“Similarly, my heart is also very big, very serious, and I do not permit any flaws!
“Everyone, look at me. Please answer me. Did Little Chen promote any products before I came? If she did, everyone, please don’t give her face. Tell me on the spot. I’ll immediately get her to pack her things and leave. If not, I’ll apologize to her.”
“The little girl didn’t say anything. She didn’t sell anything.” An old man who couldn’t stand the sight of Little Chen being wronged helped redress the accusation to prevent Little Chen from losing her job.
Following that, everyone said in unison, “No, Little Chen did not sell anything.”
“Really?” Li Shaocong asked.
“No, the child didn’t say anything,” said an auntie.
After confirming it, Li Shaocong nodded slightly and turned to Little Chen. “Little Chen, sorry.”
Little Chen hurriedly shook her head and said, “General Manager, this is my job.”
Li Shaocong nodded and then said to everyone, “Since there’s no sales, that’s for the best. Perhaps someone will say that this place just sells things to earn money. It’s normal to sell something, right?”
When Li Shaocong said this, he sneered and said, “I’m sorry, you’re talking about those small businessmen. Our Dark Red Jade Limited is a subsidiary of the Top Rainbow Corporation. Our entire group does business in gold, jade, diamonds, and so on. To put it bluntly, and I’m not afraid that everyone thinks that I’m bragging, my daily allowance is seven-digits. Any single business that our company does starts at ten million yuan. As for selling things to you and earning a thousand or tens of thousand yuan is not money to me.
“I don’t care about that bit of money, but I have to upkeep my reputation.”
Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, they had to admit that the other party made sense, so no one retorted.
Li Shaocong continued. “Of course, there’s nothing amazing with empty talk. Anyone can brag. What’s amazing if you walk the talk. Since we’re fated to meet this time, as a junior, I’ll give all of you uncles and aunties a small gift. Everyone gets one!”
With that said, Li Shaocong turned around and said to the man who opened the door, “Little Kang, bring these friends around for a walk. Give each one of them a water-droplet oriental jasper.”
Little Kang hurriedly nodded and took out a notebook. “Alright, General Manager.”
When people heard that he was about to give them gifts, many people smiled. Their vigilance towards Li Shaocong also dropped significantly.
Fangzheng was listening with great interest while Red Boy secretly grumbled. “Can all his wealth buy a single spirit ginseng? How poor…”
Fang Yunjing frowned and did not say a word. Clearly, she did not like the general manager.
With everyone stirring, Li Shaocong said, “This is a small gift for everyone. However, I have an unrequited request. I would like your help.”
When everyone heard that, they immediately became alert.
Li Shaocong was not in a hurry either. He smiled and said, “Guilin is currently trying to rectify the negative aspects of the tourism industry here, such as forced shopping. Having come to our store, I believe all of you can tell that we aren’t getting anyone to buy anything. Therefore, when you leave Guilin, if you meet someone at the railway station or the airport and get asked if you were forced to shop…
“Please put in a good word for our company. Tell them that we don’t engage in any forced shopping. This will be a great help to me, alright?”
“Don’t worry about this matter. No problem.” Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.
Li Shaocong nodded and said, “Alright, that’s great! Since everyone is so straightforward, I can’t be petty. Today, I’ll show everyone around our shop. During the time when the tour guide is signing the documents, I’ll tell everyone something that you can’t learn outside.”
With that said, Li Shaocong signaled for everyone to follow him.
Red Boy scratched his head and whispered, “Master, I still can’t understand what they are up to.”
Fangzheng smiled. “Wouldn’t you know if you follow him?”
Red Boy nodded as he chased after Fangzheng.
When Fang Yunjing saw this, she thought for a moment and followed behind them. At the same time, whenever her beautiful eyes looked at Fangzheng and Red Boy, there would be a baffling look as though she was thinking about something.
After leaving the conference hall, they returned to the corridor and walked down the corridor. They were display cabinets. The exquisite ornaments were placed inside, shining under the light.
As soon as Li Shaocong walked over, all the staff members greeted him respectfully with looks of awe. One look and one could tell how extraordinary Li Shaocong’s position was.
Li Shaocong signaled for everyone to follow him. He passed through one counter after another and entered another smaller room. There was also a counter in the room.
Little Chen hurriedly opened the door for Li Shaocong. Li Shaocong walked in and waved his hand. “It’s too wide outside, so it’s hard to speak there. It’s just nice here, so everyone can hear what I say. Today, I’ll use the time the tour guide is signing the documents to tell everyone something about jade. Brother, why are you standing so far away? Am I scary? Or am I a cannibal? Come closer, or you won’t be able to see anything.”
Fangzheng had been standing a little far, but he never expected to be called out. All he could do was pat Red Boy on the head and walk over.
Li Shaocong acted as if he was afraid of neglecting anyone. One by one, he called out to the tourists who were standing far away.
Seeing that everyone was near him, Li Shaocong clapped his hands. “Everyone, look here.”
Everyone looked in the direction of Li Shaocong’s finger and saw a picture hanging on the wall. On it were two gold medals.
Li Shaoting said, “Can anyone recognize them?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Li Shaocong said, “This is a dragon and phoenix medal. During the 2008 Olympics, our company provided such a gold medal for the Olympics. Therefore, don’t keep thinking that we’ll lie to you and wear those wary expressions on your faces. It’s still the same saying: I, Li Shaocong, am not short of this little money.
“Alright, since everyone is here, let me ask everyone a question. How much do you all know about jade? If you know something, you can raise your hand.”
Everyone at the scene looked at each other blankly—not one raised their hands.
Li Shaocong smiled and said, “Alright, let me give some information. Jades are divided into the soft and hard jade families. Then, come and take a look at the bangles here. Which one do you like?”
Fangzheng took a look and pointed at the white one that looked pretty nice.
Li Shaocong immediately took out the jade bracelet and placed it on the glass. He asked, “Does anyone else like something different?”
With Fangzheng leading the way, the others pointed out the bracelets they liked as well. However, Li Shaocong only took three bracelets before saying, “Which one do you think is more expensive? Which is the best?”
Everyone did not know a thing as they randomly pointed at the white one that Fangzheng had picked.
