He wanted to take revenge on Zhou Qi, but he didn't know where to start. After all, this was their first meeting, and he couldn't just cause trouble for no reason, especially since his father was also there.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he was still furious when he left the restaurant.

Shang Baochang invited Zhou Qi to visit his company.

As soon as he got in the car, Shang Zizhe couldn't help it and punched the car door with all his strength, making a loud "bang" sound. Shang Baochang's face darkened and he roared, "What are you crazy about? Do you want to die?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Shang Zizhe, calming him down instantly. But he still said unwillingly, "Dad, what's so good about that kid? Why are you so nice to him?"

How could Shang Baochang not see what his son was thinking? He said coldly, "Is this all you can do? Qianqian did that on purpose to irritate you, can't you even see through such a small matter? If you continue like this, you might as well not come back."

Shang Zizhe was stunned. It turned out that he had had the same idea before.

Seeing Du Qianqian's intimacy with Zhou Qi, Shang Zizhe's heart was stirred again, and his father's words made him even more hesitant.

"Dad, do you also think Qianqian is testing me?"

"What else?" my father asked back, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Zhou Qi has a family. Do you think Uncle Du would be willing to let his daughter get involved in this kind of trouble? Although little is known about this matter, Qianqian is indeed the apple of his eye. Do you think Uncle Du would not care about his reputation and allow her to get entangled with a married man?"

"If there really was something going on, Uncle Du would have reacted long ago. He wouldn't have let her act so blatantly in front of you."

Shang Zizhe was thoughtful. What his father said made sense. Uncle Du was an important figure in Guangdong Province and would never let his daughter fall into a dishonorable situation easily.

"I understand, thank you, Dad!"

"I'm glad you understand," Shang Baochang softened his tone when he saw that his son seemed to have really come to his senses.

"I have no objection to pursuing Qianqian, but you have to be careful. Uncle Du and I have a special friendship. Don't ruin it all because of your recklessness, otherwise I won't forgive you!"

Shang Zizhe smiled and assured: "Dad, don't worry, I will treat Qianqian sincerely and will definitely win her over!"

Speaking of Shangjinyuan Jewelry, it is a company that mainly deals in gold and silver jewelry and handicrafts. Although it has eight stores and a factory in Hangzhou, it has invested more in the jade field and has higher technical requirements.

In contrast, jadeite only accounts for a small part, which makes the company's position in the industry not outstanding. However, these three jade pendants have become treasures in Shang Baochang's hands, enough to attract the attention of many customers.

The first place Zhou Qi and his party visited was the company's factory, where machines were roaring and workers were busy polishing and carving. Every piece of work embodied the sweat and wisdom of the craftsmen.

Although the environment is a bit messy, it is generally organized.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think? My factory is pretty good, right?" Shang Baochang said with some pride.

Zhou Qi smiled and replied, "It can be seen that Mr. Shang manages the company very well. He must have put in a lot of effort to reach the scale it is today."

In fact, Zhou Qi was interested in Shang Baochang's factory mainly because of the raw stone he had missed in Diancheng before. It was a very precious stone. After getting it, he certainly hoped to turn it into wealth.

However, since he was not familiar with the jewelry industry, he considered looking for a partner. Through his relationship with Du Bowen, Shang Baochang naturally became the first choice.

However, the scene before him made him realize that his expectations might be a little too high.

“Hehehe…” Shang Baochang didn’t notice Zhou Qi’s thoughts and laughed: “To be honest, I put all my thoughts on the company and almost live here!”

Zhou Qi chuckled softly, pointed to a large machine next to him and asked, "Boss Shang, what is this machine used for?"

In the huge workshop, there is only this conspicuous new machine.

When Shang Baochang heard about the machine, he immediately became excited: "I spent a lot of money to import this equipment from abroad - a laser engraving machine!

The technology of foreigners is really admirable. It used to take a long time to carve a jade plaque by hand, but now this machine can complete hundreds of them in just a few minutes.

The only drawback is that a lot of material will be wasted, so the best materials should still be carved by hand, and the inferior ones can be processed by machines.”

"This is done to better develop the market. Everything must be prepared in advance. In addition, I also plan to vigorously develop the jade business and participate in the rough stone auction in Diancheng to find more good materials."

Zhou Qi nodded in agreement: "I hope that Mr. Shang will be able to return with a full load on this trip, not only bringing back high-quality raw materials, but also discovering some top-quality materials."

"Haha, then I'm grateful for your good words, Mr. Zhou!" Shang Baochang responded with a big laugh.

After visiting the factory, Shang Baochang warmly invited Zhou Qi to visit the main store of Shang Jinyuan Jewelry. He hoped that through this visit, Zhou Qi would know more about Shang Jinyuan Jewelry, after all, he wanted to invite Zhou Qi to be the brand spokesperson.

Faced with such a cordial invitation, Zhou Qi could not refuse, so he decided to follow Shang Baochang's arrangement.

Shang Jinyuan Jewelry’s flagship store is located in the busiest commercial street in Hangzhou. The store is spacious and luxuriously decorated, and it is obvious that a lot of money has been invested.

There are quite a few customers in the store carefully selecting goods, and it seems that business is quite good.

Seeing Shang Baochang coming, the employees came forward to greet him, and Shang Baochang responded one by one with a smile.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a man and his face immediately darkened.

It’s Liu Zhaoqing!

Although Liu Zhaoqing's Jinyutang Jewelry Company is not in Hangzhou, it has been making frequent moves here in recent years, and the competition between the two has long been fierce. Shang Baochang's mood can be imagined when he suddenly met Liu Zhaoqing in his own store.

From the moment Shang Baochang entered the door, Liu Zhaoqing's eyes were fixed on him.

Seeing Shang Baochang looking over, Liu Zhaoqing raised a smile, walked slowly closer, and said softly: "Long time no see, don't you recognize me? Or are you surprised to see me?"

"What are you doing here?" Shang Baochang asked in a cold tone.

"I was passing by and came in to take a look. Is there any problem?" Liu Zhaoqing smiled.

"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. I came here to learn about the situation of my competitors. But now it seems that I am wasting my time.

It is still the same as it was two years ago. There has been no improvement at all."

"That's not the case." Shang Baochang retorted.

"I heard that you recently bought a laser engraving machine." Liu Zhaoqing continued.

"You spent a lot of money, didn't you? Do you have enough money to attend tomorrow's auction? If you don't have money, you can tell me, I am willing to take over your shop."

Shang Baochang stared at Liu Zhaoqing and smiled coldly: "You can't beat me in a head-on fight, so you start to use this method of provoking me. How despicable."
