In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

If the sheds couldn't be renovated, repairs were arranged to ensure they wouldn't leak during the typhoon and rainy season. Staff were assigned to regularly ventilate the sheds and sort and dispose of waste. Drinking water filters were added to the sheds to minimize the incidence of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and malaria diseases among the miners.

These were the areas Fu Ziyan had pointed out for improvement during her last inspection with Wilda. Based on today's interviews with the miners, she knew these measures had already been implemented within the past few months.

After completing the routine procedures, Fu Ziyan went to the office area set up next to the jade mining area.

"Miss, this is the mining record and transaction ledger for this month." The speaker is Chen Feiyu, the manager of the jade mine, and still a loyal subordinate who was "gifted" with the APP along with the mine.

Fu Ziyan took the account book and documents, smiled and nodded to comfort her subordinates: "Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, the managers of the mines under her name would submit a financial statement every month, but those were more summary-based. When Fu Ziyan visited the site, the contents of the documents she looked through were more specific.

“This big buyer…”

"Last month at the jadeite rough auction, we..."

Time flew by as questions and answers were asked.

After Fu Ziyan finished communicating with him and handling the work, Chen Feiyu spoke up, "We've recently added a lot of good quality rough stones. Miss, would you like to pick some to cut?"

Fu Ziyan waved her hand and refused: "Just have someone pick a few and untie them. Send them back when they are green."

She had played stone cutting many times before, and it was no longer a novelty for her. Instead of playing stone cutting, she wanted to go home and take a shower and change clothes.

While this office area, decorated with green plants and elegantly simple furnishings, was a world apart from the mine environment, Fu Ziyan, having just spent time in the sandy, dusty mining area, felt completely ingrained in her. She didn't notice it when she was busy, but when she was idle, she couldn't stand it.

She felt uncomfortable all over!

How could the young lady possibly endure such injustice?

It was an hour later when we returned to the manor.

The assistant reminded the manor's servants to prepare all the necessary items in advance. In addition to the rose bath, there was also the juice and milk tea that the eldest lady liked. Fu Ziyan enjoyed a pleasant bath as soon as she got home. The mood that had been a little upset by the sand and dirt was once again brightened up.

As soon as she came downstairs after taking a shower, the housekeeper handed her an invitation letter from Tang Jingyun, the granddaughter of Mr. Li, a Burmese mining tycoon.

Fu Ziyan secretly praised him in her heart, thinking that he was worthy of being the Burmese boss. He knew of her arrival so quickly. She and her father had just arrived the day before yesterday morning!

She raised her hand and opened it, and saw that it was Tang Jingyun inviting her to work at the pearl farm owned by the Li family.

"Miss, are you going?"

Fu Ziyan handed the invitation back and nodded, "Go."

Myanmar is one of the production areas of South Sea gold pearls. Fu Ziyan certainly has no shortage of pearls, but she has rarely experienced opening clams to retrieve pearls. She was interested in this, and when her friend invited her to join in the fun, there was naturally no need for her to refuse.

As to whether there was any other meaning behind this invitation, Fu Ziyan didn't know, but it was probably just that Mr. Li was curious about which industry her father wanted to invest in this time.

It's not a big deal. She doesn't take this little thing seriously.

As soon as Tang Jingyun entered the room, her attention was drawn to Fu Ziyan, who was wearing a snow-red dress and a diamond chain around her waist. She smiled and waved happily at Fu Ziyan: "Yanyan, long time no see~"

Fu Ziyan raised her lips and smiled, then stood up and walked towards her: "It's indeed been a long time. The last time I saw you was last year."

"Did I keep you waiting for a long time? I'm sorry. My cousin just dragged me out to play and I accidentally went overboard." Tang Jingyun looked apologetic.

"No, I just arrived."

This was not out of courtesy. She had just sat down when Tang Jingyun came in.

The atmosphere of their conversation was natural, and there was no sign of the awkwardness of their second meeting.

"Then let's go?" Tang Jingyun tilted her head and smiled sweetly, asking for her opinion. Seeing Fu Ziyan nod, she quickly started enthusiastic chatting mode.

"Yan Yan, your dress looks so beautiful with the diamond necklace!"

"Yan Yan, if you are free later, would you like to go see A Chang, whom I introduced to you last time? A Chang is very well behaved, you can ride it for a few laps!" A Chang is the elephant raised by Tang Jingyun. When Tang Jingyun mentioned A Chang, her eyes lit up, especially the word "well behaved", which could be seen from her eyes that she felt proud and showed off.

Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "It's okay to look at it, but forget about riding it. I also have a baby elephant, and I'll be able to ride it when it grows up."

"Wow, that's great! I'll go see your little elephant next time I get a chance."

"Yan Yan, have you ever opened a pearl? This is my first time..."

Fu Ziyan had a gentle smile on her face and listened quietly.

She didn't notice it the last time they met, but this time, Fu Ziyan discovered that Tang Jingyun was becoming a bit of a chatterbox. She didn't know what she had experienced in the past year.

The two walked out side by side, got into a black car, talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the Li family's pearl farm.

As soon as you enter the door, the damp, salty smell of the pearl farm hits you in the face.

Fu Ziyan frowned subconsciously, and an employee immediately brought her a clean silk mask.

Tang Jingyun's voice rang in her ears: "I just forgot. I should have asked them to bring it to us outside. The smell here is a bit fishy. Yanyan, can you accept it?"

Fu Ziyan shook her mask and smiled gently: "It's okay if you wear a mask."

Tang Jingyun nodded: "Okay, let's quickly select the golden lipped clams we want to open and have them sent to the room over there for opening. There won't be any fishy smell over there."

"Listen to Ayun."

Tang Jingyun was the host, and as a guest, Fu Ziyan naturally had no objection.

Although Tang Jingyun chattered all the way and acted very unsteady, she was still very meticulous in her arrangements. Knowing that Fu Ziyan had little experience in opening pearls, she specially arranged for someone to explain to her some key points in selecting clams: "Ms. Fu, generally speaking, the larger the mother-of-pearl, the more likely the pearl..."

With professionals by her side to give her guidance and to make natural compliments from time to time, Fu Ziyan enjoyed the selection process very much.

When she brought the golden-lipped shell to the room specially arranged for opening shells, Tang Jingyun was already waiting inside.

As soon as he saw her, he waved happily again: "Yan Yan~"

The corners of Fu Ziyan's lips also curled up subconsciously.

"Come on, come on, the moment to witness the miracle has begun~ The probability of golden pearls coming out of the golden-lipped oyster is not high. There is only a 30% to 40% chance of getting deep golden pearls, a 10% to 20% chance of producing white pearls, and the remaining half chance of champagne or milky white. I don't know what color or shape we will get?" Tang Jingyun's eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity.

Influenced by this atmosphere, Fu Ziyan also felt a little bit of anticipation.

Can she produce gold beads?

Will it be round, cut, teardrop-shaped, or Baroque?

Fu Ziyan and Tang Jingyun each had a well-dressed female worker from the pearl farm with them to help open the shells.

The worker, holding a clam knife, expertly cuts along the seam of the shell, leveraging her wrist to pry open the tightly closed shell. Her movements are a smooth, practiced sequence. With a crisp "click," the shell is pried open, and she hands the golden-lipped clam back.

Fu Ziyan opened it and put her fingertips in. Sure enough, she touched a hard object among the smooth shellfish flesh. She picked it up with her fingers and a teardrop-shaped champagne gold pearl rolled out.

Among South Sea gold beads, red gold is the best quality, while champagne gold is only considered ordinary. However, when Fu Ziyan lowered her eyes to look at it, she felt that every part of it was beautiful.

Tang Jingyun leaned over to take a look and said with a smile, "It's champagne gold. Yanyan is lucky to get a gold bead on the first one."

Fu Ziyan tilted her head to look at the pearl she had opened and chuckled in response, "Ayun, this cream-colored one is also very beautiful. It looks like it would be a good centerpiece for a brooch."

After the business exaggeration activity ended, the two continued to open pearls.

There were ten pearls in total. After the champagne gold, Fu Ziyan opened milky white and light gold...until the last two, which unexpectedly opened up in rich red gold color.

What’s even more surprising is that these two red gold beads are not only the same color, but also the same size of 13mm!

Tang Jingyun's eyes widened in surprise, and disbelief escaped from her lips: "Oh my God, Yanyan, how lucky are you? You only opened ten shells and you can make a pair!"

Tang Jingyun had a pearl farm at home, so she knew some basic information. Golden beads of this size were extremely rare, and in order to match them into a pair, it usually took thousands of shells to be opened.

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows, her eyes curved in a smile, and she explained with a Versailles tone, "Maybe this is the good luck bonus during the novice experience period~"

Tang Jingyun was so envious that she took the two golden beads and turned them over and over. "But when I first opened the pearls, I didn't have the good luck bonus that Yanyan has. If I had known that there would be such a good luck bonus during the novice trial period, I should have gone to the temple to pray that day!"

There was regret in her tone, as if she was lamenting why she didn't seize the opportunity to open the pearls the first time.

Naturally, she was not coveting the two golden beads. Given their background, that was nothing. What Tang Jingyun was coveting was Fu Ziyan's luck.

Fu Ziyan was amused by her: "Don't feel sorry, I'll give you half of the novice bonus, and we can each make a pearl ring."

Tang Jingyun's eyes lit up, and she was very interested in the best friend style, but she also knew that it was inappropriate.

She shook her head and refused, "Forget it. I don't dare to take the pearls you opened for the first time. Let's keep them as a souvenir. But we can customize a pair of identical jewelry. Yanyan, tell me your finger size and I'll have it customized."

"it is good."

No matter the reason, if Tang Jingyun wanted to get closer, Fu Ziyan would not refuse. In the business world, more people mean more paths, and she and Tang Jingyun got along very well.

After finishing a very enjoyable game of opening beads, Fu Ziyan took her spoils back to the manor to find her father.

Coincidentally, just as Fu Ziyan arrived home, the sound of brakes of the car that Fu Qiyuan was riding in was heard outside the yard.

Holding the two cleaned gold beads, Fu Ziyan suddenly had an idea and hid behind the door that her father had to pass through, hiding her skirt to avoid being exposed by the wind.

Fu Qiyuan was talking to the housekeeper: "Is the eldest lady back?"

"Yes, the eldest lady just came back from the Li family's pearl farm and seems to be in a good mood."

As he spoke, Fu Qiyuan saw that the door that should have been open to welcome him in was now half-closed. Thinking of what the housekeeper had just said, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to stop the housekeeper from opening the door, and pushed it open himself.

The door was just halfway opened when a figure suddenly jumped out from behind.

It was Ti Ti, with her dark hair, red skirt, and bright eyebrows. Her voice was clear and full of laughter: "Shocked~"

The butler behind him retreated with great tact.

Fu Qiyuan had anticipated this and wasn't frightened. Smiling, he tapped his daughter's forehead with his finger, "Did you have fun today, Ti Ti?"

"I'm so happy. It's a pity that my father is not here and didn't witness my great luck." Fu Ziyan's face was filled with a bright smile, and she chattered about the scene when she was choosing the shells and opening the pearls.

She finished speaking in one breath, and before her father could respond, she spread out her right palm and continued to dub herself.

"Dangdangdang~" Fu Ziyan's face was filled with pride and joy, "These are the pearls I picked out myself!"

Don't mention how proud I am!

Fu Qiyuan picked it up and took a closer look. He knew why his daughter was so happy and said in a coherent way, "Two gold beads of this size were opened. Ti Ti is so lucky."

"Little Pride" raised his chin slightly: "Daddy is lucky too~"

Fu Qiyuan smiled and looked down at his daughter.

"I've decided to give these two to my dad to have a pair of cufflinks customized." Fu Ziyan's eyes sparkled, and her face almost said "I'm awesome."

Fu Qiyuan looked at Ti Ti and was touched by her cuteness. He chuckled, "Then Daddy thanks Ti Ti."

"No thanks~" Fu Ziyan waved her hand generously and blinked at her father. "I'm so good, do you want a reward?"

Yes, yes, right~ Such a smart and cute Ti Ti, so generous to share her good luck with her father, how can there be no reward~

What she wanted was for her father to go out and play with her.

Fu Qiyuan smiled.

As Fu Ziyan expected, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Looking at his daughter's bright eyes, he smiled and added gently, "How about Daddy taking you to an investment meeting tomorrow?"

Fu Ziyan's face suddenly fell.

Bad dad!

He knew that this was not what she wanted to hear, but he just teased her.

Fu Qiyuan's lips curled up.

*

Although Fu Ziyan was unable to go out and play with her father as she had wished, she would not refuse to attend the investment meeting because of the temporary gap.

She is already a mature adult and would not act on impulse, let alone in such an important investment negotiation.

Fu Qiyuan came to Myanmar this time to discuss investment business in Yangon Port.

Myanmar has rich hardwood mineral resources and produces a large amount of rice, as well as tropical medicinal raw materials such as rubber, quinine and cinchona.

Although the equipment at Yangon Port is outdated, it is the largest port in Myanmar and one of the world's major rice export ports. Investing in this port will be beneficial to the development of the group's port business.

The Fu family intends to take over the Port of Yangon, but given Myanmar's current situation, if they want to take over this port, they can only negotiate cooperative development with the Myanmar government.
