Upon hearing what this person said, Mr. Cheng rely chuckled lightly and responded, "Housekeeper Li, this jade is a treasure born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Isn’t it a bit vulgar for the Li family to asure it in terms of money?"
"You..." Upon hearing Mr. Cheng’s words, Housekeeper Li inside seed sowhat angry and loudly retorted, "What’s vulgar or not vulgar? Mr. Cheng, don’t tell you buy jade not to sell it for money, but to donate it to museums for exhibitions?"
Housekeeper Li’s retort left Mr. Cheng sowhat at a loss for words.
Just outside the door, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter, thinking to herself: Inside, the two n... Mr. Cheng, to tell the truth, seems cultured, but in reality, he wants to drive the price down.
As for Housekeeper Li, for so reason, he speaks more bluntly and rudely, but when it cos to business, he doesn’t intend to suppress the price; instead, he wants to conduct serious business.
Therefore, it was quite clear, naturally, that Housekeeper Li was more in line with her own temperant.
"I’m not the seller, I can’t make that decision." Ou Jun’s voice ca from inside, "Wait for the real seller to arrive, then you can talk to her."
Just then, Xia Chuyi was by the door, flashing a smile toward Ou Jun inside.
Ou Jun saw her too.
"Chuyi, are you back?" Ou Jun stepped forward and asked Xia Chuyi, "Have you finished the phone call? Is sothing the matter? Why were you gone for so long?"
Ou Jun’s tone was full of concern.
Seeing this, Xia Chuyi smiled back and said, "It’s nothing. After the call, I took a little stroll around the market."
She explained the reason for her late return.
Hearing her words, Ou Jun’s worries subsided. He nodded and said, "It’s good to take a stroll; the process of uncovering the stone can be quite dull."
As a rough man, a soldier, Ou Jun really had no love for the process of stone cutting.
He stayed here rely to help Xia Chuyi look after things.
Knowing that Xia Chuyi was all right, Ou Jun said, "You’ve co back just in ti; all the jade has been cut out."
He pointed to the completely unveiled, verdant green jade on the table.
Xia Chuyi followed the direction of his pointing and her eyes imdiately lit up.
It had to be said, the piece of jade was truly beautiful and translucent.
Xia Chuyi was overjoyed to see it.
Truly, it was no wonder that won love jewelry; such a sparkling, crystal-clear piece of jade was simply endearing.
It was a pity, though, that this jade had to be sold.
It was just uncertain whether the other pieces of original stone might yield even prettier jade?
Xia Chuyi internally resolved: Next ti, if more beautiful jade is cut, she would keep a part for herself and turn it into jewelry for personal enjoynt.
Ou Jun, unaware of her thoughts, saw her delight and, thinking she was happy about the prospect of making money, imdiately pointed to Mr. Cheng and another middle-aged man present—Housekeeper Li, and introduced them: "Chuyi, these are two buyers who ca after hearing the news."
"One from the Golden Stone Pavilion, Mr. Cheng, and the other from the Jade Carving Workshop, Housekeeper Li."
Having said that, Ou Jun introduced Xia Chuyi to Mr. Cheng and Housekeeper Li: "This is my sister, surnad Xia, as in spring and sumr, and the real owner of the jade; whatever you want to discuss, just talk to her directly."
Then, Ou Jun turned to her and said, "Chuyi, the jade is yours; you make the decision on the sale."
After Ou Jun finished speaking, both Housekeeper Li and Mr. Cheng appeared slightly surprised.
What surprised Housekeeper Li was that the owner of the jade was so young.
As for Mr. Cheng, what amazed him was... Xia Chuyi was actually the owner of the jade?
"Mr. Xia, hello!" The first to speak up was Housekeeper Li.
