"You still need to cultivate slowly. It's still too early for you to learn the Fiery Eyes of Truth like Xu Mengyun." Ouyang Jue unconsciously brought up Xu Mengyun, because he knew that this Miss Xu was her idol and role model in Ning Caier's heart.
But she never expected that just as he finished speaking, a loud voice came from behind, "Ouyang Jue, who do you think is a monkey?"
Long time no see, Miss Xu.
When Ning Caier saw her politely standing up to greet him, her eyes slid from Xu Mengyun's smiling face all the way to her hands. This was because she did not come alone, and her hands were wrapped around the crook of a man's arm.
Last time, when the two of them appeared together, although they were standing very close to each other, they still maintained a certain distance from each other. Looks like Miss Xu didn't have to travel on business this time, but to spend her honeymoon outside.
"So you guys are here to eat too."
Ouyang Jue had also seen Xu Mengyun's hand. She was wearing a light blue jacket over his shoulders and black pants, although it still looked like a professional attire, it was a huge breakthrough for her. Especially the way she was holding onto Ling Tian, it wasn't a perfunctory gesture of putting her hand on, but rather the fact that half his body's weight was pressed against the top, making his feel extremely intimate.
If he hadn't seen her face, Ouyang Jue wouldn't have believed this person's Xu Mengyun, so he gestured with his hands but didn't know what to say.
"That's right, how can I hear you speak ill of me if I'm not here? So this is what you think of me in front of others." Xu Mengyun's face was flushed red from pouting. She didn't give Ouyang Jue a chance to retort and directly took Ling Tian to the side, where he sat on a crater. "I will remember what happened today. I will settle with you next time."
The place where Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian sat wasn't too far away from where Ouyang Jue was, so he could clearly see them from here. The two of them weren't sitting face to face, but were squeezed together in a seat.
"Looks like the relationship between Miss Xu and himself has progressed further. Maybe we'll be able to drink their wedding wine very soon."
Ning Caier also turned to look at them. The intimacy of the two of them was to the point that it was musky, even when they were ordering dishes, Xu Mengyun's hand still did not leave Ling Tian's arm. She looked at him and continuously smiled, that kind of warm smile that came from the bottom of her heart, was even deeply influenced by Ning Caier.
The kitchen knife in Ouyang Jue's hand stopped in midair, he shook his head from time to time, laughing and sighing from time to time. This kind of strange reaction made Ning Caier not know what was happening, she looked at him nervously, but Ouyang Jue just kept waving his hand.
"Cai'er, I might have misunderstood something, and made a joke out of it."
Ouyang Jue sat there and laughed non-stop. He saw Xu Mengyun propping the hair on the table with the elbow of her hand and stroking it from time to time.
Suddenly, Ouyang Jue realised that he was not a good mentor in love. Love was, if he had taught Xu Mengyun how to act like this in the past, she would definitely not agree to it, but everything was natural now.
He suddenly realised that he had been showing her the wrong thing to do during this period of time. No matter what happened between Xu Mengyun and her, it should be from her heart, and had nothing to do with TiaoAo Group's business. When he thought about how he had actually been tricked by Qin Lang that guy for so long, he immediately felt that he was just a fool. How could Xu Mengyun sell herself out for business?
"Cai'er, let's go. I really want to have a big meal right now, and this small place won't be able to satisfy me."
It had been a long time since he had a good meal and he felt especially hungry. Now that he could eat an entire cow, it would be best if he could find an upscale buffet for him to stay there for the whole afternoon.
"CEO Ouyang, come and sit together with us."
When Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier were about to leave, they saw Ling Tian waving at them, he did not have any plans to eat with the man, and he felt that although the seat opposite to Xu Mengyun was empty, the degree of sticky between the two of them made it feel like everyone in the restaurant had to immediately move away.
"Forget it, your sugar is too high. I'm afraid you might get diabetes."
Ouyang Jue watched as Ling Tian pointed at Xu Mengyun and joked with him. He felt that Xu Mengyun had changed too much and did not look like a tall lady at all.
"Sit down. I'm not used to her doing this in the beginning, but now it feels very good."
Ling Tian insisted that Ouyang Jue sit opposite of him and Xu Mengyun. He had lost a lot of face the last time they had met, so he wanted to properly take back his face today. He wanted to let Ouyang Jue see that Xu Mengyun's heart already belonged to someone else.
Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier found it difficult to accept, but they could only sit down, but they did not plan to stay for long, they simply ordered two cups of coffee, and when they saw the two large candies in front of them, they started to exude a strong sense of sweetness.
"You guys didn't come back to announce the wedding, did you? No matter where the wedding is, we have to properly organize it. When the time comes, I'll definitely give you a big gift."
Ouyang Jue felt that the things around them had changed too quickly. It had only been half a month since he had last seen Xu Mengyun and she and their relationship had already become as intimate as glue. This couldn't help but make him think that the reason they had come back this time was very likely to be to discuss marriage. If Xu Mengyun could really succeed in cultivating this marriage, then his fake ex-fiancé could also succeed and leave.
"We'll talk about the marriage sooner or later, but what I want to talk about today is business."
Ling Tian suddenly retracted the smile on his face. He had bought a few domestic management companies this time, and planned to reorganize the artists and programs of these companies. Ouyang Jue's industry was also involved in this part, so he wanted to work together with him to push these third tier artists to the front line.
Everything in the country had to be packaged and praised. If he had the support of the Ouyang Family's resources, he believed that the value of these little artistes would increase by several fold.
Ling Tian's words were very passionate, but he suddenly felt the fingers on his arm relax, he promised Xu Mengyun that he would stop coveting Tian Ao's shares, but that did not mean he would give up on this piece of fat, so he planned to work together with Ouyang Jue, using Tian Ao's platform to help him obtain more resources.
"The TiaoAo Group has only just set foot in the entertainment industry and is still not mature enough. I'm afraid that I cannot help the Mr. Ling."
He did not want to form a partnership with Ling Tian, furthermore, he knew what his motive for buying so many brokerages was. Maybe the reason he wanted all these small entertainers was because he wanted them to help his company earn money while maintaining public relations.
Now that he wanted to make them famous, he only wanted to sell them for a good price. This sort of reputation as a pimp wouldn't be linked to it.
"CEO Ouyang is too modest, I heard that the people you have sent recently were all focusing on entertainment to make it bigger. If that's the case, why don't we form a strong alliance? Could it be that you wish to have an opponent like me in the business world?"
Ling Tian did not plan to give up. At the same time, he also sent out a threat, it was not a big problem for him to not be Ouyang Jue's partner, but if he became the enemy of Sky Ao, then it would be a huge disaster for the group.
He looked at Ouyang Jue with a sharp gaze, forcing him to give an answer right now, whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"Mr. Ling doesn't have any long-term friends in the business world, and he doesn't have any long-lasting enemies. There are still many opportunities after this cooperation project becomes unnegotiable, and Xu's has always been cooperating with Tian Ao. This can also be considered cooperation between Mr. Ling and Tian Ao."
Ling Tian was Xu Mengyun's lover, so in the future, they would have a lot of opportunities to meet each other in the business world. If she were to put everyone in an awkward position right now, then how would they continue to develop their cooperation projects in the future?
"That's right, we can talk about business any time. I'm already hungry, so why don't you order?"
Xu Mengyun could tell that Ning Caier was trying to find a way out for everyone, so she only needed to say a few sentences to calm down. She felt that Ning Caier's ability to manage public affairs had increased recently, so she added in a few sentences and tugged at Ling Tian's clothes.
"Mr. Ling, we won't disturb your and Miss Xu's mood. Use it slowly." Ouyang Jue took this opportunity to stand up. He wouldn't give Ling Tian the slightest opportunity to get involved with Sky Ou. If he really wanted to marry Xu Mengyun, he had to terminate his cooperation with Xu's as soon as possible so that he wouldn't extend his hand to Sky Ou's side.
"You're making your own decisions again, why don't you discuss this with me!"
immediately let go of Ling Tian's hand, she felt that he had been doing more and more things lately, and actually wanted to use this threat to take away their resources. She knew that Ling Tian had a lot of human connection s here, but this was not a foreign country after all, not a place for him to make decisions.
"Don't you think that this is a good idea? Although the few companies that we have purchased this time are all minor artists, but they all have good innate conditions. If we have a good platform, we can definitely bring out their greatest potential."
Ling Tian said as he observed Xu Mengyun's reaction. What he said was a common rule in the business world and there was nothing special about it, but from beginning to end, Xu Mengyun's face had been gloomy and she did not say a single word.
"You were with me to protect him?"
Everything that Xu Mengyun did was transparent in Ling Tian's eyes, they had seen Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier when they were at the entrance of the dining hall, Xu Mengyun who was originally just standing beside him suddenly hugged his arm tightly, he knew that she was willing to do this for him because she wanted to show him.
However, if she treated herself as an exchange and used her life's happiness in exchange for being able to live a peaceful life with pride, then even if he had to use explosives, he would have to flatten TiaoAo Group and if the woman beside him didn't love him, he could wait. However, if her heart was filled with thoughts about other men every day, he definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
"You are overestimating me, I am not infatuated to the point of sacrificing myself for a man, if not I can just give Xu's to him, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
Xu Mengyun leaned her body to the side and maintained a certain distance from Ling Tian. Since her deliberate approach to Ling Tian was transparent in his eyes, there was no need to maintain an overly close relationship with him.
