jiang Wan, but I don't know your name. In fact, I don't want to know your name."

"What if I say I don't want to know you?"

The girl spoke slowly and calmly, words that made Fu Chi feel rejected for the first time in his life. However, her voice was very soft and gentle, with a hint of innocence.

Fu Chi frowned slowly, but did not show any displeasure.

He just felt an inexplicable suffocating feeling in his chest, so much so that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Only when he saw the girl taking a step to walk around him and leave, did his expression return to normal and his tone soften.

"I am the one who offended you. I apologize to you. Just treat what I said just now as my nonsense. Jiang Wan, I will take you home."

However, after he finished speaking, the girl did not respond for a moment, and her eyes... instead fell on a certain place behind him.

Fu Chi's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously turned around to look behind him, then stopped.

The tall figure standing at the edge of the hotel porch... turned out to be Xie Heng...

No one knew when the man arrived. He looked calm and composed as usual, but in fact, there was something obscure and even a little cold in his eyes, which were usually smiling.

He walked towards them slowly.

"Today is the first time I know that you, Fu Chi, have a hobby of sending girls you don't know home."

Fu Chi's expression had already become frozen when he saw him. When he was about to open his mouth, Xie Heng spoke again: "But it's a pity, I don't need to trouble you."

When he walked up to the two of them, he turned his eyes down to look at Jiang Wan and smiled.

"How's it going? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Jiang Wan shook his head.

"No, I just got better. Brother Heng, let's go. I'm a little tired."

Xie Heng nodded, but when he turned around, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Fu Chi who had an ugly expression on his face.

"It's not like I don't know her, actually. If I remember correctly, you saw Wanwan by my side last night, not long ago, right?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Chi to answer, he curled the corners of his lips and patted Fu Chi's shoulder lightly.

"Have a heart."

The footsteps of the two people became farther and farther away until they disappeared completely. Fu Chi slowly turned around and looked at the two people who got into the car in the distance one after another. His eyes became darker and gloomy.

How could he not know the hidden meaning in the man's words.

But so what.

He was indeed somewhat afraid of the Xie family.

But sooner or later there will be a day when he no longer needs to be as fearful as he is now.

So what if Xie Shiqian was the one who could blatantly use his power against the Fu family.

Xie Heng's car was parked next to the hotel porch. The two of them got in quickly and the dark black sedan drove out of the hotel exit.

Xie Heng held the steering wheel with one hand and turned it half a circle, then glanced at the girl in the passenger seat.

"Wanwan, do you know that man just now? Fu Chi."

There was no inquiring tone in the man's voice. Jiang Wan lowered her eyelashes and shook her head.

"I ran into him in a restaurant a few days ago, but I didn't know him."

Xie Heng's eyes flashed with contemplation, and he whispered, "There's no need to know him. If he bothers you in the future, just call me, okay?"

The coldness in the man's tone when he faced Fu Chi just now disappeared completely at some point, and instead it unconsciously carried a hint of coaxing.

Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't refute. She just nodded lightly with a soft nasal tone.

Obviously, she was indeed a little tired.

Xie Heng slowed down the car.

"Go get some sleep, Wanwan. I'll call you when we get there."

It was the evening rush hour and the hotel was nearly half an hour's drive from the address the girl gave, so she could indeed take a nap.

After Jiang Wan said hello, he slowly closed his eyes.

Only when he heard the girl's shallow breathing did Xie Heng's eyes gradually turn cold.

In the afternoon, he sent a message to Jiang Wan, saying that he had a meeting in the evening and might not be able to watch the live broadcast.

As a result, the girl said that she might not be able to do the live broadcast. She was working part-time as a receptionist at the economic summit held at the Wenji Hotel, and she was not sure what time it would be when she got home after the summit.

Without any hesitation, even though he was nearly fifty minutes' drive from the Wenji Hotel, he still said that he was near the Wenji Hotel and could take her home directly.

Fortunately, Jiang Wan did not refuse.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that he sent that message in the afternoon, otherwise I wouldn’t know that there was someone named Fu Chi who was thinking about her behind her back.

Thinking of this, he turned his head again to look at the girl's face beside him, which looked even more delicate and charming in the dim carriage, and smiled helplessly.

It's true... you have to be vigilant at all times.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived. Xie Heng lowered the car window and waited until the car was completely stable at the entrance of the community before waking up Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was originally just a light sleeper, not fully asleep. After rubbing his forehead with his hand, he unbuckled his seat belt and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Heng, for sending me home."

When she raised her eyes again, there was still a trace of fatigue and trance in her eyes, which, under the dim car lights, actually made her look somewhat charming.

Xie Heng's eyes dimmed and he remained silent for a while.

The space in the car was limited to begin with, and after they calmed down, both of them's senses were amplified at the right time, and the atmosphere around them naturally began to become a little ambiguous.

But the silence didn't last long.

Worried that the girl might feel uncomfortable, Xie Heng quickly came to his senses and asked, "Wanwan, why did you want to work as a receptionist part-time?"

Jiang Wan thought for a while before saying, "When I first came to Beijing, I didn't have much money. I met Sister Xi by chance. She had a conference reception studio, so I got this job. I didn't expect that she would suddenly start live streaming later."

"So, actually I went to the summit today mostly for other reasons. I majored in finance and was originally interested in this area, so I thought I could use this identity to study."

No wonder...

Her tone was calm, but Xie Heng's heart was slightly moved. He had already glimpsed some of the difficulties the girl had experienced in the past from these few words.

His throat rolled slightly, and he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he noticed another important point.

"Are you interested in the development project along the southern route?"

After all, he is a member of the Xie family, so the information he knows is somewhat richer than what can be made public.

Jiang Wan lowered his brows and spoke in an embarrassed tone.

"I can't say I'm interested in the project. I just like financial investment and want to take this opportunity to learn and broaden my horizons. This kind of opportunity is rare for me."

When the girl talked about this, her eyes, which had originally looked a little tired, became bright.

Xie Heng's eyes darkened as he listened. He really didn't expect that Jiang Wan had this side of him.

Jiang Wan had no intention of having a deeper conversation. After he finished speaking, he slightly turned sideways and opened the car door.

"Okay, Brother Heng, it's getting late. I should go home."

"Drive slowly."

Not until the dark shadow of the Porsche completely disappeared under the street lights did Jiang Wan slowly turn around and walk towards the community, the smile in his eyes gradually fading.

In her previous life, she had come into contact with a gifted person like Fu Chi, but it was just contact.

She had never really stepped into the so-called circle of power.

Now, the closer she gets to this circle, the more clearly she senses the gap that is as bottomless as an abyss.

All she can do is to use what she has to fight for everything she can, while protecting herself.

This is what investing is all about; high returns are always accompanied by high risks.

For her, the most effective way to reduce the risk is to make the other party...willingly hand over their lifeline to her.

Less than five minutes after entering the house, Jiang Wan received another video call from Yin Xi.

"Sister Xi, what's the matter?"

Yin Xi's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles on the screen.

"The brand gave me a message this afternoon saying that they accepted your request. I will send you the product-related information later. They said that you can express yourself freely. There is a filming location in the headquarters building. You just need to provide the finished video at the end. Whether it is accepted or not depends on fate."

"The high pay is one thing, but most importantly, this is indeed a good opportunity to break out of the live streaming circle and attract fans."

Jiang Wan curled his lips.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xi. I will treat you and Nan Chao to a feast in a couple of days."

Yin Xi said yes and asked if she would do a live broadcast tonight.

Jiang Wan suddenly sighed softly, leaned back on the sofa like a boneless person, and drooped his eyelashes.

"I also want to live stream, but live streaming must give them the best condition. I am really tired today and I feel like I can fall asleep as soon as I touch the bed. I'd better live stream tomorrow night. If we schedule to shoot during the day tomorrow, I don't know when we will finish shooting."

Her tone rarely showed a hint of pity and grievance. Yin Xi felt a sinking feeling in her heart even through the screen. She hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you should have a good rest. Tomorrow will not be an easy day."

But after she finished speaking, she remembered something and sighed softly.

"Those fans of yours who can't wait to see you every day will probably protest."

*

The fans were indeed very disappointed when they received the news in the fan group, not to mention that Jiang Wan didn’t post any new updates on Weibo tonight.

Thinking about the fact that they have been deprived of spiritual food for a whole day and don’t know if they can see anyone tomorrow night, many fans couldn’t help but start looking for comfort in the real-time area of ​​the entry “Wanwan Live” on Weibo.

[Wow, wow, wow, I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t watch the live broadcast for only one hour every night, not to mention that I can’t see him for almost a day or two now. How is this different from a short-term breakup?]

[I don’t know how many times I’ve played the video and pictures, but the more I play them, the more I want to see them]

[I feel like I won’t be able to sleep tonight, ah]

[Wife, wife, you said yes that you wanted to see us too. I was hooked by you all day long and I got used to it. But you suddenly changed. I cried my eyes out.]

[If I really can’t help it, I’ll post two selfies for your little fans to see, the kids are really hungry @莞莞]

[That’s right, the photos my wife took must still be in stock, right? Please, please send two of them out. I will come back to life right here and fall asleep. Otherwise, I always feel like I haven’t done anything today and I just can’t sleep. @莞莞]

There are many fans who directly @Jiang Wan’s account, but unfortunately the person could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep after taking a shower.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when fans finally realized that there was unlikely to be any news tonight, so they had to give up their thoughts for the time being and wait patiently for the next day.

But what they never expected was that at exactly ten o'clock, someone suddenly saw a video posted by a brand new account in the real-time area of ​​the entry.

Logically speaking, no one would pay attention to a Weibo post from a new account with no fans, but the cover of the video... turned out to be the girl they had been thinking about all day.

And...it was a scene they had never seen before.
