Projects worth hundreds of millions
Li Wei thought for a moment.
He replied with a "Good."
He put away his phone.
Li Wei walked out of the villa.
He got into his car.
He started the engine.
He drove toward the residential complex where Yang Yun lived.
Twenty minutes later.
The car stopped at the entrance of the complex.
Li Wei took out his phone.
He sent a message to Yang Yun.
"I'm here."
Yang Yun replied, "Coming down right away."
A few minutes later.
Yang Yun walked out of the complex.
She had changed her clothes.
A beige trench coat.
A white dress.
She was wearing five-centimeter nude high heels.
Her long hair was tied into a low ponytail.
She exuded a strong, sophisticated aura.
Li Wei pushed open the passenger door.
Yang Yun got in.
She fastened her seatbelt.
"Let's go."
Li Wei started the engine.
"First, let's go to Rose Manor."
With the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Needles at his disposal,
Li Wei felt confident about Qin Xue's mother's condition.
There was no need to rush.
Yang Yun gave an affirmative hum.
The car pulled out of the parking space.
It drove toward Nanshan District.
On the way.
Yang Yun looked out the window.
"Li Wei."
Li Wei turned his head.
"Hmm?"
Yang Yun paused for a moment.
"Do you think there's still hope for Qin Xue's mother's condition?"
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"That's hard to say."
Yang Yun sighed.
"Qin Xue has been under a lot of pressure lately."
She paused.
"She has to take care of her mother while also busy with the Studio."
Li Wei gripped the steering wheel.
"I'll go to the hospital this afternoon to check the situation. It would be best if I could help."
Yang Yun turned her head.
"You talk as if you know medicine?"
Li Wei laughed.
"I actually do know a little."
Yang Yun stared at him for a few seconds.
"A little? You rascal, Li Wei, how many more things are you hiding from me?"
Li Wei turned his head back.
"I'm not hiding anything. It's just some unorthodox, minor tricks."
Yang Yun pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him, letting him interpret it however he wanted.
She paused.
"Forget it. Anyway, if you don't want to say, I won't ask."
Li Wei didn't respond.
The car continued driving forward.
Forty minutes later.
They arrived at Rose Manor.
It was a French restaurant.
The decor was very luxurious.
Several luxury cars were already parked at the entrance.
Li Wei parked the car in the parking lot.
He got out of the car.
He locked the door.
Yang Yun also got out.
She straightened her trench coat and linked her arm with his.
"Let's go."
The two walked toward the restaurant.
A waiter in a tuxedo was standing at the entrance.
"Sir, Madam, do you have a reservation?"
"Murong Wan."
The waiter nodded.
"Mrs. Murong has already arrived. Please follow me."
He led them inside.
They walked through the lobby.
They went upstairs.
At the end of the corridor was a private room.
The waiter knocked on the door.
"Mrs. Murong, the guests have arrived."
Murong Wan's voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The waiter pushed the door open.
Li Wei and Yang Yun walked in.
The private room was very large.
It was exquisitely decorated.
Crystal chandelier.
Leather sofa.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a garden.
Filled with roses.
No wonder it was called Rose Manor.
Murong Wan was sitting in the main seat.
Today, she was wearing a purple qipao.
The slit was very high.
Revealing her fair thighs.
Her long hair was tied into a bun.
She had a noble temperament.
Li Wei couldn't help but take a few extra looks.
He secretly thought that although Murong Wan was 32, her condition was even better than that of a young girl in her twenties.
She had what young girls had.
And she also had what young girls didn't have.
For example, charm.
Seeing Li Wei and Yang Yun.
She smiled.
"Little Yang, Mr. Li, we meet again."
Yang Yun walked over.
"Sister Murong."
Li Wei nodded.
"Mrs. Murong."
Murong Wan gestured for the two to sit down.
"Don't be so formal, sit down."
Li Wei and Yang Yun sat on the sofa opposite her.
Murong Wan poured them each a glass of red wine.
"Try this, an 82-year 1.5L Lafite."
Li Wei picked up the wine glass.
He took a sip.
The taste was mellow.
But it was just okay.
Murong Wan smiled.
"How does Mr. Li find it?"
Li Wei pretended to be profound as he set down his glass.
"Not bad, it leaves a sweet aftertaste."
Murong Wan continued.
"My husband bought this bottle of wine at an auction the year before last."
She paused.
"It cost two hundred thousand."
Yang Yun was stunned.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Murong Wan smiled.
"Yes, my husband likes to collect these things."
She paused.
"We have hundreds of bottles of red wine at home alone."
Li Wei took a sip of wine.
He didn't respond.
This thing costing 200,000 was truly extravagant.
Murong Wan turned to Yang Yun.
"Little Yang, I've seen the design draft for the necklace."
She took out a tablet computer.
"Overall it's good, but there are a few details I want to adjust."
Yang Yun took the tablet.
"Please go ahead."
Murong Wan pointed at the screen.
"The main stone here, I want to change it to a heart-shaped cut."
Yang Yun nodded.
"That's possible, but a heart-shaped cut will waste more of the raw stone."
Murong Wan waved her hand.
"It doesn't matter, money is not an issue."
Yang Yun continued to take notes.
The two discussed for over ten minutes.
Murong Wan put down the tablet.
"Let's leave it at that. You can handle the rest."
Yang Yun put away the tablet.
"Alright, Sister Murong."
Murong Wan turned to Li Wei.
"Mr. Li, I heard last time that you are investing in the jewelry industry?"
Li Wei nodded.
"Yes, I just invested in a Studio."
Murong Wan's eyes lit up.
"Is it Little Yang's Studio?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No, it's her friend's."
Murong Wan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Can you reveal which one it is?"
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"Qin Xue's Studio, I don't know if you've heard of it."
Murong Wan was taken aback.
"Qin Xue?"
She thought for a moment.
"Is that the Jewelry Designer from Fanxing, Qin Xue?"
Li Wei nodded.
Murong Wan smiled.
"I know that girl."
She paused.
"Her design skills are indeed good, but her temper is a bit stubborn."
Li Wei took a sip of wine.
"Is that so?"
Murong Wan continued.
"The year before last, I asked her to customize a bracelet."
She paused.
"As a result, she said my requirements were too tacky and refused."
Yang Yun laughed.
"Sister Murong, that's just Qin Xue's personality. Please don't be angry with her."
Murong Wan sighed.
"Young girls have their pursuits and principles. I understand, and it's not worth getting angry over. It's just that I haven't looked for her since then."
She turned to Li Wei.
"However, since Mr. Li has invested in her Studio, it means she must have compromised in some aspects."
Li Wei smiled.
He couldn't help but think of what Qin Xue told him yesterday, about wanting her mother to see her Studio within her lifetime.
"You could say that."
Murong Wan picked up her wine glass.
"Then I'll toast to you, Mr. Li. Congratulations on gaining a talented general. The jewelry industry in Shen City is about to change."
Li Wei also raised his glass.
"You're too kind, Mrs. Murong. You flatter me too much."
The two clinked glasses.
They took a sip.
Murong Wan set down her glass.
"By the way, Mr. Li, my husband is looking at a jewelry project recently."
She paused.
"If you are interested, we can chat about it."
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"What project?"
Murong Wan smiled.
"A jade mine in Myanmar."
She paused.
"My husband intends to invest five hundred million to mine a mountain."
Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Five hundred million?"
He only had a net worth of ten million now. Talking about a 500-million project felt a bit unreal.
It wasn't as simple as collecting Fu characters on Alipay during the New Year.
