Steve had also humiliated her in the morning by talking about her Instagram post, and he began to question the authenticity of what she had said at the shareholders' meeting.
She finally managed to get away with it by saying that young people have bad tempers and are still quarreling with her.
Nie Tao came over and mentioned this to her again. It would be strange if Nie Qingru could be in a good mood.
Nie Tao was not good at reading people's faces, and he didn't notice Nie Qingru's extremely ugly face. He lowered his voice and said half admonishingly and half teachingly: "Dad asked me to tell you, when dealing with a young person like this, don't force her to bow her head blindly. You still have to coax her when it's time to coax her!"
"What on earth do you want from me?" Nie Qingru had heard these words more than once, her ears were callused from hearing them, and she interrupted him with an impatient look on her face.
She didn't believe that Nie Tao came here just to tell her these things. She really didn't want to waste time with him, nor did she want to argue with him here and make a fool of herself in front of others.
"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't want to talk, you can just leave."
Nie Tao's face was long: "The annual jewelry competition is coming soon, and our family must participate, but we don't have good materials this year, so we are inevitably not confident. In addition, the order that the R royal family placed with us before also needs raw materials, so I went to find Qiao Nian..."
"What?"
Nie Qingru interrupted him and his face suddenly darkened.
"Who did you say you were going to see?"
Nie Tao was dissatisfied with her excitement, frowned, and answered reluctantly: "I went to find Qiao Nian's men, David from F Continent."
"He has a very good relationship with Qiao Nian. It is said that he is one of the elders of the Red Alliance. In other words, he is one of Qiao Nian's subordinates."
"I talked to him yesterday and planned to purchase diamonds from him. On the one hand, it would be useful for this jewelry competition, and on the other hand, it would be able to arrange the orders on hand."
As a family that has accumulated wealth for generations, the Nie family is not short of money. Their insistence on retaining the jewelry business is actually a disguised way of continuing the family's original wealth.
The inheritance of a family must not be cut off.
Nie Tao looked at Nie Qingru, frowned, and said in a straightforward tone: "Don't worry, I didn't ask for it in vain. I said I would give them the money."
Nie Qingru was nearly angered by him. She grabbed the edge of the desk with her left hand until her knuckles turned white, and only then did she control herself from exploding.
“How much do you give them?”
"37 to 37."
"… "
Nie Qingru was too lazy to ask him who was 3 and who was 7.
Because she had already guessed the conditions that Nie Tao proposed to others.
As expected, Nie Tao immediately told her, "David replied to me this morning and said he didn't agree to cooperate. Dad wanted you to talk to Qiao Nian. After all, this jewelry competition is very important to us. It's your first competition since you stepped down from the position of queen. If you lose the title of first place, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
"Can't you get first place based on your own strength?" Nie Qingru said unhappily.
Nie Tao was so embarrassed by her words that he pulled the collar of his suit and said in a muffled voice: "It's easy for you to say, but the jewelry competition is not as simple as you think."
"Everyone has a background, and everyone competes for background. Who only looks at ability?"
"… "
Nie Qingru didn't want to argue with him about whether international jewelry competitions depend on strength or background, so she just told him: "I can't help you."
Nie Tao endured for a long time, and finally became unhappy after hearing her answer: "Qingru, what do you mean? You can solve the problem with just your mouth, but you are unwilling to help your family... Dad..."
