Qin Qianqian hung up the phone and took Ye Shu’s hand, writing a string of phone numbers on her palm. "This is the number for the secretary of the chairman of the Beauty Group. As long as we sign a deal with Beauty Group, whatever the Han mother and daughter duo try to pull off will be futile. We’ll have a guaranteed win!"
"Beauty Group?" Handsome B exclaimed with joy, "Beauty Group is really popular overseas, especially in the United States. It’s almost monopolistic there. They have been working with many major brands for decades, and their sales volume is staggering. Many of the artists under my banner use cosmetics sold by the Beauty Group. However, I’ve heard that the CEO of Beauty Group, Tang Jingrong, isn’t easy to deal with."
Ye Shu said, "At this juncture, that’s the only path we have left. If Tang Jingrong is difficult to get along with, naturally, he’ll be very strict with others as well. Perhaps this could be an excellent opportunity for us."
"So tell us, Little Shushu, how should we fight this battle?" Having already grown accustomed to following Little Shushu’s line of thinking after they had embarrassed the Han mother and daughter at the previous wedding scene at the Sheng Old Mansion, Sun Nanjue was now waiting for her to give the orders.
"Let me think..." Ye Shu crossed her arms over her chest, her slender jade-like finger on her chin, pacing back and forth a few times before saying, "Let’s divide the tasks then. Big Commander B, you’re responsible for finding out the exact address of Tang Jingrong’s hometown. Director Sun, your job is to find out what illness Tang Jingrong’s father suffers from. Someone as successful as him would surely set aside his billion-dollar business to take care of his father, which means he must be very filial. The three of us women will be responsible for finding some useful items on Antique Street to give to his father."
"You want me to find the address?" Big Commander B frowned, not liking the task. "Isn’t that just sending me out to scout? Why do I always have to be the frontline soldier? No, I want to go with the village beauty!"
Ye Shu knitted her brows, "You refuse to be the frontline soldier? Fine then, Linlin and I will scout, and you can go with Qin Qianqian to buy gifts."
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t do that!" Big Commander B immediately regretted his words upon hearing he would have to go with Qin Qianqian. "Ouch, I’ll be the frontline soldier then, it’s settled. Little Village Flower, can you stop frowning like that? It makes me feel bad. Okay, I’m off!"
Seeing Big Commander B had already accepted his mission, Sun Nanjue stretched and said, "I should get going too. We’ll touch base later to confirm the meetup location."
"Speed is of the essence. Linlin, Qianqian, let’s move out immediately as well." Ye Shu said, grabbing her bag and heading out, with Ou Linlin responsible for closing the door behind them.
Chasing from behind, Qin Qianqian followed up with, "Sister Ye Shu, what did you used to do? Why do they all follow your instructions so obediently? It’s like you’re their boss..."
"Is that so?" Ye Shu smiled faintly, "Maybe it’s just our understanding of each other. I’m not their boss, but I’m their good brother. They’re just used to helping me out."
"Oh, a good brother!" Qin Qianqian sighed with relief, instantly feeling much more at ease. She had been afraid Ye Shu might have something going on with her Shuai Shuai. After several attempts to probe, she finally confirmed that Ye Shu was not a threat to her.
"Hey, wait for me!" Ou Linlin hurried after them, "Why are we buying gifts there, and not considering luxury stores? What are we looking for on Antique Street?"
Ye Shu replied, "Why go to luxury stores? Tang Jingrong’s family has plenty of money. Do you think his father lacks for anything? We don’t necessarily have to find some rare treasure on Antique Street. What we want to offer Tang Jingrong’s father is our genuine goodwill."
