Shengxuan's original advertising company had a great reputation in the industry. It had only been around for half a year, but it had already attracted a lot of attention with several novel and imaginative advertisements.

After the advertising company was forced into bankruptcy, a large number of people were deeply saddened and wished they had cooperated with it sooner.

Sheng Xuan is a very loyal person and cares a lot about his subordinates, so when they heard that Sheng Xuan was going to make a comeback at "Chuyuan Advertising Company", they all rushed over without hesitation.

The manpower was quickly sufficient. Shengxuan's previous creative advertisements were unique, and many people came to inquire. On the second day after the company opened, it was bustling with people.

Sheng Xuan's responsibilities were not clearly defined; she was only described as Chairman Ning Lang's assistant, working for her.

After the company started operating, all the employees understood that Sheng Xuan was the one giving orders from top to bottom. He did almost everything for the higher-ups, holding multiple positions and working overtime during the day and night, keeping him extremely busy.

Everyone had followed Sheng Xuan and understood how difficult things were for him after his bankruptcy, so no one dared to speak carelessly.

Liao Congming reminded all employees not to disclose any information about the company to outsiders, especially about Sheng Xuan. They were to keep the same tone and say that Sheng Xuan was just working for Ning Lang and was only receiving an assistant's salary despite working himself to the bone every day.

News of Ning Lang opening an advertising company quickly spread throughout Rongcheng's high society.

Where there are crowds, there is no shortage of gossip. Rumors such as "Sheng Xuan was left on the streets and taken in by his ex-wife in the attic of a herbal tea shop. He had no choice but to work for Ning Lang to make a living" quickly spread to everyone.

...

The Lin family's house, third floor of a multi-story villa.

A middle-aged maid brought a small bowl of steaming bird's nest to the door of the room and gently knocked.

"Eighth Miss, the bird's nest soup is ready."

A moment later, Lin Huier, who was applying a face mask, opened the door, glanced at the bird's nest, and said in a low voice, "Bring it in."

The maid put down the bird's nest, turned around, and walked out.

"Wait a minute." Lin Huier called out to her, and asked, "Sister Mei, have Auntie and Fifth and Sixth Sisters returned from the charity gala?"

“I’m back.” Amei said with a forced smile. “Master bought two diamond bracelets for the Fifth and Sixth Misses, and also bought a very beautiful vase for the First Madam—I heard it’s a very expensive antique.”

Lin Huier's face mask fell off, and she said awkwardly in a low voice, "Really? Daddy is so nice..."

Ever since Sheng Xuan went bankrupt, her father has been telling her to break up with him quickly and decisively, and to win over Jiang Lirong, this smiling tiger.

She was unwilling to give up, always feeling that since she had finally managed to get close to Sheng Xuan, she should take the opportunity to gain some real benefits so that she and her incompetent and weak biological mother could have a way out in the future.

Unfortunately, Sheng Xuan was utterly useless, unable to even hold onto the little bit of old business she owned—causing her to be scolded by her father and aunt several times, and ridiculed by her sisters time and time again in private.

Not only that, her father and aunt no longer took her to banquets and parties in high society, as if they had completely banished her to the cold palace.

The maid chuckled and flicked the plate in her hand.

“Eighth Miss, Butler Liu just told our kitchen that starting tomorrow, bird’s nest will only be supplied to Fifth Miss and Sixth Miss. As for you and Fourth Madam, you will only have white fungus soup.”

Lin Huier's expression was not good. She asked, "Did Butler Liu say that?"

"He said it was the First Madam's idea." The maid forced a smile. "Eighth Miss, we all do things according to Steward Liu's orders, and Steward Liu listens to the First Madam. You should understand that, right?"

“I understand.” Lin Huier raised her chin and smiled smugly, then deliberately asked, “Sister Mei, my dad said he wants to talk to me when he gets back. He should be in his study, right?”

The maid's eyes darted around for a moment before she quickly adopted a warmer, more friendly demeanor.

"Yes, yes! Master went to his study after he came back. Eighth Miss, the bird's nest soup should be drunk while it's hot. You should finish it and go quickly."

Lin Huier smiled arrogantly, snorted coldly, and slammed the door shut!
