Ou Minghan was stunned. Chang Yu's words made too much sense for him to refute!
He couldn't help but say, "But didn't you also pretend to be drunk last time to chase him, using this method to trick him into sending you back to the hotel?"
Chang Yu let out a cold laugh. "Even a peacock knows how to fan its tail when courting. What's wrong with me using a few little tricks and schemes when I'm chasing someone?"
The mention of this matter made Chang Yu feel unlucky.
She had been truly embarrassing that night. Although Qi Xuan did send her back to the hotel, he didn't get into the car with her! She only found out afterward that Qi Xuan had gone to hitch a ride with Ye Zhi.
It was then that she realized, she was fanning her tail for Qi Xuan, only for Qi Xuan to be fanning his tail for Ye Zhi?
From then on, she gave up. A man whose heart belonged to another woman would never cherish her, even if she managed to win him over.
"But it's Ye Zhi who's with him!" Cen Ya said unwillingly. Seeing Chang Yu look at her with confusion, she quickly and flusteredly explained, "I, I mean, the opponent is Ye Zhi. If you don't fight for it now, you'll have no chance later!"
"So what if it's Ye Zhi? Do you know how much Qi Corporation's stock price has risen since Qi Xuan and Ye Zhi officially announced their relationship? Because Taoxun isn't listed, those capitalists can't just send money, so they're all pouring it into Qi Corporation! Even the companies that Qi Corporation invests in have seen their stock prices surge! Now, even if Qi Xuan wants to break up with Ye Zhi, he'd have to see if the shareholders agree... Wait a minute," Chang Yu, who had been speaking enthusiastically, looked at them suspiciously, "You two suddenly coming over to instigate me, you're not trying to break up Qi Xuan and Ye Zhi, are you?!"
Seeing Chang Yu instantly become the guardian of Ye Zhi and Qi Xuan's love, Ou Minghan and Cen Ya found it utterly ridiculous.
Facing Chang Yu's scrutinizing gaze, Cen Ya could only force a smile. "How could we? We're just thinking of you, we just didn't think it through, but our intentions are good..."
"Even if your intentions are good, please don't act on them," Chang Yu said coldly. "If you know what's good for you, then leave on your own accord! Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you respect and asking you to leave in an unpleasant manner!"
Ou Minghan and Cen Ya's faces immediately turned extremely unpleasant. Chang Yu obviously didn't have the ability to kick them out. However, Chang Yu's father was a director of Qi Corporation. If she went to tell her father that they wanted to break up Ye Zhi and Qi Xuan, wouldn't that be equivalent to them offending the directors of Qi Corporation?
"Let's go!" Ou Minghan snorted coldly. He made a decisive move and led Cen Ya away.
Outside the reception, Cen Ya felt extremely wronged. It shouldn't have been like this...
When encountering such an arrogant and conceited bad woman who wanted to drive them out of the reception, shouldn't they have revealed their identities at the critical moment, letting the bad woman know she had offended someone she shouldn't have, and then everyone at the venue would know they were there because of this incident, and come to greet them one by one?
Why were they the ones leaving dejectedly now?
"Ya Ya, let's go. Sooner or later, I'll make them regret their decision today!"
Ou Minghan made a fierce vow, but Cen Ya didn't pay much attention.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Minghan, my studio is planning to focus on private custom orders, so I want to hire a renowned designer to be in charge."
Ou Minghan immediately felt annoyed. This was why he didn't want Cen Ya to get involved in business. Renowned designers were not people you could just hire. If she truly put her heart into her career, how much money would it cost?
Cen Ya never understood these things before. She just spent her days drawing sketches and making clothes. Who was it that told her something, making her even think about the development direction of her studio?
"Ya Ya, those renowned designers are very arrogant, and they don't like to be controlled. If you really hire them, you'd be spending money to help them achieve their careers!" Seeing that Cen Ya didn't seem to be listening at all, Ou Minghan continued to persuade her, "Instead of making them successful, you should forge your own fame! There are many world-class competitions about to be held. I'll sign you up, and you can win more awards. Then, you'll be a renowned designer yourself!"
Cen Ya was silent for a moment. She frowned and said, "It's not that easy to become a renowned designer. Since you don't want me to hire renowned designers, then help me. Let me apprentice myself to those renowned designers and learn design from them!"
Ou Minghan was so angry he almost spat blood. Becoming an apprentice wasn't that easy either, and it would cost money! That's why he hated women getting involved in business the most. Why couldn't she just be an ignorant woman, revolving around men all day?!
But if he persuaded her any further, Cen Ya might get angry, and he would have to waste energy coaxing her.
"Ya Ya, don't worry, I will help you achieve your dream!" Ou Minghan said affectionately. "However, those designers are proud and arrogant, and it's not easy to become their apprentices. Can you wait patiently for a while?"
"Minghan, I knew you were the best to me." Cen Ya was deeply moved.
Afterward, the two of them left directly.
At the reception hall, Chang Yu's father, Chang Zhou, came to her side and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, come, let's go meet President Ye."
"I won't go," Chang Yu refused with a shake of her head.
"My child, you have such an opportunity to befriend President Ye, and you're refusing?" Chang Zhou's face immediately turned grim.
"Dad, President Ye and I are not in the same circle!" Chang Yu rolled her eyes. "Even if I truly became friends with her, do you want me to call her out every day while she's at work to go shopping, buy things, and have afternoon tea with me? Is this befriending her, or making an enemy of her?"
Chang Zhou was stunned. Thinking about it, what she said made sense. He couldn't help but sigh, "Tell me, you, look at President Ye. She's about the same age as you, maybe even two years younger. Why can't you learn from President Ye..."
"Dad, stop with the 'compare yourself to other people's children' routine!" Chang Yu argued logically. "You know my capabilities. If I really learned from President Ye, you'd be crying too late!
Given our family's situation, even if I squandered for a lifetime, I might not spend all the money. But if you want me to start a business, are you prepared for the possibility of my business failing and our family going bankrupt?"
Chang Zhou: ...
Annoying, but her words were so reasonable that he couldn't refute them at all!
"You'd better behave yourself!" Chang Zhou said helplessly. Then, he walked towards Ye Zhi.
"President Ye, President Zhan," Chang Zhou greeted them with a smile.
Zhan Ruoqing proudly straightened her back. Last year, people still called her "Young President Zhan," but this year, many people were gradually starting to call her "President Zhan."
