Huang Wanzhen immediately put down her chopsticks and said angrily, "It's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to dispel them. Why am I good friends with Fan Hengming? I'm good friends with his mother! Mrs. Fan takes good care of me. This time, she was the one who took me to meet some people. I figured since I run a school, I'd inevitably have to deal with the government in the future, so it would be good to meet more people, so I went."
Su Jingyi quickly reached out and patted Huang Wanzhen's back. "It's all my brother's fault. Don't worry, I'll scold him for you when we get home and tell him to stop talking nonsense! Okay, don't be angry anymore. Su Jingyuan is just a big mouth."
Huang Wanzhen then picked up her chopsticks again, "Yes! Su Jingyuan looks so elegant on the surface, but I didn't expect him to be so good at talking about me behind my back. If it weren't for you and Sheng Yi's face, I would definitely write a post to scold him."
Su Jingyi wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to. Her face was distorted from trying to hold it in. She suppressed her voice and said, "Well, you're right."
After calming down for a while, Su Jingyi finally suppressed her laughter and looked at Huang Wanzhen cautiously, "You wanted to meet someone, but why didn't you tell us? You just didn't want to tell us. You and Wen Yin are so close, but why haven't you ever gone to a dance with her? Didn't you even give her the nickname 'Dance Queen'?"
Huang Wanzhen glanced at her sideways. "Hey! Wasn't Wen Yin in Beijing before?! She was there to handle any problems, so I didn't have to intervene. My knowledge of you was enough. Now, isn't she in Shanghai? I'm just thinking about 'preventing problems before they happen'!"
"Oh! I get it. You're feeling insecure. Wait, on Sunday, I'll bring my classmates to Linglong Pavilion to show you the way."
Huang Wanzhen picked up a piece of diced chicken with soy sauce and shook her head. "No need. Just introduce me to some girls who are studying in Beiman."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Huang Wanzhen didn't take it seriously as it was just a few simple words.
On Sunday, Huang Wanzhen was dumbfounded.
"Please come in, please come in, Miss Su, you haven't been here for a long time, your skin needs to be moisturized. Miss Lin, why do you have acne? Is it because you are under too much pressure? Xiaoyan, come and remove Miss Lin's acne."
Xiuqing was in high spirits as she greeted her old customers one by one. These customers had all been promoted from young ladies to wives, and their value had also increased a lot.
Lin Qinghui smiled and stopped Xiaoyan, pointing to a pretty woman beside her and said, "This is my cousin who just came back from the United States. I'm going to give her a full body beauty treatment. If you're good at it, you'll need to apply for a membership card."
Huang Wanzhen's confused mind suddenly became clear, and she recognized Lin Qingrou among the crowd of young ladies. She had forgotten the heroine and the hero for so long. Did she come back from the United States?
Lin Qingrou had a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, and under the eyebrows were a pair of affectionate eyes. She glanced at Huang Wanzhen lightly, and Huang Wanzhen shuddered.
"After so many years, I didn't expect that Mr. Huang's Jixiangtang would become bigger and bigger."
"Don't say that. This Jixiang Hall isn't mine. It belongs to our classmates. Everyone knows this. Our chairman's last name is Song, and I'm the general manager here," Huang Wanzhen said, feigning fear. "Please bear witness for me. I have no intention of replacing him."
The fashionable women were all laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter.
"We will bear witness for you."
"Don't be afraid, you are the deputy monitor, show your strength."
"My cousin didn't know, so she just said it. Don't take it seriously."
Huang Wanzhen no longer paid attention to Lin Qingrou and pulled Lin Qinghui over. "Your cousin's words made my heart tremble. Can you go and entertain her?"
Lin Qinghui smiled and said, "Okay, Wen Yin is not here, and you are too busy, so I will entertain you."
As soon as the words fell, Su Jingyi said, "Sit down, sit down, I called you here today, I am responsible for entertaining you."
Then he went out to order snacks and drinks as if he was familiar with the place.
Huang Wanzhen hurried to follow.
"Hey, Jingyi, why did you get so many people here?"
Su Jingyi whispered to Huang Wanzhen, "I'm here to support you. How's that? Isn't that a sign of loyalty?"
Huang Wanzhen stretched her head to look into Linglong Pavilion, "Very loyal." It's just that it's really unnecessary, and I still have to ask for your favor. Huang Wanzhen didn't have the courage to say the last sentence. But Su Jingyi was embarrassed, "Wen Yin went to Shanghai to study, you are missing a helper, what do you think of me?"
Huang Wanzhen suddenly understood what Su Jingyi meant. Huang Wanzhen had thought about this a long time ago because Su Jingyi had expressed this idea before, but because Song Wenyin was particularly opposed to it, it didn't work out.
"Hey, Jingyi, my words don't count. You know the chairman of the company is Wen Yin. She has to give her approval."
Su Jingyi pouted, "Wen Yin is wary of me like a thief. Now that she's gone, she won't let me help you."
Huang Wanzhen tried to persuade her, "Your family is a diplomatic family, and your brothers and sisters are all on the diplomatic path. You're good at foreign languages, so why do you want to go into business? Wouldn't it be great to be our country's first female diplomat?"
"Not at all." Su Jingyi shook her head. "All the family's resources are concentrated in the men. We women can only rely on ourselves. It's too difficult. My sisters were sent abroad by our family to study. After they came back from school, they were arranged to marry one by one. Now they are all good wives to their husbands. If I wanted to follow their path, I would have gone abroad to study long ago. I don't want to do that."
"Every road is difficult to navigate, and doing business is also quite difficult." Huang Wanzhen continued to persuade, "At least your family has connections in this area. Going the diplomatic route is definitely more convenient than others."
Su Jingyi looked into Huang Wanzhen's eyes seriously and said, "I didn't say I wanted to go into business."
Huang Wanzhen looked at her in confusion, "So what path do you want to take?"
Su Jingyi suddenly smiled. "I want to make my own money and support myself. I've made up my mind. When I save enough money, I'll go abroad and use my family's money to study. I can study as long as I can. By the time they find out I'm not coming back and cut off my support, I'll have established myself abroad and have a stable income. I won't have to succumb to them for a few dollars."
Huang Wanzhen's eyes immediately changed when she looked at her. It turned out that this girl had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
"You know my secret, so either help me or become my enemy. It's your choice."
Huang Wanzhen immediately covered her ears and said, "I have otitis media. I can't hear anything. I'm deaf."
Su Jingyi looked around, pulled off Huang Wanzhen's hands that were covering her ears, and strode towards Huang Wanzhen's office.
"Give me Song Wenyin's contact information. I'll try my best. If I can't, I'll let you go. Isn't that loyal enough?!"
Huang Wanzhen shook her head hesitantly. "If you find her, she'll definitely think I gave you the contact information, and I'll end up in a terrible situation."
Su Jingyi raised her hand and threatened her, "How bad will it be? Will I gouge out your eyes or break your legs?"
Huang Wanzhen thought about it and realized that Song Wenyin would at most scold her a few times, but she was not the kind of person who would betray her sisters. "Put your hands down first, so we can discuss things."
