Chapter 190 - Trouble in the Midnight (1/2)
The Li Family maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with the Qin Family. The Yicui Jade-store was also a famous store which had a history of a 100 years mainly selling jade of medium and above levels. Thus Li Jewelry had benefited from it to some extent.
Zhoufu Jewelry was valued less than Li Jewelry, but it was always popular, so the Li Family and Zhou Zhenghong had been compet.i.tors. Li Zhiyong obviously wouldn’t attend the opening ceremony of Jade Beauty Jewelry, but he was quite curious about it. Although Li Jewelry wasn’t comparable to Jade Beauty Jewelry in the levels of jade, he decided to
find out more about Jade Beauty Jewelry. Therefore, Li Zhiyong asked Li Zhenyu to have a look in the Jade Beauty Jewelry store tomorrow.
Qin Yifan came to City G for Jade Beauty Jewelry, so he would naturally be going there. And Li Zhenzhen would also attend the opening ceremony because of Qin Yifan.
Although Qin Yifan had refused her and broken her heart, she couldn’t forget him. She still wanted to try. Their relations.h.i.+p was already so bad that to make it worse made no real difference.
After the airing of News At Half Past Six, it caused a sensation in City G. Many people who knew Zhou Zhenghong were greatly shocked by the news that he was the chairman ofJade Beauty Jewelry. Although they had the same thoughts as Li Zhiyong, n.o.body knew the answers.
However, at the same time, those who had had a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Zhenghong before and had alienated him after his bankruptcy now called him continuously to congratulate him in order to restore their connection.
Zhou Zhenghong treated them politely. He didn’t hate them because they had all abandoned him. Business was business after all. Zhou Zhenghong understood why they turned to him now, and he would also make full use of them too. Thus as long as they didn’t hurt him deliberately, he wouldn’t be emotional. He wouldn’t hurt others on purpose either. Zhou Zhenghong always competed with others equally in business. Unless the other part used amoral tricks in the first place, he would never scheme against others.
Gu Ning also had a great meal with Situ Ye. Situ Ye proposed giving Gu Ning a ride back after the meal. Gu Ning declined at first, but Situ Ye insisted, so in the end she agreed to let Situ Ye drive her back to the processing plant.
The opening ceremony would be held tomorrow, but they hadn’t delivered the jewelry to the store yet. They had to finish the delivery tonight and lay the jewelry in their places.
When Gu Ning got back to the processing plant, it was almost 8 pm. They had already packed the jewelry up and were waiting for Gu Ning. A group of them, Gu Ning included, loaded the car with the packed jewelry, driving to the store afterwards.
All the store workers had already cleaned the store while waiting for the jewelry. They started to place the jewelry after Gu Ning and others arrived.
When it was almost 10 pm, Gu Ning received a message from Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting: What are you doing now?
Gu Ning: Placing the jewelry in my store. How about you?
Leng Shaoting: I’m at the airport in the capital leaving for another city to deal with something.
Gu Ning: Take care!
They didn’t finish placing the jewelry until it was past 12 pm. And then they went to the meeting room.
Except for Zhou Zhenghong, Chang Qingshan, w.a.n.g Zhiyong and Zhang Rong, no one else knew that Gu Ning was the real boss, so Gu Ning let Zhou Zhenghong hold the meeting. However, she still attended the meeting as a shareholder. She also told the staff to keep it a secret between them to avoid any trouble.
Everyone thought that Gu Ning didn’t want others to know her ident.i.ty because of her young age, and promised to keep it quiet.
Moreover, all the workers were kind and upright people. They didn’t think that there was an immoral relations.h.i.+p between Zhou Zhenghong and Gu Ning just because she had shares ofJade Beauty Jewelry Company at such a young age.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning heard some noise outside, so she adjourned the meeting. Everyone was confused, looking to Gu Ning. Gu Ning said to a male worker beside her in a low voice, “Go check the surveillance cameras for outside.”
The man immediately realized that something must be wrong, so he ran to the surveillance room and checked the cameras.
