No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

“Come on, repeat what you just said.” In front of Zhou Yan, Jiang Hua took out her phone from her bag and started recording. “Go on, why are you stopping? You were so talkative just now.”

Jiang Hua lowered her eyes and looked at her with disdain, "Are you mute?"

Zhou Yan's face showed a momentary embarrassment, but her strong mental fortitude allowed her to maintain a smile as much as possible. "Did I just say something wrong?"

"Miss Jiang, don't think you can threaten me with such methods."

Why does this person speak in the same tone as that country bumpkin?

Jiang Hua knew that Zhou Yan was also a shrewd person; if she actually said it, then she would be truly stupid.

It was indeed a bit boring to be an opponent like this. Jiang Hua put her phone away, bored. "Threaten you? You don't deserve it. You're just a designer working for King Group. To put it nicely, you're a jewelry designer who bullies others; to put it bluntly, you're just a nine-to-five worker who often works overtime. Your annual salary is at most a million." Jiang Hua crossed her arms and stepped forward, pressing closer. Zhou Yan didn't move. The two were evenly matched in terms of aura, the only difference being the height advantage.

"...This million dollars can't even buy me a pair of high heels. You're just a designer with no background or connections. Where do you get the confidence to point fingers and criticize me like this?"

"Don't forget, you were fired by the Jiang family. If I expose all your past misdeeds to your current company, how long do you think you can stay at King Group?"

"Your Jiang family... really does like threatening people as always. But unfortunately, with your methods, you can't threaten me at all."

"Since you're not a threat, what are you afraid of in your eyes?" Jiang Hua reached out and smoothed out the wrinkles in Zhou Yan's clothes on her shoulder. "No matter what, you're a well-known jewelry designer. You should pay more attention to your appearance... This outfit you're wearing is already outdated from two years ago. You should take better care of yourself. You bumpkin!"

Zhou Yan, "You!"

Jiang Hua raised her two delicate, arched eyebrows, her eyes full of provocation.

Seeing the professor approaching from a distance, Jiang Hua sheathed her thorns. "If you're ugly, don't blame others for being naturally beautiful!" She turned and walked away, casually remarking, "Go get some beauty treatments when you have time, Auntie. It's not your fault you're ugly, but it's wrong of you to go out and scare people."

Zhou Yan gritted her teeth and said to her, "Jiang Hua! Let's see how long you can be so smug."

As soon as Jiang Hua sat down, Professor Guo handed her the exam paper. "I just saw you chatting with Zhou Yan. Now you're interested in design? Want to ask her for advice?"

Jiang Hua crossed her legs, holding a black pen in her hand. "Teacher, did you think I looked like I was challenging her for knowledge just now?"

“She has provoked me time and time again, and I’m already being lenient by not hitting her.”

Guo Youcai held a thermos in his other hand. "Because of the Jiang family's matter?"

"There's no need to pay attention to this kind of person. This Zhou Yan is superficial and impatient, and her qualifications are still shallow. With her character, she can't support her current position. She will definitely suffer the consequences in the future. Remember to think twice before you do anything in the future."

After leaving a message that Jiang Hua should take the open-book exam, the professor left.

Jiang Hua glanced at the test paper and found that it contained mostly obscure multiple-choice questions that weren't in the textbook. They were simply about the order in which jewelry appeared, the cutting techniques, the different types of jewelry, and the places where they were discovered.

This last one is one that very few people could answer if they didn't have a deep understanding of jewelry.

Unfortunately, all the jewelry sets that were on the exam were in Jiang Hua's possession...

Jiang Hua finished the exam in half an hour, which was supposed to be an hour and a half long.

Seeing that there was still some free time, I got up and went to the workbench to continue working on my own tasks.

However, she will probably have to go back to the company. The jewelry she is repairing is missing a few small diamonds, and the materials she needs are not available in the control room.

After tidying up the workbench, Jiang Hua handed the test paper to Professor Guo and left.

Guo Youcai didn't stop him. The only student left, and he finished his get out of class.

Jiang Hua went straight to the president's office when she arrived at the company. Jiang Weiguo was in a meeting in the conference room.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting ended, and then an angry voice could be heard.

Jiang Weiguo: "In just a few short years, they've stopped taking me seriously. Has time passed and they've forgotten what kind of company this is?"

"Tell those partners, if they want to terminate the contract, then terminate it!"

Zuo Xiangnan said, "Chairman Jiang, I think we should think twice before acting. In the past, President Pei personally handled the handover and negotiated prices with the overseas diamond raw material suppliers. It is normal for prices to fluctuate and increase now."

"If we rashly cancel the cooperation now, it will be difficult to find a new supplier in a short period of time."

Jiang Weiguo was also having a headache. Jiang's diamond jewelry raw materials had always been supplied by a supplier in South Africa, but now, because of Pei Zhan's departure, the supplier had no intention of cooperating with Jiang's anymore. If the raw materials were cut off, the orders for several sets of jewelry from customers would be delayed.

"I'll contact the person in charge right now and arrange a dinner tonight. I'll talk to them personally."

Zuo Xiangnan: "It's Chairman Jiang."

The moment the office door opened, I saw Jiang Hua sitting slouching on the sofa, playing on her phone.

The two were somewhat surprised.

Jiang Weiguo: "Huahua? When did you arrive? You didn't even say hello to your father."

Jiang Hua said, "I just arrived. Dad, I'm still missing some materials. I'd like to go to the warehouse to select some suitable materials."

Without a second thought, Jiang Weiguo immediately instructed Zuo Xiangnan, "Xiangnan, take Huahua to the warehouse and take a look."

Zuo Xiangnan: "It's Chairman Jiang."

This warehouse is heavily guarded, and not just anyone is qualified to enter. Even if someone wants to enter, they need to submit a report and apply for permission. Only after the bank approves the application will they open the door and send someone to retrieve the materials.

Some of the valuable diamonds and gems are stored in the bank's warehouse.

Zuo Xiangnan drove Jiang Hua to the largest bank in the capital, which they were cooperating with.

This bank was opened by the Shen family, though it's not exactly the same as the Shen grandmother's family business. The Shen and Jiang families have been cooperating for decades, and the maternal grandmother and the Shen grandmother were old acquaintances. In short, they were practically family friends.

Jiang Hua sat in the passenger seat, and the air was filled with a quiet atmosphere.

Upon arrival, Jiang Hua registered her fingerprints and underwent iris recognition. Only after the bank's management personnel opened the warehouse did Jiang Hua go in alone to find the materials.

Blood-red diamonds the size of pigeon eggs, along with various rare treasures worth tens or hundreds of millions, were carelessly left lying around by Jiang Hua as if they were worthless. People watching the surveillance cameras outside felt terrified.

Just then, Zuo Xiangnan took out his phone, snapped a picture of the woman in the surveillance footage, and sent it in encrypted form to a contact…
