180 A Sentence with Double Meaning
Wu Min heard the double meaning in Vivian’s words. She raised her eyebrows and did not continue Vivian’s words. “I didn’t expect Miss Vivian to be so capable at such a young age. It’s your first time in Mandhesi, and you’ve already established the jewelry club. I’m quite impressed.”
Vivian helplessly smiled and said, “Mr. Wu, I was forced to do this. I’m not good at identifying raw jadeite, so I can only communicate with experienced Jewelers in this way.”
Some words were meaningless once they were explained. The two of them were smiling and the atmosphere was peaceful, but underneath it, they were trying to pull each other through words.
After two rounds of testing, Wu Min had already seen that Vivian’s ability was far beyond what she should have at her age. He put away her contempt for Vivian because of her young and beautiful appearance. “It’s good to communicate more. You have a deep knowledge of Jade. Miss Vivian is committed to promoting all kinds of knowledge about raw Jade for free. I admire your pattern. You’re so generous to teach your competitor.”
Vivian’s smile was bright as if she didn’t understand Wu Min’s teasing. She said humbly, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wu. Actually, I’m not as selfless as you make me out to be. I also have times when I’m petty and vengeful.”
Vivian was almost telling Wu Min that it would not be easy for her to be scammed by them.
Wu Min understood what she meant and did not rush to answer. When he saw the waiter bring Vivian’s coffee to the table, he smiled and said, “Miss Vivian, try our coffee. See if you’re used to the taste.”
“Actually, I have a small suggestion. This industry is neither big nor small. If you’re the only one who can identify it, I believe your company’s competitiveness will be greatly improved! It’s the most important thing for a newly established company to gain a firm foothold in this industry.”
Wu Min wanted to use Vivian to divide the cohesion of the club. As long as the founder had selfish motives, the club would not be far from disbanding. He was willing to take a step back and sacrifice the small to protect the big.
Vivian asked calmly, “I’m the only one who can identify it? Could it be that Mr. Wu has some secret to impart to us?”
Wu Min saw that Vivian was about to give in and replied, “There’s no secret, but as long as you agree, your jewelry company will not receive any raw stones that you don’t want.”
“That’s hard to say,” Vivian said in disbelief. “As far as I know, there are many groups in Mandhesi. Each group’s appraisal method must be different.”
Wu Min smiled faintly and said with a hint of disdain, “Those people only dare to target inexperienced people. I’m different from them. They’re lone wolves and won’t go far. Besides, we have the final say in the Mandhesi trading center.”
They were all counterfeits, but their strength was also different. Wu Min was the strongest group of people. The other counterfeits groups and individuals were sensible and did not enter the trading market to seize the territory.
Although Wu Min came from the North, he had connections with the military and police here. Otherwise, he would not have dared to bring a team to Mandhesi.
Hearing this, Vivian felt more confident. She lowered her eyes and slowly sipped her coffee. After a while, she said, “What if I don’t agree?”
Wu Min picked up the cup and blew it on the surface of the milk tea, trying to blow away some of the steam. He said casually, “Then I can also invite Miss Vivian to have dinner here,”
“By the way, this teahouse is open 24 hours a day. You can have supper if you want. I’ve been very free recently, and I can do my part as a host for Miss Vivian.”
When Andy and the others heard Wu Min’s words, they immediately became more vigilant. Andy stared at Wu Min and took a few steps forward to get close to Vivian. The rest of them immediately looked at the people around them to prevent any abnormal movements from moving them away immediately.
As soon as Andy and the others moved, the people from the M Country at the tables next to them also stood up.
Vivian sneered. “It seems that Mr. Wu wants to compare the combat power of my subordinates with me.”
Wu Min shook her head. “I’m sincere in talking about cooperation with you, but if you insist on destroying my job, then I’ll have no choice but to show up.”
When Vivian was in a good mood, she could be persuaded by reason but not by force. When she was in a bad mood, she would not be persuaded by force. “Mr. Wu, are you trying to cause a diplomatic incident?”
Since Wu Min dared to do this, he naturally had a backup plan. He smiled calmly and said, “I don’t have that ability. If you’re not satisfied with this place and want to eat somewhere else, I’ll cooperate with you.”
