Zhang Renshu was taken aback by the revelation.
His daughter started a brand for herself?
He just couldn't place his hand around this fact. The child he almost had no hopes for to attain greatness, this daughter of his he thought was too lazy to work for herself started a makeup company for herself?
He couldn't believe it and had to ask a few more questions just to confirm the fact for himself.
Still in disbelief that she could come up with that kind of idea, he threw all kinds of questions at her.
"Who gave you this idea in the first place?"
"Where did you get the first capital?"
"Did you go through a manufacturer?"
"Did you rebrand someone's product and just make your own label?"
"Did someone help you to achieve all of this?"
Although Zhang Liling was offended y a few of the question which pointed to her being a scammer, she did well not so show her emotions.

Nodding toward the box, she started to explain herself, which was something she wouldn't do if it were before.
The more Zhang Renshu listened, the more proud he felt, but the man was too stubborn to show it on his face.
Right in the centre of his mind, he was thinking about his other children.
None, had ever tried to start something for themselves instead, they ran into Zhang Corp to take shied as their mother plotted something huge behind his back.
On this note, Zhang Renshu made a mental note as a huge idea came to his head.
For the time being, he would watch Zhang Liling grow and manage her brand, then he would tell if she would be able to handle the weight of Zhang Corp.
Without letting his thoughts show on his face, he listened on, until it was time for him to say something.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" He had just asked when he changed his mind. Waving the question away, he started again.
"I am very unhappy that you chose to start your own brand instead of coming to work in Zhang Corp where you have so much more prospect. Let me tell you that managing a company is not easy."
Whether he was truly looking out for her or not, Zhang Liling was not sure about it, but she sti gave her own opinion.
Leaning into his desk, she said as she brought her palms together. "Glint will surely have prospect when I already invited the likes of you to the launch tomorrow."
Understanding what she meant, he immediately fired back.
"Even if you successfully bring in more investors, it's nit enough for your business to stand. There is still a lot of groundwork to do if you want a star to your name in the market."
"Don't worry about me, I am smart enough," Zhang Liling winked at him before gradually letting her back relax on the chair.
She seems very comfortable and confidence to be able to smile at him.
Seeing how focused she was plus the confidence that was exuding from her, Zhang Renshu dropped the topic, now focusing on the products inside the box she brought with her invitation.
"Your invitation is well appreciated, but what would I be doing with all of this?"
As they were last the main topic, Zhang Liling took this question as a cue to start leaving. Rising to her feet, she placed the handle of her bag on her shoulder while replying him.
"Surely, I didn't bring them for you, and I definitely did not bring it for the wife you have at home."
Seeing as he didn't even think or remember that he had a wife at home he could have given the makeup products to, she knew that things were very bad between him and Shi Wenqian.
And for this reason, she was very happy but only smiled inwardly.
In this very case, she was not going openly show her animosity toward Shi Wenqian even though she was not in good terms with her father.
She was just going to turn a blind eye to the whole situation just to stop Zhang Renshu from reading too much meaning into things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho knows how he would turn against her if she showed that side of her.
Zhang Renshu feigned ignorance to her words as he stared at her with creased brows.
'How much does she know?' That was the only thought going through his mind.
If she gave him the makeup products despite knowing he was a man, and also not because of her stepmother so he could give it to her, what was her intentions?
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before receiving his answers.
'I see you want to play ignorant, but I don't have the time for it.' Zhang Liling thought as the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
"I know you have another woman outside, you can give it to her." She revealed straightforwardly.
While staring into his eyes to watch the fleeting emotions in them, she hinted, "Women appreciate gifts like this, especially ones that make them feel beautiful and cared for."
In essence, she was teaching him how take care of the other woman he had outside by telling him gifts that women loved to receive.
"What?"
Zhang Renshu who was normally calculative, seemed unable to understand the meaning of her words or maybe because he was too surprised to handle her care-free attitude to him cheating.
Gesturing with her hand, Zhang Liling stated, "Shi Wenqian deserves to be cheated on." After all, she cheated with you on my mother.
Zhang Liling did no longer care about what her father would think because of the I'll intentions she had for her stepmother which she just displayed right in front of him.
She could as well use this opportunity to show him that she didn't like her instead of pretending throughout and making him suspicious.
But at least, she was not going to show her the entire evil intentions she had for her.
