Chapter 297: Chapter 298: Blocking Xu Ying from Attending the Diplomatic Meeting Chapter 297: Chapter 298: Blocking Xu Ying from Attending the Diplomatic Meeting “These are mannequins after all, and ones that everyone across the country might encounter; she didn’t believe that among so many people, not one would fancy their decorative items.”

Zhang Min agreed without hesitation; just by giving a contact number, they could get so much stuff for free, an incredible deal.

“Don’t worry, Yingying, leave this to me.”

Xu Ying nodded her head, and once Zhang Min had left, she lay comfortably on the bed.

It was so much more comfortable being alone in the room–quiet, peaceful, with no one to disturb her.

“System, set an alarm for me!” Xu Ying said, and then immediately fell asleep.

Xu Ying slept comfortably in the single room, while Liu Suqin, full of fury, was seeking help: “Where’s Xu Ying, where did that girl go?”

Mr. Sun saw this furious young woman and stood up curiously, “Who are you, and what do you want with Xu Ying?”

Liu Suqin glanced at Mr. Sun, guessing who he might be, and looked at him arrogantly as she threatened, “You really are from a small place, not knowing any manners.

I need to speak with her, let her come out.”

As soon as Liu Suqin made this remark, Zhang Aiguo immediately frowned beside her: “Suqin, that’s not how uncle taught you to speak.”

Minister Bai, sitting aside, also frowned; what’s wrong with being from a small place? Small places too can have a patriotic heart.

“Who are you calling uncultured? So, people from big cities are cultured?” Mr. Sun was infuriated, although the girl looked pretty and refined, her words were incredibly unpleasant.

Mr. Niu saw Mr. Sun was getting furious and quickly held him back: “Old Sun, we’re both too old for this, why bother quarreling with a child?”

Mr. Sun glared with bulging eyes, Old Niu was easy to talk without pain, it wasn’t him being scolded.

“I can’t stand people talking badly about little Xu, such a good girl, for the sake of staying and developing in Yu County, she once turned down an invitation from the director of Magic City Food Factory.

Just think about it, this girl’s heart is dedicated to our Yu County, to our Yu Province; letting others slander her,
that’s just hurting her loyal heart.”

Mr. Sun intentionally raised his voice so that Minister Bai could hear him.

Minister Bai’s face changed upon hearing this, didn’t expect the director from Shanghai to be so shameless, blatantly headhunting.

Luckily, that girl Ying was firm-willed, or else their Yu Province would have lost a talent.

As a minister of Yu Province, he definitely would not stand by and watch his own people be bullied.

Minister Bai stood rigidly, expressionless, with an innate authority of a senior official instantly emanating, “Miss, I don’t know how Xu Ying has offended you?

To make you speak so disrespectfully about manners, it seems you’re no better yourself; you might look decent, but why are your words so ugly?”

Director Tian watched their minister excitedly, there he goes, the sharp-tongued minister has arrived.

Oh, the poor girl, to have run into Minister Bai like this.

No wait, why would Minister Bai defend Ying for nothing? Could it be he actually values their food and textile factories?

Director Tian instantly felt a backlash, a textile factory that should be focusing on making cloth, now competing in business with them.

If this isn’t stopped, could their fashion factory even participate in the next trade convention?

Before Director Tian could step forward and intervene,
Minister Bai, looking at Liu Suqin crying hysterically, was again annoyed, “You cry after a few words, yet you were so righteous when slandering others.

It’s only because our Xu Ying is timid and doesn’t know how to fight back that she’s bullied by you.

So go on, tell us how she was uncultured and bullied you? If you can’t, don’t even think about leaving today.”

Liu Suqin looked at Minister Bai in shock; if Xu Ying was considered timid, then there was no one courageous in the world.

“You are protecting her, she just said to the train conductor that I am a thief, how can she say that without evidence,” Liu Suqin said, crying as if her heart was broken.

Minister Liu, who had always been at odds with Minister Bai, spoke up at this time, “Minister Bai, you are being too harsh.

Even if Xu Ying is your person, you can’t just protect her like this.”

Liu Suqin wiped her tears and nodded. She fiercely glared at Zhang Aiguo next to her; she was helping her uncle with his work.

And him? He did nothing.

“I was the one helping everyone with translations this time, yet Xu Ying falsely accused me of being a thief. I just wanted to seek justice from her.

Even if you are reluctant, there’s no need to scold me like this.”

As soon as more people entered, Liu Suqin, who had been acting high and mighty, suddenly became utterly weak, and tears slid down her cheeks.

Coupled with her tone of voice, it was easy to be misunderstood.

Many people from the factory instantly felt sympathy and looked at Liu Suqin with a sense of righteousness, “Miss, tell us the whole story from beginning to end, and we will ensure justice is served.”

Seeing this, Liu Suqin recounted the day’s events, and many men, moved by pity and affection, could no longer restrain themselves.

They angrily looked at Minister Bai demanding an explanation, “Minister Bai, you must give us an explanation, that Xu Ying has gone too far in bullying.”

Minister Bai looked embarrassed.

Others pressed further, “Call Xu Ying out, call her out.”

“Right, call her out.”

Liu Suqin watched this scene with great satisfaction.

Uncle Jiujiang had said not to let that girl attend the foreign affairs meeting; with such a commotion now, it should also stop that girl.

“Minister Bai, hurry up and call that girl out,” Minister Liu said teasingly, looking at him — a mere small factory daring to disgrace him.

Today, he would let that girl learn her lesson.

“Are you calling me?”

She leaned quietly against the door of the carriage, her hair disheveled, yawning lazily, with a look of cold arrogance in her eyes.

She took in the clamor and taunts of these people with merely a cold laugh, “Why have you stopped talking?”

The previously noisy carriage suddenly fell silent.

Liu Suqin, seeing Xu Ying’s breathtaking beauty, flashed a hint of jealousy in her eyes, and soon covered her face and cried again, “It’s her, she falsely accused me of being a thief.”

Xu Ying narrowed her eyes, a playful look in her gaze, slowly stood up, and disdainfully glanced in her direction, “Miss Liu, think carefully before you speak.”

“Xu Ying, are you threatening me?” Liu Suqin said, infuriated and embarrassed.

Xu Ying casually played with her delicate, jade-like hands and said with a smile, “You see, Miss Liu and I have met before.

I just don’t understand, as a person from Shanghai, does Miss Liu consider herself superior?

The first time we met, she mocked the food we brought from small places as being unclean, using such an ugly face to insult us country folk.

Was the apology last time not sincere, so this time you deliberately came to seek revenge?”

“What happened last time?” someone in the car asked curiously.

Liu Suqin immediately became panicked, her body stiffened, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead: “Xu Ying, stop spouting nonsense.”

“Oh, or else I will bring out the evidence, that gentleman specifically recorded a video for me back then.

Right, that newspaper from back then is still around; would you like to take a look?” Xu Ying chuckled lightly, her face full of disdain.
