Chapter 1379 A Golden Opportunity
The officers had Emmeline review the statement, and after she signed and stamped it, they left without even drinking any water during the entire process.
Emmeline then told her parents and Abel briefly about Ysabel’s situation, along with her speculations.
Abel and Maxwell both agreed that it couldn’t be that simple. Criminals never leave anything on the surface, and police officers’ jobs aren’t so easy.
At that, Emmeline wondered, Where has Ysabel gone? Well, I hope she’s safe.
After dinner, Emmeline took out the jade thumb ring from the three “antiques” she had acquired during her last treasure hunt.
She said to Abel, I’ve been wanting to give you this for a while. I didn’t clean it up properly last time, but now it’s all good.”
Without
any explanation, she pulled Abel’s right hand and placed the jade thumb ring on his thumb.
“This is a precious item used by the great heroes who roamed the vast grasslands and shot eagles with their bows. It’s from a specific era and a genuine find,” she said.
“Specific era, genuine find? You’re just pulling my leg, aren’t you?” Abel laughed.
As long as Emmeline was happy, he didn’t mind at all.
Emmeline wore a mischievous smile and said, “I was indeed making it up.”
“You can fool me all you want.” Abel laughed. “But if it’s against those antique experts, you’ll be in trouble.”
Emmeline played with the “jade figurine” and the “jade cicada” in her hand and said to Abel, “Could you help me find out where I can consult an expert in antique appraisal? I want to know what these two items
are.”
“These are just children’s toys,” Abel teased her. “Keep them for fun.”
Emmeline pouted. “I’ve looked at them a hundred times and researched a lot of information. These two items seem rather extraordinary, especially this jade cicada. It’s been carved in a specific style. I just don’t know if these two items are modern forgeries or genuine antiques.”
Abel, impressed by her knowledge and seriousness, nodded and said, “I got it. I’ll ask around and see if there’s an antique appraisal expert.”
Emmeline then broke into a joyful smile and planted a quick kiss on his check.
The next day. Abel and Emmeline headed back to Altney downtown. Abel dropped Emmeline off at RetroWave Advertisements and then headed to the factory.
Recently, there were rumors about the factory’s contracting matters, saying that the factory manager held centralized power and the four workshops were individually contracting with the factory employees. It was unclear whether this was true or not. If it were, would this contracting method benefit or harm the future development of the factory?
Samples of the smoothie blender cover had already been produced in the workshop. After various tests, there were discrepancies with the data provided by Paul Abel called Paul about this issue.

Paul said, “I suggest you temporarily hire a technical expert from Oakheart or Goulcrest to go over there. Sometimes, the problem might be lying just under the surface.”
“That’s a good idea.” Abel nodded. “It seems our technology is not up to par.”
Paul continued, “Last time we talked about taking orders, you might consider launching your own brand. Do you have any leads now?”
“We have a contracting proposal for the factory, but it hasn’t been finalized yet. Once the timing is right, I’ll start working on it.”
“Great!” Paul said. “We’ve known each other for some time, and I hope to see your new development. The business transformation is a good opportunity. You can confidently pursue it, and I’ll support you with
orders!”
