Chapter 448
When Chen Wei heard that Ye Yuning was looking for a supernatural medium, she said with determination, "Okay, I’ll find out who the most powerful medium is right away."
She truly felt that her boss had been too unlucky recently and definitely needed to address it properly.
After hanging up Chen Wei’s call, Ye Yuning lay in bed and rolled around with the quilt a couple of times.
This is so annoying!
「Meanwhile, at the Xiao Family’s side.」
Xiao Linye heard first thing in the morning that the boss of Manlang had declared the day before that if he didn’t see her, she would come every day.
He had initially planned to let that woman off just once, out of consideration for his own little girl.
But now, this incident had made him even angrier!
However, most of this anger had dissipated by the time he left the meeting.
He no longer brought up the matter of Manlang, but the operations below were already in motion.
He picked up the phone to call Ye Yuning.
The call was quickly answered, and Ye Yuning’s muffled voice came through, "Aye."
Her lazy tone instantly dispersed all of Xiao Linye’s displeasure, leaving no trace behind.
He asked softly, "Have you woken up yet?"
"Still so tired. When did you leave?"
"Around 8:30. You were sleeping, so I didn’t wake you."
"Oh, I want to sleep some more."
"That tired?"
"So tired..." How could I not be?
Listening to the weariness in her voice, Xiao Linye couldn’t bear to disturb her further.
He only said softly, "The auntie in the kitchen prepared breakfast and left it for you. Eat when you get hungry."
"Alright, got it."
After that, Ye Yuning hung up the call.
She was actually already awake, but because she harbored resentment and didn’t want Xiao Linye to hear it in her voice, she had ended the call with just a few sentences.
Ye Yuning rolled around in bed several more times.
Eventually, she sat up and scrolled through various numbers in her contact list.
So Seventh Master Xiao wants to make it impossible for me to stay in Upper City? Then I’ll let him see with his own eyes just how I establish myself here! Even if all my partnerships in Upper City are gone, I don’t necessarily have to work only with clients here. What about those outside Upper City? I refuse to believe the entire world is afraid of him, Seventh Master Xiao!
She started making calls at ten in the morning and didn’t finish until two in the afternoon, so hungry her stomach felt stuck to her back.
She had no choice but to get up. Unable to even wait to wash up, she went straight to the kitchen, grabbed the breakfast, and started eating.
Just as she took a sip of porridge, Chen Wei’s call came in.
"Boss~!"
"What now?" Ye Yuning went numb all over as soon as she heard Chen Wei’s voice.
She felt like Chen Wei’s weekend calls were starting to traumatize her.
As soon as Chen Wei heard the tone of her voice, she quickly said, "This time, it’s good news!"
"You? Bring good news?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Chen Wei was taken aback.
"What do you mean? Are you saying all your bad luck is my fault?!"
"I didn’t say that!"
She didn’t bring the bad luck, but she’s the one who delivers all the bad news. Isn’t that pretty much the same thing?
Without waiting for Chen Wei to speak, Ye Yuning asked first, "Did you find the medium?"
"Yes, I found one!"
Of course, I need to find a medium.
The recent streak of bad luck had been suffocating Ye Yuning.
She even wondered who had brought this bad luck to her. It seemed to have started ever since Ye Tong returned to the Ye Family...
It’s true the Ye Family wasn’t good to me before, but after Ye Tong returned, the troubles have become endless!
And now, she suspected that Ling Yan was orchestrating Ye Tong’s return to the Ye Family.
This whole series of events is related to Ye Tong. So, could this bad luck have been brought by Ling Yan? Don’t blame me for thinking conspiratorially! In my world, Ling Yan is simply not a good person.
"So the ’good news’ you’re talking about is finding the medium?"
"Of course not! Finding a medium hardly counts as good news!"
"Then what is it?" Ye Yuning snorted.
If Chen Wei hadn’t said it wasn’t about the medium, she wouldn’t have believed she could have any other good fortune.
Chen Wei said, "The Xiao Family’s side even sent Simon a warning, obviously meaning they want Simon to cancel the contract with us."
Simon? Ye Yuning thought of Gui Xingli.
Every time I meet her, Gui Xingli’s attitude is always strange. Even when she’s being her gentlest, it’s still weird! If I remember correctly, wasn’t Seventh Master Xiao rumored to be involved with her last time? He has scandalous rumors with Gui Xingli, and yet the Xiao Family still has Qi Mulan, their acknowledged prospective daughter-in-law. If Gui Xingli could actually fall for a man like that, I’d think I was seeing ghosts!
"Did Simon reply?"
"He did. He just called me and said there’s a project he’ll give us, and he asked you to visit Simon. Isn’t this the strongest response to the Xiao Family?"
Speaking of this, Chen Wei’s tone was full of satisfaction.
In the past few days, after the Xiao Family had released such news, she had received nothing but calls demanding contract cancellations.
All those people were so afraid of the Xiao Family!
Finally, there was someone who stood up against the Xiao Family, allowing Chen Wei to experience firsthand that there were people in the world who were not afraid of them.
That’s business for you; there’s always someone more powerful! What the Xiao Family did this time was simply unethical.
Hearing that Simon had stood up so strongly against the Xiao Family, Ye Yuning finally showed a hint of a smile. "Exactly. Everyone in Upper City may be afraid of the Xiao Family, but those outside Upper City? Who can say for sure!"
So, I was right to immediately shift my market focus outside of Upper City. It just means that great designers like Ma Di and Lei An will probably have to travel a lot for business from now on. The Xiao Family wants to crush me just because of one ’old man’ comment? Well, then I’ll just have to live well and show that scoundrel!
