Hearing this, Gu Xijue's expression suddenly changed. He was no stranger to the cornflower sapphire. He had encountered an almost fatal crisis many years ago because of its "bright jewelry"!
His mother had just passed away, leaving behind a huge business of "Brilliant Jewelry". He was still young at that time, and it was naturally impossible to manage the company, so his uncle took over the position that his mother had held during her lifetime, but he was not that person at all.
The company's performance dropped by 25% in just three years, and it was already losing money in the sixth year!
The company was about to be unsustainable, but he couldn't just watch his mother's career collapse like this, so he had to use the money he earned from the stock market to make up for the losses again and again, but the money was just like fighting.
It disappeared like water.
Until he was sixteen years old, he could take over "Brilliant Jewelry" as the heir, but his uncle refused to delegate power. He even threatened that he had the ability to lead "Brilliant Jewelry" to become the leader in the industry, and
His so-called method was a huge gamble, spending the last funds on the company's books to go to Kashmir to dig for cornflower sapphires!
But everyone around the world knows what the situation in Kashmir is like. A series of issues have arisen from the dispute between India and Pakistan over the sovereignty of Jammu and Kashmir. For more than half a century, relations between India and Pakistan have been tense and relaxed.
Armed conflicts almost never stop.
In addition to political issues, the climate there is also extremely harsh, with snow all year round, making it extremely difficult to excavate gemstones. In the end, it led to a catastrophe - more than 40 workers were killed.
Gu Xijue raised his hand and rubbed his aching forehead. After all these years, he still gets uneasy every time he thinks of the thrilling events of that year. More than forty lives disappeared in the blink of an eye in the vast white snowy mountains.
, it can no longer be described with the simple word "tragedy".
That year, he was lucky enough to meet Qin Hao. Although he was also a sixteen-year-old boy, Qin Hao came from a background like the Qin family. He knew how to use extreme means to deal with difficult problems. They
One was in the open and the other was in the dark. A total of more than 2 billion was spent to appease the families of the victims. Each family was given 50 million. Of course, giving money was only the first step. The more important thing was to keep them secretive.
For the first time in his life and the only time in these years, Qin Hao followed Qin's actions and used all kinds of coercion and inducement. He finally suppressed the matter, and everything went smoothly in the following years.
Gu Xijue's brows instantly condensed. He tapped his slender fingers on the table very slowly, but his thoughts were running fast. "It's been so many years since that incident. It shouldn't be dug out easily, unless someone with a serious intention deliberately did it."
Of."
"You mean someone is deliberately looking for trouble?!"
"It's not as simple as just looking for trouble. Shining Jewelry is under the name of Jinjue. Although they are not in the same industry, once that incident is exposed, Jinjue's image will be subversive and the stock price will inevitably be affected. If there is another judicial
If we intervene, I'm afraid even Jin Jue won't be able to save it, and it's not impossible to destroy it in an instant."
Qin Hao secretly gritted his teeth, "Damn it, who did it?!"
"Anyone who has a problem with Bright Jewelry or Jin Jue may have a problem."
"Jue...could he be your uncle?!"
Gu Xijue shook his head, "If it's him, I really think it's okay. I'm afraid that he will be taken advantage of."
"I'm going to check on him?!"
"Um."
"Then I'll leave tonight."
"Be careful on the road. This is quite a distance from City C."
"I know, don't worry!"

In the evening, Xi Haitang returned home from the nursing home where Su Xin was staying. After cooking dinner for Xiao Chen and Yun Hen, he was about to go out, but bumped into Gu Xijue.
"Uh...why are you here?"
"Are you going out?!"
"Yeah...I'm going to the baby products store to buy something."
"Let's go together, I happen to have something to talk to you about."
Hearing what Gu Xijue said, Xi Haitang was slightly surprised and had no choice but to get in the car with him.
On the way, Xi Haitang looked sideways and saw that Gu Xijue's eyebrows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind, "Is something wrong?"
He was stunned and shook his head, "Let's talk about it later. Let's go shopping first."
"oh."
The two of them drove to the baby products store. Xi Haitang carefully selected baby bottles, pacifiers and other items for Xiaoyi. After looking at a few, she felt bad.
Seeing her expression of embarrassment, Gu Xijue couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You don't even like it?"
"These are plastic bottles containing bisphenol A. Hasn't the European Union issued a ban? It is said that the bisphenol A contained in such bottles has certain uncertainties or side effects, or may cause harm to development, endocrine, etc., and may be harmful to the fetus.
, it has potential effects on the brain, behavior and prostate of infants and children, so this should not be used on small children!”
"Uh... what about those glass ones?" Gu Xijue pointed to the shelf on the other side.
Xi Haitang shook his head again, "Glass is easy to break and is very dangerous. When Xiaochen was a child, three glasses were broken in a month. It scared me to death. I was so afraid that the broken glass would hurt her."
Her unconscious words made Gu Xijue's heart tighten instantly. It was all his fault that she had suffered so much before and was still suffering now!
Seeing that they hadn't made a choice for a long time, the clerk quickly came over and made a warm recommendation, "Sir, Madam, do you want to choose a glass bottle for your baby?"
"..." Both Gu Xijue and Xi Haitang's expressions froze, and they neither nodded nor shook their heads. They were right to choose a bottle, but the baby was not theirs.
The clerk thought they were embarrassed. She pursed her lips and smiled before continuing to recommend Xi Haitang to Reli, "Madam, you can choose this one. This is a double-layered safety glass bottle. It's super easy to use! It's made of glass on the inside and has one on the outside.
It has a protective cover and a shock-absorbing device, so it won’t break easily if accidentally dropped on the ground. Even if the glass breaks, it won’t fly around. It’s sealed inside the outer cover, which can protect your baby’s safety very well!”
Xi Haitang nodded with satisfaction, "I want this!"
The two of them walked out of the baby products store. Xi Haitang still had a faint smile on his lips, "I didn't expect it to be so advanced now. They are all double-layered glass bottles..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xijue hugged her...
(I beg for red envelopes in tears! My ranking is terrible. Children, please support me!)
