The matter about Old Mr. Li was like a rock that was tossed into the river—it vanished after creating some ripples.
At this moment, Wen Xinya already found out that Xia Ruya was attending to the administrative procedures for her withdrawal from Captial University, in preparation for returning to Harbor City. It was said that she managed to get spotted by others when she was in school to settle the procedures.
She even got harshly reprimanded by the students who threw bottles at her, thus compelling her into leaving in despair.
The students who had thrown the bottles at Xia ruya were called to the student union and given a lecture about keeping the campus’ environment clean. Each of them was also made to pay a fine of fifty yuan. However, they were still proud of their actions and yelled in gusto, “I’m proud of myself for throwing the bottles!”
They were indeed very proud of themselves, for throwing bottles was nothing compared to Xia Ruya, who had poisoned others at a young age.
Of course, plenty of the students were thrilled when they found out that Xia Ruya was in school to settle the administrative procedures of her withdrawal. “Is that pretentious woman finally going back to Harbor City? Is the filthy woman finally going to return a clean and pure land back to us? We’re finally going to be free from her stench? We’re finally going to get fresh air?”
After finding out about what Xia Ruya had done, everyone felt absolutely disgusted to be in the same school as Xia Ruya whom they thought had brought down the standard of Capital University.
The procedures of withdrawal from Capital University would require five days to be processed and that was the standard of protocol that no one could change regardless of their status. Hence, Xia Ruya was beyond distraught.
Wen Xinya arrived at the clubhouse of the Zhishan Club on Saturday.
Wen Xinya was now an elite member of Zhishan Club and had become Zhou Huiyan’s able assistant. Even Tang Xiaowei regarded her highly.
Zhou Huiyan was reading some beauty magazines alone in the office.
Upon sight of Wen Xinya, Zhou Huiyan teased. “You performed very well during the Heiress’ Gala. It was impressive!”
She had already watched the video of Wen XInya’s performance during the gala. Although she lacked a strong foundation, she had incredible talent, as evidenced by the stunning progress that she had made within just three years.
Wen Xinya took a seat beside Zhou Huiyan and said smilingly, “Aunt Zhou, I can’t accept your compliment. I know where I stand. Besides… the standards of the Heiress’ Gala have regressed over the years. If the standards are as strict as they used to be, I doubt I’d even get to attend it.”
Thanks to Boya Pavilion’s manipulation, everyone found out about her talent in the four arts. However, in the eyes of the experts, she was at most just a talented and naturally gifted individual. Her true talent was also only in chess.
Staring at her clear eyes, Zhou Huiyan knew that the title did not make Wen Xinya arrogant and proud, for she was aware of her own strengths and weaknesses. Zhou Huiyan nodded and said, “It’s only been three years, but you’ve already surpassed most people in the four arts.”
Although a strong foundation required a long time to be built, talent was very important as well. As long as Wen Xinya put in more effort into studying, she would definitely achieve more than most people.
Not at all modest, Wen Xinya said, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Zhou Huiyan smiled and changed the subject. “The health supplements that you gave me previously are rather effective. Do you plan to go into the health supplements industry?”
She knew right from the start that Wen Xinya had her own business and she had also been paying attention to Wen Xinya. She wanted to know how far she could go. Hence, she was aware of Wen Xinya’s plans to delve into the industry of health supplements.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Yes, the first batch of products have already gone into production and I reckon they will be launched next month.”
Wen Xinya did not hide any details from Zhou Huiyan.
Staring at the glow in Wen Xinya’s eyes when she mentioned about health supplements, Zhou Huiyan knew that Wen Xinya was rather confident about it. “In recent years, health supplements have become one of the main expenses that the nation’s citizens spend on. However, the development is not perfect yet and health supplements only make up a small percentage of the market. It’s very lucrative but difficult to manage. In the overseas markets, there are plenty of up and rising brands every year and hence, many brands often become eliminated.”
She knew right from the start that Wen Xinya was very ambitious, and ever since the launch of the herbal soups at the Lanxin Cosmetics storefront, she could tell that Wen Xinya’s ambitions were far greater than just launching the storefront. She knew that Wen Xinya wanted to use the skincare products for market research, so as to find out what the customers felt. She also wanted to bring fame to Du Ruo and Lanxin.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I’ve been considering that too, but… the most important factors when setting up a health supplements brand is the formula, safety, and results. I believe I can make the best out of this brand. Regardless of what happens, I can’t back down.”
She had never had any qualms or hesitations about the building of the health supplements brand.
Zhou Huiyan said, “There will be a parents’ greetings session at the end of this year. We will be including health supplements in the goody bag this year and I’ve already suggested to Chairman Tang that we use the health supplements from your brand. She has agreed to it too, but we’ll have to run some tests on the products before coming to a final decision. This is a great opportunity.”
The martyr appreciation event was meant for the military.
Wen Xinya widened her eyes in disbelief and asked, “Aunt Zhou, are you for real?”
She knew that Zhou Huiyan was trying to tell her that it was up to her to grasp the opportunity.
If she could successfully clinch the deal, there would no longer be a need for advertisements. Lanxin health supplements would become a mainstream product for the local market. The Zhishan Club’s approval of their products meant that everyone had approved of them too.”
Zhou Huiyan smiled and said, “Of course it’s real. These things are not meant to be joked about. Xinya, you’re now an elite member of the Zhishan Club. We won’t undermine your efforts because you have contributed a lot to us and society. We have plenty of resources and connections that you can put to good use. A win-win situation is best.”
Most people joined the Zhishan Club with the intention of making use of the interests that they offered. Wen Xinya had joined Zhishan Club for three years but had yet to use any of the resources available. If she were to make use of them right from the start, they would have long been listed.
Wen Xinya widened her mouth in shock. She had actually forgotten about that.
Neither Old Mr. Mo nor Si Yiyan had mentioned it before.
Zhou Huiyan chuckled and said, “As long as you use the appropriate measures, we won’t interfere.”
Wen Xinya blushed, feeling embarrassed for forgetting about such an important matter. “Got it, Aunt Zhou!”
