People who didn’t know her were filled with curiosity about this legendary lady of the rich and powerful household.
Those who knew her all felt heartbroken for her.
The half-informed could only feel envy.
Luo Qi sighed and, in the end, couldn’t help but dial Ye Ranran’s number.
It only rang twice before the call was answered.
It was a bit noisy on her end, he didn’t know where she was.
"Ranran, where are you now?" Luo Qi asked curiously.
Ye Ranran slightly lowered her head, covering her face with her hand: "I am at the press conference now."
Today was the launch event for the ’Eye of the Clear Spring’ diamond, a product heavily promoted by Jun Mochan for the latter half of the year, naturally, Ye Ranran took it very seriously.
"Am I bothering you?"
"No, is there something you need? Where are you now?" asked Ye Ranran.
"I’m at the hospital, my mother’s illness has relapsed, the doctor said she needs to stay for another two days. I called you because I saw your news on the finance channel and I realized that it has been several days since I last saw you." Luo Qi carefully explained her situation to Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran was her best friend; there was no need to hide whether she was doing well or not.
"I see, you should take good care of your mother. If there’s anything you need, let me know, I’ll come to visit you later." Ye Ranran looked over the now quiet scene.
She signaled to the marketing manager, indicating him to start.
"Yeah, I know. I won’t bother you anymore. Take care." Luo Qi hung up.
After the call, Ye Ranran sat back down.
Recently, she had lost some weight due to her busy schedule, the coat draped over her was about to slip off when she moved.
The person sitting next to her, One, naturally helped to adjust it for her.
During this time, he had been her bodyguard, as well as her assistant. He was becoming adept at handling these tasks.
Ye Ranran didn’t say much, she just watched the stage calmly.
"One hour, and then we can go!" said One.
He did his homework—this kind of launch event usually lasted three hours, but the most important part was the first hour.
All she had to do was sit for one hour.
"Alright," Ye Ranran rarely did not object!
After the opening music, the marketing manager appeared on stage with a microphone.
After a brief introduction, he went straight to the point.
A dazzling, brilliantly blue diamond appeared on the screen, inspiring gasps from the audience.
"This is the Eye of the Clear Spring," said the marketing manager, pointing to the diamond.
Rumbling applause erupted, everyone cheering for the diamond.
It was utterly beautiful!
After the applause, the marketing manager continued, "The reason for the name, The Eye of the Clear Spring, is probably something all of you are curious about."
"Once, I was just as curious..."
"The name wasn’t chosen by me, it was given personally by our CEO."
The sudden mention of Jun Mochan’s name made Ye Ranran’s heart ache, and her usually calm eyes revealed her sorrow.
One, who had been observing her all along, took note of her subtle change in expression.
He clenched his fists.
He didn’t believe his young master was in any danger, but he hadn’t been able to find him either!
So there was only one possibility: someone had deliberately hidden his whereabouts. Who could have such reach?
"’Ran’, originally meaning rule, as in rule over all things! Then, combining it with the color of the diamond, the entirely blue gem resembles the purest water in deep mountain old forests. Eyes are the windows to the soul, enabling one to see a person’s heart. They are an important organ of the human body, so it was named The Eye of the Clear Spring."
