Chapter 569: Successful First Step (2/2)

After Lin Jing left, the showcase had lost its purpose. The jewelers all left one by one; they needed to go make a statement that they had nothing to do with Bao Hwa anymore. They didn't think Xinghe was kidding with her warning. If they continued cooperating with Bao Hwa, Xi Empire would really come after them.

Things had changed, Xi Empire was now the de facto leader, aligning with Bao Hwa would only bring about their own destruction.

Plus, it was not like Lin Jing was a saint. She had not treated them kindly while she was at the top and forced them to lick her boots. They were overjoyed that Bao Hwa was coming down.

This was their chance to shine because someone would have to rise to take the top spot Bao Hwa had vacated. Looking at how Lin Jing was face-slapped at the showcase, everyone knew what Bao Hwa's future entailed.

Alas, this was only the beginning for Xinghe.

”Sis, that was awesome! That Lin Jing is so angry that I thought her head was going to fly off. One word: amazing!” Xia Zhi gave her two thumbs up and praised her endlessly.

Even Ou Yang Qin couldn't help but smile. ”Miss Xia, I don't think Lin Jing will just let this be. The Lin family is a force to be reckoned with as well; you have to be careful.”

Xinghe nodded. ”I know. Mr. Ou Yang, thank you for your help this time.”

”No need for thanks, we're allies, aren't we?” Ou Yang Qin said with a smile, glad that he had chosen the right person to ally himself with.

This woman sure is impressive.

Initially when Xinghe sought him out to issue a collaboration with Ou Yang Family, he wanted to reject it. He had low confidence in Xi Empire without Xi Mubai. However, Xinghe managed to convince him with her brilliance and the proof of Country Y's diamond commission. Eventually, he chose to cooperate with her.
