After hearing that Jiang Yao, as a young, out-of-town lady, was able to obtain Shengqi Hospital’s shares, many assud she was an illegitimate child of the Qi family.
However, after Huang Chengjing’s explanation that the Qi family was the one that gave up their shares, he was sure that the crowd would dismiss their assumptions.
After all, it was impossible for the Qi family to surrender their shares to an illegitimate child. The key was in the word “surrender”—an extrely harsh phrase, used by Huang Chengjing.
They could only assu that Jiang Yao ca from an unknown yet powerful background, even the Qi family had to bow to her wishes.
Seeing the general manager of Hairun Group, Huang Chengjing regarding Jiang Yao with such high reverence only strengthened their belief.
That had an imdiate effect on how the guests conducted themselves in front of Jiang Yao; everyone beca friendly and courteous.
There were a few curious souls who wanted to know Jiang Yao’s true identity. However, with both Huang Chengjing and Jiang Yao keeping a tight lip, there was nothing much the inquisitive individuals could do.
Following Huang Chengjing around the banquet hall, Jiang Yao was introduced to most, if not all, of the guests present at the gala. She morized the nas and the faces of everyone she t. So people could be acquainted with, while the others were best to steer clear of.
“Mr. Huang, thank you so much for tonight.” Jiang Yao formally expressed her gratitude to Huang Chengjing for bringing her into the upper society of Nanjiang City.
“Don’t worry about it, it’s my pleasure. It’s nothing compared to what you did for the Huang family.” Huang Chengjing handed Jiang Yao a full glass of fruit juice. Knowing that she did not drink, he made sure that she was not served any alcohol.
After the small talk, Huang Chengjing was in no hurry to leave and instead stood talking to Jiang Yao.
“Pardon for asking this, Mr. Huang, but I assu the jewelry business to be an extrely lucrative one. You wouldn’t have put all your efforts in if it weren’t the case, right?” Jiang Yao asked casually.
“I’d say it’s a very volatile business.” Huang Chengjing pointed to a lady standing nearby. “Do you see the accessory she is wearing? She was the first custor of Golden Phoenix. Our first sale when we were still preparing to open shop. The raw stone was purchased by an insider from a stone betting fair for the price of one hundred thousand dollars and resold on the spot for four hundred and seventeen thousand dollars. Cheng Jinyan and I bought it from the buyer for eight hundred thousand dollars. After processing it into an exclusive piece of jewelry, we sold it for two million and six hundred thousand dollars. You tell , is it a lucrative industry?”
Seeing Jiang Yao’s jaw drop, Huang Chengjing chuckled. “This happens only when we have a wonderful custor and a piece of exceptional stone. But don’t forget that the most ordinary piece of erald can increase its value by a few tis just by processing it into a piece of jewelry. With such a huge country and a booming population, there is no lack of market and consurs here. What do you think about the profitability of the jewelry business now?”
To say Jiang Yao was stupefied was an understatent.
Imdiately, a thought crossed her mind.
Since it was so profitable, she should get herself involved in the business.
