"Also, as someone who's been through this, I'd like to give Miss Ye a reminder," Rong Dai said with a smile.
"Since you've already taken what's not yours, you should secretly enjoy it, tuck your tail between your legs, and don't repeatedly provoke others' bottom lines, or you'll only end up losing more than you gain."
"You need to know that when rabbits get anxious they will bite, I'm only tolerating this now because I don't want to get my hands dirty dealing with you."
"I hope that in the future Miss Ye, you'll keep some distance from my sister-in-law, okay?"
Rong Dai spoke softly and gently, but the intimidation emanating from her eyes made Ye Liyun's face turn pale, sending a chill down her spine.
Rong Dai had not originally intended to meddle in this matter, as it was her sister-in-law's personal affair after all.
But she thought of her elder sister in her previous life, who would always stand up for her first whenever she encountered any problems or was bullied, regardless of whether it was her fault to begin with, and only deal with her afterwards.
Her sister-in-law treated her well, the Huo family treated her well, so she should of course repay their peach with a plum.
There was a certain way people should interact with each other.
"I...Mei Shu, I really didn't mean to, the issue with the song was truly an accident that I posted it before realizing, and by the time I noticed it was already too late to take back, so I...could only brazen it out."
Thinking of the news about Rong Dai in Beijing, even someone on the level of Wen Shilan from such a prominent family had been thrown in jail, Ye Liyun couldn't help but feel a chill run through her.
She knew she was no match for the other party. Right now she could only submit.
After all, the other was the wife of a prominent family, the daughter of a prominent family, while she was just an ordinary commoner from a lowly background!
Although extremely unwilling in her heart, Ye Liyun still lied against her conscience.
"It's fine, it's just a song anyway, you can take it if you like it."
Huo Mei Shu was very grateful that her sister-in-law stood up for her like this.
She wasn't stupid either, she understood what her sister-in-law and sister Qiao meant at this time, otherwise she might as well not have lived these twenty four years.
This was a good opportunity for her to draw a clear boundary with this shameless woman!
"Ye Liyun, I used to take you as a close friend, but now that you've made your own choices, I won't stop you, this is your freedom after all."
"But from now on, you are no longer Huo Mei Shu's close friend, nor just a friend, so please stay away from my life."
Huo Mei Shu said coldly.
Ye Liyun's face was ghastly pale as she tightly clutched her handbag, her freshly done nails were even chipped.
"I'm...sorry."
She bowed deeply, then rushed away covering her face, looking extremely aggrieved.
"She's like this again, I'm really at a loss with her. How did I not notice before?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance again, Huo Mei Shu couldn't help but smile wryly.
Some people were just like this, only when things came to light could you see their repulsive true colors.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you could be this sharp with your words on set. You were so gentle towards everyone."
Qiao Wanzhou's tone was mocking, but her eyes showed distinct admiration for Rong Dai.
"Thank you sister-in-law!"
Huo Mei Shu wasn't ungrateful. Her gaze looking at Rong Dai was also full of admiration.
Rong Dai smiled at her lightly: "I've said we're one family, any problems can be solved together."
She would also love those important to Shao Ting.
As the three women were talking, the restaurant suddenly livened up. They looked over simultaneously.
"Shi Ning?"
Rong Dai's eyes were sharp and she immediately spotted Shi Ning enter like the moon surrounded by stars, followed by her assistant.
"Most of the traditional costumes or period costumes Director Feng used were collaborations with Brocade Embroidery Workshop, he has a deep friendship with Grand Master Shi Yue, so he probably came to celebrate."
Qiao Wanzhou was polished by Feng Kun so she knew more inside details, and explained to the two.
Rong Dai also nodded. Although Director Feng had already left the industry, his connections were still resources.
And someone of his age placed more importance on feelings, fame and fortune were already beyond them.
"In recent years Brocade Embroidery Workshop has had a very aggressive growth, grasping the international market with one hand and the domestic market with the other. Now they even have their eyes on the entertainment industry. But the things produced by Brocade Embroidery Workshop are indeed exquisite, there really isn't a domestic company that can compare now."
Huo Mei Shu chimed in.
Rong Dai watched Shi Ning warmly greet these people with a smile. It went without saying Brocade Embroidery Workshop had a famous reputation.
And her sister-in-law's words made her even more confident about the business she wanted to develop.
In this era, no industry could monopolize the market.
The early developers feast on meat, the late developers drink soup.
Brocade Embroidery Workshop's current momentum was indeed fierce.
But she didn't think they could stand at the top forever. If Grand Master Shi Yue was still leading, it might be difficult for domestic companies to surpass them in the short term.
But Shi Yue had nurtured someone of poor character.
Shi Ning, who had plagiarized her work.
Although it was just a small piece, it was enough to show her character.
Shi Ning's vision was too narrow. If Brocade Embroidery Workshop was handed over to her, it would be tantamount to limiting Brocade Embroidery Workshop's development vision.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you open a studio? I want to invest!"
Huo Mei Shu suddenly turned to look at her, eyes shining as she asked.
Rong Dai just smiled without responding. This was inevitable.
She was very clear on her own skills.
She didn't have long term plans to develop in the entertainment industry. Making embroidery her career was what she wanted.
"You can do embroidery too?"
Qiao Wanzhou was a little surprised and looked her up and down.
"Sister Qiao, the hundred year old quilt Grandma Qiao used for her birthday, it was my sister-in-law's handiwork! She studied design!"
Huo Mei Shu explained.
"I see, so that's how it was. I thought my mom had custom ordered it from Brocade Embroidery Workshop."
Qiao Wanzhou realized.
Seeing Qiao Wanzhou's expression, Rong Dai's heart sank.
The feeling of being misunderstood like when Shi Ning had plagiarized her work rose in her heart again, further solidifying her intention of opening a studio.
"I really didn't expect you to have this skill, you're full of surprises!"
Qiao Wanzhou was very surprised.
Embroidery wasn't a simple matter like sewing on buttons. It required specialization. It wasn't something you could truly master just by being able to pass a needle and thread.
What kind of treasure had Huo Shaoting married?
Rong Dai smiled lightly: "Looks like I still have to work hard, or I'll keep being mistaken for Brocade Embroidery Workshop."
She felt dissatisfied by this.
After all it was a field she was familiar with. Although others didn't know the truth, this feeling of being misunderstood didn't feel good.
"If you open a studio, consider letting me invest. Although I can't say I have the resources and connections like my master, there are still some places I can put in a good word."
Qiao Wanzhou flipped her hair confidently as she looked at Rong Dai.
Rong Dai nodded: "I won't forget you."
Of course she believed what Qiao Wanzhou said.
She didn't intend to compete with Brocade Embroidery Workshop, it just happened that she was also in this profession, so future competition would be inevitable.
So she needed to start accumulating her own connections and resources now.
