CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 81 GIVING YOU AN ORDER

After leaving Cui’er Company, the Shangdong Group team was in an uproar; they couldn’t believe Cheng Yang betrayed them at this critical moment.

Wei Xueqing said with a stern face, "Zhou Lan, take everyone back to the hotel and leave tonight!"

"What about you?" Zhou Lan looked worriedly at Wei Xueqing.

Wei Xueqing shook her head and said, "Don’t worry about me, just get everyone back!"

"Alright!" Zhou Lan instructed everyone to get into the car.

Yang Chen walked over and told the driver their destination in Lancy Language, and they quickly set off.

Then, the two of them sat in the car without leaving.

As soon as they got in the car, Wei Xueqing smiled at Yang Chen and said, "Did you do that on purpose just now?"

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "You could say that."

"Did you already know that Cheng Yang and the Blue Maple Group were in cahoots?" Wei Xueqing continued to ask.

Yang Chen shook his head, "No, I wasn’t sure either, but I suspected the Blue Maple Group’s quick arrival had something to do with Cheng Yang. If Cui’er Company wanted multiple companies to bid, they would definitely notify several companies at once to get better terms, rather than bringing in another company while we hadn’t finished negotiating."

"So you deliberately provoked Cheng Yang to make him act out?" Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen earnestly.

Yang Chen felt uncomfortable under Wei Xueqing’s gaze, rubbed his nose, and said, "Pretty much."

"So in a fit of impulse, Cheng Yang will pressure the Blue Maple Group’s leader to quickly sign the agreement?" Wei Xueqing continued.

Yang Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled, "They’re already here."

Wei Xueqing turned her head to look back and saw several Citroens parked at Cui’er Company’s door. Soon, the people from Blue Maple Group got out of the cars and entered Cui’er Company.

"How did you know those were their cars?" Clearly, Wei Xueqing’s attention was more on Yang Chen than the Blue Maple Group people.

Yang Chen smiled while looking out the window, "I said before, a Guard must have excellent reconnaissance skills, or else they’ll be cornered. Before we arrived, these Citroens were parked by the roadside. When we left, they were gone, and now they’re back. They must be from the Blue Maple Group."

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s analysis, Wei Xueqing was amazed.

Excellent observation skills!

"Where are we going now?" Wei Xueqing said a bit disappointedly, "Cui’er has completely failed. Soon the old project will be halted, and I should consider transitioning to other industries while grabbing a Zhang Group project. Otherwise, Shangdong Group is really about to collapse."

"It won’t!" Yang Chen told the driver, "Head to Fifth Avenue."

Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen, puzzled, not knowing where he was taking her.

Yang Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I’m taking you somewhere special."

Ye Xin had asked him to help her best friend secure this project before leaving. If he went back empty-handed, he’d be lucky to avoid punishment, let alone get a reward.

He really couldn’t handle Ye Xin’s twelve-centimeter stilettos!

With curiosity, Wei Xueqing sat in the car with Yang Chen and arrived at Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue is next to the Great Arch; it’s a very old street. The weathered walls didn’t look shabby but instead exuded a strong historical vibe.

At the street corner, the two got out of the car, and Yang Chen led Wei Xueqing inside.

They passed through a small alley and reached a place resembling a warehouse.

At this time, Yang Chen stopped by an iron staircase, turned around, and said to Wei Xueqing, "Go on up!"

Wei Xueqing glanced around, frowning, "Yang Chen, I don’t think it’s a good idea to visit a bar right now."

Yang Chen helplessly shook his head; even if Wei Xueqing was in a bad mood, he wouldn’t take her to a bar for a drink in broad daylight. Moreover, with Wei Xueqing’s drinking capacity, she’d be knocked out by the bar’s liquor aroma before even starting to drink.

"You’ll know once you go up." Yang Chen said.

Judging by Yang Chen’s expression, Wei Xueqing knew this wasn’t a bar.

She couldn’t help but pout, "What is it, being so mysterious?"

At this moment, Wei Xueqing’s emotions were quite peculiar. Despite losing such a big order, putting Shangdong Group in crisis, she didn’t feel too upset. Instead, it felt like a heavy stone weighing on her heart had been lifted, making her feel much lighter.

Thus, Wei Xueqing’s current state was much more relaxed, even showing some playfulness characteristic of a young girl.

Wei Xueqing carefully climbed the stairs and came to the iron door on the second floor.

Yang Chen walked up, extended his hand to twist the door open, and gestured for Wei Xueqing to enter.

Wei Xueqing glanced inside, it was pitch black, and she felt a bit scared. She looked at Yang Chen and said, "Yang Chen, I’ve been best friends with Ye Xin for over ten years. You better not sell me, or you won’t be able to explain to Ye Xin when you get back."

Yang Chen was slightly exasperated, "If I sold you, your dad would kill me. Just get in there."

"Oh!" Wei Xueqing pouted and carefully walked inside.

Once inside, Wei Xueqing found that the walls were covered in fabric. Although the lighting was dim, she could still tell that these fabrics were not ordinary.

Yang Chen closed the door and walked over, lifting the fabric in front to reveal a corridor, "Go on in!"

To Wei Xueqing, it felt like entering the Grand View Garden. Seeing the walls filled with fabric, although they weren’t trimmed or altered much, the various colors surprisingly gave a sense of art.

Once she stepped out of the corridor, Wei Xueqing was astonished, covering her mouth in surprise.

"The Wedding of Time, it’s Frank Gregory’s ’Wedding of Time’! My god! How is this here?" Wei Xueqing exclaimed.

She was also a fashion enthusiast and followed the annual Cheng City fashion show closely.

Last year, this ’Wedding of Time’ was the highlight of the Cheng City fashion exhibit, designed by the renowned fashion master Frank Gregory.

Frank Gregory is known as a fashion genius, and many celebrities yearn for Frank Gregory to make them a dress, but it’s hard to acquire one even with massive compensation.

Even so, during moments like the Bean City Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and Water City Film Festival, when many celebrities gather, many top-tier celebrities are dressed in custom outfits from Frank Gregory.

It’s safe to say that Frank Gregory holds a significant portion of the fashion world!

Seeing the ’Wedding of Time’, Wei Xueqing couldn’t contain her excitement. She quickly walked out of the corridor, pushed aside the fabric blocking the end, and saw a group of people bustling around the hall.

Many mannequins were randomly placed, people were taking measurements from them, and some were busy at sewing machines.

This was clearly a workshop!

Wei Xueqing turned her head to Yang Chen, full of surprise.

Yang Chen gestured and said, "I didn’t expect after three years they are still here. Just right, I lost you an order, so I’ll give you another one."
