The courtyard.
Inside the Gu Family Residence.
Yu Ling’s childhood best friend, who was in the sa Literary and Art Troupe and now in the sa square dance team, specially ca to visit.
She brought quite a few gifts.
Among them was a fine set of jadeite bracelets.
Just an erald-level bracelet alone is worth tens of millions as a collectible.
The value of a collection that includes a necklace and earrings, all sourced from the sa original stone of the sa quality, is even higher.
Yu Ling was almost overwheld. "Ruan Zi, what are you doing? We don’t do this kind of thing."
Her old best friend Ruan Zi laughed. "It’s not for you. You wouldn’t accept it anyway. It’s for your daughter-in-law."
"Why suddenly give it to Little Yue?" Yu Ling was puzzled. "The wedding is over, what are you doing this for now?"
Ruan Zi gave a wry smile, "It’s for my son. You know he works in petrochemicals, right?"
"Your eldest son?" Yu Ling was aware.
Ruan Zi sighed. "He’s been working for a few years now, still a vice president, and it’s stressing out."
"But talking to is useless; that’s under the Luo Family’s control." Yu Ling was helpless.
"I know," Ruan Zi said aningfully, glancing at Yu Ling. "But your daughter-in-law can help."
"Little Yue?" Yu Ling’s mind raced. "The company she manages, iyue Group, doesn’t have any business cooperation with petrochemicals, does it?"
"You, always staying at ho, not keeping up with what’s happening?" Ruan Zi chided Yu Ling. "Your son has achieved a lot lately, brought back plenty of resources from his victories outside, including oil!"
Yu Ling thought it was a minor issue and scoffed. "Then you didn’t need to spend so much finding a connection through , right? How much oil volu is needed for your son to be promoted? This isn’t so city-level manager position; it’s a competition for the senior managent of the top petrochemical group, and that’s not sothing a little bit of oil volu can achieve in one go! I think you don’t understand these things, better take it back; my Little Yue can’t help."
Ruan Zi smiled. "Lingzi, you probably don’t realize how much your son has secured in orders—15 billion tons, sister!"
Yu Ling misheard 15 billion as aning 15 billion dollars in value and was even more baffled. "For 15 billion, you’re giving these gifts to my daughter-in-law? That must’ve cost you a billion, right? And you think 15 billion in business can get your son promoted? Why involve my daughter-in-law at all? Just go to Old Luo and have him help."
"15 billion tons!" Ruan Zi corrected her. "One ton equals seven barrels of oil, and a barrel is currently priced at 77 US dollars. That ans, these 15 billion tons of oil are worth 800 billion US dollars, which is about 5.6 trillion RMB!"
Putting it that way, Yu Ling instantly understood. "Doesn’t that an it could supply our country’s oil consumption for two years?"
Ruan Zi humd. "Otherwise, why would I personally co asking for your help? If this performance gets secured, promotion is a sure thing! Moreover, this set of jadeite is nearly peerless on the market, collected through nationwide channels specifically by my son. Please, just help us out."
Yu Ling was puzzled. "But you didn’t have to give gifts. It’s not like it’s a bank with four competitors; it’s just the two of you nationally, why not just split it?"
Ruan Zi: "Your daughter-in-law is like you, offending no one. She really plans to split it halfway."
"Of course." Yu Ling boasted with pride. "The daughter-in-law I value, how could her character be lacking?"
Ruan Zi sighed. "Lingzi, I’ve never asked you for anything in my life, but today, I’m here to ask you, can you talk to your daughter-in-law about giving my son an additional 20% in petrochemicals? My son as general manager is getting on in years, about to retire soon. His idea is, if any of the three vice presidents can secure an additional 20%, it’ll be their KPI assessnt, and whoever achieves it, gets promoted!"
Yu Ling huffed lightly. "You want my daughter-in-law to offend people?"
"Look what you’re saying," Ruan Zi rolled her eyes at her. "These days, who dares to offend your son and your daughter-in-law? Wouldn’t that be stupid? One is slaying on the international stage, the other handling incoming businesses, one hand on cancer drugs, the other on costics, and now adding this oil resource? They’re literally walking money gods."
"The cake is in their hands; how much they share is their business, who dares to say a word?"
The blunt-faced Ruan Zi straightforwardly grabbed Yu Ling’s arm and coaxed her, "Lingzi, he’s my only son."
Yu Ling was at a loss.
She could only pull out her phone and call Lin Yue.
The call was quickly picked up, a sweet voice answered, "Hello, mom?"
Yu Ling: "Little Yue, are you busy?"
Lin Yue was indeed in a eting, but had already paused it and laughed, "Not busy, what’s up?"
Yu Ling: "Do you rember the next-door Mrs. Ruan? Mom ntioned her childhood friend to you."
"Oh, I rember," Lin Yue responded.
Yu Ling: "Here’s the thing, she wants to send you so belated wedding gifts. Mom thinks they’re pretty; you’d look nice wearing them, so I’ll have her son deliver them to you in Jiangcheng. He works at the petrochemical headquarters."
Hearing the latter part, Lin Yue understood.
She laughed. "Okay, mom, you decide. Let him co."
Yu Ling knew her daughter-in-law grasped the underlying ssage and smiled, "Then go back to your eting, and when I have ti, I’ll co visit you in Jiangcheng."
Lin Yue sweetly replied, "Mm, okay, mom. Be sure to call when you land, I’ll pick you up."
After hanging up the phone.
Yu Ling saw Ruan Zi already clasping her hands together in a bow. "Lingzi, thank you!"
"Hurry up and have your son send the gifts," Yu Ling said, rolling her eyes. "You’re aged and still worrying about youngsters."
Ruan Zi: "Eh, if only my family had soone as capable as your Feng, my husband and I wouldn’t have to worry so much."
Yu Ling rolled her eyes again. "What do you an ’your family’s’? That boy is now everyone’s Divine Beast."
