"Mr. Hu, thank you for reminding me, but you don't need to say anything more about this. No one can persuade me otherwise. I used to only focus on building my career, but now I regret it. I want to have a love. When he proposed to me, I was really moved. I felt like the happiest woman in the world, and that moment was the happiest time of my life."
Liu Mingfang didn't blame Hu Yuan for looking down on Ouyang Jierui, but her attitude was equally firm, and she said that no amount of persuasion would work.
This woman is a classic example of someone who's blinded by love.
Sure enough, women in love have negative IQs, that was Hu Yuan's only thought at the time.
Knowing full well that her actions were tantamount to a moth drawn to a flame, she still resolutely accepted it.
However, Hu Yuan also understood this principle: 99% of things in the world can be bought with money, but emotions cannot.
Love is one of them.
Hu Yuan couldn't understand why a smart woman like Liu Mingfang would be so persistent for a fool like Ouyang Jierui, but love is inherently irrational and doesn't need a reason.
Or perhaps, Liu Mingfang had been struggling for money for decades and was exhausted, and Ouyang Jierui appeared just when she needed a rest.
In short, in Hu Yuan's opinion, Ouyang Jierui was incredibly lucky to marry Liu Mingfang.
But this is only Hu Yuan's opinion; others may see it differently.
After all, Dongyang Group's strength now far surpasses that of Mingfang Group.
Moreover, on the very day of his wedding, Ouyang Jierui will become the true head of the Ouyang family and the true president of the Dongyang Group.
In these people's eyes, Liu Mingfang was just a poor woman from humble beginnings, and she was also more than ten years older than Ouyang Jierui.
This is like comparing heaven and earth.
Some people are born with a sense of superiority. Even though Liu Mingfang is now worth more than many people, they still feel that Liu Mingfang's background is not good and that she cannot compare with those born into wealthy families like theirs.
The Ouyang family has quite a few people like this.
On her wedding day, Liu Mingfang walked into the hall amidst many strange looks.
Even the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jierui's younger sister, made things difficult for Liu Mingfang in front of everyone.
On that day, Ouyang Yuechu wore a white evening gown, her hair was styled in a high bun, and she was heavily made up, making her look more like a bride than Liu Mingfang.
Just as Liu Mingfang was about to throw the bouquet, Ouyang Yuechu suddenly said in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey sister-in-law, why don't you just leave it? No one's going to catch a bouquet thrown by a country girl anyway."
Her words probably expressed the sentiments of many people present, but they would only stand by and watch the show with indifference, mocking Liu Mingfang for climbing the social ladder only to suffer such treatment.
Moreover, a dozen or so bridesmaids and guests were originally going to come up to catch the bouquet, but because of her words, they all walked to the side, leaving only Liu Mingfang's secretary standing firmly with her hands outstretched behind her.
This also demonstrates Liu Mingfang's capabilities as a group leader. People in the company respect her greatly, and even if it means offending the unruly eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, she remains steadfast.
Liu Mingfang turned to look at her secretary and smiled happily.
At this moment, Ouyang Jierui noticed Liu Mingfang's embarrassment, so he immediately gave his sister a look, reminding her to stop.
"Oh dear, how could I forget? Sister-in-law, you'll be a member of the Ouyang family from now on. How could no one want to catch your bouquet? I was really careless."
Ouyang Yuechu immediately raised her voice again.
As soon as he finished speaking, those who had just left immediately came back, and even some guests who hadn't come forward before stepped forward.
Because this was still an insult from Ouyang Yuechu to Liu Mingfang, they were very happy to hear it.
Moreover, if they don't come up now, it would be a bit disrespectful to the Ouyang family.
"Alright, stop making trouble at the beginning of the month."
Ouyang Jierui wasn't really angry, but he still spoke up to stop his sister from continuing her tantrum.
Liu Mingfang, however, seemed completely unaffected by Ouyang Yuechu and continued to happily toss the bouquet.
Hu Yuan shook his head upon seeing this scene.
Love became a beautiful filter; in Liu Mingfang's eyes, although Ouyang Jierui wasn't very smart, he must love her very much.
However, those involved are often blinded, while bystanders can see clearly. When Liu Mingfang was so insulted, Ouyang Jierui was not angry at all, which is enough to show that he had no love for Liu Mingfang at all.
Moreover, this guy might not even be sincere about marrying Liu Mingfang.
Next, in front of everyone, the patriarch of the Ouyang family announced that he would be stepping down to Ouyang Jierui.
Ouyang Jierui was overjoyed, clinking glasses with everyone who congratulated him, laughing heartily, and speaking confidently on stage.
At that moment, Hu Yuan finally understood.
Marrying Liu Mingfang was likely an important condition for Ouyang Jierui to successfully take over the position.
Because Liu Mingfang's assets are considerable, once Ouyang Jierui and Liu Mingfang get married, it doesn't necessarily mean that Mingfang Group will become part of the Ouyang family. At the very least, it will provide the Ouyang family with a lot of help and also enhance the Ouyang family's overall status in the provincial capital.
In other words, what Liu Mingfang called love was nothing more than a simple transaction in Ouyang Jierui's eyes.
If Liu Mingfang found out about this, she would probably be furious.
In Hu Yuan's view, this wedding was actually a battlefield, and he couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he had to leave early.
Whether it was to please Liu Mingfang or because Ouyang Jierui had gotten carried away, the two went on a trip immediately after getting married, and even said they would travel around the world and wouldn't be back for three months.
Liu Mingfang's company is being temporarily managed by her secretary, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
The Dongyang Group was managed by Ouyang Jierui's sister, who was the spoiled young lady who humiliated Liu Mingfang at the wedding.
Hu Yuan had no idea what that guy was thinking. Did he think the Ouyang family was invincible and that even if an idiot were to manage the company, no one would dare to touch them?
In Hu Yuan's eyes, Dongyang Group is now a shadow of its former self. After Ouyang Jierui's actions, his position as president may be ruined before he even has a chance to settle in.
On Hu Yuan's side, everything was going smoothly at the construction site, and Hu Yuan was also preparing to set off for Haidu City.
The flip phone market is coming to an end, and semi-smartphones are about to be launched, probably in about two months. Hu Yuan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and the first manufacturer to produce a semi-smartphone will be in Haidu City.
Sophie will also launch a semi-smartphone soon, but a little later.
