NOVEL NEXT Chapter 73: Truly Ruthless
Although Master Liu had always looked down on Li Mo, Fang Junxiang's persistent emphasis and the mention of that stone had made Master Liu believe that Wang Ye was indeed someone to be wary of.
Otherwise, the plan he and Fang Junxiang had devised could be sabotaged by Wang Ye. If the grand scheme was affected, it would be bad news.
"Fang Junxiang, you just focus on watching the Fang Family. I'll handle the rest. Any move Wang Ye makes within the Fang Family, let me know in time," Master Liu ordered.
"Of course, Master Liu, I'll keep a close eye on him," Fang Junxiang quickly agreed.
As long as Master Liu took this matter seriously, that was enough. Master Liu would be able to think of ways to handle the rest.
"Hmm, you may leave!" Master Liu didn't keep Fang Junxiang around longer.
However, Fang Junxiang didn't leave immediately but approached Master Liu and whispered, "Master Liu, actually, I think maybe we should follow my earlier suggestion and just poison the old man to death!"
Fang Junxiang was truly ruthless when it came to Fang Cunshan. When he spoke of poisoning Fang Cunshan to death, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't hesitate at all.
"I've already said this, Fang Cunshan can't die like that! If it's found out, we'll be in trouble! Moreover, Fang Cunshan is definitely on alert now. Even if you try to poison him, you might not succeed, and it could give him leverage against us!" Master Liu directly rejected Fang Junxiang's suggestion.
Fang Junxiang could only sheepishly step aside, reluctantly saying, "Alright then, I understand!"
But inside, he grumbled to himself: Why not just poison the old man directly? Why bother fabricating some natural illness, using slow-acting poison? Now look, the whole plan is ruined!
"I say, Fang Junxiang, Fang Cunshan is your biological father, after all! How can you be so heartless? Do you really have to poison him to death?" Master Liu couldn't help but question him.
To his surprise, Fang Junxiang replied, "Master Liu, is there a difference to me whether I poison him with a slow-acting poison or poison him directly? Either way, I'm killing him!"
Master Liu, upon hearing this, found himself unable to refute.
Fang Junxiang indeed made sense; no matter how he killed Fang Cunshan, it would be unfilial.
Moreover, Fang Junxiang seemed to have stopped regarding Fang Cunshan as his father a long time ago. Although Master Liu did not know why, it was for this reason that he held Fang Junxiang in low regard.
A man who could kill his own father, what trust could he possibly inspire? Best to use him up and then discard him as soon as possible!
"Enough, Fang Junxiang, no more pointless talk! Go back and tend to your own affairs!"
...
On the other hand, Wang Ye and Fang Feifei had arrived at the Fang Family Jewelry Store together.
Originally, the Fang Family Jewelry Store was expected to be targeted by Master Liu and suffer damage. But with Li Mo's presence, not only did the jewelry store overcome its difficulties, but it also became busier and more prosperous than ever.
The number of people coming to purchase jewelry and gemstones was higher than usual. The business of gemstone gambling was extraordinarily lively.
"Wang Ye, do you see? The current success of the Fang Family Jewelry Store is all thanks to you! It seems I need to give you a raise, our chief treasure appraiser!" Fang Feifei said gleefully as she observed the bustling scene.
Making some achievements in the jewelry store would give her enough bargaining chips in the Fang Family in the future!
And Fang Feifei's ambitions didn't stop there. This was just the beginning.
"Miss Fang, this is the result of everyone's efforts, how can it all be attributed to me?" Wang Ye said modestly.
"Ahem, Wang Ye, there's no need to be modest! Now, in the Fang Family Jewelry Store, who would not recognize your contributions? The morale within the store has stabilized. So, I have a more important task for you," Fang Feifei said, patting Wang Ye on the shoulder.
Wang Ye paused, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Miss Fang, what do you want me to do now? Acting as the appraiser, I'm already going all out! I might not be capable of other tasks."
In Wang Ye's view, he was already in deep enough with the Fang family. Therefore, he certainly couldn't continue to do more for Fang Feifei.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have time for his own affairs.
"It's nothing else, just something that an appraiser should do," Fang Feifei said, looking at Wang Ye.
"Something that an appraiser should do? What's that?" Wang Ye still felt something was off.
"It's about purchasing rough stones. The bet stone business is booming at the store now, so we need to buy a new batch of rough stones! As the chief appraiser, this is your duty, isn't it?" Fang Feifei replied.
Wang Ye couldn't deny it, this indeed was something he should do.
"The Fang Family Jewelry Store is so large, there should be a corresponding supplier of rough stones! In that case, I shouldn't need to do much, right? Just oversee a little."
"True, the Fang Family Jewelry Store used to have a supplier! But now that I've taken over the responsibility for the store, naturally, the supplier needs to be changed too, right?"
Changing suppliers, wasn't this making trouble out of nothing, causing needless complications?
Fang Feifei wanted to establish her footing and authority in the Fang family as soon as possible, which Wang Ye understood. But he found her approach somewhat puzzling. She seemed to be in too much of a hurry.
"Miss Fang, why are you in such a hurry? The jewelry store has just stabilized; it should develop for a while first," Wang Ye suggested.
Fang Feifei shook her head seriously, "That's not possible, I want to develop, but others won't give me the chance! Liu Yuntuo has already set his sights on me, you know this. If I'm not mistaken, he should be negotiating with the jewelry store's previous supplier now, trying to cut off my supply chain."
"Is that so?" Wang Ye was not very familiar with the business battlefield, but seeing Fang Feifei so serious, he thought it might be true.
"Don't worry so much, these aren't things you need to consider! In short, just follow me, and help me assess the product quality of potential suppliers," she said.
Fang Feifei didn't want to discuss business matters with Wang Ye any further. After all, there was no use talking about it; he didn't understand.
Wang Ye thought for a moment and could only nod, "All right, I agree! Leave the evaluation of the rough stones to me."
"That's the right attitude! As long as you follow me and work hard, there are plenty of benefits to come!"
Benefits?
Wang Ye listened but was not at all tempted.
Just then, Fang Feifei's cellphone rang.
After looking at the caller ID, she said to Wang Ye, "See, talk of the devil! This is a call from the current supplier."
