Very soon, the renovation was complete.
Xia Ling reluctantly sent her brother away and organized an opening ceremony.
On the opening day, the building was bustling with activity. The red carpet at the entrance was filled with different flower baskets sent by fans, the media, friends and distinguished people from all walks of life.
Standing in the sea of flowers, she wore a silver silk and satin dress which was as eye-catching as a painting.
From time to time, arriving guests shook her hand, hugged her, and congratulated her on the opening. She saw a black Rolls Royce stop in front of the door and a man got off it. He was tall and wore a black formal suit. He looked cold and majestic. At once, the media representatives went into a frenzy taking photos of him.
It was Pei Ziheng.
Now, he was chasing her even more seriously. Xia Ling knew that he would definitely appear during a big day like this and was not surprised.
When he bent over and hugged her out of courtesy, his tall figure almost enveloped her.
The cameras of the media representatives flashed non-stop. Beside her ear, he said, “Congratulations.”
She smiled lightly. “Thank you.”
He looked at her with a pair of deep and quiet eyes. “I have a gift for you.”
“Chairman Pei, you’ve already sent a flower basket over.” She said very politely.
“Flower basket? That’s prepared by the public relations department.” Pei Ziheng’s voice was very gentle. He took out something from his pocket and placed it in her palm. He placed a very small USB driver in her palm. It had a very chic crystal butterfly design.
She looked at it and did not immediately accept it. Instead, she asked, “What’s inside?”
He said, “Some experiences I had in the past when starting Imperial Entertainment. Perhaps you may find them useful.” He knew that she was very simple and was afraid that she would not be able to deal with the company’s operations. Even though Lin Yunan was assisting her at the side, he did not know if he could be trusted. As such, he compiled some of his past projects and reworded them using terms that she could understand.
Xia Ling did not know how to react.
At the side, the media and famous celebrities burst into an uproar. Everyone knew that Imperial Entertainment was a giant in the entertainment world. The chairman of the board of directors of Imperial Entertainment, Chairman Pei, had been in charge for more than 20 years and his experiences were priceless. So many people were willing to go bankrupt in exchange for his knowledge. Did he just give them all to Ye Xingling so easily?
She was really... a femme fatale!
His ex-wife was really different!
People already started gossiping. Was Chairman Pei really chasing after Ye Xingling again like what was written in the tabloids? It was said that Phoenix Down Corporation was worth more than 10 billion yuan. How could a female celebrity get so much money? Could it be that Chairman Pei was secretly supporting her?
A storm brewed in the crowd’s hearts.
On the other hand, Pei Ziheng seemed interested in adding fire to the stormy sea. He elegantly and warmly said to her, “You can look at all of the experiences here. If you don’t understand anything, you can always look for me.”
This...
Is true love!
Everyone exclaimed in their hearts. There was nothing truer than this love! Many couples from eminent families would not even tell each other their wealth and be forever on their guard. But Pei Ziheng? He gave everything away so easily! Miss Ye, you should marry a man like him!
Many nosy people in the crowd thought that they had reconciled.
However, Xia Ling smiled lightly. “My company is not as big and complicated as Imperial Entertainment. I don’t think that I will need to learn from your experiences. Thank you for your kind intentions, but I won’t be accepting it.”
The crowd went wild. She was actually not accepting it?
Many people scratched their heads and really wished they could help her accept it. Even if she could not use it, she could still sell it for a high price!
In the hustle and bustle, Pei Ziheng remained calm. “You aren’t accepting it? I will lose face in this crowd.”
Xia Ling was speechless. What is this Pei Ziheng? A threat? However, looking at the hidden darkness in his eyes, she really had to succumb to his threat. This man really did too much for her and had a good intention. How could she embarrass him in front of so many people?
She lowered her head and accepted the USB driver.
Only then did a slight smile appear on his face.
The onlooking crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Exactly, she should just accept such a good gift. Ye Xingling, did you know that you’ve struck gold? The USB driver containing the experiences of Imperial Entertainment that he sent you? He was telling everyone covertly that he is your company’s backing!
This only happens in ridiculously good dreams...
Initially, before the opening ceremony, many people doubted her ability to operate a business as an inexperienced female star. Now, unknowingly, they stopped criticizing her.
Xia Ling asked someone to escort Pei Ziheng to the lounge and continued to welcome guests at the entrance.
Feng Kun, Wei Shaoyin, Luo Luo and others came. All of them congratulated her and gave her gifts.
She stood at the entrance for a long time to welcome the never-ending line of guests. Her feet started to ache.
Not far away, a red sports car stopped and a girl got off. She wore a gorgeous and colorful dress, had exaggerated and thick makeup, and was pushing her way to the front. It was Gu Lin.
Xia Ling slightly frowned.
Gu Lin walked up the stairs and looked at the company’s signage. The three words “Phoenix Down Corporation” were simply and beautifully written like a piece of art. Thus, she frowned.
How was this b*tch Ye Xingling worthy of such a good company?!
On the surface, she smiled and looked at Xia Ling. “Congratulations.”
However, Xia Ling was not very polite. “I did not invite you.”
The media and the surrounding crowd started to whisper again. It was said that they were in the same circle and the Gu Financial Magnate was quite powerful. How could it be that Ye Xingling did not invite her?
Gu Lin laughed sarcastically. “Ye Xingling, that’s where you’re wrong. Remember when you first started out? You had nothing and fell out with others such that you almost couldn’t make a comeback. If the Gu Financial Magnate did not pity you and give you the Meteor Wings endorsement, do you think that you’d be where you are today?”
She was unkind.
Miss Gu always came to provoke others and stir trouble. Everyone knew that she was here to strike Ye Xingling.
Xia Ling naturally also understood, but she was never afraid of an argument in her life. She sneered and said in a clear voice, “That’s right. I really have to thank Old Master Gu’s astute eye for giving the Meteor Wings endorsement. Later, it was proven that he didn’t choose the wrong person. This was a win-win collaboration. I heard that with my endorsement, Meteor Wings created a miracle in the history of perfume sales. When the endorsement ended, the sales of Meteor Wings fell a lot.”
The surrounding crowd started to whisper again. She was right. After that, Meteor Wings’ sales fell and many people commented that it was because they lost Ye Xingling as its endorser. Everyone knew who was the one who helped who out. At once, everyone started to look at Miss Gu with some contempt. They heard that Ye Xingling did not continue her endorsement with Meteor Wings because she could not get along with this braindead lady.
This caused much loss for the Gu Family.
This Gu Lin was literally a failure of a daughter.
