Chapter 83 - Can't Afford To Lose ("Are you going
to be home tonight?") (2)

Recalling how he was like a different person
whenever the little fox was involved, the smile on her
turned awkward all of a sudden. Jiang Taehyung, on
the other hand, was extremely friendly. He took over her purse like they were the best of pals and said, "Let's go. Let me introduce you to Director Jiang."

Xu Lisa looked in the direction that he was
pointing and saw Jiang ChenXi surrounded by a
bunch of film emperors and film empresses. She
smiled, looked up to Jiang Taehyung and said to him,
"No, that's alright. I won't blackmail you emotionally
with my fox nor do you need to waste your favor
in helping me out here. It's an audition, may the best
person win."

Hearing her words, Jiang Taehyung looked a bit hurt.

"Look, I am not some sort of a beast. You don't need to avoid me like that."

Xu Lisa gave him an ill-intended smile and said,
"You are right about that. A beast will not try to
blackmail me morally. I'm just worry that you'd
introduce me to Director Jiang today. I got the role in 'Plainness' tomorrow. Then you will come and say to me 'Lisa, look, I've already helped you twice. Why
don't you lend me your fox for two days?"

Speechless, Jiang Taehyung waved his hand and said, "Fine. Fine. You are good with words. I don't have a retort for that."

As soon as he finished saying that, he sudden became motionless as he looked ahead of him.

Xu Lisa turned and looked. She saw a very
extraordinary and noble-looking man standing there.

Jiang Taehyung straightened out his collar and, as
though he was talking to himself, said, "Feng Namjoon, what brought you here today?"

Feng Namjoon.... that name sounded very familiar to Xu Lisa. She thought about it long and hard and finally recalled that the night that Mu Jungkook was drunk and Bai Jimin called her to pick him up, he was the one who was drinking with Mu Jungkook.

He was Qin Suho's angel investor and one of the
major shareholders.

Bai Jimin didn't say it out loud, but Xu Lisa gathered that he was a very important person.

Feng Namjoon was whispering into another man's ear in the meantime. As good as Xu Lisa's hearing was, owing to the fact that they were fairly far away and that the location was noisy, she could only see his mouth moving but not make out what he was saying.

She pretended to be baffled, "Who's Feng Namjoon?
Which one is he? Can you point him out to me?"

Jiang Taehyung dragged her with him as he walked
toward that direction, not realizing that she was talking to him. "Feng Namjoon is the successor of the Feng's. He's that most eye-catching one standing next to the table over there. Look, everybody standing over there are wealthy. But that suit of his just made him stand out. How could you not see him?"

When they got closer, Xu Lisa could finally
somewhat made out what Feng Chun was saying.

"Of course Mu Jungkook had approached me. I had
him drank so much that he was drunk in front of a
table-full of people," said Feng Namjoon as he toyed with his fancy cufflinks. "He had already lost his Project Falcon, I've heard that he had run into some issues with his patent application as well. The Qin's stocks aren't very expensive right now and it didn't cost me much to get into the field. After the Qin's news announcement next month, I will inject another round of capital into the Qin's. Mu Sehun had recovered a few days ago and he'd be able to work with Qin Suho from the inside. We will purposefully bring the stock price down and Mu Jungkook won't even know what had hit him"

Feng Namjoon's words were offensive and the man
he was talking to chuckled as well. Xu Lisa was
displeased from what she heard and wanted to turn
around and leave.

Low and behold, Feng Namjoon carried on. "Such a pity that he really thought I have agreed to invest in him. Such a naive person, wouldn't you say?"
