Super Soldier King and Cute CEO
Chapter 154 - 154 155 Jin Shengling

154: Chapter 155 Jin Shengling 154: Chapter 155 Jin Shengling Tang Zhong spoke, and nearly everyone looked at Tang Zhong.

Those CEOs all cast disdainful glances at him.

Jiang Weiwei felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting Tang Zhong to say such a thing.

“If you’re going to eat, just eat,” she thought.

“Do you really have to announce it?

Couldn’t you have just eaten quietly by yourself?”

At that moment, among the CEOs, a man around thirty years old, dressed in a black suit, looking quite distinguished, named Qin Ming, who was the owner of a clothing company, looked at Tang Zhong and coldly barked, “Who are you?

This is a gathering of CEOs.

What are you doing here?”

The other CEOs also looked at Tang Zhong; indeed, they did not recognize this man, and the clothes he wore were remarkably shabby.

Yet they all noticed that this gentleman had come in with Jiang Weiwei, and then their gazes shifted to her.

“Who is this?”

Jiang Weiwei was indeed embarrassed.

She shouldn’t have listened to that guy before; she should have bought him some clothes, so they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

She could only manage a smile and say, “He is an employee of my company, attending an event like this for the first time.

I’m sorry, everyone!”

Tang Zhong, however, wasn’t paying any attention to what the people around him were saying; instead, he remembered what Jiang Weiwei had told him as they entered: once inside, you just need to eat, don’t mind anything else.

Upon hearing this, the CEOs all felt somewhat relieved.

It was his first time attending, which could explain it, but still, his attire was excessively tattered.

Nonetheless, for Tang Zhong, they all had faces full of aversion.

If it weren’t for Jiang Weiwei being there, they really would want to kick this man out right now.

And it was at this moment that a sarcastic voice came from the crowd.

A woman emerged, decked from head to toe in outlandish attire with an even more unusual hairstyle, complete with a nose ring, a classic example of Luo Country fashion.

“Our gathering this time consists of elites from the fashion industry; how can we allow just anyone to show up?

Wearing such tattered clothes while working in a fashion company clearly shows how low the standards of that company are!”

With that statement, the CEOs present also felt it made sense.

The presence of such a person in a fashion company indicated how poor the company must be.

“Exactly.”

“This is CEOs’ gathering of fashion companies.

How can we let such a person in?”

The woman’s words again sparked a wave of discussion.

Everyone present was a fashion CEO, and having this person among them would lower their own status.

Jiang Weiwei managed an awkward laugh amidst the crowd.

It seemed that inviting Tang Zhong here had been a huge mistake.

Turning to look at Tang Zhong, she was surprised to find that he had taken a seat at the dining table, picked up some chopsticks, and started eating enthusiastically.

Just after swallowing a mouthful, Tang Zhong felt Jiang Weiwei’s gaze, turned his body, and asked, “What’s wrong?

Why are you looking at me like that?”

Seeing this, the other CEOs watched with even more intense contempt.

The woman dressed in Luo Country fashion snorted coldly, her eyes brimming with mockery.

Jiang Weiwei started feeling mortified and said, “What are you doing?”

“Me?

Didn’t you say that all I needed to do was eat?

You all talk about your stuff, and I’ll just eat; it’s okay.

Boss, you don’t have to worry about me, I can eat by myself, no one needs to feed me!” Tang Zhong said.

Jiang Weiwei was speechless.

Indeed, she had told Tang Zhong to eat, but she hadn’t meant for him to eat like this?

Just as she was about to speak, the woman dressed in Luo Country fashion said, “I never imagined that Laiya International would lack such standards.

This meeting is only for those of a certain caliber, and they should withdraw.”

As soon as she said this, those with grudges against Laiya International quickly jumped in.

Everybody there belonged to the fashion industry of Jianghai, and to say they had no quarrels would be a lie.

Almost everyone began targeting Laiya International.

“President Jiang, are the employees of your company always this poor?”

“I’m afraid there is no chance of future cooperation between us.”

This meeting was intended to be for seeking business partnerships.

The current situation basically meant that no company would want to collaborate with Laiya International anymore.

Jiang Weiwei began to worry.

This was something she had not anticipated; it could indeed cause trouble down the line.

“Please, esteemed CEOs…”

Tang Zhong, while eating, noticed something was amiss.

Seeing Jiang Weiwei looking worried, he walked over and asked, “What’s going on, boss?”

“Shut up,” Jiang Weiwei said.

She was very anxious at the moment.

The Chengcheng fashion show was about to begin, and if she couldn’t find a partner, even Madina’s arrival would be in vain.

After all, their company only specialized in design and still couldn’t integrate design with manufacturing.

Now she had to find a way to get on good terms with these executives.

So Jiang Weiwei went up to speak with the executives, but not a single one of them would pay her any attention.

Moreover, she noticed that all the executives were happily chatting with women dressed from Luo Country, and she could only clench her teeth and forcefully join in their conversation.

Tang Zhong was watching from the side, his expression subtly changing.

Others might not understand, but Tang Zhong could.

This so-called meeting was nothing more than an attempt to isolate their Laiya International.

Such a unanimous action definitely suggested someone had orchestrated it.

Based on his years of experience in observing people, there were two individuals among the crowd that seemed problematic.

One was the woman dressed in Luo Country attire, and the other was Qin Ming, who had been berating him loudly since Tang Zhong had entered.

These two were the most suspect.

Then Tang Zhong pointed at the woman dressed in the attire of Luo Country and asked Jiang Weiwei, “Who is she?”

Jiang Weiwei had also realized there was a problem.

She was being isolated; a scene she had anticipated before she arrived but hadn’t expected to unfold so quickly.

Even if Tang Zhong hadn’t come today, those people would have targeted her.

Tang Zhong’s presence merely gave them an excuse.

Upon hearing Tang Zhong’s question, Jiang Weiwei replied directly, “Her name is Jin Shengling.

During university, she went to study abroad in Luo Country.

Her parents are from Xuan Country, but she insists on identifying as a Luo Country citizen, denying her Xuan Country nationality.

Moreover, she’s been spreading Luo Country’s culture in Xuan Country, which she learned during her studies, and eventually started a fashion company specializing in promoting this Luo Country knowledge, poisoning the youth of Xuan Country.

She’s extremely despicable.”

Luo Country!

Tang Zhong remembered this nation, finding it utterly abhorrent.

They had the gall to claim internationally that some festivals originated from them, so he had no good feelings toward them.

Jiang Weiwei, as a patriot, plus being targeted by Jin Shengling this time, had even more reason to criticize, “This person also constantly invites Luo Country celebrities to Xuan Country to make money.

Do you know what those Luo Country celebrities say about Xuan Country when they go back?

They say the people of Xuan Country are stupid and flush with cash; whenever they need money, they come to Xuan Country to make a quick buck.

It’s infuriating, isn’t it?”

“Infuriating!” Tang Zhong couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Jiang Weiwei’s indignant demeanor.

Jiang Weiwei was truly outraged.

Xuan Country was deeply overshadowed by Luo Country’s influence, so she was determined to start a fashion company to establish Xuan Country’s traditions and spread Xuan Country’s fashion to the entire world.

Seeing Tang Zhong laugh, she said, “What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing.

I’m not laughing,” Tang Zhong replied, but couldn’t suppress his smile.

“Look at you, you are laughing.

This time, without collaboration from other companies, the clothes you designed can’t be turned into actual products, which will greatly impact our company,” Jiang Weiwei said anxiously.

“Why don’t they want to collaborate?” Tang Zhong asked.

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Weiwei said, her expression changing slightly as she let out a sigh.

Tang Zhong noticed something was off with Jiang Weiwei.

He had a gut feeling that Jiang Weiwei knew exactly why the collaboration wasn’t happening.

At that moment, the man named Qin Ming walked over, smiling and holding a glass of wine.

“General Jiang, have a drink with me,” he said.

“Get lost,” Jiang Weiwei replied coldly and turned to leave.

Qin Ming laughed and blocked Jiang Weiwei’s path, saying, “General Jiang, aren’t you giving me any face at all?

This time, since no one else wants to collaborate with General Jiang, I’ll collaborate with you.

Of course, only if General Jiang is willing to have a drink with me.”

“I said get lost,” Jiang Weiwei continued, her voice cold.

Then, Qin Ming leaned in close to Jiang Weiwei and whispered in an exceedingly low voice, “Jiang Weiwei, how can you not give me any face?

All I want is to have a drink with you.

Just agree, and Qin Family Garments will immediately collaborate with your company.

Of course, if you refuse, look around and see if there’s anyone else willing to collaborate with you.

Of course, you can try.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weiwei’s face turned ugly as she stared at Qin Ming with widened eyes and shouted loudly, “Get out of my way!”

Qin Ming’s expression turned ugly in an instant, and he glared at Jiang Weiwei fiercely, saying, “You’ve got guts.”

Then he turned and walked away.

Every word between the two was heard verbatim by Tang Zhong.

Qin Ming was indeed a problem, and seeing Jiang Weiwei’s anger, he hadn’t seen her so upset before.

Regardless of whether this Jiang Weiwei was the one he was looking for, anyone named Jiang Weiwei made him feel a sense of guilt.

Then, looking at Qin Ming, Tang Zhong stretched out his hand, in which were three grape seeds.

The grapes were from those on the dining table.

Then everyone saw Tang Zhong stretch out his hand and flick it sharply.

The grape seeds shot out.

Aiming for Qin Ming’s backside.

Thwack, Qin Ming, previously full of bluster, suddenly clenched his legs together on the spot, convulsing in pain.
