Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Heng didn’t dare to speak and the huge Jiang family mansion instantly fell silent again. It was so quiet that one could even hear the crickets outside the house.

Jiang Heng was about to ask the servant to close the door when he heard the sound of a car braking. It seemed like Xu Zhi was here.

This was another point that Jiang Heng couldn’t understand. The Xu family’s generation was rich and prosperous. Just their generation alone had five boys and three girls. Excluding Xu Lang, who was the least favored, there were still six people to choose from. However, why did his cousin, Jiang Chen, choose Xu Zhi, who was the most awkward and stubborn one?

Actually, Xu Zhi wasn’t close to the other Xu family members. He was the only son in his family, so they let him do whatever he wanted. Since he wanted to learn design, they spent a lot of money to send him to the best school and even got Wang Jiao to be his mentor through their connections with the Wang family.

Every time the Xu family gathered and the Jiang and Xu families ate together, Xu Zhi either had something on or wanted to find inspiration at home. Only on the day of Jiang Heng and Xu Xin’s wedding did Xu Zhi arrive on time, but he wasn’t very friendly to the Xu family.

However, Jiang Chen valued him very much. Xu Zhi was one of the few people in the Xu family who had seen Jiang Chen before.

Jiang Chen even asked Jiang Heng, Xu Xin, and Xu Lang to go to Xu Zhi’s house to persuade him to work at Down Ridge Clothes Workshop.

Xu Zhi walked in and was still wearing the suit he wore to the ball. However, he didn’t look very happy and even looked a little haggard.

He was his cousin after all, so Jiang Heng was concerned about him. “Cousin, are you alright? Why do you look so tired just from attending a ball?”

Xu Zhi forced a smile and said, “Brother-in-law, I’m fine. Maybe 1 haven’t slept well for the past two days.”

Ever since he parted ways with Shi Yi that day, Xu Zhi had not rested well. He thought of Shi Yi every night, but at the same time, he also thought of the feud between the two families. The feeling of wanting to be together at all costs but having no choice but to face reality tortured him almost every day and night.

Jiang Chen got up from the desk, walked to the sofa, and sat down. “Why are you standing there? Cousin, please sit down.”

Xu Zhi nodded politely and sat down opposite Jiang Chen. “Cousin, why did you call me here today?”

Jiang Chen raised his hand and moved his fingers slightly. After Zheng Tian placed a document on the coffee table in front of him, Jiang Chen pushed the document to the other corner of the coffee table and in front of Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi glanced at Jiang Chen, who gestured for him to open it. Hence, Xu Zhi opened the document and read its contents.

After reading it, he was shocked. “Cousin, this, this is?”

The corners of Jiang Chen’s lips curled up into a smile. He had a gentle appearance to begin with, so when he smiled like this, people would usually let down their guard. “As you can see.”

Xu Zhi didn’t dare to believe it and read the document carefully once again. In this document, there was a simple analysis of Yushu Buyi’s business situation, as well as the product management concept, the target customer group, and so on. There was also the operation method of Down Ridge Clothes Workshop.

It could be said that this was a business plan specifically targeted at Yushu Buyi after analyzing it in detail.

Xu Zhi didn’t understand. Although he had always known that Yushu Buyi and the Down Ridge Clothes Workshop were rivals and the two families were in a competitive relationship, Xu Zhi still couldn’t believe that they were engaging in such obvious targeting. It was as if Down Ridge Clothes Workshop didn’t have anything else to do and only existed to destroy Yushu Buyi.

More importantly, Xu Zhi was already the most important part of this business plan.

Jiang Chen gave Zheng Tian a look. Zheng Tian immediately understood and explained to Xu Zhi, “Young Master Xu, Shi Yi is now the head of Yushu Buyi’s design department and is also the main designer of Yushu Buyi’s new products. Only you know her design style the best and can design works that are targeted at her. Therefore, you are the most important part of Down Ridge Clothes Workshop’s plan to defeat Yushu Buyi..”
