She hung up the phone and began to think seriously.
As the only closed-door disciple of her master, should she really take on the responsibility of bringing honor to her master, even if just a little?
Jin Family. The source of this content ɪs noᴠelfire.net
When Yao Zhenqing, Yuan Rou, and Yaoyu Han left the Jin residence, it was already evening.
The two families had a very enjoyable conversation, and as they left the front gate, Yao Zhenqing even promised, "Don’t worry, Old Jin. As soon as our jewelry contract with the Fu Family expires, we’ll sign directly with the Jin Family."
"There’s no rush," Old Sir Jin said with a chuckle, then added with some concern, "Zhenqing, you really don’t need to do this. To be honest, I sincerely want to be friends with you and would hate to see you make an enemy of the Fu Family because of us. If you’re willing, just giving us another contract for the Jin Family would be enough."
Yao Zhenqing hastily gestured with his hands: "That’s absolutely not possible. Since we’ve agreed to collaborate, I must offer you the best! Otherwise, even if you don’t mind, I would feel uneasy."
The two exchanged a round of polite refusals.
Yao Zhenqing was very clear in his heart that Old Sir Jin was just testing him.
Only by completely cutting ties with the Fu Family would Old Sir Jin feel assured to deepen his ties with him.
Yao Zhenqing also knew he was moving a bit too hastily, but he was in a bind because his family had yet to gain a foothold in Huaxia, and voices of dissent had already started emerging within his family.
Behind him, his second uncle was eagerly looking for an excuse to pull him down from his position.
Compared to the uncertain future of the Fu Family, Yao Zhenqing had no choice but to side with the Jin Family, who had already secured the cooperation of Shi Liyun and had boundless prospects.
Once their car left the Jin residence, Yao Zhenqing couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
Yaoyu Han glanced at Yao Zhenqing and couldn’t resist saying, "Dad, aren’t we going a bit too far with this? And... The Fu Family has Brother Fu, has Professor Chi... I always feel that if we become outright enemies with the Fu Family, we may regret it in the future..."
Yao Zhenqing shook his head, not holding much hope for Professor Chi.
Failing to get even a nomination for the Beiding Ge’er Award showed that she had exhausted her talent; even if she achieved something in the future, she couldn’t possibly compete with Shi Liyun.
In the future, the entirety of Capital City and even Huaxia would be dominated by the Jin Family, in cooperation with Shi Liyun.
As for the Fu Family...
Old Sir Fu was already of that age, and his two sons were incompetent. Even Fu Si was just a dissolute son who knew nothing but indulgence.
Compared to the Jin Family with their exceptionally talented eldest daughter, a jewelry designer, he saw no hope...
Eldest daughter Jin Ran watched as the Yao Family’s car departed and expressed her concern, "Grandfather, I’ve heard that Fu Chengxun has recently been seeking opinions on a very promising jewelry design... It’s likely Zheng Xiu’s work. Do you think... Zheng Xiu might be planning a comeback at the Jade Appreciation Conference?"
Back in the day, Mrs. Fu’s designs, filled with spirit and a unique charm, had nearly shocked the world. Even though she hadn’t been in the scene for over twenty years, Jin Ran still felt uneasy.
Hearing this, Old Sir Jin turned to look at Jin Ran and laughed dismissively, "She hasn’t designed anything for over twenty years; it won’t be easy for her to make a comeback. Besides, with the head of the Yao Family helping us, who is also the vice president of the International Jewelry Association, what’s there to worry about?"
"What if Zheng Xiu still has her former level of skill..." Jin Ran remained unconvinced.
If Zheng Xiu could still produce designs of her past caliber, then in the face of absolute talent, not even the machinations of a Jewelry Association vice president would have any effect.
After all, no maneuvering matters in the face of overwhelming talent.
