The real heiress has a super-rich system; it's your turn to fawn over her.

Chapter 312 We Must Secure the Loan

Wu Mingxing said very generously.

It seemed that he had shown him extraordinary kindness, and Xu Tianlan and the others should be grateful to him.

Unfortunately, in Xu Tianlan's eyes, his demeanor was utterly hypocritical.

If Wu Mingxing were truly as magnanimous as his role models, an apology would have been enough, and he wouldn't have pressured Bao Ruitang like this.

If Xu Tianlan were merely the owner of Baoruitang, she certainly wouldn't want to become enemies with Yuzhiyuan for the sake of Baoruitang's development.

Yu Zhi Yuan is a leading player in the domestic jewelry industry, and a single sentence from them can effectively halt their domestic procurement efforts.

Even when you see good jadeite rough stones abroad, you may not be able to buy them because of the price.

Even if you have a favorite rough stone, it's still very difficult to win the bid.

As the saying goes, everyone likes good things.

Even if it's with the intention of finding a bargain, there are quite a few people here with that thought.

This also greatly increases the difficulty of bidding.

Wu Mingxing's words really hit Baoruitang's weak spot.

But it is definitely not Xu Tianlan's weakness.

Even disregarding the fact that the boss, Tian Zhenzhen, is involved, the assets controlled by the several companies under Xu Tianlan's control are far beyond what Yu Zhiyuan can match.

Wu Mingxing was very pleased with himself, knowing he would soon see that stinky woman apologizing to him.

His request wasn't demanding; anyone with a sound mind wouldn't refuse it.

As for why he would be so kind, it's obviously to lay the groundwork for what's to come.

We can't let them escape this disaster just because Baoruitang is broke.

If it's just about ripping off a small amount of money, what's the point?

He must kill Bao Ruitang.

"You want me to apologize? No way."

Xu Tianlan refused without even thinking.

Seeing that she wasn't cooperating, what else did Wu Mingxing want to do?

Wu Mingxing never expected Xu Tianlan to refuse, and said somewhat anxiously:

"Xu Tianlan, don't be ungrateful. I'm only asking you to apologize; I'm already being very lenient with you."

As Wu Mingxing spoke, he also gave winks to some of the jade merchants around him.

People in the industry know very well about the affairs of Yu Zhi Yuan and Bao Rui Tang.

Although Yuzhiyuan was indeed wrong to plagiarize, there was nothing they could do. They were an established brand, and they could easily crush Yuzhiyuan with a few tricks.

Xu Tianlan had made an appearance before when Zhenrui Chip was involved, but that was only once, and besides, they weren't even in the same industry.

It's normal that these jade merchants don't recognize her.

If someone from the chip industry were here today, no one would fail to recognize Xu Tianlan.

The Zhenrui chip is truly the leader, and by a huge margin. You can't ignore it unless you quit this industry.

"Mr. Xu, know when to stop. Don't jeopardize your business just to get by in a moment of anger."

"Yes, it's just an apology, it's not making things difficult for you. Think about the future of your Baoruitang, it's really nothing."

"If Yu Zhi Yuan agrees, we can let you participate. Don't you want to get a share of the profits?"

These people are all seasoned veterans in the business world, even if they didn't make an appointment with Wu Mingxing beforehand.

It was also out of respect for Wu Mingxing that they wanted Xu Tianlan to compromise.

Unfortunately, Xu Tianlan remained unmoved by their words.

When they realized that kind words wouldn't work, someone resorted to threats.

"Mr. Xu, you're really stubborn. Manager Wu has already given you so much face. All you have to do is apologize. You won't lose anything."

If you can't even accept this, then I don't see any point in keeping your Baoruitang business running.

"Your attitude of not apologizing for your mistakes is unacceptable in the jade industry."

To say that Yu Zhiyuan was targeting them before is an oversight.

Now things are really messed up. If Xu Tianlan doesn't compromise, she will be ostracized by the entire domestic jade industry.

The person who just spoke is quite influential; he is the vice president of the China Jade Association.

His attitude represents the Jade Association.

If the Jade Association determines its nature, Baoruitang will truly have a hard time recovering.

Unfortunately, Xu Tianlan still showed no intention of apologizing after hearing the vice president's words.

"Vice President, I am willing to apologize on behalf of our boss."

She's a girl and easily embarrassed, so she hopes everyone can understand.

I have been with Baoruitang Company for more than ten years. I have a deep affection for it and have long regarded Baoruitang as my other home.

Please, Manager Wu, stop arguing with us and give Baoruitang a way to survive.

Master Zhou spoke up at this moment, and his words were sincere and heartfelt.

If Xu Tianlan hadn't investigated him beforehand, she would have really thought he was after Baoruitang.

Now all she felt was a cold snort.

Wu Mingxing knew at this point that Xu Tianlan would not apologize to him.

Although somewhat annoyed, in order for the play to continue, he had no choice but to go along with Master Zhou's words.

"Alright, for your sake, let's call it even this time."

I will no longer concern myself with your affairs.

Wu Mingxing's words indicated that the feud between the two sides had come to an end.

He's a magnanimous person and won't hold it against Xu Tianlan.

Later, someone invited Xu Tianlan to study jade together, and Xu Tianlan did not refuse.

With Master Zhou's support, these people actually took a liking to a piece of raw stone.

"This rough stone is quite good. Although it's not as good as the previous ones, it's already pretty good that we can afford it with our funds."

"I agree with you; these windows are indeed quite nice."

"Let's first determine the scope of our respective purchases. I think we can be a little accommodating to Boss Xu, since Baoruitang's demand is much greater than ours."

"You're right, Mr. Xu just doesn't know if you have enough funds."

If there aren't enough funds, then there's nothing we can do.

However, I think you can't miss such a great opportunity. Given the quality of this rough stone, buying it is a steal.

This rough stone had already been examined by their appraisers. Although the green layer on the surface was of decent quality, the inside was likely to be a fracture.

This is a scheme orchestrated by Wu Mingxing to make Baoruitang bleed heavily.

"Thank you all for your kind offer, but I'll have to think about it."

Xu Tianlan feigned hesitation, but her gaze fell upon Tian Zhenzhen. Seeing her nod, Xu Tianlan changed her words and said:

"I wonder how much you can give me? I, Xu Tianlan, am not an ungrateful person."

If I can save Baoruitang, I will definitely thank everyone properly.

"That's easy to say. We'll take a loss, but we'll definitely take good care of you."

As they talked, the group took out pens and roughly sketched out the area they planned to buy.

Then Xu Tianlan was given about three-fifths of the remaining amount.

"There are so many, Master Zhou, can you guarantee we'll make money this time?"

"If I could, I'd take out a loan to buy the remaining rough stones."
