Yan Beichen rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "It's useless. I promised Xu Ting to keep the identity of the owner of Youyu a secret."

"Okay, then don't tell me. Then give me some more Youyu!" Li Xiu'an said pitifully.

"More? Don't even think about it. Tell me how much Youyu you have taken from me recently. Should I still do business with you?" Yan Beichen said with a headache, rubbing his forehead with his hand.

Li Xiu'an's tone softened. "It's really not my fault. It was those crazy medical researchers who got the quality inspection report of the Youyu Jade from somewhere. Ever since they got a piece and started researching it, they've been coming to me all day asking for Youyu Jade. I still don't have enough."

Li Xiu'an felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. Lately, he had really become afraid of those medical researchers.

"Give me some more, please. My old boss secretly gave the Youyu to Professor Sun at the Medical Research Institute while I was on break as a favor. I made a big scene with him, and now he has nothing left. He didn't even leave me a little. Please give me some more!"

Li Xiu'an really doesn't care about his face at all for Youyu.

Yan Beichen looked at the other party and explained: "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you. The masters have already made the Youyu into finished products and will be selling them in the mall soon. I don't have any Youyu raw stones on hand."

"Jewelry is fine too. I'm not picky." Li Xiu'an said, looking at Yan Beichen.

Yan Beichen had no choice but to say, "I'll have someone send it to the appraisal center for you in a couple of days."

"No! I'll get it!" Li Xiu'an waved his hands quickly when he thought of the people blocking his residence and workplace.

"Hey! If Li Yan hadn't shown off the jewelry you gave her everywhere, Qing Ning wouldn't have seen it. In the final analysis, it's your fault for doting on that girl too much." Li Xiu'an slumped down on the sofa, looking at his friend with a resentful look on his face.

Yan Beichen raised his head, his eyes fixed on the other person, and asked inquiringly: "Little girl, if you like me as your brother, of course I should pamper you. But it's strange that Qingning would come to you for Youyu."

"More than just looking for me, she blocked me everywhere at home and work, otherwise I wouldn't come here to hide with you." Li Xiu'an felt aggrieved just thinking about it.

Yan Beichen walked over to Li Xiu'an and poured a cup of tea to him to comfort him: "After all, you and Qingning were engaged. Even though it was Qingning who insisted on breaking off the engagement, you shouldn't hide from her, right?"

Li Xiu'an felt that Yan Beichen was just watching his show, and he almost couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "I don't care. Anyway, we are not each other's type, so I am not embarrassed to meet. It's just that you know that girl works at the Medical Research Institute, right? She and those crazy people at the Medical Research Institute have been asking about Youyu's affairs——"

Li Xiu'an didn't continue speaking, but the meaning was self-evident.

Yan Beichen put away his smile and stared at the other person closely: "If any information about Youyu is leaked outside, I will think it was you who leaked it."

"Why? What if it was you who spread it?" Li Xiu'an was almost angry enough to jump up and down at Yan Beichen's words.

Yan Beichen stopped, turned around and looked at the other party and replied: "I can't."

Li Xiu'an wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Yan Beichen didn't give him time to continue speaking. He simply opened the office door and walked out.

Li Xiu'an was lying on the sofa, sighing. His cell phone rang. He took it out and glanced at the name on it. Qing Ning, that girl, was still haunting him. He hung up and tossed the phone aside.

Mu Sheng returned to the shop, and as soon as he and Lu Ming walked in, Manager Xu handed an invitation letter to Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng opened it doubtfully, saw the stamp on it, and put the invitation aside.

Upon seeing this, Manager Xu quickly explained, "This is a jewelry exhibition held by the owner of the shop next door. I heard that their signature jewelry is on display there.

"Their boss has invited not only many leaders in the jewelry industry, but also a large number of journalists and media. The event is scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow. I think they invited you deliberately to make you look bad. I suggest the boss avoid attending this kind of event for the time being."

Mu Sheng sneered, "Since they've invited us so warmly, how can we refuse? Of course we have to go and show our support."

"But..." Manager Xu hesitated to speak.

Mu Sheng picked up the invitation letter at hand, said hello to a few people, and asked Lu Ming to take him back to school.

Her headache now is how to get leave tomorrow.

After all, she had taken too many leave recently, so the teacher specifically called her and said that she took leave too frequently, and even the teachers of various subjects had opinions about her.

From now on, unless the sky falls, don't ask her for leave again.

Mu Sheng returned to school with a sad face. After asking Lu Ming to pick her up the next morning, she opened the car door and jumped out to go back to school.

Some students who had no classes outside the school were full of envy when they saw Mu Sheng getting off the bus. There were two versions of the rumors about Mu Sheng at school. Some insisted that Mu Sheng was kept by someone, but most people believed that Mu Sheng came from a relatively wealthy family.

Walking on the campus, people's eyes fell on Mu Sheng from time to time, but no one dared to step forward.

Target Sheng kept thinking about it until he reached the dormitory, but he still couldn't think of a good solution.

On the second day, Mu Sheng went to the teacher to ask for leave. The teacher gave Mu Sheng a serious lecture and said that tomorrow was the day of the college test. She asked her to prepare well for the test and not think about anything else.

Mu Sheng said that she asked for leave because she really had something to do.

The teacher didn't think so. To the teacher, what could a student like Mu Sheng do? Besides, nothing was more important than the exam.

Seeing that he couldn't invite him down, Mu Sheng had to go back.

After thinking for a whole day without any good solution, Mu Sheng had no choice but to escape.

The next day, Mu Sheng did not go to the classroom and left the school directly.

Lu Ming was already waiting outside the school, accompanied by Manager Xu.

Mu Sheng got in the car and the few of them went directly to the address on the invitation letter.

The exhibition was held in a shopping mall. As soon as the car parked, Manager Xu looked at the tall building in front of him and introduced it to Mu Sheng: "The owner of this shop is the daughter of the Zhao family, a leading jewelry company in Linqing City. The Zhao family intends for her to take over the family business, so they sent Zhao Xue, the daughter of the Zhao family, to the shop below to gain experience."

"Since the Zhao family is a long-established enterprise in Linqing City, all large and small enterprises in Linqing City will give face to the Zhao family. So Zhao Xue is rather arrogant and looks down on the small-brand jewelry in Linqing City. She even hates them to get involved." Manager Xu told Mu Sheng the information he had learned.

Lu Ming, who was standing by, also shared his investigation information with Mu Sheng: "Boss, I've checked Director Zhang these days and found that he has a close relationship with the Zhao family. Many of the Zhao family's jewelry appraisals were done by Director Zhang.

"Also, I discovered that Director Zhang was previously just a small clerk in the appraisal institute. He rose through the ranks to become the director after establishing a connection with the Zhao family."

Mu Sheng rested his hand on his chin, watching the cars passing by outside the mall. His expression was serious, and his eyes revealed a bit of coldness. "I can imagine, if it weren't for his involvement with the Zhao family, how could Director Zhang dare to issue a quality inspection report without even testing the Youyu Jade? It seems he has done this kind of thing many times."
