Marriage as a Game

Chapter 100: Caught off guard by a pair of deep black eyes
There was not much traffic on the road in the afternoon. About half an hour later, Zhong drove the red Ferrari and parked it in front of the Art and Culture Building.

Shen Chaoxi came out from the passenger seat and saw Xu Yun waiting at the door. He nodded at her and then said a few words to the people in the car.

Zhongli just answered the phone and was about to leave. The two of them agreed on a meeting place.

Watching the red Ferrari disappear from sight, Xu Yun felt envious.

"Wow! It turns out that all of Sister Ran's friends are amazing!"

Shen Chaoxi smiled at her and said nothing, feeling lucky that she didn't see Zhongli's face just now.

"A high school classmate from a well-off family." She explained briefly before entering the elevator, otherwise Xu Yun would have continued to nag for a while.

Most of the art and cultural receptions for VIPs are on the 26th floor, which is the exclusive area for the chairman.

When Shen Chaoxi arrived, almost all the important people in the crew were there, including two larger investors.

"No one has arrived yet." Xu Yun found a relatively back seat for Shen Chaoxi and said quietly.

Shen Chaoxi wanted to keep a low profile, but unfortunately someone didn't give her the chance.

First, Yuan Hua introduced the two investors.

"This is Yao Ran, the author of Yun Fei Tian. Yao Ran, this is Mr. Su from Yun Hua, and this is Mr. Wei from Qi Tian. The official launch of our drama and its smooth progress are all thanks to these two CEOs!"

Yuan Hua stood up and introduced himself at this time. Shen Chaoxi naturally could not nod anymore. She stood up and walked forward a few steps.

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Hello, President Wei!"

The names of the two major investment companies, Yunhua and Qitian, are quite famous in Beijing. In recent years, they have made a lot of money from film and television investments and have become the forefront of the business circle.

“I didn’t expect that the writer of Yun Feitian is so young... and beautiful!” Mr. Wei, a middle-aged man from Qitian, looked greasy and his eyes were dark.

Shen Chaoxi slightly distanced herself from him. The handshake just now made her feel very uncomfortable. It was not just a light handshake. The area of ​​contact between the two hands seemed too large, and the other party consciously rubbed her palm with his fingertips.

Shen Chaoxi put his right hand behind his back with some disgust.

"Ms. Yao, please sit here!"

After saying hello, Shen Chaoxi was thinking of sitting back in his original seat, but unexpectedly, President Wei had already pulled the chair next to him away.

Shen Chaoxi wanted to refuse, and she looked at Yuan Hua.

They are all people in the business world. No matter how carefully they hide their thoughts, they cannot hide them from the eyes of these old hands.

"Haha! As you should. Yao Ran will have a big investor coming today. He is very optimistic about your book and will probably ask some questions. It's most appropriate for you to sit over here!"

The conference room was arranged in a circle, with the podium seat empty, probably reserved for the big investor. Yuan Hua sat the first seat on the left, the second seat was reserved for Shen Chaoxi, and the third seat was for President Wei.

Shen Chaoxi didn't want to be caught between the two of them, not because she was afraid that the other party would have bad intentions towards her, but because she was afraid that if she really started fighting, she would hurt them.

Just as he was about to refuse, an assistant hurried in from outside the door.

"Mr. Yuan, the person has arrived and has already gotten off the elevator!"

Yuan Hua was surprised. He straightened his suit and went out to greet him.

"Why didn't you notify the first floor?"

Before Yuan Huaren walked out of the conference room, the big investor from the opposite side had already come in.

Upon seeing the arrival, President Wei and President Su, who had been contented, stood up in a hurry. Even the people from the film production team changed their expressions.

Shen Chaoxi looked along the flow of people and was unexpectedly met with a pair of deep dark eyes.

"Oh no! Mr. Shang, our people don't know how to do things. We were supposed to go downstairs to greet you!"

There was no trace of Yuan Hua's usual arrogance.

President Su and President Wei, who had been so arrogant just now, could not even breathe and just smiled.

"Mr. Shang, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Mr. Shang, please come this way!"

After the greetings, Yuan Hua extended his hand and gestured towards the seat on the podium.

Shang Jianghan walked in wearing a black suit, stood on the left, and casually opened the seat where Yuan Hua had just sat: "Mr. Yuan, you are the host, you should take the seat!"

Shang Jianghan sat down as he spoke.

Although he had a polite smile on his face, his tone was cold and without a trace of warmth.

The meeting room was deadlocked for only a few seconds before Yuan Hua asked everyone to sit down. Shen Chaoxi was a little overwhelmed and stood there without moving.

Yuan Hua remembered something and pointed at Shen Chaoxi.

"Boss Shang, this is the author of Yun Fei Tian, ​​Yao Ran. If you have any opinions or requests about the book, you can ask Yao directly. Yao Ran, this is Boss Shang of Lianzhong International."

Shang Jianghan had already sat down, and Shen Chaoxi was standing beside him. The man's profile was cold in her sight, and he didn't even look at her, but she had to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Shang!"

"Hmm!" A muffled groan came from the chest.

"Hey! Yao Ran, please sit down quickly. Mr. Shang's time is precious. Let's quickly introduce the project content and implementation plan to him..."

The meeting lasted until about five in the afternoon.

When I came out of the Arts and Culture Building, the sky was overcast and a heavy rain was about to come.

In order to avoid running into that group of people and any unnecessary greetings, Shen Chaoxi deliberately lingered in the bathroom for a quarter of an hour.

By this time, several CEOs and production company leaders had already left.

Shen Chaoxi glanced at the time on his watch.

The appointment with Zhongli is at 6:30, which is more than an hour away.

She leaned her head out to check the weather, and the strong wind carrying water particles hit her cheek unexpectedly.

Shen Chaoxi took a step back and stood under the eaves of the hall. He hugged the notebook in his hand into his arms and cursed to himself that he was unlucky.

Summer in the north is like this, with strong winds and heavy rain coming at any time.

Shen Chaoxi decided to take shelter from the rain in the hall before leaving.

However, before she could turn around, a black Cullinan stopped in front of her in an extremely domineering manner, directly blocking the door to the first floor of the Arts and Culture Building.

The action is as domineering as the car model.

The familiar car body and familiar movements made Shen Chaoxi dazed for a moment.

Cullinan just stopped, waited for a few seconds and didn't take any other action.

The car body was pitch black, and even the window film was dark in color, so you couldn't see the people inside at all.

Shen Chaoxi's heart was beating inexplicably, and he quickly came to his senses. When he was about to turn around, he saw the driver's window slowly lowering.

The man in the car took off his black suit jacket, still wearing a black shirt of the same tone. The cold tone matched his cold white skin, making people feel cold.

The man stretched his left arm holding the cigarette out of the window and flicked the ash naturally.

The rain was getting heavier, and a few drops of rain fell on his cold white arm, wetting the light blue film of the watch.

The other party was unaware and turned to look at Shen Chaoxi.

There was no emotion in his dark eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Such a look made Shen Chaoxi feel a little suffocated.

She bit her lip and swallowed.

"Mr. Shang hasn't left yet?" Shen Chaoxi asked softly.

Just now in the conference room, the two of them had almost no communication. She sat next to the man, and the woody scent always disturbed her mind.

Thinking of her suitcase, Shen Chaoxi took half a step forward, and her nude five-centimeter high heels stepped on the marble floor wet by rain.

"Your clothes can be picked up tomorrow. Where do we change suitcases?"

Shang Jianghan curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the person in front of him who was shivering because of the cold wind, and he spoke.

"Let's talk about it later, get in the car!"

Shen Chaoxi was stunned and refused instinctively.

"No, I'll wait until the rain stops before I leave!"

"Zhongli asked me to pick you up!"

Shen Chaoxi couldn't refuse this reason.
