Chapter 408 - "If your eyes are just a decoration, you should donate them for someone who needs them." (1)

First there was Jiang DeXian's profession of love, accredited his glory to her, then there was Jiang WenYu handing her his trophy in person.

Who wouldn't be envious of a life like that?

They were all about her age. They may appear glamorous on the outside but, they needed to tread on thin ice, day in and day out, to take care of all their husbands' other lovers and to watch out for children born out of the wedlock competing over their inheritance.

Then, looking back at Fang JunRong, many of them made fun of her when she was foolish enough to have divorced Li WangJin for something as trivial as him having an affair and opening the spot for the third person to step in voluntarily.

Then, they watched as Fang JunRong became prettier and prettier and went farther and farther, to a height that they could only look up on.

On top of all of that, she had a little fresh meat chasing after her. That was certainly the ideal life that all of them could only dream of.

While being envious of Fang JunRong, another idea also occurred to them: Days after a divorced didn't seem as bad as they had imagined.

Fang JunRong, who only came as the icing-on-the-cake presenter had, somehow, turned into the center of attention.

The MVP at the entire venue.

The People of the Year Award was the final event, with one more consolation prize event after it, before the end of the award ceremony.

There was a banquet after the award ceremony. Most everyone, whether they had won a prize or not, would choose to stay.

After all, none of the nominees today were peons but were all who had a certain level of accomplishments in their respective fields.

This was a great opportunity to network.

The celebrities, too, chose to stay. Their path would be much smoother if they could only befriend a couple of people here.

Fang JunRong did not head straight to the banquet but to have her makeup artist redo her makeup for her.

She had on a heavier makeup earlier as she knew she would be seen by many. Now she will switch to a lighter makeup to accentuate her nice skin.

There was a knock at the door and Fang JunRong's assistant went to answer it. Standing outside the door was Jiang DeXian. With a trophy in his hand, he smiled and he looked like an elegant gentleman walking straight out of some manga. "May I come in?"

Fang JunRong's makeup was already completed by now. Smiling, she asked, "Are you here to pick me up? Wenyu will be coming over in a little bit as well."

She might have said it out openly but Jiang DeXian was already indescribably jealous.

Lucky he had come over, else Jiang WenYu would have one upped him. Jiang WenYu might not have noticed it yet but Jiang DeXian wasn't foolish enough to remind him and create a strong opponent for himself.

He smiled tenderly. "I am here to give you my trophy."

Fang JunRong, after being taken aback a little, smiled. "I am going to need a display room when I get home then." She had two himself.

Now she had four, including the ones from Jiang WenYu and Jiang DeXian.

Jiang DeXian walked into the dressing room and pushed Jiang WenYu's trophy further away while placing his where it was, leaving it closer to Fang JunRong.

Fang JunRong did not miss that. She found that somewhat cute.

A man who was such a calm strategist when it came to business would have a jealous side of him in private.

"I'll give you my People of the Year Award next year."

His tone was one of certainty. To many, this was something that they had to work very hard for but, when it came to Jiang DeXian, he made it sound like it was set in stone.

Then again, he had his reasons to be so confident. He did it in his previous life and, now that he had rebirthed with the script, there was no reason that he'd flare worse than before.

"Okay."

Fang JunRong responded with a smile. Jiang WenYu, too, came a few minutes later.

Jiang DeXian said calmly, "I'm here to pick up JunRong."

"As am I." Jiang WenYu went silent after that. He didn't know Jiang DeXian well and there wasn't a lot that the two could talk about.

Chapter 409 - "If your eyes are just a decoration, you should donate them for someone who needs them." (2)

Yu HuaiZhen, Fang JunRong's assistant, looked from Jiang WenYu to Jiang DeXian then, for some inexplicable reason, thought she smelled the scent of a battlefield.

She looked over to her boss. Her boss looked calm as usual. Yu HuaiZhen, too, calmed down as she admired her boss's nerves.

The three of them left together and Jiang DeXian and Jiang WenYu both knew to fall behind Fang JunRong by half a step.

When the three of them appeared in front of the others, this super attractive combination stunned all of the others.

Fang JunRong stood elegantly and nonchalantly in the middle like a queen allowing nobody to have any dirty thoughts about her. Jiang WenYu and Jiang DeXian, on her left and right, guarded her like her knights.

Zhong Yi, after seeing Fang JunRong, brought the group Skip over to greet her.

As such, the number of handsome men around Fang JunRong increased by another 6. As for Ren DongZhi, he took off early after the award ceremony. He didn't like these kinds of occasions and Zhong Yi never forced him to do what was against his wish.

Before the start of the banquet, the host had already asked the reports and paparazzi to leave and also banned the pictures and videos from this banquet from being leaked. Nevertheless, the scene was so enticing that some still took pictures and videos.

Fang JunRong did not like drinking and only symbolically took a sip. Jiang WenYu wouldn't even do that much.

Fang JunRong had juice brought to him. As a renowned scientist, many wanted to work with him but never had the opportunity to. Jiang WenYu was too much of a hikikomori and it was difficult to run into him.

If only they could work with him and develop some products that were as popular as the Beautify Pills, that would be like having a hen that could lay golden eggs.

Everyone wanted to be the next Fang JunRong.

As people would always flock to what was the rarest, it led to Jiang WenYu being a little bit more popular than even Fang JunRong and Jiang DeXian.

Most of those surrounding him were bosses of cosmetics companies.

They spewed all sorts of promises as though working with them meant he would no longer need to worry about money, fame, beautiful women, and status. Those were about all they had in their arena to entice Jiang WenYu.

Fang JunRong was very calm and she had Yu HuaiZhen stay around Jiang WenYu, just in case.

She, on the other hand, was there to make Zhong Yi, her adopted daughter look good. Zhong Yi was young and pretty and had a group of good-looking stars under her.

There were always those who would want to take advantage of her.

With Fang JunRong there, they might still try but they wouldn't dare to go too far.

For example, Fang JunRong just saw a boss who had perhaps a little too much to drink and insisted that Zhong Yi toast with him. He even expressed that he was an elder and asked whether Zhong Yi was being disrespectful to him by refusing to toast.

Fang JunRong hated the alcohol culture, particularly the idea of 'you are being disrespectful if you don't drink'. What the heck was that?

Zhong Yi, however, was very firm when it came to that. She expressed that she had an allergic reaction to alcohol and would use fruit juice instead.

Boss Chen dared not pressure her but turned to the stars that were with her. "Fine. If you can't drink, they can, right? Don't tell me you can't even do that."

They were but a few minor stars. He was already giving her an out.

Fang JunRong walked over and said nonchalantly to him, "Boss Chen deserves a lot of respect. I wonder which one of us deserves more, you or me?"

She picked up the wine bottle next to them and filled his glass. "Since you like it so much, have some more."

The groggy Boss Chen's head cleared up a lot when he saw Fang JunRong. She was known for the bad news in the industry. Nobody who ever went up against her ended well.

He never would have thought that Fang JunRong would stand up for a few stars. He gave an awkward smile and said, "I do quite like drinking."

He then pinched his nose and downed his entire glass.

Chapter 410 - "If your eyes are just a decoration, you should donate them for someone who needs them." (3)

Fang JunRong was just about to say something when Yu HuaiZhen came over and said to her in a low voice, "There's a company who wished to work with Profession Jiang. Professor Jiang asked me to fetch you."

Fang JunRong nodded slightly and walked over with Yu HuaiZhen.

Boss Chen let out a sigh of relief and was just about to sneak away when he realized that his glass was filled up to the brim again. He looked up and saw the face of Jiang DeXian.

Jiang DeXian gave him a bright smile and said, "You should have more since you like it so much."

Boss Chen cried tearlessly: Was it really necessary for Jiang DeXian to side with Fang JunRong like this? Was it too late for him to regret?

With Boss Chen being made an example out of, Zhong Yi's combination "Skip" suddenly sensed that the treatment that they received had gone up a few notches.

Never mind about being taken advantage of, few even say anything inappropriate to them. They finally saw the benefits of having strong backing.

After offering Boss Chen a few glasses of wine, Jiang DeXian looked over at Fang JunRong and Jiang WenYu from afar. They two were chatting and laughing, looking like they were getting along very well.

"They look like a good couple," came a female voice.

Fang JunRong turned and saw a woman that he didn't recognize.

Standing next to him was Deng Lan. Normally speaking, Deng Lan did not have status high enough to attend this banquet.

She had, however, been fawning over a rich woman lately, and was finally brought here by her as her assistant. She saw how Fang JunRong was tonight and couldn't have been more envious.

When Jiang DeXian turned to look at her, her heart pounded even faster. She put on a smile that she had practiced for a long time. It was a tender smile with a hint of naiveness and a little girlish charm. "Jiang WenYu would only have that look on him when he was with Aunty Fang."

"I am their CP fan.

"I'm sure Aunty Fang likes him too. Why else would she help him out so much? I am very envious of a relationship like that. I wish I could run into someone like that too."

Jiang DeXian sneered and his smile was a little cold. "If your eyes are just a decoration, you should donate them for someone who needs them."

Him and Fang JunRong definitely made a better couple!

His comment didn't make Deng Lan very happy. A young and pretty girl like her was used to being doted by men. Even men who were not interested in her would not have been so cold to her when she smiled at them.

She couldn't help but had an aggrieved look on her and she looked somewhat pitiful.

Jiang DeXian gave her a look and said, "Keep a distance from me. I don't like the way you smell."

He had been around for two lifetimes and had climbed his way up from the very bottom.

He had seen many in his lifetimes and the little tricks that Deng Lan was pulling, she might as well have her intention of throwing herself at him written on her face.

Jiang DeXian would never be polite to these people nor would he give them any chances to have the wrong idea.

Having said that, he took a few steps away from her and increased the distance between the two of them. His resentment and rejection toward her could not have been more obvious.

Deng Lan, who had particularly sprayed some sweet-smelling perfume today, turned pale and blue.

She had never had any contacts with Jiang DeXian before and had no idea this was the kind of person that he was.

How could he say such awful things? Whatever happened to chivalry? Parvenu rich was a parvenu rich after all!

To think that she had spent so much money for the sake of landing him. Now they were all for naught.

Standing where she was, Deng Lan felt that all of the looks on her were making fun of how overreaching she was. That made her feel shameful.

All the others who had the same thoughts as Deng Lan, after seeing her utter defeat, gave up all of a sudden.

As the saying goes, as long as the spade is good, there is no wall that cannot be brought down.

The wall by the name of Jiang DeXian, though, was obviously made from cement and steel. Not only would they not be able to make any damages, they would probably end up hurting their own hands.

They were better off to giving up on him. There are many fish in the sea.
