157: Chapter 158 Let's play golf!

Wang Congcong rubbed his chin, his gaze shifting between Jiang Jing and the several actresses. "Drinking is bad for your health, and singing is noisy. How about we switch to a healthier and more elegant activity?"

"I know there's a very nice golf course nearby. The environment is private, and the facilities are top-notch. I happen to know the owner, so a quick word from me can get everything arranged."

He looked at Jiang Jing, his tone inquiring. "President Jiang, for an executive at your level, there must be no shortage of social engagements."

"Golf is a great sport. You can chat while swinging the club—it's relaxed and comfortable, and it provides exercise, too. Many business deals and friendships are made on the golf course."

He turned to the ladies and added with a smile, "If you beauties haven't played before, it doesn't matter. Just think of it as an outing to relax. The scenery at the course is beautiful and perfect for taking photos. Plus, there are coaches who can teach you the basics; it's quite fun."

This suggestion immediately received mixed reactions.

Jiang Jing nodded. "Sure, I don't have any objections." He didn't have much interest in the sport itself, but as Wang Congcong said, it was indeed a suitable venue for socializing and chatting. Besides, he had nothing else to do, so going to play was fine.

Upon hearing this, the actresses also felt it was better than going to drink or sing again.

They might not be experts at golf, but the sport came with "high-end" and "elegant" labels. There was no harm in experiencing it, especially since the venue had beautiful scenery and they could take photos to post on their Moments.

"Golf? That sounds interesting. I've never tried it before." Leng Ba was the first to express curiosity.

"Sounds good. It's better than going to drink again." Nazha agreed, rubbing her still-throbbing temples.

"Mm, going out for some fresh air is nice too." Tong Liya gently echoed.

Zhu Xudan and Li Xibing also nodded, expressing their approval of this fresh proposal.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Da Mimi made the final decision. "Alright, let's listen to Principal Wang and go play golf. Let's all go change into clothes that are easy to move in." She specifically glanced at her sisters, implying they should dress in a way that was both sporty and attractive.

Everyone returned to their respective rooms to prepare briefly.

Before long, several cars drove out from under Leng Ba's apartment building, heading toward the top-tier golf club located in the suburbs of Hengdian.

In the motorcade, Jiang Jing and Wang Congcong naturally rode in the same car. The interior space was spacious and comfortable, shutting out the noise from the outside.

Wang Congcong reined in the playfulness he usually showed in front of others, his tone becoming more serious. "President Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you this time. My father specifically instructed me to convey his greetings to you and said he is very much looking forward to future opportunities for cooperation."

He was smart enough not to directly mention the specific details of the change in ownership of Qianda Film, instead approaching it from the perspective of cooperation.

Jiang Jing leaned back against the leather seat, his expression relaxed. "President Wang is too polite. Qianda Film is a benchmark for domestic cinema chains, and it is my honor to take it over. In the future, I will need a lot of support from veterans like your team who are familiar with the business."

His words gave the other party face while also implying that he might rely on the original management team in the future, which served as a reassurance.

Because he didn't need to care who managed it; as long as they were working for Jiang Jing, their loyalty would be 100%.

Wang Congcong breathed a sigh of relief, his smile becoming more sincere. "Don't worry, President Jiang. By the way, your 'huanyan beauty serum' is truly miraculous. My mother used it and said it was great. Now, she's asking everywhere and can't even buy it..."

The conversation naturally shifted to the beauty serum and current commercial hot topics, and the two chatted quite congenially.

Although Wang Congcong was known for his image as an [Internet celebrity] and a [rich second generation], he had been influenced by his environment since childhood. His business sense and ability to steer conversation were not bad; he knew very well how to play along and keep the conversation flowing, ensuring the atmosphere remained pleasant.

Meanwhile, in another car, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Da Mimi and Leng Ba were sitting together. Looking at Leng Ba, who seemed still a little excited about trying a new sport, Da Mimi couldn't help but lean closer to her, lowering her voice, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness:

"Leng Ba, don't just focus on playing. You need to hurry up and finalize the agency rights with President Jiang. It's best to find an opportunity to talk about it formally today."

Leng Ba was stunned for a moment. "Ah? Is it that urgent? I think President Jiang seems..."

"Not urgent?" Da Mimi interrupted her, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. "My silly girl, haven't you seen the situation clearly yet? In the past, he might have just been rich and had magical products."

"But what about now? He acquired Qianda Film! What does this mean? It means that in one hand, he holds a miraculous artifact that makes people beautiful, and with the other, he has directly grabbed the 'heart' of so many stars, directors, and production companies in the industry!"

She lowered her voice even more, speaking faster. "This news cannot be hidden at all; it will soon spread throughout the entire circle! By then, the number of women eyeing him and wanting to get close to him will exceed your imagination!"

"Those prettier than you, with better figures than you, more savvy than you, and even those who are willing to go all out and do anything... how long do you think you can maintain your advantage?"

Da Mimi watched Leng Ba's expression gradually become solemn and continued earnestly, "Take my advice. While he still has a good impression of you and President Ma's favor is still there, hurry up and sign the agency contract, and secure your status! These are the real, tangible things! Don't wait for complications to arise; you'll be too late to cry by then! I'm only telling you this because I treat you as one of my own."

After listening, Leng Ba completely lost the mood to play and nodded vigorously. "I understand, Sister Mi. Thank you for reminding me. I will find an opportunity to talk to him." She realized the urgency of the matter far exceeded her imagination.

Meanwhile, in the car with Tong Liya and Nazha, it was a different scene.

Nazha blinked her large eyes, observing Tong Liya, whose temperament seemed increasingly gentle and who had an indescribable, languid charm in her eyes and brows. She tentatively spoke up, "Sister Ya, I feel like you are... um... radiant today? Your skin seems even better. Is that the effect of President Jiang's beauty serum?" She deliberately steered the conversation toward Jiang Jing.

How shrewd was Tong Liya? How could she not hear Nazha's probing?

She smiled slightly, her smile impeccable, and raised her hand to tuck the stray hair behind her ear. "Is that so? Maybe I just slept well yesterday. The effect of the beauty serum is indeed good, but it's not that magical."

She perfectly shifted the focus of the conversation away from herself, affirming the product without revealing any private information.

Nazha made a few more indirect inquiries, but Tong Liya easily deflected them with a soft, skillful touch, answering in such a watertight way that no one could find any fault or handle to grab onto.

Looking at Tong Liya, who was as gentle as water yet completely impenetrable, Nazha sighed helplessly in her heart, secretly worrying for Leng Ba:

'It's over, it's over. That silly Leng Ba, how can she compete with vixen-like figures like Sister Mi and Sister Ya, who have cultivated for a thousand years...'
