Shen Caidie parted ways with Gao Fei and headed straight back to the company, where she found her partner, Ye Xiaohong.
"Caidie, your timing is perfect; I was just looking for you," Ye Xiaohong, who appeared slightly older than Shen Caidie, had dyed her hair red. With heavy makeup on her face and wearing a low-cut dress, her every move exuded allure.
When it ca to looks and temperant, Shen Caidie was sowhat superior, but if one were to consider physique, Ye Xiaohong had the edge.
"What is it?" Shen Caidie asked, puzzled.
"Young Master Wang just called . He said today is his birthday and he's hosting a party at his place tonight. He specifically invited us to join..." Ye Xiaohong hadn't finished speaking when Shen Caidie interrupted her.
"You can go if you want, but I'm definitely not going," Shen Caidie refused without hesitation.
"What... what are you talking about! The main person Young Master Wang invited is you. I'm just a backdrop at most. How can you not go?" Ye Xiaohong frowned.
"Stop ntioning Young Master Wang to in the future," Shen Caidie huffed, "Now, just hearing those three words makes feel nauseous!"
"I really don't know what to say to you." Ye Xiaohong pursed her lips. "Even a fool can see that Young Master Wang likes you and wants to pursue you. Why can't you give him a chance? You shouldn't forget that Young Master Wang's grandfather is the Jade King. There are only three Jade Kings in the whole of Huaxia to date, and each of them is an extraordinary figure.
Just a little stomp from them, and the entire jade industry would tremble. If our company could get the help of Young Master Wang's grandfather, I'm sure we would leap forward rapidly and beco a top-tier company in no ti." As she spoke, Ye Xiaohong's eyes began to sparkle; she was a woman of great ambition who dreamt of becoming a world-renowned businesswoman.
"Even without the Jade King's help, I am confident that I can grow the company," Shen Caidie stated emphatically.
"Stop kidding yourself." Ye Xiaohong rolled her eyes. "You've been in the business world for several years now and should understand the rules. For people like us with not much of a background, success is incredibly hard!" At this point, Ye Xiaohong sighed. "I'm really tired! Every day I have to put on a happy face to entertain those stinky n, and sotis they even take advantage of .
Enough, I've really had enough! I don't want to continue like this anymore!"
Shen Caidie showed a trace of guilt on her face: "Xiaohong, I know you've suffered a lot over the years." The company was started by both of them together, and in principle, they should both be out entertaining clients, but Shen Caidie was very opposed to such things, so in the end, it fell on Ye Xiaohong to bear the burden.
Over the years, Ye Xiaohong had indeed made many sacrifices for the company, and it could be said without exaggeration that she was the biggest contributor to the company's current developnt.
"When I tell you this, I'm not complaining. I just want you to know that it is really hard for a woman to make a na for herself in the business world." Ye Xiaohong raised her head, not blinking as she looked at Shen Caidie: "Now, a great opportunity is in front of us, which is Young Master Wang! All you have to do is beco his girlfriend, and our company will be linked to the Jade King.
Then, we'll never have to endure other people's disdain or flatter those hypocritical n again."
"I understand everything you've said," Shen Caidie sighed softly, "The key issue is, I don't like Young Master Wang, not even a little."
"Actually, Young Master Wang is quite a good person, handso, courteous, and from a good family. He's definitely the ideal candidate for a husband," Ye Xiaohong earnestly praised Young Master Wang.
Shen Caidie said with irritation, "If you think Young Master Wang isn't bad, then you go after him. If you beco Young Master Wang's friend, you can also get help from the Jade King."
"I wish I could," Ye Xiaohong said with a wry smile, "but the key is he's not interested in ."
"Aren't you known as the slayer of young n? Haven't you said there's no man you can't handle?" Shen Caidie retorted, "So how co you can't even handle a Young Master Wang now?"
"It's because of you," Ye Xiaohong huffed, "Young Master Wang has eyes only for you! He's devoted all his attention to you, barely giving a second glance at other won." Continuing, Ye Xiaohong added sowhat self-deprecatingly, "And you can laugh at all you want, I've tried seducing Young Master Wang before, but he didn't even bother to give a proper look. It was a real blow to my pride.
Sure, I may not be as pretty as you, but I have a great figure. Sleeping in my arms at night is definitely extraordinarily comfortable."
"The more you talk, the more out of line you get." Shen Caidie gave Ye Xiaohong a stern look, "You're a woman, so you should speak more modestly. Don't be too... you know."
"Can modesty be eaten as food? Can modesty be spent as money? Can modesty grow the company?"
"Let tell you, I've already found a way to grow the company."
"Oh? What way?"
"I bumped into soone today, a Gambling Stone expert. His na is Gao Fei, and he's very young..." Shen Caidie briefly recounted her encounter with Gao Fei. "With my sincere invitation, Gao Fei has agreed to serve as an honorary consultant for the company. Whenever he has ti, he'll co over to help us appraise stones. Of course, we will have to pay a certain fee for the appraisal."
"Is he really as miraculous as you say?" Ye Xiaohong clearly didn't believe it.
"When have I ever lied to you in all the ti we've worked together?"
"So what you an is... just by relying on this Gao Fei, whose background we know nothing about, the company can grow big?"
Shen Caidie nodded firmly, "Yes! I ask you, what's the essential condition to grow a company?"
"Of course, it's jade raw materials," Ye Xiaohong answered without hesitation. "As long as we have sufficient jade raw materials, we can quickly take over the market. In a few years, the company can beco a top-level corporation."
"Gao Fei can bring us those ample jade raw materials," Shen Caidie said with a smile.
"Are you so sure about that?"
"Certain! Because Gao Fei is a very skilled Gambling Stone expert!"
"No matter how skilled he may be, can he compare to the Jade King?"
"Is that even comparable?"
"Why not? We could clearly get help from the Jade King, but you insist on seeking help from so unknown nobody. Do you know what that is? You're putting the cart before the horse! Caidie, please snap out of it. Don't make any more mistakes." Ye Xiaohong pleaded earnestly.
"Enough, don't talk about it anymore," Shen Caidie said with a trace of displeasure on her face: "I'll tell you one last ti, don't bring up Young Master Wang in front of again. I would rather stay single for life than marry him!"
"You..."
"Now state your position. Do you agree to let Gao Fei be the honorary consultant of the company or not?"
"I do not agree," Ye Xiaohong shook her head decisively.
Shen Caidie frowned, "Why don't you agree?"
"No reason, I just don't agree!" Ye Xiaohong huffed.
"Are you just doing this to oppose ?"
"Say what you will, but I simply don't agree!"
"Ye Xiaohong!" Shen Caidie stood up, pushing the chair away: "Can you please stop being unreasonable? What I am doing is for the good of the company!"
"If you truly cared about the company's well-being, you would marry Young Master Wang! Beco the Jade King's granddaughter-in-law!" Ye Xiaohong, undeterred, stared at Shen Caidie: "You're already twenty-eight, not young anymore. It's ti you thought about your lifelong happiness. In my opinion, you are a good match for Young Master Wang, and you would be truly happy marrying him!"
"What kind of benefits did Young Master Wang give you for you to defend him like this?"
"He gave no benefits! I think well of him because he is a good person, from a good family..."
"That's enough, I don't want to argue with you anymore!" Shen Caidie waved her hand away: "I'm asking you now, do you agree to appoint Gao Fei as the honorary consultant of the company or not!" Initially in a good mood, Shen Caidie was completely upset by Ye Xiaohong, who ntioned nothing but Young Master Wang! What's so great about that Young Master Wang?
Is it just because he has a grandfather who is the Jade King? There's nothing so impressive about that!
"I do not agree!" Ye Xiaohong's tone was very firm: "Even if you ask a hundred tis, my answer will remain the sa! I don't agree! I simply don't agree!!!"
Shen Caidie needed a lot of willpower to suppress the rage boiling in her chest, and she looked at Ye Xiaohong, speaking word by word: "I asked for your opinion because I respect you! But... your behavior has deeply disappointed ... utterly disappointed... Ye Xiaohong, you have changed, completely changed; beco materialistic, unreasonable, and soone I feel very estranged from!"
"Society is constantly changing," Ye Xiaohong said with an unpleasant expression: "If we don't make so appropriate changes, we'll be eliminated by society."
"That's enough, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now," Shen Caidie sighed with fatigue: "Even if you disagree, I will still hire Gao Fei as the honorary consultant."
Ye Xiaohong's eyebrows rose, "What do you an by that?"
"Don't forget, I am the major shareholder of the company, owning seventy percent of the company's shares, and you have only thirty percent. According to the company's regulations, I have the direct authority to make appointnts, and you cannot stop , even if you disagree." After saying that, Shen Caidie turned around and left.
"Shen Caidie! You will regret this!" Ye Xiaohong's angry roar ca from behind.
"I will prove to you with facts that my choice is right." Shen Caidie opened the door and left without looking back.
"Crash..."
Ye Xiaohong swept everything on the desk onto the floor, her face turning green with anger: "I'm furious, really furious... Shen Caidie! You will regret this! You will definitely regret it! Soone as stubborn as you will never achieve great things in the business world! I was blind to have partnered with soone like you to start a company!!!"
This was the first ti they had had such a heated argunt since they t.
From today onward, a rift had ford in their relationship, and nding it would be difficult.
