Under the introduction of Li Feng, Jin Zi Meng met Zong Caishan. However, he was nothing like the image she had imagined. She thought Zong Caishan would be knowledgeable and charismatic, much like the members of the Zong family, such as Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin, who had already become the face of the family and left a strong impression on her.
But now, this middle-aged man with a greasy appearance and a bulging belly seemed to have nothing in common with the Zong family. Jin Zi Meng couldn't help but feel uncomfortable; she simply could not stand such an unattractive man. It wasn't that she was prejudiced against his looks, but rather the overwhelming sense of grease emanating from him made her instinctively want to distance herself.
Behind her, Li Feng pinched her waist hard, signaling her to toast Zong Caishan. What was she thinking?
Jin Zi Meng felt very displeased with Li Feng's overstepping behavior, but she held it in and forced herself to raise her glass. Zong Caishan's gaze roamed over her body, from her legs to her waist, then to her chest and face. Suddenly, he burst into a loud laugh, clearly satisfied.
Zong Caishan had heard of Jin Zi Meng before; although she was a minor character, she was an important figure that Hua Rongxiao had specifically mentioned. He grabbed Jin Zi Meng's wrist and pulled her to sit beside him. She felt utterly uncomfortable; at that moment, every hair on her body stood on end, and she even broke out in a cold sweat!
Just then, her phone rang—it was Jiang Zhichao.
Jin Zi Meng quickly took out her phone and apologized, "Sorry, I need to take this call."
Li Feng seemed impatient, feeling that Jin Zi Meng was being rude. "Hurry up then! Don't kill the mood."
Seizing the opportunity, Jin Zi Meng slipped out of the private room and hurried towards the hotel lobby while holding her phone.
The lobby was bustling with people, and she breathed a sigh of relief as the air felt much fresher. She quickly answered the call; Jiang Zhichao's voice came through with concern. "Why did it take you so long to answer? Sister Tong said she called you but got no response. Are you okay? Did you drink too much? Send me your hotel location; I'll come pick you up once I'm done. Sister Tong is worried about you being alone."
"I'm fine," Jin Zi Meng panted. "I'll call Sister Tong later. Don't worry about me; I don't even know when this drinking session will end. But I plan to leave early."
Jiang Zhichao chuckled, "Who was so adamant about wanting to meet big shots before we left? Why are you planning to bail now?"
Jin Zi Meng found it hard to explain but figured Jiang Zhichao wasn't a stranger, so she voiced her concerns. "I feel like the big boss here isn't very serious. I originally auditioned for a supporting role but they suddenly want me for the lead and introduced me to the big boss. And just now, that investor turned out to have the surname Zong too—it's all just strange."
Jiang Zhichao speculated, "Could it be that Sister Tong helped you network? A member of the Zong family must be connected to Dazong Zong or Xiao Zong Zong."
Jin Zi Meng hesitated.
"Remember to call Sister Tong later so she won't worry," Jiang Zhichao advised.
