149 Just For Fun

“What way?”

“Send me overseas.” She did not want to stay in Lin City anymore.

Or rather, she could not stay any longer.

“Send you overseas and the problem we are facing will be solved automatically? You’re thinking too simply!”

Mr. Jiang placed his hands behind his back. “I’ll get them to invite reporters over. Apologize in front of the camera.”

“No!” Jiang Yingnuo raised her voice. “Don’t you know what an apology means? How can I live like this?”

Of course, Mr. Jiang knew.

However, for the sake of Kai Yu, he had to push her out. Otherwise, things would not end well. “Yingna, I’m not negotiating with you.”

“Must you force me like this?”

“I’m teaching you to take responsibility!”

Jiang Yingnuo sneered, “Am I really your daughter? Why are you making a scapegoat out of me whenever something happens?”

“Didn’t you cause this situation yourself?”

“But you…”

“President Jiang, the police are here.” An employee hurriedly ran into the conference room and gestured for them to look out.

One of the police officers stepped forward with handcuffs.

He handcuffed Jiang Yingna’s hands and forcefully took her away under the pretext of illegal drug use.

“Dad, help me!” Jiang Yingna, who had come back to her senses, turned to look at him with red eyes.

She did not deny it from the beginning to the end, making Mr. Jiang even more certain that she really used illegal drugs.

He closed the door in disappointment, not even bothering to look at her.

While Jiang Yingna, who was crying until she almost fainted, was brought back to the police station, Kai Yu made two announcements to the public.

Firstly, Kai Yu apologized to all the victims harmed by Jiang Yingna and offered to compensate them.

Secondly, he would cut ties with her.

No matter which one it was, it caused a huge commotion on the internet.

Everyone, including the employees of Star River, was gossiping.

“Jiang Yingnuo was actually arrested!”

“You just found out? Her father even cut ties with her.”

“This reversal is too dramatic.”

“That’s right. Both the father and daughter are ruthless.”

Jiang Ye, who had accidentally heard their conversation, stopped in his tracks.

As he walked to the cafeteria, he smiled under the mask.

“Jiang Ye, over here.” Zhou Yanshen, who was standing in front of the table, raised his hand.

It was lunchtime. When the employees and celebrities sitting in the hall heard his voice, they couldn’t help but look up at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye, who received many gazes, quickened his pace and walked to his side.

He took the plate and chose dishes with Zhou Yanshen. “President Zhou, do you usually eat here?”

“Call him Brother Yanshen,” Zhou Yanshen corrected him.

Then, he answered his question, “I paid a high price to hire the chefs in the cafeteria. THeir culinary skills are not inferior to those outside.”

“No wonder so many employees are dining here.” From this alone, Jiang Ye could tell the difference between Star River and Kai Yu.

Under Zhou Yanshen’s recommendation, he picked up a lot of dishes and only went to find a seat when his plate was full.

“Do you have any requirements for your agent?” Zhou Yanshen asked.

“It’s best if my agent is a male.”

“Are you afraid that Pei Yilan will get jealous?”

“Yes.” Jiang Ye took off his mask. “It’s easier to get along with men.”

Zhou Yanshen looked around.

He pointed at a man wearing glasses. “He’s very down-to-earth and capable.”

“How many celebrities does he have?”

“There was one, but that celebrity thought he was too stubborn, so he found another agent.”

“Stubborn in what way?” Jiang Ye secretly sized up the man in glasses. He found him quite friendly-looking.

“He wants his celebrities to use their ability to climb up the social ladder, so he’ll reject many social events.”

Zhou Yanshen chewed on the food. “Those who want a shortcut can’t get along with him. Those who don’t are too rare.”

“I have the same thoughts as him.” Jiang Ye was in a difficult situation, but his initial intention had never changed.

He needed someone like him, not like Yang Qifeng, who was easily corrupted by greed.

“Him then.” Zhou Yanshen said, “I’ll get him to talk to you after the meal.”

“Alright.” Just as Jiang Ye was about to turn around, a celebrity walked over.

She put her hand on Zhou Yanshen’s shoulder. “Yanshen.” Her delicate voice was extremely irresistible.

“Why?”

“I want to endorse Blue Nile.” Du Wei leaned over with a smile. “Can you help me with it?”

“Go look for your agent.”

“I did, but he can’t.”

Zhou Yanshen pulled away the hand on his shoulder with a cold expression. “Nor can I.”

Du Wei did not notice the change in him.

She did not lower her voice and acted coquettishly to him like before. “Yanshen, can you stay with me tonight?”

“We’ve already broken up.”

“We can be friends even if we break up.”

“I’m not interested.” Zhou Yanshen had always disliked talking to people he was tired of, let alone sleeping with them.

He pointed at the door. “You should go.”

Du Wei’s eyes widened.

She had once thought that even if they broke up, she would remain a special one. She did not expect to be treated as such today.

“Yanshen, did you ever like me?” She asked subconsciously.

“No.”

“Then why did you choose to be with me?”

Zhou Yanshen raised an eyebrow. “For fun.” He smiled coldly.

Du Wei, whose fantasy had been shattered by these two words, no longer treated him as her ‘ex-boyfriend’.

“Alright.” Afraid that she would be mocked by the other celebrities, she quickly composed herself. “President Zhou, enjoy.”

“Help me throw it.” Zhou Yanshen opened the wrapper of the cigarette box, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it to her.

He asked Jiang Ye, “Do you smoke?”

“Yes.” Jiang Ye glanced at Du Wei’s increasingly ugly expression and couldn’t help but admire his ruthlessness.

He lit the cigarette Zhou Yanshen handed over. He did not intend to linger on this topic, but he heard Zhou Yanshen say, “We already broke up and she actually still had the cheek to ask for resources from me.”

Zhou Yanshen fiddled with the lighter. “She’s just like those women. They don’t know what’s good for them.”

“She thought you still had her in your heart.”

“I think she’s still asleep.”

Jiang Ye was speechless.

He was sure that the rumor about him was true.

He leaned back in his chair and blew out a stream of smoke. “Are your exes all from Star River?”

“Mostly.”

“Don’t you find it awkward?”

“No.” Zhou Yanshen crossed his legs. “In any case, we have no feelings for each other and won’t come into contact again.”

Jiang Ye looked at him through the smoke and asked after a long pause, “Do you have feelings for Qian Yue?”

“What kind of feeling do you mean?”

“Love.”

Zhou Yanshen thought of what Lin Jiao once said about not asking for anything in return in a relationship. He still couldn’t reach that level yet.

He shook his head. “Only a good impression.”

“A good impression is a prerequisite for liking someone.” At least, it was much better than ‘for fun’.
