Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1245

The pearls were almost uniform in size and shape, and each had a beautiful luster. Just by looking at them, he knew the quality was top-notch.

While he was happy with the quality and quantity of the pearls, he also felt worried. If he sold these pearls to Houzi, it would definitely rouse suspicion.

Even if he was sure Houzi wouldn’t investigate their source, it might attract unwanted attention from other middlemen in the black market.

While lost in thought, his hands continued moving steadily and nimbly. In fifteen minutes, he harvested another mussel.

As for Chen Jianmin, this was his first time learning how to harvest pearls from a living mussel, so his movements were slower for fear of injuring or killing it accidentally.

It took him half an hour to harvest the pearls from one mussel. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at the pearls in the bamboo basket and smiled.

To maintain the quality of the pearls, Dong Li placed a wet fabric underneath them to prevent cracking.

While the two of them were busy harvesting pearls, Liu Piao, Liu Hua, and Wang Muxiao were sitting in the production team’s meeting room.

Across the table sat members of the Huang family and the 10th production team’s leader, Old Zhao.

Besides them, Han Yuheng and Comrade Han were also present, sitting on another side of the table. Comrade Han was tasked with recording the meeting, while Han Yuheng served as the mediator. _{freёwebnovel.com}

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere as the Huang family glared at Liu Piao. Despite their hostility, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua drank their water nonchalantly.

After a long silence, Old Zhao finally spoke and broke the silence, "Xiao Han, I have come today to apologize for what my team members did. It was due to my lack of supervision that some people kept causing trouble at your place."

Hearing his words, Han Yuheng smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I’m also at fault for not resolving this matter sooner."

When he said that, Old Zhao smiled and thought, ’Fortunately, An Xuyuan isn’t the one attending the meeting today. Otherwise, there would be no way to settle this matter peacefully.’

When Wang Muxiao heard their words, she glanced at them and said with a chuckle, "Comrade Zhao, you don’t think we will just let this matter go with a simple apology, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Huang slammed the table, pointed at her, and asked angrily, "Wang Muxiao, my family’s work points have already been deducted as punishment, and we have apologized. What more do you want?"

Hearing this, Liu Hua pointed back at her and retorted, "Your Huang family is really shameless. It was your fault in the first place for spreading rumors and smashing my sister’s house."

"Being punished and apologizing are things you ought to do, yet you talk as if we should be thanking you for it. Do you think just because you apologized, we have to forgive you? Do you think your face is coated with gold?" she asked sharply.
