After the promotion, Mu Yan took a day off at home and handled some affairs of the flower shop. In less than a year, the flower shop’s profit reached tens of millions, with offline branches opening one after another and the online store’s performance improving.

Recently, she received a script, so while accompanying Mu Chen in the hospital, she occasionally painted some flower arrangements.

Seeing her pick up the brush, Mu Chen felt relieved of his last bit of concern.

He just enjoyed watching her do what she loved. He had never agreed with her acting, considering it mere work, devoid of fun.

But for Liang Rong in Beijing, life hasn’t been too happy lately.

After the New Year, several big deals vanished without a trace, and the company’s first-quarter financial report looked grim, with the board questioning her capabilities.

Although she’s just the Deputy General Manager, the President is her elder brother, but he’s mediocre, entrusting everything to her.

For years, she had been striving to expand the company, yielding significant results.

Who could have thought that several promising, high-profit projects would end in failure? Tremendous funds were invested early on, but now, without securing any, the losses were devastating.

This morning, at the board meeting, shareholders collectively targeted her, suggesting she listen more to the opinions of the higher-ups. This wasn’t her one-man show, and if she couldn’t manage, she should step aside.

Even her elder brother didn’t defend her this time, and he even sought her out after the meeting.

"Ah Rong, business is business, personal matters are personal. If you still can’t let go of Shao Yang, deal with your issues with him before returning to the company."

"There’s nothing unclear about my matters with him," Liang Rong said sternly. "This time, it’s evident that someone is targeting our Liang Group."

"I know this." Liang Family’s elder brother had a calm demeanor, "I’ve already asked around, and many are involved. Even Zhuang Shaoyang meddled a bit, along with his good son-in-law. What’s your deal? Offending people just after New Year?"

Liang Rong was full of impatience, "It’s not me offending them; it’s them unwilling to let me go!"

"I told you back then, what’s good about Zhuang Shaoyang; his heart is completely with Zhuang Ning. You insisted on getting involved, and now look at you, following him for so many years without even a marriage certificate. You don’t know how people outside talk about you, how they talk about the Liang Family."

"Brother, speak with conscience. Back then, you also supported my relationship with Zhuang Shaoyang."

"I supported you marrying him, but didn’t approve of you being a mistress," Liang Family’s elder brother said sternly, "And you, how come you didn’t inform us about the significant issue of not having a certificate? With our backing, he wouldn’t dare be so reckless."

Liang Rong closed her eyes, not wanting to discuss this further, "I still have to attend the land auction in East City soon; let’s not talk about this."

"We must secure that piece of land this time; otherwise, we’ll face tough times this year." Liang Family’s elder brother said solemnly.

"I know." Liang Rong’s expression was grave. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If it fails again, the shareholders would be out for her blood.

After Liang Family’s elder brother left, Liang Rong went out.

Returning in the afternoon, she entered the office and couldn’t help but throw the documents over the floor, still not appeased.

She shouted angrily, "Zhuang Shaoyang, how dare you treat me like this!"

The secretaries and assistants outside didn’t dare approach, pretending not to hear her voice.

After all, everyone knows about the boss being a mistress for over twenty years; they simply play along.

However, Mr. Zhuang is truly ruthless, raising the price despite knowing that the Liang Family Group needs that piece of land, clearly targeting on purpose.
