Xu Chengzhou glanced at the five people approaching, and based on intuition and guesses, said to Louis, "Hello, Mr. Louis. My name is Xu Chengzhou. I heard you were dining here today and took the liberty of coming to see you."
As he spoke, he snatched the combination case from his assistant.
"Would you mind giving me a moment? I have a rare treasure here that I’d like to present to you."
Xu Chengzhou’s face was full of smiles, almost obsequiously servile as he buttered up effusively.
Louis measured him up and down, noting his expensive full Hermes suit and the million-dollar Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
"I don’t remember you. We haven’t met before, have we?"
"Indeed, we haven’t met before. Today is our first meeting."
Xu Chengzhou greeted him with a smile, but Louis was clearly uninterested.
"Make an appointment with my assistant, but I’m not guaranteed to meet."
Having said that, he stepped forward, attempting to grab Jiang Man’s arm to lead her into the private room.
Xu Chengzhou saw this scene, and his brow immediately furrowed.
Why could Jiang Man go in while he could not?
Not only could he not, but he also needed to make an appointment? And still might not get the chance?
What a joke!
His status in the entertainment industry was far higher than Jiang Man’s, so why was she being treated like a distinguished guest?
"Mr. Louis, may I ask what merits Jiang Man has to join your table?"
This question perplexed Jiang Man.
It also perplexed the five people.
Why?
Because Jiang Man had perfect pitch, a talent treasured by Louis.
Because tonight they were to discuss Barrett’s new album, and Jiang Man was the main topic.
Mrs. Lan Xiang was supposed to return to their home country but decided to stay another night for a friend, hoping to persuade Jiang Man to agree to the collaboration.
"Why she deserves it is none of your business. Who are you to ask?"
Louis looked annoyed, then turned to his assistant, "Get this lunatic out of here!"
"Right away!" The assistant immediately pulled out a phone and called for the restaurant’s security to come over.
Xu Chengzhou hadn’t intended to offend a financier; he was here to network, not to be despised.
"Mr. Louis, you misunderstand me, I didn’t come here to cause trouble. I’m quite sincere!"
As he said this, he clumsily clutched the combination case and opened it.
"Look, I heard you love Chinese antiques. Would you be interested in these Buddha Beads that were once used by Empress Dowager Cixi?"
The moment the combination case opened, a refreshing waft of sandalwood fragrance emerged.
The scent was faint yet lingered.
Even those unfamiliar with antiques would find the Buddha Beads lying quietly in the case astonishingly beautiful on first sight, with their color and luster.
The beads displayed a sea amber color with patterns resembling landscapes in ink paintings, majestic and robust.
The beads were covered in a fluorescent layer, the base was translucent and the luster was just right.
Jiang Man glanced at them, quite surprised.
Genuine Zhenxiang yellow sandalwood, which was expensive on the market!
She was surprised that the man who had once given a counterfeit as a betrothal gift to the Chen Family’s young lady was so generous today, offering Louis a genuine meeting gift.
Was Chen Anna easy to deceive, or was Xu Chengzhou being selectively generous?
Louis had no understanding of Chinese antiques at all; his worldwide hunt for antiques was all for Jiang Man’s sake.
The exquisite items he acquired were always handed over to Jiang Man.
"Rebel, what do you think?" Louis casually looked at Jiang Man, waiting for her response.
If she liked it, then he wouldn’t mind humoring this man.
If she didn’t like it, well, he wouldn’t hesitate to kick the man out!
Jiang Man furrowed her brow and shook her head, "A gentleman loves wealth, obtained in a moral way. I think we should pass on these Buddha Beads."
"Alright," Louis smiled.
The next second, his face darkened, and he said to his assistant, "Kick them out!"
Xu Chengzhou was frozen, somewhat confused.
As the CEO of Universal Records, why was he listening to a young girl like that?
What kind of background did Jiang Man have!
Xu Chengzhou thought about the helicopter that came to rescue them on the night of the wilderness survival.
Mi Duo and Zhou Ying said the helicopter was carrying Jiang Man’s sugar daddy, but he hadn’t believed it at the time.
Now thinking about it, it absolutely was!
If Jiang Man wasn’t being sponsored and kept, could she afford to play such big cards?
Xu Chengzhou’s gaze shifted back and forth, landing on Louis and quickly staying on Jiang Man.
"So that’s the way it is," he said, acting as if he was clever enough to see through everything.
The way Louis looked and spoke was too much like cajoling a little lover.
So, Jiang Man’s sugar daddy was Louis?
This analysis made total sense.
On the night of the Weibo event, Jiang Man and Wen Rui emerged out of nowhere.
Before that, both were virtually invisible in the entertainment industry, but suddenly blew up that night.
Afterward, they were even invited by the "Food and Distant Places" program to share the stage with him and celebrities like Lu Zhan.
From the start, he wondered how Wen Rui, being so plain, had become popular?
Now it all clicked — there was capital behind her!
Heard that Wen Rui and Jiang Man were cousins, so it wasn’t impossible for Louis to entertain both at the same time.
Enjoying the company of both sisters at once, quite a playboy, aren’t we?
"Mr. Louis, please don’t be deceived by Jiang Man, she pretends one thing and does another, she’s very good at seducing men privately, beware she doesn’t make you a cuckold. When she participated in the variety show, she not only threw glances at me, but also flirted with another male celebrity, Bei Ling, behind everyone’s back. You don’t know, Bei Ling had prepared a lot of fireflies for her, it was so romantic between them without the crew knowing!"
Xu Chengzhou, feigning good intentions, wanted to take this opportunity to earn favor, letting Louis see the true colors of this trashy woman and remember his kind warning.
Louis, hearing all this gossip about Jiang Man, suddenly became interested.
His lips curled up, his eyes gleaming, "Rebel, you’re pretty good, how come you act like someone who’s immune to the opposite sex around me? Did I mistake you?"
"Don’t listen to his nonsense," Jiang Man rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"Whether I’m talking nonsense, the crew knows it! Mr. Louis, ask the program’s cameramen, they were warned by those two not to film, but they saw everything with their own eyes!"
"Ridiculous!" Jiang Man was almost at a loss for words, "Do I have a grudge against you?"
Xu Chengzhou gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "You caused me to lose Chen Anna as a sugar mommy, of course I have to return the favor and let you taste losing a sugar daddy!"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Man was baffled.
Chen Anna broke up with him, what did that have to do with her?
Also, making her lose a sugar daddy?
Huh?
Her gaze inadvertently fell on Louis.
Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows, trying to hold back a chuckle.
Couldn’t be, right?
Xu Chengzhou thought Louis was sponsoring and keeping her?
Her tastes weren’t that bad to fall for this sulky man.
All day with a sullen face, although just over thirty, he already looked like an old man.
"Hahaha, I’m amused. Poker face, this lunatic thinks I’m your kept canary,"
Jiang Man said gleefully.
With that, the five people present were all speechless.
The man before them was indeed a lunatic...
