Fang JunRong almost laughed out loud and rated Jiang DeXian highly in her mind immediately. Excellent. Just for that fact that he had irritated Li WangJin so much, she decided to pay him an extra bonus!
She gave Jiang DeXian a very satisfied look.
Li WangJin balled his hands into fists and wanted to run up there and give him a good beating. At that very moment in time, Jiang DeXian had surpassed many to take the spot of his top spot of his number one enemy.
Zhang Bi walked up, put his hand over Li WangJin’s shoulder and stopped him.
He said in a low voice. “If you make a scene here, I am going to toss you out.”
The invitation there didn’t come easily. He didn’t want to offend Zhang ZhiSu, the host, because Li WangJin made a scene.
Li WangJin calmed down immediately. “I won’t.”
He’d lose all his face if he was to be thrown out from there. He turned around and walked away quickly without giving Fang JunRong another look.
Zhang Bi nodded slightly at Fang JunRong and gave her an apologetic look.
Fang JunRong couldn’t be bothered by him and carried on eating her cookies.
After a couple more, she looked up at Jiang DeXian and said to him. “That was a pretty good job on our part.” He chimed in at just the perfect moment and worked very well with her.
“I had wanted to be an actor once and had always rehearsed different scenes in my head,” said Jiang DeXian as though he was explaining to her why he was able to excel there.
Fang JunRong chuckled and said, “Very well then.”
If Jiang DeXian was still interested in acting, she could very well contact a couple friends of hers in the entertainment circle and have him audition for some suitable roles. Even if he couldn’t act, he’d be able to play himself with that look of his.

On the other side, Li WangJin, who walked away from Fang JunRong, suppressed his anger and put on a friendly smile. Walking next to Zhang Bi, he planned to take this opportunity to meet others and build his network.
It’d be even better if he could find someone who’d be willing to work with him. He suspected that the Beautify Pills’s formula was incomplete and they were missing one key ingredient. If he was able to find another partner and, given enough time, he’d be able to figure that missing ingredient.
What upset him even more was that the few individuals that he wanted to network with all snubbed him and a few of them even took a page from Fang JunRong’s book and purposefully referred to him as President Li.
After only half an hour, he understood what a cold world it was that he lived in and was disheartened by how quickly these people would flip to the other side.
One couldn’t really fault these individuals too much. Any one with half a brain could see that Li WangJin was done for. He was at least the President of Ayron in the past and many would at least show him some respect because of that. Now he was just a shareholder, and one that the others wanted to shunt at that. He certainly wasn’t someone that one would want to be associated with.
Zhang Bi wasn’t too happy about that either. He felt that he, too was getting no respect from the others. Li WangJin was, after all, a guest of his.
If he was the housemaster of the Zhang’s, he’d definitely made his point on this. But he wasn’t even a heir right now. Not to mention the big setback that he had just suffered over the Cherry Blossom Pills. His status was not steady right now and he really couldn’t afford to offend any of these individuals. He had no choice but to swallow his pride. Even the invitation to this event he had to get it through Zhang ZhiYang, a cousin of Zhang ZhiSu.
He still has his pride and couldn’t stand the cold looks from the others so he walked over and sat in a corner.
This was supposed to be a lively banquet but Zhang Bi and Li WangJin were like the loser alliance who were unable to blend in.
