Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 102 - 102 102 As Xu Jins Friend

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: As Xu Jin’s Friend Chapter 102: Chapter 102: As Xu Jin’s Friend Jiang Fanyue revealed a reserved smile.

She had always behaved like a daughter of a wealthy family, particularly gentle, beginning her sentences with a smile, creating a pleasant impression on others.

“That’s one way to put it, as everyone knows, Xu Jin is especially grateful, often saying that a small courtesy should be repaid with a fountain of gratitude, so it’s quite normal for us to become friends,” she said.

What Jiang Fanyue said was actually quite ambiguous and did not directly answer the reporter’s question.

However, to the uninformed, this response indeed sounded like an admission to the reporter’s question.

“Yes, that’s a particularly commendable trait of Xu Jin. So speaking of which, does this mean you’ll also be going to Xu Jin’s concert to cheer for him live?”

“Yes, my manager brother has already reserved tickets for me. I will bring some friends along to the event,” Jiang Fanyue said with a smile.

Her words were a mixture of truths and fabrications, but who would possibly expose her?

Jiang Fanyue wasn’t worried.

If Xu Jin personally responded to this trivial matter, it would instead give her the attention and traffic she desired.

The reporter made an exaggeratedly envious face. “That being said, has Xu Jin reserved many tickets for you? Oh my, I guess someone in front of the TV is crying tears of envy like me.”

With a gentle and generous smile, Jiang Fanyue said, “How about I give you a ticket too?”

“Really? Can I have it? Wow! Interviewing you has been a very correct decision!” the reporter exaggerated, resulting in a very effective interview.

The reporter then asked, “So, as a friend of Xu Jin and a business partner, does this mean you will have many more collaborations with him in the future?”

After this series of conversations, the reporter had almost understood that her relationship with Xu Jin was indeed not bad.

“Yes, definitely. It’s a win-win choice.”

Jiang Fanyue wished she could plaster the Jiang Family’s clothing brand all over the TV.

But the director had reminded her beforehand not to mention the brand, so she had to restrain herself; however, just having such an interview was enough. With more promotion by the Jiang Family thereafter, the negative impact of the Jiang Family’s plagiarism issues could be erased.

By leveraging Xu Jin’s popularity and reputation, the brand image would be firmly established.

Jiang Zhe put down his spoon from the soup and glanced up at the image on the television.

The news headline was glaringly titled with the four characters “Xu Jin’s Friend.”

In public, Jiang Fanyue had always shown herself as a gentle and generous person, easily winning people’s favor.

Now on television, having been styled and made up, her appearance could be described as lovely, and with the poise of a wealthy young lady, she was indeed convincing.

However, Song Xingyu, aware of her true nature, couldn’t help but ridicule, “Can she actually be a friend of Xu Jin? I don’t believe it!”

“Neither do I. Could someone who is friends with Xiaozhe possibly take a fancy to Jiang Fanyue?” Xia Enci also pursed her lips in disapproval.

Xiao Meng nodded. “Yes, although Xu Jin is a grateful person, at most he has some business interactions with Jiang Fanyue, but it’s absolutely impossible for them to be friends.”

“Xiaozhe, what do you say?” Song Xingyu asked Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe wasn’t very familiar with Xu Jin’s personal life and hadn’t inquired, commenting indifferently, “I don’t know.”

“You may not know, but we believe Xu Jin! Anyway, it’s impossible for Xu Jin to have a friend like her!”

“Listen to this; she even told the reporter she’d go to Xu Jin’s concert with them! She’s planning to ride on Xu Jin’s coattails, to leech off his success!”

“This is too much, too much!”

Jiang Zhe, hearing the noisy discussions around him, said calmly, “Xu Jin is an entertainer; he has his own life and way of doing things. You don’t need to assume anything for him. Even if he and Jiang Fanyue are friends, what does that prove? What does it represent?”

Everyone was jolted by Jiang Zhe’s words, suddenly realizing they were projecting their own preferences onto Xu Jin.

Being overly concerned with a celebrity’s private life is indeed unnecessary.

But just the thought of Jiang Fanyue being able to become friends with Xu Jin still left everyone quite upset.

…

The concert was starting this weekend.

Jiang Fanyue, using her connection as Xu Jin’s friend, was heavily promoting it on Weibo.

The interview from that day was also reposted by numerous marketing accounts.

In the past few days, the Jiang Family’s clothing orders had soared.

Many celebrities who previously feared being associated with scandals also reserved the new models to wear on the red carpet.

The Jiang Family was immersed in an atmosphere of jubilation.

Liang Jinlan played mahjong at the gaming table, enjoying a streak of good luck.

“Mrs. Jiang, you’re really incredible. Your daughter is just in her teens and she’s already able to help you manage the family business. You’ll just be able to sit back and enjoy the good life in the future, won’t you?”

Mrs. Li, sitting opposite at the mahjong table, lavished praise on Jiang Fanyue as if she were a blooming flower.

Liang Jinlan replied with a smile, “Well, she’s capable on her own, so I’m relieved. It’s always good for a girl to have some skills.”

“I think it’s all thanks to your good education, it’s really your merit. Fanyue is like a lucky star for your household, isn’t she? I remember, not long after you adopted her, your family’s clothing business suddenly took off. Later on, the drama you invested in for Xu Jin became a hit series, and you successfully partnered with Xu Jin. Even though you faced some crises, Fanyue has pulled you through once again,” said Mrs. Li enviously. “For someone who’s adopted, she seems even closer to you than your own flesh and blood.”

As Liang Jinlan played with her mahjong tiles, she pondered Mrs. Li’s words and felt she really agreed with them.

All the good things in their household seemed related to Jiang Fanyue, and she couldn’t help but think about how all the bad things seemed connected to Jiang Zhe, like the previous plagiarism incident with the clothing. If not for Jiang Zhe’s stubbornness, could it have blown up like that?

It seemed that from birth, there was one person destined to defy her and another to help her.

Before long, it was the day of the concert.

It was Saturday, and the senior year students at the high school were enjoying their monthly day off, with those who had tickets agreeing to meet up at the event.

Jiang Zhe didn’t want to go so early, but couldn’t stand against Song Xingyu and the others whose hearts had already flown to the venue, so he reluctantly arrived at the scene ahead of time with them.

The venue hadn’t started checking tickets yet, and the place was buzzing with noise.

Fans were everywhere.

Xia Enci was checking out the situation in a fan group.

She nudged Jiang Zhe’s arm, “Look, Jiang Fanyue is here again!”

Jiang Zhe glanced over and saw Jiang Fanyue live-streaming her concert attendance.

In the barrage of comments, many people were envious of her and took her word as the truth.

Jiang Fanyue talked fluently, “Today I’m here to support Xu Jin at the concert! I got the tickets, so of course, I have to support my friend, right? I also brought some classmates with me, whom I invited to cheer for Xu Jin! I hope everything goes smoothly at the concert today! I can hardly wait, what about you?”
