Bursting out of the room, Lin Wenyu was livid. She ran onto the balcony, and from there, she glowered fiercely at that tall silhouette in the distance, almost cursing aloud.
It was then that she saw Tang Qianmiao getting into a black private car. At this point, her anger was diminished somewhat by the surprise she felt. Turning around, she called to her mother, “Mom, come here quickly and look at this, Tang Qianmiao has left with a man!”
“A man?” Yun Ruyi approached with hastened footsteps and looked at the car that was driving into the horizon.
“It’s a luxury car and it doesn’t belong to the Fengs,” Lin Wenyu quickly explained.
Marrying into the Feng family was her dream. For the sake of a possibility of that happening, she spent each day of her life getting herself ready for the moment. This included memorizing the car registration number and model of each and every car that belonged to them.
Squinting into the distance, Yun Ruyi said, “She’s already been kicked out by the Fengs. There’s no way that the Feng family would give her so much face as to send someone to take her home, unless she kowtows and admits her mistake. Otherwise, they wouldn’t allow her to go back. That car… ha, my guess is that it’s either a gigolo or a sugar daddy.”
“Mom, what do you mean? What gigolo and sugar daddy are you talking about?”
Yun Ruyi shot her a look and continued, “Don’t forget that your aunt has significant assets of her own. It’s impossible that she left nothing to Tang Qianmiao. If the girl has that much money, it’s not impossible for her to employ the service of a gigolo.”
Lin Wenyu nodded and mused, “That’s not a bad thing. Whatever it is, it’s fine as long as she doesn’t come back to stay. Better still if she doesn’t go back to the Feng residence either. She’s not good enough to be staying with them.”
Speaking of this, it was a sore point for her.
The Feng family was Beijing’s top familyーthe crème de la crème. In their lineage there had been military commanders and founding fathers, they ran a global business and were well deserving of being considered the top wealthy family of Country G.
Up until now, she had expended great efforts to even get to the point of becoming friends with members of the Feng family, whereas Tang Qianmiao had gone to stay with them just like that. Life was so unfair!
Sensing her daughter’s growing angst, Yun Ruyi said, “Let’s not obsess over this. Don’t worry too much, this is probably as far as she can get. I made a call to them after what had happened last night. Feng Chuchu thought that Tang Qianmiao stole something of hers. Eventually, they realized that it was a misunderstanding. However, Tang Qianmiao was still asked to leave. Don’t you see what this means?”
Perking up at once, Lin Wenyu could barely restrain the glee bubbling away inside. “It means that they don’t like her at all, and were just looking for a reason to throw her out!”
Yun Ruyi nodded and continued with a smirk, “She’s a mediocre student, you’re among the cream of the crop; she doesn’t know anything, but you’re multi-talented. She’s still a student while you’ve been selected by Eldest Young Master Feng to participate in the fragrance design work. Your future is bright, while she has already lost the game. You have nothing to worry about.”
A look of relief finally appeared on Lin Wenyu’s face after hearing this from her mother.
Her mother was a reputable fragrance designer and she had inherited her mother’s capable nature. Where fragrance design was concerned, she was talented too and had even won awards for it in the past. Hence, at the tender age of eighteen, she had already caught the attention of the Eldest Young Master of the Feng family and was offered a position in the organization to develop new products.
Weiss had always been the top-selling brand of perfume in the country, until the unexpected appearance of a brand called LM. They garnered great momentum and had managed to push Weiss down to the second position on a few occasions.
Her mission was to reinstate Weiss to the top position, as well as to help Eldest Young Master Feng succeed his grandfather’s business.
At the thought of this, Lin Wenyu’s pride was restored.
That’s right, there was no point picking bones with a nobody, that would only lower her own standing.
Yun Ruyi looked satisfactorily at her daughter and smiled. “Hurry up and get changed, you don’t want to be late. There will be many people at the auction tonight, your work will surely be the most unique and eye-catching, so I’m certain people will be vying for it. At that point, you will be the focus of the event, so make sure you look good.”
Lin Wenyu immediately hurried off to take a bath.

Meanwhile, in the quiet vehicle, Tang Qianmiao’s head was lowered as she scanned through the report.
Black Chicken was reporting to her as he drove. “Boss, LM has gotten ahead of Weiss again. They couldn’t catch up even though they had that massive handicap. This is awesome!”
As he spoke, Tang Qianmiao scanned through the final report with an unreadable expression. She remarked lightly, “The winner shouldn’t be arrogant, and the loser shouldn’t lose heart.”
“I understand that! But still, I’m really glad! A few years ago, Weiss was peerless where fragrance is concerned. Who would’ve thought that they’d be defeated by a newly-established company? That just makes me freaking ecstatic!”
Taking advantage of the red light, he turned to grin at Tang Qianmiao and continued, “But do you know what I’m looking forward to the most? I can’t wait to see the look on people’s faces when they find out that you’re the big boss of LM! Ha! That’ll be so interesting to watch! Imagine their faces! To think that a high school student is the mysterious big boss of such a fast-growing company.”
Ignoring the guy, Tang Qianmiao turned around and placed the report down, then drew out a book from her backpack and started to flip through it.
This was a notebook about three to four centimeters thick and filled with notes that her mother made when she was a fragrance designer.
Her mother loved designing fragrances. Ou tside of work, she would design all sorts of perfumes.
Flipping open the notebook, she pored over the pages.
Black Chicken suddenly piped up, “Boss, I heard that Old Master Feng wants to hand his business over to the next generation. So far there aren’t any details as to whom he’s going to hand it over to, but Feng Lie has already assembled a big team to start developing his new product. It doesn’t seem that Feng Xian has done anything yet, I think he’s looking for talents.”
“Does that make you nervous?” Tang Qianmiao asked casually.
Black Chicken laughed aloud. “Nervous? Why would I even be, when LM has a big boss? Let them search then, even if they turn G nation inside out they won’t find a greater fragrance designer than our big boss!”
“Brown noser. That won’t get you a raise. Save your energy and focus on your driving.”
“Ha, my salary is a few times that of most of my industry counterparts anyway, so I won’t hanker for a raise. I’m more than happy serving my current boss, hehe.”
Then as though he had just remembered something, Black Chicken said seriously, “Boss, are you going to the auction tonight?”
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Qianmiao said, “Do you have the lot list for tonight?”
Black Chicken immediately handed her the document.
The girl’s eyes flashed sharply as she scanned the list. Eventually, her gaze rested on an antique item.
“I’ll go.”
