Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 101 - 101 101 Insist on Giving It to Me

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Insist on Giving It to Me Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Insist on Giving It to Me Liang Jinlan had been comfortably gathering contracts at home these past few days, beaming with joy, unable to stop smiling.

She said to Jiang Zhang, “Isn’t that what they say about Fanyue, that she’s incredible? At such a young age, she can already help out with the family business. She didn’t rely on the Gu Family or anything else for that matter, it all comes down to her own intelligence and flexibility, solving problems for our family.”

Jiang Zhang nodded, “Fanyue is indeed quite remarkable.”

“Remarkable is an understatement. Fortunately, we kept her. If it had been Jiang Zhe, not causing me trouble would have been good enough, let alone helping out.”

Jiang Zhang, remembering that Jiang Zhe hadn’t been completely useless in the Jiang Family, said, “Don’t say that, it’s unfair to Xiaozhe.”

“How have I been unfair to her? She knew our business was having issues last time, but she still refused to give me Chi Feng’s contact information. How does she compare to Fanyue even a bit?”

Jiang Zhang, feeling a pang of guilt towards Jiang Zhe now, decided not to agree with Liang Jinlan.

That evening, Jiang Fanyue even received an invitation to participate in an interview for a variety show recording—the show was about to invite Xu Jin for recording and wanted to interview some of his friends from inside and outside the circle in advance to create buzz for the program.

Of course, Jiang Fanyue was happy to accept.

She wasn’t worried about Xu Jin causing her any trouble; word had spread within the circle that the Jiang Family had facilitated a beautiful collaboration for Xu Jin.

Over the years, Xu Jin hadn’t interfered much with the Jiang Family using his popularity for their benefit.

Jiang Fanyue feared that as he climbed to higher positions, she would lose even the chance to ride on his coattails for popularity.

That night, Song Xingyu invited everyone out to dinner.

“First, to thank Xiaozhe for getting us the tickets, second, to celebrate getting such valuable items, and third, to think about how we can support Xu Jin, right?”

His words received an enthusiastic response.

Jiang Zhe was originally indifferent, but seeing everyone else’s excitement, she nodded her head, “Sure.”

Song Xingyu chose a private dining room near the school for the meal.

After he ordered the food, everyone ate in a hurry, their minds not really on the meal but enthusiastically discussing how to support Xu Jin.

Only Jiang Zhe ate at her own leisurely pace.

“You eat yours, don’t mind us,” Xia Enci got Jiang Zhe another soup.

Xiao Meng mentioned softly, “Our seats seem to be right at the very front of the inner field. It seems like we don’t need to do any support activities from there; from these seats, we should be able to make eye contact with the performers on stage.”

“Right, I remember now, the front rows at this venue are basically just down the steps from the stage,” Song Xingyu said. “No need for light signs then.”

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Zhe, “Were these tickets hard to get?”

“No, Xu Jin’s agent insisted on giving them to me,” Jiang Zhe said truthfully.

Everyone: “…”

If others had heard this, they might have been a bit incredulous.

But for Song Xingyu and a few others, there was almost no doubt at all.

It always felt like things just fell into place for Jiang Zhe with perfect reason.

Considering the seating of these tickets wasn’t the usual kind, Jiang Zhe’s statement was naturally beyond question.

“Then last time…” Song Xingyu suddenly thought of the signed photo he got for his birthday, “that silhouette I saw… was it really Xu Jin? Was it him?”

Jiang Zhe nodded.

“Seriously!” Song Xingyu shook Four-Eyes. What had he missed!

“Xu Jin personally delivered the photo?” Xia Enci’s mouth was slightly agape, and for a moment she didn’t know what to say.

Xu Jin’s current fame and status spoke for themselves. Many famous and esteemed directors might not even be able to meet with him, yet for a signed photo, he personally brought it over to Jiang Zhe.

So this kind of relationship, is the word ‘friends’ really enough to describe it?

Jiang Zhe said calmly, “I didn’t realize you all liked Xu Jin that much.”

“How could we not like him? He’s professional and positive, speaks through his work, and leads his fans towards goodness…” Xia Enci listed a whole basket of merits.

“I don’t know whether to envy you guys or to envy Xu Jin.” Jiang Zhe put down his chopsticks.

“Mutual admiration and love! Naturally, both are enviable!” Xia Enci made a gesture.

The others cupped their hands together. The person they were really envious of was Jiang Zhe, okay!

Being able to be friends with Xu Jin and remain so nonchalant about it—that was their main object of envy.

A member of the basketball team quietly asked Jiang Zhe, “Then, may I inquire about some private matters regarding Xu Jin?”

Jiang Zhe casually put down the teacup he was holding, his gaze lazy, when Song Xingyu stopped him, “Don’t ask. What’s there to inquire about? If you like him, just like the image of him that you see. Is it necessary to find out about the things he hasn’t shown? No need to ask anymore.”

By stopping him like this, he also saved Jiang Zhe quite a bit of trouble.

The person had no choice but to change the topic and talk about something else.

The group engaged in a high-spirited discussion, and the waiter brought over the soup, placing it in front of Jiang Zhe.

Hearing them all mention Xu Jin’s name, the waiter couldn’t help but interject, “Xu Jin is about to appear on that new variety show, ‘Hello Friends’.”

“Really? I only heard they planned to invite him, but they haven’t succeeded in getting him on the show,” Xia Enci immediately said.

“I’m not sure either, I saw reporters interviewing his friend. I heard that friend is also from our Yi Zhong.” The dining location was in Yi Zhong, so the waiter was quite interested in the news.

“Is that so? Where?” Xia Enci asked with interest.

The waiter turned on the TV in the private room for them.

On the TV news, the person being interviewed by the reporters turned out to be Jiang Fanyue.

Xia Enci didn’t hide her distaste for Jiang Fanyue and whispered to Jiang Zhe, “Is she also a friend of Xu Jin?”

“I’m not sure. But most likely not,” Jiang Zhe took the soup Xiao Meng had served and sipped it little by little.

“That’s impossible! Birds of a feather flock together!” Xia Enci was very certain, “Xu Jin is just a good person who cherishes old relations with people he has worked with. I’ve heard a bit about the Jiang Fanyue matter. It was such a long time ago, wasn’t it just that the Jiang Family provided money to the production crew, sponsoring the designer and costumes. Even without their costumes, Xu Jin could still have made it big, their sponsorship wasn’t targeted at Xu Jin, it was his own grasp of opportunities and portrayal of character that made him popular!”

Everyone nodded in agreement: “If just a costume sponsorship for a production requires Xu Jin to remember it for so many years, then he has far too many people to remember. It’s basically moral abduction.”

Song Xingyu turned up the TV volume a bit, “Let’s first listen to what Jiang Fanyue has to say.”

“I really want to see how she’s going to put it.”

Jiang Zhe didn’t even lift his head, listening half-heartedly, his mind on the soup of the day.

On TV, the reporter was asking Jiang Fanyue, “Miss Jiang, I’ve heard that you and Xu Jin have always had a good relationship, and you’ve been in contact frequently over the past two years. You surely must meet privately often, right?”
