The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Yes, now everyone must be envious of him!

He is Anmi's father, her only father!

"Miss Yan, I never expected you to be the second young lady of the An family. I've heard before that the second young lady of the An family is exceptionally talented and beautiful, and it's true that the rumors are well-deserved," someone said.

She listened quietly, drinking her wine as if nothing was amiss, the smile on her lips making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

Have you heard of her before? Heh... These people can turn black into white. She, An Mi, was suppressed into a maid by Yu Fangfei and her daughter a long time ago. Even if they heard any rumors, they should have heard about her pitiful state. But who would have sympathized with her when she was pitiful?

These people only see your existence when you are worthy of their admiration; it couldn't be more realistic.

An Mi sipped her wine, watching the people fawning over her. Just then, a familiar voice rang out, causing An Mi's eyebrows to involuntarily rise...

“My daughter, today I must toast you properly. I knew that my daughter, An Yuefeng’s daughter, is incomparable to anyone else. Come, let’s have a good drink together.” An Yuefeng suddenly spoke, his voice unusually loud, as if he wanted everyone present to hear him clearly.

An Mi watched as An Yuefeng walked towards her with a wine glass in his hand, looking arrogant and smug. A hint of sarcasm welled up in her heart. Smug, huh? She wanted to see what he had to be so smug about!

Enjoying the slightly envious gazes of the crowd, An Yuefeng walked up to An Mi and said, "Mi'er, come here. You truly are worthy of being my good daughter, An Yuefeng. Today is your big day as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Let's drink this cup together."

An Yuefeng stood tall. Although he was trying to please An Mi, he couldn't lower his posture. He wanted to tell everyone that even if An Mi became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, even if one day An Mi really became the queen of Bohai, he, An Yuefeng, would still be her father.

An Yuefeng raised his wine glass to An Mi, tilted his head back, and downed the wine in one gulp. He even turned the empty glass upside down to show his savvy drinking. He glanced discreetly at the people around him before his gaze fell on An Mi. However, he noticed that she hadn't drunk any wine, not even touching her glass. An Yuefeng frowned and reminded her, "Mi'er, drink up! Why aren't you drinking?"

An Mi lowered her brows slightly, a smile playing on her lips. Meeting An Yuefeng's gaze, she chuckled and said, "Master An, this humble woman did not agree to drink with you."

One sentence stunned everyone present. Master An? Miss Yan called An Yuefeng Master An? What was going on? Had they all misheard?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their gazes shifting back and forth between An Yuefeng and An Mi several times, as if trying to confirm the situation. After a while, they came to a conclusion: what they had just heard was indeed spoken by Miss Yan.

Upon realizing this, everyone became interested. This Miss Yan's attitude towards An Yuefeng was not as good as they had previously imagined.

To be honest, when Miss Yan's veil was lifted and they learned that she was the second young lady of the An family, they were genuinely envious of An Yuefeng's good fortune in having such a daughter who was even more outstanding than any man. Even those of them who had been in the business world for many years could only look up to her in admiration. They were also thinking that the An family was going to prosper in the future, and An Yuefeng would be even more proud.

But now this has happened. Heh, it seems that the future of the An family and An Yuefeng will have to be reconsidered.

Especially Master Lu, whose smile was now impossible to hide, and whose eyes were shining with anticipation for a good show. This An Yuefeng was about to lose face big time!

"Isn't that right?" An Yuefeng looked flustered. He never expected An Mi to speak to him like that.

“Mi’er, I’m your father. What do you mean by ‘Master An’? I’m your father.” An Yuefeng lowered his voice and carefully chose his words. He knew that An Mi couldn’t be blamed right now, but if he didn’t say anything and assert his authority as a father, he couldn’t afford to lose face with so many people watching.

How could An Mi not know what this "father" was thinking? The face of the An family, and his face, were perhaps a hundred times more important than their children.

“Master An, regardless of how much you, as my father, have ever cared for me, the second young lady of the An family, you are my father in the An family. However, we are in the Chamber of Commerce now. Do you intend to turn this Chamber of Commerce into your An family’s business?” An Mi showed no mercy and spoke indifferently. Her words made An Yuefeng’s face turn pale and then red.

An Yuefeng was speechless. The reason was simple: An Mi had hit the nail on the head. He was thinking that once An Mi became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't the entire Chamber of Commerce belong to the An family?

An Yuefeng was naturally ashamed to be spoken to like this by An Mi in public, and a trace of anger arose in his heart. What exactly did An Mi want to do?

"Hehe, Mr. An, you can't do this. Miss Yan is fair and wouldn't stoop to using the title of Chamber of Commerce president to seek personal gain. However, in my opinion, since Miss Yan is the Chamber of Commerce president, the Chamber is under her leadership. Even if Miss Yan asked me to go through fire and water, even if I had to offer up the entire Lu family's fortune, I wouldn't blink an eye. In my eyes, the Chamber of Commerce may belong to Miss Yan, but it cannot belong to your An family." Mr. Lu was a smart man. Although he didn't glean much from the back-and-forth between An Mi and An Yuefeng, he understood one thing: Miss Yan didn't take An Yuefeng seriously.

Thinking back to when Miss Yan had her manager shut An Yuefeng out, not giving him any chance to do business with Shengshi Lieyan, it seems that An Yuefeng has long lost his reason to be proud.

An Yuefeng's face darkened further, his eyes flashing. "Who said I was going to take over the Chamber of Commerce?"

His obvious guilty conscience was evident in his words, and everyone could see it, adding a touch of sarcasm to their smiles.

"That's good." An Mi said, but still didn't touch the glass of wine. "Master An, since that's the case, please don't call me Mi'er in the Chamber of Commerce anymore. Otherwise, everyone will think that the An family has special privileges in this Chamber of Commerce."

"Haha...that's right, Mr. An, the An family doesn't have any special privileges in the Chamber of Commerce." Mr. Lu laughed heartily, not wanting to miss any opportunity to mock An Yuefeng.

An Yuefeng's eyes narrowed, and he looked over coldly. The smile on Master Lu's face was particularly irritating. Not only Master Lu, but everyone else present had long since lost their envy of him. Compared to their previous indifference towards him, they now showed even more disregard.
