Chapter 1122:1122 Charity Auction
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Reality proved that as long as you wanted to do it, there was nothing you could not do. Although three days were a little tight, Tian Tian still managed to make the set of jewelry. She didn’t have the skills herself, so she contacted a very good craftsman. The craftsman was very challenging and spent three days making a very beautiful set of jewelry.
Tian Tian shared it with Tan Rou the moment she got it. She covered the box with the jewelry tightly, afraid that she would accidentally lose them.
“Xiao Rou, come and take a look. The jewelry we made together is ready.” Tian Tian opened the box.
The golden necklace was inlaid with a blood-red gem. This color of gem was rare, and it was not cheap. One carat cost 70 to 80 thousand.
“Tiantian, these rubies of yours are quite beautiful.” Tan Rou praised.
“Does Xiao Rou like rubies too? I still have a few more. I’ll give them to you next time!” said Tian Tian generously.
Tan Rou didn’t take it. “No need! I was just casually saying. Besides, there are many gemstones here. If you want to make jewelry again, come to me and get it.”
Tian Tian knew that Tan Rou had several gemstone mines, so she didn’t persist. “The next time I want to make a bracelet, I’ll come to you to pick out gemstones.”
“Of course. I’ll find you the biggest and most beautiful gemstone.” Tan Rou said.
They closed the box after reading it and waited for the auction to take it out.
The scale of the charity banquet was not very large, but all of them were well- known figures in the circle; even Mayor Guo had brought his wife.
“When do you plan to start working on the cooperation we discussed last time?” Mayor Guo asked kindly.
“Mayor Guo, it’s almost the new year. Can’tyou let me have a good new year?” Tan Rou replied.
“If I still have to work during the New Year, that’s tragic.”
Mayor Guo rubbed his fingers. “Sigh, then the first thing you have to do after the new year is to deal with our cooperation. I can wait, but the project can’t.”
Since TR had cooperated with the government many times, Tan Rou didn’t want to leave Mayor Guo alone. There were too many things to do this year, and she was too busy. However, the situation next year should be better. The project she wanted to do had been completed. In the next six months, the TR could focus on handling the work arranged by the government.
Tan Rou nodded. “Alright. I’ll deal with the collaboration with you after we return to work after the new year.”
Mayor Guo was very satisfied. “Alright, I’ll go in first.”
“Sure!” Tan Rou said.
A few minutes after Mayor Guo entered, Shen Jing and Zhuang Yan came over. They did not come empty-handed, but with two huge boxes.
When Shen Jing saw Tan Rou, she immediately abandoned her husband and came to Tan Rou with a smile. “Rourou, I haven’t seen you in a long time. Do you miss your mother?”
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were already married. Although they didn’t announce their relationship, they had already called each other’s parents ‘parents’ in private.
Tan Rou said obediently, “Yes, I’ve missed you very much. Yesterday, I told Alt Liu that I’m going to spend the New Year with Mom and Dad this year.”
The Zhuang family had few people, but the Tao family had many people. Therefore, they planned to have New Year’s Eve dinner together this year. It would be more lively with more people.
Shen Jing was very happy. “That’s great! I’ll cook for you guys personally.”
Zhuang Yan also walked over. “Let’s go in and register the auction items first. Rourou, is there anything worth bidding tonight?” he asked Tan Rou.
“Give me some intel in advance, I won’t tell anyone.”
Tan Rou smiled and replied, “Dad, I’m not in charge of the auction items.
Besides, I don’t know which items are valuable and which are not. So, you have to go and see for yourself.”
Shen Jing blamed Zhuang Yan. “What are you thinking about? We’re not here to pick up scraps. This banquet is organized by the old lady. The purpose is not to do charity. Don’t think about fishing for treasures here.”
“Oh, looks like I’ve said something wrong. I’ll take it back!” Zhuang Yan realized that his words were inappropriate.
Shen Jing patted him lightly. “Let’s go in quickly. We don’t want to disturb Rourou’s work here.”
Not long after the two of them entered, Zhuang Liu came.
