Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzhe's eyes flashed with approval: "He is clear about right and wrong, acts with propriety, and is a person worth befriending."

He looked at Fu Siya and advised, "You should spend more time with Miss Jiang in the future. Someone like her is worth getting to know better."

"I know, brother!" Fu Siya replied with a smile. "I've always been close to Wenxi, so I'll definitely keep in touch with her often in the future."

Fu Yunzhe nodded, picked up the documents on the table again, but lost the will to continue reading.

The scene Fu Siya described kept replaying in his mind. He had a premonition that this woman would inevitably stir up a storm in Shanghai's business world in the future.

Seeing that her brother was busy with work again, Fu Siya didn't disturb him any longer and turned back to her room.

Lying in bed, she recalled the events of the night and still felt her blood boiling. She felt even more strongly that being friends with Jiang Wenxi was a particularly reliable thing to do.

Just as the exchange with the Fu family ended, Zhu Jun from the Zhu family also learned about the entire incident that occurred at the Yage Club through his connections.

He was sitting in his study, listening to his subordinate's report. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"That old bastard Bai Shikang, he actually let his daughter cause such a big mess, and even dared to poison Jiang Wenxi..." Zhu Jun muttered to himself, his tone full of lingering fear.

He recalled that not long ago, his son had a conflict with Jiang Wenxi. Fortunately, he quickly went to apologize and even offered compensation.

Now, after hearing about the Bai family's plight, I feel incredibly fortunate.

The subordinate continued reporting: "Boss, I heard that the Bai Group's total market value is about 40 billion. Jiang Wenxi asked for 30 billion in compensation right off the bat, which is equivalent to the Bai family using three-quarters of all their assets to barely redeem Bai Ruoqi. They also have to rectify all the company's violations and accept inspections from relevant departments. After this incident, the Bai Group is probably severely damaged and will never be able to return to its previous scale."

"30 billion... three-quarters of the assets..." Zhu Jun gasped, slamming his hand heavily on the table as he put down his teacup.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't apologized in time and had instead confronted Jiang Wenxi like Bai Shikang had. With Jiang Wenxi's methods and power, his Zhu family would probably have paid a much heavier price than the Bai family, and their very foundation might have been shaken.

Although the Bai family made their fortune later, it is still a large enterprise.

"Luckily, luckily I wasn't confused at the time." Zhu Jun sighed repeatedly, his face showing relief at surviving the ordeal.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside. His eyes gradually hardened. "From now on, in Shanghai, I will avoid anything involving Jiang Wenxi. I absolutely cannot provoke her."

"Yes, boss!" The subordinate quickly responded and withdrew.

Zhu Jun sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a big gulp. The icy tea flowed down his throat, which slightly calmed his fear.

He knew that after what happened to the Bai family, many people in Shanghai's business community would re-evaluate Jiang Wenxi, and he had managed to stay ahead of the curve and preserve the Zhu family's wealth and status.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into Jiang Wenxi's villa living room, bathing the floor in a warm golden glow.

Jiang Yan, dressed in a sharp business suit, stood in the center of the living room, respectfully reporting to Jiang Wenxi, who was sitting on the sofa reviewing documents: "Miss, all the evidence of the Qiao Group's tax evasion has been submitted to the relevant departments. In addition, our lawsuit against the supermarket for 7.5 million yuan in unpaid fees has been accepted, and the court will recalculate the relevant costs based on market prices. However, Mr. Qiao of the Qiao Group has sent word that he would like to meet with you. Would you like to agree?"

Jiang Wenxi paused, her fingers turning the page, and looked up at Jiang Yan, her tone flat and emotionless: "See me? What does he want to talk to me about?"

"From what he said, it seems he wants you to drop the lawsuit."

Jiang Yan replied truthfully, "He promised to pay the full amount of the 7.5 million yuan debt without further negotiation."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenxi's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she chuckled, "When we asked her to pay, she wasn't like this at all. She was dragging her feet and unwilling, making all sorts of excuses. Now she's taking the initiative."

She put down the documents in her hand, leaned back on the sofa, and her eyes turned cold. "I won't see her. Go tell Attorney Yang that since the case has already been filed, there's no need to show leniency; proceed according to procedure."

"Understood, Miss." Jiang Yan replied.

Jiang Wenxi tapped her fingertips lightly on the sofa armrest, thinking to herself: She had given the Qiao family a chance back then; if they had paid the money honestly, none of this would have happened. Since they were so ungrateful and insisted on coming after her, she couldn't blame herself for being ruthless.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to leave, she remembered something and quickly added, "By the way, Miss, I've already made an appointment with the person in charge of that film and television company you asked me to contact. The time is set for 3 PM this afternoon at their company. Is that a convenient time for you?"

"Okay," Jiang Wenxi replied succinctly, her tone devoid of any extra emotion.

"There's one more thing," Jiang Yan continued. "I've finished negotiating with 'Qianyu,' the lingerie company you previously selected to invest in. They've expressed their desire for you to invest 500 million yuan, and in exchange, they're willing to give you 50% of their equity. They've also sent you a batch of all the styles of lingerie they're currently producing."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxi glanced at Jiang Yan and asked calmly, "Where is the thing?"

"It's right at the door," Jiang Yan replied. "Shall I have someone move it in?"

"Hmm, let me take a look after it."

Jiang Yan immediately turned around and instructed the servants. Before long, four nannies in uniform carried in four large boxes and placed them neatly in the center of the living room.

When the box was opened, it contained high-end lingerie, each piece exquisitely designed and arranged very neatly, all wrapped in transparent dust bags.

"Miss, there are 12 styles of lingerie here, each available in popular colors such as nude, black, and champagne," Jiang Yan introduced as she stepped forward.

Jiang Wenxi stood up, walked to the box, and casually picked up a piece of silk underwear.

As your fingertips brush against the fabric, you feel its delicate smoothness and slightly cool texture.

She nodded slightly and examined the cut and design of the lingerie again. The style was simple yet exquisite, and the stitching in the details was very neat, showing that the craftsmanship was solid.

"The material and style are both quite nice," she commented softly, then put down the bra. "I just don't know how it will look on me."

After saying that, she looked up and instructed the nanny, "Alright, take all of these to the dressing room and organize them."
