Chapter 690: The Limit of Being Shameless
Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
Tang Xiu had seen Mu Wanying’s father, Mu Jianhua, a man of striking appearance and laudable talents. It was just that he couldn’t think it through. Why Mu Wanying wanted to help him pay his debt. Could it be that his business went bankrupt?
“What exactly happened?” Asked Tang Xiu curiously.
“People say that scandals in the family should not be made public. But you’ll be my closest person in the future and I don’t want to hide it from you.” Mu Wanying bitterly smiled. “My Dad is kind of set in his own ways, a headstrongness that is unsuitable to run a business, I may say. He only managed a few businesses in the family, but those two small companies appeared to be in the red every year and he always asked a sum of money from me every year for the sake of his face. If anything, this is not the main concern since the most important thing is that… he has another woman other than my Mom, and children too, even though those half-brothers and sisters of mine are not recognized by the Mu House.”
Tang Xiu instantly understood. It was said that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family troubles. Yet, he did not want to express his own opinion since Mu Wanying’s mother, Jiang Zhenli, seemed able to bear it. After hesitating for a while, he patted her back and said, “Anyways, you can directly speak to me if you don’t have enough money later. Besides, you’re the woman I’m going to marry in the future, so I can’t leave you by yourself.”
A smile broke out in Mu Wanying’s face as she said, “Having your promise is already enough for me. But I still think that women still have to be self-reliant and independent. Also, the business I’m doing now is running well with quite remarkable annual profits, enough for my own spending.”
“Whether it’s enough or not, you still have to look for me first in case that you’re in need of money,” said Tang Xiu. “There are tons of things I need to manage recently and a lot of them require money, but I can still easily take out tens of billions of yuan.”
Mu Wanying faintly smiled and suddenly said, “Back when we first met in Tianjin City, didn’t you say that you’re very poor? I remember that you made money by selling calligraphy and paintings at that time.”
“Hahaha, I was really poor at that time, to be honest.” Tang Xiu laughed. “The Magnificent Tang Corporation had yet to make a profit and needed quite a lot of money to invest instead. Besides, I originally needed to buy some cultivation resources and that also required quite a sum of money. No, that’s not right. You couldn’t be wanting to settle an account with me, right? I recall making a lot of money from you back then.”
“Pfft… Hahaha.” Mu Wanying covered her laugh. “Never did I dare to have the idea to settle an account with you. You are now a super-rich man, so I will need you to support me in the future.”
Grace Regale Advertising.
Located in a bustling area of Hong District, the company occupied an entire floor of a dozen storied high-rise office building. The company only had a small number of employees, around 40, but the interior decoration was extremely extravagant and had its own unique style. It was Tang Xiu’s first time visiting the venue and it gave him a bright feel.
“You came, Boss. Anyways, Director Wei from Blessed Fortune Jewelry knew that you were coming today, so he brought his friend surnamed Zhang he mentioned before.” A slim female secretary wearing glasses and dressed like a college student reported respectfully after shooting a curious glance at Tang Xiu.
At the moment, Mu Wanying revealed her strong and capable side. She took the document handed over by the female secretary and asked, “Which reception room are they in?”
“No. 2,” replied the female secretary.
“Alright.” Mu Wanying nodded. “Call Manager Miao and tell him to go there first. Tell him I’ll be there shortly.”
Following that, Mu Wanying headed to her office with Tang Xiu. The office was nearly 100 square meters, and its interior design was very fashionable and luxurious. Behind the half-moon shaped desk were a row of wall-mounted bookcases filled with books and documents, while at the other end were two big and three small sofas with a tea table in the middle.
The most notable thing there was that there were a lot of potted bonsais giving off a vibrant feeling even though it was an office.
“Your office is quite great,” said Tang Xiu in praise.
Mu Wanying let out a smile and personally served Tang Xiu a cup of tea, and then said, “I’m going to see the clients first and then we’ll then go to the 18th floor! The client there… is the type that I hate.”
Tang Xiu instantly realized that that the kind of annoyance Mu Wanying mentioned should be a pursuer of hers. At this moment, he finally understood why she wanted him to accompany her to her company today. It was obvious that she wanted to announce to the others that the precious flower already had an owner.
Inside the reception room #2.
Right as Mu Wanying came inside, her brows slightly furrowed since she found that other than her longtime client Director Wei, there was also the other client, Zhang Danyang from the 18th floor’s Shunde Door Industry. As of now, 40% of the advertisement jobs in her Grace Regale Advertising came from the Shunde Door Industry, and even though it was not comparable to the advertising quota from Director Wei’s company, it was not a small client either.
“How have you been well Director Wei, Chief Zhang?”
