Chapter 1413: Chapter 1413: As long as you do not belittle yourselves, no one can belittle you.

Whether it was Chu Ming, Cheng Binbin, Zhao Lijing, or Yan Ying, none of them knew Ling Ruonan. What surprised them was Ling Ruonan’s beauty.

Both in terms of the exquisiteness of her facial features and her aura, Ling Ruonan completely overshadowed them.

In the presence of Ling Ruonan, they felt overwhelmed by the difference in their demeanors, not to mention the confidence written on her face.

It could be said that Ling Ruonan was like a queen high above, while they were merely ordinary citizens, completely different types of people.

Fang Dongxun paid no mind to the astonishment of several women, quickly stood up, and approached her: "Mrs. Ling, your sudden appearance puts us under a lot of pressure. My legs are shaking!"

"You flatter me, Mr. Fang," Ling Ruonan said as she walked elegantly to Luo Ziling’s side, "I only realized he was here when I saw who was accompanying Ziling. It turns out he was having dinner with Mr. Fang."

"We were about to finish as well," Luo Ziling said as he stood up, ready to leave with Ling Ruonan.

"Mrs. Ling, please take a seat," Fang Dongxun, who had walked up to Ling Ruonan, made a gesture to invite her to sit and then signaled Zhao Lijing, who was sitting next to Luo Ziling, to get up first to make room for Ling Ruonan.

Zhao Lijing stood up in a fluster, giving up her seat to Ling Ruonan.

But Ling Ruonan did not sit, instead, she gestured for Luo Ziling to sit with her on a sofa nearby.

Luo Ziling gladly agreed, taking Ling Ruonan’s hand and sitting down with her.

"Who might these ladies be?" Ling Ruonan asked Fang Dongxun, looking puzzled as if she had just noticed the female celebrities present.

Ling Ruonan’s gaze made Fang Dongxun’s scalp tingle, and he awkwardly replied: "Mrs. Ling, indeed I planned to partner with Ziling to start an entertainment company. Therefore, today I had my girlfriend, Chu Ming, invite some well-known friends for dinner to recruit them. If you find it inappropriate, I will ask them to leave immediately."

The look in Ling Ruonan’s eyes was too intimidating, Fang Dongxun couldn’t help but shiver.

Ling Ruonan glanced over the four female celebrities who had involuntarily stood up, then smiled and said: "I apologize, I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry, hence I am not familiar with them. Dongxun, perhaps you could introduce them to me!"

"Mrs. Ling, you manage so many affairs, it’s natural that you don’t concern yourself with these matters," he said, going on to introduce the four female celebrities present, mentioning their entertainment agencies, their breakthrough works, and their main projects.

After Fang Dongxun finished introducing them, Ling Ruonan elegantly smiled, eyeing the four women once more.

Wherever Ling Ruonan’s gaze fell, every woman felt a wave of tension.

They felt an immense pressure emanating from Ling Ruonan’s eyes.

"You may collaborate to establish a media company, but I do not wish to see anyone tempting Ziling," Ling Ruonan said, her gaze turning somewhat cold. After her eyes turned colder, she looked over the several women present, sending a chill through them.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Luo Ziling was a bit at a loss for words. He didn’t know why Ling Ruonan decided to say all these things today. Could it be that just because she saw two beautiful women beside him, she thought they would seduce him?

Fang Dongxun also found it a bit amusing but still earnestly explained, "Mrs. Ling, rest assured, I will personally handle this matter and ensure that our female stars have no opportunity to seduce Ziling."

"We’re leaving first," Ling Ruonan said, standing up, but she didn’t leave right away, instead she sternly instructed Fang Dongxun, "As for the specifics of the collaboration, draft a plan and let me review it. After all, Ziling lacks experience in this area, how you collaborate afterward, I won’t interfere."

"I will personally report this matter to Mrs. Ling," Fang Dongxun quickly agreed, then reluctance expressed, "Mrs. Ling, please stay a bit longer, it’s rare to have tea with you. It’s quite a coincidence to meet today, please let us accompany you for a while longer."

"No need, I have other matters," Ling Ruonan said, then she softly asked Luo Ziling, "Do you want to stay with them a bit longer, or come back with me?"

"Since we’ve finished eating and discussed all the formalities, I’ll go back with you, to prevent others from coveting your beauty, I’ll be your Flower Protector," Luo Ziling said, while holding Ling Ruonan’s hand. Then he embarrassingly said to Fang Dongxun and the other four women, "Mr. Fang, four beauties, I apologize but I’m leaving first. Next time, it’s my treat, as an apology."

"Then let’s go," Ling Ruonan said, and smiled at Fang Dongxun, and to the other four women, she just nodded slightly to acknowledge them.

When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan walked out of the private room, the four women felt much less pressured.

"Mr. Fang, who is... that woman?" Chu Ming couldn’t help her curiosity and asked softly, "Such a strong presence, it’s my first time experiencing this."

"Now you see?" Fang Dongxun sat down with a thump, lifted the wine cup in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then chuckled, "Do you all think you’re very beautiful? Never thought that a woman old enough to be your mother could still look prettier than you, are you shocked? Yes, she’s in her forties, but can you tell? Moreover, her status, you can’t reach it in several lifetimes."

"Mr. Fang, stop teasing us," Chu Ming playfully begged, "Just tell us what kind of person she is!"

"Twenty years ago, she was Yanjing’s Number One Beauty, and the true princess of Yanjing. Twenty years later, she still holds the title of the princess, the untouchable Number One Beauty. That’s all you need to know," Fang Dongxun answered seriously, "no probing further, it’s not good for you."

This made the curiosity of the four women surge even stronger, however, except for Chu Ming, the other three didn’t dare to ask further.

"Mr. Fang, we just feel so inferior in her presence," Chu Ming couldn’t help but express, "You’re right, standing next to her, we couldn’t even lift our heads, she is so noble, beautiful, and intelligent. However, anyone who becomes her daughter-in-law would be under tremendous pressure. Heh, who’d be lucky enough to be her daughter-in-law?"

"Enough with the gossip," Fang Dongxun sternly brought the conversation back, "Chu Ming and Cheng Binbin are willing to collaborate with us, Yan Ying and Zhao Lijing seem somewhat uninterested. Let’s leave it at that for now, I have to go as well. We’ll gather again when there’s a chance!"

Hearing that Fang Dongxun was also preparing to leave, Yan Ying and Zhao Lijing got a bit nervous, and the two women exchanged glances. Almost in unison, they said, "Mr. Fang, we’d like to join your agency."

Fang Dongxun didn’t reply, just gave them a meaningful look.

"We are just worried about being pursued for breach of contract," Yan Ying explained pitifully.

"Don’t worry about whether it’s a breach of contract or not, I’m only concerned whether you’d like to join our agency," Fang Dongxun said, giving Chu Ming a meaningful look, "In the future, you can recruit people using the same argument. Also, let me tell you, as long as you don’t degrade yourselves, no one can make you look cheap."

Fang Dongxun’s words shook all four women at once.
