Chapter 753: Ambition and Sin
As Shen Qianshu just joined BG, she was not really busy. The company was already slowly going towards the right track. The biggest problem with private Haute Couture was its branding and customer source. Chen Wanwan had a very wide network, and her friends were all celebrities. Thus, they had nothing to worry about customer source.
The branding was done really well too. It was currently really well-known in the private Haute Couture industry.
As long as the customer source and branding were done well, there would always be business for private Haute Couture.
The only limitation was how were they going to expand it.
Shen Qianshu was in charge of Guan Xiaoman’s and the others’ designs recently and thus spent most of her time at home.
AG actually did not publicly announce the news of Ye Ling’s revival. He was in contact with the Vice President and Ye Tingjun all along and kept the news under wraps really well, up until one day when the Ye Old Lady graced them with her presence. On that day, Ye Ling happened to have something on with Ye Tingjun and was not in the castle.
The old lady only brought along one person. Shen Qianshu did not stop them and ordered the guards to let them in.
The old lady was really furious. Rose Castle was neat and orderly and not messy. Even though Ye Ling was not around, Rose Castle was not messy at all. In contrast, her grandchildren from her eldest son were all not very obedient, and the old lady was really displeased.
Tong Hua had a busy schedule today, and he was suffering from the flu. His usual orderly lifestyle was being messed up, and he was still in bed at 10 in the morning. Shen Qianshu welcomed Ye Old Lady by herself, but she had no respect at all for the old lady.
“What can I do for you today?” Shen Qianshu smiled and asked. “I have already said everything I’m supposed to say to you clearly. AG is Ye Ling’s years of hard work, and he will not hand it over to you. With regards to Ye Feifei and Ye Bao, they asked for it themselves. There’s nothing much to compromise regarding this matter too. No matter how many times you come to Rose Castle to look for me, it’s useless.”
“Are you really not scared that I will announce Ye Ling’s mental illness to the whole world?”
Shen Qianshu laughed. Ye Ling was still alive, so this little bit of threat was nothing to her. If he were dead, she really would be cautious against taking action.
“I’m not scared,” Shen Qianshu said calmly.
“Ye Ling only means this much to you!”
“Whatever you say.” Shen Qianshu was not afraid at all.
Ye Old Lady smiled meaningfully. “I come here today entrusted by someone to pass this to you.”
The old lady took out a gold-stamped invite. A black rose was printed on it, and it was completely sprinkled with gold powder.
Alluring and mysterious with a smell of fear.
Black Rose?
“Do you know who gave you the invite?” Shen Qianshu asked.
“I don’t know,” Ye Old Lady said. “She only told me that she was unable to go near you and thus asked me to pass it to you on her behalf. She also told me that you would be interested. With regards to other things, I am not concerned too.”
Shen Qianshu’s smile froze, and she felt an unexplainable fear. This was obviously a trap, but it was also considered a Pandora’s box. Opening it or not, she clearly knew that Black Rose did not mean well. Open it, and there would be danger.
Keep it closed, and there would be temptation.
“There will never be a good outcome, making a deal with a monster.”
“Then, we have to see. What outcome will it be?” Ye Old Lady stood up and looked at her coldly. “Shen Qianshu, when I was your age, I used to have a huge ambition too. After you have children, you will realize that everything I have done was just for the whole family.”
“No, everything you have done is just for yourself,” Shen Qianshu said calmly. “Don’t claim your sins to be so noble and glorious. This is such a joke.”
