Chapter 529: 337 to the Huo Family, the gift killer re-emerges in Jianghu

The car was driving on the road to Hexi, Tang Wan turned her head to look out of the window, where the early spring’s slanting sun had not yet set, casting an evening shadow all around, bringing a sensation of cool wind and cold water.

“Work didn’t go smoothly today?” Jiang Jinsang turned his head to look at her.

“Do you remember your high school classmate who became a celebrity from the last school anniversary?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Today, her team came to our studio. They want to collaborate and launch a line of co-branded jewelry, things like necklaces, earrings.”

Tang Wan’s studio was once obscure, but since the Cu Yu incident, it had become famous. Plus, since she was married to Jiang Jinsang, there were many who wanted to connect with the Jiang Family through her, and several sought to collaborate with them.

“You don’t want to collaborate with her?”

“A little, but her team offered very generous terms, and Uncle Chen is quite tempted. If this deal goes through, all the studio employees could receive a substantial bonus this year.”

Tang Wan leaned back in her chair and heaved a sigh. Initially, when she started this studio, it was purely out of passion, to earn some extra money to ensure she could comfortably eat and drink. But with more employees, and now people like Chen Zhi following her to Beijing, she couldn’t let them go hungry.

Doing business and making money is all about profit; you can’t just do what you like or don’t like.

“Why the sigh?” Jiang Jinsang looked at her, smiling.

“Doing business is really not easy.”

Tang Wan stretched her hand to her neck, “You didn’t take a wrong turn, did you? We’re supposed to pick up Auntie.”

“No.”

Shen Shuci had just found a job. Having lived abroad for many years, she was considered a returnee and had no trouble finding work at a joint venture company. With a three-month training internship, the salary and benefits were quite decent.

After signing the internship contract, she called Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang out to dinner.

Speaking of which, she was their elder. Since she’d been in Beijing, they had been looking after her. She had been too busy finding a job recently, and it was time to treat them to a good meal.

“Tonight?” Tang Wan was a bit surprised when she received the call, what special day was it that Big Brother Huo wanted to treat them, and her aunt wanted to meet today too?

“Do you have other plans?”

“How about tomorrow?” It would be rude to cancel on the Huo Family, as they had made plans last night.
