Chapter 535: Everyone has something to teach us.
It was inevitable, she knew, that some of the younger girls were simply here for that reason.
"Both."
"Jun Muyang."
There was a mixture of responses from the suddenly chorus answers and she raised her hand up and closed her fist, asking them to keep quiet.
"I would have loved to speak to you but this conference is not for me alone to learn, it’s also for you. Since yesterday you have heard from CEO’s and female presidents of companies and I am no different from any of them. I can stand up here and tell you all about how I started from the bottom and now I am here but you will not be hearing anything new from me that they haven’t said already. In fact it will be shameful of me to do such a thing. This conference is for women in business stretching across all walks of life, not just CEO’s and presidents. I personally asked Miss Wei Yuesong to come and speak because you can learn more from her than you might from me. So I am going to urge you to put down your premature judgements and unwarranted disappointment and listen to a woman who might change the direction of your life. This will not be our last conference, it’s only the beginning so you will get many more opportunities to hear me speak. This said, I humbly request you to put your hands together and welcome miss Wen Yuesong genuinely."

"I have said nothing but the truth and more to the point, there are many aspects to my wealth I would rather not speak about. You and I know how I started, I blackmailed Wu Liang as a paparazzo and sold alien technology for seed money. I was never planning to speak at this conference but I never wanted to share that fact with anyone because they would become nosy and wonder why."
On the podium Wei Yuesong was smiling and proudly holding her head up now. "The first thing you should know about me is that I am widow."
That was not the way everyone expected her to begin her speech, it was none of their business but they went along with it anyway.
"The second thing you should know is that I sell fish in a market for a living."
