Candice Yancey had barely hung up on Amadeus Yancey when she received a gift delivered by Jethro Yapiter.
There were a dozen or so boxes laid out on the padauk office desk, and Candice Yancey's assistant was dumbfounded, staring blankly as she opened the boxes.
A limited edition bracelet from SEVEN.
A limited edition ring from SEVEN.
...
Without exception, all items were limited editions from SEVEN, the price—well, let's not put a figure on it, each was at least a seven-figure sum.
A dozen or so boxes, when totaled, also amounted to an eight-figure sum.
The assistant was quite worldly himself; an eight-figure sum did not seem extraordinarily large to him, but it was certainly substantial.
At first, he was able to comment, "Mr. Yancey, why has Pinecone Group suddenly sent you such expensive gifts? Could they be thinking of seeking cooperation with us?"
But Pinecone Group was in the business of jewelry and real estate, while their business was in new energy.
