Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

Chapter 69 The Zhu family banquet ended early!

Zhu Jun coughed lightly, trying to appear calm and cover up his embarrassment, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, of course I know you! My daughter's coming-of-age ceremony was arranged by her brother Zhiqiang. I was too busy to pay attention to it, and I didn't expect such an oversight to happen. I'm really sorry."

"I see," Fu Siya immediately followed up on his words, her tone sincere.

"I knew it! Uncle Zhu, you've always been very polite, so you certainly wouldn't forget to invite such an important friend as Miss Jiang. After all, the owner of No. 1 Tan Palace is someone to be respected for both her status and strength. If word got out that you didn't invite her, it would inevitably lead people to misunderstand that you look down on her, which would damage the Zhu family's reputation."

"Siya is absolutely right!" Zhu Jun nodded repeatedly, secretly praising Fu Siya's insight and feeling that this matter must be remedied as soon as possible.

"That's absolutely true. If others misunderstand, it would severely damage the reputation of our Zhu family. I will definitely visit Miss Jiang in person to explain things properly and offer my sincere apologies."

"Yes, yes, it's great that you think that way, Uncle Zhu." Fu Siya nodded with a smile, then changed the subject, revealing a playful yet slightly anxious expression.

"By the way, Uncle Zhu, Wenxi told me that she recently bought a building in the city center, planning to use it for commercial offices. Our advisor recently assigned us a project that requires us to earn five million within a year, without relying on our families for help. We're currently worried about not having suitable office space, and we were thinking that it would be more convenient to ask her for a place to work. It's getting late, so we'll say goodbye and go discuss it with her. We'll come to see you and Auntie another day."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Jun quickly agreed. Watching Fu Siya turn and leave, the embarrassment on his face had not yet faded, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Only then did he fully realize how wrong he had been—not only had he wrongly accused Jiang Wenxi, but he had also almost offended the master of No. 1 Tan Palace, a man of great hidden talent, because of his children's foolishness.

He turned to look at Zhu Zhiqiang, who was still greeting guests not far away, and his eyes instantly turned as cold as ice.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Jun quickly agreed. Watching Fu Siya turn and leave with her companions, the embarrassment on his face had not completely faded, but his heart was already in turmoil.

People who can easily buy a building in the city center are not common in the entire city of Shanghai! Even for him, if he really wanted to spend hundreds of millions of yuan to purchase such a commercial building, he would have to use the core family account and allocate a lot of liquid funds.

Jiang Wenxi's strength was far greater than he had imagined.

Zhu Jun immediately understood the cause and effect.

Based on his understanding of his two children, Zhu Zhiqiang had always protected Zhu Xiaolin, and Zhu Xiaolin was spoiled and competitive. It was probably a secret agreement between the siblings that they deliberately did not invite the owner of No. 1 Tan Palace. After all, Jiang Wenxi had been too prominent at the Fu family's birthday banquet, and Zhu Xiaolin was afraid that she would steal the limelight from her coming-of-age ceremony.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun's anger had reached its peak, and it felt as if a ball of scalding fire was about to burst out of his chest.

However, the banquet is still in progress and the hall is full of guests. If he were to lose his temper on the spot, it would not only spoil the mood of all the guests, but also make the Zhu family a laughing stock in the business community.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. He maintained a polite smile on his face, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

Once the banquet is over, these two siblings will definitely get a good scolding!

Reprimanding is secondary; the most urgent task is to find a way to make amends as soon as possible.

A person like Jiang Wenxi is not someone the Zhu family can easily offend; if not handled properly, it could bring utter disaster to the family business.

He quickly calculated in his mind that he had to personally visit her to apologize. As for the gift, he had to prepare it carefully, showing sincerity without being cliché, and making sure that the other party did not feel that the Zhu family looked down on her.

On the other side, Fu Siya, along with Ma Yun and Jiang Xunye, got into the car and headed towards the No. 1 Tan Palace.

What they said just now wasn't entirely unfounded; they really did come specifically to discuss renting an office with Jiang Wenxi.

Although Fu Siya initially only ran an online fashion business, as her fan base surged and orders increased, she needed a dedicated studio to process orders, shoot fashion photos, and also had a warehouse to store her merchandise.

So once the online business stabilizes, we'll start opening a physical store to create an integrated online and offline model.

Ma Yun's game company also needs an office area to house the team and carry out research and development; Jiang Xunye's positioning system project also needs a separate office space to advance the work.

More importantly, they were all determined to make a name for themselves through their own abilities and did not want to depend on their families.

After all, the family business was built up by the hard work of the fathers or grandfathers. Even if they take it over, it is not their own achievement.

Now, from the initial idea to company registration and project implementation, they have to run and implement every step of these businesses themselves. This sense of belonging and accomplishment is something that cannot be obtained by relying on a family.

The car soon arrived at No. 1 Tan Palace, where the magnificent wrought iron gates slowly opened, leading them into the courtyard.

After the car stopped, the group had just reached the villa's entrance when the doorbell rang, its "ding-dong" echoing throughout the tranquil villa. The housekeeper, responsible for the daily care, heard the bell and quickly came to open the door.

Upon seeing the three people outside the door, the nanny immediately put on a friendly smile: "Oh, it's Miss Fu, Second Young Master Ma, and First Young Master Jiang. Please come in!"

Fu Siya smiled and nodded: "Is Wenxi here?"

"Miss is here," the nanny said, stepping aside to let them in and leading them inside. "She's having her meal right now."

"Oh? Well, we've come at a pretty good time. We can just manage to have a meal together." Ma Yun joked with a smile, her tone casual.

The nanny smiled and led the three of them through the spacious living room toward the dining room.

Inside the restaurant, Jiang Wenxi was sitting quietly at the table, enjoying her meal. The table was set with three dishes and a soup, all of them exquisite home-style flavors.

Seeing the group walk in, she glanced up, put down her chopsticks, and asked in a calm tone, "What brings you all here?"

"Come over for a free meal!" Fu Siya was the first to walk to the dining table, peeked at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile, "Wenxi, you're living a good life. The food looks delicious."

"What? You want to eat?" Jiang Wenxi raised an eyebrow and turned to the nanny who had followed her, instructing her, "Give them a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes, Miss!" The nanny immediately replied and turned to go to the kitchen.
