Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 521: Apologizing?

"What? He actually found something?"

Wayne, sitting on the sofa with a look of utter shock, listened to his assistant’s report.

That shouldn’t be possible! He had had the land checked with a detector in the past, and although the soil indeed looked like it could contain minerals, it turned out to be barren.

This is what they call a "false mine," or deceiving land, which has led many mining tycoons to unwittingly purchase such land, ultimately leading to their bankruptcy and liquidation.

But how did they find diamonds this time?

"Mr. Wayne, there’s no mistake about this news, and the vein is vouched for by dozens of geological experts. You know, those university professors value their reputation more than their life,"

the assistant said softly, "And John has already held a press conference on site. The excavated soil indeed contains diamonds, albeit small and scarce, but it’s believed that with further digging, they’ll definitely unearth what they’re looking for."

"Damn!"

Wayne, the vice president, stood up furiously and hurled the water glass in his hand to the ground!

"There’s also another thing. The board sent a message today, questioning why you haven’t chosen a partner company yet and demanding that you send the information of the partner to the headquarters within a week."

Upon hearing this, the raging Wayne immediately deflated.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to choose, but that no one was giving him the opportunity to collaborate!

What should have been a fantastic start turned into a situation where all businessmen seem anxious when facing him, even rejecting him at the door during personal visits!

And he had experienced all this firsthand!

He didn’t understand Hua Country at all!

He thought that with his channels of influence, he would be unstoppable here!

But unfortunately, with Song Yun standing in his way, no one dared to make a move lightly.

"Mr. Wayne, do you want to report your difficulties in Hua Country to the board?"

"No! You know it! Those shareholders at the board are nothing but bloodsucking capitalists! If I don’t show any progress, they’ll definitely have me recalled! And that means I’ll end up on their blacklist!"

Wayne cried out emotionally, "Tell the board that everything is going smoothly, that I’ve simply found a better candidate and am in negotiations with them, and ask the board to give me a few more days!"

"Very well, as you wish!"

The assistant bowed and exited the room.

"What to do, what to do, what to do!!!"

Wayne smoked nervously, pacing back and forth in the room, by now completely overwhelmed. The Hua Country market definitely wouldn’t accept him in the short term!

If he returned to headquarters with this news, he believed the other executives who were competing against him would not hesitate to tear him to shreds!

He did not want to be fired!

So...

Should he go to Song Yun to seek his forgiveness?

Even if they could not work together, maintaining a good relationship was crucial to keep other businessmen from having too many reservations!

No sooner had he thought it than he acted, making a call to start negotiating with the middle-aged man who had acted as an intermediary before.

When the man heard his intentions, he said with a laugh, "Mr. Wayne, you’ve finally seen the light. I believe with your sincere apology, Mr. Song Yun will surely forgive you."

"Hmm, I hope to see Song Yun today. Can you arrange that for me? If you can, you’ll have the friendship of the DeRue Diamond Group on your side!"

"Leave it to me!"

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

The middle-aged man personally drove Wayne to the Hua Capital Villa.

After they rang the doorbell, a security personnel opened a crack and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I’m here to see Miss Ye Qingqing."

The middle-aged man said with a warm smile, "I’ve been friends with Miss Ye for quite some time; I’ve come to visit my niece."

"Please wait a moment."

After the security personnel closed the door, he contacted Huang Baoding through the intercom. It was only after getting Song Yun’s permission that the two were able to enter the villa.

In the living room, Song Yun and Ye Qingqing sat on the sofa, waiting for the arrival of their guests.

When Wayne’s sulky face caught Song Yun’s eye, he knew that whoever came to visit Qingqing was most likely a mediator!

"Qingqing, you’ve grown even more beautiful since I last saw you."

The middle-aged man walked up and said cheerily.

"Uncle Xu, long time no see."

Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "And who is this gentleman?"

"He is Mr. Wayne, the Vice President of DeRue Diamond Group. He’s heard about your diamond discovery and has specifically come to pay a visit."

As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, Ye Qingqing understood the purpose of the visit.

She nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, I’m not feeling very well, so I will go upstairs to rest. Please let my husband, Song Yun, receive you in my stead."

"Of course, of course, your health is the most important; go and rest."

When only the three men were left downstairs, Wayne couldn’t resist saying, "Mr. Song, I apologize for what I said before. I was somewhat arrogant!"

"Heh, Mr. Wayne, you’re too modest; your words had their merit."

With a hint of sarcasm, Song Yun said, "Now that I’ve discovered a diamond mine, we will be colleagues in the future. Please take good care of me!"

"This..."

Wayne muttered uncomfortably, "Definitely, definitely..."

"Heh, how come the atmosphere has suddenly become so awkward?"

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "Song Yun, I didn’t come here today with any other intent but to mediate an agreement."

"Heh, well then, since everyone has spoken frankly, let’s have a proper talk. Since we’re discussing mediation, what price are you willing to pay?"

Song Yun leaned back leisurely and said, "Do you really think that a brief apology will suffice? You must know that I’m now entering the jewelry industry, and DeRue Diamond Group will be a direct competitor! Why should I open the gates wide for the opposition?"

"Heh, what you say is not right. As the saying goes, ’Better to settle a feud than to persist with it.’ We are all businessmen, and amicability leads to wealth, doesn’t it?"

The middle-aged man nudged Wayne with his elbow and said, "We certainly came prepared to apologize properly; Mr. Wayne, please continue."

Wayne was, at this point, completely confused. What? A proper apology?

Wasn’t it agreed upon before coming that everything would be resolved with an apology?

And now they are expected to pay a price?

It can only be said that Wayne didn’t understand Hua Country well at all. He really thought an apology meant just that.

Thus, for a moment, everyone was silent.

"Mr. Wayne?"

The middle-aged man forced a smile, tugging at the corner of his mouth and said, "You are pondering how to compensate Mr. Song, right?"

"Right, right, let me think!"

Wayne, with a pained expression, pondered for a while and then cautiously said, "Since Mr. Song has already decided to enter the jewelry industry, why don’t we join forces? I can introduce you to many industry magnates, and this is all about connections. How about it?"
