Yu Yang landed in South City at 7:30 p.m. He brought two pieces of news with him. “Young Master Shen, I heard that you have become a popular man in a romantic relationship. Congratulations! Also, do you still remember the Zhang family you destroyed? His youngest daughter, Zhang Jiajia, is looking for you in Yan City!”

Shen Jingmo was confused. What love interest? Who was Zhang Jiajia?

Yu Yang couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his clueless face. “Did you turn off your phone again?”

At that moment, the two of them were about to look for a rough stone seller. Only Yu Yang’s chattering voice could be heard in the black business car.

Shen Jingmo finally remembered the phone he had left in the car for almost half a month without activating it.

The car stopped steadily at the entrance of their destination. The purpose of their visit tonight was to examine the raw stones.

Shen Jingmo turned on his phone as he pushed the door open and got out of the car. Although the contract had been finalized, he and the few men in black behind him all had wooden bins on their waists in case of any accidents.

The two largest raw stone suppliers in South City were Third Master Li from the west of the city and Second Master Chen from the north of the city. On the surface, they both ran several large-scale jewelry chains, but their main source of income was underground. Almost no one in South City dared to provoke them. The status of these two had been earned through real forces from the border.

The raw stone order that the Shen family had lost was worth at least tens of millions, and the person who had bought it was Third Master Li. At that time, Shen Jingmo was still floating on the sea in Las Vegas. He had no time to deal with this matter. This time, he came here and happened to bump into the two major jewelers in the west and north of the city fighting for business.

The first thing Shen Jingmo did when he received the news was to find Second Old Master Chen. The two of them joined forces, and Third Old Master Li, who had no idea what was going on, was caught unprepared.

Shen Jingmo did not help Second Old Master Chen without any consideration. They had already agreed that Second Old Master Chen would help him get back the raw stone order.

Now that the matter was settled, Second Old Master Chen specially held a banquet at his house tonight and invited Shen Jingmo to his house in order to show his sincerity. He also ordered his men to find the peach-colored tourmaline that Shen Jingmo had his eyes on from the batch of raw stones. He had been in the jewelry business for many years. After finding the tourmaline, he immediately asked someone to send it to be processed.

Second Old Master Chen was extremely famous in South City. Since he dared to invite Shen Jingmo to a banquet, he would not do something behind his back to tarnish his reputation.

Tonight’s banquet was most likely just to win over the Shen family of Yan City, so Shen Jingmo brought his mobile phone with him. He was prepared to deal with the things that had happened in Yan City over the past half month.

Second Old Master Chen had been in the South City for many years. In addition to his own ability, he also relied on his righteousness and generosity. At that time, Shen Jingmo had acted in time to help him reverse the situation. His long-time rival had suffered a lot this time, so he was in a good mood and invited many of his connections to introduce him to Shen Jingmo.

As they toasted each other, Shen Jingmo gave Yu Yang a look. Yu Yang nodded tacitly and accepted the toast from the big shots on his behalf.

Shen Jingmo left the room quietly and finally had some time to deal with the messages on his phone. As he had expected, Madam Wu always had the most messages. Shen Jingmo glanced at her briefly and realized that the person he had been thinking about all this time had not sent him a single message. He couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Soon, Shen Jingmo’s eyebrows raised slightly. This was the best news he had heard in half a month. Looking at the time, it was less than ten days before the live broadcast. It was a little rushed to return after dealing with the matters in the South City, but it should not take too much time…

Shen Jingmo exited WeChat and saw that there were dozens of missed calls. Other than Li Da and Madam Wu, the most recent call was… Was it Mu Qingyu? She had taken the initiative to call him… Was she going to talk about their participation in the show?

Shen Jingmo’s heart, which had been calm for a long time, was surging. It had already been more than a month, and the awkwardness between the two of them that night had long been eroded by their longing. He wanted to call Mu Qingyu immediately. But on second thought, it was almost 12 o’clock. She should be asleep by now, right?
