Chapter 95: He Did Not Take a Fancy to Jiang Ciyou

The capital television network is the benchmark for all broadcasters in the country.

In fact, it is also a publicly listed company, controlled by Capital Media Group behind the scenes.

Capital Media Group seems to be one of the Bo family’s enterprises.

Of course, Jiang Ciyou did not understand much about the business world.

Jiang Ciyou said, “Director Tang, I’ve already taken part in many interstation exchanges and training visits. Please give this chance to someone else.”

Indeed, over the past year alone,

she had visited and trained at no fewer than thirty television stations at the prefecture level and above.

It was actually rather dull: first meetings, then socializing with the capital magnates behind the stations.

At times, Jiang Ciyou even felt that these exchanges were little more than drinking companionship.

Occasionally, she would even be harassed by some of those investors.

She truly disliked this sort of social obligation.

Tang Fei’s expression stiffened.

“This time is different from before. Just go.”

In truth, Capital Television had specifically requested that Jiang Ciyou be included this time.

He had originally meant to do her a favor, but had not expected her to refuse outright.

Jiang Ciyou still declined.

Tang Fei could only tell the truth. “My lady, I’ll be honest with you: someone important over at Capital Television has specifically asked to see you. If you don’t go, I’ll be in a difficult position. Just go, and afterward I’ll give you five extra days of annual leave.”

Jiang Ciyou was silent for half a second. “Ten days.”

“Fine, my lady.”

He had meant to win her favor, only to end up being blackmailed by her instead.

Tang Fei was frustrated.

But when Jiang Ciyou pressed him on exactly who wanted to see her, Tang Fei admitted, “I really don’t know either. The higher-ups didn’t say. They only said someone from Capital Media Group wanted to meet you, and apparently it’s someone with a very high position. As for who exactly it is, I can’t say.”

Jiang Ciyou frowned.

She had no connection whatsoever with Capital Media Group, nor did she know any of its senior executives.

Why would someone specifically want to meet her?

Her instincts told her it had something to do with the Bo family.

Was it because of Bo Jinxiu?

Whatever the reason, if she had to face it, she would face it.

Jiang Ciyou was not particularly worried.

However, she did not tell Bo Jinxiu about her trip to the capital.

After she left the BJ Tower, Bo Jinxiu had already rushed back to the capital without pause.

This exchange and training visit would last three days.

The third day would basically be her own time.

By then, perhaps she could even arrange to see him.

The next day.

Jiang Ciyou and Tang Fei took the nine o’clock flight and set off.

Two hours later, Jiang Ciyou was already standing at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Hotel.

After dropping off their luggage, she and Tang Fei ate the hotel buffet.

Then they went to Capital Television.

The person who received them both was unexpectedly the station director of Capital Television.

Tang Fei was flattered beyond measure.

One had to know that the director of Capital Television had never thought much of the directors of other stations.

The director of Rongtai Television often called him an arrogant old fossil with his nose in the air.

Jiang Ciyou felt that the director of Capital Television was far too enthusiastic.

He even personally showed them around.

When he looked at Jiang Ciyou, his smile was broad and effusive.

After about an hour of touring, they also attended a production meeting at the station.

Capital Television had recently produced several live-stream variety shows that had become massive hits.

They had mainly come this time to learn exactly that.

The meeting continued until four in the afternoon.

After it ended, the director walked up to Jiang Ciyou.

“Miss Jiang, please wait here for a moment. Our chairwoman is on her way. She would like to meet you.”

Jiang Ciyou was surprised. “The chairwoman?”

Tang Fei cut in from the side. “The chairwoman of Capital Media Group? Hasn’t she been abroad all this time?”

“She only returned to the country recently. Although the chairwoman has been overseas, she has long known about Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Ciyou was a little bewildered. “Who is your chairwoman?”

Tang Fei said, “How can you not know this? The capital backing Capital Television is Capital Media, and the chairwoman of Capital Media is the legendary Bo Wanhua of this industry.”

Bo Wanhua—Jiang Ciyou knew that name.

Bo Jinxiu’s eldest sister.

The family member with whom Bo Jinxiu had the worst relationship.

Jiang Ciyou’s heart instantly tightened.

Why did Bo Wanhua want to see her?

Jiang Ciyou felt she should let Bo Jinxiu know about this.

So after the director left,

she immediately dialed Bo Jinxiu’s number.

But the phone rang for a long while without being answered.

Not long after,

the meeting room door was pushed open again.

Jiang Ciyou turned around and saw a middle-aged woman standing in the doorway.

The woman wore a white tailored suit, her shoulder-length hair softly curled, her makeup exquisite.

She had been very well maintained, with no trace of someone in her forties.

If one said she was only in her early thirties, many would believe it.

Her skin, like Bo Jinxiu’s, was pale and cool-toned, and because of that she carried an aura of sharp, cold dignity.

A custom Hermès handbag hung from her wrist, and on her feet were bespoke heels from a luxury brand.

There was no other jewelry adorning her neck or wrists.

Yet she still gave the impression of being both capable and imposing, refined and noble.

Jiang Ciyou put away her phone and stepped forward to greet her first. “Chairwoman Bo, I have long admired your reputation.”

She extended her hand to shake Bo Wanhua’s.

Bo Wanhua’s gaze was keen, and she had already appraised Jiang Ciyou.

A faint smile touched her lips as she took Jiang Ciyou’s hand in a cordial shake. “I’m sure you know I am Bo Jinxiu’s eldest sister. Since you are his publicly acknowledged girlfriend, then like him, you may call me Elder Sister.”

Jiang Ciyou remained respectfully composed.

But when she spoke, she was neither servile nor overfamiliar. “You are my senior and my elder. I would not dare be presumptuous, Chairwoman. I will still address you as Chairwoman.”

Bo Wanhua did not seem to mind. “As you wish.”

She entered the meeting room, casually tossed her bag onto a chair, and exchanged idle pleasantries with Jiang Ciyou.

“Is this your first time in the capital?”

Jiang Ciyou answered truthfully, “I came once when I was little. This is my first time since growing up.”

“Do you like the scenery here?”

“The capital is prosperous and splendid, so naturally I like it very much.”

Bo Wanhua smiled. “The capital is indeed a place of grandeur, but such splendor and wealth can easily blind one.”

Her meaning was already very clear.

She meant Jiang Ciyou was not worthy of Bo Jinxiu.

Or rather, that Jiang Ciyou was with Bo Jinxiu for the sake of this heavenly wealth and privilege.

Jiang Ciyou also smiled. “In this boundless mortal world, where is there not prosperity? Chairwoman, rest assured, I will keep your teachings in mind and strive to cultivate my heart.”

Seeing her poised and unyielding manner, a trace of admiration flickered in Bo Wanhua’s eyes.

Bo Wanhua laughed. “You are rather like I was when I was young. I like you very much.”

Jiang Ciyou remained courteous and distant. “Thank you for your favor, Chairwoman.”

Tang Fei, watching from the side, was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was obvious the chairwoman was trying to give Jiang Ciyou a show of power.

It seemed the road into a billionaire’s family was not so easy after all.

And yet, Jiang Ciyou had not been crushed.

On the contrary, she remained respectful and graceful, never losing her composure, using a few light words to deflect a thousand pounds of pressure, and she had not been pushed down at all.

Truly worthy of coming from Rongtai.

Bo Wanhua said, “It’s getting late. I’ve already arranged an evening banquet at the Thousand Splendors Imperial Hall here in the capital. Xiao Tang, come with us and have a taste.”
