Chapter 511 - 511 Big Diamond
511 Big Diamond
Only then did CEO Zhao come back to his senses. He looked at the diamond that was larger than a goose egg on the table and revealed a different expression. Then, he took out a small gift box from his bag and spoke as he held it.
“I recently obtained a few good natural diamonds. I wanted to give them to you, but from the looks of it, it seems…”
As he spoke, he opened the small gift box and revealed three natural diamonds the size of bottle caps to everyone. They looked very big and their color was very smooth. Although they were not small, they were smaller than the natural diamond on the table that was larger than a goose egg.
“Hehehe… It’s a little shabby…”
CEO Zhao was a little embarra.s.sed. He looked at his diamonds and then at the goose egg diamond on the table. He wished he could find a hole to hide in. He felt ashamed. It was simply too awkward.
Ye Xuan didn’t think much of it. Giving gifts was a token of their sincerity. There was no need to compare. That would be too inappropriate. Hence, he took CEO Zhao’s small gift box and thanked him.
“Hey, you can’t say that. I think the diamonds CEO Zhao gave me have a different color. They’re different from this diamond. They each have their own beauty. Thank you, thank you.”
Hearing that Chairman Ye was giving him a way out, CEO Zhao was grateful and apologized.
“It’s good that Chairman Ye likes it. I don’t have anything else to do. Since the gift is here, I’ll take my leave first. When Chairman Ye is free next time, let’s have a good gathering.”
As he spoke, he picked up the cup of hot tea and drank it in one gulp. Then, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Ye Xuan couldn’t say anything to persuade him to stay. After all, if he kept CEO Zhao around, he would probably die of embarra.s.sment. He might as well send him away. Both sides would be comfortable.
Therefore, he only smiled and sent CEO Zhao out before bidding him farewell.
“Then I won’t send you off. When there’s a chance next time, I’ll definitely get together with CEO Zhao.”
“Okay, okay, okay. With Chairman Ye’s words, I’m relieved. Hehehe, then I’ll leave first. Chairman Ye, go ahead. Ah, go ahead.”
After all, giving gifts was to get a chance to have a meal and drink with the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation. Now that he had succeeded, he had to leave. It would not be good if he did something bad or provoked others.
A good deed would turn into a bad deed. This was definitely something that could not appear in the options.
As for the meal, everyone knew that being able to eat with the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation meant that their future path would be much smoother. Although they were already big shots in the Chinese business world, it was inevitable that there would be some problems with many things. If one had to ask, their strength was not as extraordinary as the Dinglong Corporation and they could not obtain enough respect in the eyes of many foreign companies.
However, as long as they could have a meal with the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation, it meant that the backer behind everyone was the Dinglong Corporation. If this was publicized, not to mention respect, just their shares would increase by an unknown amount overnight. It might even rise to the limit.
After all, citizens or foreign companies did not believe in top-notch companies like CEO Zhao. At the very least, they would believe in the leading company, the Dinglong Corporation. With a big brother supporting them from behind, they were not afraid of anyone.
Ye Xuan also understood this logic. As for the meal, he was just being polite. Whether they ate or not depended on whether CEO Zhao’s company was worth it or not.
He could accept gifts, and it was fine to tell others. It was just a form of respect. It was fine for Ye Xuan to accept whatever he wanted. However, he could not casually have meals with others. The meaning of the two options was different, so he naturally had to consider it.
After sending CEO Zhao off, the President of Cartier stood up and prepared to leave. The gift had already been delivered and the chairman of her company had already met him, so she couldn’t stay any longer. She spoke respectfully.
“Okay, okay. Be careful on the road.”
Ye Xuan replied politely and walked her out of the door beside the President of Cartier. He continued.
“Then I won’t send you off. Take your time on the way back. If there’s anything in the company, you can inform me. I’ll try my best to take care of it.”
“Alright, Chairman Ye. You can go back. I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, the President of Cartier bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan before turning around and walking into the elevator, disappearing from Ye Xuan’s sight.
After seeing the President of Cartier leave, Ye Xuan returned to his room and handed the three diamonds that CEO Zhao had brought to his sisters. He smiled and spoke.
“Are you happy? There are three natural diamonds that are this big.”
“Haha, of course. I really didn’t dote on you for nothing, young brat. You brought so many diamonds for your sisters. You’re too beautiful. If you take it and make it into a ring, tsk tsk, you’ll be so beautiful.”
His Fourth Sister Ye Chan spoke happily. She held the three diamonds and could not bear to part with them. Her eyes were as bright as the stars in the Milky Way.
The other sisters were the same. They held the diamonds and stared at them without blinking. They were overjoyed.
After a while, his father, Ye Hongliang, returned to his room with his mother, Sun Xiaoqin, chatting and laughing. He was carrying bags of things in his hands, and his face was covered in sweat.
As soon as he returned, he felt like he had been revived. He lay on the sofa and panted for a long time before he recovered. Then, he muttered.
“The weather is really hot. Look at you. Why did you go to the shopping street instead of the mall? There’s no air-conditioning. It’s so hot.”
Faced with her husband’s complaints, their mother, Sun Xiaoqin, spoke indignantly.
“I’m tired of shopping in the mall. It’s not as good as walking on the streets. Why, Old Ye, did you feel wronged when you went shopping with me?”
“Then don’t go to these shopping streets. Aren’t you asking for trouble if you go shopping in this weather?”
Ye Hongliang continued to complain. As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the diamond that was bigger than a goose egg and the three diamonds that were the size of bottle caps in his daughters’ hands. He was first shocked, then he revealed a puzzled expression. He glanced at everyone and asked.
“What… What’s with this diamond?”
“Little Brother gave it to me. How is it, Dad? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Big Sister Ye Wan replied. Then, she picked up the diamond and placed it in front of Ye Hongliang, letting him observe it carefully.
“It’s indeed not bad. It’s all natural. Son, where did you get it? This kind of diamond is not easy to get.”
“It’s from a guest who came today. He gave everyone a set of diamonds. Come, Mom, this big one is for you. I’ll find a time to put on a ring or earring.”
Fifth Sister Ye Fei picked up the diamond that was bigger than a goose egg and handed it to her mother, Sun Xiaoqin. Sun Xiaoqin looked at the diamond with sparkling eyes. Her face was so happy that it was as if she had instantly become ten years younger.
However, after looking around, she returned the diamond to Ye Fei and smiled lovingly.
“Your father gave me a lot of things. You should keep this. In the future, you can do whatever you want with it. Mom will like it if you dress up beautifully.”
