Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When Alice heard Jacob's introduction, her heart sank to the bottom the sea. Jacob said that she was

his friend. After spending so many years with him in such a young age, he said that she was just his

friend. Anyone who encountered such a thing had the reason to be heartbroken.

"Hello, Uncle James. Nice to meet you."

James nodded. He captured the expression on her face, but it was puzzling for him to see such a sad

expression on Alice's face. After a minute, James seemed to understand everything in an instant.

The story of Jacob and his first girlfriend had always been spread in the elders in the family. Of course,

everyone was very interested in the inheritor's girlfriend. Later, Jacob got married in a flash, and of

course, Sara was not the legendary girlfriend. Then Alice standing in front of him would be her.

James observed Jacob's expression and couldn't capture the sign of the so-called triangle relationship.

It could be seen from the admiration in Alice's eyes that she liked Jacob. As for Jacob, his admiration

would only be shown when he saw Sara. Jacob's choice was already clear.

James nodded his head in silence. He would talk about this with Jacob during the dinner. He was afraid

that new problems may arouse if he brought the problem forward now.

Moreover, James was never quite interested in commenting on other's love affairs. No one other that

the people in love could tell their situation. It usually happened that people who thought themselves as

reasonable bystanders finally became more of a hindrance than a help in a relationship. Thinking of

this, James wore a smile on his face and talked to Alice, "Miss Alice, what's your job right now?"

James's eyes revealed the wisdom of a smart man, but there was no aggressiveness in them. After all,

the girl in front of him was also a poor person in the affection.

Alice was unwilling to admit herself outdone. She tried her best to pretend as if he was talking about

the affair of someone else. "I'm running a jewelry store at present. I have to thank Jacob for his help on

the jewelry store. "

James squinted his eyes and felt a little disgusted. Sometimes it just took several words from getting

acquaintance with someone to knowing her. And just in that several words, you may feel unwilling to

have contact with her anymore in your life. Alice was such a person. James sighed.

"Oh, I'm quite interested in jewelry stores. Over the years, I have traveled to many places and seen a

lot of fresh people and things. But my love for jewelry had never changed. " James tantalized her, but

showed no trace of doing that.

At this time, Jacob stood up and said to James and Alice, "Let's start the meal first and talk while

eating."

Alice nodded. She found that she was here not for dinner, but for questioning. But it didn't matter as

long as Jacob was happy.

"Okay." Alice stood up and looked at James with a smile.

The three of them came to the table in the kitchen. Jacob said to Alice, "I know you like strong favors,

so I asked Winnie to add more salt than usual. I'm fine with that. What about Uncle James? "

James shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter. Everything should be based on the needs of

the guests. I can eat anything."

Hearing this, Alice felt nervous. Her impression in the mind of James was greatly lowered. With a fake

smile, she said, "Since I knew that too much salt is not good for my health, I have rarely eaten salt

anymore."

Jacob frowned and didn't know how to answer. Alice found that she had said something wrong again,

and the atmosphere was a little subtle. Alice turned to James and said, "Uncle, what do you want to

know about the jewelry store? What about the most precious treasure in the store?"

James scooped a bowl of soup and took a sip. He raised her eyes and said in surprise, "Oh, tell me,

what's the most precious treasure in the shop?"

Alice smiled, knowing that she had succeeded in raising his interest. "We have a South African

diamond weighed 188 carats exhibited in the store. But it's not for sale. "

James's eyes shone strangely. "Oh, is there really such a big diamond from South Africa? This is really

rare. "

"Please pardon my ignorance, uncle. Normally speaking, few diamonds of this size could be seen in

the world, it's really lucky for our store to have one. Someone has bid more than 1 billion dollars for the

diamond, but don't want to sell it as a good. I thought that if I don't sell it, it would always bring

popularity for our store. " Alice couldn't help but feel a little proud. Many people came to her store just

to have a look at the diamond. At last, they just bought something else and left bitterly.

James squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something. The girl in front of him was indeed very

smart, but her smartness was too obvious and superficial. The smarter you looked like, the more hatred

and jealous you may incur.

"I didn't expect that you should be so talented at such a young age. I really admire you." While praising

Alice, James was worried about the situation of Sara. It would be better for such a powerful person to

be a friend, but it would be difficult for an enemy.

Alice was happy and looked at Jacob with a smile. Lowering his head, Jacob kept eating and answered

casually, "Uncle is right. You're really smart."

Alice said in a modest manner, "I'm just a freshman in jewelry industry. Comparing with you two who

have been doing business for a long time, my strategy must be too common to mention. Uncle, you

don't have to be so polite to me. "

James nodded and laughed, "It's my fault. I've been too aloof with you."

His laugh relieved her a lot. She continued, "I haven't eaten the food cooked by Winnie for a long time.

I miss it very much."

Winnie, who was standing aside, didn't say anything. That was not what she said before.

Jacob picked up some food for her and said, "Then eat more."

Alice was touched. It seemed that Jacob was still caring about her.

"By the way, Alice, do you have any particularly powerful competitors in your jewelry store?" Jacob

asked with understatement.

Alice didn't know what Jacob was up to. Why did he ask this question? Would he really take back his

jewelry store? With a guilty conscience, she lowered her voice.

"Well, there will be corresponding competitions in all walks of life, and of course, the jewelry industry is

no exception. All in all, the jewelry industry is monopolizing, but we are not familiar with it. " Alice began

to be confused. After all, she was an outsider.

"Oh, I see. What about your supply channels? " Jacob seemed to be interested. It was the first time

that he knew jewelry industry was a monopoly industry. The new knowledge made Jacob a little

excited.

"Well, each directly operated store has its own supply channel. Especially for some precious jewelry.

Usually they could be met but couldn't be seek. In order to get that supply, special channel is need. As

a freshman in this industry, I've only learned a little about this. " Alice picked up the glass of water and

took a sip. It was the first time that she felt this dish a little too salty.

"Oh, I've heard of it before. I heard that once the supplier is confirmed, it will not change easily. " James

suddenly said and wiped his mouth with a napkin next to him.

Alice's face lit up with complacency. "That's true. Fortunately, when I took over the shop, the previous

owner gave me a channel to purchase goods. Otherwise, I would have been shut down the store now.

"
