Chapter 1524: Chapter 1523: Showing Off?

This kind of invitation is usually sent directly to the main household.

Then the family will decide who exactly will attend.

Li Yan and Gu Tong hadn’t gone back yesterday.

Qingwan happened to seize on that as an excuse and went over herself.

Feng Ruyue frowned and said, "Tong girl, that second madam of your family is really full of herself. She said she came up with something new, strutting around like she’s got scallions stuck in her nose and eyes, boasting all over the circle, acting like she can’t wait to press Li Yan’s head down."

Showing off?

Gu Tong’s eyes went wide. "What exactly is she showing off about?"

Feng Ruyue explained, "It’s about the launch of the new phone. Her niece has been bragging everywhere, saying this talent was promoted by Second Madam Gong, that she brought profits to the company and so on, all of it hyping up Gong Qingwan’s contribution."

Qingwan was never like this before; she used to look rather deep and composed, not the type to act so arrogant. But now she’s changed completely, putting on this rampant attitude, like she’s deliberately putting on a show for people.

It really is a bit strange.

Not just Feng Ruyue—even a few other ladies from various families all felt there was something off about this.

Gu Tong frowned slightly. "Gong Qingwan really said that?"

The original plan was to wait until the dog was driven to the wall and then strike, so they could claim righteous cause. Who would’ve thought Qingwan would be so impatient and take the initiative to attack first.

This move was so fast that even Gu Tong found it a bit hard to believe.

Could it be Qingwan isn’t afraid that Li Yan still has a card up his sleeve? Normally, whatever you do, you’d guard against a counter first and only then make a move.

Feng Ruyue also frowned and replied, "It’s mainly that niece of hers, going around inside and out, trumpeting it everywhere. Everything she says is aimed squarely at Li Yan."

Stuff like how Li Yan doesn’t actually have any real ability, has never done business, and after coming to the branch office still can’t shoulder the big responsibility. If not for having Qingwan as his backing, propping him up, the branch would never have these results—various lines like that, all of them extremely unpleasant.

She not only grabbed all the credit and piled it onto Qingwan’s head, she also kept splashing dirty water all over Li Yan.

Openly and covertly she said a lot, but the theme was only one: when it comes to this new phone launch, whose name should the credit really go under.

In fact, quite a few big families are willing to buy this narrative. After all, all these years the Li Family really has been supported entirely by Qingwan alone, and people from the various families have a certain understanding of her abilities.

So under these circumstances, someone hyping her skills naturally doesn’t arouse much suspicion.

It has to be said, their coordination is quite smooth. Looks like they’ve done this sort of thing more than a few times in the past.

Gu Tong frowned, but didn’t fully take this to heart. "You can’t expect ivory out of a dog’s mouth. Their mouths are on their own faces, so let them talk. We’re not going to get ourselves worked up over it and spoil our mood."

Feng Ruyue wasn’t stupid; she easily understood the deeper meaning in Gu Tong’s words. If that’s how it is, then this matter is clearly already counted for in that couple’s minds, and there’s no need for outsiders to fuss.

Feng Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "Since you and your husband both have it measured out in your hearts, then I can be at ease."

If that’s the case, then Feng Ruyue could quietly sit back and watch the show. Naturally she didn’t need to care how wildly Qingwan strutted around. When the time comes, who wins and who loses is still up in the air.
