77: After the 0075 incident

Huo Qian’s father exuded a scholarly elegance and lacked the mercenary air commonly associated with businessmen.

As Ye Qiu observed Mr.

Huo, the elder Huo was likewise appraising him.

He wanted to see why his son, Huo Qian, spoke of this Ye Qiu with such respect in his voice.

Knowing his son’s temperament better than anyone else, he was aware that Huo Qian was not one to make friends easily, and it was hard for an ordinary person to catch his eye.

However, this time, Huo Qian had taken the initiative to introduce this new friend to him, which was more than enough to demonstrate that Ye Qiu was no ordinary person.

Of course, the main reason he came out to meet Ye Qiu was due to that piece of fine jade.

Huo Qian had a passion for stone gambling, and his father had been aware of this hobby for more than a day or two.

He never discouraged his son from pursuing this interest but did caution him not to become obsessed with it.

Small stakes create a pleasant diversion, but high stakes could lead to harm—that was a principle he had reiterated to Huo Qian more than once.

However, what he had never anticipated was that, after Huo Qian’s recent outing, he came back and told him that he had uncovered a piece of jade worth hundreds of millions.

Even Mr.

Huo, a man of substantial wealth, was intrigued, prompting him to step out of his study and into the hall.

After his gaze lingered on Ye Qiu for a moment, Mr.

Huo nodded and said, “Indeed, a person of impressive appearance.”

“You flatter me,” Ye Qiu replied modestly, bowing slightly.

Respect was due, after all, considering it was Huo Qian’s father.

Mr.

Huo’s gaze drifted away from Ye Qiu and quickly shifted to the raw jade stone.

He looked at the stone, where green and purple hues intermingled without fully merging, creating a stunning mix of colors that resembled a storm of green and purple raging inside the jade, with ripples swirling around, exceedingly beautiful.

After carefully admiring the piece for a while, Mr.

Huo sighed in appreciation.

As a person from high society, he had seen his fair share of diamonds and jades, but a unique piece like the one he saw today was a first for him.

By his estimate, the value of this jade was beyond measure.

“Brother Ye, what do you plan to do with this piece of jade?” Huo Qian asked.

“What do you think would be the best course of action, Brother Huo?” Ye Qiu replied.

“Are you thinking of keeping it as a collectible, or do you wish to auction it off for a hefty sum?” Huo Qian inquired.

Ye Qiu shook his head, disinterested in collecting jade, and said, “Whatever you prefer, Brother Huo, I’ll leave the handling to you.”

“Alright, then I’ll make a decision on your behalf.

I’ll have someone refine this raw stone later on and then send it to the auction.

After the auction ends, I’ll send the money to you,” Huo Qian offered.

Ye Qiu wasn’t too concerned; his foray into stone gambling was just a whim.

If he really wanted to make money using his x-ray vision, not a single stone could escape his scrutiny.

“If you like it, Brother Huo, you could also keep it for your collection.

I’m not interested in whether it sells for money.

After all, we bought this stone together, and you should rightfully have half the ownership,” Ye Qiu suggested.

“That’s out of the question, Brother Ye.

If it weren’t for you, I would never have been able to acquire this stone.

Even if it is auctioned off, I can’t take a penny of that money; it’s all rightfully yours,” Huo Qian hastily declined.

As both men expressed their disinterest in the potential funds from the auctioned jade stone, Mr.

Huo couldn’t stand it any longer, stating they would discuss it after the successful auction, and he invited Ye Qiu to stay for dinner.

After dinner that evening, Ye Qiu left the Huo residence.

He thanked the Huos for their hospitable treatment before returning to the Goddess Villa.

As Ye Qiu disappeared from view, Mr.

Huo remarked coolly, “Throughout, this young man was composed and serene.

Even when discussing this valuable piece of jade, there was not a hint of greed.

The friend Qian’er has made is truly extraordinary.”

Hearing his father’s high praise for Ye Qiu, Huo Qian hung his head slightly.

Compared to Ye Qiu, he felt somewhat inferior, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly where he fell short.

“Still can’t figure out where you fall short?” Mr.

Huo asked, gazing at Huo Qian’s demeanor.

Huo Qian nodded.

“You lack the realm because his inner world is much vaster than yours…” Mr.

Huo uttered a remark that seemed hard to grasp, leaving Huo Qian with a perplexed expression, failing to comprehend the true meaning of those words.

After returning to the Goddess Villa, Ye Qiu saw the three ladies sitting quietly in the living room watching TV.

Having vanished for an entire day, when the ladies saw him appear, they all looked up and asked, “Ye Qiu, where have you been?”

“Just went out for a stroll somewhere else,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He made up an excuse, which, of course, was also true—to look for stones in Suzhou was indeed a stroll.

Suddenly, Shen Mengchen sprung up from the sofa, approached Ye Qiu, and started to sniff around him, poking her head inquisitively.

“What are you smelling?” asked Ye Qiu.

Shen Mengchen glanced at Ye Qiu’s collar, chest, and so on, her furrowed brow slowly easing as she said, “There’s not a single hair or scent of perfume on you, which means you probably haven’t been with a woman today.”

Ye Qiu was left somewhat speechless by Shen Mengchen’s actions; he hadn’t gone on a date with any other women, so of course, he wouldn’t have any traces she mentioned.

Wait, that’s not right; even if he had been on a date with another woman, what business was it of this girl’s?

Shen Mengchen suddenly lost interest in Ye Qiu and settled back down on the sofa.

He took out his mobile phone, which he had never really played with since getting a new one.

Ye Qiu casually opened a webpage and immediately noticed several news articles.

Hmm?

Ye Qiu quickly spotted a major headline concerning the current state of the business market.

The news described how, after Ge Yusheng’s death, the various projects of Rongda had suddenly been suspended.

Several major corporations seized the opportunity to strike, especially at this critical juncture when two other Rongda directors couldn’t immediately return, resulting in ongoing issues that hadn’t been resolved.

Among them, Ye Qiu saw the involvement of a familiar enterprise—Huo’s family had also taken a slice of the cake.

Thinking of Mr.

Huo he had seen today, Ye Qiu hadn’t expected that the Huo family would become the biggest beneficiary in this division of the cake, the man exuding an air of elegance. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

After browsing through a few news stories, Ye Qiu was surprised to find no mention of Longjia Group.

Could it be that Shen Tianlong had been biding his time, untempted by such an attractive opportunity?

Ye Qiu felt a slight shock.

To think that Shen Tianlong, a man who had held sway in the business world for most of his life, had held back from making a move.

Such self-restraint was extraordinary.

At this time, the most troubled had to be Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao, who were abroad.

The sudden death of Ge Yusheng had thrown Rongda into chaos.

Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao wanted to stabilize the company, but being away meant they couldn’t take control of Rongda.

They were rushing back, hoping the losses would not be too severe.

Upon their return, they found Rongda in complete disarray—the employees who wanted to leave had left; the place was a complete mess, as if it had been ransacked.

“Where is everyone?” Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao looked around, seeing no staff in sight.

Presently, they saw a few security guards who hadn’t left.

Upon seeing the two directors suddenly arriving, the five guards immediately stepped forward to explain the situation.

It took a while, but they finally understood why the company was so empty and the employees were gone—someone had spread rumors within Rongda, claiming it was about to collapse, and that if they didn’t take what they could and leave now, they’d end up with nothing, not even their salaries.

This was the cause of the scene they witnessed today.

“Damn it, it must have been that old fox Shen Tianlong’s doing.

My brother’s death must also be connected to him.

Shen Tianlong, this means war,” Wang Chenghu swore.

“We will slowly seek revenge for this.

I will also find the murderer who killed my brother.

Seeing Rongda brought to this state, we have no other choice but to fight back,” Ruan Guotao said with a gloomy face, his inner rage reaching a boiling point, ready to explode at any moment.
