“Mingzhu, this is Wen Yao, the founder of Mingcuifang. You are about the same age, so you can get to know each other.”

Mingzhu is holding a phone in one hand.

A pair of eyes scanned Wen Yao up and down.

Wen Yao tilted her head to look at her and gave her a soft greeting.

"Hello, Ms. Ming."

As a result, Mingzhu didn't react at all, and simply said "Oh" to Mingshun.

Wen Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Zhiqian with a puzzled expression.

Song Zhiqian knew, of course, that this was impolite, and he frowned slightly.

"Mingzhu, stop playing on your phone. Now that you're here, you should learn to socialize with everyone, just like Qian Shao."

Mingzhu impatiently took the phone.

"I know, what's so social about this? It's all just old people."

And shouldn't others be seeking me out for socializing? I'm a precious gem!

Wen Yao seemed to have been ignored.

However, she didn't care what the two people opposite her thought of her.

In Mingfu Jewelry's eyes, Mingcuifang was indeed just a small fry.

Wen Yao gave Song Zhiqian a look, then turned around, took a few steps, and returned to the dessert area.

Without a second thought, Song Zhiqian followed Wen Yao.

Although he was a spoiled rich kid, he wasn't insensitive.

In the eyes of those traditional merchants with many rules, Wen Yao's reaction had already offended the Ming family.

But Song Zhiqian is a rich second-generation, and no matter what he does, others only see him as an immature child.

Mingzhu raised an eyebrow, looking at the two leaving with some surprise.

"Dad, what does she mean? I don't think she wants to socialize with you."

Since taking over the Ming family, Ming Shun has been flattered by everyone. Today, a mere young girl dares to embarrass him.

"Hmph! Useless thing, she can't seize the opportunity even if given one, so don't blame me for being impolite."

Ming Shun came to find Wen Yao because Mingcuifang had been quite popular recently.

Although he always said that Mingcuifang was a small workshop, he secretly researched a lot of information about it.

"Dad, you wouldn't be thinking of cooperating with Mingcuifang just because of it, would you? Are you crazy? Mingfu Jewelry has a history of hundreds of years."

Mingcuifang has only been popular for a short time; at most, it's just a trendy brand.

"Besides, didn't you see? They've trained Qian Shao into this state. Who knows, maybe the name of Mingcuifang is Song!"

The four major families have all had interactions in private.

Moreover, Song Zhiqian's reputation as a second-generation rich kid is widespread in the industry. Everyone knows that Song Zhiqian is a troublemaker who is not disciplined. In the past, Song Zhiqian's title was the heir of the Song family. Now, Song Zhiqian's title is the son of Chairman Song.

The Ming and Song families had quite a bit of interaction, and seeing Song Zhiqian so obedient this time made the father and daughter uneasy.

"Mingzhu, don't say such things outside. It's not good if people hear it."

Mingzhu rolled her eyes at the ceiling; she definitely hadn't heard a word he said.

Meanwhile, Song Zhiqian looked at Wen Yao's expression and asked...

"Wen Yao, are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy, it's just that there's no need to waste time there."

Wen Yao raised her head arrogantly.

Everyone comes here to make connections, so there's no need to pretend.

“I don’t think they are sincere enough, so there’s no need to socialize with them anymore.”

Song Zhiqian gave her a thumbs up.

"Wow! Wen Yao, you and I have the same idea. Since others aren't sincere, why should we put on a smiling face?"

Just like before, my second uncle and aunt couldn't stand seeing my sister doing well, so they came to the old house to make trouble, wanting to divide the family property among my cousin, and my mother still had to smile and welcome them in.

Honestly, since the company is still in my dad's hands anyway, I'd say we should have kicked them out back then! My sister wouldn't have had to go through with the arranged marriage.

Wealthy families value their reputation above all else; it would be unsightly for the family to fall out. Moreover, at the time, the older generation of the Song family all supported the second son and his family.

Song Zhen is also under a lot of pressure.

Wen Yao felt that these two things should not be confused, but in the end, she still couldn't give those relatives too much face, so she didn't deny him.

"Everyone here is a top-tier figure in the country. I've already reached that level, why should I have to be subservient to them? They haven't given me anything."

The two rarely found themselves so compatible, and they talked for quite a while.

"You two seem to be having a good chat."

Lu Zhengran, Song Zhen, and Jiang Han arrived at some point.

Song Zhiqian and Wen Yao immediately shut up. They were indeed having a good time, since they were talking about other people's gossip.

"Song Zhiqian, I must say, you actually look quite dashing in a suit."

Song Zhen held her wine glass, one corner of her mouth turned up in a smile.

Song Zhiqian immediately puffed out his chest.

"Of course, it's just that I didn't like wearing suits before. If I were to actually wear one, who could be as impeccably dressed as me?"

Even when attending formal occasions, Song Zhiqian used to wear heavy metal outfits, looking incredibly trendy.

Song Zhen stood between Jiang Han and Lu Zhengran.

She and Lu Zhengran were indeed a perfect match, both in appearance and in character.

However, Wen Yao could clearly see a distance between the two of them, a distance that usually only exists between people who are not familiar with each other.

While the group was chatting, Mingzhu walked over without anyone noticing.

"Hi, Sister Song Zhen, Young Master Lu, it's been a long time!"

She almost ran over.

Mingzhu saw Song Zhen and Lu Zhengran while she was drinking, so she quickly put down her glass and ran over.

"Young Master Jiang, you're here too."

Mingzhu looked much more generous than before, and her smile was much more genuine.

She looked around and was stunned when she saw Wen Yao.

Then, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

It's unbelievable that Wen Yao was able to infiltrate their circle!

"What were you guys talking about just now? You seemed to be having a lot of fun."

Lu Zhengran said, "It was just casual conversation."

The smile on Mingzhu's face had vanished.

"Oh, I thought you guys were here socializing and expanding your network."

Apart from Wen Yao, the people at the station had all known each other for many years.

"They're all acquaintances, so there's no need to expand my network."

Mingzhu felt a pang of sadness.

She usually studies in Nancheng. If she were in Haicheng, how could she possibly let Wen Yao join them?

"When did you guys become so close? You don't usually hang out together when I'm not around, do you?"

Mingzhu passed through the five of them and finally stood between Song Zhiqian and Jiang Han.

Song Zhiqian had a nonchalant and carefree attitude.

"If you want to play, then come and play. Who's stopping you?"

Mingzhu felt that she had been humiliated.

"You! Song Zhiqian, you're getting more and more rude. We're in class, don't think everyone's like you, always skipping class."

However, I'm already a senior, so I don't have to go to school next semester. Let's get together more often from now on.
