Chapter 38 The Big Bad Wolf
The typhoon shelter-style stir-fried crab, of unknown origin, was still steaming. On the exquisitely carved porcelain plate, a card was tucked into a crab claw; the crooked handwriting was all too familiar to Jiang Manman:
【TO: Manman】

Thank you for your kind words.

But how did Xie Jian know that he had come to Gangdu and was staying at this hotel?
Jiang Manman picked up her phone, wanting to chat with Xie Yunxi, but looking at Xie Yunxi's name in the WeChat chat window, she still felt a strange sense of unease. After thinking for a moment, she gave up the idea of ​​contacting him.

Back in the capital, Mu Chan Studio immediately went into a spinning state.

After several rounds of traffic acquisition, Mu Chan's live stream room has also gained tens of thousands of stable fans, and the top spot on the leaderboard is always occupied by "Yu Yu".

In addition to the large group of socialites in Beijing, several female celebrities with whom Sena has good personal relationships also placed orders.

The picky Sena became Jiang Manman's least picky customer, basically catering to Jiang Manman's aesthetic preferences.

Only recently did she revert to her nitpicking nature:

"Boss Jiang, I want an outfit that looks really eye-catching, with lots of bright and vibrant colors, all sorts of colors."

While making notes, Jiang Manman asked curiously, "What occasion is it for?"

"Our company's young master is returning to the country soon to take over Shengshi Entertainment, and the company will be holding a welcome party for him. I've heard that this young master Chen particularly likes exaggerated and unconventional outfits. I'm thinking that if I can make an impression on him, it'll be easier to snatch resources from him in the future!"

Jiang Manman mentally went through several young male celebrities with the surname Chen in Beijing's entertainment circle, then raised an eyebrow: "Chen Jinzhou?"

"How did you know, Mr. Jiang? It seems your connections are wider than I thought!" Sena's tone rose a few degrees. "Since you know him, you must know him to some extent. I only need the dress to be stunning; you can handle the rest."

Jiang Manman nodded: "Okay."

By the end of the month, the new employees were gradually getting back on track, and Jiang Manman planned to organize a studio dinner.

She instructed Jiang Rong: "Book a high-end club with a good environment and good privacy, and also prepare a red envelope for each employee."

Jiang Rong glanced at the schedule: "Is Saturday night okay?"

"can."

At night, Jiang Manman still worked overtime until 11 p.m. before going home.

These past few days, Yan Changye has been away from home, attending international trade negotiations abroad, which has given Jiang Manman a few days of peace and quiet.

On Saturday morning, the usually tense Mu Chan Studio was given a day off. Jiang Manman woke up naturally and casually opened the latest business news to read.

Several business sectors are closely following the global trade conference that Yan Changye attended, and if nothing unexpected happens, the results should be out this morning.

Sure enough, Jiang Manman saw several related reports:
[The Xie family conglomerate has secured a 60% global market share for the SKY brand. At 8:00 AM, Xie Yunxi, CEO of the Xie family conglomerate, and Mr. Will, the founder of SKY, signed a contract to establish the partnership.]

The Xie family conglomerate has reached a financial cooperation agreement with BlackRock. Xie Yuheng and Xie Yunxi, the two heads of the Xie family conglomerate, both appeared at last night's high-level business reception to discuss the cooperation in depth with BlackRock.

Jiang Manman's relaxed expression stiffened slightly.

If she remembered correctly, a few days ago she saw two business documents from SKY and BlackRock on her bedside table. The young master, who never liked going to work, had been calmly studying the documents for several days and left with a confident look on his face.

Now, it has been hijacked by the Xie family conglomerate?

Moreover, it was Xie Yunxi, a man whose name he had only heard of but never met, who personally accepted the order from one of his few WeChat friends.
Jiang Manman searched through several international news articles but couldn't find Xie Yunxi's photo. Even Yan Changye and Xie Yuheng's photos didn't appear online, clearly indicating that they had been specially processed.

Jiang Manman sent Yan Changye a WeChat message in a tactful way: "Are you alright?"

Yan Changye had just gotten off the plane.

He got into the van that came to pick him up, leaned back comfortably in the seat, and was about to send a message to Jiang Manman when her message came first.

Jiang Manman: [Are you alright?]

Y: [Missing your husband?] Jiang Manman: [Didn't Xie Yunxi intercept your order?]

Yan Changye's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he did not reply.

No. 1 Mansion.

The car stopped in the villa's parking lot.

The once carefree and dashing young master, with his relaxed demeanor, suddenly lost his air of ease and became somewhat listless the moment the carriage door opened.

Shen Zongqian, who opened the car door for him, immediately asked with concern, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Yan Changye ignored him, his gaze fixed on Jiang Manman who was coming to greet him, and his demeanor became increasingly depressed.

Jiang Manman walked up to him, her almond-shaped eyes showing a hint of worry: "Yan Changye, it's just that we lost two projects."

Shen Zongqian opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Yan Changye gave him a cold, piercing look, and he immediately fell silent.

Then they heard the young master speak to Jiang Manman in a resentful and low voice, "I'm in a bad mood, please comfort me, Madam."

Jiang Manman asked knowingly, "What kind of comfort do you want?"

He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "I brought back five sets of lingerie for you from abroad this time..."

Her voice was sexy, her eyes innocent, like a big bad wolf begging for mercy.

Then, he put his arm around Jiang Manman's slender waist and led her back to the bedroom.

Inside the restaurant, the butler watched as the dishes on the table went cold and were reheated repeatedly. Finally, he glanced at the master bedroom door, which had been closed for several hours, and ordered the dishes to be removed from the kitchen.

As evening fell, Jiang Manman changed her clothes to go out, and Yan Changye wrapped himself around her from behind:
"Chen Jinzhou is back in China. Tonight, one of my good buddies has arranged a party for him. It's all with the six major families, you know them. Want to go join the fun?"

Jiang Manman, delicate and weak, slapped his hand away with little strength: "Mu Chan has an employee gathering tonight."

Yan Changye gave her a light bite on the neck, saying, "Fine."

Half past six in the evening.

Chang'an Club.

Unlike the Blue Ocean Club, which specializes in creating ambiguous relationships, the Chang'an Club is the private domain of the very top echelons of Beijing's elite circle. It has extremely high requirements for its members, and the membership fees are equally outrageously high.

But in terms of privacy and features, it is unmatched in the entire Beijing entertainment circle.

This is Yan Changye's territory.

Therefore, it became Jiang Rongxuan's first choice when selecting a club – it was safe and saved money.

In addition to the extremely luxurious clubhouse lobby, the club also has more than a dozen top-of-the-line private rooms. Jiang Rong's private room is number 2, a large room of 200 square meters, which is more than enough to accommodate Mu Chan's more than a dozen employees.

When Jiang Manman arrived, everyone else was already there. They were all sitting quietly, not daring to speak or wander around. They said they came out to relax, but each of them looked more and more uneasy.

Jiang Manman paused at the door before entering the private room and gesturing for Jiang Rong to close the door behind her.

Half an hour later.

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards and club executives, Yan Changye gracefully kicked open the door to Box 1 of the Chang'an Club.
