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

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."

The designers at Mingcuifang not only received bonuses, but also had an extra three days of vacation this month.

After finishing these tasks, Wen Yao drove home.

Not long after I got home, I received a call from Lu Zhengran.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Yaoyao, Chairman Ming said he'd like to invite you to dinner."

Ming Shun actually wanted to invite Wen Yao to dinner.

"What's wrong? Is this some kind of trap?"

Just like the ugly scene at Wangjiang Pavilion last time.

Even if Mingshun dared to invite her, she wouldn't dare to go.

"How could it be a trap? Young Master Jiang and I are both here, nothing will happen."

Besides the ugly fight with Wen Yao, Ming Shun also had a very unpleasant encounter with Lu Zhengran, Jiang Han, and the Song family.

So I invited them all this time.

However, Song Zhen has already returned to the capital.

"I can understand why you asked me. Why did you ask me? He was so angry last time, I don't think he can be so magnanimous as to forgive and forget."

Ming Shun was the successor of the Ming family from a young age, and Wen Yao didn't think he had much magnanimity.

"I think it might be related to Mingcui Fang. I've heard that Mingcui Fang has become quite famous recently."

The Ming family is also in the jewelry business; they have no enemies in this circle. They invited you because your current value is high enough.”

Wen Yao felt that Lu Zhengran's words made sense.

She's at least a respectable person now.

"Okay, then help me agree to Mingshun's request."

The following evening, Wen Yao, wearing a Hermes trench coat, went to keep the appointment with Song Zhiqian.

Ming Shun booked a table at a high-end Chinese restaurant in Haicheng.

As soon as she entered the gate, Wen Yao was led by a waiter into an elegantly decorated private room.

"Chairman Wen, Young Master Qian, we're just missing you two."

Ming Shun greeted Wen Yao with a smile.

Wen Yao was still a little unaccustomed to it.

People in their circle tend to turn on each other very quickly.

Wen Yao smiled slightly and shook hands with Ming Shun, then sat down in the empty seat.

Soon, the waiters began to serve the dishes.

"Miss Wen, the main reason I'm here today is to apologize to you."

When Mingshun said this, Wenyao looked at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu looked downcast and very unwilling.

"Last time, I was too impulsive. I only asked Mingzhu about the whole thing after I got home. Now I feel that this was Mingzhu's fault, and I apologize to you."

Then Ming Shun raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wen Yao also took a small sip of her red wine.

Although I don't want to be friends with them, I also don't want to have another enemy in the Dragon Kingdom.

Seeing that Wen Yao seemed to appreciate his gesture, Ming Shun burst into laughter.

"I must thank Miss Wen for her kindness. Here, I, Mingshun, would like to toast everyone."

At this moment, everyone raised their glasses to give Chairman Ming face.

"I didn't expect Miss Wen to be so familiar with Young Master Jiang and Young Master Lu."

If he had known earlier, Ming Shun wouldn't have made things difficult for Wen Yao in public.

Ming Shun had been living in Nancheng for most of the year and had never heard of the rumors about Wen Yao and the Lu family.

"We're quite familiar with each other because we often hang out together."

Ming Shun had intended to get information out of her, but he hadn't expected Wen Yao to be so wary despite her young age.

After three drinks.

Ming Shun then said

"By the way, Miss Wen, I see that your Mingcui Fang is developing quite well."

Wen Yao said in a low-key manner

"Actually, it's not so bad. Unlike your Mingfu Jewelry, which has been passed down for hundreds of years."

“Well, that’s true, but Mingcui Fang is younger, and Miss Wen is also young. She knows what young people like and how to win their hearts. Mingcui Fang’s future is just as promising as Miss Wen’s.”

Knowing how to manipulate people's hearts—doesn't that mean Wen Yao is good at marketing?

Wen Yao didn't say much, she just smiled faintly.

During this period, Ming Shun did a lot of research behind the scenes, but he only found out the basics and had no idea how Wen Yao had made her fortune.

"Miss Wen, Mingfu Jewelry mainly sells pearls and gold, while your Mingcuifang sells jadeite."

"In my opinion, why don't we collaborate and release a co-branded product? It's sure to be a huge hit."

Wen Yao had no opinion on this at all. Ming Shun was a hypocrite, and working with someone like that would be exhausting.

“My staff has always handled the affairs of Mingcuifang, including all the recent new models. I haven’t interfered at all. Chairman Ming, why don’t you have your assistant contact my chief designer?”

This euphemistic way of saying no is a rejection.

Ming Shun cursed inwardly.

"That's fine. I've heard that Miss Wen owns many businesses, so it's normal that she's too busy to take care of everything."

However, one of my assistants bought a piece of jewelry from Ming Cui Fang during the New Year this year. I examined it carefully, and the quality suggests it's made in the mountains of southern Taiwan.

Lingyu belongs to the southern region that Mingshun mentioned.

"I wonder which supplier Miss Wen has. They are so powerful. I heard that Mingcuifang's goods are rare on the market."

This is already a trade secret. How could suppliers casually reveal this information to businesses like theirs that deal in jewelry?

Mingfu Jewelry's suppliers are all from the Ming family's own businesses.

Wen Yao smiled without saying a word, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Everyone present could tell that Ming Shun had spoken out of turn.

Lu Zhengran said

"Chairman Ming, this supplier issue is a bit complicated."

Ming Shun laughed awkwardly twice.

"Yes, yes, I had too much to drink and offended Miss Wen."

The dinner party couldn't continue at this point, and it ended ten minutes later.

When he saw the group off at the restaurant entrance, Ming Shun's face finally darkened.

"She dares to put on airs in front of me, huh! If I don't bring her down, I'm not Ming!"

Mingzhu didn't have much fun today either.

“Dad, I’m telling you, you shouldn’t have treated us to this meal. They don’t appreciate it at all.”

I've really lost face today.

"By the way, how's your relationship with Young Master Jiang and Young Master Lu going lately?"

Mingzhu lowered her head and shook it.

When Mingshun saw this, his face almost scrunched up.

"Then why didn't you say more today, so as to soften your impression of Young Master Jiang and Young Master Lu?"

"Fine, tomorrow you'll take the gifts and arrange them at the Lu and Jiang families yourself. Be smart."

"understood."

The voice was weak and feeble.

Wen Yao and Song Zhiqian rode in the car and returned to their residence together.

"Thanks to you, we've finally been able to have Chairman Ming's apology meal, haha."

Song Zhiqian sat in the car and joked.

"Stop laughing. He's the kind of person who holds grudges. If you get entangled with someone like that, it'll be really annoying."

Song Zhiqian sat up straight.

"What's there to be afraid of? The Song, Jiang, and Lu families are all on your side."

Wen Yao snorted coldly

"Although we are friends, I can't let you make enemies for no reason."

"Wen Yao, that's a very cold and heartless thing to say."

"I'm your assistant, so the Song family will definitely help you."
