?Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Don’t Forget Our Agreement Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Don’t Forget Our Agreement Hengzhong Group, in the chairman’s office.
Behind the desk, Mo Chen examined the documents with a stoic expression.
All signs indicated that the car ident might not be as simple as he had thought.
Why had he been driving in circles on the mountain road?
The office was dead silent as he deepened into contemtion.
But every time he tried to focus on the residual video images in his mind, his temples would throb involuntarily.
He closed his eyes, his long fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, slightly exhausted.
Mo Chen threw the document he was holding onto the desk and took out a cigarette to light and ce between his lips.
There was always a touch of ruffian about his handsome features when he smoked.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
He picked it up and nced at it, the corners of his mouth curving into an indulgent smile.
As he held the phone to his ear, Qiao Ruoxin’s sweet and soft voice came through, “Brother Mo Chen?”
“Hmm…”
“You’re going to a big banquet tonight, aren’t you?”
The man flicked ash from the cigarette between his fingers, “What about it?”
“I’m going there to meet a director, don’t forget our agreement. Keep our distance in public, pretend we don’t know each other, okay?”
“…”
He felt a sudden urge to strangle this ‘Little Ghost’.
Did she call especially to remind him of that?
Mo Chen’s tone was unpleasant, “Wear that ne!”
With that, he hung up the phone.
He began to wonder why he had ever agreed to Qiao Ruoxin’s terms in the first ce.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Xiaowu entered the office, standing in front of the desk, “Boss Mo, Little Lawrence has found Miss Jiang Ruolin in the United States. She’s at the hospital having a check-up, and she’s clinging to him. He can’t get away.”
He leaned back in his swivel chair, scoffing, “Hmm… don’t let him idle away.”
“Yes, understood!”
…
In the evening.
The grand banquet tonight was held in a garden vi in the suburbs, with picturesque scenery.
Qiao Ruoxin had changed into a te-grey strappy long dress with a flowing tulle hem.
Tonight, she hade with her girl group ‘Lucky Girls’.
Song Yingying looked at her evening gown for tonight and smiled, “Wow, a Disney runaway princess style?”
“Don’t know, the costume designer put it together.” Her gaze swept the room, not finding Mo Chen; perhaps he hadn’t arrived yet?
“What are you looking for? Looking for Boss Mo? I think I overheard someone say he was sitting by the pool.”
Qiao Ruoxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief; so he was by the pool.
Song Yingying said, “Hey, why aren’t you making your move? I’ve seen Kong Ling wandering around the venue; she seems to have already snagged a lead role.”
“To be the lead in a flop is worse than a minute-long cameo in a big director’s movie.”
“You’ve got ambitions, aiming straight for the film industry?”
“Is it so surprising? I’m a film academy graduate, and I don’t want to leave myself with a history of bad projects.”
If she ever wanted to be Mo Chen’s wife, even marry and have children, she’d need to take care of her reputation.
After all, although the Qiao Family was a minor wealthy family,pared to the Mo Family, she was indeed poor.
Qiao Ruoxin’s gaze swept across the venue until she finally saw the well-known director she wanted to meet.
She walked over with poised and light steps, her figure graceful.
“Director Chen, hello, I am Qiao Ruoxin.”
“Oh… the recent ‘Idol 101’ champion, right? My daughter has been following that show; she likes you very much.”
She chuckled, “Thank you for the love. I heard you’re looking for actors for a cameo role, do you think I could fit the bill?”
Director Chen smiled, “You are refreshingly straightforward and not coy. I heard that at 16, you were admitted by both the dance academy and film academy, that’s exactly what I’m looking for; I need someone who can do ssical dance.”
