Reality proved that as long as you wanted to do it, there was nothing you could not do. Although three days were a little tight, Tian Tian still managed to make the set of jewelry. She didnât have the skills herself, so she contacted a very good craftsman. The craftsman was very challenging and spent three days making a very beautiful set of jewelry.
Tian Tian shared it with Tan Rou the moment she got it. She covered the box with the jewelry tightly, afraid that she would accidentally lose them.
âXiao Rou, come and take a look. The jewelry we made together is ready.â Tian Tian opened the box.
The golden necklace was inlaid with a blood-red gem. This color of gem was very rare, and it was not cheap; one carat cost 70 to 80 thousand.
âTiantian, these rubies of yours are quite beautiful.â Tan Rou praised.
âDoes Xiao Rou like rubies too? I still have a few more. Iâll give them to you in a while,â said Tian Tian generously.
Tan Rou didnât take it. âNo need, I was just casually saying it. Besides, there are many gemstones here. If you want to make jewelry again, come to me and get it.â
Tian Tian knew that Tan Rou had several gemstone mines so she did not persist. âThe next time I need any jewelry, Iâll definitely come to you.â
âOf course. Iâll find you the biggest and most beautiful gemstone.â Tan Rou said.
They closed the box after reading it and waited for the auction to take it out.
The scale of the charity banquet today was not very large, but all of them were well-known figures in the circle; even Mayor Guo had brought his wife.
âWhen do you plan to start working on the cooperation we discussed last time?â Mayor Guo asked kindly.
âMayor Guo, itâs almost New Years. Canât you let me have a good one? If I still have to work during the New Years, thatâll be too tragic.â
Mayor Guo rubbed his fingers. âSigh, then the first thing you have to do after the New Year is to deal with our cooperation. I can wait, but the project canât.â
Since TR had cooperated with the government many times, Tan Rou didnât want to leave Mayor Guo alone. There were too many things to do this year, and she was too busy. However, the situation next year should be better. The project she wanted to do had been completed. In the next six months, the TR could focus on handling the work arranged by the government.
Tan Rou nodded. âAlright. Iâll deal with the collaboration with you after we return to work after the new year.â
Mayor Guo was very satisfied. âAlright, Iâll go in first.â
âAlright, welcome,â Tan Rou said.
A few minutes after Mayor Guo entered, Shen Jing and Zhuang Yan came over. They did not come empty-handed, but with two long boxes.
When Shen Jing saw Tan Rou, she immediately abandoned her husband and came to Tan Rou with a smile. âRourou, I havenât seen you in a long time. Donât you miss your mother?â
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were already married. Although they didnât announce their relationship, they had already changed the way they addressed each otherâs parents.
Tan Rou said obediently, âOf course Iâve missed you! Yesterday, I told Ah Liu that Iâm going to spend the New Year with Mom and Dad this year.â
The Zhuang family had few people, but the Tao family had many people. Therefore, they planned to have New Yearâs Eve dinner together this year. It would be more lively with more people.
Shen Jing was very happy. âAlright! Iâll cook for you guys personally.â
Zhuang Yan also walked over. âLetâs go in and register the auction items first. Rourou, is there anything worth bidding tonight?â he asked Tan Rou.
âGive me some intel in advance, I wonât tell anyone.â
Tan Rou smiled and replied, âDad, Iâm not in charge of the auction items.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Besides, I donât know which items are valuable and which are not. So, you have to go and see for yourself.â
Shen Jing blamed Zhuang Yan. âWhat are you thinking? Weâre not here to pick up scraps. This banquet is organized by the old lady. The purpose is to do charity. Donât think about fishing for treasures here.â
âOh, looks like Iâve said something wrong. Iâll take back that question.â Zhuang Yan realized that his words were inappropriate.
Shen Jing patted him lightly. âLetâs go in quickly. We donât want to disturb Rourouâs work here.â
Not long after the two of them entered, Zhuang Liu came.
