Chapter 366 Mr. Jason and Master Jade
Since Owen's death, the stock price of Mazedew Group had kept falling sharply. So, shareholders and the board of directors were all anxious. The stock of Mazedew Group had been stable over the years, and this had never happened before. Even though it had fallen once because of Owen's divorce half a year ago, he had quickly stabilized it. So, there had been no serious consequences.
It was easier to conquer a country than to defend it. When Steven had decided to retire, he had made Owen the president of the
Mazedew Group, causing many people to bad-mouth the latter. As the saying went, rich families could only last for three generations. The Moore family was powerful, but Steven had handed it over to Owen instead of any of his sons. So, they had been laughed at back then.
Although Owen had conquered the board of directors with his iron fist and good performance after taking the office, many people had doubted him. But now, they all admitted the Mazedew Group would have suffered great losses without him. After all, the stock price of Mazedew Jewelry had fallen to an all-time low because of the suspension of the "Never Lose and Never Forget project.
The "Never Lose and Never Forget” was an antiquities restoration project which had been supported by the official media. So, when it was suspended after Owen's death, many netizens could not accept it.
Mazedew Jewelry was an old jewelry brand established more than 20 years ago. It no longer had advantages in the increasingly competitive market and was in a transition period.
And the "Never Lose and Never Forget’ project was the key point in its transformation. If it failed because of Owen's death, it would be a great disappointment.
No one knew what was going on inside the Mazedew Group. They only knew Mr. Jason, the core figure of the "Never Lose and
Never Forget" project, had left North City and gone to Poya in anger a few days ago. Soon, someone revealed online that Hailey had picked him up and sent him to the Garden of Rose. She had even made Mr. Jason live at her home!
Ms. Newman's move is powerful. She poached Mr. Jason from the Mazedew Group and even let him live in her house! She rocked!"
Mazedew Jewelry and Newman Jewelry are competitors. But Owen has just died. How could Crystaldale blatantly poach Master Jason like this? It's a bit unscrupulous"
You know nothing! Stop talking nonsense! I heard it is the senior management of the Mazedew Group that forced Mr. Jason away. Hailey just kindly took him in."
We don't understand business wars! We're just watching the fun. But I don't understand why she took Mr. Jason to her home. It's too weird.”
They are both surnamed Newman. Are they family?”
"You're thinking too much. They do have the same family name. But it's just a coincidence."
There were different opinions and all kinds of speculation.
Soon, Hailey posted a video on Twitter.
In the video, Hailey and Jason were sitting face-to-face in a small pavilion. They were both holding a bloodstone in one hand, and a carving knife in the other. And there were thick calluses on their slender fingers.
Hailey carved smoothly on the bloodstone with the smallest knife and asked without raising her head, "Grandpa, what are you going to carve today?"
Jason replied, “Unicorn.”
Hailey said, "Well, I'll carve a fabulous wild beast."
Jason chuckled, Let's see who carves faster. The loser will clean the dishes today.”
"I bet you will wash the dishes later."
Jason kept carving while saying, "You little brat! It is me that taught you how to carve. Do you think you can defeat me after becoming Master Jade?"
Hailey replied without stopping caving, "No, I am no match for Mr. Jason."
The video abruptly ended, but it caused an earth-shattering sensation!
"What? What did I see? What did I hear? They are Ms. Newman and Mr. Jason, right?"
What the hell? Does Ms. Newman know how to carve jade? Was she pretending it for the show?"
Are you blind? Can't you see how she is caving in the video? Do you think it is easy to pretend to know how to carve jade? You can have a try. I bet you can't even draw a straight line on a stone! She is very skilled."
Did you hear Mr. Jason call her Master Jade? Is she Master Jade?"
Ms. Newman is Master Jade? You must be kidding me! I can't believe it!"
"I think she is. Look carefully at her hands in the video. There are calluses all over her fingers. She is a pampered rich young lady. Why are there calluses on her hands? She must be carving jade all year
round.”
Don't doubt it anymore. When she first registered her account on Twitter, several well-known jade carving masters followed her.
And some even liked the video just now. She must be Master Jade.”
Oh my god, it's so shocking! Ms. Newman and Mr. Jason are granddaughter and grandfather! Ms. Newman is Master Jade!"
Hailey became a trending topic on Twitter again, and people were heatedly talking about this matter on all kinds of forums. It was supposed to be a matter within the jade carving circle but had attracted a lot of attention and aroused heated discussion online.
After all, both Mr. Jason and Master Jade were gurus in the jade carving world. When they had disappeared from the scene, the entire jade carving world had fallen into a downturn.
No one had expected them to re-appear together or suddenly make their true relationship public.
After watching the video, people stopped blaming Hailey for poaching Mr. Jason from the Mazedew Group. After all, he was her grandfather.
Mr. Jason had taken over Mazedew Jewelry's "Never Lose and Never Forget" project to do them a favor. But those people had bullied him. Hailey could bear to see her grandfather suffer the grievance, so she had brought him back. This should be the truth of the incident.
Soon, Hailey posted another video to show the netizen the double-speed version of the entire competition and wrote,
“Grandfather won, and granddaughter lost. I will live broadcast how I wash the dishes tonight. Sad.
Seeing Mr. Jason win a narrow victory in the video, netizens couldn't help laughing and comforting Hailey.
‘‘You did a good job. A fabulous wild beast is harder than a unicorn. Hailey, don't be sad."
"Mr. Jason is so smug that his eyes are narrowed into slits when he smiles. He looks cute and dots on his granddaughter very much. It's so sweet!"
Those netizens who had had doubts about their relationship and the fact that Hailey was Master Jade before were all speechless now
Then, people began to scold Mazedew Jewelry and made it a trending topic again. They asked them to tell people the truth and invite Mr. Jason back to continue the "Never Lose and Never Forget" project.
Otherwise, even if they completed the project, it would lose its soul without Mr. Jason's participation. If so, netizens would rather Mazedew Jewelry had given up the project.
Anyway, antiquities restoration projects were not limited to Mazedew Jewelry, and Newman Jewelry could do it too!
Seeing the news, the senior management of the Mazedew Group got restless.
In the study, Wade and Jalen walked back and forth anxiously. Then, the former said, “Dad, this is a declaration of war. You must think of a way out!"
