Chapter 563: Not Easy to Gain Connections
“Collaborate with me then. It would be the best way,” Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling.
It was a very sincere and objective suggestion.
However, Jian Yiling shook her head. She refused his suggestion. She wanted to rely on herself.
The reason for this was because she did not want to owe Zhai Yunsheng anymore. Furthermore, this was not in line with her original intentions.
“But this is the best option. You need to be a qualified businesswoman. You need to learn how to maximize your benefits.”
Zhai Yunsheng attempted to direct Jian Yiling’s mindset.
However, Jian Yiling replied: “Well, you’re not a qualified businessman then. If I maximize my benefits, your benefits will not be maximized.”
Zhai Yunsheng’s suggestion was slammed down by Jian Yiling.
When it came to logic, Jian Yiling’s mind was always very nimble.

After Wen Ruo lost the talent contest, she shut herself in her room for two days. After dinner, she immediately returned to her room. Cai Qinyue attempted to convince and persuade her daughter. However, she failed to make her daughter become happier.
As Cai Qinyue stood at her daughter’s closed door, she couldn’t help but mutter: “Ahh, this is all Jian Yiling’s fault. Why did she have to steal the limelight?”
However, Cai Qinyue was not only annoyed that Jian Yiling stole her daughter’s first place. She was also annoyed to discover that Jian Yiling was actually studying at Beijing University. She realized this when the results were announced by the judges.
So Wen Nuan was telling the truth?
This made Cai Qinyue’s heart feel incredibly uncomfortable.
In the past, her daughter had been much better than Jian Yiling.
However, now, the reality seemed to tell her that Jian Yiling got into a better university than her daughter. Cai Qinyue found this hard to believe.
And thus, it was not surprising that her daughter was upset. Cai Qinyue was rather upset as well.
As Cai Qinyue stood at the door, her husband Wen Cheng returned.
Wen Cheng noticed that something was wrong with his daughter in the past few days. For two days in a row, she refused to leave her room when he returned home.
Wen Cheng asked his wife: “What’s up with our daughter? Is she upset about something?”
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue quickly answered: “It’s nothing. She’s just encountered some trouble in her studies. She will be fine in a few days.”
Cai Qinyue did not dare to tell her husband about the matter. Her husband might be still biased towards his younger sister’s daughter.
“By the way, how are things going with the company?” Cai Qinyue asked with concern.
Wen Cheng shook his head sadly. Things had not been going very well. They were hoping to expand the business of the Wen family. However, they were not making a lot of progress.
Wen Cheng gradually understood that it was impossible to rely on yourself to expand a business in Beijing. This was especially the case when it came to antiques.
Then, Cai Qinyue asked: “Someone suggested for us to talk to the Qin family’s relatives. Have you tried that?”
If their family could gain connections with the Qin or Zhai family, their business might be able to process further.
“How is that easy? Even if they’re relatives of the Qin family, they’re still considered members of the Qin family. It’s not easy to meet them,” Wen Cheng responded as he shook his head.
It was difficult to even meet the relatives of the Qin family. Let alone for the three masters of the Zhai family.
The Qin family was rather large. They had many relatives in Beijing. On the other hand, the Zhai family structure was very simple. Three men supported the ma.s.sive business.
Due to Master Liang’s incident, Cai Qinyue did not mention Jian Yiling again. She knew that Qin Chuan tutored Jian Yiling for quite some time.
However, Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling would pretend to be aloof of any material pursuits again. It was unlikely for them to agree to help.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan was only the tutor of Jian Yiling. He was already being very kind to pay a visit to Grandma Jian. However, this did not mean that he was well acquainted with the Jian family.
