NOVEL NEXT Chapter 426: Stay Calm and Unperturbed in the Face of Change
"No."
"You..."
"Wang Ye has already said that it takes half an hour for the effects to show, so you definitely won't feel anything if you ask now."
Seemingly realizing that his partner might be getting impatient, Guo Pengzhan didn't say more. However, less than three minutes had passed when he couldn't help but ask again:
"Do you feel any better yet?"
"No."
Although Gu Jing's face showed some impatience, she honestly shared her feelings, and her tone carried a hint of petulant resignation.
Wang Ye was inside the house, listening to Guo Pengzhan's repeated inquiries, feeling somewhat helpless. Yet within this helplessness, he sensed a touch of sweetness.
Half an hour later.
Wang Ye walked out of the bedroom, and at this time, Guo Pengzhan became nervous instead, holding his breath as he looked at Gu Jing, not asking any more questions, as if awaiting the start of a magical miracle.
The paleness on Gu Jing's face slowly began to fade, and she embraced Guo Pengzhan tightly. This time, without waiting for Guo Pengzhan to ask, Gu Jing burst into tears and said:
"Much better! I feel a lot better! My dear, I really do feel so much better!"
After the excitement, Gu Jing and Guo Pengzhan sat down together, while Wang Ye sat on another sofa.
Guo Pengzhan looked at Wang Ye and spoke:
"Wang Ye, I don't have any financial means to repay you, but I do have a clue I can give you."
Before Wang Ye could respond in protest, Guo Pengzhan went on: "In the Dushan area of Wolong City, Nanhe Province, not only is there jade, but there are also True Stones."
"It's just that True Stones are very difficult to mine, and can only be extracted using special methods. There are others with such methods, too, but I don't trust them."
Guo Pengzhan's words made Wang Ye's entire expression turn serious; he had not expected that Guo Pengzhan would provide him with such an important clue.
What was Wang Ye's most ardent desire, his greatest need right now?
Strength!
To enhance his own strength!
But merely absorbing True Qi was not enough to significantly increase his power. And as for True Stones, those were exceedingly rare commodities.
So in such a situation, Guo Pengzhan suddenly telling him there was a place where True Stones could be mined - how could that not excite Wang Ye?
"Grandfather... Are you telling the truth?"
Wang Ye was emotional, knowing that there was no need for formalities in this situation. He genuinely needed this, and as for Guo Pengzhan, he himself would not do the mining, so even if Wang Ye behaved formally, it would be pointless.
"Of course, it's true!"
Guo Pengzhan lifted his chin proudly, looking somewhat endearing at that moment.
...
Meanwhile.
Two pieces of news were spreading throughout every Jewelry Group.
In the office of Du Juan Jewelry Group, currently the largest and ranked first in Dragon Country.
Du Juan looked at her personal secretary who had just come in, a pretty-faced young man, who at that moment was looking at Du Juan with an excited expression, saying, "Boss, guess what two pieces of news I just found out about?"
As Du Juan, busy with work, raised her head, she saw his excited face and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
Her pretty-faced secretary was not only handsome but also quite compatible with her in that regard and knew how to attend to her needs. In terms of work, he was more than just a pretty face, able to help her handle many matters.
But the key issue was, he got excited too easily.
Du Juan reminded the pretty-faced young man before her, "Wang Kaiqi, you have to remember one thing, no matter what happens, you need to remain calm and composed, not get too excited. A person who can stay cool in any situation is the most charismatic and attractive."
"Okay, I got it."
The pretty-faced young man nodded, looking at Du Juan with deep admiration.
He was capable in his own right, but even so, he preferred to stay by Du Juan's side as a pretty face. Was it because of money?
It was because of money.
But, while on one hand, it was indeed because of money, on the other, it was more because of the strong woman charisma that Du Juan exuded, which attracted the pretty-faced young man.
"Alright then, tell me what those two pieces of news are."
"Okay."
The pretty-faced young man, wanting to satisfy Du Juan, deliberately adjusted his breathing and mood to appear more composed before continuing, "The first piece of news is, tonight, Guo Pengzhan invited Wang Ye to dinner."
Du Juan was somewhat shocked. Over the years, she had tried numerous methods just to have a meal with Guo Pengzhan, but it had never come to pass, and now Wang Ye had just met Guo Pengzhan today and was already being invited to dinner.
But, though the news was shocking, Du Juan still managed to maintain her expression, keeping her composure.
"The second piece of news, the Yao Family Jewelry Group was acquired by Fang Family Jewelry Store, with the promise that Wang Ye will give Yao Hang ten percent of the shares."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this news, Du Juan immediately stood up from her seat, her eyes dead set on the pretty-faced young man's face, and her voice even louder, "What did you say?"
"I said..."
The pretty-faced young man was startled by Du Juan's reaction, having never seen her like this before, causing him to jump when Du Juan acted so suddenly, but he repeated the second piece of news once more.
Du Juan was completely unsettled now.
Because of Yao Hang, everyone in the jewelry industry of Dragon Country, and not just within, was eyeing the Yao Family Jewelry Group.
And Du Juan, as the owner of the top-ranked jewelry group in Dragon Country, had she never thought of taking over the Yao Family Jewelry Group?
She had!
Even though Du Juan Jewelry Group was already quite large, the key point was, no one would mind having more money.
To take over the Yao Family Jewelry Group, Du Juan Jewelry Group had made detailed plans on their end, but before they could start executing them, the Yao Family Jewelry Group was swiftly acquired by Fang Family Jewelry Store.
