048: Send you a banner
"...Uh, let me think about it."
If they really lose a big client because of Xu Yao, Hua Bin, as the team leader, will be in trouble.
The justice in the hearts of workers is worthless in the face of capital.
Xu Yao couldn't bear to tease Hua Bin anymore, "Okay, no matter whether the Shen family will cooperate with our company in the future, at least we can't let Wen Yiyi succeed this time."
"Do you have a solution?"
Hua Bin was skeptical and told Xu Yao not to be so stubborn.
At worst, I can just endure the nausea and attend the engagement party.
"An engagement isn't like a wedding. You can skip the gift and have a nice meal! They've booked such a fancy hotel, so the food must be good and the drinks must be expensive. It's such a grand occasion, most people can't even go if they want to."
Hua Bin persuaded her so much that he was moved. "If you don't want to take your husband to suffer, I can humble myself and be your male companion!"
Xu Yao urged Hua Bin to calm down, "Team Leader, none of us need to feel wronged."
Without waiting for Hua Bin to speak again, Xu Yao turned around and went back to the reception room.
Wen Yiyi thought she was going to come back and pointed to the engagement party invitation on the table, "Have you thought it through? If you have, put the invitation away yourself. Chen Yan will have to accompany me to try on the engagement dress later. I don't have much time to waste on you."
Xu Yao picked up the engagement party invitation and tore it into pieces. Amid Wen Yiyi's screams, Xu Yao called Wen Zhicheng and explained in a few words what had happened today.
"For Yiyi's sake, I really don't want to go. If I go, it will remind the guests of my past with Shen Yan, which would be very bad for Yiyi. What do you think, Uncle Wen?"
Wen Zhicheng felt that Xu Yao’s consideration was right!
He asked Xu Yao to hand the phone to Wen Yiyi. Xu Yao was afraid that Wen Yiyi would throw her phone, so she turned on the speakerphone directly.
"Wen Yiyi, get back here right now. If you continue to stir up trouble in front of Shen Yan and try to get rid of Xu Yao's company, I will hand over Wen's advertising business to Xu Yao's company!"
"dad--"
Wen Yi was very angry, "Why do you always defend Xu Yao? Who is your biological daughter?"
Wen Zhicheng didn't continue to argue with Wen Yiyi on the phone. He apologized to Xu Yao again and again and told her to do the same in the future: "Yiyi, if you are immature in any way, tell me the first time."
"Uncle Wen, I understand. Don't worry!"
Xu Yao hung up the phone and stuffed the torn invitation back into Wen Yiyi's hands. "Do you want to listen to your father? Think about it carefully. If you can really persuade Shen Yan to stop cooperating with our company, I will definitely send you a banner. Do you think I am willing to have my ex-boyfriend as the company's big client? Without the Shen family's advertising business, Uncle Wen promised to hand over Wen's advertising business to me. If I can attract such a big new client, maybe I can get a promotion and a raise... Oh, I feel a little regretful now. Why don't you give me a new invitation? I will definitely be there early on the day of your engagement!"
Wen Yiyi is young and in good health. If her health was a little worse, she would have had a cerebral hemorrhage because of Xu Yao's anger!
Give the Wen family's advertising business to Xu Yao and help Xu Yao get a promotion and a raise?
Wen Yiyi is willing to jump off the building!
"Just wait!"
Wen Yiyi took away all the pieces of the invitation. When she came, she was like a colorful cloud, and when she left, she turned into a dark cloud with thunder and lightning.
Hua Bin watched the whole process with a look of shock on his face. Seeing Xu Yao turn the situation around so easily, Hua Bin looked at her from head to toe as if he was meeting her for the first time.
"Why didn't I realize how capable you were before? You've been working at the company for three years and haven't had a single argument with a colleague. You've never complained when I assigned you overtime. Sometimes I worry you're being bullied... So I'm the fool?!"
Xu Yao said modestly, "I'm not that great. I just happen to know Wen Yiyi's dad. No father wants to see his son-in-law's ex-girlfriend appear at his daughter and son-in-law's engagement party. Rich people care more about face. Wen Yiyi's willful father is not confused."
Hua Bin hummed, "When you really bring in Wen Yiyi's company's business, maybe I'll even call you my leader."
Xu Yao laughed: "How is that possible!"
——Even if Xu Yao was reduced to handing out flyers on the street, she would not take the Wen family’s advertising business.
…
This time, Xu Yao didn't need to tell Lin Meixian, Wen Zhicheng took the initiative to tell her about the stupid things Wen Yiyi had done.
Wen Yiyi was so ignorant that Wen Zhicheng couldn't raise his head in front of Lin Meixian. He really wanted to hand over Wen's advertising business to Xu Yao's company.
"It doesn't matter who makes the money, it's better to let our family make it."
Lin Meixian smiled and refused, "That company isn't Xu Yao's. If you give her the advertising business, she'll probably just get a raise at most. If Yiyi starts making trouble again, it'll be even more uneasy for the family. So, let's not do it. Besides, I think Yaoyao's side business is doing well. Maybe one day she'll quit and focus on it."
Wen Zhicheng doesn't watch the videos Xu Yao posts online, but Lin Meixian watches every episode.
When Lin Meixian mentioned Xu Yao's internet celebrity status, Wen Zhicheng didn't know what to say.
Xu Yao became an internet celebrity to help the Xu family pay off debts. Regardless of whether she shows her face or not, she has never established her persona under the Wen family's name. Wen Zhicheng has no right to express any opinion - unless he is willing to help Xu Yao pay off all debts, he can act like a stepfather in front of Xu Yao and is also qualified to demand what Xu Yao can and cannot do.
That's obviously impossible.
As stepmother, Lin Meixian will attend Wen Yiyi's engagement party, but she keeps her word and has no say in how the party is planned. Wen Yiyi wants to surpass Xu Yao in terms of the size of the engagement party, but Lin Meixian doesn't get angry and leaves all the details to Wen Zhicheng.
Lin Meixian was calm, but Chen Yan's mother Guo Xianzhen was not calm, especially when Guo Xianzhen accidentally heard from others that the people in the Shen family mansion thought Chen Yan's engagement banquet was too high-profile. Guo Xianzhen was really upset.
Finding a daughter-in-law who is of equal social status has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the Shen family does not have to spend money to subsidize their daughter-in-law, but the disadvantage is that the daughter-in-law who is a good match for them is really generous when it comes to spending money!
Guo Xianzhen got angry when she saw the list of expenses for the engagement party and asked Chen Yan, "Does Wen Yiyi have a grudge against money?"
The Shen family is not short of money, and neither is the Wen family.
But Wen Yiyi is really good at spending money.
For example, the flowers for the engagement party, couldn't they be shipped from domestic flower production areas? Wen Yiyi insisted on using flowers flown in from abroad, and the budget for decorating the venue increased three or four times.
She also wanted a high-end dress from a famous brand, a diamond ring bigger than the pigeon egg that Lin Meixian got at her wedding, and the standard of the wedding banquet... Guo Xianzhen thought it was too luxurious.
If it was a marriage, Guo Xianzhen would grit her teeth and accept it. If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Yan would only have to get married once, so it was reasonable for the cost to be higher.
It was just an engagement.
The engagement cost so much money, Guo Xianzhen couldn't imagine how much money it would cost to marry Wen Yiyi.
With the comparison of Wen Yiyi, Guo Xianzhen remembered Xu Yao's goodness for the first time.
Xu Yao doesn't care much about these things. If the Xu family hadn't gone bankrupt, Guo Xianzhen really wouldn't want to change his daughter-in-law.
Looking at the silent and unresponsive Chen Yan, Guo Xianzhen swallowed his regret and forced a smile, saying, "Forget it, it's time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. It's okay to spend more."
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new?
Shen Yan was not willing to say goodbye to the old year, and he was also reluctant to welcome the new year.
I wonder if Xu Yao felt any regret after hearing the news that he and Wen Yiyi were getting engaged?
She is so stubborn that she won't admit it even if she regrets it.
…
"A-choo!"
Xu Yao sneezed as soon as she got off the car.
Xu Yao really regretted it.
She didn't know that someone was talking about her, and just thought it was the cold wind halfway up the mountain. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have just worn a thin coat for the sake of looking pretty. She really regretted not wearing thick clothes!
Gu Jun wanted to take off his coat and put it on Xu Yao, but Xu Yao waved her hands repeatedly, "Let's go check in quickly. It will be fine once we get inside. Take off your clothes and give them to me. What if you catch a cold?"
Without having to attend Wen Yiyi's engagement party, Xu Yao followed Gu Jun to a hot spring resort hotel.
Forget about sharing a private bath. Xu Yao happily packed her luggage only after seeing Gu Jun book two rooms.
Gu Jun didn't care about his own cold, he was more afraid that Xu Yao would catch a cold. Xu Yao was too thin and her immunity was definitely not as good as his.
"You can put it on. I'm a grown man, it won't hurt if I get cold for a while. I can go back to my room and soak in the hot springs and sweat it out, and everything will be fine."
Gu Jun still gave the coat to Xu Yao.
The clothes had Gu Jun's warmth and scent, and Xu Yao was wrapped in warmth and did not refuse anymore.
The two of them went to the front desk to check in. Just as they took out their ID cards, someone called Gu Jun from behind:
"Hey, why are you here?"
Gu Jun knew who it was the moment he heard the voice. Xu Yao turned around before Gu Jun and saw Jiang Zhiyan with a beautiful female companion, also dragging a suitcase. Xu Yao tugged at Gu Jun's sleeve, "Is your boss here on vacation too?"
Gu Jun turned around reluctantly, "Boss Jiang, what a coincidence!"
——When we get back to the company, no one can stop him, he will definitely kill Jiang Zhiyan!
