Chapter 873 Vase
Jiang Yang went out the door.
The sun had set, but it wasn't dark yet. The clouds in the sky were bright, while the streets on the ground were slightly dark. The streetlights had just been turned on, and pedestrians hurried by. The aroma of cooking food wafted from the roadside stalls and snack shops.
very nice.
Jiang Yang didn't know why it was good, but he just felt that this moment was good. He stood on the steps, waited for the cars to thin out, crossed the street, went up the steps, greeted Paopao Ma who was sitting at the entrance of Chuanrenju picking vegetables, thanked her for her kindness in staying for dinner, and slowly glided across the street, finally stopping at the traffic light and putting away his skateboard.
The red light was a bit long, so Jiang Yang took out his phone and scrolled through it for a while. By the time he put his phone down, the green light had already passed, and it was red again. He reluctantly put his phone back in his pocket and continued waiting. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone taking pictures of him with their phone. It was two young people. Jiang Yang nodded to them and looked across the street. He saw a couple on the other side of the road also looking at him and talking quietly, seemingly trying to identify him. They were holding a child who looked about one or two years old.
The green light is on.
After Jiang Yang parked the car, he walked onto the pedestrian crossing. As he passed the couple who were still watching him, he nodded to them, then entered the park, got on his skateboard, and headed to the Longfu Clubhouse restaurant in the residential area.
Li Qingning sat in her usual seat, with an empty seat next to her reserved for Jiang Yang. On her other side sat a rather elegant woman, followed by several other people.
Li Qingning was chatting with a few people when Jiang Yang came in and spotted him immediately, waving to him.
The group of people who were talking stopped. The woman sitting next to Li Qingning glanced at Jiang Yang, then looked back at Li Qingning. Seeing that Li Qingning was smiling at Jiang Yang, she looked back at Jiang Yang again.
When she heard the news of Li Qingning's marriage, she called Li Qingning almost immediately. After all, how should I put it, Li Qingning's marriage was not just her marriage.
Now it seems--
She probably knew why it was so sudden.
It wasn't that she thought Jiang Yang was more handsome in person than in the paparazzi photos, making her think Xiao Ning had been tricked. It was that the moment she saw Jiang Yang, she was reminded of the first time she saw Li Qingning performing on the street when she took her away from her teacher.
how to say.
She didn't know how to say it.
Jiang Yang waved to them, handed the skateboard to the staff member, thanked him, and then walked over.
"My husband, Jiang Yang."
After Jiang Yang walked up to them, Li Qingning stood up and introduced him to the group.
Then, she introduced several people to Jiang Yang one by one. Sitting next to her was Sister Zhan, who is now the product manager of Soundtech. She used to be the vice president of Taiyi Music Group and a student of Li's mother. She was the one who created the "Big Demon King" headphone brand. Later, she left Taiyi Music and co-founded a headphone brand with Li Qingning. After it was acquired by Damai, she went to Soundtech.
The other middle-aged man is the founder of WF Capital.
The remaining two were a couple. The woman was quite pretty, but Jiang Yang felt she was far inferior to his wife. The man was Lao Mai, the owner of Damai.
Jiang Yang couldn't help but glance at him.
He knows DaMai; this guy makes mobile phones, and his company is probably on par with Vivo and Oppo.
Jiang Yang shook hands with each of them. After shaking hands with Lao Mai, Lao Mai took a cell phone from his wife and said, "I heard that you like playing games, Xiao Jiang. Here, take this phone. It'll be more than enough for any game you want to play."
Jiang Yang looked at Li Qingning.
Li Qingning: "Mr. Mai, you're very kind."
Jiang Yang thanked Old Mai and accepted the phone, then washed his hands and sat back down. The food had already been ordered; Jiang Yang and Li Qingning had a private menu, and the restaurant knew what they couldn't eat. While eating, Jiang Yang kept examining his phone. He didn't actually lack phones; his Blueberry—its status here was roughly equivalent to Apple over there—had been bought for him by Li Qingning as soon as the new model came out. But he still really enjoyed the feeling of getting a new phone and unpacking it.
The phone's packaging is exquisite. Although you can't see what's inside, it looks pretty good.
Meanwhile, Old Mac's wife was also weighing the situation.
She wasn't judging Jiang Yang; she was judging Li Qingning. Before they came, Lao Mai had reminded her that they were the ones asking for a favor this time. Since they were both women, she was there to support them and make sure things went smoothly.
What can be done?
She couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Let alone her, this cannon fodder, even Old Mai—this high and mighty man who speaks his mind and has an ambiguous relationship with his female secretary abroad, making her afraid to ask too many questions—is powerless in front of Li Yu.
but--
Mai's wife did not feel uncomfortable.
Well, to put it simply, as a cannon fodder character, she sometimes chimes in with something that lacks emotional intelligence and spoils the mood. Not to mention the awkwardness of Old Mai giving him a sidelong glance, she even wants to slap herself for it. But Li Yu can handle it and chat with her for a bit.
It turned out that Li Qingning was now helping her out.
This warmed Mai's heart, and her gaze towards Li Qingning softened.
No wonder luxury brands choose fish as their brand ambassadors.
No wonder Lao Mai said that if the brand wants to move upmarket, it has to get Li Yu.
She's so charming.
It's not the kind of elegant, beautiful, or captivating charm, but rather a kind of charm that even Mai's wife can't quite describe—it's just very charming, the kind of charm that warms you up and heals you.
She's so charming.
Mai's wife was amazed.
When she got to the back, she simply stopped talking and just stared at Li Yu, like a withered seedling suddenly encountering a spring of sweet water. She watched Li Qingning's every smile and frown, her earrings shimmering under the light, a pleasing sight that made her dizzy and mesmerized.
Then--
Her mental spa was interrupted.
Jiang Yang forked a piece of Rossini steak from Li Yu's plate, then glanced at Mai's wife.
Mai's wife: ...
Is it a declaration of sovereignty?!
You're awesome.
That's really impressive.
Li Qingning has been on a diet recently and hasn't been eating much. Thinking that Jiang Yang liked the steak, she cut it up and pushed it to him. After Jiang Yang forked a piece, he glanced at Mai's wife, his eyes showing smugness.
Oh shit!
Mai's wife couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly; she simply couldn't imagine how well this grandson ate normally.
Oh shit!
After the dinner party ended.
When they parted, Mai's wife finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ning, let's add each other as friends."
"Okay."
Li Qingning took Jiang Yang's phone, which he was playing with, and added Mai's wife as a friend. Jiang Yang watched her from the side, and Mai's wife always felt there was something strange in his eyes, but who cared? After adding him as a friend, Mai's wife said goodbye happily. Only after getting into the car and feeling more at ease did Mai's wife open her phone, with the same feeling she had when she first watched a movie—this analogy is rather strange, but Mai's wife felt it couldn't be more apt—and open Li Qingning's WeChat Moments.
Li Qingning's profile picture appears to have been taken in a recording studio.
This photo was probably taken when she first debuted. She's wearing a shirt with rolled-up sleeves, her hair in a bun, her makeup not particularly elaborate, and her casual clothes. She's standing in the recording studio with her bright eyes and white teeth, one hand in her pocket.
Imagine Li Qingning's approachable demeanor just now.
Mai's wife squeezed her legs together, finding it very attractive.
however--
Just when she thought the appetizer was so amazing and that she would get a better glimpse into Li Qingning's life later, she discovered that Li Qingning rarely posted on WeChat Moments. The few posts she did share were mostly pictures of Jiang Yang—things like taking Jiang Yang fishing on a yacht, going to a museum, attending an art exhibition, or enjoying delicious food.
Or maybe Jiang Yang is painting, cooking, reading, or typing on the computer, and you post a picture or two of him. Seriously, girl, is this guy really that good-looking? You even have to post it on your WeChat Moments just because he's spacing out?
He's totally obsessed with love!!
Mai's wife was filled with hatred.
"call."
Old Mai breathed a sigh of relief, "The matter has finally been settled."
Mai's wife didn't provide any support, but WF's investors acted as intermediaries, achieving the same effect. Although he had to take some losses, it was nothing compared to Mai's strategy of moving upmarket this year.
Jiang Yang, however, surprised him. He rarely spoke at the table; you couldn't even get close to him, let alone talk to him. He was completely silent.
Mai's wife: "A vase."
"Correct."
Old Mai wholeheartedly agreed. This grandson didn't care about his family's business at all, and wouldn't even listen to a word. Later on, he simply started playing games on the side. When his own phone ran out of battery, he took his wife's phone to continue playing, without making a sound or disturbing their conversation. Old Mai had never seen anyone more self-conscious about being a mere ornament than him.
They have absolutely no ambition.
Old Mai still hoped he would say a few more words.
When Lao Mai talked about the sincerity of Damai's acquisition of the headphone brand last time, Jiang Yang asked Li Qingning in a low voice with doubt. Lao Mai took the opportunity to talk about the sincerity of the last acquisition. When he heard so many zeros, Jiang Yang's eyes lit up.
The effect is still very good.
Then Jiang Yang stopped talking and became even more at ease playing around.
This lack of ambition—
Old Mai lamented, "What's wrong with young people these days?"
Mai's wife: ...
