The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

He “thud” stood up abruptly, “You… how did you come here.”

Chief Chen, who was originally talking to Ji Heng, also stood up.

Jiang He sat down beside Shen Qing, Bai Lian sat next to Jiang He, and Jiang Fulai took the seat next to Bai Lian with ease. He lazily pulled out a chair, greeted Ji Heng with a nod, and then glanced over at the two men: “Sit.”

He tapped the table with his hand.

Only then did Chief Chen and Shen Min cautiously sit down, with Chief Chen still managing alright, but Shen Min dared not even drink his tea anymore.

Jiang Fulai never appeared in public, and his identity was also kept in absolute secrecy, indeed not many people recognized him, but Shen Min had seen him when he visited the Chen Family.

Xu En, observing the demeanor of Chief Chen and Shen Min, speculated that Jiang Fulai’s identity was no simple matter, but it did not match any of the people he knew.

He composed himself and said to Ji Heng, “The ceremony is about to begin.”

Ji Heng put down his smoking pipe, straightened his clothes, and followed Xu En backstage.

Soon he would be sending Ji Mulan into Xu En’s hands.

As soon as Ji Heng left, both Chief Chen and Shen Min didn’t dare to speak. Tang Ming didn’t dare to sit next to Jiang Fulai and let Ning Xiao sit down, while he himself sat next to Shen Min.

It was only then that Shen Qing took out two fruits from his pocket, handing one to Bai Lian and the other to Jiang He.

“What is this?” Bai Lian looked at the small green fruit curiously.

“It seems to be called a mini kiwi,” Shen Qing knew Bai Lian probably hadn’t eaten it before, “I asked the hotel staff and found out, it’s very sweet.”

Jiang He bit into it without looking up.

He said nothing.

Bai Lian had heard of kiwis, yet she had never tried a mini one. She placed the report on the table, and as she ate, she described the taste of the mini kiwi to Shen Qing.

Seeing that Bai Lian liked it too, Shen Qing finally smiled.

On the opposite side, Chief Chen finally found an opportunity to speak with Bai Lian, “I heard from Mr. Mao that Yan Lu has been confirmed as the image spokesperson? Will the follow-up sales be able to keep up once the promotion starts?”

He was talking about the spokesperson for the Solid Element Paste.

The Solid Element Paste was originally circulated only within Backter Street, with its effects quite powerful. The batch produced in cooperation with the Chen Family was of normal efficacy.

Launched into everyday life, it was too potent for the average person. Bai Lian and Xiaoqi had readjusted the formula and price for the market release. Backter Street didn’t need advertising, but facing the masses, establishing a solid brand image wouldn’t be easy.

Choosing Yan Lu as the spokesperson was Xiaoqi’s idea, and although Bai Lian felt that the Solid Element Paste didn’t quite match Yan Lu’s image, Yan Lu agreed to sign directly with Xiaoqi once he heard it was her product.

A bargain price, yet introducing an unfamiliar medicine to the general public for acceptance was no easy task.

Xiaoqi started with the farmers cultivating medicinal herbs to promote the Solid Element Paste.

Yan Lu did not have much fame now, but he still brought in some income.

“Right,” Bai Lian finished the mini kiwi and took the tissue Jiang Fulai handed her, casually wiping her hands, and addressed Chief Chen, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any issues with Yan Lu. I’ve been to the farmland myself, the soil there is very suitable for growing traditional Chinese herbs.”

At this moment, Chief Chen realized that Bai Lian had actually surveyed the land for growing medicinal herbs.

Of course, he did not know that not only had she done that, but Bai Lian had also taken out a million from the funds provided by the Bai Family to give to the farmers as the first batch of capital.

He was merely curious, not quite understanding how Bai Lian had won over “Mr. Mao” and his group, he had a slight indication about Yan Lu, but “Mr. Mao’s” group was not so easily influenced.

Chief Chen himself also led people, managing dozens under him, and sometimes he was so exhausted from handling them.

Whereas Bai Lian seemed hardly to manage at all, yet it seemed everyone was very convincing toward her, and at this moment, Chief Chen had forgotten that he was also one who trusted her.

Beside him, Shen Min did not dare utter a word.

Hearing Chief Chen address Bai Lian as “Miss Bai” and seeing Jiang Fulai passing her a tissue, he no longer dared to lift his head, always fearing he might be ambushed.

The host’s voice rang out.

Welcome the guests and introduce the bride and groom.

Accompanied by the music, Ji Heng led Ji Mulan forward.

The banquet hall’s lights had been turned off, leaving only the dazzling lights of the main stage. Bai Lian, with one hand on the report, slightly turned her body to watch Ji Heng leading Ji Mulan forward.

Today, Ji Mulan was dressed in a trailing wedding gown tailored to fit her figure, with a white veil extending to the hem of her dress, her brow bones and nose dusted with gold leaf, reflecting dreamy light under the main stage’s bright lamps.

Ji Mulan never oppressed herself, and the years had barely left any traces on her face.
