He Jing gave a cryptic laugh and remained silent.
Yu Jiaojiao continued, "The technology you're talking about isn't some relative's child winning first prize in a handicraft competition, and sports is playing ping-pong with people at the entrance of the neighborhood, is it? If you count them like that, the Yu family has hundreds of businesses. My friend's child likes fishing, so that's probably the fishing industry, right?"
Her words were so sarcastic that the men in the chemical engineering group couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
The energy group was in an awkward position, and dared not speak out against their anger.
They certainly wanted to speak up for He Jing, but He Jing was just too good at bragging.
Only Wei Hua spoke up for He Jing, saying, "Yu Jiaojiao, there are always people more capable than you! Our Jingjing's status is not something you can aspire to. If she says there are more than twenty kinds, then there are definitely more than twenty kinds."
Xiao Wang pulled Wei Hua aside and solemnly warned her, "Wei Hua, don't stir up trouble."
Before Yu Jiaojiao could even speak, the men around her began to chime in with their own words:
"Hahahaha, she's so beautiful, she might actually be a rich woman, just the kind who got her wealth through shady means..."
"How much did you drink to get so drunk?"
"Our CEO Jiao is so famous in City A, yet no one has ever heard of He Jing in City A. At most, she's just an unknown young model or internet celebrity."
"Don't show off, showing off is just embarrassing."
...
They all said increasingly offensive things, and Wei Hua was so angry she almost cried. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to argue with them.
He Jing pressed down on Wei Hua's shoulder and said with a slow, deliberate smile, "President Jiao, as a woman, can you tolerate a man saying such things to other women?"
Yu Jiaojiao crossed her arms and said with a smile, "If it's true, then there's nothing unpleasant about it, right?"
"Ha! Some women are truly filled with malice towards other women." He Jing's lips curled into a mocking smile. She rubbed the rim of her glass a couple of times with her fingertips, then set it down, stood up from the sofa, and said unhurriedly, "Yu Jiaojiao, if I can convince you, I have only one request—"
"oh?"
"Go to Thailand to get sex reassignment surgery."
Instantly, everyone in the private room fell silent.
No one could find a joking expression on He Jing's face, not even Yu Jiaojiao.
He Jing looked at Yu Jiaojiao with utmost seriousness and said, "I can pay for the expenses for you, but if you go back on your word, you'll know the consequences."
—True anger.
Yu Jiaojiao suddenly had a bad feeling. For a moment, she was afraid. Her heart was filled with fear. However, that fleeting fear made her feel ridiculous. She calmly raised her head and looked directly at He Jing, saying proudly, "Okay!"
So, He Jing made a phone call in front of everyone, and put it on speakerphone.
"Hello Mary, this is He Jing. I'm playing Truth or Dare with my friends right now. Tell my brother to turn off the lights in all the buildings of He's Group's properties. I'll call you back in a bit."
A respectful female voice immediately came from the other end: "Yes, Miss."
Then, everyone involuntarily looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Crystal Palace.
They waited, holding their breath, anticipating something, yet also fearing something...
Three minutes later, the once dazzling city gradually fell into darkness, the flashing neon lights went out, and the skyscrapers surrounding the Crystal Palace, as well as everything within the Crystal Palace, became eerily silent.
Immediately afterwards, the Crystal Palace also went out.
