Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 708 Stinky Beggar

Chen’an’s executives feared that the situation would escalate and become unmanageable, so they immediately dismissed Wu Daoshan from his position and issued an apology.

Although the heat died down, Chen’an’s stock market took a hit, and its reputation significantly declined.

Having lost his job, Wu Daoshan, out of spite, directly confronted Bai Lu online.

Since his reputation was already ruined, he was determined to drag Bai Lu down with him to ensure that other companies wouldn’t hire her!

However, the next day he received a lawsuit from Star Media accusing him of maliciously defaming their artist, and they even officially announced Bai Lu’s position on their official blog.

Bai Lu also posted an article on Weibo.

"Thank you Star Media for your recognition. Let’s strive for a better future together!"

Wu Daoshan didn’t expect Bai Lu to act so swiftly. In a fit of rage, he had a heart attack and ended up in the hospital.

Bai Lu’s fans felt a triumphant sense of vindication.

Their idol not only escaped her ordeal but also became a sensation, signed with a new company, and was about to star in a new movie—truly a glorious comeback for a leading lady!

Jiang Li also gained a new batch of loyal fans thanks to her significant role.

"Wuwuwu, finally saw Bai Ying struggle through to success; it wasn’t easy at all."

"Thank Jiang Li for helping our darling. From today, you’re my one and only sister."

"Although I’m not so capable, I’m good at scolding people. Anyone who slanders Jiang Li is my enemy."

"Swear to defend the ordinary people! Ordinary people are the best friends we could have at Ying River!"

"Eh, I also heard a gossip that during that day’s quarrel, it was Gu Yu who helped them out."

"What? Really? If it’s true, I start shipping it; if it’s false, I start spreading that it’s true."

Wen Jiaojiao came across this gossip while shopping with Jiang Li.

She quickly put down her hot cocoa and moved closer to Jiang Li.

"Lili, you and that person from Gu Family... it can’t be real, right? I noticed something off between you two when watching the variety show!"

Jiang Li, browsing through the fabrics in the upscale clothing store, responded nonchalantly, "Real or not, we’re just friends."

"Friends can do so much for you?" Wen Jiaojiao pouted. "Why can’t I make friends with a wealthy tycoon?"

"Should I introduce him to you?"

Wen Jiaojiao almost choked on her cocoa, quickly waving her hands, "I wouldn’t be so lucky, my family just runs a small business; we couldn’t possibly connect with the Gu Family. I’d probably be drowned in spit before anything could happen."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and gossiped quietly, "Speaking of which, all these rumors about you and Gu Yu, hasn’t anyone made things difficult for you?"

Jiang Li actually thought about it for a moment.

"It doesn’t seem like it."

"I’ve heard from my other sisters that the Rong Family has been visiting the Gu Mansion frequently, bringing along the young lady of the Rong Family... You should be careful."

"The Rong Family?"

"Have you never heard of them? They are politicians with powerful backgrounds, their ancestors were royalty, and they are a prominent and esteemed family in the Capital."

"If that’s so, it shows their family indeed has capabilities," Jiang Li nodded, "Do you know any good methods they use to discipline their children? Tell me, let me enjoy the story."

Why is this person’s focus always so unexpected?

"Ah, don’t look at that dress anymore." Wen Jiaojiao pulled her aside, "If you really intend to enter the Gu Family, shouldn’t you prepare well? My mom knows a few friends who have some connections with the Gu Family, should I ask around for you later?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "If you really have the time to spare, why not help me find out if there are any dyeing or textile companies in the Capital that are about to go bankrupt?"

Wen Jiaojiao was even more bewildered, "Why do you want me to look into that?"

"I’m planning to buy a textile company, which would be perfect for Jinli to achieve self-production and self-sales."

When it came to doing business, Jiang Li’s interest was immediately ignited.

"Jinli is now on the rise, and I plan to help my mom go public, but as you know, the competition in the apparel industry is fierce. It might take several years to get a spot for going public. If we can acquire a textile company and expand production, like Huaxiu did by opening stores, the chances should be better."

Wen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then began to admire Jiang Li’s idea.

"You actually want to take Jinli public? Huaxiu has only just started to stabilize its footing in the Capital, but the brand your mom created is really good. My mom’s outfits this year were all made in your family’s studio. She even bragged about them to her lady friends for several days. The fabrics and styles of those clothes are really beautiful, I’ve even ordered a cheongsam to wear for the New Year."

"But..." Wen Jiaojiao’s tone shifted, as she began to think seriously, "It seems my dad might actually know a few clothing manufacturers. I’ll ask him for you."

"Great, then as a thank you, I’ll treat you to lunch today."

Wen Jiaojiao hugged Jiang Li’s arm and chuckled mischievously, "I was waiting for you to say that. You’re now a billionaire, so I have to take a bite out of you!"

Jiang Li said, "Then let’s go to Chunxu Building next door to eat. They make very good Chinese dim sum there."

"Sounds great."

After leaving the department store, the two headed to the nearby restaurant.

After a satisfying meal, Wen Jiaojiao was still savoring the taste as they descended the stairs.

"The food there is really good, that saltwater goose was superb, and the braised sea cucumber with swallow was very fragrant. I’ll bring my parents next time."

"As long as you liked it."

As they turned the corner of the stairs, a low scolding came from nearby.

"Why are you still loitering around here begging? Get out quickly, we’re trying to do business here. Everyone coming and going here is important. If they bump into you and you cause damage, can you afford it?!"

The person spoke in a weak voice.

"I, I came to buy something, not, not to beg. It’s just too, too cold outside, I wanted to drink some tea."

"Drink tea? Our cheapest green tea costs over three hundred a cup. Can you afford it? You look exactly like a beggar, get out now, or I’ll call someone!"

Wen Jiaojiao’s indignation flared at the sharp and harsh voice.

She clomped down the stairs in her high heels and directly reprimanded the waiter.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you driving them away? You’re a waiter, not the owner. Shouldn’t you treat them well? He already said he came to drink tea. If he can’t afford it, I’ll pay for his tea."

Saying this, Wen Jiaojiao took out her credit card.

Seeing her dressed in designer clothes, the waiter naturally did not dare to be negligent and apologized several times.

The man beside also sheepishly spoke up, "Miss, it’s okay, I won’t drink it."

"It’s okay, it’s just a cup of tea." Wen Jiaojiao said, raising her head. The next second, the appearance of the man shocked her.

His hair and beard were terrifyingly long, and his clothes were tattered, no wonder the waiter mistook him for a beggar.

But what shocked her even more was yet to come—

"Uncle?"
