Chapter 139 The show begins
The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, the car had stopped in front of the hotel.
The driver got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for the two of them.
Jiang Yang got out of the car first, then reached out to help Zhou Limin.
Zhou Limin linked arms with him, her demeanor elegant.
The two walked side by side toward the hotel entrance.
Zhou Limin took out the invitation from her delicate handbag and handed it to the security guard at the door.
After a thorough inspection, the security guard respectfully allowed them to pass.
The two entered the hotel lobby, and Zhou Limin whispered to Jiang Yang, "This hotel is one of the best in Beijing. You'll definitely need to entertain guests a lot when you start your business, so you should familiarize yourself with this kind of place to prepare for the future."
Jiang Yang nodded: "Understood."
He looked around and saw people gathered in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
Several well-dressed young women saw Zhou Limin and immediately surrounded her, chattering away.
They glanced at Jiang Yang from time to time, their eyes filled with inquiry, and occasionally they would cover their mouths and whisper among themselves.
Jiang Yang observed his surroundings discreetly, guessing that the girls were definitely gossiping about his relationship with Zhou Limin.
He maintained a polite smile, neither humble nor arrogant, exuding composure and confidence in every gesture.
Zhou Limin chatted enthusiastically with the girls, seemingly forgetting Jiang Yang's presence entirely.
"Jiang Yang, I'm going to chat with my girlfriends. You find a place to rest and have something to eat, I'll come find you in a bit," she said to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
He smiled and walked to the side, calmly took a glass of red wine, and selected a few exquisite pastries, his manners elegant and proper.
The women around Zhou Limin were all taken aback when they saw this.
"Li Min, are you sure he's a college graduate from a rural area? And an entrepreneur?"
One of the women, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with exquisite makeup, asked incredulously.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Zhou Limin was also somewhat puzzled.
How could Jiang Yang's movements be so standard if he hadn't received several years of training?
Did he hide something before?
But based on her understanding of Jiang Yang, he shouldn't spend money on this...
Could it be... a rare talent?
"It's nothing, I just think he has a very elegant demeanor, unlike someone from a typical rural area," another woman said.
“Maybe he studied it before,” Zhou Limin changed the subject, unwilling to explain further.
Jiang Yang found a quiet corner to sit down and slowly savored the snacks.
He seemed oblivious to the curious glances from those around him, focusing solely on the food in his hands.
At this moment, several well-dressed young men walked over and went straight to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang noticed someone approaching, looked up, and calmly stared at them.
"So you're Jiang Yang?" the leading man asked arrogantly.
Jiang Yang put down the pastry in his hand, elegantly wiped his mouth, and then spoke: "It's me. May I ask what's the matter?"
"I've heard so much about you, but I never imagined you'd be someone who starts something and then abandons it," the man said coldly, mockingly.
"Even if you are very successful in your business, your character is still flawed."
The people behind him echoed his sentiments, their tone filled with disdain.
Jiang Yang remained calm and smiled faintly: "Don't just listen to one side of the story. You will all be in charge of family affairs in the future. How can your families feel at ease if things are like this?"
The expressions of the group changed slightly. The man in the lead wanted to refute him, but then he felt that what he said made sense.
He paused, then softened his tone: "Then tell me, what exactly is going on? Anyone can see that your relationship with Zhou Limin is unusual."
Jiang Yang took a sip of red wine and asked calmly, "Whose family are you from?"
"The Guo family of the capital," the man said proudly.
"The Guo family? I know them, they're a second-tier family," Jiang Yang said casually.
"You said I started something and then abandoned it... Could it be that Su Jingtong told you that?"
He paused, a playful smile curving his lips: "Besides, Su Jingtong should have dated you, right?"
Upon hearing the words "second-tier family," Guo Wei felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
But Jiang Yang's next words stunned him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You...how do you know?"
Jiang Yang chuckled: "Normally, people wouldn't come looking for trouble so directly. If someone comes looking for trouble, it's because they feel they have a conflict with the other party."
His gaze was sharp as he looked directly at Guo Wei: "The only person who could say something like 'starting a relationship and then abandoning it,' and who could possibly have a conflict with me... I can't think of any other possibility besides having dated Su Jingtong."
Guo Wei was completely stunned.
This kid actually has such strong insight that he could see through his relationship with Su Jingtong at a glance?
The people behind him also began to whisper among themselves.
"This...this Jiang Yang doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."
"Yeah, shouldn't we... just stop bothering him?"
"I think so too, what if we offend someone we shouldn't..."
Guo Wei wanted to say something more, but was forcibly pulled away by several people behind him.
"Guo Wei, you've had too much to drink. Let's go."
"Yes, let's not cause trouble."
Several people dragged and pulled Guo Wei aside.
Guo Wei shook off their hands and shouted angrily, "What do you guys think you're doing?!"
"Brother Wei, don't be the first to act. Jiang Yang is not simple," one of them advised.
The other person's eyes darted around, and he said, "Brother Wei, didn't you bring Su Jingtong with you? They're bound to clash. Let's see how things go..."
Guo Wei thought for a moment, and a surge of joy filled his heart.
makes sense.
Su Jingtong is an arrogant woman who looks down on people like Jiang Yang.
When she gets back, things will get interesting.
As he was thinking, Su Jingtong returned from the bathroom and walked towards him from a distance.
Guo Wei immediately greeted her with a big smile: "Jing Tong, come here, let me introduce you to an old acquaintance."
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Jiang Yang out of the corner of his eye.
Su Jingtong was a little confused and followed his gaze.
When she saw Jiang Yang sitting in the corner, her expression changed instantly.
"How did he end up here?" Su Jingtong frowned in disgust.
"Today, all the people here are young scions from prominent families. What right does a country bumpkin like him have to be here?"
Guo Wan fanned the flames from the side, sneering, "Jing Tong, don't underestimate him. Jiang Yang is a big shot in Beijing now, how can he be compared to an ordinary countryman?"
Su Jingtong spat, her face full of disdain: "What big shot? He just got lucky and made a few stinking bucks! He's still a country bumpkin at heart. How dare he compare himself to the scions of us big families in Beijing? He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
