Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 561

After hearing that Jiang Yao, as a young, out-of-town lady, was able to obtain Shengqi Hospital's shares, many assumed she was an illegitimate child of the Qi family.

However, after Huang Chengjing's explanation that the Qi family was the one that gave up their shares, he was sure that the crowd would dismiss their assumptions.

After all, it was impossible for the Qi family to surrender their shares to an illegitimate child. The key was in the word "surrender"”an extremely harsh phrase, used by Huang Chengjing.

They could only assume that Jiang Yao came from an unknown yet powerful background, even the Qi family had to bow to her wishes.

Seeing the general manager of Hairun Group, Huang Chengjing regarding Jiang Yao with such high reverence only strengthened their belief.

That had an immediate effect on how the guests conducted themselves in front of Jiang Yao; everyone became friendly and courteous.

There were a few curious souls who wanted to know Jiang Yao's true identity. However, with both Huang Chengjing and Jiang Yao keeping a tight lip, there was nothing much the inquisitive individuals could do.

Following Huang Chengjing around the banquet hall, Jiang Yao was introduced to most, if not all, of the guests present at the gala. She memorized the names and the faces of everyone she met. Some people could be acquainted with, while the others were best to steer clear of.

Seeing Jiang Yao's jaw drop, Huang Chengjing chuckled. "This happens only when we have a wonderful customer and a piece of exceptional stone. But don't forget that the most ordinary piece of emerald can increase its value by a few times just by processing it into a piece of jewelry. With such a huge country and a booming population, there is no lack of market and consumers here. What do you think about the profitability of the jewelry business now?"

To say Jiang Yao was stupefied was an understatement.

Immediately, a thought crossed her mind.

Since it was so profitable, she should get herself involved in the business.
