Even a clay figure has a bit of temper, let alone Meng Yu, a living person.

Rong Huahua, as her agent, always claimed to have her best interests at heart, yet continuously forced her to do things she didn't want to.

Indeed, sometimes it was for Meng Yu's own good, but this time it was simply too much.

Knowing full well that Zuo Chenggong had ulterior motives, she still wanted to cooperate. Isn't that like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

When Meng Yu mentioned firing her, Rong Huahua was utterly shocked as if hit by a bolt from the blue! She was merely a distant relative of Meng Yu, the kind who normally had no role in her life.

But when Meng Yu became famous, she sought her out through family connections and became her agent, earning quite a bit of money over the years.

Now that this cash cow no longer wanted her, wasn't that like going from riches back to poverty?

She quickly put on a pleading face and said, "Meng Yu, in terms of seniority, I'm your elder sister. You can't do this to me!"

"When I was a nobody, did your family acknowledge me as a relative? When my family was driven out of Celestial Capital, did you help us? Now that I'm successful, you claim kinship, isn't that hypocritical?" Meng Yu said coldly.

Liu Zixuan was right; such a person is better off fired! Keeping someone like her around is nothing but trouble! Sooner or later, they'll become a menace!

Rong Huahua wanted to say more, but Meng Yu directly interrupted her, "There's no need to say anymore. The money you've earned over these years is enough for you to return and run a small business."

"Meng Yu! Do you really think you're so great now that you're a star?" Rong Huahua's expression suddenly turned sour.

She knew Meng Yu wouldn't retain her, so there was no need to beg further!

Meng Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, "Get out!"

"Fine, you're kicking me out, right? You'll regret it one day!" Rong Huahua said and then swiftly ran out.

Meng Yu clenched her fist and pounded on the table a few times. Ever since Zuo Chenggong appeared, her life has become a mess, filled with various frustrations!

...

On Liu Zixuan's end, the press conference was an unprecedented success.

Many visiting observers from other industries highly praised it! With such a popular product, many began proactively getting to know Liu Zixuan.

This is probably another unspoken rule of the business world!

After a busy morning, Liu Zixuan invited everyone out to a restaurant for a big feast, and in the cooler afternoon, arranged for the villagers to be sent back.

Originally, Hu Lijing wanted to stay, but the company wasn't set up yet and was still unstable, so she had to return first.

In the end, only Liu Zixuan, Liu Ruyan, and Zhu Yi remained.

"If you two have things to attend to, you should head back first. I've already rented a place, and once renovated, it can serve as our flagship store for Xiumei Underwear in Ghost Wood City. I'll also prepare a physical company, and all future decisions regarding Xiumei Underwear will be made here!"

Hearing Zhu Yi's words, Liu Zixuan smiled, "No rush, Ruyan said she hasn't been to Ghost Wood City yet. I plan to take her around to buy something to bring back. Brother Zhu, it's really all thanks to you! Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Zhu Yi shook his head, "Now you're just being polite. We're all brothers, no need for that. Besides, you're just lazy. If you wanted to run a business yourself, with your capability, you'd definitely be better at it than me."

"Brother Zhu, stop flattering him, or he'll get cocky!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your date anymore. I'll head back to the hotel to rest. Call me if you need anything!" Zhu Yi said and then left by car.

Liu Zixuan took Liu Ruyan's delicate hand, "Honey, where do you want to go browsing?"

"I heard that all industries in Ghost Wood City are pretty developed. I want to have a look around." Liu Ruyan said with a light smile. After all, for girls, there is always that novelty and curiosity about a new place.

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, "Well, there should be a goal. We can't just wander aimlessly!"

Liu Ruyan thought for a moment, "I heard there's a jade shop here. Let's take a look. I want to buy a few jade pendants for Sister Lian and Doudou. We've been living at her place and haven't brought any gifts yet!"

"Alright, then to the jade shop it is!"

When Liu Zixuan finished speaking, he asked a passerby for directions and headed towards the jade shop.

Ghost Wood City, as the largest trade center in the surrounding area, encompasses almost every industry.

Jade is one of its specialties!

It is said that the jade from Ghost Wood City supplies the national market, with a complete variety and especially high purity!

After about ten minutes, Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan arrived at a street dedicated to jade shops.

They parked the car by the roadside. Looking ahead, to the left were jade shops, and across were processing shops, almost all of which were partnered together.

It formed a quite complete business chain!

"Let's look around, with so many shops, there should be something we like," said Liu Zixuan.

"Mm."

The two started from the first shop on the street, but after checking four or five shops, the jade stones were mostly similar, and there wasn't anything that particularly appealed to them.

When they reached the fifth shop, Liu Zixuan stopped.

A piece of jade about the size of two palms caught his attention!

This jade glowed with a clear lustre without any impurities.

Most jade stones, though made from pure material, have certain impurities that make them less than perfect.

Such a uniformly colored, flawless piece was extremely rare.

Liu Zixuan led Liu Ruyan inside; like him, she immediately took a liking to the jade.

She said to the owner, "Can you show us that piece of jade?"

"Sir, you really have a good eye." The owner smiled, handing over the jade. "This just came in today—white jade, known as the king of soft jade! Honestly, I was thinking of keeping it myself. Look at this texture: perfect, without a single impurity. It's rare to see such a piece in many years!"

Liu Zixuan nodded. He understood what the owner was saying and inquired, "How much for this jade?"

"You had an immediate connection with this piece at first sight, how about four million?" the owner suggested, watching Liu Zixuan's reaction.

Before Liu Zixuan could respond, Liu Ruyan frowned, murmuring, "So small and it's four million! That's too expensive!"

"It is indeed too expensive," Liu Zixuan concurred.

"Boss, I'll buy this jade!" Just as they were discussing the price, suddenly a man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with strikingly handsome features, walked over from the side. He took the jade from the owner's hand and turned to Liu Ruyan. "A fine jade for a fine lady. Miss, how about I give you this jade and we become friends?"

Damn!

Liu Zixuan was immediately displeased. Daring to flirt with my wife right in front of me?
