182 Returning to the Country
Wu Min softened his attitude and said to Vivian, “It’s not easy for everyone. We’re out here to make a living. If there’s any disagreement, we can talk it out slowly,”
Wu Min gave Vivian a way out, but she couldn’t back down immediately, or it would be too easy to be taken advantage of. She replied coldly, “I do want to have a good talk, but you guys smashed the cup and closed the door. I really can’t tell what you want to talk about.”
Mao Teng, his right-hand man who had been standing behind Wu Min and watching him smash the glass, took a few steps forward and lowered his head to Wu Min. “I’m sorry, Boss. My hand slipped just now.”
Wu Min smiled at Vivian and said, “You’re overthinking it. It’s just a misunderstanding. Mao Teng, apologize to Miss Vivian.”
Mao Teng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said to Vivian, “Miss Vivian, I’m sorry to have frightened you.”
It didn’t matter who had smashed the cup. What was important was the final statement.
After seeing that the other party had made a clear concession, Vivian was willing to take the steps and walk down the stairs. Her lips curled up slightly and she smiled. “Your subordinate is really reckless.”
Wu Min smiled and didn’t reply. He pointed at the teahouse and continued the previous topic, “Miss Vivian, please.”
Vivian chose the seat closest to the door and sat down.
The people who had been hiding behind the wall took advantage of the chaos and ran away when the two sides stopped fighting. Many people had not paid their bills. The shopkeeper looked at the messy seats and ordered new food for the two with a bitter face. He did not dare to refuse.
The two of them had just begun their real negotiation. The final result of their negotiation was that all the members of the club had to immediately stop promoting the information about fake raw stones in the market.
Wu Min also promised to restrain his subordinates and not use their goods to fool the jewelers who joined the club. However, if the members themselves bought their goods from the stalls or shops in the trading center, then they could not be blamed for it.
Vivian didn’t expect Wu Min to stop attacking their club members. It was a good thing she showed mercy. After all, if she really destroyed their jobs, no matter how she used the excuse of an international dispute, the other party would have more opportunities to play dirty tricks behind their backs.
After the matter was settled, all that was left was to rely on their own abilities.
Vivian went to the club and asked the front desk to organize the text of the negotiation results as one of the first rounds of information to be distributed to the members.
In the following week, the delivery went smoothly. Every day, Vivian would look at the raw stones collected and make a basic price evaluation of the Jade to see which appraisal expert was better.
So far, they had collected 1525 raw stones, 562 medium-and low-quality jade stones, 633 medium-and high-quality jade stones, and the remaining 330 medium-and high-quality jade stones. Vivian’s bank account had lost 12.98 million Yuan.
Fortunately, she had sold two raw stones previously. With the addition of the ten jewelry stores in the country that had already begun renovations, Vivian still had 20.8 million Yuan in her personal account.
On the day Vivian returned to the country, Leon took half a day off to pick her up.
The bruise on the corner of Leon’s mouth had completely disappeared. He used his pocket money to buy a bunch of sunflowers and jogged over when he saw Vivian leaving the airport. “Mom!”
When Vivian saw Leon, she stepped forward with a smile, took the bouquet, and gave him a hug.
“Long time no see, Son.”
After the two of them separated, Vivian was surprised to find that Leon had grown at least 10cm in the past half a month. She patted him on the shoulder and smiled. “It seems that you eat and sleep well at home.”
The mother and son talked and laughed as they got into the car and went home. In order to celebrate Vivian’s return, Frank and Simon go to the supermarket to buy a lot of groceries, and they used that as an excuse to go to the Leon’s house for dinner.
When Vivian and the others returned to the entrance of the community, they saw Frank and Simon sitting in the reception area next to the security room.
“Aunt Vivian!” Frank ran forward like a small cannonball and hugged Vivian through the window.
Simon followed closely behind, and just like his calm and reserved character, he greeted Vivian in a warm voice.
Vivian agreed happily. “You must have waited for a long time. Come on in, my two little friends.”
The two of them got into the car and returned to the villa.
