Chapter 222: Jiangnan Tannery’s Outcome

“Hahaha, Young Master Ye, your vision sure is keen. Thank you for finding me such a good spokesperson!” Jia Di said with a smile on his face. He was delighted with Chen Xiaoyan being the model for his clothes.

As the fashion show came to an end, the banquet for the night finally began.

The rich folks were engaged in conversation and networking. A lot of them would take this chance to get acquainted with the big shots around them, hoping to gain their favor.

While Ye Lingchen was chatting with Jia Di, some people would occasionally come by.

Be it for praise, or get to get closer to Jia Di, they would treat Ye Lingchen respectfully. Even if they were of higher status, at that moment, they all turned courteous.

Right then, a middle-aged man was holding onto a drinking glass, approaching them in a humble manner.

“Greetings, Grandmaster Jia. I’m Wu Youcai from Jiangnan Tannery.”

“Ah, it’s Chairman Wu,” Jia Di acknowledged him with a simple nod.

“Grandmaster Jia, we’re considered acquaintances with Vatti. Let me give you a toast for that.” Having said that, he emptied his glass.

Grandmaster Jia raised the glass in his hand, but it never reached his lips.

With his status, just that reply alone was considered a sufficient response.

“Also, to this young brother. You look capable, definitely someone outstanding. I’ll toast to you as well!” With that, he once again down another glass.

Ye Lingchen did not raise his hand but instead stared at him coldly.

“He’s our guest designer at Vatti, Young Master Ye,” Grandmaster Jia introduced.

His words sent Wu Youcai’s heart racing, almost giving him a heart attack.

Guest designers were a special existence on their own. It was a position for those that a fashion company could not get their hands on. In order to be a guest designer, they would have to be at the apex of their arts. To a certain extent, the guest designer’s status could be considered a level beyond the lead designer.

It was because the guest designers were not held back by the company!

He had never heard of Vatti having any guest designers!

“Hahaha, Young Master Ye is so capable despite his young age. I am ashamed. One glass won’t suffice to represent my respect for you. Another toast!” Wu Youcai downed another glass without any hesitation.

“Actually, my son is of similar age to Young Master Ye. Too bad that he’s lazy and untalented, causing me much worry. If only he had a tenth of your abilities, I would thank the heavens.”

Right after Wu Youcai finished his statement, his gaze fell upon a young man and waved him over.

“This is my son Wu Junjie. You’re both young men and might have some common topics,” Wu Youcai tried buttering up to Ye Lingchen, introducing his son happily.

Wu Youcai was elated. First, for managing to have a word with Jia Di. Next was to get close to Ye Lingchen. If his son could establish a connection with Ye Lingchen, then his Jiangnan Tannery’s future would be guaranteed.

He already planned to have his son butter up Ye Lingchen at all costs!

Wu Junjie kept his head lowered, not daring to look at Ye Lingchen. At that moment, his entire body was trembling from fear.

“I know your son!” Ye Lingchen spoke calmly.

Right in front of Wu Junjie’s fearful eyes, Ye Lingchen slowly said, “Do you still remember our earlier conversation?”

Wu Junjie’s trembling worsened, his mouth chattered, but no words came.

Wu Youcai’s heart skipped a beat. He felt a gloom encroach upon him, gripped by an ominous feeling.

Inferring from his son’s words earlier, he felt a tight squeeze in his heart and almost passed out. The person his son pissed off was Young Master Ye?

“You worthless son! How dare you bother Young Master Ye?!” Wu Youcai gave a resounding slap on Wu Junjie’s face, helplessness and fury filled his eyes.

Wu Junjie’s face was red and swollen, standing still in a daze.

“Young Master Ye, please forgive my son’s ignorance. Just let him off like you would a fart.” Wu Youcai was putting on a bitter smile, the glass in his hands shaking.

In just an instant, his back was drenched in sweat. Jiangnan Tannery’s life and death depended on just a single thought.

“Quickly apologize to Young Master Ye!” Wu Youcai roared, his eyes were bloodshot.

“Young Master Ye, I’m sorry to have bothered you.” Wu Junjiue lowered his head, stealing a glance at Ye Lingchen’s expression from the corner of his eyes.

However, Ye Lingchen’s eyes remained emotionless. He asked calmly, “I just asked you. Do you remember the words I said before?”

“What’s worth remembering? You think you can act so insolently just because you’re close to Grandmaster Jia? It’s already an honor for you to receive my apology. What else do you want?!” Wu Junjie shouted in defiance.

Ye Lingchen was still young. Therefore, Wu Junjie did not expect Ye Lingchen to have any achievements.

Smack!

Wu Youcai’s expression turned grim, landing another slap on Wu Junjie’s face. “Scoundrel! Why did I have a son like you?! Just because you made nothing of your life doesn’t mean others would be the same! Are you trying to drag our entire family to death?!”

Following that, he turned to look at Ye Lingchen. “Young Master Ye, I will surely teach this idiot a lesson. Please forgive him.”

Ye Lingchen shook his head. “I’ve made it clear earlier. If he knelt and apologized, I can overlook all that’s happened. Apparently he’s unable to do that.”

Wu Youcai saw the coldness in Ye Lingchen’s eyes, causing his face to turn pale. Before he could say another word, Ye Lingchen had already taken his leave.

His pleading eyes unwittingly shifted onto Jia Di, who stayed silent all the while.

Nonetheless, Jia Di remained emotionless, announcing in a cold tone, “From today onwards, Vatti will end all collaborations with Jiangnan Tannery. We will no longer source any raw materials from Jiangnan Tannery!”

One simple announcement was sufficient to send Wu Youcai’s heart into the depths of a chasm. He had seemingly aged ten years in that instant, appearing absolutely pitiful.

Wu Junjie, on the other hand, was stunned, his mind blown!

At that moment, he finally understood how much trouble he was in, what kind of person he just crossed.

Vatti ceasing all collaborations with Jiangnan Tannery would cause its status to plummet all the way to the bottom. Moreover, boycotting all of Jiangnan Tannery’s raw materials would also cause other vendors to cease their partnership with the tannery!

Vicious!

Ruthless!

In just a few days, Jiangnan Tannery would lose all its current glory!

Thud!

He knelt down in Ye Lingchen’s direction, “Young Master Ye, I’m really sorry. Please forgive me this one time.”

However, Ye Lingchen paid him no heed and left without looking back.

Many onlookers were looking at the dejected father and son duo from the Wu family, shaking their heads as they criticized them.

Those business partners that were previously on good terms with Jiangnan Tannery disappeared without a trace, trying to distance themselves from the tannery.

It was clear to them that Jiangnan Tannery would be a thing of the past in the near future…
