Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Still Know Miss Rong? Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Still Know Miss Rong? Rong Yan’s refusal was tactful, yet it conveyed that she was not averse to staying over, giving Han Cheng enough face. Han Cheng wasn’t a fool, and could see that Li Shengxiao and Rong Yan didn’t want to stay overnight outside. He chuckled and said naturally, “Then I won’t hold Mr. Li and Miss Rong any longer. I’m only in Capital City for three days this time, and have to leave soon. Next time I come back, I will definitely invite you both for a good meal. I hope Mr. Li and Miss Rong would do me the honor and give me this face.”

“It would be my pleasure,” Rong Yan said, her eyes curved into crescents, her demeanor gracious and composed.

Li Shengxiao chatted with Han Cheng about business cooperation for a little while longer before taking her and leaving.

Only after the two had walked far away did Han Cheng frown and gaze at their departing figures, pondering, “Rong Yan, where have I heard that name before?”

It seemed Capital City had no Rong families of a status to match Li Shengxiao, the only slightly known Rong Family was just a real estate nouveau riche, having become wealthy only over two generations, not even considered a powerful clan. Let alone the type of top-notch, prominent family that would match Li Shengxiao’s status.

As he pondered, Xia Xue beside him couldn’t hold back and interjected, “I mentioned her to Mr. Han before.”

“You told me about her?” Han Cheng narrowed his eyes, shifting his attention to her, “When did you tell me? Baby, do you know Miss Rong too?”

His surprise in that last question was such that it seemed as if she and Rong Yan were from two different worlds, as if she were simply not worthy of knowing Rong Yan! The jab caused Xia Xue’s heart to ache, her fingers curling tightly, digging into her flesh as she barely squeezed out a pure smile, “Rong Yan and I work for the same company. I can’t really say I know her, just that I participated in a talent show with her once. Rong Yan’s popularity and fame are much higher than mine; she made it to the finals. I was eliminated during the top ten to top eight round. So normally, I don’t have much contact with her, but would greet her if we happened to run into each other. A while back, an entertainment company under Mr. Han was considering investing in a TV series, and they tentatively invited Rong Yan for the lead actress role. It just so happened that Rong Yan’s family was going through some messy issues, and I mentioned it to you then.”

Her mentioning Rong Yan’s family mess was to sway Han Cheng into promoting her to the lead role.

To a man like Han Cheng, promoting her to the lead role was as simple as moving his lips, much more useful than the high-level official she had clung to before.

But Han Cheng was more temperamental and harder to appease than the high-level official she had been with before. When he was in a good mood, acting spoiled could earn her some benefits, but if he was not in a good mood, any confrontation with him would surely result in a metaphorical bruising. The problem with him was his mood swings, switching from happy to unhappy at a whim, causing her endless misery.

When she had previously brought up Rong Yan in front of him as if by accident, Han Cheng flew into a rage, cursing at her and accusing her of being there to amuse him, not to bother him with trifles from the entertainment industry. Frightened, she quickly blamed it on the higher-ups, claiming they had asked her to inquire. Then she spent a long time flattering and sweet-talking him before he would pay attention to her again. Otherwise, the person accompanying Han Cheng on the golf course today would certainly no longer be her.

Han Cheng wasn’t Li Shengxiao, who had only Rong Yan by his side.

There were at least a dozen women around Han Cheng, and she was just one of them. It was only because she was ‘understanding’ that Han Cheng gave her a bit of stature.
