Fortunately, the foundation was laid well beforehand, so as soon as someone brought it up, that person was immediately scolded.

They said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we let Boss Jiao handle such a troublesome matter? We're counting on Boss Jiao to treat us to drinks tonight."

They looked at her expectantly as they spoke.

Yu Jiaojiao had no choice but to say, "Let's go to Crystal Palace tonight, I'll cover all your drinks."

The chemical warfare group immediately erupted in cheerful cheers, just like she had heard countless times before.

But this time, she felt no joy.

It's one thing to invite someone voluntarily, but quite another to be forced to. She was a little angry. Why hadn't they acted like the men from the energy group after she had been drinking with them for so long?

They should treat her to meals occasionally, but they never give her a penny, let alone buy her anything.

Yu Jiaojiao became increasingly angry, so she came to the energy group to cause trouble.

Yu Jiaojiao said, "He Jing, since you say you're a rich woman, prove it to me if you dare. Tonight I'm bringing our Chemical Engineering Group to the Crystal Palace. Do you dare bring the Energy Group?"

He Jing raised an eyebrow: "What's there to be afraid of?"

It's just the Crystal Palace, the cost of one night is only a few hundred thousand, which is nothing to her, who has a treasure trove of savings.

More importantly... the Crystal Palace is an asset under He Sui's name.

He Sui made a fortune building networks for various companies, and this Crystal Palace was given to him by the company's CEO in an effort to retain him.

Nevertheless, He Sui did not become a full employee of that company; he merely held the title of chief executive in name only. As for monopolizing personal technology, that was not the case.

The Crystal Palace bears He Sui's name, yet He Sui has never visited it.

He Jing thought to herself, it's time to help her brother patrol the property again.

She smiled and said, "I wonder how many bottles of Louis XIII Ms. Jiao will be able to open tonight?"

Yu Jiaojiao curled her lips in disdain: "Anyway, it's a number you can't afford."

"Well... let's wait and see."

After saying that, He Jing was overjoyed.

She felt that Yu Jiaojiao was like a pure, innocent victim, constantly sending money to her relatives and friends. If she could keep making money like this, she hoped that her identity would never be revealed.

The energy team was in a panic. Xiao Wang pulled He Jing aside and said, "Why did you agree to Yu Jiaojiao's request? Yu Jiaojiao is a genuine rich second-generation. We can't compete with her in terms of money. Xiao Jing, listen to me, let's leave early after get off work today, don't go."

Lao Ji strongly agreed: "Or I can apply for an overtime assignment, and we can stay and work overtime together."

Although they also wanted to go home early, they could stay at the institute for He Jing's sake.

He Jingyun said calmly, "Don't worry, I must have the confidence to win since I agreed."

Qi E said, "Win? What's the point of winning? We're not going to put on a brave face!"

Wei Hua, the only one who knew the inside story, cautiously interjected, "Perhaps... this Crystal Palace is owned by Jingjing's family?"

Without even thinking, Xiao Wang shouted, "Impossible!"

Crystal Palace is one of the top luxury bars in City A. Putting aside whether He Jing, with her serious demeanor, would actually run such an indecent place, the value of Crystal Palace alone is equivalent to three apartments in downtown City A.

To afford a Crystal Palace, one must be extremely wealthy. If He Jing's family were truly that rich, why would she need to work? She could just stay at home and be a kept woman.
