Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Flying Fox Clothing was a brand founded by the Jiang family only two years ago. They wanted to get a share of the lucrative clothing market, and they spent a lot of money in trying to build the brand. At the beginning of the year, the Jiang family even hired a wildly popular female celebrity to be their spokesperson, and their advertisements were everywhere.

With the release of the advertisements, the sales of Flying Fox Clothing had soared. Its reputation and recognition had increased, but it was still not an established brand. It was only medium-sized at best, and there was still a huge gap between Flying Fox and the truly big brands.

The original plan was to launch Flying Fox Clothing on Charming Fox E-Commerce Platform and for Flying Fox to make a breakthrough there. The Jiang family didn’t expect the brand to expand, but had hoped the it would be competitive in the market.

What outsiders did not know was that the sales of Flying Fox Clothing had been in decline since the second half of the year. In the last four months, almost half of Flying Fox’s 3000 stores had closed. This put Flying Fox Clothing in a seriously risky position within the Jiang Group.

If they couldn’t collaborate successfully with the Charming Fox Platform this time and if the sales didn’t improve, the Jiang Group could give up on Flying Fox. This situation was not uncommon.

It was the first time Jiang Ming was entrusted by the group with an important task like taking on the operation of Flying Fox on his own. If Jiang Min failed in doing so, he knew that he would no longer have any authority within the Jiang Group. As Jiang Min’s brother, Jiang Xingchen was naturally anxious.

Li Miao had been with Jiang Xingchen for a long time, but this was the first time she failed to use her beauty as a tactic to sway him. It was also the first time she saw Jiang Xingchen speak to her with such a cold attitude.

“President Jiang, you must have misunderstood, or someone must have made a mistake. It can’t be me. I haven’t offended anyone!” Li Miao said in a panic.

Li Miao had a good memory, so she knew that she hadn’t offended anyone recently. If she really had to think of one, it would be the emperor of Dragon Entertainment’s boss, Su Yan, and her old rival, Tang Yitong.

Li Miao’s expression was uncertain. Although she thought of Su Yan and Tang Yitong, she didn’t think that this matter was related to them. After all, they were both from Dragon Emperor Entertainment, and so what did they have to do with Charming Fox?

Jiang Xingchen’s cold voice sounded, “Hmph, I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. I’ll give you two days to settle this matter. You have to do anything they say, even if they ask you to kneel and apologize. Otherwise, I’ll make the company bench you for the next ten years.”

When she heard the word “bench”, Li Miao was completely flustered. “President, President Jiang, it really wasn’t me…”

Jiang Xingchen hung up the phone before Li Miao could even finish speaking. His voices reverberated through her mind, like a heavy hammer hitting her head. Li Miao subconsciously took two steps back.

“What’s wrong? What did President Jiang say?” Ge Lan asked, concerned.

Li Miao came back to her senses, looked at Ge Lan and said, “He, he said he would give me two days to beg for forgiveness, or else he would get the company to bench me. Sister Lan, what should I do now? I don’t even know who I’ve offended. I don’t know who to apologize to even if I wanted.”

Hearing this, Ge Lan frowned. It seemed that Jiang Xingchen was really angry this time, or else he wouldn’t have said the word “bench” so easily. Yet, she still couldn’t figure out a good way to solve the problem even after thinking for quite a while.

“Don’t think about this for now. You’d better finish your red carpet today. When you go out again later, present yourself well. Don’t let others see that there’s anything wrong with you. When we go back tonight, we’ll think of a solution together.” Ge Lan said.

What Li Miao didn’t expect was the red carpet at the party went smoothly, but she and Ge Lan happened to bump into Tang Yitong in the first-class cabin just as they boarded the plane back to Jiangdu.

Tang Yitong did not know that Su Yan had stabbed Li Miao in the back. Seeing Li Miao looking anxious and dazed, Tang Yitong felt inexplicably happy.

“Hey, did your period come today? You look terrible.” Tang Yitong could not help but ask when Li Miao sat down.

At this time, Tang Yitong had just posted that Weibo post attacking Guan Yutong.. After she saw the comments scolding Guan Yutong, Tang Yitong was so happy she could sing! She knew that the netizens had a moral compass.
