No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Before the Huo family, the Jiang family was the only powerful family. Now that they are competing with the Huo family, the Jiang family will undoubtedly be the loser, and they are not the ones the Jiang family can compete with.

After leaving the Jiang family, Pei Zhan looked at the sign on the door, a sharp light flashing in his dark eyes.

The Jiang family's private car isn't bad.

However, it can't compare to the Audi that Pei Zhan modified, where the engine alone costs over a million.

The car was going very fast and quickly caught up with the car that the Jiang family was in.

Jiang Hua was playing a mobile game when she caught sight of the car behind her out of the corner of her eye. Soon, the car was driving alongside her.

She frowned and closed the car window.

Then he continued, looking down at his phone.

Shen Bao'er: Don't worry, I'll definitely keep it a secret for you.

Brother, you'll probably have to go and talk to them yourself.

How could I dare to let him listen to what I say?

Jiang Hua sent a cute "ok" emoji.

When Jiang Hua looked up at the road ahead, she saw that Pei Zhan, that country bumpkin, had suddenly run ahead of her.

How could his beat-up car go that fast?

Jiang Hua made up an excuse and got off the bus at the west gate of the school.

Jiang Hua went inside after Uncle Wang left.

In Ximen Science Park, there is a small, inconspicuous studio in a corner. You might mistake it for a garbage room where someone throws trash. There is a lot of garbage piled up at the entrance, and now that it is summer, a pungent stench hits you.

Then a man wearing a black apron and glasses, with an ordinary appearance, who looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, came out, kicked away the trash, and roared at the library students passing by the door, "Who on earth is blind?! This is my studio, not a place for you to dump your trash. If I see you doing this again, I'll make sure you don't graduate!"

Jiang Hua touched the tip of her nose and walked closer. Fang Liang saw her and looked her up and down. "You've come to the wrong place. Hurry up and move along. Don't delay my work."

The other person had a bad temper. Jiang Hua crossed her arms, ignored his words, and walked into the office with some disgust.

She looked around; the scene inside was messy, as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

The ground was covered with dust from the cutting of jade.

"No, who do you think you are! This isn't a place for a rich girl like you. Don't make me pay for your dirty dress later. I'm telling you, you wish."

Jiang Hua looked at the disheveled, unkempt man in front of her with disdain. He had a stubble beard. She scoffed and said, "Judging by your appearance, you really can't afford to pay. I never intended for you to pay anyway."

Fang Liang: "Hey, how can you talk like that?"

Jiang Hua: "Professor Guo, didn't I tell you that someone was coming today?"

"Professor Guo? You know Professor Guo? Wait a minute... you're the master Professor Guo was talking about?"

"No, you?"

Jiang Hua ignored him, "You're so long-winded."

"You can leave now. I don't want anyone around when I'm doing things."

"Also, next time you should clean up properly. It was really dirty, and it got my shoes dirty."

Jiang Hua tugged at her skirt. If she had known the studio would be like this, she wouldn't have worn a skirt.

Jiang Hua seemed to be visiting for the first time. She walked into a storage room, found an apron, put it on, and skillfully used hair clips to put her hair up.

"What are you looking at me for? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Fang Liang almost stomped his foot in anger when he heard this. "You're really shameless. I just wanted to see what you're capable of. Professor Guo even exaggerated to you, saying you're better than me."

"I don't believe it."

For the first time, a somewhat abnormal man looked at her face. She wasn't stunning, but in his eyes, Jiang Hua didn't see any other wicked thoughts or evil intentions.

Jiang Hua looked at the cushion on the chair, which had been worn black from being sat on so many times. Disgusted, she kicked it away and wiped the chair with a tissue before sitting down.

It was indeed embarrassing for a grown man to be so slovenly and to be seen by outsiders.

He quickly picked up the things on the ground without saying a word.

Jiang Hua took out the broken jade bracelet from her hand and neatly placed it on the table.

Fang Liang laughed, "Is this all you need to fix? I knew how to do that when I was in high school."

"Who doesn't know how to fix it with gold inlay under polishing?"

Jiang Hua ignored him. After she made a phone call, someone delivered the materials she had ordered.

Jiang Hua used her pen to draw out a portion of the material she wanted on the jade...

Fang Liang couldn't figure out what she was going to do, so he watched very carefully from the side.

Fang Liang is the only one left at Imperial University, majoring in jewelry restoration. Everyone was eager to get into this major, but now, with the changing times, the major has withered away and she is the only one left.

This major is really not popular. All my college classmates who studied this major have left. The main reason is that it's not profitable. Either they don't make any money, or they don't make any business at all. If they do make money, it's enough to last them three years.

After all, nowadays, truly wealthy people just throw away jewelry when it's broken; they don't even think about repairing it. Even if it is repaired, it's a defective product, and they simply won't keep it.

Fang Liang would occasionally try to chat with Jiang Hua, but she ignored him. Bored, he fell asleep on a nearby chair, snoring with his head tilted back. The old electric fan above him made a loud noise.

The indoor temperature was just right for Jiang Hua.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Hua was always busy with her own things.

Before we knew it, it was afternoon, and dusk was approaching.

Fang Liang went back at the appointed time.

Before leaving, he took a key from the pocket of his apron and handed it to her, saying, "I'm leaving now. Don't forget to lock the door when you leave."

Kyoto Hotel.

In a private room, Zhou Yan laughed heartily and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. "It was so satisfying! Those employees in Jiang's Design Department are really giving me a headache. They're so slow and inefficient, nothing like I used to be. A single task would take a whole week to complete."

"No matter what, Pei Zhan, the person I am most grateful to is still you. If it weren't for... helping me get the position of design director of King brand, I wouldn't have everything I have today."

Pei Zhan: "You've had too much to drink."

Zhou Yan waved her hand. "No, I'm happy. After A-Xu died, I've been holding a grudge. Watching my enemy live better and better while I was powerless to do anything about it. Although we're less than one percent away from getting our revenge, just thinking about how my enemy's company is now under my feet makes me feel incredibly satisfied."

"And... Jiang Hua, that arrogant attitude of hers, I've really... disliked her for a long time! So what if she's pretty?"

"What else does she have besides being pretty?"

"Isn't it destined that she'll only be able to rely on men for a living in this lifetime?"

Zhou Yan was probably really drunk, and she became increasingly incoherent in her speech. Pei Zhan stared at her with his dark, deep eyes.

"No...it should be that she can't live without a man!"

Zhou Yan was indeed very pleased. "The thought that the Jiang family will soon be suppressed into bankruptcy by the King Group and will eventually have to lay off employees makes me very happy."

“Three years…” Zhou Yan slurred, holding up a number to Pei Zhan. “Three years… I promise, I’ll make every single member of the Jiang family regret their decision to fire me. And… Jiang Hua… I’ll make her kneel and beg me to come back…”

Zhou Yan stood up, but suddenly lost her balance and fell. Pei Zhan caught her as she fell.

"Xiang Nan!"

"Don't...don't call him!" Zhou Yan managed to steady herself, but to keep her legs steady, she grabbed his hand. The moment she met his eyes, Zhou Yan suddenly felt an urge to cry again. "Do you know...how I feel?"

"I've liked you since I was little, for a long time!"

Pei Zhan stated a fact to her: "I'm already married, Ayan!"

Zhou Yan's mind seemed to have gone blank; words she would normally find difficult to say poured out into his mouth without any pretense.

“It’s okay, it’s okay… I know you don’t love her, you only married her to avenge Ah Xu, I understand, and I don’t care.”

"I can wait for you..."

"Brother Pei Zhan, I really wish I could turn myself into Ah Xu, so that you could like me!"

"Brother... let's not stay in the Jiang family anymore, okay? I'm capable now, I have money... I have lots and lots of money..."

"Can you please not take the Jiang family's money? I'll give you all my money, I'll start the company with you, I'll be there for you... to grow the company little by little..."

"We will be alright."

"Don't hang out with that Jiang Hua. I don't like seeing you protecting her!"

"Do you know how much I like you...?"
