Chapter 212: Getting Ready For Launch
"Young Miss," he greeted with a curt nod, and Rong Yue gave him a small smile.
Since he came to settle some matters in City A ahead of her, Qin Yichen just called to inform Lu San about her flight details.
"I didn\'t inform your mother about your arrival," Lu San told her before starting the car. He wasn\'t sure whether she wanted to surprise her mom or not.
Rong Yue was also glad that he hadn\'t slipped and nodded in approval.
"That\'s fine, I\'ll like to surprise her when she gets back from the flagship store."
"How is the progress? It should have gotten to the final stages by now?" Rong Yue asked, diverting the topic to work.
Since he left, Lu San had been unreachable, and she wasn\'t able to ask him what the problem was.
On the other hand, the project manager that she had hired for the work itself had told her that everything was going on well. Because of this, she couldn\'t help but wonder what was happening exactly.
What was the difficulty that made Lu San rush down?
Also, she had plans to make a lot of progress on the matter in the next few days. That way, the trips she would make to City A would reduce by a lot in the future.
Using the influence of the Fox Alliance, the first supply of raw stones and some ores would arrive in a few days. Since she was here, she would also have a chance to supervise it.
"Yes. Before, Master wanted us to use a certain type of material as the final coating because of the things we would be handling, they ran out of supply some few days ago, but the new batch arrived late last night…."
Like that, Lu San gave a full explanation on everything that had been happening.
By this time, Rong Yue was already used to Qin Yichen\'s way of handling things.
He would do everything to get the best for her and then say nothing about it.
But even now, she couldn\'t help the warmth that crept into her heart.
She didn\'t want to make a mistake like she did in her last life, but at the same time, Qin Yichen was a man she couldn\'t help herself from trusting.
At most, she would work hard and bring herself to the top again. This way, nothing would be able to bring her down.
They soon arrived at the warehouse, and Rong Yue\'s mouth couldn\'t help but open wide in surprise.
She looked at Lu San with a stunned expression. "What is this?"
Didn\'t he say he was having some difficulty with some supplies?
Not only was there no difficulty. The entire building was complete and standing tall!
Rong Yue kept looking at the building and then at Lu San, that had a faint smile on his face.
"Master made me keep it a secret from you." He said sheepishly.
"At first, we had planned to finish it by next week but you suddenly mentioned that you wanted to go home before the launch of infinity so he had me rush down here to oversee everything."
Hearing his words, Rong Yue closed her eyes for a second, and she couldn\'t help getting overwhelmed.
From a glance, she could tell that the final building had even exceeded what she had in mind.
The more she looked at it, the more she couldn\'t help her eyes from getting teary.
Without thinking, her hands already dialled his familiar number and it was only when the call connected and he spoke through the phone.
"Yue\'er, what\'s the matter?" Qin Yichen\'s calm and deep baritone rang out from the speaker.
His voice jolted Rong Yue back from her thoughts, and she couldn\'t help but clench her hands around the phone one more time.
"Qin Yichen, thank you…" She had so many things to say, and there were so many emotions in her heart at the moment, but she couldn\'t even bring her emotions into her words.
But the man on the other end of the call could already tell from the crack of her voice.
"Haven\'t you agreed to stop saying thank you?"
"But…" Before she could say anything, Qin Yichen interrupted again.
"I only moved the time forward. In the end, it\'s all your work.."
Rong Yue didn\'t reply, and her eyes were fixed on the building that had about five floors.
In the remote area, it stood tall and firm, with many men standing around as guards.
If one didn\'t know better, one would think it was some underground base for illegal dealings.
Eventually, she sighed and then pulled the phone from her ears.
Gradually, she would learn how to express herself with him.
With Lu San as her guide, the both of them entered the building, and Rong Yue felt that there was no end to how much Qin Yichen had gone for this.
Perhaps, he had even doubled the initial budget that she had with this level of grandeur.
"Miss," Manager Fang Mo greeted as soon as she entered. Clearly, he had been called here by Lu San.
"I didn\'t expect the construction to finish so soon. Thankfully, I had already finished work based on the instructions that you gave me," he added right after with a slight smile.
"Hmmm, you should also get an assistant. Although Lyfe wouldn\'t need you as much, it would still have its effect on your time,"
Manager Fang Mo nodded in understanding and quickly scribbled things down on his notepad.
After looking at the first two floors and being satisfied with what she saw, Rong Yue turned back to talk to Manager Fang Mo. "Let me hear the plan you drafted based on the document I sent to you,"
"Based on the type of customer and the type of stones, access cards would be provided to every customer."
"Also, to prevent spies, we would have customers based on a subscription. This means that any company that wants to get rare stones from us must go through a certain level of scrutiny before they are accepted.
"The most important thing is that every member only has the opportunity to upgrade their card once in a year."
Rong Yue nodded in approval as she saw that he understood her goal.
It was a competitive industry, and she couldn\'t allow every company to have the same supply level. If she did this, she would attract hatred from the higher companies and they might want to attack.
Because of this, she wanted a system that controlled the amount a certain customer could buy at a certain time.
Companies that were on a low scale could only take the basic card where two stones would be available for purchase every month if they wanted to buy.
The highest was the VIP, and they had access to 10 rare stones in a month.

While the numbers seemed small, just some stones were enough to make a large number o pieces of jewellery, especially in small companies.
Also, many people would only want to buy new ones after they had sold the old ones.
Like this, the number was not too small and at the same time, Rong Yue didn\'t want the supply to be more than the demand. After all, that was the major trick to doing business with the rich.
The three of them discussed as they checked out every floor and Rong Yue gave Manager Fang Mo instructions.
For the things he could handle, he wrote them down. For the ones he couldn\'t yet, he fixed a date to meet with Lu San to discuss matters.
Like this, Lu San was indirectly training her staff for her.
The entire tour took about five hours but it was also very successful because by the time they were done, Manager Fang Mo was ready for the next phase, recruiting and building a team.
Unlike Lyfe and Infinity, this one didn\'t need a large scale marketing, it was after all, a business-to-business model and they didn\'t need to announce it to the world.
That was also why she had picked a rather remote location.
For their customers, they were going to send an invitation to every company that was in this line of business. She knew that the ones around would have no problem. But for the ones that were already big and established, getting them to come would not be easy at all!
As for how they were going to make them come, Rong Yue told Manager Fang Mo to leave matters to her!
"I\'ll send the openings to agencies tomorrow and also pouch some talents from other companies. Since the pay is very competitive, I\'m sure that many people would not mind working for us,"
Rong Yue nodded but still reminded him of the most important part.
"Make sure you do a check on them, you can send the top three candidates for each position to me, I\'ll send you documents on them so that you can review it."
With that promise, Manager Fang Mo nodded eagerly. As long as she could find the information, him looking through them was not a difficult matter.
