Chapter 1379 A Golden Opportunity
The officers had Emmeline review the statement, and after she signed and stamped it, they left withouteven drinking any water during the entire process.
Emmeline then told her parents and Abel briefly about Ysabel’s situation, along with her speculations.
Abel and Maxwell both agreed that it couldn’t be that simple. Criminals never leave anything on thesurface, and police officers’ jobs aren’t so easy.
At that, Emmeline wondered, Where has Ysabel gone? Well, I hope she’s safe.
After dinner, Emmeline took out the jade thumb ring from the three “antiques” she had acquired duringher last treasure hunt.
She said to Abel, I’ve been wanting to give you this for a while. I didn’t clean it up properly last time, butnow it’s all good.”
Without any explanation, she pulled Abel’s right hand and placed the jade thumb ring on his thumb.
“This is a precious item used by the great heroes who roamed the vast grasslands and shot eagles withtheir bows. It’s from a specific era and a genuine find,” she said.
“Specific era, genuine find? You’re just pulling my leg, aren’t you?” Abel laughed.
As long as Emmeline was happy, he didn’t mind at all.
Emmeline wore a mischievous smile and said, “I was indeed making it up.”
“You can fool me all you want.” Abel laughed. “But if it’s against those antique experts, you’ll be introuble.”
Emmeline played with the “jade figurine” and the “jade cicada” in her hand and said to Abel, “Could youhelp me find out where I can consult an expert in antique appraisal? I want to know what these twoitems are.”
“These are just children’s toys,” Abel teased her. “Keep them for fun.”
Emmeline pouted. “I’ve looked at them a hundred times and researched a lot of information. These twoitems seem rather extraordinary, especially this jade cicada. It’s been carved in a specific style. I justdon’t know if these two items are modern forgeries or genuine antiques.”
Abel, impressed by her knowledge and seriousness, nodded and said, “I got it. I’ll ask around and seeif there’s an antique appraisal expert.”
Emmeline then broke into a joyful smile and planted a quick kiss on his check.
The next day. Abel and Emmeline headed back to Altney downtown. Abel dropped Emmeline off atRetroWave Advertisements and then headed to the factory.
Recently, there were rumors about the factory’s contracting matters, saying that the factory managerheld centralized power and the four workshops were individually contracting with the factoryemployees. It was unclear whether this was true or not. If it were, would this contracting method benefitor harm the future development of the factory?novelbin
Samples of the smoothie blender cover had already been produced in the workshop. After varioustests, there were discrepancies with the data provided by Paul Abel called Paul about this issue.
Paul said, “I suggest you temporarily hire a technical expert from Oakheart or Goulcrest to go overthere. Sometimes, the problem might be lying just under the surface.”
“That’s a good idea.” Abel nodded. “It seems our technology is not up to par.”
Paul continued, “Last time we talked about taking orders, you might consider launching your ownbrand. Do you have any leads now?”
“We have a contracting proposal for the factory, but it hasn’t been finalized yet. Once the timing is right,I’ll start working on it.”
“Great!” Paul said. “We’ve known each other for some time, and I hope to see your new development.The business transformation is a good opportunity. You can confidently pursue it, and I’ll support youwith orders!”
“Thank you!” Abel was pleased. “But I have a small idea. I wonder if you would be interested?”
“Go ahead and tell me,” Paul said.
“On my side, with the factory contracting, if you have confidence in me, I can offer you a 50% stake.”
Paul burst into laughter. “Abel, you truly are a talent! You’ve got me hooked!”
The two of them laughed heartily, reaching a mutual agreement.
Emmeline and Tony were well-prepared when they arrived at the department store.
As Tony wasn’t using his crutches, he had some difficulty walking. To make it worse, Vernon’s officewas on the fourth floor, and the building didn’t have an elevator, so they had to climb the stairs.
Emmeline supported him, helping him ascend the stairs.
“Emma, you see this? It’s not easy for anyone who wants to accomplish something. They need toovercome many difficulties, Tony remarked.
“Through hardships to the stars,” Emmeline encouraged him.
