27: The three women met

Zhenjun Pavilion

When they arrived, many people were already there. The signed Streamers had arrived early, a flock of beautiful women dressed in light summer clothes, standing at the entrance to welcome the boss.

Uncle Li respectfully opened the car door. Jiang Chuan was the first to step out. Before he could speak, everyone said in unison:

"Hello, President Jiang!"

Jiang Chuan, with all his experience, didn't feel much about this scene. He smiled and said:

"No need to be so polite, everyone. It's so hot outside; if you beautiful women get sunburnt, it would be a great sin on my part. Hurry inside the restaurant."

Liu Jiayi was the most lively and proactive among them.

Holding a parasol to shade the boss, she wanted to take the opportunity to get close. She giggled and said:

"How can we compare to you, President Jiang? Please, after you."

Jiang Chuan didn't refuse, but he pulled Tan Jing out to stand under the parasol with him.

He let her shade both of them while encouraging her, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Jiayi. Let's head in."

Liu Jiayi's flattering smile slowly stiffened. She couldn't just leave, so she ended up shooting herself in the foot. Clenching her teeth, she respectfully held the umbrella for the two of them.

The others were originally quite annoyed by Liu Jiayi's behavior, feeling she was hogging the spotlight.

But seeing this scene, they all kept straight faces to avoid laughing out loud.

Xu Huaze and the others, who had just gotten out of the car, had never seen such a scene. Beautiful women of various styles were competing to please Jiang Chuan.

Envious tears drooled from the corners of Xu Huaze's mouth. He felt he had found a goal to strive for his entire life.

Tang Ke was a club president after all and had met all kinds of people, so she wasn't surprised. She was just worried for her senior.

There were too many competitors. How could her senior, with her weak personality, win against them?

"I must help Senior snatch Jiang Chuan! I can't let these flashy vixens get their way!"

Tang Ke clenched her small fists and vowed in her heart. She was going to be a staunch supporter of the Tang-Jiang faction!

Everyone entered the restaurant one after another. Jiang Chuan had booked two private rooms: one for the Streamers' gathering and one for the company employees.

The Streamers had arrived early and were all present. Jiang Chuan arranged for a waiter to lead them to their room and then stopped worrying about them.

As soon as they entered, Tang Ke snatched her senior away and whispered:

"Senior! There are too many women around Jiang Chuan. We need a plan. I'll definitely help you!"

Tan Jing also felt a strong sense of crisis, but she felt these women were nothing. Shen Qingning was the truly insurmountable mountain.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Moreover, it wasn't just one mountain that arrived, but two.

Shen Qingning's group and Lin Shuyi actually walked into the restaurant together.

Shen Qingning was dressed in formal attire: a white shirt, trousers, black high heels, and an LV bag on her shoulder.

Her long hair was tied up high, and the top button of her shirt was undone, revealing her delicate collarbone adorned with a white four-leaf clover necklace.

Her expression exuded a noble and cold aura. This wasn't a temperament that could be cultivated in an ordinary family; the nobility and elegance she radiated from the inside out made people afraid to look her in the eye.

Lin Shuyi was dressed very freshly: a simple white short-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt.

Her simple outfit, combined with her perfect pear-shaped figure, gave off a strong sense of pure desire.

She always had a smile on her face, making people feel that being in the same space as her would make them happier. She was very infectious, looking like a pure, beautiful girl who had just stepped off a college campus.

The first thing both of them did upon entering was look for Jiang Chuan. After seeing him, they walked toward him in unison.

How could Jiang Chuan care about a mere Shura Field? He walked over with a very natural smile:

"Sister Ning, Xiao Yi, what a coincidence. You two actually arrived together."

Shen Qingning naturally knew about Xiao Yi, the young girl who had countless online rumors with Jiang Chuan, and she observed her curiously.

Lin Shuyi felt the woman before her had a very strong aura, but she was an optimist.

She hadn't been stage-frightened when she first met Jiang Chuan, so she certainly wasn't now. She said sweetly:

"Sister Ning, hello! I'm Lin Shuyi. You can just call me Xiao Yi!"

Shen Qingning felt a slight discomfort in her heart. She knew their relationship was just for a script—she had even participated in the discussions for the subsequent plans.

But seeing how beautiful the other girl was, she felt a bit of resistance for some reason.

Suppressing her emotions, she nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Shen Qingning!"

Jiang Chuan didn't give them much chance to chat. He smiled and said, "Everyone's here. I'll take you to the private room, and we can talk more once we're seated."

Shen Jincheng keenly felt that his Older Sister's mood wasn't quite right. He became much more well-behaved, fearing he might annoy her, and followed quietly behind.

It was different for Tang Ke. She was busy chattering away, coming up with strategies for her senior, when she suddenly saw the two beauties who looked like goddesses descended from heaven.

Her words came to an abrupt halt. She didn't know what kind of strategy would be needed to snatch Jiang Chuan away from them.

Tan Jing naturally saw the two women as well. She wasn't insecure about her looks, but her family background made her feel very inferior.

She felt that the two women in front of her were the ones who truly matched the current Jiang Chuan. She silently lowered her head and fidgeted with her skirt.

Jiang Chuan took Shen Qingning and the others to the employees' room and told Shen Jincheng to take good care of everyone.

He returned to the lobby and, seeing the dejected Tan Jing with her head down, reached out and pulled her up.

Ignoring Tang Ke, who was watching the show, he held her hand and whispered:

"I'll take you to the Streamers' room. You'll all be colleagues in the future, so let's get acquainted first."

Looking at their joined hands, Tan Jing felt much more at ease. She nodded heavily and followed him upstairs.

Tang Ke was stunned. She looked left and right; she was the only one left in the lobby, and she didn't know where to go.

Logically, she should go to the employees' room, but her senior was going to the Streamers' room. She stood there indecisively, feeling for the second time that she shouldn't have come to this damn gathering.

In the Streamers' room, the conversation was lively. Three women make a play, let alone seven.

The two boys couldn't get a word in. The women were all chirping about President Jiang.

Jiang Chuan pushed open the door, and everyone looked over. Instantly, silence fell.

It was extremely quiet, like the feeling when a homeroom teacher suddenly walks in during class.

Jiang Chuan guided Tan Jing into a chair and instructed the group:

"I'll leave Xiao Jing to you. I'm going to have a meeting over there. Liu Jiayi, you're responsible for taking care of Xiao Jing."

Seeing her nod in agreement, he let go of her small hand and walked out of the room.

Everyone had already realized at the restaurant entrance that the relationship between the two was unusual.

Now that President Jiang had spoken, since they had no hope of becoming the boss's wife, they naturally had to flatter the boss's wife.

Except for Liu Jiayi, who sat there with a reluctant face, everyone else crowded around to chat, acting like sisters who had known each other for years.

Tan Jing had very few friends and didn't know what to do.

She could only answer whatever they asked, like a mindless reading pen, responding wherever they pointed.

By the time Jiang Chuan returned to the employees' room, the dishes were almost all served. After entering, he felt someone was missing. After counting several times, he remembered Tang Ke wasn't there.

He went back to the lobby, brought up the still-conflicted Tang Ke, and, panting with exhaustion, took a large gulp of water.

"Old Second, you're so thoughtless. I'm exhausted, and you didn't even help me host. All you know is how to eat!"

Shen Jincheng was currently wrestling with a rib on his plate. Hearing this, he looked up blankly and said:

"I asked you when I entered the restaurant, and didn't you tell me you didn't need me to..."

Jiang Chuan said crossly, "You talk too much. Even eating can't shut your mouth!"

Shen Jincheng: ???
