  The Yu Corporation.

  In the manager’s office.

  Nian Xiaomu stared at the photos on her cell phone as she sat in front of her office desk. Then, she opened up her email and compared it with the photo that Fan Yu had sent her.

  She had a heavy look on her face.

  She had not slept for the entire night and had been looking for photo albums in Tan Bengbeng’s study room.

  She did not find anything in the end.

  Tan Bengbeng really was someone who did not take photos, not even selfies.

  As Nian Xiaomu could not find other photos of her, she could only use the few photos in the photo album and compare them with the photo of a girl that Fan Yu had snapped before. Apart from finding the similarity between their figures, she could not confirm anything else even after putting them side by side for half the day.

  She threw her cell phone onto the office desk in despair.

  Just when she was about to call the airport and ask for Tan Bengbeng’s updates, the secretary had pushed the door open and entered the room.

  “Manager Nian, there is supposedly a business collaboration talk with the Zheng Corporation this morning, but a representative from the company just called to inform us that their flight was delayed and that their manager in charge of the talks wasn’t feeling well. They wanted to shift the meeting to this afternoon and they are asking if we can accommodate the timing.”


  “…”


  Nian Xiaomu was stunned. After she snapped back to her senses, she turned around and took a glance at the schedule on her office desk.

  She remembered that there was indeed a negotiation talk this morning and she had done her preparations in advance.

  She knew that the Zheng Corporation had sent their vice president over this time round, and she had also heard that she had great skills in business negotiations.

  However, she had kept a low profile and she still could not find any information about her up until now.

  She only knew that the other party was named Zheng Yan and that she was female.

  She was the daughter of the old president of the Zheng Corporation. It was said that even though she was born as the daughter of a rich man and was adored by her entire family, she was fiercely competent.

  She did not lose out to any man out in the business industry.

  As such, even though the old president Zheng had got sons, Zheng Yan was still his precious gem.

  He always followed her advice.

  “I have nothing on in the afternoon. We can accommodate them and shift the meeting to then.” After Nian Xiaomu finished speaking, she reached out for the Zheng Corporation’s documents and read them again.

  The Zheng Corporation was a family-owned corporation and they were strong advocates of the traditional Chinese culture. As such, their main businesses had a strong vintage touch as well.

  The corporation’s most popular products were their locally produced beauty and make-up line.

  The products made by the Zheng’s were different from the usual beauty and make-up products in the market; they had used an old recipe that had been handed down the family, and their products were, in fact, more similar to the rouge and powder products from ancient times.

  After they merged the technologies of the modern era into these products, they improved the formulas of beauty products and fragrances that had a strong oriental touch to them. Then, they launched it on the market.

  It was said that the old President Zheng was a very patriotic man.

  Even though the Zheng Corporation had the ability to become a listed company through funding exercises, he was not willing to do so. He was afraid that after the family business turned into a listed company, they would not have absolute control over the company and it would, in turn, affect the corporation’s promotion of the outstanding Chinese culture.

  It was true that such thinking might seem narrow-minded, but the Zheng Family was doing something that many others were unwilling to do.

  As such, the Yu Corporation valued this collaboration greatly.

  They had fully handed the task of negotiation to Nian Xiaomu.

  Nian Xiaomu read the documents in her hand one more time and she had already memorized the Zheng Corporation’s culture and company objectives by heart. However, she still felt that she had missed something out.

  For example, Zheng Yan’s hobby.

  She was actually unable to find any weak points in this person.

  She felt that she could not get to the other party’s bottom line by speaking to someone like her.

  After Nian Xiaomu searched on the internet, she read the proposal that Zheng Yan had worked on one more time.
