Chapter 659: Chapter 425 Auntie’s Gift_2
Being an international group related to materials, those top-tier rare materials and some of the latest technologies simply aren’t available on the market.
The second car given to Feng Yi was resistant to poison, bullets, and explosions, and in terms of defense performance, it was on the same level as her own vehicle.
This car was indeed the most thoughtful, and the most expensive of the three gifts she had prepared.
Seeing Feng Yi somewhat at a loss, Sister Lan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don’t feel pressured. Just accept the car that your cousin has given you."
After the gift was presented, Sister Lan inquired about the blue diamond.
The aunt and nephew had already discussed taking a sample from the diamond, and now Sister Lan was a bit worried—would it be easy to retrieve such a large diamond once loaned out?
"I’ll call the old chairman later and get the diamond back today; I happen to have time," Feng Yi said.
The blue diamond had been delivered to the old chairman by Jia on Feng Yi’s request, and now that he had completed his work report, it was time to retrieve it.
It had been agreed upon, how it was delivered would be how it would be retrieved.
On hearing this, Sister Lan suggested, "I’ll accompany you."
Feng Yi understood that Sister Lan was worried he might be pressured by seniority or encounter other obstacles in the process of retrieving the diamond.
Having an elder like her would indeed save a lot of trouble.
Once decided, Feng Yi didn’t delay and called the old chairman using his mobile phone, indicating he would come over for the diamond now.
Of course, the old chairman agreed.
Before leaving, Feng Yi was about to ask Jia to drive when Sister Lan said, "Let’s use my car. The one I gave you is almost the same as this one, so you can get a feel for it first."
Sister Lan’s vehicle certainly looked imposing and very stable at first glance, giving off a reliable vibe.
The size of the car was similar to the one Feng Yi usually used for outings, but the design was clearly different.
The car Feng Yi usually used had been modified by the butler.
The modifications made by the butler were more about Feng Yi’s practicality and comfort.
Whereas Sister Lan’s vehicle was modified based on the physical qualities and needs of an average person, with a stronger emphasis on safety performance.
This was understandable, after all, the butler knew more secrets.
Regardless, it was truly a considerate gesture from Sister Lan, and she had certainly put enough effort into the materials used.
The old chairman also lived in Yang City, in a location far from the urban area, as the elderly man preferred tranquility and more space.
At a certain manor-like estate, the old chairman had visitors at his house.
Or rather, since Feng Yi had lent the diamond to the old chairman, the visitors to his place had never ceased.
Following the conclusion of the high-end jewelry exhibition, not all of the elite clientele had left; many had visited several times as part of various groups and had made all kinds of requests. It was only because the old chairman had sufficient qualifications and connections that he could withstand the pressure, keeping this blue raw diamond, which attracted countless eyes, safe and sound here.
But with the pressure gradually mounting, even the old chairman was beginning to feel the strain.
Receiving Feng Yi’s call, the old chairman’s feelings were complicated. He felt a bit reluctant to let go, but simultaneously, there was a sense of relief.
Finally, he had to return this rare treasure!
Though he still felt reluctant, after all, it belonged to someone else, and returning it meant he would no longer have to endure the mounting pressures from all directions each day!
After speaking with Feng Yi, the old chairman also informed today’s visitors that the owner of the raw diamond was on his way to take it back.
The guests, upon hearing this news, were mostly excited and expectant.
Oh? So Feng Yi has finally finished his work report?
Does this mean they can have another serious talk with the young man about the diamond?
The guests started to prepare, and some couldn’t wait, moving to a spot at the front with a good view of the mountain road.
"I wonder how many people he sent today," one of the guests said.
When the time was about right, they saw five vehicles coming up the mountain road.
The first two and the last two were presumably for protection, while Feng Yi was probably in the middle vehicle, right?
"Eh? Has Feng Yi changed his vehicle?" the person who made this remark clearly had collected quite a bit of information.
"That’s normal, isn’t it? With his current status, he’s definitely got more than one vehicle."
"No, I mean the style, it doesn’t seem like him."
"Who cares about that, as long as he’s here. Five cars, that’s a pretty standard entourage."
As the conversation went on, the vehicles one by one drove into the parking lot, where the old chairman had already sent people to wait.
Soon, Feng Yi and his party entered.
Feng Yi and Sister Lan came in together, followed by about ten "security affairs assistants."
The old chairman and the guests noticed the badges pinned on the chests of those security assistants.
They looked somewhat familiar, but they could confirm that they were not the emblem of the Ancestral Factory!
When someone recognized the person accompanying Feng Yi...
"Sister Lan?! Sister Lan, what are you doing here?"
A guest who had been sitting steadily just a moment ago sprang up and hurried over.
The other guests quickly became aware of her identity as the paternal aunt.
Even if they hadn’t met her, they had heard about her and knew what kind of person she was.
"Sister Lan!"
"President Feng!"
"Haha, both surnamed Feng, it never occurred to me that you and Feng Yi would be related in such a way!" someone said, laughing.
It was not that it had never occurred to them, but even if they stumbled upon the information, they would not believe that she had a close relationship with Feng Yi.
Now it seems that the information they found was inaccurate.
"Sister Lan, are you also interested in this diamond?" someone couldn’t help asking.
Paternal aunt just smiled faintly, "Of course."
But she didn’t say much more.
Feng Yi exchanged pleasantries with the old chairman and the guests for a few moments before getting down to business. He was here to get the diamond, not to chat.
Once they got the diamond back, paternal aunt even had someone verify its authenticity.
Feng Yi wasn’t so worried; he knew whether it was real or not at a glance, no other verification methods were necessary.
The old chairman wanted to invite Feng Yi and paternal aunt for a meal together, but they refused.
"We have other matters to attend to shortly, we’re in a rush," said paternal aunt.
With paternal aunt present, Feng Yi didn’t need to be the spokesperson, he just needed to stand by quietly and play nice.
After paternal aunt had politely yet forcefully declined the hosts and guests’ attempts to make them stay, she left with Feng Yi.
Someone let out a heavy sigh, their smile tinged with bitterness, "Unexpected... I didn’t see it coming!"
"She’s also interested, huh? Will Feng Yi’s blue diamond end up in her hands?"
"Very likely! Otherwise, why would she be so active in getting the diamond back?!"
The old chairman and the guests each had their own thoughts while on the other side, after Feng Yi got back the blue diamond, he first let the people brought by paternal aunt take a sample.
A second sampling verification was required, and if it confirmed the presence of the substance needed by paternal aunt’s party on the diamond, they would discuss further cooperation with Feng Yi.
Therefore, after the second sampling, the diamond remained in Feng Yi’s possession. However, publicly the statements were vague, leading others to believe Feng Yi had given the blue diamond to paternal aunt.
This was also paternal aunt’s way of protecting Feng Yi.
He didn’t refuse this kind gesture.
After the second sampling was complete, paternal aunt left with her people.
Feng Yi kept the blue diamond at home, and the second round of verification by paternal aunt’s team would last two to three days. During this time, Feng Yi planned to study the diamond further.
By evening.
The two cars given to Feng Yi by paternal aunt had arrived.
The security vehicle was about what Feng Yi had expected; its appearance differed slightly from paternal aunt’s, with a bit more liveliness and less maturity.
The sports car also indeed had a strong sense of technology and was very fashionable and cool.
Generally speaking, suitable for showing off.
However, what surprised Feng Yi the most was the color. It wasn’t the more common silver, red, yellow, or black, but a very unique aqua green. It didn’t look tacky or ostentatious, perhaps related to its own texture. Considerable effort must have gone into the color tuning.
Feng Yi thought it was alright, but the butler by his side was quite disapproving.
Paternal aunt had called the butler when customizing the car to ask about Feng Yi’s preferred colors.
The butler hadn’t specified which color Feng Yi liked but had sent a sample color, stating that even if Feng Yi didn’t particularly like it, he definitely wouldn’t dislike it.
The color sent by the butler was close to the color of Feng Yi’s tail.
But now, looking at the sports car in front of him...
They had already sent the color over! How could they still get it wrong?! The feeling is completely different if the color is just a bit off!
Don’t they understand the saying "A miss is as good as a mile"?!
Why isn’t there higher precision?!
Indeed, I’ll have to handle it myself!
