"Young Master, CK has already made a move," Anam said as he stood in front of Ying Qingcang. "They want the diamond."
Ying Qingcang's eyes were glued to the computer screen, which was playing the scene of Xin Qing being framed at the entrance of the diamond mine.
"What's the result of the investigation? Who did it? "
"It's not the two women from Cardi." Anam shook his head. "But... we can't find out who did it."
Ying Qingcang's eyes darkened. "It seems that the other party is more cunning than we thought."
"Should we do something about it? The matter of the diamond has been delayed by Miss. " Anam couldn't help but praise Xin Qing. "Miss has grown a lot since she went out alone. She solved this matter beautifully!"
Ying Qingcang looked proud, as if he was the one being praised. But what he said was, "In the end, she still couldn't solve it. Now CK is forcing her. Let's see what she can do!"
"Young Master, do you mean that we shouldn't do anything? Wait? "Anam despised him in his heart." You just want to use this opportunity to make Miss look for you... "
Xin Qing was really under pressure this time. CK called every day to ask about it, but she didn't know what to do. She could only say that a few shareholders were on vacation and had to wait until school started. The diamond auction was at the end of September. CK believed her and sent someone directly to sign a contract with her to work at CK after graduation next year. No matter how ignorant Xin Qing was, she knew that she definitely couldn't sign a contract at this time.
Besides, what made her feel sad was that she had told Childe Shen about this matter, so Ying Qingcang should know about it as well. He knew that she couldn't solve it, but he didn't even call her. It seemed that he didn't want to care about her at all. Xin Qing had been reading the domestic news every day to see if there was any news about Ying Qingcang's engagement. Her heart was going up and down, and she didn't know what to do. Seeing that school was about to start, she received a very unexpected phone call.
"Miss Xin! I'm William, do you still remember me? "
Xin Qing exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. William! You … How did you know my number? "
"Hehe, this is very simple." William's laughter came from the other side of the phone. Xin Qing could even imagine how he was laughing now. "What's the matter?"
"I heard that CK wants to sell you diamonds?"
Xin Qing wasn't surprised that he knew the news. She just smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, I'm worried to death."
"What's there to worry about?" William's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "What they did was against the rules."
Xin Qing thought for a moment and asked him, "Mr. William, do you also want this diamond?"
"Of course I want it." William seemed to laugh again. "Don't worry, I'm not here to put pressure on you. I just wanted to ask. If you don't want to sell it to CK, I can help you."
Xin Qing didn't get agitated. She continued to ask calmly, "What's in it for you?"
"Hehe, why don't you think that I just want to help you?"
"Although I'm not very smart, I'm not an idiot either." Xin Qing said seriously, "The business world is inextricably linked. CK is such a big company, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. You don't have to make enemies with CK because of me." She paused. "I think … Your only goal is to get me to continue the auction so that you can buy the diamond!"
"Miss Xin, I really underestimated you. Chinese people are indeed very smart." Low laughter came from the other side of the phone. William laughed and said, "But … you forgot one thing. Although I didn't buy it directly from you, as long as I said something, I would have already offended CK. So, you will definitely owe me this favor! "
Xin Qing was about to say something when the other party interrupted her.
"Don't be anxious. I will let CK go through the auction process and I will definitely not blame you. What you have to do in return is to design a ring for me personally when I need it in the future."
"That's all?" Xin Qing didn't quite believe him.
William smiled again and asked in return, "What else can I do? What do you think I want from you? "
Xin Qing pursed her lips. "Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"Okay, call this number. This is my private number!" William hung up after he finished speaking. Xin Qing threw herself onto the sofa and pondered for a long time. Then, she picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and hung up again. After a few repetitions, she tossed the phone aside.
"Ah! Forget it. If you don't care, then so be it. There are plenty of people who will care! "Xin Qing vented her anger at the air.
The day before school started, CK came looking for her. This time, he didn't talk about buying the diamond. Instead, he told her to go to school without worry. The diamond would still go through the auction process. No matter what, she would still be CK's designer. Xin Qing knew that William must have done something. CK was no fool either. He already knew that Xin Qing owned a mine. So as long as he kept her alive, it would mean that she had a connection with his own diamond mine. Who knew if he could use her in the future?
Xin Qing didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. She already had a premonition of what she would face when school started, just like now.
"Xin Qing! You actually have a diamond mine! " Kass yelled and ran over when she saw her. She dragged her into the classroom. "I knew you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich!" The students around her were also looking at her, but they all smiled politely at her.
"Don't be so loud. Everyone will hate you." Xin Qing was helpless.
Kass glared at her. "Why would they hate you? They can't wait to suck up to you! " She sneaked closer to Xin Qing. "I heard that CK has already decided on your position. You can start work after graduation next year."
"You're really well-informed!" Xin Qing looked at her in disbelief.
Kass raised her chin proudly. "Of course! By the way, the teacher said that you were sick. Are you okay now? "
"I'm fine!" Xin Qing looked up and saw the middle-aged teacher walking in with slippers. She wanted to thank him, but he looked at her with indifference. Xin Qing was stunned for a moment. After a while, she came to her senses and sat down in her seat with a smile.
After that, Xin Qing would be pointed at by people on campus. Suddenly, many boys would send her flowers. Diana even joked with her that if they could marry a rich woman like her, they would have 20 years less to work. She was also a beautiful woman. Which man wouldn't want to try their luck?
"Then why didn't they come to you?" Xin Qing asked Diana, who was sitting opposite her, with a faint smile. "You look more like a rich young lady!"
Diana smiled at her. "You don't know the British aristocrats. They're not as glamorous as they seem."
"They definitely don't include you!" Xin Qing looked at her delicate eyes. "At least you look good."
"Many aristocrats only have a title. Their family property has long been ruined." When Diana said this, she still maintained a perfect posture. She even touched her sideburns proudly. "Those aristocrats guard the houses left behind by their ancestors. They tell everyone that even their toilets are antiques. In fact, there's nothing left in them."
"Nothing left?"
Diana glanced at Xin Qing. "They're all sold!"
"Those aristocrats have to socialize in high society. They spend a lot of money. They don't want to miss out on social balls and auctions. They need money, so they sell all their ancestors' things. "
Hearing her say this, Xin Qing suddenly remembered a news report. The treasures that the Eight-Power Alliance plundered from the Old Summer Palace in Beijing had begun to be recovered overseas in recent years. Many of them were taken out for auction.
"What's on your mind?" Diana saw that she was a little distracted.
Xin Qing shook her head. "Nothing. No wonder a lot of our national treasures have been auctioned abroad recently."
"That's right. It's also a phenomenon of the decline of the aristocrats. That family doesn't have many treasures in their hands! The first to be taken out are naturally the valuable ones. " Diana looked at Xin Qing. "The guys in the academy are very clear about this kind of thing, so they won't be so crazy about me. Who can guarantee that I'm not a fallen aristocrat?"
Xin Qing smiled. "They're blind."
"Haha, how do you know?" Diana blinked, revealing a rare playful look.
Xin Qing always felt that Diana was the kind of woman who had secrets. She didn't want to have a close relationship with such a woman. At the same time, she also hoped that the woman's secrets wouldn't have anything to do with her. Because it would be terrible to have a beautiful and smart woman as an enemy.
Xin Qing couldn't stay for lunch because of the situation in the school. Every day, she left in a hurry after school. In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xin Qing's mood was getting worse and worse. She remembered that Asha's birthday was coming. It was her first birthday, but she wasn't by her side. Although she sent the gift back early, she thought that the little baby could walk now. If she was still there, she would have heard her call her mother …
"You're in a daze on the side of the road again!" In the evening, Xin Qing pushed the shopping cart out of the supermarket and walked home absent-mindedly. Her mind was full of Asha's soft face. She was startled by the sudden sound in her ear. As soon as she looked up, she saw William standing in front of her and looking at her with a smile.
"Mr. William?" Xin Qing was surprised. "Why are you here?"
William looked at the car on the side of the road and said, "I was passing by and saw that you were about to hit a tree!"
"I'm sorry!" Xin Qing scratched her head. "Every time you see me in such a sorry state. I'm fine. I'll watch the road carefully. You should go! "
William looked at her. "Let me take you back. You look like you have something on your mind. It won't be good if you fall later. "
"No, we'll be there soon. Besides, I can't carry such a big shopping cart into your car!" Xin Qing hurriedly refused. She felt that she wasn't familiar enough with him to take a ride.
William looked at the shopping cart and said, "It's okay. I'll ask someone to send it back to the supermarket. You can get in!" Then two people got out of the car and prepared to help Xin Qing carry the shopping cart. Xin Qing was about to stop them when she heard another voice.
"Where are you taking her?"
