Chapter 17

"Pretty good, right? Uncle, these diamonds are quite nice, aren't they?" Wang Qiang looked at Wang Haiming's shocked expression and immediately laughed smugly.

"Great! Great! Absolutely great!" Wang Haiming looked at the diamonds in the bag with his eyes shining.

"Uncle, can our company buy these diamonds?" Wang Qiang asked with a smile.

"Buy! Of course, we'll buy them, and we'll buy as many as you have!" Wang Haiming said without hesitation.

"Hehe, that's great! I promised my friend that we would buy them at a high price!" Wang Qiang winked at He Dong.

"Qiangqiang, does your friend have a lot of such diamonds?" Wang Haiming asked excitedly.

"I don't know, but you can ask him yourself! This is my good friend, He Dong!" Wang Qiang said, pushing He Dong forward.

"Uncle, hello!" He Dong greeted Wang Haiming politely.

"Good, good, He Dong. Since you and Qiangqiang are brothers, we're not outsiders. Uncle won't hide anything from you. Recently, I've been in urgent need of high-quality diamonds, so I want to know, where did you get these diamonds?" Wang Haiming looked at He Dong with an eager expression, like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline.

"Uncle, I promised someone that I wouldn't reveal the source of these diamonds, but if Uncle needs them, I can still help you get some!" He Dong said after some thought.

"Really? You can still get such high-quality diamonds?" Wang Haiming asked in pleasant surprise.

"Yes!" He Dong said very firmly.

"Great! Great!" Wang Haiming was so excited that his palms started to sweat.

If what He Dong said was true, the crisis at Wang's Jewelry would be over. As long as he could free up his hands, with the Wang family's connections, he could quickly find new suppliers. So Wang Haiming looked at He Dong with a grateful and eager gaze.

Although Wang Qiang didn't understand why his uncle was so excited, he knew that his uncle was definitely very satisfied with his matchmaking, so he felt happy too.

When He Dong walked out of the Wang Building, he felt as if he were walking on clouds, his legs feeling weak, and he felt the weight in his pocket, which now contained a bank card.

After professional appraisal, the diamonds He Dong brought were all of the highest 4C standards. In the end, the sixteen top-grade diamonds brought He Dong 18 million yuan. Especially the largest diamond, for which Wang Haiming offered He Dong 10 million yuan.

Becoming a millionaire in the blink of an eye made He Dong feel as if he were dreaming. He didn't even know how he left the Wang Building. It wasn't until Wang Qiang pulled him and shouted that he wanted to eat a big meal that he slowly came to his senses.

With money, He Dong immediately started planning his pet hospital. First, he needed to find a location. Since he was still in school, the pet hospital couldn't be too far from Tianyang University.

However, sometimes ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. He Dong wandered around for five or six days, and although he found a few places he liked, none of them worked out for various reasons.

It was the weekend again, and he planned to go out and try his luck. But before he left, he still called Sister Wang at the stray pet rescue station, something he did every day, but the result was always the same, leaving him disappointed.

"It seems I need to have my own pet hospital as soon as possible. Only then will I have a stable source of summoning points!" He Dong couldn't help but sigh after hanging up the phone.

For so many days, his summoning points had grown very slowly. He was still three points short of summoning a Level 2 pet, and these three points seemed like an insurmountable gap, making him very frustrated.

"Son, are you busy this weekend? I have to tell you, you haven't been home for two weeks. If you don't come back, your mother will be furious!" Just then, a phone call changed his plans.

"Dad, I'm coming home right away!" Thinking of his mother's angry face, He Dong shuddered and quickly said.

"Good, I'll tell your mother to make your favorite braised pork!" Seeing his goal achieved, He Dong's father hung up with a smile.

He Dong's home was in the suburbs of Tianyang City. A few years ago, they had a few acres of land, but due to the city's expansion and urban village renovation, they now lived in an apartment building but had lost their land.

Without land, they had no source of income, so He Dong's parents set up a breakfast stall at the entrance of their residential area. They started work around 4 a.m. and finished by 10 a.m. It was hard work, but the income was decent.

When He Dong got home, his mother Meng Jing and father He Jin were sitting on the sofa, one watching TV and the other drinking tea.

"Mom, I'm back, and I brought you a gift. Dad, see what I bought for you!" He Dong smiled and handed two beautifully wrapped boxes, one large and one small, to Meng Jing and He Jin.

"Brat, you finally came back, and you're spending money recklessly." Although Meng Jing scolded He Dong, she was smiling, and she was very pleased with the gift, a new fashion item He Dong had bought for her at the mall before coming home.

"Wow! This is top-grade Longjing tea? Son, where did you get it?" Drinking tea was He Jin's greatest passion, but good tea had always been a luxury for him. When he opened the box He Dong handed him, his face lit up with surprise.

"This fashion item and tea aren't cheap, costing at least a thousand yuan. Your living expenses definitely can't cover these things." Meng Jing asked with a puzzled look.

"Don't worry, your son didn't steal or rob anyone. This money is from a business I did with a friend!" He Dong explained with a reason he had already thought of.

"Business? You should focus on your studies, not do business!" He Jin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Dad, this business is closely related to my studies. I'm studying veterinary medicine, and the business I did with my friend is opening a pet hospital, which aligns with my major and won't affect my studies. It will even help my studies a lot!" He Dong explained, partly true and partly false.

"Oh, I see! But, son, you're only in your second year of college. Can you run a pet hospital?" Meng Jing asked, worried.

"Don't worry! Don't you know your son's capabilities? I've already self-studied most of the courses. Although I may lack experience, I can definitely be a qualified veterinarian!" He Dong said confidently.

"Hehe, not bad!" He Jin and Meng Jing both smiled in satisfaction.

Seeing their children succeed in their studies is what every parent hopes for. Their son was only in his second year of college, but he could start a business. Although the final outcome was unknown, his courage alone was worth encouraging.
