156: Chapter 157 How about we go...
Suddenly, they realized something.
"Ah! Principal Wang is coming!" Leng Ba was the first to react.
Da Mimi's gaze swept quickly across her sisters at the table, who were in pajamas, with bare faces, and some even had pillow marks. "Are you planning to meet guests like this?"
Hearing this, the women subconsciously looked down at themselves.
Loose pajamas, messy hair, faces without makeup...
Zhu Xudan also instantly sobered up and wailed, "My dark circles! And this hair, it's like a bird's nest!"
Li Xibing stood up directly, "No, no, I have to go change. These pajamas are too casual."
Almost instantly, the beauties who had just been sitting there eating breakfast let out a small exclamation and then dashed back to their respective rooms with lightning speed.
Only Jiang Jing and Da Mimi were left in the living room.
Da Mimi was more experienced after all; although she was also wearing a bathrobe, her posture was relatively composed.
She smiled helplessly at Jiang Jing, "These girls..."
"Mr. Jiang, please sit for a moment, we... are going to tidy up." Da Mimi stood up first, flashing an apologetic yet charming smile, "We can't meet a guest like this."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Jing was the only one left by the dining table that had just been filled with beauties.
Women, as a species, truly have astonishing efficiency in certain aspects; Jiang Jing couldn't help but find it amusing.
From the rooms came a flurry of chaotic yet deliberately hushed sounds—the rustling of clothes being rummaged through, the clinking of makeup bottles, and whispered conversations.
"Has anyone seen my lipstick?"
"How is this dress?"
"Quick, help me fix my hair!"
Jiang Jing leaned back in his chair leisurely, listening to this background noise while scrolling through his phone, finding it quite interesting.
The room doors opened one after another, and when the female celebrities appeared in the living room again, it was a completely different scene.
Although not as grand as walking the red carpet, everyone had changed into appropriate, figure-flattering casual wear, applied delicate light makeup, and carefully styled their hair.
Each one was radiant again, though upon closer inspection, a trace of haste still lingered in their eyes.
Leng Ba wore a fresh floral dress, looking lively and cute; Da Mimi had changed into a form-fitting knit sweater and jeans, outlining her perfect curves, her queenly aura softened, and she appeared more approachable;
Tong Liya was in a simple white shirt dress, her temperament gentle and elegant; Nazha, Zhu Xudan, and Li Xibing were also dressed brightly and movingly.
For a moment, it felt like a small fashion show was being held in the living room, filled with the fragrance of perfume.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Leng Ba, who was closest to the door, walked quickly to the entrance, checked through the peephole, and opened the door.
Standing outside was Wang Congcong. He was dressed quite casually today, but it was clearly expensive designer streetwear.
As expected, he was carrying several shopping bags with luxury brand logos.
"Brother Congcong, please come in!" Leng Ba greeted with a smile.
"Leng Ba, am I disturbing you?" Wang Congcong walked in with a smile and naturally handed over the bags, "I came in a rush, just some small gifts for everyone to share, consider it an apology for my sudden visit."
"Oh my, you should have just come yourself, why bring things!" Leng Ba said politely, but she took them anyway.
Looking down, she saw the latest scarves, perfumes, and lipstick sets from a certain brand; they were valuable and very popular with women, clearly chosen with care.
Wang Congcong entered the room, his gaze quickly scanning the living room, instantly locking onto Jiang Jing, who was sitting on the main sofa and watching him leisurely.
A warm smile immediately piled up on his face. Ignoring the radiant female stars nearby, he strode directly toward Jiang Jing.
"This must be Mr. Jiang! I have long heard of your great name; it's like thunder to my ears! I am Wang Congcong!" He extended both hands, keeping his attitude very humble, "I apologize for the presumptuous visit today; my father insisted that I come to learn from you. Please, Mr. Jiang, do not take offense!"
This opening remark clarified his purpose while giving Jiang Jing plenty of face; he had put on a very good show.
However, the overly formal language felt a bit out of character; Jiang Jing actually preferred the Wang Congcong who famously trolled countless people on the big screen.
Jiang Jing also stood up and shook his hand with a smile, "Young Master Wang is too polite. I've heard your name for a long time and am glad to finally meet you today. No need for formalities, please sit; let's keep it casual."
"Alright, thanks!" Wang Congcong sat down and turned to Leng Ba with a smile, "Leng Ba, sorry for the intrusion!" Then he looked at Da Mimi, "Sister Mi, you've become even more beautiful! Thank you for the introduction!"
Then, he nodded to Tong Liya, Nazha, Zhu Xudan, and Li Xibing in turn, "Sister Liya, Nazha, Xudan, Xibing, you're all here? Long time no see, you all look even more stunning than before!"
This entire process was clear in order and courteous, highlighting Jiang Jing's absolute central position without neglecting anyone, fully demonstrating the seasoned social skills and high emotional intelligence of the Wanda young master.
"It is Principal Wang who has become better at speaking," Tong Liya responded with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Congcong." The other women greeted him as well, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
Wang Congcong was very good at setting the mood, closing the distance with just a few words.
Seeing that the timing was right, he proposed, "Mr. Jiang, ladies, sitting here is so boring. I know of a top-tier business KTV that just opened in Hengdian. The environment and sound system are first-class. Why don't we move the party there? My treat!"
However, his proposal was met with collective silence.
Looking at the expressions of the women, Jiang Jing couldn't help but chuckle, so he politely declined, "Let's skip the KTV; it's not suitable today."
Wang Congcong was a bit puzzled—why wasn't it suitable?
However, he nodded without asking further.
Da Mimi, acting as the representative, explained with a helpless smile, "Cong, it's not that we aren't giving you face, but we just had a girls' night yesterday and drank until we were dazed. These girls haven't recovered yet, so we really can't drink anymore."
Wang Congcong paused for a second, then suddenly realized, patting his head, "Look at my brain! I forgot you all had a gathering with Mr. Jiang. I understand, I understand! Then..."
He rubbed his chin, his eyes darting around, as he began to think quickly about what activities, other than drinking and singing, could be fun, build relationships, and especially demonstrate his abilities and connections in front of the new boss, Jiang Jing.
"If we aren't drinking... hmm..." Wang Congcong pondered, his gaze sweeping over the various beauties present, then looking at the calm and composed Jiang Jing, as several ideas flashed through his mind.
Should he organize a high-end tea gathering to chat? Or find a private club to play cards? Or... was there something fresher?
The living room went quiet, and everyone looked at Principal Wang, who was thinking hard, curious about what unconventional idea this party-lover could come up with.
Wang Congcong clapped his hands, seemingly having thought of a good idea, "I've got it..."
