At the same time, at Lan Pavilion.
Jiang Xianrou hung up the call. Her eyes darkened and she looked a little cold.
Seeing that she didn’t look too good, her friend beside her asked her in a whisper, “Xianrou, what’s wrong? Who called just now?”
Jiang Xianrou shook her head and forced herself to say perfunctorily, “It’s nothing. It was a call from the school.”
“Oh.” She did not ask further upon hearing that it was some school matters. She turned around and continued singing with the others.
Jiang Xianrou sat alone in the corner of the private room, feeling uncomfortable.
She sat for a few minutes and then checked on Qin Si’s WeChat message on her cell phone. She sent another message to ask Qin Si out to play yesterday, but he still had not replied!
It was quite a slap in the face.
At least before Qiao Nian came to Beijing, Qin Si had never treated her like this. He was too cold and distant now.
She sat there for a moment, unable to suppress the discomfort in her heart. She got up, picked up her cell phone, and walked out. Then, she said to the group of people who usually surrounded her, “You guys go on. I’ll go out for some air.”
She suddenly stood up and went out. Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. Thus, they pretended that nothing had happened and continued having fun after exchanging glances.
…
Outside the private room.
Jiang Xianrou finally breathed some fresh air. She first walked through the corridor to the bathroom to rinse her hands with cold water.
Then, she found a corner and took out her cell phone again when she had calmed down a little.
She saw from the corner of her eye the message that Zhao Ruoqi had sent her as she was flipping through the records. The content of the message was similar to what Liang Lu had just said to her. It also said that the two departments had just had a conflict in the Emerald Pavilion.
However, Zhao Ruoqi’s words were even more direct and unpleasant.
He told her directly in the message that the people from the Clinical Department had gone to the manager of the Emerald Pavilion to argue and even mentioned her name to bank on her status.
However, the manager did not buy it at all. He still insisted on giving the private room to the Chinese Medicine Faculty. He was just short of saying that her reputation was useless.
Jiang Xianrou looked at Zhao Ruoqi’s message with a dark gaze. Then, she read out the last sentence of the message: “We mentioned her name, but the manager of the Emerald Pavilion didn’t give us any face.” She subconsciously pursed her lips, and her expression became even uglier.
Qiao Nian!
It was Qiao Nian again!
She tightened her grip on the cell phone until her knuckles turned white. Jiang Xianrou did not even feel it herself. She was clearly furious.
Liang Lu had told her over the phone that the Chinese Medicine Faculty was gathering to discuss the opening ceremony.
She kept the coldness out of her eyes, lowered her head, and leaned against the wall. Then, she called Jiang Li’s manager with a dark expression.
He picked it up immediately.
“Miss Jiang, what’s the matter? Are you looking for Brother Li? Brother Li is filming an advertisement. You have to wait—”
Jiang Xianrou interrupted him impatiently before the manager could finish speaking, “I’m looking for you.”
“Looking for me?” The manager was stunned.
Jiang Xianrou went straight to the point and said arrogantly, “Regarding the performance I was discussing with you before, the song has been decided. I want to use Zhui Guang’s ‘Nirvana’. Help me tell my brother.”
“Huh?”
Zhui Guang’s Nirvana?!
The manager was a little stunned. The company did not approve of Jiang Xianrou’s request for Jiang Li to attend the opening ceremony of Qing University.
Jiang Li was extremely popular and was one of the top celebrities in the circle. His daily schedule was full, and he couldn’t find any free time.
