Chapter 406: Chapter 407 The Picture is Beautiful_1

In the kitchen, Feng Gu had already prepared the porridge. As she stepped out, she saw the following scene: In the yard, Ye Ge and Nan Feng sat face-to-face under the towering osmanthus tree, mutual fondness evident as Ye Ge lightly rubbed Nan Feng’s head and she gave a sweet smile in return.

Feng Gu felt that this scene was so beautiful, like a painting. If it happened to be the season of blossoming osmanthus flowers, it would surely be even more picturesque.

After watching them for a while, Feng Gu remembered to bring the porridge out.

...

The Business Association’s quarterly meeting was held at Qingfeng Building.

Being fully funded by the membership dues of the merchants, it was only natural to choose a high-end location. The whole floor of the building was booked.

By the time Nan Feng arrived, many people were already there.

In those more conservative times, the venue was divided into two: men on one side, women on the other. The merchants often brought their spouses; for instance, male merchants would bring their wives to communicate with other women about business and vice versa for the female merchants.

Nan Feng headed toward the women’s side, and as she approached, someone called out to her, "Boss Nan, over here."

Nan Feng turned her head and saw Xin Meng standing, smiling, and waving at her.

Conveniently, there was an empty seat next to Xin Meng, so Nan Feng went and sat down.

"Boss Nan, it’s been a while," Xin Meng greeted with a smile, then introduced the others at the table, "This is Madame Qing, the owner of Shi Man Square. This is Madame Zhou of Yun Dai Square. Both of them run a rouge business. This is Madame Chen who deals in clothing and Madame Xing who is in the jewelry business..."

With Xin Meng’s introductions, Nan Feng greeted them one by one.

However, perhaps because of the incident with Xiangying Square, everyone seemed rather wary of Nan Feng.

Sure enough, after the introductions, Xin Meng asked, "Boss Nan, everyone was discussing earlier whether you told the chairman about Xiangying Square’s tax evasion. If it’s true, you’ve done a huge favor for everyone here. Xiangying Square always thought they were invincible, and they’ve bullied us quite a few times."

As soon as Xin Meng asked, all eyes turned to Nan Feng. Perhaps they were thinking how such a young woman could be so shrewd.

Seeing everyone’s gaze on her, Nan Feng knew she couldn’t avoid the question. However, she also knew she needed to answer it skillfully to deter anyone thinking of getting ideas in the future.

She paused then picked up a few sunflower seeds from the table, casually saying while cracking them open, "There’s a saying, ’If people do not offend me, I do not offend them. If they do offend me, I return it doubly.’ Indeed, it was me who handed in their accounts."

This was as good as stating Wan Fengzhen had caused offense first and she was merely retaliating.

Also, if anyone here dared to provoke her, they would pay the penalty!

After a while, someone asked curiously, "So, how did Madame Wan offend you first?"

Nan Feng casually responded, "Let’s not delve into the specifics. It’s rare that all of us can gather here today. We shouldn’t dampen the mood by discussing such unpleasant matters."

Xin Meng then served as a peacemaker, "That’s right, it’s a rare occasion for all of us to get together, so let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s enjoy the food, relax and eat."

The banquet that night offered a wide range of dishes, all exquisite signature dishes of the restaurant, including shrimp, crab, and roast suckling pig. Over on the men’s side, there was also alcohol, accompanied by bursts of toasting and cheering that echoed from time to time.

The women’s side was quiet and serene, with all present maintaining their poised demeanor.
