Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

Seeing that Wen Yao had personally apologized, everyone expressed their understanding.

[Ding! System task: Mingcuifang stores must reach at least 100 nationwide. Task time limit: within 20 days.]

The system will cover the costs of this task!

Wen Yao sent out the text, and soon after, she heard the system's voice.

"Hey! You should have said so earlier, then I wouldn't have edited this paragraph."

Then, Wen Yao reopened the comments section and left another comment below her previous one.

"But don't be disappointed, although this goal cannot be achieved in the short term."

However, we definitely have the capability to open 100 Mingcui Fang stores across various provinces within 20 days. We mean what we say! Stay tuned!

In an instant, netizens who were still browsing the comments section were in an uproar.

"A hundred stores? Can you just open them like that?"

"I don't care, I want the Golden Jade Spirit Serpent. I must open one in Rongcheng, please, please."

"If I remember correctly, Mingcui Fang only opened last December, right? How come it's already making a profit so quickly?"

"It's not necessarily true that we have to wait until we're profitable to expand. Maybe this rich woman is both capable and confident."

"..."

This incident briefly made it to the top of the trending searches.

A hundred stores is no joke; if they lose money, the losses will be devastating.

However, Wen Yao's money was all provided by the system.

"Miss, Mingcui Fang is developing too fast."

Tang Zhen also saw the news and couldn't help but ask Wen Yao a question.

"Actually, I didn't originally intend for Mingcuifang to grow this big, but the time was right. Look, many people online want to buy the Golden Jade Spirit Snake but can't."

Tian Zhaozhao just sent me a WeChat message saying that there are already over 10,000 people in the live stream.

Wen Yao initially only wanted to open a jade shop and never thought she would expand so quickly.

However, since we've already come this far, we might as well focus on developing Mingcuifang properly. Who knows, we might even be able to expand overseas in the future.

That same day, Wen Yao and Tang Zhen began selecting locations. First, in every first-tier city across the country, each city must have three Mingcui Fang stores.

Then, we selected some more cities with larger populations, and soon, a hundred stores were booked.

"By the way, Tang Zhen, allocate more manpower and resources. I promised everyone that I would complete this within 20 days."

Tang Zhen nodded and gave the order.

Tang Zhen then instructed the staff at Mingcuifang to arrange the rest.

That day was also the day "Uncontrollable Tenderness" premiered online.

The response was very positive.

Only two episodes aired today, and it already trended on social media for a few minutes.

"Sister Wen Yao, have you watched the TV show I acted in? A lot of netizens are praising me in the comments."

This is Xu Si'an's first time playing the male lead, so it's understandable that there's some anticipation.

The online response has indeed been overwhelmingly positive.

"I'm too busy today and haven't had time to watch it yet. I'll watch it later, I'll definitely watch it later."

Your TV show has just started airing; you'll probably be quite busy in a while.

"It's okay, Sister Wenyao. I'm not afraid of being busy; I'm just afraid of not having any work."

Wen Yao nodded. All of Wen Yao's work had been progressing smoothly during this period, and it was truly a good start to the year.

At this moment, Tang Zhen placed the computer in front of Wen Yao.

"Miss, the ratings for 'Uncontrollable Tenderness' are pretty good. If it can maintain that, I estimate that the next script will come to him soon."

Wen Yao nodded.

"By the way, let him handle the script selection himself. We can get him some variety show appearances or something in a few days."

If a drama becomes popular, its exposure must also keep up, otherwise, like Xu Si'an last time, it will miss a chance to become popular.

The beginning of the year is usually quite busy.

Wen Yao also bought a factory in the suburbs to supply finished products to Ming Cui Fang.

The work at hand is now finished.

After being busy for countless days, Wen Yao finally returned to He Feng Villa and rested for a whole day.

Some time ago, Song Zhiqian returned to the Song family home.

I finally got back to Haicheng today.

"Wen Yao, you're something else! I've seen your name trending on social media a lot these past few days since I left."

Wen Yao shrugged.

"There's nothing we can do, that's just the power we have."

Song Zhiqian scoffed with a disdainful "Tch~".

"However, my mom praised me and even gave me a big red envelope."

The "big red envelope" that Song Zhiqian mentioned must be at least several million yuan.

"Alright, get your hands ready for work. Tang Zhen and I have been working overtime these past few days."

Song Zhiqian plopped down on the sofa in the living room.

"I don't like my current job. I still think it was more fun following you before, even though it was tough and we were going to places like Lingyu and Wubang, places even dogs wouldn't want to go."

But it was actually quite fun. By the way, when are Xie Ling and the others coming to Haicheng?

Song Zhiqian leaned on the armrest of the sofa, looking expectant.

"Heh, you're still thinking about Xie Ling? Forget about it."

Just as they finished speaking, Ji Chu came to find Wen Yao with a document in his hand.

"Miss, we just received a document."

Wen Yao took the document and opened it with some suspicion.

"A New Year's invitation from the Dragon Kingdom Chamber of Commerce?"

Song Zhiqian also joined in.

"Eh? You're a member of the Chamber of Commerce too?"

Wen Yao nodded.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is rotated among the four major families, so Song Zhiqian naturally knew about this.

"The Chamber of Commerce holds a meeting at the beginning of each year, and I heard from my dad that this year it's scheduled to be held in Haicheng."

Wen Yao glanced at the meeting date; it was the day after tomorrow, and the location was the Wangjiang Pavilion banquet hall.

"At Wangjiang Pavilion?"

"Yes, because the Jiang family became the chairman this year."

Song Zhiqian then said mysteriously

"Moreover, I heard that the person representing the Jiang family at this year's meeting is Brother Jiang Han."

"Brother Jiang Han, I don't remember him being that much older than me."

After thinking about it carefully, Wen Yao couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

A man in his twenties not only became the head of the Jiang family, but also the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

"You wouldn't believe it, but many socialites from the capital want to come to Haicheng."

I initially came for Zheng Ran and Jiang Han, but now that Zheng Ran is engaged, only Jiang Han is left.

Wen Yao had heard about this matter; not only in the capital, but also in Haicheng, many people were eyeing it.

"It's not the case in Haicheng yet. Many elders are thinking about it and want to introduce it to their daughters."

As Wen Yao spoke, she put the invitation away.

Song Zhiqian, however, became gossipy.

"Hey, what about you? You're only 18. What's so fun about your job? You don't happen to like Tang Zhen, do you? You praise her every day."

Wen Yao rolled her eyes

"Let me ask you this: if I don't praise her, am I supposed to praise you? Do you know how much money Tang Zhen has made for me? And what about you? You fell for Xie Ling in Lingyu, and you fell for Emma in Ubang."

"Young Master, you certainly have high standards! If you keep gossiping, I'll send you back to Ubang to be Karan's son-in-law!"
