Lin Qingtong, going through puberty, was a bit awkward and refused to say why. Lin Jiaorui and Shen Xue added fuel to the fire, suggesting that Lin Qingtong was in a relationship and wanted to buy gifts for her boyfriend.
Lin Yan got even angrier and snatched her bag. Inside were packets of steamed buns and pickled vegetables. Just as the items fell out, a classmate came to eat and witnessed the whole thing.
The memory of being humiliated surged back into Lin Qingtong's mind, making her feel slightly heavy-hearted, but she quickly dispelled it and looked at Lin Jiaorui calmly.
"So what are you doing here?"
Her expression remained unchanged, showing none of the anger and humiliation that Lin Jiaorui had hoped to see.
Lin Jiaorui gritted her teeth, convinced that Lin Qingtong was faking it, so she leaned closer, placing her hands on the desk.
"My sister has such poor taste. She dared to take over such a terrible company as Sukai Furniture, unlike my boyfriend who invested nearly 50 million in the celebrity furniture brand that he gave me."
"If you're willing, sister, you can transfer this company to me. At least I can guarantee that it won't go bankrupt. Otherwise, it will have to close down sooner or later."
"When my sister wants my help, I might not be willing to help her."
Lin Qingtong leaned back lazily in her chair, her light-colored pupils revealing a cold chill, her slender, green fingers resting on the edge of the desk.
She curved her red lips into a smile and spoke with conviction.
"You're right, then I wish your celebrity home furnishing business great success."
Lin Jiaorui frowned upon receiving Lin Qingtong's blessing, sensing something was amiss. Normally, if Lin Qingtong had heard her say this, she would have retorted without hesitation.
Her current state suggests she may have already anticipated this.
So Lin Jiaorui didn't bother Lin Qingtong anymore. She just said a few perfunctory words and then swayed away.
But she only left Lin Qingtong's office, not Sukai Home Furnishings.
She secretly went to the storage room and found Wang Ma, the company's cleaner.
"How about I give you 100,000 yuan for every piece of information you gather for me?"
She asked for 100,000 yuan, which greatly tempted Wang Ma, whose monthly salary was only 3,000 yuan. Even if she was discovered, she could take the money and run away.
Wang Ma readily agreed to help Lin Jiaorui gather information.
Inside the meeting room, Lin Qingtong called over the company's only employee and presented a marketing plan.
"Attention everyone, I plan to hire a celebrity to endorse our furniture, and I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
"Liu Tingyu, who debuted at the age of sixteen in her first TV series, became a national sensation and a classic character in the hearts of the people. At the age of twenty, she won various awards at home and abroad. Now at the age of forty, she is a member of the National Academy of Drama and an ambassador for the promotion of Chinese civilization."
"If she can become our spokesperson, it would be an opportunity for Sukai Home Furnishings. In fact, I have prepared a gift for her in my office for this collaboration."
"I have already arranged my first meeting with Liu Tingyu in two days."
Lin Qingtong didn't notice Wang Ma eavesdropping through the crack in the door; she secretly recorded the conversation on her phone.
Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Wang Ma hurriedly got up and groped her way towards the office.
She found the gift Lin Qingtong had mentioned, and upon opening it, she discovered a complete diamond necklace that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
So after Wang Ma took the photos and sent them to Lin Jiaorui, she immediately made an outrageous demand.
"I want one million."
Although Lin Jiaorui felt a pang of regret, she thought that if Lin Qingtong gave Liu Tingyu a fake diamond necklace, it would definitely cause a huge embarrassment.
She gritted her teeth and gave Wang Ma one million, which she had finally managed to get from serving Master Shen last night.
He was initially a little reluctant to part with the money, but when he thought about how he could make Lin Qingtong lose face, he didn't feel bad at all, and even felt a little eager to try.
She wanted to witness Lin Qingtong's humiliating moment with her own eyes.
Soon, Lin Jiaorui bought an identical diamond necklace, even the jewelry box was the same, and asked Wang Ma to replace it.
Lin Qingtong seemed to know nothing about all of this.
That evening, Lin Qingtong dragged her tired body back to Wutong Manor by taxi, and the driver couldn't help but ask her questions.
"You're visiting here so late at night? It should be closed by now, young lady."
Lin Qingtong pursed her lips slightly, really not wanting to tell the driver that she felt like she was showing off by staying here.
The driver looked at Lin Qingtong through the rearview mirror and gave her a slightly strange reminder.
"There aren't many people there at night."
Lin Qingtong immediately sensed something was wrong; this person had impure intentions. So she secretly contacted Shen Tinghe by phone.
At the same time, Lin Qingtong said coldly, "Just drive carefully and don't worry about anything else. I'm on a secret mission."
The driver paused for a moment, "A mission? Are you a police officer?"
Lin Qingtong didn't speak, but just stared coldly at the driver, making a gesture as if she were taking something out of her bag.
Seeing Lin Qingtong's action, the driver immediately became much more obedient, stepped on the gas, and arrived at the entrance of Wutong Manor at top speed.
When Lin Qingtong got out of the car, her bag accidentally fell to the ground, and she didn't have any weapons at all.
The driver's gaze darkened upon seeing this. "Are you trying to trick me?"
Lin Qingtong didn't even have time to pick up her things and retreated as fast as she could.
She ran towards the direction of Wutong Manor, but there was a large square at the entrance, which was brightly lit but deserted.
Lin Qingtong clearly heard the footsteps behind her, her heart pounding wildly, hoping only that Shen Tinghe would see the message.
