Chapter 244 The Lost and Found Jewelry
Nan Xuanwei protected Duan Jinshu and Lu Yuning and brought them to a safe area. Seeing that the scene was still dark, she threw a dozen fireballs into the air to illuminate the place.
Those people in the distance didn't know where the fireball came from, but Duan Jinshu and Lu Yuning saw it very clearly.
With the light, everyone came back to their senses from the panic, and the host and Xiao Qingyan maintained order.
"Oh no! The Menghui Taoyuan jewelry set is missing!" Fang Yan, a friend who opened a design studio with Xiao Qingyan, exclaimed.
The jewelry set worth 80 million has already been booked, and a deposit of 10 million has been received from the other party. If it is lost, they will have to pay 800 million in compensation, and the design studio will go bankrupt.
"How could it be lost? Let's look for it again!" Xiao Qingyan was also anxious. She had spent more than two months on that set of jewelry, and it took more than twenty revisions to finalize it. It took a craftsman three months to complete it. How could it be lost!
"Qingyan, ask someone to close the door. The jewelry is still here. I will help you find it." Nan Xuanwei supported Duan Jinshu, followed by Lu Yuning.
Yes, how could I forget that my sister-in-law is here today? She will definitely help me find the set of Meng Hui Tao Yuan.
After a while, the power was restored at the press conference site, and Nan Xuanwei retracted the fireball as everyone cheered.
"It seemed like there were a few fireballs here just now, why are they gone?"
"Yes, I saw it too. It was more beautiful than a crystal ball. I could see the flames clearly. How come it disappeared?"
"That can't be a will-o'-the-wisp, is it haunted?"
There were all kinds of talk at the scene. Nan Xuanwei handed Duan Jinshu over to Xiao Qingyan and started to investigate the whereabouts of the jewelry.
After five or six minutes, Nan Xuanwei told Xiao Qingyan to send the guests away, as the loss of the jewelry had nothing to do with the guests.
"Qingyan, you stay here with your family. I'll go see the guests off." Fang Yan trotted out and Nan Xuanwei curled her lips. When they were the only ones left in the hall, along with Zhao Junqing and Meng Yunchi, Zhao Junqing asked Nan Xuanwei where the jewelry was.
"Qingyan, how long have you known that partner?"
"We were college classmates and lived in the same dormitory for four years. We had a very good relationship. Of course, she can't compare to us. Is there something wrong with her?"
Nan Xuanwei nodded and was about to speak when Fang Yan returned to the hall: "Qingyan, it's bad. The lady who ordered the jewelry has arrived, but now she can't find the jewelry. What should I do?"
She looked at Xiao Qingyan, and the Xiao family members and Meng Yunchi turned around and looked at Nan Xuanwei.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll go with you. Everything will be fine."
"Your new product launch is over, right? I'm here to pick up the jewelry. Let's exchange the money for the goods." A dozen bodyguards in black surrounded a middle-aged woman with a tough look, short hair, and a simple, well-made silver dress.
When the woman's eyes swept over, Nan Xuanwei could feel her hostility.
"Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry, the set of Meng Hui Tao Yuan is lost." Fang Yan spoke first.
Mrs. Shen looked surprised, but there was an irrepressible smile in her eyes and mouth. Fang Yan turned around and whispered to Xiao Qingyan, "Mrs. Shen paid the deposit, and the fact that the jewelry was lost cannot be concealed. We might as well be nicer, and maybe they will ask for less compensation. What do you think?"
If it weren't for Nan Xuanwei's reminder just now, Xiao Qingyan almost believed her. From college to opening a design studio, she had always been the one taking care of Fang Yan. She even lent her the apartment under her name and didn't take a penny from her in three years.
It can be said that Fang Yan was very lucky to meet her. She didn't have to submit resumes one by one, nor did she have to work hard to please her boss. Some of her clothes and bags were even given by her. Xiao Qingyan really couldn't understand why she wanted to cheat her.
"Okay, we opened the design studio together, so if you want compensation, we'll each pay half. You pay 400 million."
Fang Yan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I can't even come up with 40,000 yuan. You know that my family favors boys over girls. I have to hand over 90% of my salary to my family every month, and the remaining money will take a month to spend!"
"You mean I should be the only one to pay for it? That's not appropriate!"
"Whoever is the legal person should pay the compensation. This is only natural." Mrs. Shen interrupted.
Xiao Qingyan's face changed when she heard her words. She looked directly at Fang Yan and asked word by word, "How did she know that I'm the legal representative of the design studio?"
"I guessed it. When we stand together, I can tell at a glance that you are the boss and I am an employee."
"You're so clean at this time!" Xiao Qingyan is now 100% sure that there is something wrong with Fang Yan.
She was the one who paid for the opening of the design studio, and even so, both of their names were written on the business license. Two months ago, the license was inexplicably soaked in water, and she had to reissue it. Fang Yan only asked the clerk to write Xiao Qingyan's name in the legal person column. She said that she had not contributed a penny over the years, but was receiving two incomes, salary and dividends, and she felt guilty about it. She was already satisfied to be able to work for Xiao Qingyan.
Xiao Qingyan was quite touched at the time, and also because she felt deeply guilty for having neglected her in recent times, she gave her two bags worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and two sets of expensive clothes.
Now it seems that she has been planning to harm herself for a long time.
"Who said that set of jewelry was lost? As Qingyan's partner, you are not looking forward to getting the things back as soon as possible. It's a bit strange that you keep asking her to compensate. People who don't know would think that you have colluded with this lady to cheat Qingyan!" Nan Xuanwei walked to Fang Yan.
She had a narrow space between her eyebrows, three white sclera in her eyes, and a short philtrum, a typical face of a jealous person. However, Fang Yan was quite good at disguising herself, and Xiao Qingyan was carefree, which was why she had been deceived by her for so long.
"You slander me. I know I am an ordinary person and I am not pretty. I am not like you who can make the Xiao family happy with just a face, but I am sincere to Qingyan."
Nan Xuanwei flicked her hands behind her back, and a bug flew out. It flew back again after a moment, using a magic trick to conceal its body. It was carrying a set of jewelry on its back. Nan Xuanwei let it land on Fang Yan's head: "The jewelry was stolen, but someone stole it and colluded with outsiders to cheat the Xiao family and Qingyan."
"Do you have any evidence? If not, you are slandering me!"
"I'll show you the evidence now." Nan Xuanwei snapped her fingers, and Xie Qi moved the jewelry from her head to her arms and quickly left. Fang Yan was so scared when she saw the jewelry suddenly appearing in her arms that she wanted to throw it away. Nan Xuanwei tapped her back twice, and Fang Yan's hands and feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't lift them.
"Qingyan, believe me, I really didn't steal it. She used witchcraft to harm me. How did I offend you that you have to harm me like this?"
"Auntie, the driver who conspired with him has been caught." Zhao Junqing went to catch the man as Nan Xuanwei instructed.
Meng Yunchi checked the surveillance footage and even though someone had deleted the previous footage, Meng Yunchi told them that the footage had been restored.
