Zhang Ningxi left the hotel restaurant as if no one was around.
Every sound of her high heels stepping on the ground when she left seemed to step on Xu Zhirui's heart, making him feel like he was pierced by thousands of arrows.
He had never been treated like this in his life.
Before, it might have been attributed to the fact that the other party didn't know her and didn't know her identity, but after Xu Ying introduced her, the other party still ignored her. How could there be such a woman? How arrogant she is.
"Just wait, I won't let you go." Xu Zhirui swore secretly in his heart.
At this point it was impossible to stay any longer and be laughed at by others, so Xu Zhirui left the restaurant, but his receding figure seemed a little embarrassed.
Since she was a shareholder of Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company, Zhang Ningxi's information could naturally be found, and then the information of her father Zhang Tianming was found by following the clues.
As the heir to the Xu Group, many people were willing to give Xu Zhirui some face, so after making a few phone calls, he was able to find out a lot of non-public information.
Zhang Tianming's net worth is just over 20 million (including real estate), which is not as much as an ordinary person who owns two or three houses in Shanghai, but it is different in Northeast China.
Bank transactions show that Zhang Tianming transferred 5 million yuan to an investment company last year, and 200 million yuan was transferred back from the investment company six months later. Industry insiders believe this is income from overseas investments, either gambling or cryptocurrency speculation, otherwise such huge profits would be impossible.
Not long ago, another 150 million yuan was transferred out of Zhang Tianming's account. Xu Zhirui thought that this money should be used to buy shares in a cosmetics company.
It is normal for a father to prepare some dowry in advance for his daughter's future well-being.
But in fact, Zhang Tianming used this money to invest in agriculture with Si Mingyu, and after the money was transferred to the account of Si Mingyu's subsidiary company, ordinary people could not check it.
The black soil in Northeast China is very suitable for agricultural development. Zhang Tianming was in charge of all matters such as Si Mingyu's establishment of a company and purchase of land. Isn't it reasonable to ask his father-in-law to invest some money together to establish supporting industries in a profitable business?
In fact, Xu Zhirui was overthinking things. If he could check the license plate of the Maybach that Zhang Ningxi rode when she came, or ask his friends in the business community in Shanghai, he would not have such unrealistic ideas.
But how could Xu Zhirui, who had obtained the information, take a nouveau riche from Northeast China seriously, and how could he tell others about such a shameful thing?
So he self-righteously made plans for the next step.
The net profit of Zhang Ningxi's father Zhang Tianming's trading company is only two to three million yuan a year, and the dividends from her shares in Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company are only more than two million yuan, while Xu Zhirui's annual pocket money is five million yuan.
Perhaps the other party felt that her family had a wealth of more than 200 million, which was similar to Xu Zhirui's family's nearly 30 billion. Then she was totally wrong.
Xu Zhirui wanted to show off his financial resources and status, so that his daughter, a nouveau riche, could experience the life of the upper class in Shanghai, and let her know that even if she owned shares in a cosmetics company worth 150 million, it would mean nothing in Shanghai.
Break her confidence and then take advantage of her opportunity.
So he immediately contacted Xu Ying and asked her to organize an event on the pretext of recruiting spokespersons for the sub-brands of Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company, and to invite all shareholders and brand spokespersons Reba and Wang Yibo to participate.
Xu Zhirui did not act simply out of impulse. After all, he was the heir to the Xu Group. Even if the other party was as beautiful as a fairy, he would not be so impulsive.
This recruitment campaign had already been planned, but it was brought forward. That sub-brand focuses on online sales and is the next product that the Xu Group's subsidiaries will be pushing hard, so Xu Zhirui has such extensive authority in selecting the spokesperson.
Moreover, this event has become a big news after being broadcast online and hyped by its own cultural company, which can increase the popularity of the brand products. This is why Dilmurat and Wang Yibo were invited to the event.
As the heir to a multi-billion dollar group, Xu Zhirui does have some abilities.
The original plan was ready-made, and they had their own advertising company, so they just needed to contact the venue and see if the two big-name stars had time.
What Shanghai has the most is five-star hotels. After negotiation, the venue was decided to be the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel.
Although the two stars' schedules are very full, there is no problem in taking two days out. After all, as contracted spokespersons, they have the obligation to cooperate with Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company. Besides, Xu Ying has also paid enough labor fees and transportation expenses.
Naturally, Zhang Ningxi received an invitation to this event as a shareholder, and the company also specifically emphasized that this sub-brand is targeted at young people, so as a person of the same age, she must be present.
The media had already begun to hype up the event, and as someone who had been following Peacock Feather Cosmetics, she naturally knew about it. Zhang Ningxi, of course, was unaware of Xu Zhirui's covert arrangements. She simply agreed to participate after reading the proposal, out of her responsibility as a shareholder.
After the news of recruiting spokespersons was released, the economic companies of major celebrities called to contact them. After all, Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company is a big brand in China. Although it is a subsidiary brand, it is also the endorsement of many second-tier and even quasi-first-tier celebrities.
As for who to choose in the end, it depends on their respective methods.
Ningyu Garden, main building.
Six hundred square meters might not seem like a lot for some luxury homes, but it's not small for just two people. It includes a 200-square-meter master bedroom, two adjacent 100-square-meter walk-in closets, a 100-square-meter bathroom, and two 10-square-meter toilets.
Only half of the space in Zhang Ningxi's dressing room is used. This is because all her clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories are custom-made by Aunt Zhao, so naturally there are not as many styles as those sold on the market.
Some brands of clothing such as Hermès and Chanel only have a few sets that are worthy of attention or casual styles. After all, haute couture cannot make sportswear for you, so the total number is naturally not large.
Because she will attend the brand spokesperson signing event for Peacock Feather Cosmetics tomorrow, Zhang Ningxi has to choose her clothes today.
Of course, the event was just an excuse and no one would care, but her purpose was to drag Si Mingyu to choose clothes together.
"I think you should just wear your usual clothes. After all, the newly signed spokesperson is the protagonist, and it wouldn't be good to overshadow him." Si Mingyu said, holding the clothes in his hand.
"It's a large-scale event after all, so we should pay a little more attention to it." Zhang Ningxi stretched out her fingers and compared them, but the gap in the middle was basically negligible.
"Then this one will do. It's the simplest style." Si Mingyu picked up a black long skirt. After Zhang Ningxi put it on, the hem just reached her calves and didn't get in the way. She could just wear it for daily commuting and put on an outer layer.
