178 Had to Keep it A Secret

Vivian calculated the time. It was about seven o’clock in China, so she immediately called back.

The phone rang once, and the call was connected.

Leon’s helpless voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mom.”

Vivian laughed dryly and coaxed, “Big Baby, I’m sorry. Mommy didn’t do it on purpose.”

“It’s okay,” sighed Leon. “I just hope you can rest early. What time did you sleep last night?”

Vivian blinked twice. She felt a little guilty when she thought of her promise to Leon to take care of herself. She blurted out a fake time. “Around 1 o’clock. I had some insomnia last night.”

Leon was stunned for a moment, then he rubbed his forehead and asked, “Are you sure it’s at one?”

When Vivian heard this, she knew that something was wrong. She put aside the question of time and explained, “Yesterday was a special case. It won’t happen again.”

Leon furrowed his brows and said worriedly, “Mom, you have to remember that you’re pregnant. You can’t be too tired, or it’ll affect your body.”

Vivian agreed with a good attitude. “Yes, yes, yes. There won’t be a next time.”

After a few words of warning, Leon asked, “Did you just get up? Have you eaten?”

Vivian adjusted the collar of her nightgown, got out of bed, and left the room. “I’m going to eat now.”

Upon seeing this, Leon hurriedly asked Vivian to eat first. The two of them exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.

When Fanny saw Vivian leave the room, she quickly put the warm millet porridge and sandwich on the table, as well as a fruit and vegetable salad.

After Vivian hung up, Fanny carefully glanced at Vivian. “Miss, the Young Master called our suite this morning because he couldn’t get through to you. At first, I only said that you might be too tired and didn’t wake up, but who knew that you would receive another call at just twelve in the afternoon?”

“That excuse wouldn’t work. The Young Master used the time to reverse and estimated that you would go to bed at three or four o’clock, so I had to admit it.”

Vivian didn’t come home so late last night, and she was pregnant. As a nanny, Fanny naturally didn’t dare to sleep, so she remembered Vivian’s schedule very clearly. She knew that Leon wasn’t easy to fool, so she told him what had happened last night.

Vivian thought of how her butler-like son also knew that Fanny was in a difficult position, so she patted Fanny’s shoulder empathetically.

But she had to keep it a secret. Vivian looked at Fanny and encouraged her, “Fanny, improve your language skills and learn how to use the charm of language to maintain the harmony of the family.”

The application and charm of language? Maintain family harmony?

Fanny was dumbfounded. She only realized Vivian was telling her how to lie without being found out by Leon when she turned around and started eating.

Fanny was speechless. A high-paying job wasn’t easy.

After eating, Vivian set off to the Mandhesi trading center. When she arrived, Jobs was already sitting at the stall and collecting the goods.

The club’s preparations were planned to be completed within a week. After all, everyone’s time was limited, and they had to rush back to China after receiving the goods.

The search for the venue and the application of the relevant documents were handled by Lex. After all, he had accumulated more than 20 years of connections and had some relationships with many government forces.

Jeremy was in charge of recruitment, while Vivian was in charge of improving the club’s management system and temporarily acting as a cashier to collect membership fees. Some members were in a hurry to return home to deal with business, so they were in a hurry to pay their membership fees. After leaving the company’s contact information in the prepared member register, they returned home to wait for the news after the club was established.

The tent where Gold and Jade Jewelry received their goods became the club’s temporary office.

The businessmen who joined the club were basically the ones who had attended the meeting last night. There were people from all countries. In fact, there were far more than 122 foreign businessmen in the trading center, but they were still waiting and watching. Many of them also came to ask Vivian about the club’s situation, but only two companies joined in the end.

Vivian was not in a hurry to expand the club. As long as she did well, she was not afraid of not having enough members. So, she answered all the questions and did not intend to get people to do publicity.

There was a huge turnover of staff in the Jade trading market. Every day, there would be new people coming and going. Therefore, the dozen young men hired yesterday were still holding signs to promote how to differentiate counterfeit raw stones everywhere in the market. In order to increase the intensity, they even sent two people to hold the signs at the main entrance so everyone could see them as soon as they entered the door.
