Chapter 207: 207 Apologizes to the Entire Network! The Mastermind Behind the Scenes [1 Update]

It’s not just Su embroidery, including Cloud Brocade, brocade, gold-threaded cloisonne... All these intangible heritage crafts should disappear into the river of history with time.

Why do these People of Shenzhou never give up, insisting on developing things from the past?

Three hundred years ago, Shenzhou should have vanished from this world.

But no one knows how, teetering on the brink of demise, Shenzhou managed to bide its time and rise again?

How come the backbone of the People of Shenzhou can’t be broken, their pride can’t be bent?

"My Lord, Jiang Xulin is arrogant. After he can no longer touch embroidery needles, he turned to race car driving," said someone, "I believe the person we really need to take out is the founder of Pulling the Sky Company. This person has already found Jiang Xulin which is quite strange, and even managed to convince him to work for the company?"

Hearing this, that person’s eyes narrowed, "You make a good point. First, find out who is running this Pulling the Sky Company. To name a company like that, hmph!"

No company name is without meaning.

Pulling the Sky, Pulling the Heavens from Collapse.

Such grand ambition indeed.

If there ever comes a day, like three hundred years ago, when Shenzhou’s sky truly collapses, what could one company amount to?

"Yes." The subordinates responded in unison, "The primary task is to eliminate the Jiang siblings, and the secondary task is to find out the founder of Pulling the Sky Company."

That person uttered indifferently, "Go."

Meanwhile, in the office, Ye Wanlan received an overseas call from Starman Federation’s MN Group headquarters.

"Hello, hello, I am the general manager of MN Group." The general manager kept a very low profile.

Ye Wanlan wasn’t swayed by his eagerness, her tone official, polite yet distant: "Hello."

"I’m very sorry, about this incident, we at the top management truly were not aware," the general manager apologized profusely, "We have already disciplined the staff involved, and will provide your company with ample compensation to show our sincerity."

"I’ll accept the apology, but what you really think in your hearts, I cannot see, nor can I control," Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "Did MN Group choose to apologize to our small company because arrogance is no longer viable?"

After Everlight City, Zhaoyun Plaza, and AOL, the three major luxury malls, all removed Saint Leys counters, even MN Group, with its dominance in the luxury sector, had to bow its noble head.

This made the general manager somewhat irritated, bursting with frustration internally, but he dared not misspeak—for fear that his words might be recorded again and spread across the internet, potentially blocking MN Group’s future path.

This time, Shenzhou’s firmness made them realize that if it comes to a critical point, the People of Shenzhou will dare to do anything.

"What are you saying? Why would we think that way?" The general manager said laughingly, "You and Shenzhou are our important partners, and we really wouldn’t want this incident to ruin our friendly relations."

"Hmm," Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "You consider us partners only because you can earn ample profits in Shenzhou, you wouldn’t forsake money for the sake of pride, would you?"

The general manager was left speechless, at a complete loss for words.

His innermost thoughts laid bare, he was quite embarrassed, "Regardless, the turmoil this time is MN Group’s mistake. The apology statement has been synchronized across the globe online, and the compensation is on the way. I hope we can still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Ye Wanlan said no more and hung up the phone.

She opened her computer, and Saint Leys’s account in the Shenzhou District, having violated the community rules, had been shut down.

The apology statement was issued by MN’s main group and was also uploaded to the external web.

MN Group didn’t want the matter to escalate, but in the end, they lost face globally.

"Regarding this improper comment, I am deeply sorry," said the supervisor on camera, his face pale and speech unsteady.

Where was the domineering and aggressive attitude from before?

"The company has expressed extreme anger over my comments, and I have now resigned from my post as supervisor at MN Group," continued the supervisor, "I apologize to Shenzhou and all the People of Shenzhou, as well as to Pulling the Sky Company. It’s all our fault..."

The three-minute apology video was indeed very sincere, but still, many did not buy it.

[Who knows if this is just a facade, and they’re different behind the scenes? It’s not like you haven’t done this kind of thing before.]

[Anyway, I won’t buy products from MN Group anymore, I contribute about a million a year, MN Group surely won’t mind losing a small customer like me.]

[Everyone, hold firm, boycott MN Group, otherwise they will mock us for not learning our lesson, queuing up outside their stores again.]

Though the MN Group supervisor’s remarks were extremely unpleasant, utterly insulting, they truly woke up many customers.

[I’m not going anymore either, to tell the truth, the bags from Sai Family have been declining in quality every year, they peel after carrying them three times, worse than a twenty-yuan canvas bag.]

"Sigh, yes, people will say the poor shouldn’t carry our family’s bags."

The office door was knocked, and Ye Wanlan looked up, "Come in."

"Sister Lan!" Fang Qingli pushed the door open, "Guess what we’ve received?"

Ye Wanlan looked at her with a mild smile, "What is it?"

"It’s an invitation from MN Group for their fashion show, but it’s an independent one, not an adjunct," Fang Qingli waved the envelope in her hand, "With this invitation, we can attend this year’s end-of-year fashion show."

For a show of this level, even for a top luxury brand like Catika, it was a time to shine.

At the end of each year, the Global Center becomes the battleground where the world’s three top luxury brands compete, with other brands only getting scraps.

But just being seen there is enough to get a foothold in the international fashion circle,

and only by entering the international fashion circle can one ensure becoming an internationally recognized luxury brand.

"Hmm," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "We need to start preparing the ready-to-wear, jewelry, and bags for the end-of-year show now, and we also need to select the models."

Such an opportunity was hard to come by and had to be treated with caution.

"Understood," Fang Qingli said, "I will have the list of models confirmed right away, to ensure there are absolutely no scandals."

"Some scandals might be fake, and those who appear to be scandal-free might be covered in them," Ye Wanlan nodded, "Once we have the list, I’ll choose the models personally."

Fang Qingli blinked, "Sister Lan, I’m really curious about what you did before. Even the staff in the HR department aren’t as accurate at judging people as you are."

"Me?" Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "You’re so clever, you can try to guess."

"I can’t guess," Fang Qingli muttered, "I always feel you’re very mysterious, Sister Lan. I’ve known you for quite some time, but it feels like I still can’t see through you."

Ye Wanlan smiled but didn’t deny it, merely saying, "Let’s go eat first."

In her previous life, as soon as she decided to enter the East Palace, she knew that to secure her position as the Crown Prince, her thoughts could never be entirely deciphered by anyone.

An emperor whose thoughts are all written on the face is like having a body full of weak spots.

And an emperor also cannot lay bare personal preferences.

She had long become used to hiding her heart.

Never letting anyone know what she was truly thinking.

Fang Qingli had already reserved a private room at the restaurant. When the two of them arrived, Jiang Xulin and Zhou Yixiang were already there.

"Sister Lan," Zhou Yixiang greeted her happily, "Next month, when school starts, I’ll be a senior with only one class left, so I can help out at the company all the time."

"That’s good news," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile, "How’s your graduation thesis coming along?"

"I’ve already chosen my topic, and I’m working on the proposal," Zhou Yixiang said, "What I’m worried about lately is the recommendation for postgraduate studies, I’m not sure if I’ve been selected."

She had applied for postgraduate studies at Yunjing University, and the competition was fierce.

"Don’t worry, Yixiang, your grades are so good, you’re top of your college, and your quality assessment isn’t bad either, you’ll definitely get the recommendation," Fang Qingli said, "According to Sister Lan’s plan, when you start your postgraduate studies, our company will also be moving to Yunjing."

"Thank you, Sister Qingli," Zhou Yixiang said happily, "I haven’t congratulated Sister Qingli on finding your biological parents and finally escaping the bitter sea."

"Sigh, it’s both a good and bad thing," Fang Qingli sighed, "Even though my parents haven’t held a banquet to announce my identity, quite a few people have already come to propose marriage, including that lunatic from your Zhou family."

Ye Wanlan suddenly asked, "Yixiang, what’s the situation with Zhou Heyuan now?"

Zhou Yixiang paused, then quickly answered, "Cousin Heyuan is still the same, not sure if he will ever wake up."

Ye Wanlan hummed thoughtfully.

After dinner, night had fallen.

Jiang Xulin and Fang Qingli escorted Zhou Yixiang back to Jiangcheng University before each going their separate ways.

"Jiang Xulin has appeared," the young man pressed his earpiece, his eyes filled with killing intent, "Is everything ready?"

From the earpiece, a cold voice came, "It’s ready."

This time, let Jiang Xulin and his Su embroidery skills completely disappear from this world.
