The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 376 A Subtle Feeling
Xu Jiuyang could understand Annie's words. Angela's personality was always to say one thing to one person and another to another, making it difficult for people to figure out her true thoughts.

Therefore, even though they had fought countless times in bed and achieved perfect harmony each time, their relationship remained the purest.

He glanced at Annie again, organizing his thoughts once more. Although Angela had never explicitly stated their specific relationship, she had never concealed it either.

However, before she could even open her mouth and say anything, Annie spoke up: "Mr. Xu, I'm driving."

Hesitation and arrogance are the greatest virtues, especially when it comes to driving.

However, after arriving at the Shangri-La Hotel, Xu Jiuyang was no longer surprised, because the three Asian girls who came out of the airport with Yini, who looked like her followers, were all Angela's people.

Sure enough, my intuition was right. They seemed to be equals, but in reality, she was trying to please her.

"Get some rest, Ini. I'll take you sightseeing tomorrow," Angela said after seeing Ini into her suite.

"Of course, of course, I love you to death, Angie." Inee laughed and hugged her, and even kissed her on the cheek without any hesitation, right next to the corner of her mouth.

Xu Jiuyang glanced at Annie subconsciously and saw her face turn cold for a couple of seconds, but she quickly regained her composure, as if that change was just someone's illusion.

Angela was completely unaware of what was going on, and even flirted with Ini: "Stay for two days first. If you don't like it, just tell me and I'll find you another place. How about Hilton? It only entered the mainland market ten years ago."

"Oh, don't mention that name, Angie. I don't want to have anything to do with them at all." Inee rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it.

"Why don't you tell your dad to let your family's hotel brand come in?" Angela said with a smile.

"Forget it, my dad's an idiot. I've given him so much advice, but he doesn't use any of it. Then he comes to complain that I didn't tell him sooner." Inee rolled her eyes even more.

Xu Jiuyang's brow twitched again upon hearing this. In his memory, her relationship with her father was fairly good, but her current behavior... could it be...?

After chatting for a few more minutes, Angela turned to the smallest of the three Asian faces and said, "Xiang, you must do your job well here too."

"Yes, Master." The other person immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle. Although he answered in English, the standard of his bowing made him clearly Japanese.

After leaving the Shangri-La Hotel and returning to the office of Sunrise Capital, Angela immediately called the other two Asians who had come with her into the office.

"I have some work to discuss with them, honey, please wait a moment," she said to him with a smile.

He kept calling her "darling," making someone tremble with fear, and they had to wave him away, saying, "Okay, okay."

After they went inside, Xu Jiuyang wanted to go to the lounge to find some magazines to read to kill time, but he felt uneasy. Just a few minutes later, he saw Zhang Junning bring a blonde, blue-eyed woman into Angela's office. So when she came out, he immediately called her over and asked her to come to the lounge.

"Boss, we're not going to do it here, are we?" Zhang Junning blinked, looking nervous.

Xu Jiuyang immediately rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Of course not..." Zhang Junning quickly lowered her head, seemingly even more nervous, but judging from the slight upturn of her lips, it was probably intentional.

"Alright, let me ask you something. You went to Angie's office earlier, right? Those two who came today, one with the English name Alina and the other with the English name Terri, what are their identities?" Xu Jiuyang changed the subject.

“Oh, that one,” Zhang Junning recalled, “Teresa’s Chinese name is Chen Pinying. She’s from Taiwan, just like me and Jon. But she was with the big boss earlier, I think she was with Petty, or Peicen. Alina’s Chinese name is Zhang Meng. She’s from Tianjin, mainland China. She was noticed by the big boss while studying in Australia.”

Xu Jiuyang didn't recognize Chen Pinying, but upon hearing the name Zhang Meng and knowing she was from Jinshi, he immediately knew who she was—the boss's wife of Yaoke, known for sending messages to her employees at three or four in the morning when she was in a bad mood, demanding instant replies. Having long since become desensitized, he was only slightly surprised. Yini was practically her best friend; it was perfectly normal for her to have Zhang Meng as her secretary. And even if Zhang Meng had connections, they were all within China.

"Are they in charge of Angie's affairs in the US?" he asked casually.

“Yes, they are also members of the secretariat,” Zhang Junning nodded. “As far as I know, their main task recently has been to help the big boss’s friend with his internship.”

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but sigh inwardly after hearing those words.

"What are their characteristics?" Xu Jiuyang then asked.

“Chen Pinying is the chairman of Taiwan’s Jih Sun Financial Holdings…” Zhang Junning immediately introduced.

It has to be said that she is quite capable to be Angela's secretary. In just a few words, she explained the situation of Chen Pinying and Zhang Meng.

He didn't go into detail about Zhang Meng's family background, but it was similar to what he remembered. They weren't extremely wealthy, but they were still quite well-off. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her learn piano from a young age, sent her abroad to study, and had extensive connections in Tianjin.

Chen Pin-ying's family background goes even further. Just by hearing the name Jih Sun Financial Holdings, you know who the capital behind it is. In fact, she was born in Japan and went to university in the United States, majoring in dance. Given the situation in Taiwan, as the second child in her family, she was probably raised to be a socialite.

So, this girl from such a family was trained by her to be a secretary, and then sent to the side of Yini, who had an even higher background, to help her gain experience as an assistant... It feels very strange. What is she calculating?

"Is there anything else?" Xu Jiuyang asked casually without giving it much thought.

“Yes, the secretariat has added two new foreign secretaries: Douchen Kolos from the Netherlands and Keeley Hazel from the United Kingdom,” Zhang Junning continued to recall.

"I see... I understand." Xu Jiuyang shook his head, deciding to stop there.

But looking at Zhang Junning again, she was still standing there, her neck slightly stretched out, her face full of anticipation.

He couldn't help but laugh, then his expression turned worried: "Oh dear, you're so casually revealing information about Angie to me. What if she finds out and punishes you?"

Zhang Junning froze for two seconds, then opened her mouth in sudden realization, followed by fear. She grabbed someone's arm and pleaded, "Boss, you won't tell anyone, right?"

Not only did her eyes gleam with a faint light, but her eagerness and fear were also palpable. No wonder she was an actress in her past life.

"No... I can tell anyone, but what's the price?" Xu Jiuyang played along.

"I...I..." Tears finally welled up in her eyes, but her face wouldn't turn red, so she lowered her head in the end. "I can do anything for the boss..."

Overall, it was pretty good. I know how to make up for things that can't be acted out. It would have been even better if the arm around my arm hadn't tightened.

“Cut,” Xu Jiuyang snapped his fingers in front of Zhang Junning. “Good, very good.”

"Really, boss?" Zhang Junning quickly looked up, looking happy.

“Of course it’s true,” Xu Jiuyang smiled. “Alright, go do your own thing.”
