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

"So, Chairman Xie accepted the money?"

Wen Yao asked tentatively.

"Yes, this amount is quite large, of course my dad will accept it."

Wen Yao had already guessed it: two middle-aged men who were only interested in profit.

"But don't worry, I won't cut off your supply."

Just as Wen Yao was still pondering the future supply of goods, Xie Ling said this, dispelling Wen Yao's doubts.

"But didn't Chairman Xie already accept the money?"

“My dad said that he took money from the Ming family, so naturally he wouldn’t supply you with goods. But he’s the one who took the money, while I’m your supplier.”

Wen Yao raised an eyebrow; it was practically a word game.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xie Ling."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

I knew Chairman Ming's ideas weren't that simple.

Fortunately, Xie Lingting is a man of his word.

During this time, Wen Yao also focused on her work and didn't pay attention to Ming Shun's little tricks.

Recently, Mingcuifang has added ten more stores.

On a typical morning, Wen Yao was sitting on the sofa in her office watching TV.

At that moment, Tang Zhen suddenly knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Tang Zhen carried her laptop into the chairman's office.

"Miss, there are rumors about Mingcui Fang circulating online."

They claimed that the "Golden Jade Serpent" piece we offered as a reward was counterfeit, made with chalcedony.

Chalcedony is not a type of jadeite at all, and it can usually be bought for a few dozen yuan.

Wen Yao frowned slightly.

How can this be.

Not to mention that all her goods were transported from Lingyu's mines.

Moreover, Shengming is overseeing things at Lingyu's place, and he will send over the selected raw stones.

From stone cutting to processing, the entire process is completed by Wenyao's factory.

Her goods are all the best; how could they possibly contain chalcedony?

“Miss, the account that initially broke the news that we tracked down is called ‘Xiao Jiu’. He’s not a blogger, he’s just an ordinary person.”

Last night, someone posted online that the gold and jade snake they bought was a fake, and the comments section was full of people agreeing with them.

Wen Yao scrolled through the comments section.

"It's fake? Although the reward money isn't that expensive in comparison, it's still at least ten or twenty thousand."

"Ten or twenty thousand yuan could buy a jade bracelet. Wen Yao is so greedy! Is she in such a hurry to make money?"

“I also bought the snake as a reward, but I suspect the gold is fake. I went to a professional gold shop, and the staff said the color of the gold was wrong.”

"I figured it out a long time ago. What good products can an internet celebrity sell? Just watch her videos and that's it. I didn't expect you guys to actually buy them."

"I also bought a jade snake, but a friend of mine who collects jade says it's not real jadeite. How can I protect my rights?"

"..."

Suddenly, a large number of victims appeared in the comments section.

"Miss, this video started gaining traction last night. Many bloggers posted videos of it this morning."

She filmed herself buying jewelry at Mingcui Fang. At the end of the video, she said, "The jadeite from Mingcui Fang is substandard."

Tang Zhen showed Wen Yao several videos.

A close examination of these videos reveals obvious signs of editing.

But netizens don't care about any of that; all they know is the name of the scenic spot, Mingcuifang.

"It's one thing for him to say that our Mingcuifang products are substandard, but the real issue is that he actually said our sales service attitude is bad?"

Wen Yao simply couldn't tolerate this at all.

The sales staff at Mingcuifang are all professionally selected, and in addition to a basic salary of 5,000 yuan, Wen Yao also provides a very high commission.

Because Mingcuifang sells expensive jadeite, the commission earned from selling each piece of jewelry is very high.

Rumors about Mingcuifang's poor sales attitude spread across the internet in no time.

Wen Yao's account was flooded with insults.

"If she really put herself in the consumer's shoes, she wouldn't be so rich."

"Yes, so money isn't earned, it's squeezed out."

"When will these vicious capitalists be allowed to leave China?"

"Luckily I've never bought anything from Mingcuifang, and I won't buy from them again in the future."

Wen Yao turned off the comments section.

"I suspect this was orchestrated by the Ming family; it's a complete conspiracy to spread rumors online and make Mingcuifang disappear."

Wen Yao wrapped her arms around her waist

"It seems that Mingcuifang is doing well. In just a few months, it has blocked Mingfu Jewelry's path."

Wen Yao looked at Tang Zhen

"In that case, you should first go to a public relations firm to clarify the rumors."

"Also, invite that Xiao Jiu over to the company and tell him we're prepared to compensate him."

Tang Zhen nodded.

"Then, this afternoon I will do a live broadcast to show our production line and also the factory in Lingyu."

"Okay, I'll take care of it now."

Tang Zhen had just stepped out the door when Wen Yao received a call from an unknown number less than half a minute later.

"Hello?"

Good morning, Miss Wen.

That’s definitely Ming Shun’s voice.

Across from them, Ming Shun sat in his van, greeting Wen Yao with a beaming smile.

It's less of a greeting and more of a provocation.

"Ah, Chairman Ming, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wen Yao's voice sounded no different from usual, as if nothing had happened.

"I heard that something happened to your Mingcuifang recently. I'm not trying to be mean, Miss Wen, but we business people value integrity the most. Customers are actually quite easy to fool. As long as you are sincere, they will treat you with great respect."

"You've made a mess of things, sigh, you're just too young. You can't be so hasty in your actions."

Ming Shunyin not only ignored her, but also started lecturing her.

Wen Yao gritted her teeth.

"You mean this matter? My assistant has already gone to investigate."

However, Chairman Ming is quite up-to-date with current events; he noticed something that happened just yesterday.

"Hey, we're in the same industry, it's only right for colleagues to care about each other."

That statement is utterly disgusting.

"I'm calling today to invite you to lunch, Ms. Wen."

Wen Yao frowned.

"Didn't we just eat together last time? Why are we eating together again?"

"Isn't this the trouble that happened at Mingcuifang? I'm a senior here, so it's necessary for me to pass on some experience in doing jewelry business to you, isn't it?"

"Miss Wen, don't worry, Young Master Lu is here too. Let's have a good get-together today."

Wen Yao thought for a while.

She was quite keen to go and see what Ming Shun was up to.

Ming Shun happened to invite her and Lu Zhengran.

Wen Yao was actually looking forward to the lunch party.

"Okay, Chairman Ming, please send me the address. I'll be there at noon sharp."

Ming Shun laughed heartily.

"Miss Wen is so straightforward."

Then the two hung up the phone.
