Xu Zhi indeed underestimated the capabilities of Mingsheng Group.
Although he paid to get on the hot search, any post related to Mingsheng Group,
as soon as it was published, would immediately be 404'd or blocked. Thus, the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Mingsheng Group couldn't make any waves.
In the end, only the event of Jiang Cheng partying wildly at the Million Bar sparked widespread discussion.
The video of him flaunting his wealth at the bar once again brought the focus back to Jiang Cheng's background.
Last time, he sat firmly in the C-position when gathering with Richest Man Wang and others. This time, he still occupied the C-position while clubbing with several top Second-generation rich individuals in China.
All signs indicated that Jiang Cheng's background was not simple.
However, no information related to his background could be found online.
Even if someone exposed something, netizens didn't believe it.
"Impossible, a big shot like that, and you say his family runs a construction company?"
"What, you're his high school classmate? Hilarious, I'm his roommate!"
"Maybe the person upstairs is right, but it's definitely not a company of such a small scale."
...After parking the car, Jiang Cheng walked towards the cafeteria.
After exiting the parking lot and walking a short distance, he saw a stainless steel staircase and an escalator.
Leading directly to the underground passage.
Following the stairs down, upon entering the cafeteria, a blast of warm air combined with the aroma of food wafted over him.
Looking along the way, there were all sorts of specialty dishes.
In the Sichuan cuisine cafeteria, the signature dishes were the Mala Xiang Guo, Spicy Stir-fried Pork, Laziji, and Scorched Partridge Preserved Eggs that Jiang Cheng was familiar with... Next door, there was also freshly hand-pulled Lanzhou Lamian.
The chef skillfully pulled the dough into thin noodles, cooked them in boiling water, then added delicious beef broth and various seasonings, creating an enticing aroma.
The beverage area offered various milk teas and hand-mixed tea drinks.
Pearl Milk Tea, Matcha Lattes, various fruit teas, etc. The packaging and styles were largely similar to those of external chain stores.
There were also various snacks, such as Jianbing Guozi, skewers, and fried chicken, dazzling the eyes.
Next to the Sichuan cuisine cafeteria, there was also a Guangdong dim sum area.
Various exquisite dim sum, such as Shrimp Dumplings, Char Siu Bao, Egg Tarts, etc... After seeing it all, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, it truly lives up to its reputation as a university in the Capital.
Not only is there a lot of delicious food, but the young ladies' appearances are generally quite high.
In terms of overall scores, not every one reached a value of 90 points.
But most were around 80 points.
Coupled with years of dance practice, their posture was very upright, making them look full of spirit.
Their temperament also added a lot of points.
Jiang Cheng didn't have to wait too long; after about twenty minutes, Chu Ran came jogging in from outside the cafeteria.
However, she clearly wasn't alone.
Behind her followed a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.
Seeing that Chu Ran's face looked even colder than usual, Jiang Cheng frowned and quickly walked towards her.
The man, with one hand in his pocket, confidently said to Chu Ran, "Think about it, beautiful. As long as you believe in me, I can definitely make you a big star."
As he spoke, Zheng Yang's face revealed a hint of a triumphant smile.
However, Chu Ran was clearly not moved by his words.
Instead, she gave him a cold glance and succinctly said, "No need, thank you."
"Don't think I'm lying to you? I'm serious. You must have heard that your Dance Academy has produced many stars, all discovered by talent scouts. Look at Song Qian, if it weren't for us discovering her, could she be doing so well now?"
"Think about it again. I think you're particularly suitable. If you change your mind, you can add my wechat. After you decide, we can discuss it face-to-face."
Zheng Yang said this while handing a business card to Chu Ran.
Seeing the other party sizing her up, his gaze seemed to carry a hint of suggestion.
The slight interest Chu Ran had felt was extinguished once again.
"I know, I've heard. But right now, I just want to dance well and don't plan on acting for the time being. Thank you, please ask someone else."
Seeing that Chu Ran wouldn't take his business card, Zheng Yang stopped her again.
"Miss, don't be in a hurry to leave. Think about it carefully, this is a rare opportunity!"
His meaning was very clear: he insisted she take the business card.
Chu Ran felt annoyed by his persistence, frowned, and said firmly, "Excuse me, I'm really not interested. Please stop bothering me."
He had seen many girls like Chu Ran.
As long as he offered enough temptation, he didn't believe she wouldn't be moved.
He just needed to find a way to get them to take his business card and add his wechat.
After that, he would have ways to tempt them with all sorts of conditions.
As long as the bait was right, the fish would surely bite, right?
Seeing the other party sizing her up, his gaze seemed to carry a hint of suggestion, and the slight interest Chu Ran had felt was extinguished once again.
"I know, I've heard. But right now, I just want to dance well and don't plan on acting for the time being. Thank you, please ask someone else."
"No one wants to sell their soul, but how can the sublimation of the soul be achieved without this first whip? Consider it, you've worked so hard for so many years. Think about how many times others your age have been the female lead, and you're still dancing, huh??"
"I said no, don't trouble yourself."
"Give me some face, add my wechat. There will always be a time when you can use me. Let me tell you, don't think too highly of yourself. This world isn't as beautiful as you imagine. But, if you seize the opportunity, when you soar to success, the world will become beautiful."
Seeing that the other party no longer concealed his intentions, Chu Ran's face grew even colder.
She clearly understood the meaning behind his words. These people always used various reasons and methods to lure young, beautiful girls into the entertainment industry.
Talent scouts were not uncommon at their school; it was well-known that many big directors liked to come to their school to select actors.
After all, Beijing Dance Academy produced beauties, and they had excellent dance foundations, making them appear very outstanding on camera, giving them a clear advantage.
However, for those without family backgrounds, if they achieved fame too early, the price they would pay would certainly not be small.
Moreover, Zheng Yang clearly seemed like someone with ulterior motives.
He exploited students' aspirations and desires for an acting career, attempting to lead them astray.
Chu Ran was well aware of this.
Just then, Jiang Cheng saw Chu Ran walking towards him, so he unhesitatingly went to meet her.
Today, Chu Ran was wearing an extremely simple black long down jacket, holding a gray scarf, and a black knitted hat on her head.
Although her attire was as low-key as possible, it could not hide her astonishingly beautiful face in the slightest.
However, from the expression on her face, it was clear that she seemed unhappy at the moment, even quite displeased.
