"How did you know?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"The Royal Hotel is owned by our Dongfang family. There's nothing happening in the hotel that I don't know about!" Dongfang Mei said with a hint of pride.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi suddenly remembered!
The Royal Hotel was indeed owned by the Dongfang family.
"Your next target is Manager Yang. Manager Yang is an old fox. Do you have any plans?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"I don't have any plans for now!"
Jiang Yi replied, "I'm looking for an opportunity, and I think one will come soon!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mei wore a playful smile.
"Manager Du's incident might also implicate you. You should leave Wanhui Company as soon as possible!" Jiang Yi said with a frown.
"I can't leave!"
Dongfang Mei stated, "If I leave, who will help you?"
Jiang Yi was speechless.
Dongfang Mei hadn't been of much help in Manager Du's matter either!
"Do you think I'm a burden?" Dongfang Mei asked, staring at Jiang Yi.
"I didn't mean that!"
Jiang Yi explained, "I'm worried about your safety. Besides, you can't help me much by staying here. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to Aunt Liu?"
"Don't worry!"
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly, "I've said it before, I'm not stupid. I have the ability to protect myself, so don't underestimate me."
Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
Just then, Hu Niang walked out from the hotel courtyard. Seeing Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei, she wore a faint smile.
Hu Niang's smile struck Jiang Yi as odd.
"Miss Dongfang, hello!"
Hu Niang suddenly greeted Dongfang Mei.
"You know her?" Jiang Yi asked Hu Niang.
"Of course, I do!"
Hu Niang smiled, "Miss Dongfang is no ordinary person. She is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, the future head of the Dongfang family. How could I not know such a prominent figure?"
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected Hu Niang to know Dongfang Mei.
If Dongfang Mei's identity were leaked, it would surely arouse Qiu Fang's suspicion.
Given Qiu Fang's nature, he wouldn't give Dongfang Mei any chance to survive.
Qiu Fang had even killed his most trusted manager, Du, let alone Dongfang Mei.
"Miss Dongfang, I have something to discuss with Jiang Yi. Could you excuse us?" Hu Niang asked Dongfang Mei.
"I don't need to leave!"
Dongfang Mei replied, "I know everything about Jiang Yi's affairs. There's nothing Jiang Yi can hide from me!"
"Miss Dongfang, you are being too disrespectful!" Hu Niang's face showed clear displeasure.
"You're the one being disrespectful!"
Dongfang Mei's gaze fell upon Hu Niang, and she said calmly, "What right do you have to boss me around? Don't think you're so great just because you helped Jiang Yi get rid of Manager Du. Your little tricks are not worth mentioning!"
"Miss Dongfang, you truly have a silver tongue!"
Hu Niang snorted coldly and said, "Apologize to me immediately, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you will regret it."
"Are you threatening me? I'm not afraid of threats. If you have the guts, go tell Qiu Fang my identity. I'd like to see if you dare!" Dongfang Mei sneered.
Hearing this, Hu Niang's face turned furious.
"Fine, you're on your own!"
Hu Niang snorted, turned around directly, got into her car, and drove away.
Jiang Yi had wanted to stop her, but it was too late!
Jiang Yi was exasperated.
"Why did you have to provoke Hu Niang?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I don't like her!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Hu Niang is a very cunning person. I found out some things about her. Her family wasn't killed by people from Wanhui Company. You've been deceived by her! Hu Niang is not simple. Don't be fooled by her; you're still counting money for her!"
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
Hu Niang did indeed seem suspicious.
However, Jiang Yi was more concerned now that Hu Niang might reveal Dongfang Mei's identity to Qiu Fang.
If Qiu Fang found out about this, Dongfang Mei would be in mortal danger at any moment.
Qiu Fang was a ruthless killer.
At that point, even if Dongfang Mei left Wanhui Company, it would be useless.
"You're too impulsive!"
Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei. "If Hu Niang tells Qiu Fang your identity, you'll be in great danger!"
"I'm not afraid!"
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly. "With you protecting me, what do I have to fear?"
Jiang Yi felt helpless.
"From now on, you stay with me. Don't wander off!" Jiang Yi instructed.
"Okay!" Dongfang Mei nodded.
"Where are we going now?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"Home!"
Jiang Yi replied.
Then, Jiang Yi drove Dongfang Mei back to the villa.
Inside the villa's living room at this time.
Li Ping sat on the sofa with a worried expression, her face grim.
Shen Lu, Chen Kun, and Dong Rui were also present, all with unhappy expressions.
"It's my fault for being too impatient and constantly competing for market share. Now we have the market, but we can't produce enough good products. This will cause significant problems for our company and lead to a loss of these markets. All our previous efforts will be in vain!" Li Ping blamed herself.
"Chairman, this is not entirely your fault; we all bear responsibility!" Shen Lu said.
"That's right!"
Dong Rui added, "We actually noticed the problem a while ago, but we didn't take it seriously, which is why this situation has arisen!"
"Actually, I don't think we need to be too pessimistic. If we can resolve this current issue, our company will be able to occupy at least one-third of the market. At that point, our company will be a major corporation in Beijing with a very solid foundation and even more market share!" Chen Kun said.
"What you say makes sense, but our primary concern now is to solve the current problem. Tell me, everyone, how should we tackle these challenges?" Li Ping asked.
"Develop more good products!" Shen Lu replied.
"You're absolutely right!"
Li Ping's gaze fell on Chen Kun. "Our company integrates cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Only by continuously developing good products can we solve the current problems and ensure the company's continuous growth!"
After speaking, Li Ping revealed a look of helplessness.
"We have a solution, but our company's technical staff simply cannot research better products!" Shen Lu sighed deeply.
Chen Kun and Dong Rui also wore troubled expressions.
Suddenly, Shen Lu smiled.
