Chapter 114 - The better his reputation before, the worse it was backfiring on him now (3)

The last thing that Li WangJin wanted to do was to kowtow to Fang JunRong for favors and definitely not over something like this. Nevertheless, Wang SiXian had cried so much in front of him. When she cried with her head bowed, he couldnt see the scars on her face and she reminded him a lot of Wang SiEr.

Li WangJin swallowed the words that he had to reject her. Somewhat irritated, he said to her, Ill give it a try.

He would not ask Fang JunRong himself, but he could ask someone else for help as long as they didnt reveal that he was the one behind it. It might be silly, but it was still better than him doing it in person and offering himself up for insults.

ShiZhi had already broken up with YaGe and has been very close to Miss Deng lately. He didnt care for the Dengs, but it was better that his son was dating Deng Lan than him being stubborn about YaGe. Perhaps, he could ask the Dengs to reach out to Fang JunRong for a few boxes of the Beautify Pills.

One way or another, he would not be the one to go groveling at Fang JunRong.

He suddenly thought of something. He opened up his contact list, located Fang JunRongs number, and hit dial.

The very next second, his face turned dark.

Melodious music was playing and wine was being poured and consumed inside the grandeur lobby. People under the lights looked like they were wearing masks made by the same company as they chitchatted with each other.

Fang JunRong was invited to this banquet by her friend, Ning Qing. Ning Qing seemed to be in the process of starting her own security company and had been hosting a lot of banquets as of late to widen her network. Fang JunRong had a pretty good relationship with Ning Qing, and since she was starting to get tired from all the work lately, she decided to come for a relaxing night.

She had been extremely popular as of late, and many came over to chat her up as soon as she had arrived. Some of them subtly suggested that they would like to partner up with her. Fang JunRong chatted with them politely, then when nobody was paying attention, she snuck out onto the patio.

With a glass of wine in hand and looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Fang JunRong felt a sense of calmness washed over her.

Unfortunately, that calmness did not last too long before someone came over.

She turned around and saw a slightly chubby woman walking over to her. The woman covered up her mouth and made a surprised look. Eh? I thought there was nobody over here and wanted to come over for a break. I didnt realize that Boss Fang is here as well. What a coincidence!

That was some overacting if she had ever seen one.

Fang JunRong gave her a failing grade in her mind and also recognized who the person was. Liu Zhu.

She was Deng Lans mother. Fang JunRong's impression of her has always been that Liu Zhu was a woman who always agreed with anything that her husband said. She has an overall low demeanor. She was mentioned again toward the end of the book that when Deng Lans improper actions were exposed, Li ShiZe got revenge against the Dengs along with a few other individuals and destroyed their family.

Liu Zhu had no idea about Fang JunRongs opinion on her. She was very happy that Fang JunRong remembered her.

Her attitude was eager. Boss Fang, you are truly getting prettier and prettier by the day and don't look like a mother of two at all. You have no idea how many around me had used your Beautify Pills and raved about it to me.

Fang JunRong cocked her head a little and gave her a very standard smile. If you want, you can give me your address. I will have someone sell you a few boxes at retail price. She wasnt going to just hand over some Beautify Pills for free.

Thinking that her daughter had been dating Fang JunRongs son lately, Liu Zhu felt very confident in herself. Ive heard that your company makes an even better product but those are not for sale. And that you only provide them to your friends. Do you think I can have the honor to be a friend of yours?

Fang JunRong has no shortage of them but that didnt mean she wanted to give them to this person for free. Low and behold, an angry voice chimed in before she could turn Liu Zhu down.

Shameless! You call yourself a friend of Fang JunRong? What makes you think you can just ask her for them!

Fang JunRong turned and saw Sun Mei walking over while holding up a corner of her dress.

Fang JunRong thought to herself: Em, no, Sun Mei isnt exactly a friend either.

Sun Mei obviously lacked the self-awareness and said very righteously, Even if she is going to give them away, shed give them to a real friend like me first. Who do you think you are? Do you think I have no idea that you and your husband are close with Li WangJin? Well, are you trying to straddle the fence here?

Fang JunRong: Excellent. Sun Mei is going to be her friend in the next hour that follows.
