Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 74 Ms. Lan's Scoundrel Disciple

Shen Wancheng nodded and continued Gu Jinxing's words.

"Okay, I'll tell my grandfather tonight in advance."

A rare smile appeared on Gu Jinxing's usually cold and stern face.

"it is good."

Shen Yao, who was standing to the side, was unhappy.

"Can you please just ignore my existence?!"

Shen Yao walked to Shen Wancheng's side, took Shen Wancheng's arm and said.

"Sister, am I not your closest relative? Why wasn't I the first person you wanted to tell about something this big?"

"Don't you already know that now?"

"I overheard it unintentionally; you didn't tell me on your own initiative."

"I don't want to tell you that you couldn't possibly have overheard this by accident."

Shen Wancheng waved to Shen Yao, "Go back to daydreaming, Gu Jinxing and I have something to talk about."

Shen Yao originally wanted to say that she would sit here and listen to whatever was going on, but she saw that Shen Wancheng's joking expression had changed.

She then put on a pitiful expression and returned to the French windows.

However, Shen Yao stopped staring at the French windows and lost in thought, and instead listened attentively to Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's conversation.

She vowed to become more useful and stop being pampered like a child by Shen Wancheng.

Since Shen Wancheng kept her in the room, it meant he didn't intend to avoid talking to her.

Gu Jinxing asked, "Is there anything else?"

Shen Wancheng carefully considered her words.

"I'd like to ask you at the last banquet when you said you would sever the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families. Was that just talk, or has it actually been severed?"

Gu Jinxing looked at Shen Wancheng in surprise.

“You don’t seem like the kind of person who would come to act as a mediator for the Xu family.”

Shen Wancheng smiled. "You're right, I'm not. What you're saying is that it's really interrupted now? Or perhaps paused?"

Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow and answered bluntly.

"pause."

Shen Wancheng said in a strange tone,

"Taking the opportunity to change or improve the terms of cooperation, I am the culprit behind this change. Mr. Gu, what a clever tactic."

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I'll sever all ties with you after this is done."

"No need. I'd be happy if the Xu family knew that I caused such a huge loss. Even though it wasn't due to my abilities, it's still because of me. I like it when they hate me and refuse to be a nice guy."

Gu Jinxing chuckled softly.

He nodded again, agreeing firmly, "Okay."

Shen Wancheng added, "Since the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families has been suspended, I hope that the export shipping of leather watches will eventually resume."

Gu Jinxing paused his light touch on the armrest, staring at Shen Wancheng as he asked.

"You want to get involved in this kind of industrial production?"

Shen Wancheng nodded, "More or less."

"I thought you looked down on this kind of low-return industry."

Low-return industries?

Shen Wancheng certainly wouldn't engage in low-return industries.

While the real economy in Hong Kong, such as suitcases and watches, does indeed offer low returns, Shen Wancheng's ambitions are not to become an OEM manufacturer for overseas brands like Xu's Industrial.

Shen Wancheng aims to create a luxury brand of her own in China.

Currently, some of the marketing strategies employed by high-end luxury brands overseas, such as brand value creation, sales allocation, and scarcity marketing, are not yet systematic, and some have not even been proposed yet.

Since these brands in later generations could make hundreds or thousands of times more money than the value of their products through these strategies, Shen Wancheng felt that she should be able to as well.

In this way, Shen Wancheng's involvement in industrial production would not be considered low-return at all.

Shen Wancheng said, "I have indeed set my sights on the commodity manufacturing industry. As for whether it has low returns, that depends on the individual."

Gu Jinxing chuckled again and commented.

"As confident as ever."

Shen Wancheng does not deny that "confidence comes from strength."

Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow and agreed, "Fine, I can terminate the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families in this regard. But even if I terminate it, the Xu family's order may not necessarily belong to you. What are you going to do next?"

Shen Wancheng blinked. "It's a secret."

Gu Jinxing shook his head and chuckled.

Shen Wancheng stood up. "We've finished talking, so Yao Yao and I will be leaving now."

"The afternoon tea desserts at this club are very popular with girls. Why don't you try them before you leave?"

Knowing that Shen Wancheng had finished discussing her matter, Shen Yao came over again.

"How do you know girls like this? Do you really understand young girls?"

“I own this club, so I naturally know what kind of people it is.”

"Oh."

Shen Yao was temporarily satisfied with Gu Jinxing's answer. She whispered to Shen Wancheng, "Sister, why don't we try it before we leave?"

Shen Yao wanted to observe Gu Jinxing further to see if he was qualified to be her brother-in-law, so she spoke up to keep Shen Wancheng.

Shen Wancheng thought that Shen Yao had been in Hong Kong for so long but had never tasted desserts from this era, so she nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinxing was still in a wheelchair.

He said that if you could try the dessert, you could move to a private room.

Shen Wancheng thought that since she and Gu Jinxing had decided to get married, it was time to show the public that their relationship was good, so she took the initiative to push the wheelchair.

Shen Yao pouted and made a face behind Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing.

Because of the view from the previous private room, Shen Wancheng assumed that the desserts in this club were also Western-style, but she didn't expect that the next private room would be entirely in a Chinese style.

The entire private room was antique in style. Even though Shen Wancheng didn't know anything about antiques, he could tell that the furnishings were not ordinary.

However, what attracted Shen Wancheng the most was a landscape embroidery hanging in the hollowed-out middle of the wooden curtain.

Shen Wancheng stared at the embroidery for a long time.

Gu Jinxing took the initiative to ask, "Are you interested in embroidery? Although this piece is not double-sided embroidery, it is still a masterpiece of Suzhou embroidery."

Shen Yao suddenly asked, "Could it also be a work by that Ms. Lan?"

Upon hearing Shen Yao's question, Shen Wancheng also looked at Gu Jinxing.

"So you knew about Ms. Lan. It was indeed her embroidery work. Apart from making cheongsams and traditional dresses, this is the only piece of her embroidery that she made on her own."

Shen Wancheng became genuinely interested.

"So you not only know this Ms. Lan, but you're quite familiar with her? You have a special relationship with her?"

“I am not familiar with this Ms. Lan, but my mother has a very good relationship with her.”

Gu Jinxing's mother is Shen Wancheng's future mother-in-law.

Shen Yao glanced at Shen Wancheng with great interest.

Shen Wancheng ignored Shen Yao's amused gaze and continued to ask.

"Do you know why Ms. Lan isn't taking orders anymore?"

Gu Jinxing nodded.

Before Shen Wancheng could ask a question, Shen Yao immediately poured Gu Jinxing a cup of tea.

He had a pleading expression on his face.

Please elaborate.

Shen Wancheng pulled Shen Yao back to sit next to her, stopping her from being naughty.

Gu Jinxing smiled nonchalantly.

"This Ms. Lan is a woman of great integrity and values ​​the passing down of her skills. Twenty years ago, she took on her last disciple, and her love for this apprentice even surpassed that for her own daughter, devoting all her skills to teaching him."

Shen Yao asked with great interest, "And then? This disciple betrayed the sect? And passed on the techniques to outsiders?"

Shen Wancheng patted Shen Yao's head, telling her not to interrupt Gu Jinxing.

"If it were a matter of passing on techniques, Ms. Lan wouldn't have stopped making cheongsams and embroidery herself. The first order her apprentice received after completing her apprenticeship was a kimono, which used the unique tailoring techniques and Suzhou embroidery that Ms. Lan taught her."

Shen Wancheng, who was always calm and composed, changed her expression instantly upon hearing this.

"This apprentice is a complete scoundrel."
