Chapter 841: Setting Off Firecrackers to Celebrate

“Mr Qi is really good with words! Let’s do it together!” Manager Sun praised Mr Qi. However, Manager Sun was better at it. He refilled Jiang Yao’s glass with fruit juice and filled his glass with wine. He was the first to cater to Mr Qi as he stood up.

They had discussed work matters, and the atmosphere after that was relatively harmonious. Huang Chengjing talked to Jiang Yao about the jewelry company and some of his own experiences. It was apparent that Jiang Yao wanted to open a jewelry company, but he did not think of Jiang Yao as a competitor.

After the dinner was over, Manager Sun sent Lu Yuqing and Gu Haoyu back to the hotel, while Jiang Yao talked to Huang Chengjing for a while outside the hotel.

Huang Chengjing learned that he would be neighbors with Jiang Yao and Lu Yuqing after he was back, so he was not in a hurry to send Lu Yuqing to show off in front of her.

Since there was no one else around, Huang Chengjing started to talk about another matter with Jiang Yao.

“The news about the raw stones that you put up for auction in the underground trading hall has been circulating for the past few days. Many people are now asking who sold those pieces of raw jade. They want to know where you bought them to be able to produce such good quality jade.”

Huang Cheng smiled and said, “Many people are guessing that you might be an old competitor, that you probably bought the raw stones from the Purple Orchid Garden in Jindo. If everyone knew the truth, that you bought them from the Zhu family’s store, which they have been cursing for a long time, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.”

The Zhu family’s incident had caused many people to lose all their money. The trading hall was closed, and many people had used stones to smash their door.

Jiang Yao’s lips curled into a smile. She looked at Huang Chengjing and teased him. “When Zhu Qianlan leaves Nanjiang city, shouldn’t you set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate that?”

“You’re right! We should set off firecrackers to celebrate and get rid of bad luck!” Huang Chengjing smiled helplessly. “I can’t even begin to describe the experience when a woman like her pesters someone so relentlessly. If Lu Yuqing asks about it, please help me to explain. Don’t let Young Master Lu talk bad about me in front of her.”

After the car arrived, Huang Chengjing waved at Jiang Yao. “I’ll congratulate you again when you move into your new home.”

“Sure, we’ll be neighbors then. Tell Chenchen that I have pomegranates in my yard. She can come and pick them every year.” Manager Sun had casually mentioned that Huang Chenchen liked the pomegranates in her new home, so Jiang Yao had kept it for her.

Since she had stood her friends up for dinner that night, Jiang Yao decided to bring them supper. If she had not done that, then Wen Xuehui would probably ask her to write a 500-word essay as an apology before she would let her into the room.

“Oh, right, Jiang Yao! I heard from a senior intern in our department that he saw Lin Shunhe apply for a job at his unit today. Then, for some reason, he left in a huff,” Wen Xuehui said as she ate the roast meat that Jiang Yao had brought for them. “Shengqi Hospital had taken such quick action; they had fired him.”

Jiang Yao thought that Lin Shuhe was even faster. He had only been fired, and he had applied for a new job in a new hospital that afternoon.
