Chapter 303 - 113: Jin Xia’s Boss Is Jiang Li, the Pride of Domestic Goods

A month later, Jin Xia officially opened for business.

The shop, a full two thousand square meters, was in a prime downtown location. The flower baskets at the entrance were so numerous they practically surrounded the entire store.

Early in the morning, numerous reporters were already camped out, all hoping to snag an exclusive.

Ge Qing. Ge Qing’s apprentice. A top domestic luxury brand.

Put them together, and you had an unbeatable combination.

As they were about to leave, Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but ask when he saw Jiang Li’s outfit, "Didn’t you say last night you were going to wear a mask? Why the change of heart?"

Jiang Li pouted. "I thought about it. Instead of letting them guess who the owner of Jin Xia is, it’s better to just appear before the public openly. That way, no one can impersonate me later."

’Alright, the main reason was actually a novel I was reading recently.’

’The female lead in the book was impersonated and suffered so much scorn and humiliation, it made me want to jump into the story and fight for her.’

’Besides, I’ve built up enough suspense. Everyone is curious who the master’s apprentice is, so I’ll just let them see. Boldly and openly.’

’There might even be an unexpected reward.’

Jiang Li was wearing a custom-made, Chinese-style purple suit that Ge Qing had designed for her.

The top was a silk and chiffon design, embroidered with a phoenix in gold thread. Its eyes were inlaid with diamonds, and it was surrounded by several blooming peonies. The bottom was a solid-colored silk skirt.

To complete the outfit, Jiang Li had even taken out the old-mine imperial green jadeite necklace she’d won from the System. She wore matching stud earrings, and her hair was pinned up with a jade hairpin, giving her an air of magnificent and noble grace.

By the time Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi arrived at Jin Xia, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance, some live-streaming and others conducting interviews.

It wasn’t much of a surprise. After all, Jin Xia had been trending for a whole month. Now that its mysterious veil was finally about to be lifted, it was only natural that it would attract a crowd.

Shen Yanzhi asked playfully, "Ready, Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"

"If you’re ready, then let’s go!" He opened the car door, placed one hand on the roof of the car, and held his other hand out to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook her head with a hint of resigned amusement, but still placed her hand in his, using his support to get out of the car.

The moment Jiang Li stepped out of the car, someone in the crowd immediately shouted enthusiastically, "President Jiang!"

It was no wonder they were so enthusiastic. Jiang Li had been giving out red envelopes on Weibo left and right, and each one was quite valuable.

You’d have to have a screw loose not to be excited to see the God of Wealth in person.

Jiang Li waved. "Good morning, everyone!"

Someone in the crowd asked, "President Jiang, is that outfit you’re wearing designed by Master Ge Qing?"

A month ago, the news that Jiang Li had spent a billion yuan on a private commission from Ge Qing was a trending topic for three days straight. It was hard to miss.

Jiang Li smiled sweetly. "That’s right. I just got it two days ago." She then spun around twice and asked, "What do you think? Does it look good?"

The crowd shouted in unison, "It looks amazing!"

A reporter posed a sharp question: "President Jiang, are you trying to steal Jin Xia’s thunder today?"

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly. "And why would you say I’m stealing the thunder?"

"Well, you’re dressed so extravagantly today."

"If I’m not mistaken, that necklace around your neck is worth at least 1.4 billion."

As soon as he said that, everyone’s eyes involuntarily fell on Jiang Li’s neck.

Good heavens, 1.4 billion? Isn’t that like wearing a whole building’s worth of apartments around your neck?

Jiang Li was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected the reporter to have such a sharp eye; he was about seventy or eighty percent right.

Before Jiang Li could answer, Ge Qing strode out of the store, warmly taking Jiang Li’s hand and patting it gently. "Xiao Li, you’re finally here."

The reporters looked at Ge Qing doubtfully. "Master Ge Qing, you and President Jiang...?"

Ge Qing’s face swelled with pride. "Weren’t you all curious who my apprentice is? It’s her. Jiang Li."

What? Jiang Li is Ge Qing’s apprentice!

In other words, the boss behind Jin Xia is Jiang Li.

’What on earth was I just asking?’

A cold sweat broke out on the reporter’s forehead. He quickly apologized, "President Jiang, my apologies."

Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "It’s nothing."

’After all, he was just doing it for Jin Xia’s sake, not intentionally targeting me.’

Jiang Li’s nonchalant attitude actually made the reporter a bit embarrassed. Seeing Shen Yanzhi standing beside her, he asked, "President Jiang, may I ask you another question?"

"Mm, go ahead."

"What is your relationship with the gentleman next to you?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then she proactively took Shen Yanzhi’s hand, lacing her fingers through his. "As you can see, he’s my husband."

This was the first time their relationship had been acknowledged in public. Fireworks exploded in Shen Yanzhi’s heart.
