My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Never Expected It to Come to This
 

Su Peisheng pondered for a long time,

“Based on the cases we’ve seen at our law office, we’ve encountered all kinds of people. Often, you only find out the motive after the incident occurs. Anyway, my advice is that if a single woman lives alone, it’s safer to install a surveillance camera. If you need one, I have friends who specialize in selling these.”

Su Peisheng was merely suggesting, but Wenya was quick to agree.

“Of course, I need one. It would be best to have one with an automatic alarm function that can scare off intruders with an automatic alert.”

“Alright, I’ll call my friend in a bit to ask.”

“What do you mean ‘in a bit’? Do it now!”

Urged by Wenya, Su Peisheng immediately called his friend.

After getting in touch, it turned out his friend did have stock on hand and soon drove over in a van.

They started the installation right at the scene.

Not only did they install a camera at the front door, but they also set up several cameras in the living room and the backyard.

After the installation was complete, Wenya then took me out for dinner.

Though it was nominally dinner, once we arrived, I realized it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

This was actually a gathering within Su Peisheng’s high-society circle, with many industry magnates in attendance.

Wenya, holding my hand, pointed to a man in a suit in the distance,

“You know Boss Zhou, right? He’s a Chinese entrepreneur with many chain supermarkets overseas. If you can get your clothes into his stores, it would undoubtedly open up a new market.”

“Wenya, since when did you have such connections?”

“Hehe, I nagged Su Peisheng for it. Anyway, friends should help each other out.”

I understood Wenya’s mood very well; she was indeed always considering things for me.

There were many people present.

“Nagged for it?”

“Yeah, he had a bunch of nonsense issues before. Let me tell you, being a lawyer actually has its own circle. He made friends by winning lawsuits for people. So, the longer you are a lawyer, the more powerful people you have in your circle!”

Wenya’s conversation no longer hid her affection for Su Peisheng.

It seemed that their relationship had progressed even further.

I casually asked,

“When are you two getting married?”

Su Peisheng glanced at Wenya and shrugged helplessly,

“Everything’s ready, just missing the east wind. But the east wind isn’t willing now.”

Wenya glared at him,

“What’s this about east wind and west wind? I don’t understand your nonsense. I don’t think you have any intention of getting married at all.”

“How could I not? I’m… I’m so anxious I’m about to burst into flames, like tinder waiting for a blaze, almost sprouting flowers from the wait. But she won’t give in, she won’t agree, what can I do?”

The two of them were gesturing and arguing.

I laughed and said,

“Su Peisheng, when it comes to marriage, the man needs to take more initiative. I’ve got a tip for you, prepare a formal proposal tomorrow, and go directly to the Wen Family to ask for her hand.”

“Alright, that settles it. I’ll prepare a pig and a case of Maotai liquor tomorrow and go straight to your place. What do you say? Will you open the door for me?”

“No way, Su Peisheng… ”

Su Peisheng, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic, introducing me to his circle of friends one by one.

It seemed that for his sake, they were also willing to give me a chance.

“High-end custom fashion, right? Get one for my wife! Oh, do you have anything for middle-aged and elderly people? Two sets each for my mother and aunt, and if you do suits, I’ll order three.”

“Sure, thank you!”

Although each order was small, they all represented opportunities. If handled well, they could lead to becoming regular major clients.

Moreover, with word of mouth, there was no worry about the business not doing well.

“Miss Song, can you make qipaos?”

“Yes! Our shop specializes in handcrafted embroidery and traditional Chinese buttons, offering finely crafted work. Here are some samples from previous years for your review.”

I handed over the promotional brochure I was holding.

In fact, Zhenyi Company did have cultural depth, having been in A City for so many years.

Additionally, in the recent period, I had also integrated some of the market’s hot-selling styles. My goal was to have everything others had,

and also have what others did not.

Only then could we maintain an unbeatable position.

I had never felt there was any problem with my vision and creativity.

Indeed, after showcasing my portfolio around the room, I received many orders.

I was delighted and took out the orders I had prepared in advance, ready to sign contracts with everyone when

suddenly, a deep voice intruded.

“How come you didn’t invite me to your little gathering?”

I turned around and my smile gradually froze on my face.

The figure in the white shirt and black trousers, with his stern demeanor, was none other than Ding Yinuo.

Ding Yinuo unfastened his tie around his neck, sat down on the sofa, picked up a glass of red wine without invitation, and drank it directly.

Only then did I stand up.

This was originally supposed to be Ding Yinuo’s wine party.

Yes, Ding Yinuo and Su Peisheng were part of the same social circle.

Practically all of Su Peisheng’s friends were also friends with Ding Yinuo.

I looked at Ding Yinuo, and from his casual dark eyes, I sensed a foreboding feeling.

While everyone greeted him, he held his wine glass and scanned the room, his dark eyes chilling,

“What, have I become so unpopular lately that you need to find outsiders for your tailor-made clothes?”

The implication was that they shouldn’t have come to me for tailoring…

Being friends, of course, no one wanted to offend Ding Yinuo.

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

It was Su Peisheng who broke the awkward silence, saying with a forced smile to Ding Yinuo,

“Mr. Ding, what are you talking about? We grew up together; who doesn’t know who? Isn’t it all the same whom we order from? Don’t you think?”

Ding Yinuo lifted his face and let out a cold laugh,

“What are you saying, do you think ordering clothes from an outsider is the same as ordering from me?”

Su Peisheng chuckled, “Listen to you talking, how is Miss Song an outsider? Isn’t she your girlfriend? Everyone ordered from her out of consideration for that relationship. Right, folks?”

Su Peisheng was slick, and with his call, the others chimed in,

“Exactly, Mr. Ding, you and your wife…”

Ding Yinuo interrupted everyone sharply,

“Shut up, what wife. We’re already divorced. I have nothing to do with her now, oh, no, that’s not true, there is a relationship, we are now competitors. If you support her, it’s the same as opposing me.”

Ding Yinuo’s remarks were clear and explicit, laying out the stakes.

It meant it was either him or me, not both.

So, following his statement, these people one by one expressed their intentions to withdraw their orders from me.
