Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Gambling on Stones

"Sister Shen, those people at Mingfeng Group are just too much! We had already finalized the deal with the seller first, so how could they simply cut in like this!"

In the office, Zhao Jing’s angry and hurried voice broke the silence.

She continued, "Now, how can we participate in the upcoming jewelry exhibition? Without that centerpiece ice-type jadeite, even the high-end strategy you set up before, Sister Shen, will be greatly affected."

Seeing Zhao Jing so frustrated and worried, Shen Yuyan couldn’t help but give a wry smile and sighed softly,

"Little Jing, don’t be like this, the business world is just like that, everyone is merely competing against each other. There isn’t much to complain about."

"Even though the seller’s last-moment change of heart has put us in a passive situation, participating in this jewelry exhibition doesn’t necessarily require items of the ice-type jadeite caliber."

"But Sister Shen, without that ice-type jadeite, your previous plan..."

Zhao Jing was still somewhat reluctant.

She was aware that participating in this jewelry exhibition didn’t necessarily require items like the ice-type jadeite.

But just as she had said before, without such items to serve as the finale, their plan to break into the upper market would be greatly hindered, and there might even be a risk of it failing completely.

"Ah..."

Shen Yuyan sighed again, knowing all too well about Zhao Jing’s concerns.

However, as the president, her attitude and way of handling such matters weren’t as emotional as others might be.

Then, she carefully thought about it and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Little Jing, if our plan by that time truly isn’t feasible, then we can only consider pushing it back for now."

"What? Postpone the plan!"

Hearing Shen Yuyan’s words, Zhao Jing was instantly shocked.

She was very aware of how much effort and hardship Shen Yuyan had put into their company’s plan prior to this.

But now, just because of Mingfeng Group’s interference and the seller’s breach of agreement, Shen Yuyan had decided to firmly give up on all the hard work and sweat she had invested during this time. How could Zhao Jing not be shocked?

"Yes, Little Jing, I’ve already considered it—if it really isn’t feasible by then, our perseverance would only bring even greater losses to our company, a risk we currently cannot afford."

"Alright, I’ve made my decision on this matter; there’s no need to persuade me further. I’ll explain it to everyone at the board meeting later."

"But Sister Shen..."

Zhao Jing seemed like she wanted to say more, but couldn’t find the words when they reached her lips.

Eventually, after a brief silence filled the office air, Zhao Jing’s eyes brightened up, and she excitedly suggested to Shen Yuyan:

"Sister Shen, I just heard that the antique market on Red Road might have gotten a new batch of raw jadeite materials; perhaps we could try our luck there?"

As soon as Zhao Jing finished speaking, Shen Yuyan couldn’t help but tap her on the head, somewhat annoyed yet amused,

"I say, Little Jing, you’re supposed to be my assistant and bodyguard, how can you even suggest such unreliable ideas? Try our luck? Why not suggest I just wait there and see if anyone cuts open good raw jadeite materials, then buy them?"

"Right, that seems like a good idea too. Sister Shen, how about I accompany you to check it out?"

Covering her head, Zhao Jing stuck out her tongue at Shen Yuyan and cheekily smiled.

Although she said that, she didn’t really intend to do it.

She was well aware that she had acted rashly just now, which is why she had proposed such an unreliable solution.

However, before the two women could recover from their previous conversation, Zhu Fei’s abrupt voice suddenly rang out.

"I think Zhao Jing’s suggestion was good, Sister Shen, why don’t we go check out Red Road now?"

As he finished speaking, the door to Shen Yuyan’s office also opened.

Zhu Fei’s smiling figure then abruptly appeared in Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing’s line of sight.

"Zhu Fei? When did you come here?"

Surprised by Zhu Fei’s sudden appearance, both Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing were slightly taken aback.

However, after the initial surprise, a hint of pleasure flickered in Shen Yuyan’s eyes, but she still looked somewhat annoyed at Zhu Fei and said,

"Be honest, were you already at my office door just now? And did you eavesdrop on my conversation with Little Jing?"

"This...? Hehe... It’s alright, I guess."

Zhu Fei touched his nose, his face showing a slight bitter smile.

Shen Yuyan was indeed right, he had indeed arrived outside her office earlier.

However, when he inadvertently heard Zhao Jing’s complaint, he decided not to come in right away but instead listened carefully to their conversation.

Zhu Fei knew that given Shen Yuyan’s personality, if he asked her what was bothering her, she might not tell him the truth.

Thus, he felt he had no choice but to do so.

Seeing Zhu Fei’s current reaction, Shen Yuyan immediately knew her guess was correct and realized that Zhu Fei was genuinely concerned about her, which sweetened her heart slightly.

However, on the surface, she still showed a mocking smile and couldn’t help teasing,

"If I remember correctly, didn’t someone once say that he wouldn’t care or pay attention to any company matters? Or am I mistaken?"

"Cough cough... well, Sister Shen, we shouldn’t be playing like this."

Zhu Fei was somewhat speechless, feeling helpless about Shen Yuyan’s insincerity.

However, he continued, "Sister Shen, let’s not talk about those useless things, shall we? Let’s discuss the proposal I just made. What do you think?"

"What? You really decided to take us to gamble on stones?"

Seeing Zhu Fei bring the topic back to this, Shen Yuyan’s elegant brows slightly furrowed, expressing some skepticism.

Because of her father’s past, Shen Yuyan had an instinctive aversion to anything related to gambling, and this time was no exception.

However, she hadn’t outright objected simply because Zhu Fei was the one who made the suggestion.

"Yes, of course."

Zhu Fei nodded and then said with a slight smile, "Sister Shen, I think you are aware of my abilities. I can’t promise a guarantee, but if there are indeed good pieces among those raw materials, I can definitely help you pick them out."
