Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Favoritism

After Su Lu left, Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask Ying Xi again, "Are you hurt?"

Ying Xi furrowed his brow, "No! Can you stop making such a fuss?"

His tone wasn’t exactly kind, but Jiang Li didn’t get angry at all, his facial expression didn’t even change, he even smiled a bit, "I was just asking..."

If one were to say that when it came to Ying Xi, Jiang Li’s attitude was almost indulgent, then the shift in his demeanor when he turned to look at Lang Ya could be described as nothing short of a dramatic upheaval.

Lang Ya, having observed Jiang Li’s attitude towards Ying Xi, initially thought this wouldn’t be a difficult temperament to deal with.

But the first thing Jiang Li said to him was, "Do you not want to work anymore?"

Ying Xi, with his eyes downcast, the expression in his eyes flickering, could not remain indifferent to the favoritism shown to others.

Lang Ya inexplicably felt like an orphan, pitiful indeed.

Damn it, what made Ying Xi so special? What were his merits? Everyone was on the front line, so why was he so lucky? Wherever he went, he was treated like a treasured gem.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had also figured out that although Lang Ya was the first to provoke and spoke rudely, it was indeed Ying Xi who struck the first blow. The one who made the first move was naturally at a disadvantage, so naturally, he wouldn’t seek trouble from the other party.

As for Ying Xi, who made the first move and was in the wrong, Jiang Li didn’t even reprimand him. Leaving Yi Restaurant, Ying Xi saw his car parked by the roadside, boldly left there.

It already had a ticket on it, if he had been later, it might even have been towed. It showed how hurried he had been, even forgetting to find a proper parking spot.

Ying Xi, who had initially been sulking, gradually couldn’t maintain his sullen expression anymore. After getting into the car, Ying Xi hesitantly brought up a topic, "What did you just say about, some banquet?"

Jiang Li paused, seemingly surprised that Ying Xi would initiate a conversation, immediately a smile appeared on his face, "Boss’s opening banquet. Do you want to go? I remember now, you’re a fan of Bambi, right? You would definitely want to attend this banquet. Shall I take you?"

Ying Xi wanted to frown and refuse, not because he didn’t want to attend his idol’s banquet, but because there was a subconscious instinct to refuse Jiang Li. For some reason, he felt like maintaining distance from Jiang Li was a bit dangerous.

But at that moment, as the words of refusal hung on his lips, seeing Jiang Li’s smiling eyes, Ying Xi couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

He just said dryly, "Alright then."

On the day of the banquet, Su Lu got up quite early. For some reason, even though there were no plans to go to the office today, she woke up early. She even didn’t feel the slightest bit groggy.

Washing her hair, taking a bath, applying a face mask, having breakfast, by the time she was ready, it was already past noon, and Xu Ning had already arrived with the stylist. Sang Mi was Su Lu’s regular stylist and very familiar; she started preparing with a cheerful smile as soon as she arrived.

"Sister Su, don’t worry, I will make sure you look stunning, a beauty that will shock everyone!" Sang Mi said.

Su Lu smiled helplessly, "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

This girl was actually quite skilled, but usually quite calm; today, her fervor was rather unusual.

Sang Mi pouted her lips and said, "You might not know about the banquet you’re going to attend. I don’t know exactly what’s so significant about it, but I’ve heard from the industry that many celebrities are going to attend, each one eager to show off. My colleagues are all under a lot of pressure, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, you’d think it was some sort of beauty pageant happening! I usually don’t compete, but with today being so lively, we can’t fall behind, can we?"

Su Lu paused for a moment, then realized it wasn’t surprising. Jiang Su’s Jianghe Group, which owned Jianghe Media.

The scope of its businesses included not only films and music industries but also the modeling sector, and Yaxi Chen was a model with Jianghe Media.

Jiang Su and Jiang Li both had good relationships with Bo Jingshen. It was only natural for Jiang Su to invite artists to support Boss’s opening banquet.

Moreover, people in the entertainment industry are even cunning like monkeys, and this is Boss they are dealing with, newly entering the domestic market but not to be underestimated.

Even if Jiang Su hadn’t invited them, they would have found a way to make it on their own.

The result of Sang Mi being overly enthusiastic was... Mr. Su might not be able to keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Xu Ning was originally beside him, discussing work-related matters and meeting content. As they talked, he couldn’t help but exclaim from time to time, "Sang Mi must have been catalyzed today, Mr. Su could debut as a celebrity."

"I’m classier than those internet-famous faces any day. This makeup, such a high-end look," Sang Mi boasted, and he wasn’t exaggerating.

Su Lu was naturally beautiful; even without deliberate dressing up, he looked good.

Dressed up now, he was even more captivating, as if from clothing to makeup, there wasn’t a single flaw.

Sang Mi happily said, "Mr. Su, even with many artists here today, you could outshine them all. Be careful not to be scouted to debut."

Su Lu, helpless, said, "You’re even more talkative than Xu Ning."

"I’m just being realistic." While speaking, Sang Mi fastened a diamond necklace around Su Lu’s neck.

The diamond necklace didn’t have a noticeably large main stone, so it didn’t look out of place. Instead, it complemented the fish-tail gown bedazzled with tiny rhinestones.

Not wanting to dampen her rare enthusiasm, Su Lu nodded, "Alright, alright, today I’ll dazzle the crowd and dominate the scene. Happy now?"

"That’s more like it," Sang Mi was satisfied.

When it was almost time, and Su Lu was ready, it wasn’t long until the banquet started.

Su Lu was about to leave but received a call from Su Zhe, "I’ve arranged a male companion for you, to give me peace of mind."

Su Lu was taken aback, instinctively feeling it was Qiao Li.

"No need, Brother," Su Lu reflexively declined.

But Su Zhe insisted, "Don’t refuse, let him see the world too."

See the world?

Hearing this, Su Lu was still puzzled, but since Su Zhe insisted, there was no need to refuse anymore, so she reluctantly agreed.

When she went downstairs, she indeed saw the male companion Su Zhe had arranged.

Su Lu stared at the man standing by the car, dressed in a neat suit, with hair combed neatly, looking much more mature and radiating a distinguished aura.

Su Lu felt relieved that she hadn’t worried about Qiao Li coming and rushed to refuse Su Zhe.

That would have been awkward.

Seeing Su Yi standing by the car, Su Lu smiled helplessly, "Brother really sent you to be my male companion?"
