“But I can’t always rest! I have to do something. Although my education level isn’t very high, I’m still a university student. I can’t waste my life.” Zhang Meng’s words were soft and weak. This could easily make a man like Xu Yuning’s heart soften.
“Think about what you want to do. Don’t go out and work. Do something yourself. I’ll invest in you.” Xu Yuning took a bite of the lamb chop.
“Thank you, Yuning!”
“There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. It’s not much money either.” Xu Yuning was naturally generous. After all, he was rich. Even if he gave Zhang Meng the chance to start a business many times, he would be able to take it out and not take it seriously.
“Alright, I’ll do some market research in the next few days.”
“Take this card. There’s more than a million yuan in it. Use your spare money and buy some supplements to nourish your body. When I’m not so busy, I’ll buy you a car.”
“No need. I’m not in a hurry to use a car. It’s very convenient to take a taxi or call Didi.”
It was not that Zhang Meng did not want it, but she knew that she could not ask for so much at once, lest she arouse Xu Yuning’s disgust. This way, Xu Yuning would feel that Zhang Meng was not a woman who valued money that much. She truly loved him. A man like Xu Yuning did not lack anything. He would not have high expectations of a woman like Zhang Meng. As long as she liked him, was loyal to him, and relied on him, it was fine.
On the second day of the banquet, Mrs. Li arranged to meet Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai often accompanied Mrs. Li to play mahjong, drink coffee, and shop at the mall, so she did not feel surprised that Mrs. Li looked for her. When she was halfway through her coffee, Mrs. Li suddenly said, “I don’t think Jiang Youyi is that bad!”
Mrs. Li was shocked. She had said a lot of bad things about Jiang Youyi in front of Mrs. Li so as to make Mrs. Li hates her. Moreover, there were many segments of the banquet that Jiang Youyi didn’t know about. They had deliberately arranged it to embarrass Jiang Youyi. They even announced the banquet list in advance. Jiang Youyi had to come even if she didn’t want to.
The two of them knew these things better than anyone. Why would a big shot like Mrs. Li specially make things difficult for someone of Jiang Youyi’s status?
It must have been Mrs. Bai’s words that made Mrs. Li hate Jiang Youyi.
Who would have thought that Jiang Youyi was so smart? Even after so many obstacles, she did not manage to stump her. Instead, she was in the limelight and surpassed Bai Bing’s performance at the banquet.
Mrs. Bai didn’t say anything. Mrs. Li beat her to it and said, “For this coming-of-age ceremony, my Tianxin likes Jiang Youyi’s gift the most. She listened to that record for a long time at night before she was willing to sleep. Tianxin has had everything since she was young. She only accepted what others gave her politely, but this time is different. She likes that record very much. It’s really rare.”
“I think this is precisely because Jiang Youyi is scheming. How could she know for no reason that Tianxin likes that record? She must have investigated it before. Isn’t she a little too scheming?”
Seeing that Mrs. Bai had changed her opinion of Jiang Youyi, Mrs. Li immediately badmouthed her again. But this time, Mrs. Bai would not believe her so easily.
“She should have investigated, but this proves that she values Tianxin. My family doesn’t have much contact with the Jiang family. I still feel bad that I suddenly accepted such a precious gift. I heard that that record is worth a lot of money. Even if you have money, it’s difficult to get it.”
Mrs. Bai wasn’t a fool. She could tell that Mrs. Li liked Jiang Youyi now, so she didn’t dare to badmouth her anymore. Besides, it would be very easy for others to suspect that she was deliberately targeting Jiang Youyi. “Yes, what you said makes sense. Jiang Youyi won first place in the auction. Are you and Secretary Li going to meet her?”
Mrs. Bai changed the topic and stopped dwelling on it.
“Speaking of this, Old Li and I feel like we owe her!”
“Why do you say that?” Mrs. Bai was puzzled.
“Jiang Youyi doesn’t want to meet Old Li alone at all. She said that she’s afraid of delaying his work. This child really doesn’t have any crooked thoughts. You have to know that all those businessmen wanted to meet my Old Li and ask him to help them. However, Jiang Youyi doesn’t want to meet him at all. It can be seen that her values are still very upright.”
“She gave up such a rare opportunity?” Mrs. Bai had never thought of it.
“Yes! Why would I lie to you? Is there a need?”
Mrs. Bai was at a loss for words. She had just said bad things about Jiang Youyi, but she did not expect her to be so magnanimous, making her seem a little unqualified..
