Bo Jingyu stared at himself in the floor-length mirror, his face clouded with gloom.
"The person who chose the suit color really has no taste."
After saying that, he tied his tie and left the office for Qiuming Hotel.
A Kun was driving. He glanced at the rearview mirror.
"President Shen, are you sure you want to go?"
"Why not?" Shen Ximan replied with a faint smile. "It's rare for Juan Yi to invite us. It would be impolite not to go."
"But Second Young Master..."
The warmth on her face instantly faded. "I have nothing to do with him anymore. From the moment he left me at the hotel without a care, we were destined to become competitors."
After saying that, Shen Ximan let out a self-mocking sneer.
"Moreover, it was me who pushed Grandpa, which led to the current situation. He probably wishes he could kill me with a knife and tear me to pieces."
The angrier A Kun listened, the more indignant he became. "But this is not your fault at all!"
"Eldest Young Master was there at that time. If he hadn't tampered with the surveillance, you wouldn't have had to take all the blame and let them do whatever they wanted."
Shen Ximan had already come to terms with it.
"I'm used to it. Without a few setbacks, I wouldn't be who I am today."
"You're like Xiao Qi, a leading figure in A Hairui. I don't want you to bring this up again. It's meaningless. What we have to do is monopolize the entire Yancheng market and expand both domestically and internationally."
"Before that, I'm going to crush the Shen Corporation."
Although these words sounded light and powerless, A Kun, who was driving, could feel the goosebumps on his arms and the back of his neck.
President Shen was serious.
Her revenge plan had just begun.
Everyone who had looked down on and despised her before would pay the price.
At Qiuming Hotel.
"Shujing, it's time to get out of the car," Su Minghan said to the person beside him.
"I wasn't invited. Is it really okay?"
Xiao Shujing looked at him worriedly and hesitated to get out of the car.
He smiled gently. "Most of the company's employees were invited. As a popular actress, it's not appropriate for you not to attend."
Su Minghan could always resolve her doubts with just a few words.
Xiao Shujing placed her hand in his palm and got out of the car with a smile.
Coincidentally, Tian Danni also got out of the car behind them with a cold face.
"What a nuisance!"
Susan glared at the two in front and cursed in a low voice.
"Come on, don't cause any trouble," Tian Danni said.
She lifted her evening dress and walked over with a half-smile.
"I haven't had the chance to thank you yet," she said.
Su Minghan was taken aback. "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for buying me the plane ticket. The Bo Corporation had sold out all the tickets in advance. I thought I wouldn't be able to come back."
Tian Danni's words were full of innuendo, but it didn't stop her tone from being capricious.
"You'd better watch your mouth today. If you make a fool of yourself, no one can save you," he said with a relaxed smile.
Xiao Shujing watched them chatting back and forth. The feeling of being left out welled up in her heart again. Before she could even think, her body reacted first.
"President Su, I'm a bit cold," she whispered, tugging at his sleeve.
"Sorry. Let's go quickly. There's air conditioning inside."
Tian Danni watched them quickly enter the hotel and rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"How affected."
"What did you say?" Su Minghan turned around, his face darkening.
"I didn't say anything. I said I'm cold," she replied and then strode past them.
Susan quickly followed behind Tian Danni with her small bag.
"She's really out of control. She dares to say anything," Su Minghan murmured unhappily.
"She didn't mean it. It's okay," Xiao Shujing said, shaking her head innocently and forcing a smile.
"Ms. Tian! It's really an honor for me that you could come!"
Li Rui seized every opportunity to get in touch with the Su Entertainment Group. He trotted over with a big smile on his face.
"I'm just here because of President Su," Tian Danni said with a professional smile. Then she took a glass of wine and took her seat.
"Didn't someone just say not to cause any trouble?"
Susan stood beside her and teased with a smile.
"Did you see how she acted just now? All coy and weak. She was clearly doing it for my sake."
"I was so generous to give up the endorsement to her. All I got was an apology, and President Su still protects her everywhere. I really don't know what's so good about her."
Susan's smile grew wider. She leaned over and asked, "You have to be honest with me. Do you... like President Su?"
Tian Danni looked at her in disbelief. "How could that be? Such a ridiculous thing could never happen to me."
"Then why do you care so much? Why do you even care whether he protects her or not?"
Susan's words were straightforward and to the point.
"There were already rumors about President Su and Xiao Shujing before. There are still a lot of people on the Internet shipping them."
Tian Danni curled her lips disdainfully. "I'm just regretting giving up such a good opportunity to that coquettish woman. If I had known this, I would have fought tooth and nail for it."
Just then, two women walked towards them.
"Are you Tian Danni? Nice to meet you!"
Shen Shiyu greeted her enthusiastically and wanted to clink glasses with her.
"Who are you?"
"She's my daughter. I'm the wife of the Shen Corporation," Yang Wan replied impatiently, annoyed by Tian Danni's sitting still and just raising her glass.
"The Shen Corporation? The family of Second Young Master's ex-wife?"
Tian Danni rolled her eyes and remembered this matter.
"Yes, but we've already severed ties with her. Now I'm the only daughter of the Shen family. Could we... clink glasses?" Shen Shiyu asked with a fake smile.
Normally, Tian Danni would have scorned such a family that would push someone out when something happened. But this was an extraordinary engagement ceremony, and all the guests were well-known and influential. She always believed in acting appropriately according to the occasion.
Even if it was just for show, she had to do it gracefully.
She stood up and elegantly clinked glasses with Shen Shiyu.
"Nice to meet you too."
"This is my business card. Maybe we can cooperate in the future," Yang Wan said, quickly changing her attitude and expression. Then she pulled her daughter away.
In the blink of an eye, they were already trying to get in touch with Xiao Shujing and Su Minghan, smiling brightly.
"These people remind me of those nouveau riche," Susan said, looking at their backs.
"Nouveau riche?" Tian Danni was interested.
"Yes. There was a couple named Zhang. They became rich overnight after finding some ore while working in the fields. They even bought a building to do business. But later, I heard it was bought by the Bo Corporation."
"Now they're so poor that they have to beg under the overpass," Susan sighed.
"What happened?"
"They did some illegal business, and all their money was confiscated. But the good thing about the Shen family is that they can shamelessly get close to others. Those nouveau riche didn't even take others seriously."
