The man who entered was dressed in a well-fitting suit, his face handsome, his build tall and slender, with a warm smile on his face.
The woman was in a suit dress, graceful and elegant, with light makeup on her face and a gentle smile.
As soon as the two walked into the banquet hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Yè Yùwǎn!?"
"It's Yè Yùwǎn!"
"Who's that person beside her? Is he her lyricist?"
"Doesn't seem like it! That demeanor suggests he's a young master from some family, right?"
"This... Has Yè Yùwǎn also changed heart? Can't escape the rule of marrying into a wealthy family?"
The guests in the banquet hall immediately started discussing.
Wang Lili looked at the two with a sinister glare and then turned, looking aggrievedly at Ling Piaofeng: "Young Master Ling, it's them. That man is the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, the chairman of Yi Chen Group!"
Ling Piaofeng's eyes fixed on Yè Yùwǎn, revealing a lecherous glance. He glanced at Jiang Chen after hearing this, a scornful smile appearing on his lips: "Hmph! Just a boss from the secular world. Watch how I deal with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Piaofeng stood up and walked towards Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn, while Wang Lili followed closely behind with a delighted expression.
"Something's not right!"
Upon entering, Jiang Chen scanned the banquet hall, furrowing his brow slightly.
Because of Yè Yùwǎn's relationship, he usually paid attention to matters in the entertainment industry during his free time. Although some people present were indeed popular artists, many more had the aura of being in higher positions or were young arrogant men and women.
These young men and women don't seem to be from the entertainment industry!
"Yu Wan, is this really an entertainment industry's grand event? Why do I feel like most of them here are wealthy young masters?" Jiang Chen turned to look at Yè Yùwǎn.
Yè Yùwǎn was momentarily stunned, having not looked around casually after entering, she was currently greeting a woman walking towards them from afar.
After hearing this, Yè Yùwǎn glanced around, slightly frowning her Liu Mei: "There are indeed many young masters, this..."
"Yu Wan, you're here!"
At this moment, a woman arrived in front of the two, shooting Jiang Chen a displeased look before lowering her voice: "Yu Wan, didn't I tell you to come alone? Why did you bring a bodyguard?"
Scolding Yè Yùwǎn, the woman turned to Jiang Chen: "You can leave now, no need to pick up Yu Wan tonight, I'll send her back!"
Jiang Chen was stunned, surprisingly looking at Yè Yùwǎn: "Who is she?"
"Didn't Zhou Qing take over as my manager after you stopped being mine? The company has been busy recently, Zhou Qing has been too busy, so she brought Mei Jie over from abroad."
Yè Yùwǎn softly explained, then turned to look at manager Mei Jie: "Mei Jie, what kind of banquet is this? Why are there so many young masters here? Didn't you say it's an industry gathering?"
"Yu Wan, I'll tell you later, who is he?"
Mei Jie slightly frowned, sensing the closeness in their conversation, a suspicious look in her eyes as she spoke gravely.
"He is..." Yè Yùwǎn softly responded.
"Mei Jie, is that right? I'm Yu Wan's fiancé, Jiang Chen. What kind of banquet is this exactly?"
Jiang Chen interrupted Yè Yùwǎn, staring directly at Mei Jie, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, as he seemed to have guessed Mei Jie's purpose in having Yè Yùwǎn attend this banquet.
"Fiancé!? Yu Wan truly has a fiancé? You're the musician Jiang Chen who's been helping Yu Wan write songs?" Mei Jie looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
All employees of Yi Chen Group know their boss's surname is Jiang, but only some veteran employees and old executives know Jiang Chen's full name. And within the company, when they speak of Jiang Chen, they either call him Chairman or Mr. Jiang. Even when Ye Jingyi attends meetings, she refers to Jiang Chen as Chairman.
So, having joined the company only three months ago, Mei Jie didn't know the company chairman was Jiang Chen, especially since the company's legal representative was listed under Ye Jingyi's name.
"Mei Jie!"
Yè Yùwǎn also sensed something was off, frowning as she asked: "Answer my question!"
"Yu Wan! I know you have a good relationship with him, and you don't like attending gatherings with wealthy young masters, but this gathering is different, it's Young Master Zhan's birthday banquet."
Mei Jie steadied herself, glancing at Jiang Chen, and earnestly said: "Young Master Zhan is one of the three young masters of Jincheng, he personally requested your presence. If you don't attend, it would certainly offend him. Don't think just because we at Yi Chen and Longteng are leaders in Flame Dragon's business world that we can afford to offend the three young masters. Just treat it as making a friend!"
"Jiang Chen, you'd better leave immediately; this place isn't where a mere musician should be." Without giving Yè Yùwǎn a chance to respond, Mei Jie turned to Jiang Chen, eyes filled with disdain as she said: "And, never mention to anyone again that you're Yu Wan's fiancé, this will greatly affect her future!"
"You..." Yè Yùwǎn frowned deeply upon hearing this, her face instantly turning stern, about to shout.
Jiang Chen pulled Yè Yùwǎn aside, staring steadily at Mei Jie, expressionless, as he said: "You just said I don't need to pick up Yu Wan tonight, that you'd send her back yourself. What do you mean by that?"
Yè Yùwǎn was confused for a moment, suddenly realizing, a look of disgust appearing in her eyes.
"I... Who do you think you are? Do you deserve to be with Yu Wan? You're just exploiting Yu Wan's kindness, trying to climb into fame and fortune; I've seen plenty like you!"
Mei Jie hesitated for a moment, clenched her teeth, and arrogantly said: "I'm telling you, Young Master Zhan specifically asked for Yu Wan, making it clear he fancies her. After tonight, Yu Wan will be Young Master Zhan's person. If you have any sense, you'd leave immediately. You're not qualified to compete with Young Master Zhan! Get out now!"
Yè Yùwǎn's face turned extremely unpleasant, while Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Mei Jie, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Yè Yùwǎn yelled, in a low voice: "I love Jiang Chen, and in this lifetime, I will only be with him. Whatever the three young masters are, whatever Young Master Zhan is, I will never be with him!"
"Yu Wan, stop making a fuss!" Mei Jie frowned, earnestly persuading: "Don't think that the Jiang Family of Jincheng is formidable, there are many things in this world that you don't understand."
Seeing Yè Yùwǎn still unmoved, Mei Jie directly signaled the banquet hall's security: "Security, throw this person out, we don't know him!"
While saying this, Mei Jie reached out to pull Yè Yùwǎn; as her manager, she had the authority to restrain Yè Yùwǎn's inappropriate behaviors and words.
But she forgot, or perhaps she didn't know, Yè Yùwǎn wasn't like the artists she had managed before.
And Jiang Chen wasn't the so-called small-time musician she thought!
