Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 503 - 307 questioning the suspect??_2

Previously, he felt that digging for diamonds for half a year and only finding a fossil that had to be handed over to the government was a bit of a loss, but now it seemed like a small gesture of reciprocation for the mayor of Pus City, well worth it...

Mysteriously getting close to "golden thighs," the New Year seemed promising.

In the Wealthy District, influential figures were all discussing this matter today.

But they didn’t yet know, or even Xia Xian himself didn’t know, that among the connections he inadvertently made... the mayor of Pus City was far from the most powerful...

The view switched back to the Xia Family. There was a barrier between domestic news and that from the border; sensational news at the border did not reach the interior at all.

The Xia couple were still busy visiting relatives.

Being a prominent family in Capital City, the Xia family had climbed another rung last year in every aspect.

This year’s New Year was busier than ever, with Mrs. Wu and Wang Dahai busy all day long.

Visitors to the Xia house came in waves; the eldest son and third son were not at home, and the second son was busy with various interviews after the Spring Festival Gala. Eventually, Xu He stayed home to entertain the guests, while Yuzheng went to visit elders like Mrs. Jiang and Elder Jiang.

Because there was too much going on, tacitly, neither of the couple visited the old house to see Qiao Yufen this year.

They only made a phone call for the New Year.

Right then, Xu He had just sent off a group of guests and sat down to open her computer to look at the partnership template sent by her assistant from Paris.

Little Tiangao conveyed Jiang Xuan’s thoughts, telling her to contact Jiang Xuan directly if she needed anything.

She had contacted him yesterday, and CEO Jiang readily said to send him the design requirements directly and to leave out talk of money.

Despite seemingly naïve in everyday affairs, Xu He was anything but confused when it came to actually getting things done.

Especially concerning matters related to Little Tiangao.

CEO Jiang was willing to facilitate connections because she was Little Tiangao’s mother, but if she were to blatantly rely on CEO Jiang for her own convenience, she would be diminishing Little Tiangao’s standing in CEO Jiang’s heart.

Although that wasn’t actually the case.

But Xu He still did things by the book, instructing her assistant to perfect the partnership template first.

The Xia family had done well in business last year, but couldn’t afford to be wasteful; she didn’t make any grand promises of "settling the design fee at whatever the other party asks," but she also showed her full sincerity in wanting to cooperate.

She sent the template to Jiang Xuan, and having received it, he didn’t insist further and quickly replied, "Alright, I will convey Mrs. Xia’s intentions."

Xu He politely thanked him.

She hadn’t expected CEO Jiang to know such a capable designer, and it seemed they had a good relationship.

It felt like designers were very steadfast in their own ideas, generally not liking to associate with businessmen.

Like her husband, completely clueless about art, naturally he had no friends in that circle, his life revolving around business or tending to his plants and flowers. Mention a great artist like T.D. to him, and he wouldn’t be able to appreciate it.

"Sir, you’re home! No guests right now, I’ll make you some tea..."

As Mrs. Wu’s voice traveled from the entrance, Yuzheng’s footsteps approached, and his figure appeared at the living room entrance: "Xiaohe, still busy with the clothing store?"

Seeing her husband, who lacked any semblance of an artistic aura, Xu He wore a somewhat warm smile: "Just finished. Hungry? Should I make you something to eat?"

Yuzheng took off his thick wool coat and handed it to the maid, sitting down next to Xu He: "Not hungry, not hungry. Too many banquets over the New Year, these days are good for a little break."

Xu He smiled, checking her phone’s memo, deleting the elders her husband visited today from the list, then she checked and said, "Oh dear, we’ve totally forgotten to call Chief Fu..."

Yuzheng also just remembered, pondering for a moment, "Chief Fu is always so busy, probably doesn’t rest during the New Year either. Visiting would just disturb him; I’ll try calling him instead."

Xu He said, "Good, call now."

Yuzheng dialed the number, but nobody picked up. Just as he was about to hang up, not wanting to disturb, the other side answered.

Yuzheng said, "Happy New Year, Chief Fu, this is Yeye’s dad. No particular reason, just calling to wish you a happy new year, you must still be pretty busy..."

Chief Fu was polite on the other side, occasionally speaking to an officer, indicating he was in the station: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, it’s always like this, gotten used to it haha..."

Both sides exchanged courtesies, neither mentioned Xia Ye’s case, but it was not forgotten by either.

After hanging up, Yuzheng shook his head slightly at Xu He.

Meanwhile, Chief Fu looked troubled, a nearby officer curiously asked, "Chief Fu, was that Mr. Xia’s call? Haven’t we already found the organization that took the rare element from the O Alliance Medical Summit? There’s been progress, why not tell Mr. Xia?"
