Chapter 411 - A Woman in Love (1)
When Feng Tianyi and Song Fengyan arrived at their next appointment location, Meng Yanran was already there with her mentor, waiting for their arrival. She bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze once she saw the two men enter the meeting room.
She didn't realise that this man, who introduced himself as Qin Jiran and Tang Moyu's husband, was none other than the infamous devil, Feng Tianyi himself when she first met him. And as the rumors about them having an affair spread through several news outlets, Meng Yanran couldn't help but be ashamed of herself.
Whether this man was really Tang Moyu's husband or not, it could never deny what she had witnessed herself when the two saved her from that remote town. The feelings they had and the way the two treated each other was comparable to those who were husband and wife.
Meng Yanran made a mental note to apologize personally to Feng Tianyi and give the empress a call to clear things up with her. She wasn't sure where the ridiculous rumors started, but she surely didn't want to be painted as a third party in their relationship.
The first production of Xiao Xing was going well without a hitch, much to Song Fengyan's relief. The amount of money the empress and the devil had put in to start up this company was no joke and they would suffer a great loss if the production failed.
With Meng Yanran and the senior analyst on their team, Feng Tianyi was able to make sure that they could sort out and identify the grades of the precious gem.
The diamond must undergo several stages of production before they are ready to be transformed into a vibrant piece of jewelry.
Usually, there were four stages that a diamond must go through before it could reach the market. However, because Tang Moyu wanted to cut losses and maximize the profit from the production, she omitted the second stage, where the middle men brought the stones to the market and consumers. However, this would cost her and Feng Tianyi a hefty amount of money.
Initially, the empress just wanted to mess with the Han family by stealing their thunder, but later, she found out that this business could be lucrative for her and Feng Tianyi in the future.
The first stage was the mining itself. Once the rough stones were found, they were usually sold to manufacturing companies like Xiao Xing to be sorted by its grade and to be priced.
The third stage was manufacturing the diamond. Regardless of the source, all rough stones would eventually find their way to the cutting centers. It had to be carefully examined to decide how it should be cut to yield the greatest value.
The stones's shape, measurements and weight are also taken into consideration. Finally, the diamond was polished and ready for sale. After the diamond was manufactured, it was ready to be sold to jewelry manufacturers and diamond wholesalers.
Tang Moyu aimed to make Xiao Xing one of the largest distributors of diamonds within the country. Even now, she had managed to secure some partnersh.i.p.s with major jewelry companies.
Feng Tianyi was pleased that everything was going well according to his wife's plan. There were a few issues that arose earlier, but they were able to fix the problems right away.
When the managers left the meeting room, Song Fengyan eyed the devil, who'd been awfully silent since the start of the meeting. It made him wonder if Feng Tianyi was brewing another retaliation against Yun Zhen for going after Tang Moyu when he wasn't around.
Ah, why was Yun Zhen trying to poke the devil unknowingly? Anyway, Feng Tianyi should have known that with the empress's beautiful face, it was only natural for her to unknowingly garner other men's attention.
"You know if you wanna go home, you can leave everything to me. I don't mind covering for you." Song Fengyan told his cousin. What was the point of Feng Tianyi being here if his mind was somewhere else?
Feng Tianyi arched a brow at him, surprised that he was willing to let him off the hook this time.
"Are you sure? Didn't you say I need to stay for four more days?" He questioned Song Fengyan.
"Your mind clearly isn't here with us. I know that you can't wait to go back to Shenzhen to see Tang Moyu." Song Fengyan gave him a pointed look.
It was then they heard a knock on the door. Pushing the door open, Meng Yanran stepped in to pass the reports the two men were waiting for.
"If there's nothing else you need, please excuse me." She gave them a polite bow, intending to leave the two men. but Feng Tianyi stopped her.
"Miss Meng, Moyu said that you are good at designing jewelry? Is that true?" He questioned her.
Meng Yanran blinked twice in confusion. Xiao Xing didn't make jewelry though, why was he asking her this?
"I know how to do it, but I've never done it professionally, Mr. Feng." She answered him truthfully. It had been years since she last did something like that and she wasn't sure if she would be able to make decent designs.
"Then do you mind helping me create a beautiful ring for Moyu? I intend to give her one."
Song Fengyan's head snapped towards him in shock. Did he just hear his cousin right? Did the devil intend to propose to the empress because his position was being threatened by Yun Zhen?
Even Meng Yanran was rendered speechless by Feng Tianyi's request. This could only mean one thing, and she was shocked that he was asking her for this favor. It took her a good few seconds before she could give him an answer.
"I-I don't mind. I will do some sample sketches and send it to your email later." She said blankly before turning her gaze to Song Fengyan, who was now pinching the space between his eyes as he was reminded how crazy the devil could be.
"Great!" The devil's mood dramatically changed and improved upon hearing Meng Yanran's answer.
