The coming-of-age ceremony went smoothly. Ying Xuewu was dressed like a fairy in a formal dress, long shawl hair, and jeweled hair accessories. Ying Haoxiong almost cried with excitement.
My daughter finally grew up and became an adult! Looking at the attentive young masters on the field, he felt sour. Soon some of these brats would marry their daughters, but why did he feel that none of them were worthy of his precious daughter.
At the subsequent cocktail party, Ying Xuewu saw an acquaintance and walked over: "I didn't expect you to come."
Looking at Park Min Ho's high-end dress: "The clothes are good."
Park Min Ho was obviously not familiar with the atmosphere of the reception. He stayed alone since he arrived: "Jiang Debin brought me here."
After a pause, he said stiffly: "He also gave me the clothes."
Young Xuewu smiled, and Park Min Ho also laughed involuntarily.
He giggled for a while, took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it over: "I wish you a happy adulthood!"
"Thank you!" Ying Xuewu took it, opened it, and was stunned. The box contains a purple pearl as big as a grape, which is round and smooth and emits faint fluorescence.
The world price of top-grade purple pearls is only comparable to that of diamonds of the same size.
Ying Xuewu closed the box with her fingers: "I can't keep it, people will know." It's better to take it back and throw it into the sea, or hide it and take it out when it is urgently needed.
Park Min Ho was very calm: "With Miss Ying's strength, it is not easy to get a pearl. In fact, you all know, thank you for helping to hide it."
Ying Xuewu seemed to understand something, and turned to Jiang Debin, who was chatting with other noble gentlemen.
"Yes." Park Min Ho nodded.
…
Jiang Wenye looked at his son Jiang Debin and frowned slightly: "There are really no pearls there?"
"No!" Jiang Debin replied with certainty, and it really didn't look real anymore: "Ying Xuewu and I have searched several times. Not to mention pearls, there is not even a pearl clam shell. It smells like oysters. Yes, I even dug a bucket and asked dad to try it while it was fresh tonight."
Oysters? Hehe, no matter how good the oysters are, the only way to transport them to such a remote place is by air. The cost is too high. That's not the only place where oysters are born. The second area is also close to the sea, and the oysters are also good.
If there are no pearls in this broken place, then forget it.
…
I didn't expect Jiang Debin to be such a person... Ying Xuewu squeezed the brocade box tightly in her palms with a smile.
Park Min Ho couldn't help but feel complicated: "The pearls were transported from the outer sea. As for where, because the tribe we went to has long since died, one or two leaked out and were brought back from outside by chance... Mr. Jiang will find a way."
There is another piece of land outside the sea, but the people living there are almost all savage primitive tribes, poor and backward. They are about as poor as the first district, or even poorer, but the first district can still have enough to eat. With that being said, who would run to the open sea in the dark and look around aimlessly?
No wonder he was so helpful. It turned out to be cooperation, so he frowned slightly: "How to divide it?"
"Fifty-five, one pearl every year or every two years." Too many pearls on the market will affect the price. This kind of hungry sales can get the maximum benefit.
It's dark enough, but only people with a strong background can bring such valuable pearls to the market without leaving any trace. If you don't find a strong and trustworthy backer, how can you dare to take out the pearls? Come to think of it, this 50/50 split is not considered bad.
"Also..." Park Min Ho felt that he was very shameless. Even for the sake of his clan members, he couldn't help but blush: "I want to become the branch president of the first branch of Qingyun Society. Please agree to it, boss."
Ying Xuewu was stunned. Good guy, relying on Jiang Debin was not enough. He wanted to hug her thigh again. Thinking about the group of villagers in the first area who lived in harmony with nature, she nodded: "I agree, you go and talk to Hu Liangming again and register."
"Thank you, that's great." Park Min Ho smiled again. Although he didn't laugh, he was really happy today: "Thank you, boss."
"I knew the boss would agree. I have already put up the Qingyun Society sign."
Ying Xuewu...
On the beach in District 1, a wooden board split from a coconut tree, with the common language "Qingyun Society District 1 Branch" written on it, was hung on the beam, and the wooden strips under the beam were still hanging to dry. kelp.
Zhang Laoliu, who came to collect the kelp, stared blankly. The villagers explained that Park Min Ho had hung it up, saying that as long as it was hung up, no one would dare to cause trouble in the village. A beautiful lady who had been a guest in the village would stand up for them and beat them up.
What is Qingyun Club? It seems that I am going to inquire, but I know that the previous group of people are not ordinary people. If it is useful, I really want to ask Park Min Ho to hang one in his village.
Zhe Zhiwei, who was also not sociable, sat alone in the corner, drinking champagne silently.
Seeing Ying Xuewu and Park Min Ho coming over after chatting.
He stood up and said: "Happy coming of age." After receiving the news, Zhe Ruicheng planned to help him hold a coming of age ceremony, and specially asked Ying Xuewu to be invited.
I really didn't know what to say. While hesitating, Ying Xuewu took the champagne glass from his hand and put it next to him, took his hand and walked out.
Uh... Well, there are a lot of guests here.
Seeing Ying Xuewu pulling Zhe Zhiwei away, a noble man wanted to follow him unconvinced, but was stopped by the security guard here. Miss Ying can go wherever she wants and take whomever she wants with her. Unless invited, she is not allowed to follow!
Ying Xuewu dragged Zhe Zhiwei all the way to a room. This room is very simple, as clean as a soldier's, without any unnecessary decoration.
"This is..." Zhe Zhiwei was not sure.
"My room." Ying Xuewu put the brocade box in her hand on the desk next to her. It became the only thing on the desk that had nothing to do with books, pen, ink and paper.
It was really her room, but why was it so clean? It seemed that Ying Haoxiong raised his daughter as a son and followed the army's requirements.
Ying Xuewu turned around and walked over, directly held Zhe Zhiwei's face with her hands, went up and kissed him.
Now Zhe Zhiwei is confused, what's the situation?
Ying Xuewu smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth: "Li Chengwang said that when he asked you to help recruit members, you were not very happy. He said that he should give his life to save his life."
"I'll take it before I save you for a long time and before you forget!"
ah? Zhe Zhiwei was completely confused. Ying Xuewu had already kissed him again. What happened next was developing in a direction beyond his control. It was completely based on instinct...
After Ying Haoxiong learned about the situation, he was speechless for a moment, and then responded to Li Chengwang's father, who was in charge of security: "I understand."
Then he continued to socialize with the wine glass, but his heart was a little drumming.
