Chapter 200 She is N! A resounding slap in the face!
Claw machine?
Secretary Wang on the other end of the phone was slightly taken aback.
He gave Shen Jingnian many things.
Confidential documents, computers, etc.
But this is my first time using a claw machine!
Get up violently.
It must have started too fast.
Otherwise, how could such auditory hallucinations occur?
Secretary Wang spoke again, somewhat uncertainly, "Ninth Master, is it the claw machine at the arcade?"
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian’s voice was somewhat cold.
He felt particularly upset whenever he thought about not winning a single plush toy at the arcade!
Shen Jingnian is an extremely competitive person; whatever he does, he wants to do it to the best of his ability.
Moreover, this was in front of Jiang Ning.
Secretary Wang licked her slightly dry lips. "Okay, I'll go right away."
Secretary Wang was completely bewildered until she hung up the phone!
He thought he had acted too aggressively.
I didn't expect it to be true.
I wonder what Ninth Master wants the claw machine for?
Does the Shen Group intend to enter the arcade industry?
Do not understand.

Because she was about to attend an arts and culture gala, Jiang Ning went to the mall the next day to choose a dress.
After choosing her dress, she ran into Tang An and her university classmates on her way back.
"Shengbao, what a coincidence!" Tang An looked at Jiang Ning and greeted her, "You're here to pick out a dress too?"
"Hmm." Jiang Ning's reply was brief and to the point, clearly indicating that she didn't want to say much more to Tang An.
"Whose banquet are you going to?" Tang An then asked.
Aside from banquets hosted by artists and cultural figures, she hadn't heard of any banquets being held in Beijing recently!
"No comment."
After uttering those four words, Jiang Ning turned and left.
Tang An grabbed Jiang Ning's sleeve, "Sheng Bao, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning frowned slightly. "Tang An, it's best if we keep to ourselves. I don't have time to put on this sisterly show with you."
Her voice was somewhat cold and imposing, which startled Tang An.
After a moment, Tang An reacted, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smug look in them, "I'm going to the arts and culture gala with Brother Mu Bai soon. Although Brother Mu Bai doesn't want to take you, he listens to me the most."
"If you can beg me, I can ask Brother Mubai to take you along too."
"Oh right, you didn't know, did you? N is at this banquet. Brother Mu Bai said that with his status, it wouldn't be a problem for him to recommend me as N's last disciple."
These are Shi Mubai's original words.
After all, Shi Mubai is a big shot in the comic book industry.
Although Shi Mubai's status is not as high as N's, even if he cannot get N to accept Tang An as his last disciple, it would not be a problem to introduce Tang An to N.
Tang An just stared at Jiang Ning, carefully observing the expression on her face.
It's obvious that Jiang Ning must be very envious of herself right now.
after all.
Who among ordinary people is qualified to meet N?
You should know that you can't attend arts and culture gala dinners just by having money; you have to be someone with a certain status in the arts and culture world, like Shi Mubai!
A country girl like Jiang Ning, who has no real qualifications, probably won't ever see N in her lifetime!
Let alone this lifetime.
She probably won't be eligible in her next life, or the life after that.
Tang An crossed his arms and continued, "I came here today to look at dresses. Brother Mu Bai can bring two family members with him. If you show some sincerity and beg me properly, maybe I can really take you!"
Jiang Ning must be feeling very complicated right now, right?
Tang An raised an eyebrow slightly.
Who doesn't admire a highly popular figure like N?
Who wouldn't want to attend an arts and culture gala to gild their status?
But Jiang Ning couldn't bring herself to ask him for help.
But Tang An felt that Jiang Ning would eventually ask him for help.
What wouldn't someone like Jiang Ning do to gain a foothold in the elite circles?
Just as Tang An was waiting for Jiang Ning to beg her, Jiang Ning reached out and pushed Tang An away, saying, "I have nothing to say to you. A good dog doesn't block the way."
After saying that, Jiang Ning turned and left.
Tang An watched Jiang Ning's retreating figure and spat angrily, "What are you pretending for, you little country bumpkin! Shameless!"
She was clearly dying of jealousy, but she pretended to be aloof and superior!
Pretentious high-mindedness!
a shame!
"Forget it, An'an, why are you arguing with her?" One of the classmates walked up to Tang An. "Did you really say that N would take you as his last disciple?"
“Of course it’s true,” Tang An continued. “My cousin is a famous cartoonist!”
"Wow, I'm so envious of you, An'an!" the classmate continued. "When you go to the banquet, can you bring me N's autographed item?"
"Of course!" Tang An nodded readily.
"Thank you, An'an."

The day of the banquet arrived quickly.
Tang An, dressed in an elegant formal suit, attended the banquet with Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai is very popular in the industry. As soon as he arrived, someone greeted him, "Teacher Shi, right? My daughter really likes your comics. Could you give me an autograph later so I can take it back for my daughter?"
“Sure.” Shi Mubai nodded, then added, “By the way, Teacher Dong, this is my cousin, Tang An.”
Tang An immediately recognized him as Dong Shanqing, a well-known figure in the literary world.
Dong Shanqing's works have been selected for inclusion in elementary school textbooks.
He is also one of the few authors who still live on in textbooks.
Tang An immediately greeted Dong Shanqing respectfully.
If you can get along well with Dong Shanqing, you'll have more connections in the future.
Dong Shanqing looked at Shi Mubai and continued, "I heard that N, a big shot in the Go world, will also be attending the banquet tonight. I wonder if I will be able to meet him tonight."
"I think so. My editor specifically told me that N will be going on stage to receive the award tonight."
Dong Shanqing nodded. "I hope so!"
Besides being a writer, Dong Shanqing is also a Go enthusiast. He has watched almost every match of N's games, so he is also a Go fan of N.
He's liked N for a long time!
After Dong Shanqing left.
Tang An looked at Shi Mubai, "Brother Mubai, when will N arrive?"
She couldn't wait any longer.
Shi Mubai glanced at his watch. "Let's go ask the president of the arts and culture association."
He has a fairly good relationship with Lin Shen, the president of the literary and art circles.
Shi Mubai led Tang An to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen was very busy at the moment. When he heard Shi Mubai's words, he said while looking at the guest list, "Mubai, wait a moment. Boss N should be here soon. I will definitely introduce her to you when she arrives."
Shi Mubai smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, President Lin."
"You're welcome. Let me tell you a secret: Boss N is very young, in a way you can't imagine."
Upon hearing this, Tang An narrowed his eyes.
It seems that N is a young and talented big shot!
Furthermore, N should be a male.
Because there are very, very few female Go players.
Since he's a man, that makes things easier, because no man can resist her charm.
We returned to the banquet hall.
Tang An suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Her pupils contracted, and her eyes were filled with shock.
I saw.
Jiang Ning, standing in the crowd, was dressed in a black evening gown, radiating light like an elegant black swan, with graceful movements.
Why is she here?
Seeing that Tang An looked unwell, Shi Mubai immediately asked with concern, "An'an, what's wrong?"
Tang An continued, "Brother Mu Bai, do you think that person is Sheng Bao?"
Jiang Ning?!
Upon hearing this, Shi Mubai immediately looked up and, sure enough, saw Jiang Ning.
Shi Mubai frowned slightly.
Why is Jiang Ning here?
Tang An lowered his voice, "Brother Mu Bai, did Sheng Bao secretly follow us here?"
Tang An couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
Shi Mubai was wondering why Jiang Ning was here, but upon hearing Tang An's words, he suddenly understood, and his face was filled with disgust. "She's shameless! As expected of someone raised in the countryside, she's not presentable enough to be presentable. She actually used such despicable methods to attend the banquet. It's disgusting!"
Tang An tugged at Shi Mubai's sleeve, "Brother Mubai, don't say that about Shengbao. She's your sister too. If I can come here, she can naturally come too. Although what Shengbao did was indeed a bit underhanded, Brother Mubai, please don't expose her. After all, she's my grandmother's darling. If you insist on exposing her, my grandmother will lose face."
"Second Madam spoils her, but I won't. If this continues, she'll become unruly! Tonight, I have to kick her out of the banquet hall!"
Tang An had no choice but to follow Shi Mubai's footsteps, but a smug smile appeared on his lips.
Wait!
Jiang Ning is about to be in trouble, and she'll be even more humiliated than her.
Shi Mubai walked directly in front of Jiang Ning and blocked her way. "Stop!"
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Shi Mubai launched into a tirade, "Shi Sheng, let me tell you, this banquet tonight is for bigwigs in the arts and culture world, not a place for someone like you! Don't think that just because you sneaked in under my cousin's name you can become a member of the arts and culture world. Let me tell you! Never!"
"I advise you to leave here immediately, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Tang An stood next to Shi Mubai and said, "Shengbao, you're being too reckless. Even if Brother Mubai didn't bring you to the banquet, you can't sneak in! If this gets out of hand, how will Grandma face anyone? I advise you to apologize to Brother Mubai right away!"
Just then, Lin Shen walked over from the side, looked at Jiang Ning with a respectful expression in his eyes, and said, "Big Boss N, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After saying that, Lin Shen turned to Shi Mubai and said, "Mubai, aren't you the one who admires N the most? Let me introduce you. This is your idol, Boss N. What do you think? Isn't Boss N very young?"
