Chapter 12: Make a Decision
He Haoyue made a phone call to Ma Ruozhu, and Ma Ruozhu was socializing.
In the resplendent hotel, there are jewelers from all over the country. This is an annual jewellery showcase, which is attended by jewellers from all over the world with their own treasures.
Tonight is a reception banquet, and it is also a banquet to get to know each other, and exchange ideas about what rare treasures each family has brought.
Ma Ruozhu took a glass of red wine from the hand of the waiter passing by, held it up to a middle-aged man, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, what jade did you bring this time that shocked the audience?"
The man humbly said: "In front of your director Ma's beautiful jade, how dare I call a country thing?"
Ma Ruozhu replied: "Don't be self-conscious, your family has always been famous for its whole jade carving ornaments, and my small pendants are the things of the countryside."
Mr. Li smiled, clinked glasses with Ma Ruozhu, and glanced at Ma Ruozhu appreciatively. This legendary woman in the jade world, although she is not tall, is decisive and resolute, and she is really afraid to look down on her.
Jiang Chengyan came to her side with Ma Ruozhu's mobile phone and said, "It was He Haoyue calling."
"Oh", Ma Ruozhu took it, said to Mr. Li, "Lost company", and then turned around and left the party hall.
Jiang Chengyan smiled at Mr. Li gentlemanly and said, "Mr. Li, please do it."
"Okay", Mr. Li responded, and Jiang Chengyan turned around to chase Ma Ruozhu. Ma Ruozhu was talking to He Haoyue on the phone, and his hand was naturally on Ma Ruozhu's thin shoulder.
The two men went out the back door of the hall and came to the railing, which was quiet, but the night wind was a little stronger.
Ma Ruozhu finished talking to He Haoyue on the phone, and after hanging up, he said to Jiang Chengyan: "I have to go back tomorrow, you help me book the earliest plane ticket."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chengyan saw Ma Ruozhu shrinking his shoulders and hugging his arms, and quickly took off his coat and put it on for her. Ma Ruozhu said gratefully: "Thank you."
Jiang Chengyan asked, "What did He Haoyue tell you?"
"Yangyang", Ma Ruozhu replied: "Yueyue said that my son has recently fallen out of love and can't be happy for a while, let me go back and see."
Jiang Chengyan nodded, and then said: "However, this is an annual event, you can buy a large number of treasures, and you can also sell the jade bracelet in our hands at a high price, the opportunity is rare, you just give up, isn't it a pity."
Ma Ruozhu sighed and said, "Over the years, I have been busy with business and running around, and I have never cared about my son. Today He Haoyue told me that Yangyang was depressed because of the loss of love, and I found out that my son was already in love, and I missed so much of my son's growth."
Jiang Chengyan couldn't say anything, so he had to listen, Ma Ruozhu said: "No matter what I can do this time, I will give up, my son is more important than anything else."
Then, he firmly said to Jiang Chengyan: "You can book a ticket for me, and I will go back early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Chengyan nodded, replied: "Okay", and then asked Ma Ruozhu: "Ruozhu, am I never as important as Yangyang?"
Jiang Chengyan's words stopped Ma Ruozhu, Ma Ruozhu was stunned for a moment, she had never been so compared, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Don't tell me the answer, I hope you never tell me the answer", Jiang Chengyan's hand pressed Ma Ruozhu's red lips.
Ma Ruozhu took his hand away and replied: "Chengyan, don't think so, I have never compared you with Yangyang, you think too much."
Jiang Chengyan smiled and said, "I'm kidding, okay, I'll ask the assistant to book a ticket for you, you go in quickly, it's cool here."
"Hmm", Ma Ruozhu agreed, and hurried into the door.
Jiang Chengyan looked at Ma Ruozhu's back, and said affectionately and in frustration: "Ruozhu, you have always refused to face your heart, and you don't want to admit it. In your heart, I will never be as good as your son."
Ma Ruozhu gave up her excellent business for Sima Shu, leaving Jiang Chengyan to deal with it alone, and she resolutely flew back. This is in line with her usual style, and she has never been indecisive in the business field, as long as she fancies the jade, no matter what the price, she will definitely make a decision to buy the collection.
Over the years, the jade jewelry in her hand has increased in value, and she has become the most valuable woman in the jade jewelry industry.
Jiang Chengyan has been by her side all these years, how could he not understand her temperament, so he will not stop her from leaving.
Besides, he also knew that he could not stop it.
Sima Shu was in a bad mood, and after Zhou Yao was busy with the audit, the pain of breaking up had been reduced by seven or eight points. In addition, Lu Qi'an and Huang Jingcan accompanied her to see the Yellow River, and her mood was much broader.
Although she hasn't completely let go of Sima Shu now, she is not as worried as Sima Shu.
Lu Qi'an looked at Zhou Jin, who had recovered as before, and commented on Huang Jingcan: "I can afford to put it down, Zhou Jin is the most open-minded woman, I can't even sigh to myself"!
However, when eating with her mother at noon, Han Hongmei mentioned Sima Shu: "Sima Shu seems to have not come to our house for a long time."
Zhou Jin's hand about to pick up vegetables paused, this is a thorn in the heart, mother mentioned, Zhou Jin's heart hurt sharply. In order not to let her mother find out and worry, Zhou Yao had to continue to pick up vegetables, pretending that nothing had happened.
"He's very busy," Zhou Jin replied, suppressing his desire to cry.
Han Hongmei said: "I know he is very busy, but on weekends, I call him to eat, and recently I learned to make pork ribs and glutinous rice, let him try it."
"Hmm", Zhou Yao agreed, didn't dare to raise his head, and struggled to stuff shredded radish into his mouth.
After eating, Zhou Jin didn't want to take a lunch break, she couldn't sleep. So I decided to go to the office and read a book to relieve my sadness.
She carried her bag, and after leaving the gate of the community with her head down, she saw some people surrounding the opposite road. Zhou Jin didn't know what was going on, and from the gap in the crowd, he seemed to see someone sitting on the ground, covering his ankles.
Could it be that you sprained your ankle?
Zhou Jin decided to go over and take a look, she came to the back of the crowd, squeezed to the front, and saw clearly. It turned out to be a white-haired old lady, who was holding her ankles and "ouching".
Zhou Jin understood that it was too painful after an acute sprain, resulting in inability to stand.
The people around suggested that the old lady should go to the hospital quickly, or call the family. The old lady said, "I forgot to bring my mobile phone when I came out, and I didn't remember my family's phone number."
One person said: "Don't care, no one comes to her family, she's so old, let's take her to the hospital, if something happens along the way, we can't take responsibility."
"Yes, we have no heart", someone responded, saying, "Let's go, let's go to work".
Most of the onlookers dispersed, leaving a few to watch the excitement, and Zhou Yao didn't dare to take the old lady to the hospital, she was also as worried as everyone else.
However, she asked the old lady: "Grandma, why don't I call the emergency room and let the hospital ambulance take you to the hospital."
The old lady replied: "It's okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, girl."
Zhou Jin said, "You're welcome," and then took out the phone and made a call to the emergency department. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yao said to the old lady: "Grandma, I told my colleague, you can wait here with peace of mind, and the ambulance from our hospital will come in a while."
"Good, good", the old lady thanked her and said, "Thank you, child".
Zhou Yao replied: "You are too polite", and then helped the old lady and said: "Grandma, the ground is too cold, or I will help you to sit on the chair."
