Chapter 180 A Long Criminal Record

“We don’t have much money on hand, each of us can only contribute 200,000 yuan. With your contribution, it should be enough as start-up capital for a small studio…”

“We can start by making silver jewelry and take small orders. You have experience running a studio, and now that the two of us are helping you, I believe our studio will be up and running very quickly.”

Jiang Ning listened silently to Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan's ideas, without expressing any opinion.

Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan exchanged glances.

"Think it over carefully, we're serious."

“We really admire you, and we also want to have our own studio like you.”

"If you don't mind us, we can start a company together after you finish making the Queen's crown... This crappy place, FY, let whoever wants to work here do it. I can't stand it for another day!"

"Me too, Jiang Ning. My future and Zhuang Qian's future depend on you."

As Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan talked, their eyes welled up with tears.

Although Jiang Ning did not agree to start a company with Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan.

But after that deep conversation, Jiang Ning no longer refused Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan's offer to make her coffee and bring her desserts.

“If you want to open a studio with me, I will be the boss, and you will only be assistants at first, so you will have to get used to serving me tea and water.”

In the workspace, Jiang Ning spoke to Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan.

"Of course, we'd love to."

Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan outwardly bowed and scraped to Jiang Ning, but inwardly they were seething with anger.

After a week, the two of them had become Jiang Ning's little followers, even like servants.

Jiang Ning: "The coffee is too sweet, let's get another one."

Zhuang Qian: "But didn't you want it with sugar?"

Jiang Ning: "I wanted an Americano with sugar, not a latte. Make it again."

Zhuang Qian: "..."

Jiang Ning: "I'm having curry beef rice from Matsubaya for lunch today."

Luo Meijuan: "Songyewu is too far from our company, so they don't deliver to us."

Jiang Ning: "Then drive to buy it. It will only take an hour and a half to get back, just in time for your lunch break so you won't be late."

Luo Meijuan: "..."

Jiang Ning doesn't have a car, but ever since Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan pledged their loyalty to her, Jiang Ning has been picked up and dropped off at get off work.

Zhuang Qian picked her up and took her to the company together when she went to work, and Luo Meijuan took her home after get off work.

Other employees at FY gradually noticed that Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan were getting close to Jiang Ning.

"Jiang Ning, come here for a moment."

During his lunch break, Pete called Jiang Ning to his office.

"Is the crown production going smoothly?"

"Yes, it went smoothly."

“You’ve been getting quite close to Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan lately, and I’m a little worried.”

Pete left his words at that, because he wasn't sure if he had the right to interfere with Jiang Ning's freedom to make friends.

"Don't worry, Pete, Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan are my friends now."

Jiang Ning grinned, his smile resembling that of a beautiful fox.

Finally, the crown designed and made by Jiang Ning for Queen Elizabeth was completed.

Zhuang Qian and Luo Meijuan kept clamoring to see the Queen's crown, but Jiang Ning flatly refused.

Tonight, Queen Elizabeth will attend a dinner in the Royal Banquet Hall with dignitaries from City A and business leaders.

Her old crown was damaged and could no longer be worn, and Jiang Ning promised to deliver a new crown before the banquet.

"Jiang Ning, since you don't have a car, take mine to the Royal Banquet Hall!"

"OK!"

Jiang Ning readily agreed.

Zhuang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, Jiang Ning has been commuting to and from get off work in her and Luo Meijuan's car, and he's long been used to using them as his drivers.

"I'll get the crown for you."

Luo Meijuan volunteered, but Jiang Ning shook his head.

"This won't do... What if you accidentally break it!"

Jiang Ning carefully held the gift box with both hands and gestured for Luo Meijuan to open the car door for her, which Luo Meijuan had no choice but to do.

Jiang Ning got into Zhuang Qian's car. She sat in the passenger seat, while Zhuang Qian drove.

The car was going smoothly at first, and they were only five minutes away from the Royal Banquet Hall when Zhuang Qian suddenly turned into a side street.

The road was muddy and had puddles. The front left wheel got stuck in the mud and couldn't be driven out no matter what she did, making Zhuang Qian sweat profusely with anxiety.

"Excuse me, Jiang Ning, could you go down and help me push it?"

Seeing Jiang Ning's displeasure, Zhuang Qian added, "If this continues, we won't be able to leave, and you'll be late. What if you miss the Queen's banquet?"

"Sigh, alright then!"

Jiang Ning sighed, reluctantly got out of the car, and walked to the back of the car.

Zhuang Qian immediately opened the gift box on the seat, took out the crown inside, put the fake one she had prepared in advance inside, and then put the crown into a bag and put it away.

Jiang Ning pushed the car a few times from the back, and the left front wheel finally got out of the mud pit.

She got back into the car, and Zhuang Qian thanked her repeatedly.

After dropping Jiang Ning off at the Royal Banquet Hall, Zhuang Qian immediately drove around to the back door and slipped into a small restaurant diagonally opposite the back door.

Chu Qingxue was waiting inside.

Zhuang Qian handed the bag containing the crown to Chu Qingxue, who immediately stuffed it into her bag and quickly left the small restaurant, entering the Royal Banquet Hall through the back door.

The dinner party began.

Jiangning arrived at just the right time.

She was dressed in business attire, unlike the men and women in the banquet hall who were dressed up.

Those people were all bigwigs from the political and business worlds who were invited to the banquet, while she was at most a delivery person.

Queen Elizabeth arrived at the entrance to the banquet hall.

She wore a navy blue fishtail dress, and her stunning blonde hair flowed freely, making her look just like a mermaid.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Before Jiang Ning could hand the gift box to the Queen, Fu Xinyue walked over, her high heels clicking on the floor.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful. Jiang Ning has a long criminal record. Don't be fooled by her."

"oh?"

Queen Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's Jiang Ning's criminal record?"

"She once used lab-grown diamonds instead of natural diamonds to make my wedding jewelry set..."

Before Fu Xinyue could finish speaking, Jiang Ning saw Chu Qingxue walking over.

Chu Qingxue certainly didn't come alone.

Or rather, Chu Qingxue was not qualified to attend such an occasion.

She was clearly dressed up carefully tonight; her fuchsia bodycon dress had no extra embellishments, relying entirely on the high-quality fabric and the smooth cut.

It looks simple, but it's actually quite eye-catching.

Even Fu Xinyue, who was wearing a gold satin dress next to her, was instantly overshadowed.

Beside Chu Qingxue was Lu Junyan.

She held Lu Junyan's hand, intimately close and inseparable.

Lu Junyan was still the same as always, dressed in a pure black suit with a black satin shirt underneath, elegant and noble, yet domineering, like a dictatorial emperor of a business empire.

Noticing Jiang Ning's gaze lingering on him, Lu Junyan's previously cold face suddenly broke into a smile.
