Chapter 273 I felt like I was being teased, but I had no proof.

Chapter 273 I felt like I was being teased, but I had no proof.

After parting ways, the two got into their own cars.

Jiang Ruan believed in Chi Qian's abilities; Haicheng Xingyue Media Co., Ltd. was the best in the industry and could resolve many things quietly.

On her way back, Jiang Ruan called Su Zhu and told her about her conversation with Miss Chi.

The reason for not contacting Aunt Qi's company was that they didn't want to drag them into the Qin family's power struggle.

The Chi family is one of the four major families in Haicheng. Even if they take action, the people behind them won't dare to do anything. However, if Su Zhu and Aunt Qi get involved, they are very likely to encounter some difficulties.

“There’s almost no news about you online right now, and according to market prices, you’d be worth at most three million.” Su Zhu’s thoughts were similar to Miss Chi’s. “Why are you offering so much?”

As long as the news hasn't appeared.

Xingyue Media can suppress them at will; it's a piece of cake for them.

Giving so much, Ruan Ruan is probably being extorted.

“Chi Qian is someone I can befriend. Giving him extra money can be seen as a way to gain favor and build alliances.” Jiang Ruan had thought all this through very clearly. “Anyway, the last thing I lack right now is money.”

Su Zhu paused.

After a while.

She said with a hint of surprise, "I didn't realize that."

Jiang Ruan: "What?"

"You're someone who's destined for great things." Su Zhu suddenly realized how narrow-minded she had been. "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, but are you sure the eldest daughter of the Chi family is someone worth befriending?"

“OK,” Jiang Ruan said.

If she believed 70% of what was in the documents, then after meeting and talking, she believed it 100%.

After much consideration, Su Zhu finally told her, "Do you remember Li Xuyan who came to see you at the last banquet? The one who flirted with you not long after we went in."

"I remember." Jiang Ruan has a bad memory, but she remembers everything that happened that day very clearly. "What happened?"

“When you were talking to Qin Mo, I saw him with Chi Qian, a group of them chatting and laughing.” Su Zhu didn’t want anything to happen to her best friend. “I’m worried that she’s the same kind of people as them.”

Jiang Ruan: "Some friends are just superficial friends."

With just one simple sentence, Su Zhu understood.

I also support her decision.

at the same time.

Miss Chi's side.

"Miss, are you going home?" the driver asked.

Miss Chi fiddled with her phone, pulled up a contact, and dialed: "Go to the company."

Not long after.

The call was connected.

"What?" came Chi Yuan's extremely impatient voice from the other end.

"Just letting you know, Jiang Ruan is my business partner." Miss Chi's words were very direct and not polite at all. "If anyone tries to trip her up during this time, it's best not to accept their help."

Chi Yuan habitually went against her: "I'm going to take it anyway, what can you do about it?"

"It's nothing." Miss Chi said in the gentlest tone, while making the most threatening statement, "It's just that when I'm angry, I might get up in the middle of the night and castrate you, turning you into my sister."

Chi Yuan: "!!!"

Look!

Is this something a girl should say?!

So reserved!

"If you dare do that, I'll tell everyone that Mom and Dad are making you marry Xie Yi!" Chi Yuan exploded.

"It doesn't matter." Miss Chi never accepted such threats. "Back then, when you went from being a brother to a sister, even if it was an arranged marriage, Mom and Dad would have to consider whether to let Xie Yi marry into our family."

Chi Yuan: "..."

That makes a lot of sense.

He couldn't refute it.

"Are you serious?"

"You can take this as a joke," Miss Chi said gently and casually.

"You and Jiang Ruan have absolutely no connection, how did you become business partners?" Chi Yuan wondered, "What have you been doing behind my back?"

Miss Chi: "She's pretty."

Chi Yuan: "..."

Miss Chi: "It's also quite funny."

Chi Yuan: "??"

Without even thinking, Chi Yuan retorted, "I think you've lost your mind."

Miss Chi hung up the phone, too lazy to waste words with him. She had said what she needed to say, and if he wanted to cause trouble, she would just have to have another older sister.

A ding-dong sound.

A message came through my phone.

It was a message from Chi Yuan: 【You want to be friends with her?】

Chi Qian thought about Jiang Ruan's human-machine-like personality, which was both cute and somewhat adorable, and for a moment she did want to befriend her.

But it's just a thought.

She's decided to avoid the concept of friendship altogether.

Life is good as it is now.

"Whatever your reasons for collaborating with Jiang Ruan, don't forget the lessons learned." Chi Yuan rarely spoke to her seriously about this. "You know this industry better than I do; don't be foolish again."

Miss Chi glanced at him calmly and replied with three words: "You're crazy."

Chi Yuan: [Are you out of your mind?!]

Miss Chi didn't reply. For a man who's supposed to be the president of a listed company, he's incredibly childish.

It can only be said that Jiang Ruan negotiated the cooperation very quickly this time. If she had been a step slower, something would have gone wrong. That very night, she received a voice message from Miss Chi: "If you had come to me a day later, I would have doubled the price."

Along with the voice message came three screenshots.

All of this information was suppressed by Xingyue Media.

Jiang Ruan typed like an emotionless machine: 【The young lady is always reliable.】

Miss Chi: "I didn't realize you were so witty."

Jiang Ruan: [No kidding, just telling the truth.]

Miss Chi sat on her sofa at home, a smile playing on her lips, and sent a voice message: "Call me 'sister' and I'll tell you who authorized the publication of these articles."

Jiang Ruan: [Isn't there a confidentiality agreement?]

Miss Chi: "Confidentiality agreements are nothing in front of my sister."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

She felt she had been harassed, but had no proof.

"Don't want it?" Miss Chi's voice message continued.

After much deliberation, Jiang Ruan typed two words on the keyboard, her expression hidden behind a screen: "Sister."

"Is this what you call it?" Miss Chi's voice rose at the end, her teasing tone obvious. "Sending a voice message, text doesn't count."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan quickly grabbed her phone and went to find Sui Sui.

Seeing her mother's troubled expression, Sui Sui's round eyes were full of curiosity: "What's wrong, Mommy?"

"When I press the voice bar later, call me 'sister' into the phone." Jiang Ruan was desperate, as it was indeed difficult for her to call her that, since Chi Qian was a year younger than her.

Sui Sui nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan pressed the voice bar, and Sui Sui immediately called out in a clear voice, "Sister."

Miss Chi clicked on the voice message bar with great interest.

I couldn't help but think about the expression on Jiang Ruan's face when she sent that voice message. Was it as unbearable as constipation, or was she embarrassed?

"elder sister!"

A soft, sweet child's voice came from the phone.

Miss Chi was held in place for two seconds.

She tapped it again to confirm it was a child's voice.

"I didn't realize Ms. Jiang was so shameless." She continued in a voice message, "Is she trying to get promoted to be my aunt?"

Jiang Ruan coughed lightly and replied with utmost sincerity: "This is my voice. I deliberately tightened it because I thought you'd like it."

Miss Chi: "???"

Does she look like she's easy to fool?
