“My friend told me,” Jian Yiling answered.

“What friend of yours can know XDL’s business secrets in advance?” the woman had an expression of disbelief on her face.

However, Jian Yiling stopped answering the woman’s questions. She did not feel obligated to answer them. These were her own private matters.

“Hey, I’m asking you a question. Can you not hear me?” the woman asked discontentedly.

Hu Jiaojiao huffed: “That’s our business. You can ask but we have the right to not answer your questions!”

Hu Jiaojiao’s mother: “Yes, yes. We can choose to not answer.”

Upon hearing this, the woman gritted her teeth and said: “Tch, who do you think you are.”

Then, she withdrew her eyes.

At the end of the launch event, Jian Yiling received a message on her phone.

[I’m glad that you were able to attend. I a.s.sumed that you wouldn’t be attending. Would you be free to have a meal together?]

[The launch was a success. Let’s have a meal together next time.] Jian Yiling replied.

[The launch was only a success due to its products. We’re still relying on you. When will you return to our research and development team to partic.i.p.ate in the development of the new product?]

[I’ve been quite busy lately.]

[Please contact me when you’re free. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the middle of the night. I don’t mind being woken up by you.]

[Send me a few boxes of the new product.]

[You can have as many boxes as you want. Are you sure you’re not free for a meal? Are you that heartless?]

[I’m not heartless. Next time.]

[Alright. Contact me whenever you’re free.]

Jian Yiling put her phone away. Then, she turned around to look at Hu Jiaojiao and Hu Jiaojiao’s mother who was howling in grief. They failed to purchase a lot of products today.

“Ahhh… The water for hair growth. Let’s buy it when it’s available on the official website. We must save your father’s hair loss!”

“Yeah. I will follow the official website closely. I want to see my father’s hair again.”

Hu Jiaojiao and Hu Jiaojiao’s mother were having a serious discussion about Hu Jiaojiao’s father’s hair loss.

At this moment, a woman b.u.mped into Jian Yiling.

As Jian Yiling backed away, the thin heel of the woman’s high-heeled shoes stepped onto Jian Yiling’s sneakers.

Jian Yiling raised her head and noticed that it was the woman who had been seated next to them.

The woman sneered contemptuously at Jian Yiling before she attempted to walk away. It appeared as though she had no intention of apologizing.

“Apologize,” Jian Yiling said as she stopped the woman.

She ordered the woman to apologize. However, as she spoke in a soft voice, Jian Yiling was not intimidating at all.

The woman laughed before she said: “Apologize? Why should I apologize? You’re blocking my way for no good reason. I will call the security guards.”

Jian Yiling: “You b.u.mped into me and then you stepped on my shoe. You should apologize.”

There was an obvious imprint from the heel of the woman’s high heels on Jian Yiling’s white sneakers.

“And so what if I don’t apologize? Do you plan to call the police? Well, go ahead!” the woman mocked.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao said angrily: “How can you be like this? You’re so unreasonable!”

“Well, you can go to the police! Tell them to go and sue me for not apologizing to you for stepping on your shoe.”

The noise caught the attention of the security personnel at the launch site.

They came over to maintain order.

“Excuse me. How can I help you?”

Hu Jiaojiao huffed before she explained to the security personnel: “This woman b.u.mped into my friend and stepped on her shoes.. However, she refuses to apologize.”
