“Yes, you should know my girlfriend, right Miss Hong?” Zhou Jingyun asked.
“Your girlfriend?” Hong Tongfei shook her head. “I don’t know your girlfriend.”
“You don’t know her? Didn’t my girlfriend ask you to come?” Zhou Jingyun’s expression suddenly changed.
“… Maybe it can be counted as that? It was Brother Long who asked me to come.” Hong Tongfei hesitated and then continued, “Brother Long said that your girlfriend is his close sister. His close sister has something to do and he has to help, so he asked me to come.”
“Brother Long? Jiao Qinglong?” Zhou Jingyun immediately realized who the ‘Brother Long’ that Hong Tongfei was talking about was. Hong Tongfei was Jiao Qinglong’s mistress. Everyone in the industry knew that. For the powerful people, these things were not secrets at all. There were not many celebrities who were absolutely clean in the industry. Moreover, Jiao Qinglong did not hide the fact that he was a sugar daddy. Therefore, there were quite a number of people who knew about his relationship with Hong Tongfei.
“Yes, it’s him,” Hong Tongfei nodded.
Zhou Jingyun frowned slightly. Jiang Tong actually knew Jiao Qinglong and even called her his ‘close sister’? When did this happen? Zhou Jingyun had never interacted with Jiao Qinglong, but he knew that Jiao Qinglong was the second young master of Hongyuan Industries. Because he was defeated in his family’s internal conflict, he idled around, ate, drank, and had fun every day. He did not care about anything. From what Zhou Jingyun knew, Jiao Qinglong was a very, very low-key person. He rarely interacted with others, and it could even be said that he wasn’t very easy to get in touch with. Whoever took the initiative to contact him would be rejected by him, and he would play on his own.
“Mr. Zhou, your girlfriend’s surname is Jiang, right?” Hong Tongfei saw that Zhou Jingyun’s expression wasn’t right, so she took the initiative to ask. She was afraid that she had the wrong person. She did not know Jiang Tong’s name, but she knew her surname because Jiao Qinglong had mentioned Jiang Tong as ‘Sister Jiang’.
“Yes!” Zhou Jingyun nodded.
“Then there’s no mistake,” Hong Tongfei smiled. “I feel that you don’t quite know how your girlfriend found me. I guess it’s probably because Miss Jiang wants to give you a surprise.”
“Hahaha, it’s probably because Jiang Tong is thoughtful,” Zhou Jingyun also laughed. Although he said that, Zhou Jingyun didn’t feel surprised. There were indeed surprises, but he got scared more often than surprised. He really wanted to see Jiang Tong now and ask what was going on.
In the next hour, Zhou Jingyun didn’t ask Hong Tongfei about anything else. It was more important to get down to business. He introduced the situation of the company to Hong Tongfei and the new product launch. He also asked Hong Tongfei about her schedule. If the follow-up promotional time conflicted with Hong Tongfei’s schedule, their company could adjust, but what Zhou Jingyun didn’t expect was that Hong Tongfei would agree to anything. She also said that the company didn’t need to adjust the schedule, and she would fully cooperate. When Zhou Jingyun mentioned the endorsement fee, Hong Tongfei just asked Zhou Jingyun to quote a price. She said that they were all friends, and a ‘friendship’ price would be enough. She couldn’t ask for too much, if she asked for too much, Brother Long would be unhappy and so on.
Zhou Jingyun was shocked! What was the relationship between Jiang Tong and Jiao Qinglong? Were they biological siblings? Even biological siblings wouldn’t be so helpful! The signing process with Hong Tongfei couldn’t have gone any smoother. In less than two hours of conversation, Jingyun Fashion officially signed the endorsement contract with Hong Tongfei. Zhou Jingyun wanted to give Hong Tongfei a full endorsement fee, but Hong Tongfei refused. She said she didn’t want the endorsement fee. In the end, he only signed the contract with Hong Tongfei at the price of an ordinary A-list actress. This price obviously didn’t match Hong Tongfei’s social status, and all of this was for Jiang Tong’s sake.
Because she still had to catch a flight back overseas to film, Hong Tongfei was going to leave after signing the contract. Zhou Jingyun personally sent Hong Tongfei downstairs. She was scheduled to attend the new product launch two weeks later. Before the launch, she would film the promotional film and a few other things. She would come to Jingyun Fashion’s platform on the day of the launch.
After sending Hong Tongfei off, Zhou Jingyun hurried back to the office. As soon as he sat down, he picked up his phone and dialed Jiang Tong’s number. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Jiang Tong answered the phone. “Where are you? Come to the company quickly,” Zhou Jingyun said directly.
“I’m busy. I don’t have time. We’ll talk about it at noon,” Jiang Tong replied and said in a strange voice.
“Eh? Where are you?” Zhou Jingyun asked again.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyun vaguely heard a man’s voice in the background, “Ms. Jiang, are you comfortable like this?”
Zhou Jingyun suddenly sat up and asked, “Jiang Tong, where are you?”
