Chapter 390: 390 Face-Slapping Scene! Shenzhou’s National Treasure Returns to Huaxia【2 Updates】

Yesterday, after Ye Wanlan drove her out from the Lin Family Old House, Kang Lejia brought her bodyguards to Pulling the Sky Company.

She had assumed that by bringing up the Kang Family name, the Pulling the Sky Company would certainly treat her as an honored guest.

What astonished her was that she was not able to directly enter the company headquarters to make her selection, but only received an appointment number.

The staff politely explained to her, "At this time, it’s not just the various regions of Shenzhou that are making reservations, but also the large and small families from other regions."

Among them were some of the big families from Yunjing, as well as names of several foreign conglomerates that Kang Lejia had heard of when she was very young.

She had to swallow her anger and line up.

If the people of the Kang Family had to queue, why should the Jiangcheng Lin Family be able to cut in line?

At Kang Lejia’s outburst, she also drew the attention of other people, and many looked over.

Khor Peiqing frowned and shielded Ye Wanlan behind her, her voice coldly stating, "Miss Kang from the Kang Family, you seem to have never learned any manners."

That comment hit Kang Lejia’s sore spot, and she looked down on her with disdain, "And you are what exactly? Commenting so freely now, are you?"

Even if her manners were lacking, they couldn’t be compared to the small household of the Jiangcheng Lin Family.

"Auntie," Ye Wanlan said, patting Khor Peiqing on the shoulder with a slight smile, "No need to bite back if bitten by livestock, or else we might catch a disease, and that would not be good."

Kang Lejia understood the insinuation, both shocked and enraged, "Ye Wanlan! You dare insult me?"

Ye Wanlan slowly rolled up her sleeves, her voice calm, "I dare do more than insult you. I dare to hit you."

"Miss Ye, you have arrived," the manager hurried out at this moment, bowed respectfully to Ye Wanlan, and said, "We have been expecting you for a long time, you may bring your family inside."

"Auntie, aunt, cousin, let’s go in," Ye Wanlan said without giving Kang Lejia, who was in shock, another glance, just proceeding through the entrance.

Khor Peiqing also ignored Kang Lejia and followed Ye Wanlan inside.

Kang Lejia stood in her spot, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her under broad daylight; she felt chilly to her bones and shivered momentarily.

"Mom, what exactly is the Kang Family trying to do?" Lin Qin lowered her voice, "They clearly wanted to invite cousin back, but this Miss from the Kang Family’s attitude towards cousin is not good at all, quite awful actually."

"We don’t need to bother with them, Qinqin," Lin Woyu said, patting her head, "Ah Lan will always be one of our Lin Family people, and she is still your cousin. She has our big brother’s blood running through her veins, including his pride and sharpness."

Lin Qin nodded.

The door closed again, and as the manager was about to leave, Kang Lejia stopped him.

Her face changed from pale to red with anger, furious, "They didn’t line up, so why could they go in direct? Is this how you treat your VIP customers? Do you not understand—"

"Miss Kang, apologies, but Miss Ye is a friend of Director Fang, and she had made an appointment well in advance. You received a number only yesterday, so we cannot make an exception for you alone," the manager stated firmly yet respectfully, "If you were also a friend of Director Fang, of course, you could have gone directly inside."

"Director Fang?" Kang Lejia grew even angrier, "A person from the Fang Family of Jiangcheng? Do they even understand how to run a business and follow rules?"

The manager simply gave a distantly polite smile, "Aside from friends of Director Fang, everyone else must queue. If you have any complaints, you can directly take them up with the big boss."

Although he said this, even the manager had never seen who the big boss of Pulling the Sky was.

It was said that the big boss might not even be a human, but a sophisticated program; otherwise, how could each move be so accurately calculated?

Extremely bold, yet always very safe.

Kang Lejia was seething with rage, but the next number called was hers; she had to contain herself.

Because in the entire Shenzhou and even the world, only Pulling the Sky possessed the style of jewelry, ready-made garments, and handbags she liked.

Kang Lejia kept a cold expression.

She had long looked down on the enterprises of the Jiangcheng Lin Family, which at most made tens or hundreds of millions a year, hardly rivaling the profits of the smallest subsidiary of the Kang Corporation.

With the financial resources of the Jiangcheng Lin Family, how long could they support such luxury spending?

In time, Pulling the Sky Company will realize who the true VIP customers are.

Although Khor Peiqing said she didn’t need it before coming here, upon truly seeing the jewelry in the glass case, she couldn’t help but be moved.

"Auntie, look around at your own pace," Ye Wanlan said, raising her eyebrows. "If you like them all, then take them all back."

"That would definitely scare your uncle to death first," Khor Peiqing chuckled. "It’s enough for me to just choose one piece."

Lin Woyu also began trying on a gold bracelet with the help of the staff.

"Cousin, when you guys were at the Global Center, you must have encountered other situations as well, right?" Lin Qin worriedly said, "I remember mom once told me, in the Northern Lands, there was an electronics enterprise that was developing too rapidly and caused great vigilance among the native brands of the Global Center. They directly kidnapped all the executives of that company, forced them to submit, and even successfully bought that company in the end."

"Mm," Ye Wanlan answered with a soft smile. "But no need to worry; let them try to stop us. The greater the storm, the further the ship can reach."

After speaking, she patted Lin Qin’s shoulder, "You pick something as well; I need to handle some common affairs."

Upstairs, in the general manager’s office.

"Sister Lan, major international malls have already dispatched representatives to discuss with us," Fang Qingli reported. "The first batch of physical stores is scheduled to be completed by this March, entering Global Center, Northern Lands, and Starman Federal Empire among other places."

"Mm," Ye Wanlan nodded. "Aside from the Shenzhou stores, in stores of other regions, only the high-end line will be arranged."

To establish a luxury brand renowned worldwide, it is crucial first to ensure the value of its products, setting them apart from the regular market.

The reason Ye Wanlan had also set up a "Shenzhou" regular line was to allow more People of Shenzhou to own these ancient crafts fashioned into jewelry, clothes, and so on.

"Got it, no problem," Fang Qingli agreed.

"And, customers who bring out Shenzhou antiques can directly exchange them," Ye Wanlan added. "Moreover, we encourage the use of antique pieces instead of money."

Fang Qingli was startled but quickly understood Ye Wanlan’s intentions: "Understood, Sister Lan."

"Go ahead," Ye Wanlan nodded, "the upcoming designs will still require the involvement of Jiang Xulin and Yixiang."

Another purpose behind her establishment of the Pulling the Sky Company was—

To reclaim more Shenzhou antiques, preventing these relics from being lost abroad.

Beyond the items housed in various museums, many artifacts were privately owned by collectors; at the very least, she aimed to bring this batch of artifacts back to Shenzhou.

Ye Wanlan picked up a pen and slowly wrote eight characters on paper—

Shenzhou’s treasures, ultimately belonging to Huaxia.

This moment, in Yunjing.

After failing with three people in a row, Xiang Shaoyu furrowed his brows and ultimately found a particularly long name in his contacts—"Matvey Petrovich"—and dialed the number.

The other party picked up quickly.

"Never thought Young Master Shaoyu would actually call personally," Matvey did not seem surprised, "May I know the purpose of Young Master Shaoyu’s call?"

"I know you’re acquainted with Old Mr. Sergei," Xiang Shaoyu said indifferently. "He has some antiques that I need, and I hope you can arrange a meeting for us."

"Of course, that is not a difficult matter," Matvey’s eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled, "But you must have heard about Uncle Sergei’s temperament, right? Even Her Majesty the Queen can’t get a treasured item from him."

"You don’t need to worry about that," Xiang Shaoyu said noncommittally. "The treasures you mention are the lost heirlooms of my Xiang Family."

Matvey sighed, "Young Master Shaoyu, those items indeed used to belong to your family, but since you didn’t keep them safe at the time, now that they’re in our hands, they’re ours, don’t you agree?"

Who doesn’t know the priceless value of Shenzhou relics, even considered beyond price?

Three hundred years have passed; how could the People of Shenzhou possibly have the strength to contend with us of the Northern Lands?
