Chapter 365: Wizardly Elusiveness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having always been able to adapt to situations, Jiang Dongye’s survival instincts stimulated his speed even more, and his expression looked sinister.
Frightened, the director let go. “President Jiang, you… you can pour it.”
He immediately retreated three steps.
A cold sweat broke constantly on his back. At first, he hadn’t been so scared when he heard Jiang Dongye address Qin Ran as “Miss Qin,” but after seeing his attitude, he was really shocked at this moment…
He originally thought that Jiang Dongye’s phrase “I will also suffer” was just an alarmist talk, but it didn’t seem so after seeing his attitude.
The director realized that if Qin Ran really wanted to haggle over every ounce with them… everyone other than Qin Xiuchen, Qin Ling, and her friends would suffer, including Jiang Dongye…
Everyone in Beijing, especially the entertainment industry, trod with caution, for fear that he would accidentally offend someone powerful. But the director didn’t expect that even after being cautious his whole life, he had finally offended someone from the Jiang Corporation!
Having always thought that Qin Ran was Qin Xiuchen’s niece, he apprehensively recalled whether he had offended her in any other way except Tian Xiaoxiao in the past two days.
Beside him, Jiang Dongye withdrew his gaze. After his trip to Continent M with Gu Xichi last year, he had increased his knowledge of the world.
Not to mention the status of Cheng Juan and the Cheng family in Beijing.
Considering only the manor on the other side of Continent M, and the diamond boss that frightened him and Gu Xichi terribly, he really didn’t want to reminisce.
Furthermore, Qin Ran had even made a crack in the ring after fighting with Tang Qing…
He expressed deep fear for her from the bottom of his heart.
This time, it seemed he had really offended her, and even Cheng Juan didn’t bother to pay attention to him. He knew that Qin Ran was a grumpy person, and he had called Gu Xichi in the lounge just now, only to be ignored as well…
Looking up, he felt like if he didn’t take care of this little ancestor who had several big bosses covering for her, he would soon suffer in Beijing.
At the frightening thought of being dominated by Cheng Juan back then, he cursed his subordinates silently several times.
Then, he finished pouring the water very familiarly and turned around to hand it to Qin Ran. His movement was smooth from his experience serving Gu Xichi. “Miss Qin, is the temperature okay? Is it too hot? Or is it cold?”
Seeing Qin Ran pause for a few seconds before finally taking the cup, Jiang Dongye heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he turned to Tian Xiaoxiao and immediately became gentle and elegant. His face even expressed a sincere apology. “You’re Miss Tian, right? My apologies, because of my subordinates’ problem, we’ve caused you to suffer. It’s all a misunderstanding. As for the next show…”
Tian Xiaoxiao was speechless.
His following words fell on deaf ears because she was utterly shocked now.
Jiang Dongye glanced in the director’s direction, who understood it immediately and waved to the remaining cameramen. All the remaining five cameramen aimed their lenses at Tian Xiaoxiao.
Qin Ran hadn’t come to delay the production crew’s filming process.
It was already 7:30 at the moment. She took the cup and walked aside, out of Tian Xiaoxiao’s camera lens range, exiting the shoot location.
Jiang Dongye’s tense spirit from last night now finally eased.
“I was wondering why I didn’t see Xiaoxiao, it turns out you came early.” The show had started recording, and Jing Wen had also recovered from the shock. Her sophisticated acting skills once again successfully concealed her expression, and her tone was as usual as she spoke to Tian Xiaoxiao. She successfully involved several others in the show.
Yan Xi calmly walked over and greeted Tian Xiaoxiao as usual, and even asked if she could send him her composition.
The show was slowly getting on track.
Having been famous since young, what major event hadn’t Qin Xiuchen experienced in the entertainment industry after so many years?
He calmly glanced at Jiang Dongye’s direction. He wouldn’t mention the fact that Jiang Dongye knew Qin Ran, but the main thing was—
With the Jiang family’s current status, Jiang Dongye didn’t have to behave like this to people outside the Cheng family…
Naturally, Qin Xiuchen already guessed that Jiang Dongye had treated him so politely at the hotel because of Qin Ran.
“Film Emperor Qin?” Jing Wen glanced at him and pressed her microphone. “Missing your niece?”
Nodding, Qin Xiuchen’s delicate eyebrows knitted together, and he muttered to himself, “Yes, I was wondering if she would still fancy the Qin family…”
Originally, she thought that once Butler Qin saw Qin Ran, she might return to the Qin family, or perhaps bring them back to the old days. After all, although the Qin family was indeed in dire straits, it still wasn’t comparable to ordinary families.
Moreover, a hidden card was always necessary in Beijing. The Qin family wasn’t very powerful but could still be Qin Ran’s backing. But now, compared to the Jiang family, he would rather not let her return to the Qin family…
“What?” Jing Wen didn’t hear clearly.
He shook his head. “Nothing.”
He reached out to take the task card from Jing Wen calmly, deep in thought.
Nodding, Jing Wen was still pressing the microphone. “Your niece… is so weird.”
Qin Xiuchen glanced at her and paused. “You’re weird!”
Jing Wen quickly changed her choice of word. “I mean mysterious. Mysterious. You said her family had been abducted all those years, so what did she do outside?”
Qin Xiuchen looked down at the mission card and ignored her.

Jiang Dongye was one step behind Qin Ran when the production crew started filming. He lowered his voice and asked carefully, “Miss Qin, shall we go back?”
This matter had blown over, right?
Putting down the cup on the table, Qin Ran glanced at him with dark eyes and a lukewarm expression, and then indifferently nodded.
She turned sideways and was about to round a corner.
With a breeze from the 20 or so staff on the production crew’s outfield, a wide passage was opened with a speed never before seen in their lives.
Qin Ran was speechless.
Seriously.
She walked back from the path they had opened up.
Everyone involuntarily stared in their direction.
Only then did they discover the black car parked not far away.
Jiang Dongye first opened the door of the back seat for Qin Ran to enter, before taking the co-pilot seat.
As soon as he entered, he saw Cheng Mu in the driver’s seat with a lollipop in his mouth, looking blankly at him. He even greeted him. “Young Master Jiang.”
Young Master Jiang… he really wanted to fight him now.
**
At the shooting scene.
After watching the black car drive away, the director wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and directed all the cameras at Tian Xiaoxiao.
In the middle of the recording, he asked if Tian Xiaoxiao was cold.
Used to being taken care of by the crew, Bai Tiantian was now wearing a knee-length skirt that exposed her legs to the air. The cold wind hit her, and goosebumps popped up all over her body, but she didn’t dare to ask the director to go back.
She was afraid that if she went back, she really wouldn’t have a single scene today.
She just tried hard to motion to her manager.
But the manager was still staring at Tian Xiaoxiao in shock and didn’t seem to notice her situation.
Bai Tiantian, who always thought she had Lady Luck on her side, really couldn’t bear it anymore.
She racked her brains and still couldn’t think of what had gone wrong. Tian Xiaoxiao had indeed cozied up to someone powerful, but what did it have to do with her luck?
The production crew’s atmosphere was different from usual today, and even Qin Xiuchen, who adapted well to situations, couldn’t avoid it.
But two people were still the same as usual. One was Qin Ling, Qin Ran’s younger brother.
The second… was Yan Xi.
Other than Qin Ling, he was the only one who remained genuinely calm from beginning to end after seeing Jiang Dongye.
After thinking of his relationship with Qin Ran, Jing Wen still didn’t dare to address him as “Brother.” She didn’t dare to go overboard.
Amidst the production crew.
Qin Xiuchen’s manager finally went to find Boss Wang.
Qin Xiuchen’s manager had followed the crew and was now well-acquainted with Boss Wang. They had even exchanged WeChat. Knowing that Qin Xiuchen was Qin Ran’s uncle, Boss Wang had been very polite to Qin Xiuchen’s manager.
“Is Emperor Yan very familiar with President Jiang as well?” The manager glanced at Boss Wang and asked.
Shaking his head, Boss Wang bluntly said, “No.”
“Then…” Why was Yan Xi so calm? Was his EQ really as low as rumored on the Internet?
Boss Wang seemed to have seen through his thoughts and didn’t dare to mock him at the thought that Qin Xiuchen was Qin Ran’s uncle. He just said, “You know that Yan Xi’s journey has been magnanimous, right?”
The manager nodded. “Yes, because he has so many fans and a God arranger. He has an unprecedented influence in the music scene.”
The God-level arranger Jiang Shanyi was extremely elusive.
“Yes, God arranger.” Boss Wang pursed his lips and lowered his voice. “Many singers have spent a lot of money to check on our Boss Jiang, but do you know that none succeeded?”
Feeling like he had just discovered the top secret of the entertainment industry, the manager leaned in close and said cautiously, “Go on.”
“Because she’s a member of the Yunguang Consortium,” Boss Wang looked at him and quietly said.
