C6 The Person He Wanted to Meet
How could Su Rann be so lucky?
Huang Jiamin's gaze was fixated on the jade Buddha the moment she laid eyes on it, unable to look away. The gift was incredibly precious to her!
In Boss Chen's mind, his jade Buddha paled in comparison to the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Su Rann gave the jade Buddha a cursory glance, utterly unmoved.
"Su Rann, aren't you going to catch it? Do you realize what this is?"
If Boss Chen demanded that Su Rann kneel, she would somehow find a way to comply.
"Su Rann, you must be out of your mind today!"
Lin Manyin was itching to go up there and slap her a couple of times!
"Su Rann, do you have any idea that this jade Buddha is worth more than you?"
The onlookers began to berate Su Rann.
This woman truly didn't appreciate what she had!
With a nonchalant smile playing on her lips, Su Rann said, "Since Boss Chen is trading the jade Buddha for a radish from the trash can, then in my eyes, it holds the same value as that radish, doesn't it?"
Her voice was devoid of any warmth.
Boss Chen had never encountered such a woman with such a strong personality, truly worthy of her association with the divine healer.
Far from being angry, he actually approached Su Rann.
"The lady is correct. My jade Buddha was indeed meant to be exchanged for a radish from the trash can, so it belongs there!"
With that, Boss Chen tossed the jade Buddha into the trash can.
The room was filled with shock!
The notoriously temperamental Boss Chen wasn't angry? Instead, he showed remarkable tolerance towards Su Rann, the usual scapegoat.
And to think he casually discarded the invaluable jade Buddha into the trash!
"May I ask which year you were born, Miss?" Boss Chen asked with a forced smile.
After a moment's reflection, Su Rann responded indifferently, "The year of Jiazi."
Boss Chen's face lit up with a smile. "Excellent! A master once told me that those born in the Jiazi year are my destined benefactors! Miss Su, if you're willing to take charge of this project, I have no objections whatsoever!"
Lin Manyin was taken aback by Boss Chen's words, especially since she had previously met with him in private.
He was an exceptionally aloof and serious individual, not at all the type to engage in easy conversation.
Today, it seemed Su Rann had really lucked out in the most unlikely way.
Su Rann maintained her nonchalant demeanor, seemingly indifferent to his words.
Upon seeing Su Rann's casual expression, Lin Manyin approached her directly.
"Su Rann, how can you hesitate at a time like this? Since you've married into the Lu family, you haven't contributed anything. Now is the time to give back to the family!" Lin Manyin's tone was aggressive.
She's only born in the year of Jiazi. If she were born two years later, what would Su Rann have to do with anything?
Su Rann gave her a cool, dismissive glance.
"Su Rann, don't throw away this opportunity. This is a chance of a lifetime. You should be jumping at it!" Lin Manyin was well aware of the significance of this collaboration for the Lu family.
"Enough with the noise! If you want me to discuss the cooperation, I might consider it. But first, slap yourself twenty times. You're buzzing around like a headless fly, and it's irritating!" She lifted her teacup and took a delicate sip.
If you're game, then I'm up for it, Su Rann thought, feeling a surge of interest.
"You..."
Lin Manyin was taken aback by such an insult.
"How outrageous!" Lin Manyin's hand flew up, ready to strike Su Rann's face.
Boss Chen stepped in front of her without hesitation.
"I've made myself clear; I will only cooperate with her and no one else!" His voice resonated with authority.
