Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 259: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 59
Some time later, Su Zhiruan accidentally learned about Jiang Beiyu’s recent situation from a subordinate. After lying low for a while, he had pulled himself together and started a new company. It wasn’t very large, but it had begun to grow.
Of course, Su Zhiruan wouldn’t just watch him grow his company. She deliberately set traps for him and intercepted several of Jiang Beiyu’s resources on numerous occasions.
A significant portion of Jiang Beiyu’s resources were customers he had covertly accumulated while working at the Su Group.
Apart from a few small-time celebrities who trusted him, the rest with potential had been poached by Su Zhiruan and brought back to her company without exception.
Even if Jiang Beiyu was grinding his teeth with frustration behind her back, it was of no use.

Not long after,
Su Zhiruan was invited to a cocktail party.
This was an internal entertainment industry gathering, and the Su Family, who had been increasingly involved in the entertainment sector, was always on the guest list.
This time was no exception. She held a wine glass, surrounded by numerous stars and directors eager to curry favor with her.
"Mr. Xiaosu, you’ve signed quite a few newcomers lately. Are you looking to make inroads into the entertainment industry and delve deeper?" a moderately famous director asked with a smile, trying to ingratiate himself with Su Zhiruan.
With utmost composure, Su Zhiruan held her wine glass, "That is indeed the plan. If the opportunity arises, it would be our honor to work with all the esteemed seniors here. Let me toast to you first."
After she finished speaking, several directors displayed expressions of being flattered, while the celebrities following them became even more proactive in their approach to Su Zhiruan upon hearing her words, with a couple of them appearing particularly eager to try.
After several rounds of drinks and numerous performances arranged by the host of the party, Su Zhiruan, having had a few drinks and feeling a bit warm, decided to go upstairs to catch a breath of fresh air and sober up a bit.
The moment she lifted her skirt hem and set foot on the stairs, she saw Jiang Beiyu was also there, and he noticed her the moment she appeared.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xiaosu," Jiang Beiyu said, swallowing all his emotions and raising his glass with a smile to continue, "Recently, I’ve been hearing quite a bit about your splendid achievements, Mr. Xiaosu."
Behind him stood several young faces, all new fresh meat on the entertainment scene, who looked at Su Zhiruan with varying expressions.
"What splendid achievements?" Resting against the wall behind her, Su Zhiruan appeared relaxed as she twirled her wine glass, the golden liquid swirling inside, which matched stunningly with the sparkles of her silver gown. She wore a moon-shaped crystal ornament at her temple, which gleamed radiantly under the lights. "Tell me about them."
Jiang Beiyu’s gaze held concealed animosity, and seeing Su Zhiruan like this, he felt both love and hatred.
Ever since she left him, she had become exceptionally outstanding, effortlessly adept at both management and business, as naturally as a fish takes to water.
But the thought of her sabotaging him and poaching talent made Jiang Beiyu’s blood boil every time it crossed his mind.
"Mr. Xiaosu truly is a Noble with a short memory," Jiang Beiyu pulled the young stars behind him close for protection as he addressed Su Zhiruan, "You’ve pried away quite a few resources from me, and I haven’t said a word. But now, pretending you don’t understand is a bit far-fetched, isn’t it?"
"You’re not worried that I might poach these new talents you’ve just signed, are you?" Su Zhiruan glanced briefly at them, recognizing these familiar faces from the original owner’s memories, and let out a light scoff, "You don’t have to worry, these people can stay with you. I don’t want any of them."
"Mr. Xiaosu has guts!" Jiang Beiyu looked at her intently, as though he was looking at a stranger.
Su Zhiruan laughed.
If these people had been of any use, she would have definitely poached them without a second thought. However, the stars that Jiang Beiyu was so protectively gathered around were the same ones from the original owner’s memories.
The men, who formed a boy band and led extraordinarily disordered private lives, and aside from them, there were even those involved in drug use, prostitution, tax evasion, and fraud!
It was a wonder if Jiang Beiyu had picked them up right from the prison’s front door.
