Chapter 89: Even More Annoying
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Yan realized that at least two-thirds of the content in the entire brochure was dedicated to promoting the Jiang family. It was understandable since the Jiang family was not only the biggest investor in this gala but also the owners of Glory Entertainment. This meant they monopolized half of the entertainment industry. Naturally, the organizers had to vigorously promote the Jiang family.
Just as Su Yan was flipping through the brochure, a tall figure appeared in the venue. It was Wei Zhou’s good friend, Lan Jian. Many celebrities greeted him when he entered.
“Come here.” Lan Jian waved at a staff member.
The moment Young Master Lan spoke, the staff member hurriedly ran over and respectfully said, “CEO Lan, what can I do for you?”
“What the hell are the organizers doing? Can any random people sit in the middle of the first row?” Lan Jian pointed at Su Yan, who was nearby, and said with an ugly expression.
The staff member glanced at him and hurriedly said, “CEO Lan, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not in charge of the seats, but…”
Lan Jian impatiently interrupted, “I won’t listen to your explanation. Adjust the seat placement this instant. CEO Wei from Excellent Era Corporation is about to arrive.”
The staff member didn’t dare say anything else when Lan Jian got angry. He turned around and left. He didn’t care if the people he had to move were bigshots. Since the higher-ups had given the order, he would do as Lan Jian said.
The staff member walked straight to Su Yan. He did not know Su Yan, so he first looked at the name tag on the seat before he smiled and said: “Miss Su, I’m really sorry. I just received an order to help you change your seat. Your seat is on the side.”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at the seat at the side. She found that the seat was closer to the middle than the current one, and it was facing the camera.
“There’s no need. I’m fine here. Since that is an important seat, you should give it to someone else,” Su Yan refused.
When she refused to move, the staff member said again, “Miss Su, please cooperate. I’m just following orders. You don’t want to see me lose my job because of a seat, right?”
Whatever it was, these words made Su Yan waver. Everyone was human. There were only good people and bad people. People should not be judged based on their social status. Moreover, this staff member’s attitude was very good.
“Alright, let’s change.” Su Yan agreed.
The staff member thanked her profusely. Su Yan had just changed her seat and sat down when she noticed that the name tag on the seat next to her had Lan Jian’s name written on it. Before she could react, Lan Jian walked over. “Su Yan, long time no see.”
Su Yan pretended not to hear him. She did not want to bother with Lan Jian. It was a waste of air to talk to this young master. Moreover, they had nothing to say.
Lan Jian praised, “Su Yan, I didn’t expect you to dress so beautifully. You’re really eye-catching.”
Since he did not attempt to make small talk, Su Yan asked, “CEO Lan, did you manage to catch Miss Summer the other day?”
Lan Jian looked embarrassed. “Erm… I had something to do, so I left early.”
He remembered very clearly that Su Yan had said that Miss Summer was very concerned about other people’s looks and did not like to talk to ugly people. That was why he had lied. He could not admit that he was ugly, right?
The corner of Su Yan’s lips curled up. Lan Jian’s awkward appearance made her feel satisfied, so she also praised him. “CEO Lan, you don’t look half bad yourself. You look handsome, nice, and clean. It would have been even better if you don’t have so much flesh on your face.”
Lan Jian was quite satisfied with the first half of the conversation, but he didn’t feel good about the second half. He felt that it was better not to praise him. Was she not implying he was ugly?
Lan Jian laughed dryly and turned his head to the side without saying anything. He felt he had been insulted and didn’t want to talk to Su Yan for the time being.
Su Yan also quieted down without his interruption. After messing with Lan Jian, she was in a great mood. She felt that at least she didn’t come here in vain, but after a while, she was in a bad mood again.
Under the surge of wild flashes of the media, Wei Zhou walked over with his hands in his pockets and sat directly on the seat next to her that did not have a name tag.
Su Yan regretted it. If she had known that Wei Zhou would come, she would not have agreed to Tang Yitong’s invitation. Lan Jian alone was already very annoying, and now there was an even more annoying man present.
After Wei Zhou had sat down, Lan Jian gave him a look and then pouted at Su Yan. Wei Zhou glanced at him and said, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Lan Jian grinned and looked at Su Yan again. He found that she was sitting there calmly and unperturbed. He did not know whether to sympathize with Wei Zhou or be happy for him.
Lan Jian and Wei Zhou sat on either side of Su Yan as if they had surrounded her. Lan Jian was waiting to watch the show. Wei Zhou had a cold face, but Su Yan was as calm as water. She did not take them seriously at all.
“You ran into your ex-wife in public. How are you feeling now?” Lan Jian took out his phone and sent a message to Wei Zhou.
Wei Zhou glanced at him and replied, “I really want to try my new boxing gloves now and see how much damage they can cause..”
