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

Zhou Yan spoke in standard American English, and her secretary replied in the same language, "The Jiang family hasn't made any major moves yet, but we've heard that they're saving on human resources and preparing to lay off some employees, choosing to protect themselves."

Zhou Yan lowered her head confidently, stirring her coffee with a smile. "Go and have someone keep an eye out for anyone in Jiang's design department who gets fired. I'll give them an extra 30% of Jiang's salary."

The secretary replied, "Yes, Director Zhou."

With such a huge stock market turmoil, Jiang Hua... I don't believe you can sit still.

Once the Jiang family is gone, your world will collapse. I will want to see how you can turn the tide and hold on.

Then I'll see how arrogant you can still be.

Thinking back to the day Jiang Hua knelt down and begged for mercy in front of her, Zhou Yan felt that all the suffering she had endured alone abroad over the years had been worthwhile.

Jiang Group.

Pei Zhan was also aware of this news and immediately instructed the public relations department to handle it. No one expected that simply dismissing Zhou Yan would have such a huge chain reaction, now even affecting the stock market. If King Group hadn't been pushing things along behind the scenes, perhaps... it wouldn't have had such a big impact.

Zuo Xiangnan said, "President Pei, there are reporters downstairs demanding an explanation."

“Zhou Yan has considerable influence in the international jewelry and fashion industries. After many wealthy women learned of Zhou Yan’s stance, they, along with some family business groups in overseas markets, boycotted Jiang’s Group’s jewelry products. Even companies under Jiang’s control were affected.”

"If this is not addressed and its negative impact is not reduced, the situation will only worsen."

Pei Zhan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, extinguishing his cigarette after taking a few puffs. "Has the public relations department come up with a solution?"

Zuo Xiangnan hesitated, then said, "Yes...but...I think it would be difficult to implement."

Pei Zhan said, "Speak."

Zuo Xiangnan said, "The solution proposed by the public relations department is to have the Jiang Group hold a press conference and have Miss Jiang apologize to Director Zhou in front of all the reporters and media."

Pei Zhan gazed at the tall buildings and the scenery in the distance, "It is indeed difficult to implement. She will never know where she went wrong until the Jiang family is in trouble."

Just then, Zuo Xiangnan received a message. He was shocked and said, "President Pei, I don't know who did it, but all the negative news online has been taken down... The Blue official team even posted a notice to clarify things for Miss Jiang, saying that all the news published in the newspapers and online was false!"

The following sentence states that this matter is of great importance, and anyone who publishes false information will be investigated for spreading rumors.

"Who... who is it that has such great ability to mobilize the power above?"

Pei Zhan parted his thin lips slightly and uttered two words, "The Shen family!"

Teito University.

Shen Bao'er happily put away her phone, which was covered in diamond-studded phone cases, which sparkled and glittered. "Ugh, my brother is really something. I was just about to tell him, but he's already finished everything. So annoying!"

Just as Shen Bao'er was about to send a message to Shen Yebai, the official announcement popped up on the page as soon as she opened the chat box. She stomped her feet in anger, looking as if she was competing with Shen Yebai for his favor.

"I don't care, you told me about this first, my brother's knowledge doesn't count, you have to treat me to dinner tonight."

Jiang Hua was looking down at her phone, chatting with Wen Huaishi, planning to return the repaired bracelet to him at a later time.

Without looking up, she said, "Okay, how about tonight? Xiangweiju will treat us."

"By the way, invite your brother along too."

"No, you come with me this time, but next time you'll be with him alone. You know I'm most afraid of my brother." Shen Bao'er hugged Jiang Hua's arm and snuggled against her, acting coquettishly.

Jiang Hua put away her phone. She and Shen Bao'er used to be at odds, but ever since they reconciled, Bao'er has become increasingly clingy to her, practically a clingy person, sticking to her the moment they meet.

King Group.

Upon seeing the message, Zhou Yan flew into a rage, sweeping all the documents off the table. "Jiang Hua! How could I forget that you have Shen Yebai behind you?"

"But so what? If it's yours, I'll take it all back."

Including a heart that doesn't belong to you!

There's plenty of time ahead; let's take it one step at a time.

Zhou Yan then instructed her secretary, "Tell all the wives of wealthy and powerful families in the capital that as long as they stop ordering Jiang's Jewelry from now on, they can get a set of jewelry that I personally customized at the lowest price offered by King Group."

The secretary exclaimed, "That's great! The Jiang family doesn't deal in jewelry for ordinary customers. Now, we can steal all of the Jiang family's high-end customers!"

"With this, our branch in China, plus Director Zhou's influence in mainland China and overseas, I think... will definitely surpass our headquarters in France."

Just like in the TV series, Zhou Yan looks like an ordinary senior employee, but in fact, she is the core person who can support all departments of a company.

It was Jiang Hua's selfishness that led the Jiang family to this predicament.

Jiang Hua! You never know what kind of person you've offended.

Even if the negative influence of the Jiang family in the capital is eliminated, the stock only fluctuated slightly upwards, and there was no significant change in the overall situation.

After all, Zhou Yan's influence is related to the entire upper-class circle. Back then... did Pei Zhan send her abroad to study and develop her career in order to foresee this day?

Given the Jiang family's assets and status, they wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder for those large foreign corporations.

At present, we can only achieve a state of equilibrium.

It's only a matter of time before the Jiang family goes bankrupt.

"Next time, I have an appointment today."

"Who?"

“Wen Huaishi.” Jiang Hua did not hide anything. “He saved me when I had a heart attack. He took care of me in the hospital for a while. In return, I helped him repair his wife’s bracelet.”

"I made plans to have dinner with him tonight."

Shen Bao'er then remembered, "Could it be that doctor?"

"Alright then, this guy is annoying too."

Jiang Hua and Wen Huaishi's meal was at the same restaurant they had visited before.

Wen Huaishi said, "I never expected that Jiang would have such great abilities to restore my wife's belongings. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Jiang Hua rested her chin on the back of her hand, listlessly picking at the food in her bowl. Xiao Ayuan wasn't home today; she had gone to her grandmother's house.

"You're welcome. You took good care of me in the hospital too."

When Wen Huaishi smiled, it was like a gentle breeze; his tone was mild and his every move exuded a leisurely elegance.

Jiang Hua also follows in her mother's footsteps in jewelry restoration. Her mother was a renowned jewelry restorer in the capital city, and no matter how complex the jade or jewelry was, she could restore it to its original condition.

Jiang Hua was intelligent and quick-witted from a young age, and she could learn anything very quickly, showing great talent in this area.

When she was sixteen, she was repairing her aunt's broken jewelry necklaces. Because she stayed up too late, she suffered a heart attack and collapsed. It took more than ten minutes for her mother to find her. The doctor said that if she had arrived two minutes later, she would not have been saved.

When her father found out, he forbade her from touching it again.

This is the first time for Jiang Hua in four or five years.

Besides Xiao Ayuan, there was another reason why she was willing to help him…

Jiang Hua left before finishing her meal.

Wen Huaishi suddenly remembered the Jiang family, who wanted to hire him as their private family doctor. The Jiang family had a daughter who also had a hereditary heart condition, but he had refused. He then suddenly remembered that she also had the surname Jiang. "I wonder what the relationship is between you, Jiang, and the Jiang family of the Capital Jiang Jewelry Group?"
