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

Liu Yiqing refused outright.

"Well... isn't there still a chance? How about we offer you a higher price?"

The assistant himself felt guilty after hearing this. Ming Shun was such a stingy person, his offer might not necessarily be as high as Wen Yao's.

"No need, I already have a lot of money. Mingzhenfang can give me 40 million every year. It's not only enough to support me and my family, but also more than enough to pay the salaries of my 200 employees."

"Enough money is enough. This amount is just enough to make me happy. I know your big company can definitely give me more, but if you betray our trust, it's meaningless to earn more money."

Since signing the contract, Liu Yiqing has recruited 200 more employees, which is just enough to make use of all the wasteland.

The assistant's lips twitched. It was true that Ming's Group was a big company, but Ming Shunzhen might not necessarily spend that much money.

But if this task isn't completed, the assistant doesn't dare go back at all.

"Um, Sister Liu, are you really not going to reconsider? Mingfu Jewelry is a top international brand. Putting aside the fact that it will make you money, the main thing is that supplying Mingfu Jewelry will make you look better, and it will also enhance your status in the pearl farming industry in the future."

Liu Yiqing looked disgusted.

"Face? You mean selling freshwater pearls at exorbitant prices, is that face? I'm telling you, if you're going to sell freshwater pearls, you should lower the prices a bit."

"And I remember you used to sell saltwater pearls. Who's your boss? How could you be so greedy?"

The assistant didn't refute this statement; Ming Shun was indeed greedy.

Seeing that Liu Yiqing remained unmoved, the assistant didn't want to persuade her anymore. Mainly, he couldn't go against his conscience. Providing pearls to Wen Yao was indeed much more profitable than providing pearls to the Ming family. He couldn't just drag someone into a fire pit.

The assistant didn't return to the company until noon the next day. When Ming Shun heard that the matter had failed, he gave her another thorough scolding.

"What, you don't want to do it anymore either?"

"No, it's the chairman, it's Boss Liu. She sells seawater pearls, and the purchase price is particularly high. Mingzhenfang pays Boss Liu about 40 million a year."

Ming Shun was stunned when he heard this.

"We only deal in freshwater pearls! Couldn't you even ask if they have any freshwater pearls?!"

The assistant blinked. Ming Shun not only didn't want to spend money, but also wanted Liu Yiqing to switch careers to make freshwater pearls.

"Well... they live by the sea."

A silence fell over the office. Ming Shun looked at his assistant with a gloomy expression. Just then, Ming Zhu suddenly entered the office.

"dad!"

Mingshun arrived at the office dressed in the latest summer Chanel collection, her makeup on, her voice sweet, but she still looked unhappy.

"Mingzhu, what brings you here?"

"Dad, I see that Mingzhenfang is getting a lot of attention online, is that true?"

Mingshun nodded.

Mingzhu was somewhat incredulous and said angrily

"That clever little devil! She sees that we sell pearls, so she sells pearls too. But what kind of pearls does she sell? Don't we have any of those?"

The assistant explained from the side.

“Miss Ming, Mingzhenfang sells saltwater pearls, while our store sells freshwater pearls.”

Mingzhu certainly knew the difference between saltwater pearls and freshwater pearls. When she went out to sell pearl jewelry, she would always choose saltwater pearls first.

She looked down at her assistant.

"How do you know? Did you go to their farm?"

I don't know why Mingzhu is much younger than the assistant, but this contemptuous look seems to be innate. She always looks down on these people from the lower class.

"Yes, I personally visited the breeding farm of Mingzhenfang's supplier, it's on Pearl Island..."

Before the assistant could finish speaking, Mingzhu lost interest and turned to Mingshun, saying...

"It's not like they're the only ones using seawater pearls, so why do theirs sell better than other brands?"

Upon hearing his daughter say those words, Mingshun's eyes lit up.

"Yes, why do they sell pearls that are all plump and full? Where in the world can you find so many good saltwater pearls? It's said that each oyster produces only one pearl. How do they feed the oysters? Isn't that harmful to human health?"

As Ming Shun said this, he couldn't help but get excited, and the father and daughter exchanged a glance.

"Mingzhu, you've really helped your father a lot. I'll give you an extra million in pocket money this month."

The assistant didn't have time to sigh about the one million yuan in pocket money; she was more surprised. Was Ming Shun trying to frame Mingzhenfang?

"Chairman, when I went there, I didn't see any workers feeding the pearls harmful food..."

"Get out of here! One more word and you're fired, believe it or not! You can't even handle a simple task, and now you dare to talk back? With your mindset, you'll only ever be an assistant. Get out!"

The assistant could only swallow her anger and leave the office.

At this moment, Wen Yao was unaware of what had happened and was still happily heading to the capital to attend the opening ceremony of the new store.

The Mingzhenfang store in Beijing has also received a lot of investment and is currently the largest store in the country. In order to attract more customers, Wen Yao went to the store in person and took the opportunity to visit Beijing.

Throughout the morning, many people surrounded Wen Yao to take photos. Wen Yao knew that most of these passersby meant well, so she took photos with each of them.

In the evening, Wen Yao and Jiang Tang had dinner together.

"Wen Yao, you've been trending on social media every other day this semester, and every time it's a big deal. You're really good at creating trouble."

"It's alright. As you know, I don't have to go to school anymore. I haven't been to school this semester except for the first day."

Jiang Tang's eyes revealed an expression of envy.

"I really envy you. I have to stay at school during the day and then go to the tailor shop to learn after school."

Wen Yao asked curiously

"By the way, how's your studying going lately?"

"It's a bit tiring, but I feel like I'm really learning a lot. Besides studying, I also have to greet guests when I'm not busy."

Sometimes, Teacher Ji would even let me personally alter the clothes for the customers. Now, everyone in that alley knows that I am Teacher Ji's student.

Can you believe it? I've never even peeled fruit before, and now I'm helping people alter clothes.

Jiang Tang spread her hands; she hadn't had her nails done in a long time because she wanted to focus on her work.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you feel it's worth it."

Jiang Tang smiled. For her, it was definitely worth it. Immersing herself in something she loved, even though it was tiring, was something she did willingly.

"Yes, I also plan to start a women's clothing brand in the future!"
