They became friends; in Jiang Heng's view, it's really quite strange.

Okay!

They said they'd go and just went; as they put on their jackets and were about to leave, Tang Yan and Yang Mi arrived.

Jiang Heng held back his words, saying, "Did you plan this ahead of time, or did you plant spies in my company? What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan and Yang Mi were startled, hurriedly saying, "No, no, we wouldn't dare do such a thing."

Jiang Heng was just making a casual remark, with no intention of pursuing it further.

Since we've run into each other, let's go together.

Arranged for people to drive two cars, sending everyone to Dong Lai Shun hot pot.

After reserving a private room and sitting down, everyone took off their down jackets.

Yang Mi's pupils constricted instantly, she turned to one side, then turned back.

Then she said, "Sweetie, that shirt of yours looks really fresh; where did you buy it?"

Jing Tian blinked, then laughed, saying, "I didn't buy it; this is Director Jiang's. I accidentally spilled coffee on my earlier clothes, so I borrowed a shirt from Director Jiang."

Yang Mi didn't believe Jing Tian's words, thinking to herself, "How could it be such a coincidence? Unbelievable!"

Liu Yifei suddenly spoke up, explaining what happened, and Yang Mi was only half-believing.

Because in the entertainment industry, there are too many beautiful women who try to win over big directors for resources.

Da Tian Tian, however, has some resources and background, so she doesn't need to do that.

The problem is that Jiang Heng not only has film and television resources, but is also young and handsome, and has a lot, a lot, a lot of money!
