Gutian’s face turned red with anger, “I, Gutian, have been in the industry for more than thirty years and enjoy a good reputation. If I have ever done something against my conscience, let me die a terrible death. On the other hand, your Jiade Group has been experiencing management chaos, and this kind of thing has happened more than once. Just that in the past, you were able to cover it up with money. This time, it was not so easy to settle because it happened to involve Ms. Zhu and Madam Jiang. I request Madam Jiang to investigate thoroughly and not give any opportunities to those trying to take advantage.”
Zou Dawei pointed at Gutian’s nose, “Old man, shut up!”
“Enough.” Jiang Chunlan coldly interrupted, with a glance at Zou Dawei, who subconsciously shrank his neck.
“Whether your Jiade Group is innocent or not, we will find out after the investigation. Go back and wait for the notice.”
Zou Dawei’s face immediately turned pale, and he wanted to say something more, but Jiang Chunlan had already left with her people.
“Zhu Mingjing.” Zou Dawei shouted angrily.
Mingjing paused, looked back at him, and asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Zou?”
“You’ve made quite a scene tonight, young lady. But do you know what price you’ll have to pay for this?” Zou Dawei’s eyes were gloomy and sinister, like a venomous snake.
Mingjing smiled lightly, “Is Mr. Zou threatening me?”
“Mingjing.” Shen Zhou walked over to Mingjing’s side and glared coldly at Zou Dawei.
Shen Zhou? Zou Dawei’s heart tightened. Who on earth was this Zhu Mingjing that both Jiang Chunlan and Shen Zhou valued her so much?
“Mr. Shen, the innocent will be cleared in the end. I believe the truth will come out one day. Let’s go.”
Mingjing looked at Gutian, “Master Gutian, you’ve been through a lot tonight. I’ll be the host one day, and I hope you’ll honor me with your presence.”
Gutian said with a guilty conscience, “I wouldn’t dare refuse Ms. Zhu’s invitation.”
Madam Shen glanced at Mrs. Gu, “Madam Gu, did you enjoy the show?” Mrs. Gu glared at Mingjing and left in a huff.
Gu Qingshan looked deeply at Mingjing. Mrs. Gu turned back halfway to glare at him: “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
Gu Qingshan noticed Madam Shen and Shen Shaojian’s suppressed laughter, smiled awkwardly, and left quickly.
“Ms. Zhu, it’s too late tonight. I’ll go back first, and we’ll make an appointment later.” Madam Shen hurried away with Shen Shaojian.
Shen Shaojian nodded at Shen Zhou before leaving with Madam Shen.
The tea room suddenly quieted down. Zou Dawei stood in place for a while before his secretary walked over with a mobile phone, “Mr. Zou, it’s the president’s call.”
Zou Dawei’s face changed, and he picked up the phone nervously, “President…”
“This whole thing was stirred up by a girl named Zhu Mingjing. Both Madam Jiang and Shen Zhou seem to have an unusual attitude toward her, and even that old man Gutian was won over by her. Madam Jiang won’t let it go so easily. Fortunately, Master Xiao denied it, or the consequences might have been even more serious.”
Whatever was said on the other end, Zou Dawei’s face gradually became grave, “I understand. Please rest assured, President.”
“Jiade Group won’t let this go easily. Those foreign enterprises are ruthless, so don’t go out if it’s not necessary.”
From the gate of the tea house to the gate, there was a distance of more than a hundred meters. The street lights cast shadows of the two that stretched far.
“I understand.”
Shen Zhou glanced at the girl beside him, raised an eyebrow as if thinking of something, “Could it be that you’ve also seen the genuine article?”
Many people ignored a detail – the reason why the counterfeit dared to circulate was because the other party must be very confident that no one could identify it as a counterfeit, believing that nobody had ever seen the real thing. Gutian was an exception, since he was in this line of business. He was also a
smart man, who wouldn’t offend someone owning a Narcissus Basin. Tonight, he was forced to do what he did.
But what about Mingjing? How could she know?
There was a strong possibility that Ran Tengxiao was lying, and everyone knew why he lied.
The real question was that Mingjing had no connection with Ran Tengxiao or Ran Bowen. When Ran Bowen died, Mingjing was just four years old and still Imocking wooden fish on Baitou Mountain.
Mingjings silence seemed to answer something, yet it seemed to answer nothing at all.
She was a nun and never lied or wanted to deceive him.
However, many things were inexplicable.
Suddenly, the rain came without warning. Shen Ke shouted urgently, “How did it suddenly start raining? Quick, get in the car.”
The car was parked at the gate, and the two were still more than fifty meters away from the gate..
