Chapter 71 - He Is A Keeper (1/2)
Xu Mey's past made her a selfish person. She never thought of herself to be selfless. Other than a few people in her life, nobody gave her a reason to be selfless. Mother Ye was like her in this aspect. Mother Ye was selfish when it came to her family. But unlike Xu Mey, Mother Ye made her selfishness to turn into a storm inside of her. And now that exact storm was destroying her own inner peace.
With a filial, obedient, and most importantly, astute son like Ye Jie, one could hardly not want to be selfish. But it doesn't explain the fact that why doesn't she want to see her own son happy?
Xu Mey shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts. 'It's all Sensei's fault!' She groaned and looked at the long forgotten laptop in her lap. There were plenty of emails waiting to be read but a particular one caught her attention.
It was from the CEO of Glow Gemstones- It was gemstones dealing company with mines in different countries. The company was not old but it had a very strong footing in the business world. Xu Mey's Vintage Gems started their collaboration about a year ago. Although Xu Mey stopped involving herself with the gem collection department she knew about Glow Gemstones.
The title of the mail was: 'Jade Stones deal plan for CoCo Jewels'
She squinted her eyes and clicked on the email. It read:
'President Xu,
I've heard about how Jade Stones snatched the CoCo Jewels deal from Vintage. And I know the way, they did it. I've attached their collaboration plan. You should take a look and devise a suitable counterattack. I believe in President Xu's capabilities. The only thing I ask of you is to make sure that Jade Stones loses its credibility. If you need me for anything, please feel free to contact.
Jacob, CEO of Glow Gemstones.'
"Interesting... Very Interesting..." Xu Mey commented with a beguiled smile gracing her beautiful cherry lips.
Having friends in the business world was quite hard but having enemies was too easy. Like sometimes, your mere existence makes you the subject of dislike. We might find friends after looking through the whole city but we'll find at least one enemy at every other corner.
For Xu Mey, it was not surprising that someone wanted to help her in crushing the Jade Stones but she was more curious about what did Fu Lan or Xu Liqing did to offend Glow Gemstones. In just 5 years, this company controlled most of the gemstone market in the entire country. Offending them was like suicide for a jewellery designing company like Jade Stones.
Because every jewellery needs precious gems or stones and Glow Gemstones already held control over that. In the future, if Jade Stones wanted gems, they'll have to look for overseas companies. And that will need extra resources and money. Suddenly Jade Stones seemed very pitiful to Xu Mey and she couldn't help but click her tongue at their future miserable state.
But Xu Mey didn't need Glow Gemstones help in making Jade Stones miserable at all. She had done her homework very well. But to reject someone's kindness was not a good gesture. So she wrote a reply to that email.
'Mr. Jacob,
I've received your email which is rather interesting. Although I'm delighted to know that you're trying to help Vintage. But I don't need their collaboration plan to destroy them. First, I don't like underhanded deals and second, because Jade Stones destruction is my responsibility. I can only assure you that by the end of the next week, Jade Stones shares will be in the ditch.
I'll make sure of that.
President Xu of Vintage Gems'
She sent the email and shut the laptop. Ye Jie came back to the room and saw her putting the laptop on the side table. "Didn't I tell you to rest?"
