Chapter 741: Jason Robert

“Miss Gu, couldn’t you consider it for a while? It’s just a piece of cake for you!” Zuo Jiangkui understood that Gu Ning rejected his offer for a reason, but he still couldn’t figure it out.

“If I agree, Mr. Zuo, can you promise that my family and I will be safe and nobody will take revenge on us?” Gu Ning asked.

“Well…” Zuo Jiangkui was struck dumb for a second, and suddenly didn’t know how to answer that question, because he couldn’t promise that.

Benefits lived with risks. Since Gu Ning agreed to help He Siyin, she would bear the result of the deal herself. All He Siyin needed to do was to protect her when she was in HK. However, Gu Ning asked Zuo Jiangkui that question because she hoped that he could take full responsibility for the result and risk.

“If you can’t, why should I take the risk for an amount of money that I don’t lack?” Gu Ning said with pride. She didn’t lack five hundred million yuan.

This news upset Zuo Jiangkui. As an apprentice of the gambling magnate, he only had ten hundred million yuan in wealth himself. Therefore, if he were Gu Ning, he would accept the offer without hesitation. Unfortunately, he wasn’t.

Since Gu Ning wasn’t willing to help him, Zuo Jiangkui gave up, but he still took out his name card and gave it to Gu Ning. “Miss Gu, I still hope that you can consider it; this is my name card. If you change your mind before the 28th of March, please contact me. I promise that I’ll do my best to satisfy your needs.”

Although Gu Ning rejected his offer, there was no need to embarrass him, so she took his name card, but didn’t give him hers.

Zuo Jiangkui frowned, then said, “Miss Gu, if you don’t mind, could you please give me your name card? I admire your outstanding gambling skills very much, and I hope that we can gamble for fun in the future.”

Gu Ning was curious about what Zuo Jiangkui wanted to do, so she gave him her name card in the end.

He Siyin remained silent from the beginning to the end, like it had nothing to do with her.

After the meal, Gu Ning left.

At noon, a foreign man around 30 years old came to Charm store.

“Hi, is Miss Yu here?” he asked a saleswoman.

“Nice to meet you, sir. I’m sorry Miss Yu isn’t here right now. Do you need me to call her?” the saleswoman said politely.

No matter who came to meet Yu Zi, the staff would call and tell Yu Zi about it, because it could be business.

“Great, thanks!” he said.

Afterwards, the saleswoman called Yu Zi with the phone in the store.

“Miss Yu, there is a foreign man looking for you in the store,” the saleswoman said. After that, she gave the phone to the foreign man.

“Hi, Miss Yu, this is Jason Robert from Paris,” he said.

He was the famous clothing designer, Jason Robert, who had said that he wanted to accept Yu Zi as his apprentice on the Internet. He came here in person, which proved his sincerity.

“W-what?” Yu Zi was shocked, and couldn’t believe her ears. “A-are you Jason Robert, the famous clothing designer from Paris?”

Yu Zi had heard a lot about Jason Robert, and she was a fan of his. Yu Zi worked as a clothing designer, and focused on gowns, so she paid a lot of attention to those famous designers who were involved in the same field. Jason was her idol!

“Yes, it’s me,” Jason said. Even though she heard the answer from his mouth, Yu Zi still couldn’t believe that it was true. She hadn’t seen the comments Jason had left on the Internet, so she didn’t know why Jason visited her all of a sudden.

“Um, Mr. Robert, may I know why you are suddenly visiting me?” Yu Zi asked with excitement and nervousness.

“If you don’t mind, we can talk about it face to face,” Jason said.

“Of course not. I’ll be right there. Please wait for a while,” Yu Zi said. Although Yu Zi was excited to hear from Jason, she stayed alert before she was sure that the man was really Jason. If the man was really Jason, she would invite him to dine together at a fine restaurant.

She was very familiar with Jason’s appearance, because she had read many pieces of news about him, so she was confident that she could recognize him at first glance.

“Sure,” Jason said.

Before Yu Zi arrived, Jason walked around and observed the gowns in the store.

Jason appreciated Yu Zi’s designs, but it didn’t mean that her designs were perfect. In Jason’s eyes, there were many things she could do to improve them. As a clothing designer, Yu Zi was very talented, which was why Jason wanted to meet her, and help her to be an outstanding designer.

It wasn’t easy for a famous designer to choose potential apprentices. An excellent apprentice would be the pride of his master, while a terrible one would damage his master’s reputation.

Jason only had two apprentices till now, and both of them became famous clothing designers. In addition, Jason wouldn’t charge a cent for his lessons, because Jason loved clothing design and art more than anything else, and he didn’t lack money either.

Chapter 742: A Talented Designer

Yu Zi drove back to her store in a hurry the moment she hung up the call with Jason.

Within 20 minutes, she arrived. When she saw Jason, she was sure that she met the right person, and got excited at once.

“It’s so nice to meet you, Mr. Robert! I feel so honored that you came here to see me in person,” Yu Zi said to Jason with great respect. Yu Zi never imagined that she would meet her idol in real life!

“Nice to meet you too, Miss Yu!” Jason stood up and shook hands with Yu Zi. He was very kind to her.

Jason was also excited to see Yu Zi, because it wasn’t easy for him to find a talented young designer. However, it still took time to see whether Yu Zi was qualified to be his apprentice. He would also listen to Yu Zi’s opinions. If she wasn’t willing to be his apprentice, he wouldn’t force her to be.

“Please have a seat, Mr. Robert,” Yu Zi said. “Would you mind telling me the reason why you are visiting me today?”

“Well, I stayed in City B for a couple of days, and I watched the release conference of Charm by accident a few days ago. Your designs impressed me, so I hoped that I could meet you in person,” Jason said. He didn’t bother to hide his appreciation for Yu Zi.

Hearing that, Yu Zi was thrilled. “Thank you so much for your approval, Mr. Robert!”

It was very important for Yu Zi to be able to win a famous or experienced clothing designer’s approval, especially from her idol.

She also felt happy if other people who weren’t involved in the clothing design field thought her designs were attractive, but she would be more confident if a famous clothing designer had positive comments about her designs.

“Miss Yu, are you free now? If you don’t mind, I would love to hear your ideas behind your designs,” Jason asked.

“Sure, I’m always looking forward to hearing your opinions, Mr. Robert,” Yu Zi said.

After that, Yu Zi had a long talk with Jason about her ideas behind her designs.

Hearing Yu Zi’s ideas, Jason repeatedly nodded and expressed his approval. During the talk, he also shared his opinion with Yu Zi and Yu Zi learned a lot from him.

After the long talk, Jason was more certain that Yu Zi was a talented promising designer. In fact, there were many talented people in this world, but many of them lacked a good opportunity to show their talent. Since Jason discovered Yu Zi, he decided to do something.

In the end, Jason said, “Miss Yu, there is a clothing industry forum at 2 pm tomorrow in the meeting room of Huangdeng Hotel. If you have some time, you can attend it.”

“Really? I do hope that I can join in.” Yu Zi was very excited to hear the news.

The attendees of the forum were all famous or experienced clothing designers in the industry, and it wasn’t open to everyone.

Jason took out his name card and gave it to Yu Zi. “You can contact me tomorrow, and I can bring you inside.”

Nobody would stop her if she was able to attend the forum along with Jason.

“Thank you so much!” Yu Zi exchanged name cards with Jason. After that, Jason left.

“Miss Yu, who is Mr. Robert? You seem so excited,” a saleswoman asked Yu Zi with curiosity. Even the customers standing around them looked at her for the answer.

Yu Zi smiled and said, “He’s a very important figure in the clothing design field, and came from Paris.”

“A clothing designer from Paris?”

Hearing that, they were all surprised, but they knew little about clothing design, so they still couldn’t understand Jason’s influence and position in the industry.

“Well, you can search his name on the Internet if you want to know more about him,” Yu Zi said.

Another saleswoman immediately searched Jason’s name with a computer, and many people surrounded her at once. When they saw Jason’s designs and awards, they were all astonished.

To their astonishment, a wedding gown designed by Jason could be sold at the price of over ten million yuan!

“Jesus! Miss Yu, you’re so awesome, and you know such an important figure!”

“Indeed!”

Two saleswomen got excited, and felt honored that they could work for Yu Zi.

All of a sudden, the customers in the store thought much more highly of Charm now.

Yu Zi didn’t stay in the store for too long, because she needed to deal with the rest of the things in the factory. Charm had received many orders these days, and many people demanded gowns made by her.

Although she had enough time to do it, she still wanted to make full use of her time and do her job well.

When Yu Zi went back in her car, she called Gu Ning and told her about what had just happened.

Gu Ning could feel Yu Zi’s happiness and excitement through the phone, and she congratulated her. In addition, it also proved Gu Ning’s good taste in choosing skilled people.

Zhao Xiaoxuan stayed at home the entire time recently. She wasn’t as sad as she had been during the past few days, but she was still very upset. After all, she had loved Lin Tianyou deeply before.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxuan suddenly read the shocking news that Lin Tianyou had used a knife to threaten Yu Zi, on her phone.

She knew Lin Tianyou very well, but she was still shocked that Lin Tianyou would break the law. Thinking of what Lin Tianyou had done, Zhao Xiaoxuan felt scared. She didn’t feel relieved until she found out that Yu Zi was fine now.

Zhao Xiaoxuan had reflected a lot on what she had been through, and became more sober now. She also felt guilty that she had stolen Lin Tianyou away from Yu Zi. However, no matter how guilty she felt right now, she couldn’t change what had already happened.

Chapter 743: Investigation on the Mu Family.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxuan staring at her phone, Mrs. Zhao was worried. She walked over and read the news on the screen, then was shocked too. “How could he do that? He is seriously digging his own grave!”

Without a doubt, Lin Tianyou would be put in jail for several years.

Mrs. Zhao was very mad at Lin Tianyou because he had dumped Zhao Xiaoxuan. So seeing that Lin Tianyou was about to be put in jail, she couldn’t help but gloat over his tragic life.

Gu Ning didn’t go back to the Tang family’s house after walking out of Kirin Hotel, but went to the antique street.

Gu Ning had many real antiques with her, but she couldn’t put all of them in Xiangyun Antique-store, because it might cause them trouble if there were too many real antiques in the store. She couldn’t keep them in her telepathic eye space all the time either, because they would be wasted if she did that. Therefore, Gu Ning planned to open another antique store in City B.

She was free now anyway, so she visited the antique street.

Once she arrived, she used her Jade Eyes to scan around the objects on the stands by the sides of the road. Gu Ning walked down half of the street, but still failed to find any real antiques. Instead, she ran into a familiar face. In fact, she wasn’t very familiar with him, and they had just met once before.

The man was Mu Wengi, and he walked into a tea house.

Thinking of K’s reaction when she mentioned Mu Xuxin last time, Gu Ning understood that their relationship wasn’t good. She also thought that K might be Mu Xuxin’s love child. However, Mu Wenqi seemed younger thank K, so she thought that K’s mother could be Mu Xuxin’s ex-wife. K’s surname was Mu after all, so it was very likely that his mother had been married to Mu Xuxin before.

No matter what, she was sure that Mu Xuxin and K were father and son.

Since K was related to them, Gu Ning paid special attention to the Mu family. She used her Jade Eyes and followed Mu Wenqi inside.

Mu Wenqi didn’t go upstairs, but stepped into the backyard. The backyard was a small, empty siheyuan.

Mu Wenqi walked straight towards a room and knocked on its door before he entered it. There was a man sitting in the room, and Gu Ning was surprised to see his face. The man turned out to be Tang Deming.

One was scheming against the Tang family, while the other maintained a good relationship with the Tang family. If they gathered together, they must be cooperating with each other.

Gu Ning went upstairs to the second floor, and sat by the widow, from which she was able to see the small siheyuan.

After ordering a cup of tea, Gu Ning took out a wireless pinhole camera and pointed it at the room. Unfortunately, there was a long distance between them, and they deliberately talked in a low voice, so Gu Ning couldn’t hear their conversation clearly.

Around 10 minutes later, Mu Wengi walked outside.

Tang Deming didn’t show up until Mu Wenqi was gone for 20 minutes, and he left as well.

Gu Ning put away the wireless pinhole camera, then sent K a message and told him to investigate Mu Wenqi. Since Mu Wenqi had a secret meeting with Tang Deming, she was suspicious that the Mu family was also involved in Tang Deming’s scheme.

Gu Ning actually wasn’t sure whether K would help her this time as usual because of his connection with the Mu family. If K was willing to do so, it would be much better, but she wouldn’t force him to help her if he was reluctant to do it, because Mu Xuxin was his father after all.

Gu Ning believed that it had to be Mu Xuxin’s intention to cooperate with Tang Deming, and Mu Wengi just followed his father’s order.

In that case, Gu Ning also said at the end of the message that K could reject it if he was unwilling to do so.

When K received Gu Ning’s message, he was discussing something with Chen Cangyi. He just developed a new game, and thought that it might be successful. He planned to propose it to Gu Ning after sharing the idea with Chen Cangyi.

Although he knew that there was a large group of teenagers who loved playing games, there were more updating games on the market as well, so they had to be very creative to attract teenagers’ attention.

K asked for Chen Cangyi’s opinion on whether this game could be popular among game lovers.

K was very good at playing games himself, so the game he developed on his own was, of course, at least as good as those games he had played.

Gu Ning’s message came into his phone right as he was about to contact her.

After reading the message, the smile disappeared from K’s face at once.

He, of course, knew Mu Wenqi.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Cangyi asked with concern.

“Boss wants me to investigate Mu Wenqi. She said that she ran into Mu Wengi while he was in a secret meeting with Tang Deming, so she suspects that the Mu family is involved in the scheme against the Tang family as well,” K said. When he said Mu Wenqi’s name, his voice was full of hatred.

Mu Wenqi, or the Mu family to be specific, was his enemy for life.

Hearing that, Chen Cangyi frowned, then sneered, “It seems that it’s unavoidable that you’ll meet the Mu family.”

Chen Cangyi was happy to see that, because K wouldn’t get over it if he didn’t get revenge on the Mu family.

“They asked for it themselves,” K said in a cold tone. He had limited himself to not investigate the Mu family because of his promise to his mother. He was afraid that he would expose the Mu family’s dirty secrets once he found any.

A while later, K sent a message back to Gu Ning and agreed to investigate the Mu family.

Seeing K’s reply, Gu Ning understood that K didn’t care about the Mu family at all.

She left the tea house afterwards, then kept on walking down the antique street for fun.

Before long, Gu Ning found an antique store which was under transfer.

She walked into it, and it was around 40 square-meters large, which wasn’t small.

This store had two floors. The upper floor was a lounge, while the first floor was open to customers. It was well-decorated, but there were only a few handicrafts inside.

Besides, Gu Ning didn’t see any other people in the store in addition to a salesman.

It seemed that this store could barely stay afloat now.

Chapter 744: Du Laifeng

“Hi, welcome.”

The salesman was a young man around 20 years old. He was sleepy, resting his upper body on the counter, and didn’t show any enthusiasm at seeing a customer walking inside. Because there were no good objects placed in the store, he was used to the fact that people might look around for a while before they left.

Gu Ning didn’t feel displeased, but slowly walked around the store; she was quite satisfied with its location and space.

“Why aren’t there any new objects in this store?” Gu Ning asked.

“Didn’t you see the transfer notice posted outside? This store is about to be transferred. It’s a waste of money if we keep on purchasing new objects,” the young man said with impatience.

Gu Ning didn’t mind his unkind attitude and asked, “Where is your boss?”

“What for?” he asked. Gu Ning was very young, so he didn’t think that she came here to acquire this store.

“Isn’t this store about to be transferred? I want to rent it, so I need to talk with your boss,” Gu Ning said with a smile.

“What?” Hearing that, the young man’s eyes lit up at once, and abruptly stood up to look at Gu Ning.

Seeing Gu Ning’s face, he thought that she looked a little familiar, but failed to recognize who she was.

“Did you just say that you want to rent this store?” he asked with doubt.

“Yeah,” Gu Ning said.

“Are you sure you’re not kidding?” He still didn’t believe it.

Gu Ning understood that he didn’t believe her words. “I’m very satisfied with the location and space of this store. If the price is reasonable, I think that I’ll rent it.”

“Well, I am the owner of this store,” the young man said, and walked out from behind the counter. His attitude towards Gu Ning changed completely as well, and he greeted her with great enthusiasm, “Please have a seat, miss.”

Gu Ning sat down, and felt slightly surprised that this young man was actually the owner of this store.

He poured a cup of tea for Gu Ning, and placed it on the table in front of her.

“Miss, nice to meet you. I’m the owner of this store, Du Laifeng. May I know your name?” he asked.

“My surname is Gu,” Gu Ning said.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Gu! Would you mind telling me what kind of business you’re going to do with this store?” Du Laifeng asked.

“The same as you,” Gu Ning said. “I wonder why your store can barely stay afloat now?”

Hearing that, Du Laifeng seemed angry and sad. “It’s not a secret on this street, so I don’t mind telling you. My father opened two stores, and both of them were very profitable. However, my father was very sick in the first half of last year, so he gave the two stores to me and my younger half-brother. My step-mother and my younger half-brother wanted to occupy both of the stores, but one of them was already under my name, so they could do nothing about it because I disagreed.”

“In that case, they turned to a bunch of hoodlums for help and caused me a lot of trouble. I’ve been losing customers and providers since then. What’s worse, nobody dares to buy my store because of my step-mother and younger half-brother.”

To Gu Ning’s surprise, there was a big story behind it.

“How much do you know about antiques?” Gu Ning asked.

“A lot, because I grew up with them,” Du Laifeng said.

“What do you plan to do next if I take over this store?” Gu Ning asked.

“Find a job to feed myself. I think that I can still live a good life with my pay and rent,” Du Laifeng said.

“Can you help me manage this store after I rent it? I can pay you a high salary along with 10% dividend every year,” Gu Ning said.

Du Laifeng was struck dumb for a second. It sounded too good to be true!

“Miss Gu, I’m afraid that it’ll cause you trouble if I keep on working here, because my step-mother and younger half-brother won’t allow me to stay here,” he said. Du Laifeng was a good, upright man.

“Don’t worry. They can’t cause me any trouble,” Gu Ning said with confidence.

“Really?” Du Laifeng was still worried.

“Well, let me prove it to you. Give me your phone,” Gu Ning said, and reached out her hand to Du Laifeng.

Du Laifeng didn’t understand why Gu Ning needed his phone, but he followed her order.

“Unlock it,” Gu Ning said.

Du Laifeng unlocked his phone and gave it to Gu Ning

Gu Ning then searched her name on the Internet and opened the first web link about her. It consisted of all the news and information on her.

“Read it before you make a decision,” she said and gave the phone back to Du Laifeng.

Du Laifeng took it, then began to read it. After reading the news, he was shocked. He had read the news before, and this girl in front of his face… All of a sudden, Du Laifeng stared at Gu Ning, and realized why he thought this young girl looked familiar. He had seen her face before!

The moment Du Laifeng realized that he met his idol, he got excited and said, “You, are you Goddess Gu? You’re Goddess Gu, right?”

Gu Ning was surprised that Du Laifeng had read news about her, but didn’t recognize her when she walked into the store just then.

Chapter 745: A Woman’s Warning

“Do you believe me now?” Gu Ning asked while looking at him.

“Of course! They are merely nobodies before you. I think they’ll run away when they hear your name!” Du Laifeng said.

Gu Ning had gained a lot of fame, so many people were aware of how powerful she was.

For now, Du Laifeng just felt so honored and lucky to meet Gu Ning, who would change his life.

“How much is the rent?” Gu Ning asked.

“Well…” Du Laifeng thought for a while. He couldn’t charge too much, because Gu Ning had already done him a great favor.

Gu Ning understood what was on his mind, so she opened her mouth again before Du Laifeng could say something. “Just tell me the number. I hate to be cheated, but I also dislike taking advantage of other people.”

Since Gu Ning said so, he offered her the most suitable price. After that, they signed a lease for five years. In addition to that, they also signed a labor contract. Du Laifeng would own 10% shares of the branch of Xiangyun Antique-store in City B, and his monthly pay was ten thousand yuan along with 1% commission.

If he was able to sell a real antique whose price was a million yuan, he would get ten thousand yuan as commission.

Of course, he might not sell a single real antique within several months, or might sell several real antiques which were worth over ten million yuan within several days. It all depended on the sales.

All in all, it was still a very generous offer in Du Laifeng’s eyes, because he also could have 10% shares of the branch of Xiangyun Antique-store in City B! The more real antiques he could sell, the more money he could make.

Apart from that, Gu Ning would also advertise Xiangyun Antique-store once she had a chance to help it to gain more attention.

It was hard to find real antiques nowadays. As long as there were real antiques placed in Xiangyun Antique-store, people would come to buy them once it became famous.

Du Laifeng didn’t think that far, because he was already stunned by the name of Xiangyun Antique-store.

He had been involved in the antique industry for years, so he paid a lot of attention to the latest news about it. Although Xiangyun Antique-store was located in the capital, antique lovers in City B had already heard of its good reputation.

Du Laifeng heard that Xiangyun Antique-store was sold at auction a while ago, and its new boss ran it very well. He also noticed that the branch of Xiangyun Antique-store in City B was written on the contract. All of a sudden, an idea dawned on him.

“Goddess Gu, a-are you the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store?” Du Laifeng rounded his eyes in shock.

“Yes,” Gu Ning said with a calm face. “I have many real antiques with me, but I can’t put all of them in Xiangyun Antique-store in the capital, so I plan to open a branch in City B to place them in.”

Gu Ning said it calmly, but Du Laifeng was astonished. It was difficult for a normal antique store to have several real antiques, because real antiques were really expensive. Xiangyun Antique-store, however, showed dozens of real antiques in the store, which shocked all the antique lovers in the capital.

Goddess Gu was unusually rich!

After signing the contracts, Gu Ning said, “Please clean your store up these days, and register all the handicrafts in the store properly. They are yours, and I won’t take them.”

Hearing that, Du Laifeng was surprised, because he planned to give them to Gu Ning, but Gu Ning was very generous and she wouldn’t take them.

Gu Ning added afterwards, “I’ll send you a picture of the sign of Xiangyun Antique-store later, and you can make a similar one with ‘City B Branch’ on it.”

“Sure, boss,” Du Laifeng said.

Du Laifeng changed the way he addressed Gu Ning after signing the contracts, which showed that their relationship was different now.

After that, Gu Ning transferred the annual rent to Du Laifeng.

Since he had shares of the branch, there was no need to charge a deposit.

Once Gu Ning left the antique street, she noticed that someone was following her.

“Miss, please wait a second,” a woman around 40 stopped her.

“May I help?” Gu Ning asked.

“Miss, I just saw you sign the contract with Du Laifeng in his antique store. I think you better not rent his store, or you’ll be in trouble,” the woman said, like she was doing Gu Ning a favor.

Gu Ning, however, didn’t believe that she was so kind, and thought that she might be Du Laifeng’s step-mother who was trying to stop others from renting Du Laifeng’s store.

Even so, Gu Ning still asked, “Why?”

The woman glanced around before she approached Gu Ning and said in a low voice, “Du Laifeng has annoyed a gang. No matter who rents his store, a bunch of hoodlums will come to cause the person trouble!” Saying that, the woman seemed scared.

Ordinary people were all scared of gangs. The woman believed that Gu Ning, who was merely a young girl, would be terrified too after hearing that, but Gu Ning stayed calm as usual, which confused her.

In order to frighten Gu Ning, the woman added, “You’re so beautiful and young. If those hoodlums find out that you dared to act against them, they will do anything to ruin you!”

Chapter 746: The Relationship Between the Tang Family and the Mu Family

Gu Ning was amused, but didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she acted in concert with the woman and seemed scared. “Really? I think you’re right; I can’t rent the store. I haven’t given him money yet after all.”

Hearing that, the woman was satisfied. “Good girl! I don’t want to see you, a lovely girl, ruined by those hoodlums, so you better stay away from Du Laifeng. He doesn’t care about others’ lives!”

After that, Gu Ning thanked her and left.

When Gu Ning was waiting for a taxi, she called Chen Darong and told him to deliver a batch of real antiques along with handicrafts to City B.

Handicrafts produced by Xiangyun Antique-store were very beautiful because Xiangyun Antique-store had its own production room. It wasn’t big, but it could provide enough goods for Xiangyun Antique-store.

However, Gu Ning decided to expand the production room of Xiangyun Antique-store, and she assigned this task to Chen Darong. They would sell handicrafts produced by Xiangyun Antique-store around the country.

Xiangyun Antique-store was highly profitable anyway, so they had enough money to achieve that goal.

In fact, Chen Darong also had the same idea for a long time, but didn’t have a good chance, Since Gu Ning told him to be in charge of it now, he would, of course, work hard to make it happen.

Gu Ning also told him to guarantee high quality while increasing quantity, because the handicrafts weren’t cheap either.

After a while, Gu Ning successfully stopped a taxi, and got in it at once. She didn’t leave for the Tang family’s house, but went to visit Tang Haifeng in the hospital. She decided to talk with him about the Mu family.

After finishing gambling with Qi Tianlin, Zuo Jiangkui and He Siyin went back to HK.

Their plan was to take back 2% of Qi Tianlin’s shares of the He family’s casino according to the market price if Qi Tianlin lost the game.

The He family’s casino accounted for 6% of the gambling market in HK.

Qi Tianlin alone owned 5% shares of the He family’s casino, which were worth hundreds of millions of yuan according to the market price.

It was impossible for them to take all of his shares back, because Qi Tianlin wouldn’t agree, unless they used force. And the He family wasn’t willing to ruin their relationship with the Kirin Gang yet.

To their surprise, Gu Ning showed up out of the blue and they even lost 1% share during this trip, so now Qi Tianlin owned 6% shares of the He family’s casino. It didn’t have a big impact on the He family’s business, but they were just reluctant to accept the failure.

In the hospital ward, Jiang Lihua was chatting with Tang Haifeng, and two bodyguards were standing at the door.

When Gu Ning arrived, Jiang Lihua went to sit in the living room, because Gu Ning wanted to talk with Tang Haifeng in private.

“Grandpa, how’s the relationship with the Tang family and the Mu family?” Gu Ning asked.

Hearing that, Tang Haifeng cocked his eyebrow. “Well, not very good, nor bad. We’ve maintained a good relationship in business for more than a decade.” In other words, the two families weren’t close except in business.

“What? Is there anything wrong with the Mu family?” Tang Haifeng asked.

“I went to the antique street today, and ran into Mu Wenqi while he was in a secret meeting with Tang Deming, but I failed to hear their conversation clearly,” Gu Ning said with a serious face.

Hearing that, Tang Haifeng was mad. Mu Wenqi must be assisting Tang Deming to scheme against the Tang family!

“Grandpa, could you please tell me the story about the Mu family, especially Mu Xuxin?” Gu Ning asked.

Tang Haifeng didn’t know why Gu Ning was interested in Mu Xuxin, but he still said, “Mu Xuxin was born in a poor countryside, but he was a very outstanding young man back then, and won Miss Zhu’s heart. The Zhu family didn’t approve of their marriage at the beginning, because there was a huge gap between them, but Miss Zhu was unwilling to leave Mu Xuxin. After a while, she got pregnant, and the Zhu family had to agree on their marriage. Twenty years ago, the Zhu family wasn’t very rich, but its business grew fast with Mu Xuxin’s assistance. Therefore, the Zhu family gradually accepted him and even let him take over its family business.”

“Around seven or eight years ago, Miss Zhu suddenly found out that Mu Xuxin already had a son before their marriage, and had a fierce argument with him. Many people then found out about that secret, but Miss Zhu was still in love with Mu Xuxin and didn’t divorce him. That’s all I know.”

After hearing that, Gu Ning thought that it was very likely that Mu Xuxin had abandoned his ex-wife for a rich heiress.

“Well, there is a subordinate in my company who closely resembles Mu Xuxin, and they even share the same surname. When I mentioned Mu Xuxin’s name in a talk with him, he had an unusual reaction. I think they are probably related to each other,” Gu Ning said.

“Is it possible that he is the son of Mu Xuxin and his ex-wife?” Tang Haifeng said.

“I already told him to investigate the Mu family,” Gu Ning said.

Tang Haifeng was struck dumb for a second, then said, “Mu Xuxin could be his father!”

“I have always had a feeling that he hates Mu Xuxin,” Gu Ning said.

“No matter what, I just hope that you can be alert to the possibility that the Mu family might be working with Tang Deming. If the person who works for me is going to take revenge on the Mu family, I won’t stop him.” Gu Ning put it clearly.

The Tang family had a long-standing relationship with the Mu family in business after all, so the Tang family would help the Mu family if the Mu family encountered any trouble. Gu Ning told Tang Haifeng her attitude right now, in case Tang Haifeng couldn’t distinguish their allies from enemies.

“I understand, and I’ll side with you,” Tang Haifeng said.

Even if the Mu family were in trouble, it wasn’t the Tang family’s duty to help them out. Gu Ning, however, was a member of the Tang family. Tang Haifeng would obviously choose Gu Ning over the Mu family.

Since Gu Ning had already arranged someone to do the investigation, Tang Haifeng would just wait for the result.

Chapter 747: Tang Xinrui Is Fired

Tang Xinrui had just worked in Tanghuang Group for a short time, but she was already promoted to be in charge of some financial charts because of her outstanding ability. However, she was in trouble now. Tang Xinrui had typed an important figure wrong, and made the company lose two million yuan. Therefore, Tanghuang Group decided to fire her.

When Tang Xinrui heard the news, she was shocked, because she remembered that she had typed it correctly. However, she was in charge of the financial chart now, so she had to take responsibility for the serious mistake. Even so, she still couldn’t figure out the reason why it happened.

However, nobody in the finance department felt sorry for her, because her quick promotion had displeased everyone for a long time. The finance manager, Yu Li, was included.

Yu Li was around 30 years old, and she was also a skilled finance worker since she could become a finance manager at such a young age. Moreover, she had the ambition to be the chief financial officer, so she didn’t get along well with the current CFO.

Ever since Tang Xinrui had joined Tanghuang Group, the current CFO treated her very well, and Tang Xinrui had stolen her assignments many times, which annoyed Yu Li and aroused her sense of crisis at the same time.

Yu Li was afraid that the current CFO would promote Tang Xinrui to replace her position. After all, it was an undeniable fact that Tang Xinrui was a very outstanding finance returnee.

Although Tang Xinrui just graduated from her university, she already had rich experience in finance as an intern. It was very likely that Tang Xinrui would replace her in the company.

Since Tang Xinrui was fired because of a serious mistake, she was more than happy to see it happen, and quickly stood out to laugh at Tang Xinrui.

“Didn’t the CFO always say that you’re better than the rest of us? How come you made such a serious mistake? I think you really disappointed him!” Yu Li gloated over Tang Xinrui’s failure.

Tang Xinrui squinted at Yu Li, and thought that it might be Yu Li who framed her. Yu Li had stacked the deck against her many times before!

“I remember clearly that I didn’t type it wrong, and now I seriously wonder whether you’ve framed me, because everyone knows how much you love to arrange things against me in the finance department,” Tang Xinrui said, staring straight at Yu Li.

Hearing that, all the people in the finance room looked at Yu Li. It was true that they all knew that Yu Li disliked Tang Xinrui the most.

Although they were all jealous of Tang Xinrui, and none of them felt sorry for her when she was fired, they didn’t have the idea to frame her either. In that case, they were all surprised when they heard that it was possible that Yu Li had framed Tang Xinrui.

“Tang Xinrui, don’t blame me for your own mistake! I did not frame you!” Yu Li argued in a hurry, but Tang Xinrui was growing increasingly suspicious of her. Nevertheless, Tang Xinrui didn’t have any proof, and she had already been fired.

Precisely because of Yu Li, Tang Xinrui had no clue that the senior management of the company had found out her real identity and seized a chance to get rid of her. Actually, it was Quan Mingkai’s idea.

If they fired Tang Xinrui without a reasonable reason, Tang Xinrui would know that her real identity was exposed, and the mastermind behind the scheme would soon be aware of it, which would ruin their plan.

Yu Li panicked a little because she had the same idea, but Tang Xinrui was fired before she could take action.

After that, Tang Xinrui left Tanghuang Group and went back home.

When she went upstairs to the study to tell Tang Weiyong the bad news, she heard a woman’s moans of sexual pleasure from the direction of Tang Weiyong’s room. Tang Xinrui stopped at once, then went back to watch TV in the living room.

Tang Xinrui’s mother had passed away a few years ago, so it was normal that Tang Weiyong had other women. He was a man after all, and had sexual needs even though he was older.

About half an hour later, the woman who had sex with Tang Weiyong showed up. She was in her early thirties, beautiful and sexy, but had the air of a prostitute.

She wasn’t a lady, but a leading hooker in a clubhouse, and she had had sex with countless men for money. Tang Weiyong didn’t mind because he just wanted to have sex. Most importantly, he was familiar with her.

To avoid meeting the Tang family, Tang Weiyong seldom went outside, so he had sex with this woman at home every time.

Tang Weiyong had done her a great favor back in Country Y, so she followed Tang Weiyong ever since, and worked for him.

When the woman saw Tang Xinrui, she was surprised and smiled. “Xinrui, why are you home? It’s still work time, right?”

“I’ve been fired,” Tang Xinrui said calmly.

“What? You were fired?” That question wasn’t from the woman, but Tang Weiyong who was standing at the landing.

Tang Xinrui then told Tang Weiyong everything. Because she believed that it was Yu Li’s trick, she directly told Tang Weiyong that Yu Li had framed her.

Hearing that, Tang Weiyong didn’t doubt it, and he also had no clue that it was actually Quan Mingkai’s idea to fire Tang Xinrui at this time.

“Father, what should we do now?” Tang Xinrui asked.

“Just live with it. Let’s see what the others can do now.” Tang Weiyong didn’t blame Tang Xinrui, because it was meaningless.

Right at this moment, Tang Xinjie called Tang Xinrui.

“Um, father, Xinjie is calling me again.” Tang Xinrui didn’t answer it at once, but told Tang Weiyong. It seemed like she didn’t know whether to take it or not.

Tang Weiyong frowned and was displeased because he knew that Tang Xinjie called for nothing good.

“Answer it, and put it on speaker,” Tang Weiyong said in a cold tone.

Tang Xinrui followed his order.

“Tang Xinrui, transfer a million yuan to my account right away. I’m not lucky today and I lost again.” The moment Tang Xinrui took his call, Tang Xinjie said in a domineering tone.

Hearing that, Tang Xinrui stayed calm as usual, but Tang Weiyong was in a rage.

Chapter 748: Qi Ziyue Recognizes Gu Ning

“I don’t have money,” Tang Xinrui said.

“Ask father for it!” Tang Xinjie demanded.

Tang Xinrui sneered. Her father was never even willing to give her ten thousand yuan, let alone a million yuan.

She gave Tang Weiyong a glance, then said again, “I told you that it was the final time that I gave you money last time, and I won’t ask father for money again this time. If you want the money, call him yourself.”

“You…” Tang Xinjie was mad. If he dared to ask Tang Weiyong for the money, he wouldn’t call Tang Xinrui for it. “If you don’t transfer a million yuan to my bank account right now, father will blame you if I’m beaten to death by them.”

Tang Xinrui remained silent, but just looked at Tang Weiyong. Tang Weiyong said in anger, “I don’t think that it’s a bad thing if you’re dead! You’ll lose the last cent of our family’s wealth sooner or later.”

Hearing Tang Weiyong’s voice, Tang Xinjie was scared, but he still begged, “Dad, transfer a million yuan to my account now, or they’ll beat me to death, seriously.”

Tang Xinjie didn’t believe that Tang Weiyong would be willing to see him beaten to death, because he knew his father very well. No matter how outstanding Tang Xinrui was, he, as his father’s only son, was meant to take over their family’s properties.

Let alone Tang Xinjie, even Tang Xinrui had the same idea.

“You…” Tang Weiyong was mad, but he couldn’t see his only son beaten badly by others. “Tang Xinjie, this is the last time I’ll give you money. If you keep on gambling, wasting money and visiting prostitutes, I’ll put you in jail!” Tang Weiyong threatened Tang Xinjie.

Tang Xinjie, however, pulled his lips and gave his father a perfunctory answer. “Alright, I promise I won’t gamble again.”

Tang Weiyong didn’t believe that Tang Xinjie would keep his word, but there was nothing else he could do. Without hesitation, Tang Weiyong hung up on Tang Xinjie, and transferred the money to Tang Xinrui, then went back upstairs.

The woman gave Tang Xinrui a glance filled with sympathy, and wore a sensual smile. “Why don’t you meet me at my clubhouse tonight? I can help you relax a little.”

Although she was kept by Tang Weiyong as a mistress, she also disapproved of his unfair treatment towards Tang Xinjie and Tang Xinrui. She had no right to interfere in it, but she was willing to do something to cheer Tang Xinrui up.

“Thanks,” Tang Xinrui said. She also wanted to relax herself.

When the woman walked away, Tang Xinrui went back to her room. Before long, her phone rang again, and the caller was Bowen.

“Oh my dear Erin, your father really spoils his trash son rotten!” Bowen said.

Bowen had never felt sorry for anyone else before, but what Tang Xinrui had been through really touched him. Maybe that was the reason why he liked her.

“I know.” Tang Xinrui was calm, because she was used to it. “How is the trash now?”

“He’s digging his own grave.” Bowen beamed.

It was Tang Xinrui’s scheme again this time to make Tang Xinjie lose another million yuan.

“Erin, why don’t you just get rid of him so that you don’t need to waste time on him?” Bowen asked with confusion.

“He’s my older brother after all,” Tang Xinrui said. Although she hated Tang Xinjie and Tang Weiyong, she never had the thought to kill them.

“Fine.” Since Tang Xinrui said that, Bowen didn’t say anything further.

Gu Ning stayed in the hospital for more than half an hour, then left. However, she ran into Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue in the passage, and was struck dumb for a second. She didn’t expect that she would meet them in City B.

Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin didn’t notice Gu Ning, and Gu Ning didn’t want them to see her either, so she turned around at once and hid in the washroom. At the same time, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see where they were going.

Even though she couldn’t kill them right now, she was curious about what they were doing here.

After a while, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin walked into a ward.

There was a middle-aged man lying unconscious on the hospital bed with his head wrapped in gauze bandages. A middle-aged woman sat by the bed, and another man who seemed to be a secretary stood aside from them.

There was just a short distance between them, so Gu Ning was able to hear their conversation.

“President Qi, Miss Tang, nice to see you.” Seeing Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin walking inside, the middle-aged woman stood up at once and greeted them politely.

“Mrs. Yang, how is Chairman Yang now?” Qi Ziyue asked with concern.

“The surgery was very successful,” Mrs. Yang said, “but it will take several days for him to go back to normal.”

“Glad to hear that,” Qi Ziyue said.

“President Qi, thank you so much that you’re still willing to cooperate with us even after my husband had an accident. Secretary Zhang will be in charge of the cooperation this time, and we’ll do our best to satisfy your needs,” Mrs. Yang said.

“We insist on cooperating with your company because we approve of your ability,” Qi Ziyue said.

“Thank you so much for your approval!” Mrs. Yang said.

“My pleasure,” Qi Ziyue said politely.

“President Qi, I already booked a private room at Kirin Hotel. Would you mind sharing a meal with us?” Secretary Zhang asked.

“Of course not,” Qi Ziyue said, then left the ward along with Tang Yaxin and Secretary Zhang

Seeing them leave, Gu Ning also followed them to the Kirin Hotel.

After finding out the number of their private room, Gu Ning went to change in the ladies’ room, and dressed like a mature woman.

She planned to book a private room when she walked out from the ladies’ room, but encountered Qi Ziyue again in the passage. Qi Ziyue had just hung up a call with someone and saw Gu Ning right at this moment. To Gu Ning’s astonishment, Qi Ziyue recognized her.

“Are you…” Qi Ziyue was surprised to see Gu Ning.

“Do you know me?” Gu Ning looked at him.

Chapter 749: Gu Ning Dines with Qi Ziyue

Gu Ning didn’t have any grudges against him yet, so it wasn’t a big deal that he recognized her now, but she just felt uncomfortable.

“I read the news about you on Weibo that you’ve cut out over 30 successive pieces of jade in City Teng, right? And your name is Tang Aining?” Qi Ziyue had a deep impression of the shocking news, but he also had a guilty conscience saying that name. Anyway, he would love to make friends with such an outstanding woman if it was possible.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised. She also noticed his uneasiness when he mentioned the name, Tang Aining. She thought that they would feel quite bothered if she used that name to socialize with them.

“Yeah, it’s me.” Gu Ning beamed.

Although she hated Qi Ziyue very much, she had to pretend to be friendly since she planned to bother them.

“Ha-ha, it’s so nice to meet you, Miss Tang,” Qi Ziyue said. In fact, he could remember this name just because it was the same as the name of the girl who had been killed by them.

“Oh, please allow me to introduce myself. My name’s Qi Ziyue,” Qi Ziyue said.

na

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Qi,” Gu Ning said with a smile.

“Miss Tang, are you here to dine with your friends?” Qi Ziyue asked.

“I had an appointment with my friend, but something just came up and she can’t come. I’m about to leave now,” Gu Ning said.

“Well, if you don’t mind, would you please share a meal with us?” Qi Ziyue invited Gu Ning to dine with them. “I admire your stone-gambling skills very much, and I hope that we can be friends.” Qi Ziyue was kind and sincere.

“Um, will your friends mind?” Gu Ning pretended that it wasn’t an easy decision for her to make.

“Of course they won’t,” Qi Ziyue said. “They’ll also feel honored to see you.”

Given the fame of “Tang Aining”, there were only a few people who weren’t willing to see her.

“It’s my honor as well!” Gu Ning agreed to dine with them in the end. Actually, she couldn’t be more familiar with them, so she wouldn’t feel uneasy during the meal.

After that, Gu Ning followed Qi Ziyue into their private room.

In the private room, there was one more man in addition to Secretary Zhang and Tang Yaxin, and Gu Ning was surprised to see him. He was Mu Wenqi.

Seeing Qi Ziyue walking in with a strange woman, everyone in the private room was struck dumb for a second.

Even though Mu Wenqi had met Gu Ning once before, he failed to recognize her now.

Tang Yaxin frowned and gave Gu Ning a cold glance. She thought that Gu Ning looked familiar, but didn’t remember where she had seen her.

“Please let me introduce you. This is the famous queen of jade, Tang Aining, who cut out over 30 successive pieces of jade in City Teng,” Qi Ziyue said to the others around the table. He understood that this Tang Aining wasn’t the girl they knew before, but he still felt a little nervous.

“What? This lady is the queen of jade, Tang Aining?” Hearing that, they were all astonished. Tang Yaxin, on the other hand, panicked a little when she heard the name Tang Aining. She knew that the girl was already dead, but she somehow still felt anxious. At the same time, she was also curious about how Qi Ziyue met the woman. Apart from that, she felt jealous of the woman who was obviously more beautiful than her.

Mu Wenqi and Secretary Zhang stood up at once, and greeted Gu Ning politely. It wasn’t a bad thing if they could make friends with such a famous figure.

“Miss Tang, your stone-gambling skills are really amazing! I’ve never heard of anyone else cutting out over 30 successive pieces of jade at a time before,” Mu Wenqi said.

“Indeed!” Secretary Zhang agreed.

It was the most shocking news in the stone-gambling industry now, and it was even more shocking than the news that the Wang family, which used to be one of the three largest raw material developers in City Teng, had fallen into a dramatic decline overnight.

Although it was very shocking, it wasn’t uncommon to see a rich family fall into decline. However, it was very rare to see a person cut out three or four pieces of jade at a time, let alone over 30! Most people couldn’t cut out a single piece of valuable jade during many years.

Since she was able to cut out so many pieces of jade, she must have become super-rich within a short time.

“Miss Tang, I even thought that you could have a pair of Jade Eyes, and can see what’s inside the jade raw materials,” Qi Ziyue joked. Although it was just a joke, it actually hit the point.

In the beginning, Gu Ning felt nervous when people joked about that, but now she was already used to it.

“Well, I don’t have Jade Eyes, but I do have a unique way to gamble on stones,” Gu Ning said with a smile.

It meant that she wouldn’t share it with other people, so the others didn’t ask further.

“Miss Tang, please have a seat,” Qi Ziyue said, and invited her to sit by his side.

After they were seated, Qi Ziyue introduced the others to her. Tang Yaxin was a little cold, but Gu Ning didn’t mind it.

They kept on chatting and ignored Tang Yaxin, which displeased her.

“Miss Tang, were you born in City B?” Qi Ziyue asked.

“Not really. I was born in City D, and I came here to visit my friends,” Gu Ning said.

Qi Ziyue took out his name card and gave it to Gu Ning at this moment. “Miss Tang, this is my name card. Please take it, and feel free to call me if you go to the capital in the future.”

“Thanks.” Gu Ning took it.

Tang Yaxin frowned and glared at Qi Ziyue, but she knew that Qi Ziyue was expanding his network, so she didn’t say anything.

Afterwards, Mu Wenqi and Secretary Zhang also handed Gu Ning their name cards, and Gu Ning took them as well.

“I don’t have name cards. Please remember my phone number.” Since she took their name cards, it would be impolite if she didn’t tell them her phone number. Gu Ning had a phone number which wasn’t under her ID card, so she decided to tell them that one.

Chapter 750: A Mistress’s Daughter

“I just thought that Mr. Qi looks familiar and now I realize why,” Gu Ning said all of a sudden, like an idea just dawned on her.

Qi Ziyue was surprised, and asked with curiosity, “Oh, where have you seen me before, Miss Tang?”

Although Gu Ning wasn’t flirting with Qi Ziyue, Tang Yaxin somehow disliked her way of talking with him. There was no woman who would tolerate her man talking frequently with another woman after all.

Gu Ning wore a meaningful smile, then said, “It was a coincidence, but I was rescued by a woman whose name is also Tang Aining one day in the capital. I was surrounded by a bunch of hoodlums that day, and she helped me out.”

Hearing that, both Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin were shocked. In the capital, Tang Aining? Is that woman her? Although they weren’t very sure, they had a feeling that the woman was her.

Seeing their reaction, Gu Ning was satisfied, and added, “After that, we sometimes contacted each other and I saw Mr. Qi’s photo on her phone once before, and she told me that you’re her boyfriend.”

Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin got nervous. How much does she know about Tang Aining?

Gu Ning asked, “Mr. Qi, are you still together with her? I lost touch with Aining since August last year.”

“Um, we already broke up, and we didn’t keep in touch,” Qi Ziyue said and felt uneasy.

“Oh, fine.” Gu Ning sounded disappointed.

“Well, what did you normally talk with her about?” Qi Ziyue suddenly asked.

“We just talked about our life experiences. Speaking of that, we even share a common experience. You know I have a unique skill to gamble on jade raw materials, but actually it’s my father who sent me to learn it from a master when I was just a little girl. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, and I gave my father all the money I won. Aining told me that she had the same experience, because her father sent her to learn kung fu when she was just a kid too and she’s done a lot for her family’s company,” Gu Ning said.

With a clear sound, Tang Yaxin’s hand trembled and a cup fell onto the table. Even Qi Ziyue panicked at this moment. How could she know about it? What else does she know?

“Miss Tang, are you alright?” Gu Ning pretended that she was worried about her.

“I-I’m fine.” Tang Yaxin did her best to calm herself down.

“No pain, no gain. Miss Tang, I do admire you for everything you’ve done,” Secretary Zhang said.

“Mr. Qi, if you hear from Aining, please let me know,” Gu Ning said on purpose.

“Sure,” Qi Ziyue replied. In fact, it was impossible, because she was already dead.

“She left something with me. If I can’t find her, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to keep it all the time,” Gu Ning said.

“What is it?” Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin asked in a hurry at the same time.

Seeing their unusual reaction, Gu Ning wore a confused face. Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin realized that they were acting in an impolite manner as well, and calmed down at once.

Qi Ziyue explained. “I’m also worried about her after hearing that you lost touch with her, and I want to know more about her too. Although we’ve broken up for a long time, we were boyfriend and girlfriend before after all.”

“Oh.” Gu Ning nodded. “She gave me a USB flash disk, but I don’t know what’s inside, because it’s her privacy.”

Hearing that, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin couldn’t stay calm anymore.

“Well, to be honest, I’m her younger sister. Can you give me the USB flash disk?” Tang Yaxin asked.

“You’re Aining’s younger sister?” Gu Ning, instead, seemed displeased. “If you’re her younger sister, I can’t give it to you, because I hate a mistress’s daughter the most.” Gu Ning said it plainly in front of everyone.

“You…” Tang Yaxin was mad. “Mind your language!”

Tang Yaxin hated people saying that she was a mistress’s daughter. Even though it was an unchangeable fact, she still couldn’t accept it.

Mu Wenqi and Secretary Zhang were both shocked, because they didn’t know yet. Afterwards, they felt embarrassed.

Qi Ziyue was also annoyed, but didn’t know what to say.

“It’s the truth!” Gu Ning said again.

“You…” Tang Yaxin abruptly stood up and wanted to beat Gu Ning, but was stopped by Qi Ziyue. “Yaxin, calm down.”

Thinking of the USB flash disk, Tang Yaxin had to listen to him. However, she had a grudge against “Tang Aining” now. In her eyes, all the woman named Tang Aining were unpleasant.

“Miss Tang, I’m the general manager of the Tang family’s business corporation in the capital. If you trust me, you can give the USB flash disk to me. I think that there must be business documents in it,” Qi Ziyue said.

“I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can only give it back to her,” Gu Ning said. “Please don’t worry. I promise that I’ll never read the documents inside, and I think that there must be a password if the documents are so important.”

Since Gu Ning was unwilling to give it to him, Qi Ziyue didn’t insist, and he also believed that there had to be a password.

No matter what, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin couldn’t live a peaceful life from now on because of the USB flash disk.

During this meal, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin lost their appetite. Gu Ning, on the other hand, enjoyed it very much. She did it on purpose to scare them. Sometimes, mental torture was more unbearable than physical.

After the meal, Gu Ning left, and Qi Ziyue stayed to discuss business with the rest of the people in the room.

Gu Ning didn’t walk away, but went to sit in the tea hall. She planned to follow them and teach them a lesson when they left.
