Chapter 405: Celebrating the Official Opening

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya did not show up to the opening ceremony of Lanxin Cosmetics because she wanted to avoid running into familiar faces. She did not want her ident.i.ty as the owner of Lanxin Cosmetics to be exposed. However, she managed to catch a glimpse of the entire ceremony in Si Yiyan’s car.

Wen Xinya booked a private dining room in Ninth-Heaven and invited Li Mengjie, Qiu Yifan, and Ouyang Feng to dinner to celebrate the official opening of the Lanxin Cosmetics store.

“Let’s toast to the official opening of business!” Li Mengjie exclaimed confidently. She then poured a gla.s.s of wine for everyone.

Qiu Yifan said, “We’ve been preparing for such a long time, and we finally opened for business today. Of course we’d have to celebrate.”

Wen Xinya raised her gla.s.s and exclaimed with a smile, “Cheers!”

Ouyang Feng and Yan Shaoqing clinked their gla.s.ses together to produce a crisp sound. Everyone was in a joyous mood.

After exchanging toasts, Wen Xinya refilled their gla.s.ses and said, “You guys deserve credit for allowing Lanxin Cosmetics to open for business so soon. It’s been hard on you guys. Here’s a toast from me to y’all.”

She then chugged the gla.s.s of wine in her hands.

Everyone applauded joyously.

Li Mengjie was extremely agitated and began chugging several gla.s.ses of wine. Qiu Yifan grabbed the gla.s.s from her hand and scooped her a bowl of hot soup instead. “It’s bad to drink alcohol on an empty stomach. Fill yourself up with some soup first.”

Wen Xinya stared at Qiu Yifan and teased. “Brother Qiu, we’ve all drank alcohol as well. Why don’t you show us some concern too!?!”

Ouyang Feng then scooped a bowl of soup for Wen Xinya and said meticulously, “Xinya, here’s some soup for you.”

Li Mengjie turned red with embarra.s.sment at the teasing.

Qiu Yifan was not at all embarra.s.sed. Instead, he even continued helping Li Mengjie to the dishes and said, “Ignore them. They’re just jealous because you have someone who cares about you.”

Everyone burst into laughter, amused by how thick-skinned Qiu Yifan was.

Li Mengjie then brought up the details of the opening ceremony. Staring at Wen Xinya in immense excitement, she said, “Xinya, you should have told me that Teacher Zhou would be coming today, so that I could prepare myself mentally. You have no idea how fl.u.s.tered I got when Teacher Zhou asked me if I had already selected someone to cut the ribbon. I almost embarra.s.sed myself.”

It was a great honor to be able to invite Zhou Huiyan to attend the opening ceremony of Lanxin Cosmetics, let alone have her cut the ribbon.

Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “Aunt Zhou only mentioned that she would be bringing her friends along with her to the opening ceremony. I didn’t expect her to offer to cut the ribbon either.”

It was truly contrary to her expectations. However, she had received a pleasant surprise. She thought to herself, With Aunt Zhou around to help me publicize the brand, Lanxin Cosmetics will definitely be taken to greater heights. Seems like I have to find the time to thank Aunt Zhou properly.

Li Mengjie nodded and said in a moment of enlightenment, “Oh, I see. Did you know how many reporters were there for Teacher Zhou? The headlines tomorrow are definitely going to be something along the lines of ‘G.o.ddess of Grace Zhou Huiyan Attends The Opening Ceremony And Cuts The Ribbon For Cosmetic Store’!”
