Chapter 51: Play? You call this playing?

Fan Yi said from the side, "You can pick a piece to cut open and try it out first. If it doesn't work, you can cut another piece. Anyway, there are so many pieces, it's really not easy for Tangtang to cut and design them all. It seems that our cooperation will take a long time."

Si Tang's thoughts were attracted by the first half of his words.

Si Tang: ...play? You call this playing?

The evil capitalists with great wealth and power!

Si Tang forgot that she was the same.

"...This one." Si Tang came back to his senses and pointed to a piece of rough stone that he had just seen that performed relatively well.

8856 nodded when he heard this, and was about to call someone to deliver the goods when Fan Yi's voice suddenly came from Si Tang's side.

"It's better than that one."

The slender jade-like hand pointed to an inconspicuous piece of rough stone in the corner.

Upon hearing this, Si Tang walked to the side of the raw stone and squatted down to examine it.

The water quality of this piece is quite good, but...

"There's a nasty streak here..." Si Tang pointed at a dark streak that ran almost the entire length of the stone, frowning slightly. "Most people would think it's ruined."

"This is the mark of 'moss eating green'." Si Tang's finger slid across an inconspicuous small pit next to the crack.

While Si Tang was lost in thought, Fan Yi started doing his homework.

Si Tang had his back to Fan Yi, so he didn't see that the person behind him had a white light flashing on his fingers as he quickly checked all the knowledge and terminology about raw stones in the human world.

When Si Tang realized that it was too quiet behind her and was about to turn around, she suddenly smelled a cold fragrance from her side. It was Fan Yi who suddenly squatted beside her.

The aura of this man is extremely inconsistent with his appearance and temperament.

It was cool and mellow, with a base note of amber cedar that lingered domineeringly at the tip of her nose. It was a scent she had never smelled on the market.

A very strong smell, vaguely familiar.

Fan Yi's words interrupted her thoughts.

"Moss eating green is usually not a good sign, though." Fan Yi paused, "Unless, underneath the moss lies a 'dragon with water everywhere'."

There is water everywhere in the dragon. This is a term used in the industry to describe the fact that the color of jade becomes richer as the cracks go deeper.

Si Tang raised his head suddenly, and their noses almost touched. Si Tang stepped back slightly uncomfortably, his eyes flickering.

Those narrow eyes, which were faintly smiling, were filled with a strange blue hue, like a deep fluorescent lake, with a magical power that made people unable to look away for even a second.

"I trust your judgment." Si Tang lowered his head, his fingertips gently stroking the moss. "I didn't expect Mr. Fan Yi to be so knowledgeable about this."

"I believe in your luck." Fan Yi curled his lips and chuckled, "I'm looking forward to the first batch of our collaborative work."

After selecting the raw stones, they were transported to the professional cutting room behind Jinyuan.

"Where to cut?" the three of them discussed.

8856 naturally had to give the opportunity to show off to Fan Yi. Only he and Fan Yi knew very well all the internal structures of this raw stone.

Fan Yi said, "Of course not in the conventional way. Cut diagonally along this crack, avoiding any possible color bands."

When he said this, he raised his chin slightly and spoke slowly and calmly, looking like a master in the industry. 8856 wanted to laugh when he saw him pretending like that.

The gray-skinned rough stone is fixed on a precision cutting machine.

"Let me do it." Si Tang said personally.

She operated the blade herself, while Fan Yi stood by, guiding the angles. The diamond blade slowly descended, its sharp cutting sound filling her ears.

"Slow down..." Fan Yi's hand suddenly covered Si Tang's hand operating the joystick, "The crystal structure here may be unstable."

Touching Si Tang's little hand, Fan Yi began to feel excited, but he pretended to be normal on the surface.

Si Tang's hand trembled slightly in his palm. She stared at the raw stone, not daring to take it lightly.

Fan Yi's hands were still cold, without a single callus on his palms. He looked like a pampered young master from ancient times. It was even harder to imagine that he knew anything about raw stones and could even cut them.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be distracted.

"Don't be distracted." Fan Yi tightened his grip slightly.

At this moment, Si Tang suddenly realized that she was sitting in front of the cutting machine, and Fan Yi was bending over and standing behind her, as if he was holding her completely in his arms. The overbearing and sharp cold fragrance swept over her.

Si Tang's body stiffened, and a picture flashed through his mind quickly.

It was a scene where a man was lying on the bed, completely holding her in his arms from behind.

I'm hallucinating again.

Si Tang shook his head and finally completed the cutting with the help of Fan Yi.

Si Tang turned off the machine, subconsciously held his breath, and carefully removed the cut stone.

Wipe the cut surface with a damp cloth. A breathtaking green color blooms under the light.

"Imperial green..." Si Tang exclaimed, "It's glass-type!"

On the cut surface, around the fissure that most people would consider a disaster, the jade's color not only did not fade, but instead took on a rich, almost dripping green. Its texture was as transparent as glass, and it shone slightly fluorescent under the light.

Si Tang's eyes sparkled with stars, and he subconsciously looked up at Fan Yi, sharing his surprise. "Great!"

Fan Yi smiled slightly, his expression gentle as he looked at her, but the excitement in his eyes was very faint, as if he was not interested at all.

"Fan Yi, you are so awesome!" Si Tang said again.

At this moment, the tips of Fan Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his head slightly, his soft, light-ink hair covering the slightly red tips of his ears. Then, a look of joy spread in his eyes. It was the smile of a god.

8856 covered his face and turned around, oh, light bulb, light bulb.

Trident: This is the first time that Lord Fan Yi has smiled like this. I’ve never seen such a smile before.

Fan Yi lowered his head and gently flipped the stone over, revealing the other side. "And... look here. The color becomes more uniform as the cracks deepen. This isn't ordinary imperial green; this is 'Dragon Stone'."

The industry's top-quality jadeite variety.

Si Tang smiled, a smile that came from the heart, pure joy: "Fan Yi, do you know how many times the value of this stone has increased?"

Fan Yi's brows relaxed. "For this stone, I only care about its true value."

He looked directly at Sitang. "It depends on...what Tangtang can turn it into."

Si Tang was stunned, her gaze burning for a moment. In those narrow, dark eyes, her own image was clearly reflected. Between those gentle, watery brows, there was a complete trust in her.

"Okay, I will complete the design well!" She plans to design this part herself.

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

We gained a lot today and we went home.

Si Tang then transported the raw stone to the company's coded storage room.

When she returned to Haiyuan, dinner was already prepared, and half of it was her favorite food.

During the meal, Si Tang could now face Fan Yi's taste, which was different from that of ordinary people, without changing his expression.

Just don't scare her by eating puffer fish again.
