A cold sneer spread across her lips, and her fingers began to tighten inch by inch until her sharp nails dug deep into her flesh. Only then did she realize that someone in the office was speaking.
"Eh? Miss An, why haven't you left yet?"
"..."
Ye Ning was momentarily stunned!
Leave?
She lifted her eyes to the desk and noticed that the man who had been sitting in the chair had, unbeknownst to her, already left the place.
So, did this mean he was not going to hold her accountable?
Ye Ning finally sighed in relief, and bringing her son with her, she remembered what the man had said earlier and couldn't help but gossip, "Mr. Gao, are you going to invite someone from the NGTC over?"
Secretary Gao nodded, "Yes, the NGTC is the national authority for gemstone certification. Yuzhirun is just starting out and we haven't been able to hire professional-grade appraisers yet. At a time like this, it's better to have them come over."
So that was it!
Ye Ning also agreed with this approach.
Indeed, when there's a commotion about fakes in a jewelry store, the best thing to do is to have an appraiser there on the spot. But Ou Mucen was pretty impressive; his company hadn't hired an appraiser yet, but he had brought in the NGTC.
The NGTC, huh? Are they someone just anyone can ask for help? It's a national organization that works for the government; if you don't have the right connections, who would give you such regard?
So Ye Ning just gave a slight nod, took her child by the hand, and left the place.
"Xiaobao, are you hungry?"
Ye Xiaobao's big eyes immediately lit up, "Mommy, are you going to treat me to something to eat?"
Ye Ning looked down at him and smiled, "Of course I can. Look, there's KFC right over there. How about I take you there to eat?"
KFC?
Ye Xiaobao glanced at the KFC next to the jewelry store that was making a fuss downstairs, just outside the window, and his little face immediately turned sour, "Mommy, are you worried about uncle?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it? You always told me that KFC is junk food and eating too much of it isn't good for your health. But now, seeing it next to the jewelry store, you're taking me there."
Ye Ning: "..."
Suddenly, her face reddened, and with a slap to the little head, she opened her mouth to chastise, "What nonsense are you spouting? At such a young age, all you think about is all kinds of nonsense. If you don't want to eat, then forget it. Let's go, we're going home!"
Ye Xiaobao immediately clung to his mother's leg, "Eat eat eat, it doesn't matter what Mommy takes Xiaobao to eat, Xiaobao will like it."
That was the sycophantic Ye Xiaobao!
Really, why make an enemy of food? Let Ye Dabao do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't interfere with his eating.
But Ye Xiaobao hadn't expected that once he successfully kept this woman from leaving, she would actually take out her phone and dial a number, "Hello? Xiaoyu, this is Ye Ning. Come to Century Lotus Plaza in the development zone, I'll treat you to coffee..."
Ye Xiaobao: "..."
Ye Dabao, you've done enough. Even though I'm easy to take care of, drinking coffee isn't good for the growth of children!!

Meanwhile, inside Yuzhirun Jewelry Store, the commotion caused by the celebrity scandal had already made quite a fuss in this newly developed plaza, drawing reporters, onlookers, and various gossip enthusiasts to the scene.
There was no helping it. Although Yuzhirun was a new brand, the company behind it was the well-known Ou family in this city. Naturally, any issue with its products attracted nationwide attention and those media reporters were definitely going to seize this opportunity to gain maximum exposure.
