Chapter 20: A Corporate Titan Arrives to Apologize, Leaving Yang Mi Stunned!

Page 1 of 3

He Baibai wore a gleeful expression.

“Haha, she got exactly what she deserved!”

“She brought it entirely upon herself. I heard the first thing Jiaxing’s new chairman did after taking office was fire Wu Yufei!”

“Now none of the other companies dare hire her either.”

Although the matter had nothing to do with Yang Mi, she had to admit that she felt rather pleased. After all, Wu Yufei had been absolutely despicable before.

After reading the news online, Yang Mi handed the phone back to He Baibai and said calmly, “It is satisfying, but it has nothing to do with us anymore.”

“Come on, help me choose which outfit would suit Xuanbao best.”

Seeing that Yang Mi’s thoughts were entirely focused on Xuanbao, He Baibai gave an exasperated smile.

“Sis Mi, are you still the same Boss Yang as before?”

“Look at you now. What’s that saying again? You have no ambition and no desire to improve!”

“How is that any different from giving up?”

Yang Mi ignored her and merely smiled faintly.

“I haven’t given up. It’s just that there’s nothing I can do for the moment. Worrying won’t solve anything.”

“It’s better to calm down and live well. Besides, taking good care of Xuanbao is a form of progress too.”

He Baibai was rendered speechless by Yang Mi’s reasoning. She shifted closer to her and said, “But the child has his father looking after him.”

“You should be thinking about your career now.”

“Sis Mi, don’t you think this is an opportunity?”

Yang Mi stared intently at the online shopping page.

“What opportunity? Are you talking about going back to Jiaxing?”

He Baibai nodded.

“Exactly. Wu Yufei is facing a ban now. Once she’s gone, won’t your opportunity come?”

“Besides, our Sis Mi is so talented.”

Yang Mi raised an eyebrow.

This question was indeed worth considering.

However, Yang Mi felt that Jiaxing could never accept her again. A major entertainment company would not take back an artist for a second time.

“Forget it. Ever since I left Jiaxing, I’ve already been labeled as someone who was frozen out.”

Yang Mi sighed and said listlessly, “No entertainment company would accept an artist who has been blacklisted by the industry.”

“If one did, it would be breaking the rules, and the company itself would be shunned by everyone in the business.”

He Baibai pursed her lips.

“Fine, then are we going to starve in the future?”

“But it’s not as though things are that desperate. If necessary, we can sell the house and start some other business. When that happens, I’ll be the president, and you can be my boss.”

Seeing He Baibai’s optimism, Yang Mi smiled comfortingly.

“Bzz, bzz…”

At that moment, Yang Mi’s phone began to ring.

When she saw who was calling, her expression changed slightly.

It was Chen Yu, the head of Estée Lauder’s local branch.

“President Chen? Why is he calling?” He Baibai asked in confusion.

Yang Mi shook her head before answering.

“Hello, President Chen.”

Chen Yu’s voice was exceptionally warm over the phone.

“Miss Yang, this is Chen Yu. Are you at home right now?”

Yang Mi and He Baibai both froze.

What did he mean by that?

Yang Mi asked, “I am. What’s the matter, President Chen? Is something wrong?”

Chen Yu sounded somewhat embarrassed.

“Uh… well, there was a misunderstanding before, and I was in the wrong.”

“Our chairman has returned today and says he wants to come personally to apologize.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mi was even more bewildered.

He Baibai, sitting beside her, was equally dumbfounded.

Come personally to apologize? What was going on?

And the chairman himself was coming?

The situation had left Yang Mi completely at a loss.

“Miss Yang? Are you still there?” Chen Yu asked over the phone.

Yang Mi came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes, I’m listening.”

Chen Yu’s tone was extremely respectful.

“Then, Miss Yang, are you alone at home? If it’s inconvenient, we can talk downstairs.”

Yang Mi was completely confused.

“I’m at home with a friend.”

“In that case, please open the door for us,” Chen Yu said.

Yang Mi froze.

They were already there?

That quickly?

After hanging up, He Baibai stared at her in astonishment.

“Sis Mi, what’s going on?”

“The chairman of Estée Lauder is coming to visit?”

Yang Mi was just as bewildered.

“I… have no idea either. I’ll go open the door.”

When she opened it, the first thing she saw was a blond foreigner in a suit.

Chen Yu stood behind him.

Yang Mi paused, then recognized the man at once.

He was none other than William Lauder, chairman of Estée Lauder.

What shocked her even more was that he seemed to be the same man who had appeared in the video from the banquet Xuanbao had attended that night.

“Miss Yang, how do you do? I’m William, Chen Yu’s employer.”

Upon seeing Yang Mi, William was exceedingly respectful. After speaking, he even bent slightly and gave her a bow.

Yang Mi was flattered and hurriedly replied with equal politeness, “Mr. William, it’s a pleasure…”

“Please, come in.”

Once they entered, He Baibai realized that an important guest had arrived and hurriedly made tea.

William and Chen Yu stood in the living room. A moment later, several young men came in carrying packages.

“Miss Yang, these are just a few gifts. They’re nothing special.”

William smiled as he had the men place everything in the living room.

Yang Mi was frightened when she saw the gifts. They were simply too valuable.

There was an entire case of Pola Ray Lecos Natural Bee Royal Lotion, each bottle containing only 150 milliliters and selling for an astonishing price.

And that was only one of the items. There were also deep-sea ginseng products worth hundreds of thousands. One glance was enough to tell that the collection could not have cost less than a million.

Yang Mi stared at William in utter bewilderment. She had no idea what he was trying to do.

“Mr. William… these gifts are far too valuable. Please take them back.”

She felt uneasy and nervous. She would never dare accept gifts of such unknown origin.

Apparently noticing her concern, William quickly explained, “Miss Yang, please don’t worry. I’m only here to apologize to you. These gifts represent my sincerity, so you must accept them. Otherwise, I will…”

William seemed to have forgotten the right words, and after struggling for a moment, continued, “Otherwise, I will be unable to eat or sleep in peace!”

Seeing his earnest expression, Yang Mi was completely stunned.

She truly could not understand why the chairman of Estée Lauder had suddenly become so respectful toward her—or, more than that, why he seemed almost intimidated by her.

This was far too abrupt.

Beside her, He Baibai had long since been dumbstruck. The tea in her hands had overflowed from the cup without her noticing.

Yang Mi drew a deep breath, intending to find out what was really going on.

“Mr. William, I don’t believe there has ever been any conflict between us. Why are you doing all this…?”

William paused, then realized that his actions had indeed made Yang Mi nervous.

He hurriedly explained, “Chen Yu’s breach of contract violated company policy in a serious way!”

“It was unfair and disrespectful to you, which is why I came to apologize personally.”

“I also hope that you will continue working with Estée Lauder as our brand ambassador.”

“I hope you can put the past behind us, Miss Yang.”

After hearing him out, Yang Mi’s mood settled somewhat.

Even so, she still found it difficult to believe this was merely about a broken contract. For a company of this size, such a matter was nothing unusual. Was it really worth going to these lengths?

Obviously not.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yang Mi asked, “So, Mr. William, you came only because of the brand endorsement?”
