"Mr. Chen, you can't do this to me. Do you know how much I've paid to help you buy natural pearls? How can you do this? "Spike was really panicking now.
He'd really suffered a huge loss this time. He'd thought that there would be good news in the natural pearl market, so he'd been buying natural pearls like crazy.
However, there was no good news after a few days. Mr. John had already stopped buying natural pearls.
When he realized it, it was already too late. He'd borrowed the high interest from the bank to buy the pearls.
However, the price of natural pearls kept recovering to what it was a few days ago. This wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that even though the price recovered, the market order wasn't restored.
The natural pearl market was only so big. Almost no one would need natural pearls.
Moreover, due to the ups and downs in the past few days, other jewelry merchants didn't want to touch natural pearls in the near future. Therefore, he couldn't sell his goods.
If he waited for a month or two, he would definitely be able to sell them.
However, the bank's interest couldn't wait. It refreshed his limit every day.
Moreover, what he regretted the most was that his original partner, Zola's clothing company, had suddenly stopped working with him.
As a result, his business was greatly affected, and the bank began to collect the money he owed.
Chen Zhao sneered. "You said you wouldn't sell to me. I found someone else to buy natural pearls. Are you blaming me now?"
"Mr. Chen, it was my fault before. Please forgive me. Please help me this time."
"One minute is up. Goodbye."
Chen Zhao hung up. He didn't want to waste time with Spike at all.
Spike had asked for it all. Chen Zhao wasn't the one who set him up.
If he hadn't played those tricks, he would at least have made some money, even if he wasn't rich.
Chen Zhao didn't know how much Spike had lost, nor did he want to know.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Chen Zhao walked out of the hospital and returned to his car. He drove to Ethan's place.
Li Qing was resting in front of the counter. Seeing Chen Zhao, she immediately walked up. "Mr. Chen, this is a peace knot I knitted for you. It's a small gift. Please accept it."
"Huh?"
"Chen, Li gave me one too. Is it really useful?" Ethan asked from behind the counter.
"It's a gift." Chen Zhao accepted the peace knot. "Thank you, Li."
Most Chinese would hang a safety knot in their cars. It was a custom and a habit.
Chen Zhao held the peace knot in his hand. The knot was intricately woven, unlike the ones in China that were made by machines.
Li Qing must have woven it by hand. Chen Zhao realized that he couldn't understand the weaving method.
"Big Sister Qing, your knot of peace is so exquisite. I think you should knit more and sell them in the hotel. You'll definitely make a profit."
Li Qing smiled and shook her head. "How could I weave a few? I only made two in two months."
"Is it that complicated?"
"It's a skill passed down from generation to generation. Even children are unwilling to learn it. Now that it's passed down to me, it's almost lost."
Li Qing's tone carried a hint of sadness. It was unknown if it was because her craft was about to be lost, or because her child had passed away.

Coastal Rescue Team
"Fali, your pendant is so beautiful." A female lifeguard looked at the pendant on Fali's chest.
She couldn't move her eyes away. The other female lifeguards also gathered around.
"Is this a real ruby?"
"Impossible. How much would it cost to make such a big ruby?"
"Maybe it's man-made."
"But it's really beautiful. This touch, this luster, it doesn't look like a man-made gem."
Why does a woman wear a beautiful piece of jewelry?
It wasn't just to increase their charm, but also to show off.
Fali was no exception. She was very satisfied to be praised by other girls.
"It's so beautiful. Fali, can I have a look?"
The female lifeguard took Fali's Redmoon Heart and stroked it carefully in her palm.
"Such an exquisite cut."
When the female lifeguard placed the Crimson Moon Core under the sun, the entire Crimson Moon Core reflected an extremely bright color.
The colors were breathtakingly beautiful. All the women gasped.
It attracted the attention of the male lifeguards in the HQ. Robio walked over.
"Let me see." Robio took the Redmoon Heart. "This isn't man-made fiber or a man-made gem. It's a natural one."
Robio only looked at the sun. Then he covered the gem with his hand and looked at it. "Fali, you shouldn't wear such expensive jewelry to work," he said directly.
"Huh? But Chen said it's not a ruby. "
"If it's man-made fiber, it won't have any internal refraction. Man-Made gems will have phosphorescence and the refraction is straight. This gem is worth at least thirty million dollars. You better keep it. Don't bring it out casually."
The female team members all looked at Fali in disbelief. They couldn't help but show some jealousy.
They all knew Chen Zhao, but they didn't expect him to be so generous.
Not only did he give Fali a luxurious car, but he also gave her such expensive jewelry.
If they knew that the Chinese was so rich, they would've snatched the Chinese guy first no matter what.
"Is this pendant really that valuable?"
"I'm just making an estimate. If you really want an accurate estimate, find a professional appraiser." Robio clapped his hands. "Okay, that's it. Time for work."
The eyes of the women were unable to move away from the Red Moon Heart. This Red Moon Heart was too eye-catching.
Especially for women, it had a fatal attraction.
Wearing the Crimson Moon Heart, Fali looked even more radiant.
After hearing Robio's words, Fali didn't dare to hang the Redmoon Heart around her neck anymore. She quietly put it away.
Seeing Fali put the pendant away, the women turned their attention away.
She didn't dare to wear it at work anymore, but she was still satisfied with the other women's gazes.
Everyone had their vanity. Fali was no exception.
Usually, people would compare each other, whether intentionally or not, from looks to figures.
Fali didn't put the Redmoon Heart back on until she got off work. The women could only look at it and sigh.
On the way home, Fali bought a bottle of red wine.
"Chen, when are you coming back?"
"Soon. What's up?"
"Can't I call if I don't?"
"Okay, I'll come back as soon as possible."
When Chen Zhao returned home, he realized that Fali had already prepared a candlelit dinner.
Just as the two were flirting, Dell's call came at an untimely moment. "Chen, do you know what kind of wine Risfar gave you two days ago?"
"No. What for?"
"It's the 1842 Rawls Wine Cellar Collection."
"And then?"
"That bottle of wine was just sold at this year's spring wine auction for 1.2 million dollars, and the person who won that bottle of wine was Risfar."
