Chapter 394 Honey, you keep this for me

Inside the venue, countless celebrities who had been keeping an eye on this corner watched as Yang Mi and the other women chatted and laughed with Jiang Jing so naturally.

That level of intimacy and familiarity couldn't be faked, and envy and jealousy welled up in all their hearts.

"Look at how happily they're chatting with Jiang Jing..."

"If only I could go over and say a few words too..."

"Sigh, people have different fates..."

How they wished that the person standing by Jiang Jing's side could be them.

Jiang Jing was having a pleasant conversation with Yang Mi and the other women, and the atmosphere in the corner was relaxed and joyful.

At this moment, Pony Ma led a group of people over, breaking the tranquility of this small circle.

"Chairman Jiang, ladies, chatting?" Pony Ma said with a warm smile on his face.

He then greeted Yang Mi, Leng Ba, and the others familiarly.

Holding his wine glass, he sat on the other side of Jiang Jing and gestured toward the distinguished-looking middle-aged men and women following behind him, saying to Jiang Jing: "Chairman Jiang, these are all industry leaders. They have long admired you and wanted to take this opportunity to greet you and get to know you. What do you think...?"

Jiang Jing looked in the direction Pony Ma indicated.

He saw those big bosses who usually dominated their respective fields, now wearing easygoing smiles on their faces.

One after another, they raised their wine glasses, greeting him from afar.

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Jing's face, and he raised his glass in return.

He had never been the kind of idiot who liked to put on airs everywhere, terrified that others wouldn't know how awesome he was.

In his view, true strength was internal and didn't need to be demonstrated through external arrogance.

Making friends was always better than making enemies everywhere.

Of course, this easygoing attitude had a bottom line; if someone didn't know their place and provoked him, he would never be polite and would definitely strike back with thunderous force.

As for these bosses who were actively showing goodwill, he naturally wouldn't be stingy in giving a friendly response.

As for whether he actually looked up to them in his heart, that was another matter; superficial pleasantries still had to be performed.

Seeing Jiang Jing return the smile, the smiles on those bosses' faces grew even brighter.

They came over to Jiang Jing's side, and the one with the highest status took a step forward to speak first.

"Chairman Jiang, I've long admired your name! I am Wang Zhongjun from Huayi Brothers. It is truly a great honor to meet you today!" a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a steady aura said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Wang Changtian from Enlight Media. Your achievements are breathtaking!"

"Chairman Jiang, I am Yu Dong from Bona Film Group..."

Several big shots stepped forward one by one, enthusiastically introducing themselves to Jiang Jing, their words filled with the intention to build a connection.

Jiang Jing kept a smile on his face the whole time, listening to their introductions and nodding from time to time to show he understood.

His attitude was neither too warm nor too cold; it was just right.

After the round of introductions, the bosses habitually took out beautifully crafted gold-stamped business cards from their pockets and handed them to Jiang Jing with both hands.

This was the most basic etiquette in business settings.

However, Jiang Jing looked at the business cards handed to him but didn't reach out to take them.

He turned his gaze to Yang Mi beside him and said casually: "Mimi, you keep them for me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Yang Mi was noticeably taken aback, but immediately, the look she gave Jiang Jing became incredibly soft, and she boldly gave him a coquettish glance.

She was a smart woman and immediately understood the deep meaning behind Jiang Jing's action.

With Yang Mi's current status, although she was a celebrity turned boss, her weight was still slightly insufficient in front of these deeply entrenched industry giants.

Under normal circumstances, these big shots' business cards should have been handed directly to Jiang Jing himself.

But Jiang Jing specifically had her take them.

This seemingly casual action contained an enormous amount of information.

This was clearly declaring to everyone: Yang Mi is my person; she can represent me in handling some matters; she has enough weight and trust with me.

This was undoubtedly invisibly backing Yang Mi up in front of everyone.

From now on, when insiders handled affairs related to Yang Mi, they would have to carefully consider Jiang Jing, who stood behind her.

This would invisibly bring countless conveniences and invisible protection to Yang Mi's future career.

A warm current surged in Yang Mi's heart, and she was incredibly grateful for this quiet pampering from Jiang Jing.

She reached out gracefully, smiling as she took the business cards from the bosses' hands, her movements elegant and composed: "Thank you, bosses. I will accept these business cards on behalf of Jiang Jing."

Which of those bosses wasn't a seasoned veteran?

With just this one light sentence from Jiang Jing, they instantly tasted the meaning behind it.

Smiles quickly piled up on their faces again, and they all turned to Yang Mi, as if she were the main protagonist.

"Boss Yang, you're too polite!"

"I've long heard that Boss Yang is exceptionally capable, and now that you're a boss yourself, you're doing even better. We must cooperate more in the future!"

"Yes, yes, Boss Yang, there will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

For a time, the big shots surrounded Yang Mi, as if they had met old friends they hadn't seen in years, expressing their cooperation intentions with absolute clarity.

At this moment, Yang Mi displayed the high emotional intelligence and skill of "Boss Yang."

Speaking with her iconic little milky voice, her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, and she handled everything flawlessly.

She accepted their goodwill while maintaining just the right amount of humility: "You bosses are too kind. It is I who should learn more from you seniors. If there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, it will be my honor."

She knew deeply that humility would never be wrong in any situation, but behind this humility was the strong backing Jiang Jing had given her.

The bosses chatted enthusiastically with Yang Mi for a while, leaving their contact information, mainly for Yang Mi.

After having a small drink with Jiang Jing, they left, satisfied.

Although they couldn't directly contact this big Buddha, Jiang Jing, at all times, being able to establish a good relationship with Yang Mi was almost enough to achieve their purpose.

After all, Yang Mi was rooted in the entertainment industry and was very easy to contact.

They had plenty of ways to show goodwill to Jiang Jing through Yang Mi, and the prospects for future cooperation seemed bright.

Pony Ma took all of this in, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

He leaned close to Jiang Jing and teased in a low voice: "Chairman Jiang, your way of supporting people is truly subtle and effective—high level, truly high level!"

Jiang Jing glanced at him, smiling without saying a word.

Pony Ma also knew his boundaries well; seeing that his goal was achieved, he didn't stay any longer.

With a smile, he said "You guys chat" and then turned and left, returning the space to Jiang Jing and the ladies.

After all, his purpose had been achieved; he had successfully connected those capitals with Jiang Jing, which made the kickbacks they gave him worth it...

This scene was seen clearly by countless pairs of eyes quietly watching inside the venue.

Especially those female celebrities, watching Yang Mi not only able to stand by Jiang Jing's side and chat and laugh, but also gain such a special status and position, their eyes burned with intense light.

It was a mix of envy and jealousy.
