“Found it!” Xia Weilan’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the corner of the box.

Mo Beichen reached out his hand and retrieved the box. They exited the cave.

After opening the box, Xia Weilan couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Inside the box was some ancient porcelain. Although they were valuable, they were usually seen during an auction.

“I thought it would be a box of silvers and gold! I didn’t expect to find a few old bottles.”

“If I’m not mistaken, these few old bottles were really old and well preserved. They are estimated to be worth 100 million dollars.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Weilan’s eyes widened and realized that she had been a little ignorant.

It was another wading trip down the hills before returning to the hotel.

When Xia Weilan was back in the room, she quickly rushed into the bathroom and cleaned herself up. When she came out, Mo Beichen had already bathed in another bathroom, and was buttoning the buttons on the sleeves of his white shirt..

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Xia Weilan opened the door.

Several bodyguards in black stood outside the door surrounding a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.

“Come in.” Xia Weilan led them into the living room and stopped in front of the coffee table. On top of the table was the box that they just brought back.

“These are the porcelains I’m talking about. You can take them away after you’re done inspecting them,” said Xia Weilan.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man put on his gloves from his pocket. He opened the box and carefully inspected them one by one. He closed the box and took out a document and handed it to Xia Weilan.

“Miss Xia , we’re truly grateful for your support to the charity. This is the proof of your donation. We follow-up with the donation process and provide a detailed report to you.”

Xia Weilan didn’t expect that the person would handle this in such a professional manner. This put her at ease. As expected, it was a charity group under Mo Beichen. She nodded towards the person.

After the group of people left with the boxes, Xia Weilan returned to the inner room and said to Mo Beichen, “Hubby, how did you find these people? They are all very reliable individuals. But they are a bit rigid and serious. Just like you.”

Initially, Mo Beichen had wanted to access the efficiency of his subordinates. So, he chose to step aside and be a spectator. After listening to Xia Weilan’s comment, he nodded in agreement, “You’re right. This is the quality that I’m looking for when I recruit my employees.”

Meanwhile in Beijing, in the office of Xia Corps chairman, Xia Ruolin was standing in front of Old Master Xia, trying hard to show her good side.

“Grandpa, just leave this to me. I promise you that you’ll be satisfied.”

Xia Ruolin heard that the company intends to collaborate with a foreign company- Z Jewellery Group. She wanted to take on this big order since Old Master Xia hadn’t decided who to assign the order to yet.

Xia Ruolin thought, once she gained an important position in the Xia family, Xia Weilan would die from vomiting blood when she came back from her honeymoon trip. When her foundation was strong enough and she performed meritorious service, her power in the company would rise.

As for Xia Weilan, she would be nothing but a designer.

Xia Ruolin smiled when she thought of all these. “Grandpa, I wish to train myself by learning through experience.”

Old Master Xia was pestered by Xia Roulin for almost half an hour. No matter what the Old Master said, Xia Roulin simply refused to listen and insisted on taking on this project.

“Girl, you’re still lacking in experience. Moreover, collaborating with a foreign country is not as simple as you think, you…”

“Grandpa, my dearest grandpa. Did you forget that I still have my dad to help me? Just trust me.” Xia Ruolin coaxed and pestered him. Her coquettish acts made the secretary who stood on the side frowned and turned away to look out the window.

“Okay, okay. You can give it a try.” Old man Xia had no choice but to agree.

After Xia Ruolin left, the secretary said helplessly, “Chairman, this is ridiculous. Even Manager Xue may not be able to do this by himself. Z Jewelry Company is well-known for their high vision and they had never collaborated with any company in the country.”

“I know, but she seems so motivated. She’ll come back when she hits the wall.” Old Master Xia shook his head.

As soon as Xia Ruolin walked out of the chairman’s office, she immediately made a call. “Hello? Are you free? Let’s meet up at the cafe…”

Xia Ruolin left the Xia Corp in high spirits and headed towards a nearby cafe. Because Ouyang Mingqi had mentioned previously that he would help her, it gave her the courage to take on the big project. She was very ambitious and she intended to gain a foothold in the Xia Corps in one shot.

“What? You wanted to approach Z Jewellery Company to propose a collaboration with them?” Ouyang Mingqi was a little shocked. That company was a company he had never dared to dream about. He didn’t expect Xia Ruolin to have such a big ambition.

“Yes. Didn’t you say that you are willing to help me?” Xia Ruolin put down the cup heavily and stared sharply at Ouyang Mingqi. She assumed that someone as gentle as Ouyang Mingqi must be a pushover that is easy to handle.

Ouyang Mingqi’s eyes flashed and he immediately put on a smile: “Young Miss, I hold on to my words.”

“Humph!” Xia Ruolin expression eased a little and she continued,

“Then help me to contact the person in charge of the Z Jewellery Company., I want to meet him.”

Ouyang Mingqi was stunned. It’s easier if it was a company within the country. But to contact a foreign company, furthermore the legendary and talented person in charge of the Z Jewelry Company, was not something that he could do within a day or two.

“Why? You don’t have a clue?” Xia Ruolin’s expression was cold, “You said you wanted to help me bring down Xia Weilan. If I don’t seize the opportunity while Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen are away, I’ll really be handing the Xia family to someone else’s hands.”

“Okay, I’ll figure it out.” Ouyang Mingqi clenched his teeth.

Xia Ruolin’s eyes flashed with happiness. She stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ouyang Mingqi.

“Happy cooperation!”

“By the way, I wanted Xia Weilan to withdraw from the Xia family. Why are you willing to help me?” Xia Ruolin asked suddenly.

“Well, my objective is the same as yours.” Ouyang Mingqi looked indifferent. He gently shook the glass in his hand. “Xia Weilan is insensitive and she has offended me.”

“I see. I’ve heard a lot of such things. Xia Weilan is undiscriminating. I heard that you’d saved her, and she repaid you with ingratitude!” Xia Ruolin smiled disdainfully as she made that sarcastic statement.

Ouyang Mingqi heard her, but he remained silent. Dark glows hid inside his pupils, making them appear extremely treacherous.

“That kind of girl had no sense of measure at all compared to you, Ruolin.”

He called her Ruolin, with a sense of getting close to her. Xia Ruolin felt annoyed, but she responded with a smile.

Since they are collaborating with each other, she’ll have to compromise.

Over the next few days, Ouyang Mingqi used all the connections he had and managed to set things up with the manager of Z Jewelry Company. This gave Xia Ruolin a chance to meet with the person in charge.

Meanwhile, Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan to another country to attend an overseas drinking party with her.
