176 A Step Too Late

Vivian had taken off her mask when she left the Jade Trade Center. If it wasn’t for Vivian’s hair and clothes, and the fact that she was pregnant, Jeremy wouldn’t have recognized her at once.

When he saw Vivian’s delicate face with a hint of fierce beauty, Jeremy felt like he had been shot by the God of love, Cupid, and was stunned.

Jobs coughed lightly when he saw this, and Jeremy came back to his senses. Vivian deliberately touched her stomach and waist in front of him. These two actions brought Jeremy back to reality, and he said to Vivian with a face full of regret, “Unfortunately, I’m still a step too late.”

Vivian pursed her lips and smiled. She didn’t explain. It was best if everyone thought that she was married so it wouldn’t be troublesome to reject them one by one. It couldn’t be helped. She was born beautiful!

At 8 o’clock, almost everyone had arrived. At the Jade Trade Fair, they could only see Vivian’s eyes and eyebrows, but now they were surprised to see her full face.

Because of her pregnancy, everyone assumed Vivian was married. Although they were curious why her husband would let such a young and beautiful woman be pregnant and run out to do business alone, they did not ask too much, considering that it was a private issue.

In the middle of the meeting room was a super large round table. There were a total of 178 people, and one circle could accommodate 70 people. Everyone consciously sat in two circles.

Those who had stayed in M Country for a long time had much experience and were more powerful in the jewelry industry sat at the first table. Vivian was an exception. Because she was the organizer and paid for it, she sat at the first table, Jobs sat at the second table.

There were 122 jewelry companies, ranging from small to large.

As the organizer, Vivian was the first to speak.

Vivian adjusted the microphone in front of her to a suitable height, coughed a few times to adjust the microphone’s sound, and began to speak. “Hello, everyone. It’s fate that brought us together in a foreign country. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Vivian, the boss of Gold and Jade Jewelry. Everyone in the meeting room now should know our company’s appraisal expert was cheated by someone with the latest counterfeit method yesterday.”

“I’m not afraid of losing face. This kind of fraud is extremely dirty and has led the entire industry astray. I’m not afraid to expose my family’s dirty laundry, which is also the reason why I want to form a club.”

“There are only two types of people in M Country, the locals, and the foreigners. They’ve automatically divided us into two groups. One person’s strength is ultimately limited. Since they want to divide us in this way, why don’t we stick together? This is the reason why I’ve invited everyone here today. I hope that everyone can express their opinions.”

Vivian looked young, but her calm, simple, and straightforward speech made everyone return to the scene in the afternoon when she faced the management of the trading market. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and her powerful refutation and confession scene were no longer underestimated because of her age and beauty.

After the opening speech, everyone applauded.

Then, a man in his fifties with a full beard turned on the microphone on the table and said, “Good evening, everyone. My name is Lex. First of all, I would like to thank Miss Vivian. It is because of her funding that we have the opportunity to sit together tonight. I’m a thick-skinned person, and those who are familiar with me should know that. So, I won’t be polite and will take the second place to speak.”

When everyone heard Lex’s speech, they gave a kind cheer and applause.

After the welcoming voices died down, Lex continued to smile and say, “Let me make a statement first. I support such a club. What Miss Vivian said just now was very good, but it’s easier said than done.”

“I saw what happened this afternoon, so I’ve been thinking about what to do if our times don’t match. Who had the time to manage it? Everyone only comes here for ten days to half a month every year. There are even shorter ones. Anyway, there are all kinds of problems. I’m old and my brain is useless. I can’t think of so many things. Why don’t we list out the difficulties first and then we can see if we can solve them together?”

Lex was a self-made entrepreneur. He and his wife ran a large and medium-sized jewelry chain called Rose. He studied jewelry design after he was admitted to University at the age of 18. Then, he entered a large jewelry store as a designer and met his colleague’s wife. After a few years of work, they left together and created the Rose brand.
