"Ye Fan, don't let what my parents said earlier bother you," said Qiu Mu-Cheng softly after taking the heavy plate of kebabs that Ye Fan warmed up for her and ate them.
After all, her parents had gone too far earlier.
Even if Ye Fan wasn't close friends with Han Dong-Min, her mother shouldn't have turned on Ye Fan like that. She forbade him from having tea or Maotai and said such nasty things.
But Ye Fan just shook his head and smiled. "It's okay. I'm used to it already. I wouldn't be able to get used to it if they were so attentive all the time. Oh yes, when is the company opening? Shall I call some people over to give you some support?" said Ye Fan jokingly as he changed the subject of the conversation.
Qiu Mu-Cheng laughed too. Then she replied, "Probably in a few days. I've been writing invitations and wondered if I should send Grandpa one too. Since they put in so much effort to suppress Mufan
Real Estate, how can we not invite them now that we are opening? We should let them see how we managed to open Mufan Real Estate despite their suppression."
Qiu Mu-Cheng always carried some indignation towards the Qius.
The Qius had always looked down on her and Ye Fan.
Her grandfather and the rest of the family thought that a woman wouldn't be able to start a company. So now that Mufan Real Estate was about to open, it was only natural that Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to send the Qius an invitation.
Even if they didn't turn up, the invitation was as good as a slap in their faces. Qiu Mu-Cheng could then get back at them hard.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little worried about doing this too.
"Of course we should invite them. Why shouldn't we? It's the perfect time to let your Grandpa and those people take a good hard look and see how foolish they were for chasing my wife out." Ye Fan thought it was a great idea.
"But Ye Fan, Mufan Real Estate is still new and doesn't have a reputation. What if barely anyone turns up for its opening ceremony? Then instead of being able to show off, Qiu Mu-Ying and the others would end up laughing at us."
Qiu Mu-Cheng had been worried about this over the past few days.
Although she wanted to make it a grand opening ceremony, she had few connections in Yunzhou's corporate circles after all and wasn't confident in being able to invite anyone important.
If barely any people came for the opening ceremony, then it would be an embarrassment.
Ye Fan comforted her and said, “It'll be fine. There's nothing embarrassing about this. Even if no big shots come and show us support, it is fine for us to celebrate with just the employees. If everyone brings their family members along, then you would have at least 100 people, right? That way, even if no one else turns up, it will still be a lively affair."
"That's true, but..." Qiu Mu-Chen sighed as gloom and disappointment clearly surfaced on her pretty face.
Ye Fan wasn't wrong in putting it this way.
But she was vain too. Now that her company was finally ready for business, Qiu Mu-Cheng naturally hoped that it would be exceptionally lively on that day and make the opening ceremony a momentous affair.
She wanted her grandfather, Qiu Mu-Ying, and all the relatives who belittled her to see that she could live an even better life after leaving them.
She wanted to show them that she could start her own business and even surpass Qiushui Logistics in the future without relying on them.
Just like Ye Fan mentioned, she wanted the Qius to realize they were stupid to chase her out and she wanted them to wallow in regret.
But dreams were often more beautiful than reality. Qiu Mu-Cheng now realized that the opening ceremony was probably not going to be as glorious as she hoped and she might not even be able to invite a single big shot.
