Chen Mo's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.
He wanted to explain, but remembering what happened with Fang Fang that day, Chen Mo truly didn't know what to say.
"Don't think I don't know, you bought over a dozen bags at the Lv store," Mo Xiaojing said, glancing at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo felt a wave of awkwardness and explained, "Those were for my sister." kuAiδugg
"Is that so?" Mo Xiaojing asked meaningfully.
To cover his embarrassment, Chen Mo quickly changed the subject, "Do you know where I can buy top-grade jade and gemstones?"
"What do you need these for? Are you planning to give them away again?"
"Not to give away, I have other uses for them," Chen Mo replied.
Seeing that Chen Mo didn't seem to be lying, Mo Xiaojing then said, "My father knows a jade merchant. I'll take you to see him after dinner."
"Alright," Chen Mo nodded.
As for the jade market in Longhua, the quality of the raw jade there was too poor, and Chen Mo didn't have the time to try his luck there.
At this moment, in the president's office of Chengming Group.
Brown Yolman sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, looking leisurely and content.
Opposite him sat a middle-aged man, also holding a glass of red wine.
"Mr. Brown seems determined to get this matter settled?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Brown Yolman replied, "Mr. Long, in this land of Longhua, any project that Chengming Group sets its sights on, we have never failed to obtain."
"With Mr. Brown taking action, I, Long Aotian, am very reassured. As long as you give me that small piece of land, we will agree to all of Chengming Group's conditions." Long Aotian raised his wine glass and clinked it with Brown Yolman's.
"Hahahaha."
"Rest assured, Mr. Long. As I said before, those who dare to refuse cooperation with Chengming Group will pay a heavy price. I want to see how long Hengchang Real Estate can hold on?"
"Bang!"
The two clinked glasses and finished the red wine in their cups.
Then, Brown Yolman couldn't help but ask, "There's just one thing I don't quite understand."
"What is it?"
"Mr. Long, why do you only fancy that small area at the foot of the mountain out of over eight hundred mu of land? I took a look, and it seems to be only a few mu there."
Long Aotian paused his movements and smiled faintly, "For us noble families, we value feng shui. Only by living in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters can we better enhance our strength."
"So that's how it is. No wonder Mr. Long is willing to pay such a high price for these few mu of land," Brown Yolman nodded as if he suddenly understood.
However, he also knew that Long Aotian in front of him would definitely not tell him the truth.
"Bang!"
Just then, the door was suddenly opened.
A man in a suit rushed in in a panic.
Brown Yolman's expression darkened, and he glared at the man, "What's going on? Why are you so flustered?"
Seeing that there were people in the office, the man did not speak directly.
Brown Yolman reprimanded, "Mr. Long is one of us, so just say whatever you need to say."
The man then spoke, "President, we just received news from over there."
"What? Have they lost their patience? Are they planning to talk to me about cooperation?" Brown Yolman asked smugly.
"No, no," the man shook his head fearfully.
"Not? Then what news has come?" Brown Yolman frowned slightly.
"Our people have been beaten! And every single one of them has been severely injured!"
"What did you say?!" Brown Yolman stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
He hadn't expected the news to be like this!
The man repeated, "President, our people have all been severely injured and are now in the hospital!"
Brown Yolman's face turned terrifyingly dark.
Especially noticing Long Aotian's gaze, he sternly questioned, "Why didn't you call the police? This isn't the first time they've done something like this, do I need to teach them how to do their job?"
The man said nervously, "They, they said they didn't dare."
"Dare?"
Brown Yolman cursed, "A bunch of cowards! What are they afraid of from some employees?"
The man quickly explained, "President, they are not employees."
"Then who are they? Could it be that kid hired some thugs?" Brown Yolman asked.
"It's, it's Ma Sihai. He personally led the people, and they also threatened that if they dared to call the police, their families would disappear!"
"What! Ma Sihai?!" Brown Yolman's eyes widened.
"Why would he be there?"
"I, I don't know, but I heard that Ma Sihai was very respectful to the leader," the man continued.
Upon hearing this, Long Aotian couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile, "Mr. Brown, I'll take my leave now."
With that, Long Aotian stood up, preparing to leave.
"Mr. Long, please rest assured, I will resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Please believe me." Brown Yolman quickly guaranteed.
Long Aotian smiled faintly, "I naturally believe Mr. Brown, but Mr. Brown, don't disappoint us either, after all, Chengming Group is not the only one watching that matter."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Long, we will not disappoint you."
Hearing Brown Yolman's reply, Long Aotian then turned and left.
After seeing Long Aotian leave, Brown Yolman's expression became extremely grim.
Just moments ago, he had confidently guaranteed that there would be no problems with this matter, and now his face had been severely slapped.
"Continue to send people over. If ten people are not enough, send over a hundred. I don't believe he can beat all of them into the hospital," Brown Yolman ordered coldly.
The man's face twitched involuntarily.
Competing with the underworld in terms of numbers was clearly a sign of a lack of intelligence.
The man quickly said, "President, we don't have that many people, and when they heard that Ma Sihai personally led people to guard the place, no one dared to go there anymore."
"Slap!"
Brown Yolman immediately smashed the wine glass onto the floor.
"Then find a way for me, no matter what means you use, you must make them stop working!" Brown Yolman berated.
"Yes, President, I'll go do it now!" This was the first time the man had seen his president lose his temper so much, so he quickly nodded in agreement, not daring to delay in the slightest.
"Bang!"
However, just as the man was about to leave the president's office.
The originally closed door was again opened in a panic.
"President, something's wrong!" a middle-aged man's face looked somewhat flustered.
Brown Yolman's face was dark, "What's going on?"
The middle-aged man explained, "Just now, two business partners announced they are stopping cooperation with us. One of them even paid a million in liquidated damages."
"What? They are proactively stopping cooperation with us? And they paid us liquidated damages?" Brown Yolman was somewhat stunned, even thinking he had misheard.
