Thea didn't know how she got out of the Brown’s villa. She seemed to have lost her soul.
Her dreams were all dashed!
However, the Qicai company was distributed to her father by grandfather. After returning home, her father handed over the Qicai company to herself.
Thea felt that she was not well. She was a little dejected and lost. She didn't know where to go for a while.
Especially now, because of the cooperation with Sky film, the employees of Qicai company were enthusiastic. Now they had to go back and announce that the company was going to be sold…
Thea took a deep breath and hobbled into the car.
…
After an hour's high-level meeting, Eric was very tired. After leaving the Sky film, he rode an electric car to the antique market.
He has just received the news that Gabrielle has repaired the snow bottle, and today was grandma Brown's birthday. The time was just right.
Cycling to the Ancient Rhyme Hall, Peter commanded two men to clean the glasses of the store. When he saw Eric coming, he smiled and said, "Hey, Eric."
Eric has often been here these two days. Peter naturally paid attention. Listening to the young lady's tone, she respected Eric very much. Naturally, he dared not neglect him.
"Hey, Peter." Eric responded with a smile.
"Young lady has been waiting in the back hall for a long time, but you should be careful. I don't think the young lady is in a good mood." Peter whispered.
Eric was stunned, in a bad mood?
Was she on her period?
Eric walked into the back hall strangely. Gabrielle was sitting there waiting.
Today, she was wearing a plain dress with ink splashed green bamboo on it. She was gentle and quiet. She was a young lady of the family. She was slim and graceful. People couldn't help looking at her more.
And in her hand, it was the snow bottle.
"Miss Stone, haven't you waited long?" Eric walked in with a smile.
"Fortunately, I’ve got it." Gabrielle smiled when Eric came in. Her slender hand carefully picked up the snow bottle and got up.
"Let me see." Eric happily stretched out his hand, and Gabrielle handed it to him.
Eric looked at the gap of the snow bottle and the place where the porcelain was mended. He immediately nodded and gave Gabrielle a thumbs up: "Perfect!"
"You must have spent a lot of effort, tell me the price." Eric was very satisfied looking left and right, although it looked so delicate, he could still see the mending when he looked carefully.
Even so, the porcelain mending masters in the city were just like this.
Porcelain mending was a unique skill. It's not just to stick. It cost a lot.
"Forget it, I also offered to help, and I liked this snow bottle so much that I didn't charge you." Gabrielle whispered.
Eric couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Gabrielle strangely: "you seem to have something to say..."
"What do you mean?" Gabrielle looked up with a strange face.
Eric grinned and looked up and down at Gabrielle: "Miss Stone, hesitating doesn't seem to be your style."
Eric boasted very well, but it also made Gabrielle blush awkwardly. In particular, Eric looked up and down at her. She really couldn't stand his eyes and said bluntly, "do you want to give this snow bottle to Grandma Brown?"
"I have planned so."
"This is grandma Brown's birthday party, but the snow bottle was cracked. It's not very auspicious. What do you think?" Gabrielle said.
Eric was stunned. He suddenly understood Gabrielle's meaning and said with a smile: "I think you want this bottle."
"Ah?" Gabrielle was surprised. Looking at Eric's smiling expression, her face turned red again. She knew her mind had been guessed by Eric.
Gabrielle nibbled her lips and said, "you're right, but I won’t force you. I'm more and more fond of the snow bottle these days. Do you think I can exchange things of equal value with you?"
With that, Gabrielle looked up at Eric, and a pair of beautiful eyes were reluctant to leave the snow bottle.
"Miss Stone, you speak so artistically. You love this bottle. You obviously remind me that if I am a gentleman, I won't take it from you. If I don't exchange with you, I'm a villain." Eric said helplessly.
"I didn't mean that." Gabrielle shook her head in denial, but the corners of her mouth asked with a smile, "are you a gentleman?"
"I'm not a gentleman, but I could pretend to be one." Eric sat on the wooden chair and said directly, "what treasure do you exchange with me?"
Gabrielle's clear eyes suddenly became bright. She turned to the wooden cabinet and squatted down to look for it. Half of her long snow-white legs were exposed under her skirt, which was very eye-catching.
Gabrielle was obviously ready. She quickly found it out. She got up and was holding a wooden box carved with Phoenix in her hand. The box was very simple, and she also handed it to Eric.
Eric took it carefully and slowly opened the wooden box. There was a jade ring on the gold gauze.
"What is this?" Eric picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"Tell me about the value of this jade ring." Gabrielle seemed to be happy, she pursed her mouth and had to test Eric's ability.
"This jade ring is older than the age of the snow bottle." Eric couldn't help saying.
"There is a word 'Wu' in the inner ring. It was expected that it should be the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period."
"Can you see the source?" Gabrielle nodded gently, which she believed many people could guess it.
"Since you think this ring is comparable to the snow bottle, it's easy to guess." Eric smiled: "Princess Wencheng has always been praised by later generations, and there was a great woman in the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms. It's not big Qiao and little Qiao that many men have been thinking about, but Mrs. Wu."
"There is a worn depression in the outer ring of the wrench, which must be caused by Mrs. Wu grasping the crutch all the year round, and the implication is also very fitting. Although Mrs. Wu was old, she still served for country, and Grandma Brown is the same. She did everything for the Browns!" Eric said with a smile, but his tone was a little bitter.
Grandma Brown was willing to pay everything for the overall situation of the Browns. She almost sold his wife yesterday!
"So, deal?" Gabrielle looked forward and appreciated.
Obviously, Eric was right. This trigger belonged to Mrs. Wu.
"I'm afraid I couldn't get out of the gate of the ancient rhyme hall without a deal." Eric joked helplessly.
Gabrielle smiled and joked: "just you know!"
Eric went out of the ancient rhyme hall. Gabrielle sent him off in person. Moreover, Gabrielle would also attend Grandma Brown's party. The two would meet again soon.
Eric got on the electric car and suddenly remembered an important thing!
That's the strange old man he met on the roadside last time. He called himself the elder of Emei sect. He was skeptical. Now he fully believed that he defeated Henry yesterday because of the Tongtian pill.
At the beginning, the old man said that although he didn't digest the medicine, there were many benefits of the pills, which could strengthen his body and enhance the abilities of ordinary people in all aspects, such as strength, reaction and speed. So... How powerful would Tongtian pill be if the medicine was fully digested?
No one didn't want to be strong, especially Eric. In the future, he still had a lot to do.
Thinking of this, Eric hurried to the Half-moon Hotel along the West Street. At that time, the strange old man told him to go there to find him…
…
In the Qicai company.
Thea in the office looked at the busy employees outside through the single-layer glass, and her bright eyes flashed a trace of pain. She has been in the company for three hours, but she couldn't tell her staff about it anyway.
Taking a deep breath, Thea walked out of the office, came to the core area of work and patted her hands.
"President Brown, what else do you need?" a girl with glasses said with a smile.
"President Brown must have seen our efforts and success in front of us. She wants to invite us to the celebration banquet." Another female employee said with a smile.
Seeing everyone looking at herself, full of hope that Qicai company would succeed. Her heart was as painful as being stabbed by a needle.
She barely showed a smile, and chuckled: "let's stop our work first. Let's go to the Phoenix Pavilion across the street for dinner. I've booked a table and all the staff are coming. Besides, I have an important thing to announce!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Great, ha ha, I knew it was a good thing. President Brown is full of confidence. She would invite us to the celebration banquet first!"
"No, no, no, this is just the first celebration banquet. I think there would be a bigger one after we really succeed!"
"Ha, guess who will get the most bonus next month?"
"Don't guess. Whoever has more bonus, just treat us to dinner at that time!"
Now it's almost time to get off work. Everyone couldn't be happier.
At 1:30 p.m., Thea bit her lips tightly and drove to the Sky film. It constantly came to her mind that when she announced that Qicai company would change its owner after dinner in Phoenix Pavilion, everyone looked at her expression.
At first they thought she was only joking, but when she repeated it for the third time…
Thea shook her head hard. The picture hurt her heart.
But she had to do so. This time, she came to apologize to Vice President and the president of Sky film. Qicai company would change its ownership. She asked whether to continue the previous clothing cooperation.
Anyway, it's a breach of her contract!
When she came to the magnificent Sky film building, Thea suddenly found that she had come here several times and talked about cooperation several times. Unexpectedly, she had never seen the mysterious president.
She wondered if she was lucky to see him this time?
When she came to the door of Wendy's office, Maggie, the Secretary recognized Thea at a glance. After all, even if Maggie was a girl, it was hard to forget such a beauty.
"Hello, Ms. Brown. Are you looking for Ms. Davis?"
"Yes, is she here?"
Maggie opened the door and invited Thea into the office. She shook her head apologetically: "Ms. Davis went to deal with something and will be back soon. If you're not in a hurry, have a cup of tea and wait a minute."
With that, Maggie poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Thea.
"Thank you." Thea nodded and smiled.
Thea looked around with a teacup in her small hand, and suddenly thought of Eric. Qicai company could cooperate with Sky film. Eric must have made a lot of efforts in it, and Thea felt even more guilty.
She looked up at Maggie and asked, "did Assistant Smith go with President Davis?"
Maggie was stunned and looked strange: "Assistant? What assistant Smith?"
