Chapter 229 Mortal Enemy

After Jiang Yue and Fu Jin had lunch, Jiang Yue decided to go back to the villa and take care of some important business.

The merger was already in its final stages and Jiang Yue's grandfather had already approved the opening of Wang Empire headquarters in this country.

Since Jiang Yue was going to seriously take care of the business, she needed a proper secretary. She decided to have Shen Rong take that role. After all, Shen Rong was not only excellent with her job, but she was also very hardworking and intelligent.

For now, Jiang Yue was going to merge three companies: Wang Group, Wu Conglomerate, and Moon Corp. But Moon Corp was still going to be based in their country, while the new Wang Empire would be based in B Country alongside Fu Conglomerate.

With that in mind, Jiang Yue started working at her mini office. In this new Wang Empire, Jiang Yue would be the CEO while Wang Minghua was going to be the COO. He would be in charge of the company's everyday operations.

Aside from all of these, Jiang Yue also wanted to enter into the fashion world using the designs from Moon Corp. It had been proven a hit, so Jiang Yue wanted to create a specific clothing brand which would include all the merchandise for their current and future games.

And just like that, the week had passed.

The news about Ma Xuehui and Fan Linwen was still the most searched topic on the internet. The duo had already issued a statement about the matter, but it seemed useless to the people who were still mocking them. Aside from that, Ma Xuehui's prostitution and Fan Linwen's drug addiction also came to light.

Because of this, the two chose to stay at home to avoid all the reporters who had wanted to know more about these accusations. After all, both of them accused each other in these dirty things.

Then the Fan Family was also accused of using their chain of restaurants as a front for illegal business deals. There was even some evidence that had been sent to the police.

While this was happening, both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were working hard for their own companies.

The merger had been successful and Jiang Yue found a very good spot for their new office. It was a building next to the main office of the FC Oils. This place was prepared by Fu Jin specifically for the Wang Empire. He wanted to be as close as possible to Jiang Yue.

...

On the day of the Gala.

By now, the rumor of the new Wang Empire had already made its way into the ears of some prominent people. And although they thought highly of the Wang Group, they still couldn't help but show some doubts about Jiang Yue.

Especially, knowing that Jiang Yue was Fu Jin's fiance. Wasn't she just another female, who wanted to prove herself to her man? She should have just stayed at home and waited for Fu Jin to marry her.

Although some of the elite sneered at the idea of Jiang Yue being the CEO of such a big empire, many also applauded her bravery. In this generation, how many women were brave enough to become a CEO?

However, some people straight out rejected the idea of Jiang Yue lasting in the business world. Just like Fu Jin, she was young and inexperienced. Just how long would she last in a world ruled by men?

"So that Jiang Yue was not invited tonight?" A woman whispered to her husband.

"No, she does not qualify to attend events like this."

"Not yet." Another man interjected. "She has not been qualified a week ago. But now, she is more than qualified to attend this event."

"I agree."The woman nodded. "Such a brave and courageous child. I would love to meet someone like her."

This conversation did not go unnoticed by Jiang Mian who was just standing next to them. The gala had already started, but Fu Jin was still not here yet. She couldn't help but wonder if Fu Jin was going to skip this event.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. Of course, Fu Jin would come. It was a very good opportunity for him to build social relations with other businessmen. However, as time passed by, Jiang Mian seemed to feel more and more uncomfortable. Especially from the stares of the men across her.

Jiang Mian was no different than Ma Xuehui. She had also been with some influential men before. After all, Li Qiang had only shown that he cared about her when Wang Ruo was around.

When Jiang Mian had first started in the film industry, she was also helpless and clueless. Li Qiang had just given her a good agency and just left her there to 'learn'. He had told her that she needed to learn how to handle and seduce men and make them do her bidding. Because of this, Li Qiang had ordered her to accompany some businessmen and get some information from them as proof that she was able to manipulate them.

No matter how disgusted Jiang Mian had felt, she still felt that this should have been done, so she could contest against Jiang Yue. She had endured everything just to wait for this opportunity with Fu Jin.

When Li Qiang told her that he found a way to make Fu Jin come to B Country, she beamed with excitement. After all, this was her chance of revenge against her mortal enemy-Jiang Yue.
