A week had passed since Tang Moyu's return to Shenzhen. The opening of the newest branch of The Black Nightingale was under the wraps. Only she, Li Meili and Elaine Wu were aware of it. Not even Feng Tianyi was aware of what his wife had on her mind and was oblivious of her plans to go against Liu Ruoyan.

  While Feng Tianyi was busy dealing with Zion Inc. and the other companies who blatantly challenged Qing Tian Group, Tang Moyu was also busy planning with Li Meili and working on the preparations for the upcoming inauguration of Xiao Xing's headquarters in Shenzhen.

  With such a high rise of nouveau riche in the country, it also meant that Xiao Xing had an undoubtedly strategic market to grow. The growth of the middle and upper classes, and urbanization remained strong and were also expected to improve the jewelry market conditions in the next few years.

  With demand in the first-tier cities reaching maturity, second and third-tier cities become a more important driver of growth and would contribute more to the jewelry market.

  Anyway, the market in the first-tier cities was obviously not shrinking, so Tang Moyu wasn't really worried about Xiao Xing not being able to follow the trend of the market these days.

  If they were able to keep up their partnership with other jewelry companies, providing the rare diamonds they needed while building their own brand and collections, Xiao Xing would be fine on its own and need not become part of Qing Tian Group anytime soon.

  Tang Moyu's phone rang, taking her attention away from the work she was doing on her laptop. She'd been reviewing the long list of guests that Cheng Ning emailed her earlier, confirming that most of the invitation for Xiao Xing's inauguration was already sent.

  Tang Moyu glanced at her phone and noticed that it was Li Meili who was calling her. At the third ring, she picked up the phone and connected the line with her best friend.

  "Hey, Moyu. I already purchased the property right in front of Liu Ruoyan's company. Are you sure about this?" Li Meili didn't bother to greet her and voiced her concern at once.

  "It's fine. That's the best way to annoy Liu Ruoyan to death."

  Petty? What is being petty? Did people assume that the empress couldn't possibly act petty like this?

  Since Liu Ruoyan dared to seduce her husband and make her daughter cry, what better way to get even with that woman other than getting on her nerves? Liu Ruoyan would surely get pissed off everytime she sees Black Nightingale signage just outside her company.

  Li Meili laughed at that. It was rare for her to see her best friend act like this, but she had to admit it must be a sight to see, imagining Liu Ruoyan's face burned with anger as she saw Black Nightingale's sign every single time she was at Golden Elegance. Tang Moyu surely knew how to get on her enemies' nerves without breaking a sweat.

  "So what's next?" She inquired. Now that she established the newest branch of The Black Nightingale, Li Meili was ready for the next step, along with Elaine Wu, who was now undergoing an orientation at The Black Nightingale's branch here in Shenzhen.

  "Is Elaine ready to move to Beijing now? Your latest collection should also be ready once we open the doors of Beijing's branch soon." Tang Moyu leaned against her seat and twirled the pen in her hand in boredom.

  She heard Li Meili hummed at the other end of the line.

  "Yes, I can confirm that Miss Elaine already knew the basics, as you said. I think she's ready and is just waiting for a go signal from you and me so she can fly to Beijing anytime. Are you sure she would be fine? I'm sure Liu Ruoyan would try to confront her once she's there." Li Meili voiced out her concerns.

  "Don't underestimate Elaine Wu, Meili. Although she's inexperienced in the field, she's still an heiress of a huge company overseas. Compared to her status and wealth, Liu Ruoyan is nothing." Tang Moyu wasn't worried about it at all. While she knew that Elaine Wu had a happy go lucky attitude, that didn't mean she didn't have the pride of an heiress.

  There was no doubt that Elaine Wu had already met several people like Liu Ruoyan in the past, she only needed to hone her skills on how to deliver a 'bitchcraft' in return.

  "I see. Then I'll arrange Miss Elaine's flight then. Would you be coming to Beijing anytime soon?" She asked Tang Moyu. As her best financer, how could Li Meili not invite the empress?

  "I'll have to check with Cheng Ning. The inauguration for Xiao Xing is in a week. I'm expecting you and Elaine to attend together." Tang Moyu replied.

  "Of course!" Li Meili giggled at the other end of the line. When she informed Elaine Wu about Tang Moyu's invitation, the woman had been excited, as it was her first time attending a formal event in Shenzhen. This was also a good opportunity for her to meet and see respectable and influential personalities in the country.

  "Do you need a dress for the event? After all, you are about to be introduced as Xiao Xing's newest CEO. I'm sure people would be surprised to see you working alongside the devil at Xiao Xing." Li Meili asked.

  "You don't have to worry about that, Meili. I still have a dozen dresses I haven't used yet, and all of them are from you." Tang Moyu answered. She wasn't planning to become the star of the party anyway, but it was inevitable that people would be curious about her.

  "Alright. We will be there to support you. Miss Elaine and I won't miss it for sure." The Black Nightingale assured her.
