Chapter 124: Betray your own people?

As clever as Chu Chu, she immediately understood Ye Bufan’s intention: he was trying to use this as an excuse to slip away.

She chuckled, “Oh, Great Lover, it seems like your life isn’t going so well.

But I really do need to talk to you. Come to our Group’s warehouse; I want to buy those jade roughs from you.”

“Alright, I’ll be right over.”

Ye Bufan hung up the phone and turned to the two women, saying, “I have some things to attend to. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

“Remember, keep your word, or else this young lady won’t be done with you.”

He Shuangshuang finished speaking, got into her Masarati, and drove away.

Gu Qingcheng said, “I also have some things to take care of these next few days. I’ll come find you after I’m done.”

After she finished speaking, she also got into her car, and the worry in Ye Bufan’s heart finally subsided. Being caught between two beautiful women was definitely a painful experience.

He restarted his car and headed towards Qin’s Group’s warehouse.

Even if Chu Chu hadn’t said anything, he wanted to sell these jade roughs. The Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community still had a 300 million chinese yuan funding gap, and selling these roughs would just make up for the insufficient funds.

Qin’s Group’s warehouse was located within their industrial base. It was a large factory building, thousands of square meters in size, used for both storing goods and producing rough stone products.

When Ye Bufan arrived, Chu Chu was already waiting there.

“Xiao Ye, Qin’s Group’s jade sales have been particularly good recently, causing a shortage of Materials, so I want to buy your jade roughs.”

Ye Bufan said, “Okay, I just happen to have a 300 million chinese yuan funding gap. As long as Qin’s Group pays 300 million chinese yuan, these roughs are yours.”

Chu Chu was slightly startled, “300 million chinese yuan? Isn’t that price a bit expensive?”

She knew very well that Ye Bufan had bought these stones for 100 million chinese yuan, and now the price had tripled.

Although their relationship was unusual, as a Vice President, she had to be responsible for the Group’s profits.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “To be honest with you, these jade roughs are worth at least 1 billion chinese yuan once cut. The reason I’m selling them so cheaply to Qin’s Group is entirely because of your Face.”

Every one of his jade roughs contained jade, and they were all the kind that would result in a profit, so the price was naturally different from ordinary jade roughs on the market.

If anyone else had said this, Chu Chu would have scoffed, but she had personally witnessed Ye Bufan’s skill in selecting rough stones, and she deeply believed this claim, immediately saying, “Alright then, I’ll buy them.”

After speaking, she took out her checkbook, wrote a check for 300 million chinese yuan, and handed it to Ye Bufan.

Just then, several cars drove in from outside, and a stretched Rolls-Royce leading the way stopped in front of the two of them.

The car door opened, and an old man in a Tang suit got out, accompanied by a Young man of about 30.

Upon seeing the old man, Chu Chu was slightly surprised, not expecting her Grandfather to come here at this time.

She stepped forward and said, “Grandfather, you’ve arrived.”

The old man was none other than Qin Dongliang, the head of the Qin Family, and the Young man was Qin Guowei, another Vice President of Qin’s Group and Chu Chu’s cousin.

Qin Dongliang was now advanced in age, and there were no outstanding talents among the second generation of the Qin Family, so he placed his hopes on his Grandson and Granddaughter.

Now that Chu Chu and Qin Guowei served as Vice Presidents of the Group, the future President would undoubtedly emerge from among the two of them.

Qin Dongliang nodded, his gaze sweeping over Ye Bufan, assuming this ordinarily dressed Young man was just a factory worker and not paying him any mind.

He said, “I heard that Qin’s Jewelry is experiencing a shortage of Materials, which has affected the Group’s sales, so I came to take a look.”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Chu Chu immediately understood that Qin Guowei must have been gossiping to her Grandfather, slandering her.

Among the third-generation disciples of the Qin Family, the most outstanding were Chu Chu and Qin Guowei, but Qin Guowei was much inferior in comparison. However, as a male member of the Qin Family, he held a certain advantage in terms of status.

“Grandfather, Qin’s Jewelry sales have been particularly good recently, with a sudden increase in sales volume, which is why there’s been a temporary shortage of Materials.

But rest assured, I just bought 300 million chinese yuan worth of jade roughs from Xiao Ye, so the Materials problem will be resolved immediately.”

Chu Chu said, pulling Ye Bufan over and introducing him to Qin Dongliang, “Grandfather, this is my friend Ye Bufan.”

Ye Bufan politely said, “Hello, Old Master!”

“Good Young man.” Qin Dongliang nodded, then said, “Xiao Ye, you have jade roughs?”

Ye Bufan said, “Yes, I have a batch. I just sold them to Chu Chu.”

At this moment, Qin Guowei, who had been standing beside Qin Dongliang, spoke up, “Ye Bufan, right? Are the jade roughs you have from Paradise Club?”

“That’s right.”

Ye Bufan didn’t deny this. The commotion he caused at the rough stone exhibition that day was too great,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

so it was normal for people to know about it.

Qin Guowei’s lips curled into a cold smile: “Then can you tell me how much you paid for this batch of jade roughs at the time?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chu’s expression instantly changed.

It was clear that her cousin knew exactly about Ye Bufan spending 100 million chinese yuan to buy the rough stones, and now he was deliberately asking about it in front of the old man, clearly targeting her again.

Ye Bufan said calmly, “100 million chinese yuan.”

Qin Guowei’s Face first showed a hint of triumph, then his expression changed, and he said sternly, “How dare you! You bought rough stones for 100 million chinese yuan and then turned around and sold them to our Qin’s Group for 300 million chinese yuan. Do you take us for fools or an ATM?”

Turning his head, he said to Qin Dongliang, “Grandfather, from what I know, Chu Chu is dating Ye Bufan. It’s clear they want to use these jade roughs to empty out our Qin’s Group.”

As he spoke, his heart was filled with wild joy. He had only intended to cause Chu Chu a minor inconvenience, but he never expected such a huge unexpected gain.

If Chu Chu’s act of cashing out from Qin’s Group was confirmed, then the next President would undoubtedly be himself.

Sure enough, Qin Dongliang’s expression changed, and a hint of anger appeared on his Face. He said loudly, “Chu Chu, what exactly is going on?”

Before Chu Chu could speak, Qin Guowei followed up, “Chu Chu, you’re too much! Grandfather trusted you so much and put Qin’s Jewelry in your hands, but look at what you’ve done?

You’re actually siphoning funds from our Qin’s Group for the sake of this man—that’s a full 200 million chinese yuan! It’s true that a girl who grows up belongs to someone else, always favoring outsiders. Do you think our Qin’s Group is a bank?”

“Grandfather, these roughs…”

Chu Chu wanted to explain, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to make it clear.

Ye Bufan said these roughs were worth over 1 billion chinese yuan, and she deeply believed it, but how could she make Qin Dongliang believe it?

Seeing that she couldn’t explain clearly, Qin Guowei sneered, “What’s wrong, Chu Chu? Can’t explain it now, can you? You’re so eloquent, I thought you could even make selling out sound like thinking for the Qin Family!”

Chu Chu’s Face was filled with anger. She was about to say something but was pulled behind Ye Bufan.

He took two steps forward and said to Qin Guowei, “You’re right, Chu Chu is indeed thinking for the Qin Family.

These jade roughs of mine are worth at least 1 billion chinese yuan. Buying them for 300 million chinese yuan, the Qin Family is saving at least 700 million chinese yuan.”
