[Gentle-as-jade Crown Prince vs. Spirited Fake Daughter, Ancient-Modern Connection + Farming & Hoarding + Infrastructure Development]
After the fake daughter, Song Tingwan, was swept out ...
"Grandpa Li, good afternoon." Song Tingwan saw Li Jinxiang holding a bucket of instant noodles as soon as he entered the store. "You just had lunch."
"I just filled my stomach, and here you are, girl." Li Jinxiang closed the lid of the instant noodles and smiled as he asked Song Tingwan to sit down.
Song Tingwan found a place to put down her bag. "I thought instant noodles were junk food in your eyes, but I didn't expect you also like them."
"Oh, I'm an old man with a strong taste." Li Jinxiang dealt with the garbage, cleaned the table, and lit a stick of sandalwood. "What, did you find some old stuff at home again?"
Hearing this, Song Tingwan looked at the old man stroking his beard across from her, smiled knowingly, and took out a jade pendant from her bag and handed it over, "Take a look."
Li Jinxiang glanced at Song Tingwan, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
This time, Li Jinxiang quickly gave the result and exclaimed in praise: "What a beautiful jade!"
"This is a finely carved piece of Dushan jade. Dushan jade has a vibrant color, fine texture, and excellent transparency and luster. It is a first-class raw material for jade carving. It is only produced in Dushan, so the raw material is rare and extremely precious."
"Even without this exquisite craftsmanship, this piece of jade alone is worth a fortune."
Song Tingwan smiled and said, "Then Grandpa Li, will you accept it?"
"You!" Li Jinxiang stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Song Tingwan, "Girl, can you sell me the purse from yesterday?"
Song Tingwan: ...
He still didn't give up and kept asking her to sell her purse yesterday.
But that purse isn't hers! Xiao Yunze came over last night and forgot to return it to him.
Song Tingwan smiled sweetly: "Grandpa Li, I told you yesterday, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but that purse really isn't mine, I can't make the decision."
"Three million." Li Jinxiang stretched out three fingers and looked at Song Tingwan quietly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tingwan's smile froze on his face.
Three million?
A purse is more valuable than a gold ingot?
Song Tingwan: "Grandpa Li, you are serious, right? Is this purse really that valuable? The gold ingot last time was only 950,000."
Li Jinxiang took out a gold-stamped invitation and said, "A few days ago, I received an internal invitation from an auction house, inviting me to attend an auction in a month. The boss and I are old acquaintances. His company has just been established, and this is his first auction. He asked me to bring some of his collection to the auction to help him put on a good show."
"Girl, that purse of yours is truly perfect. While its price may not compare to other rare antiques, this long-lost craftsmanship can still be a highlight at this auction."
"There's no other embroidery thread or craftsmanship like this on the market right now." Li Jinxiang looked at Song Tingwan expectantly and vowed, "If it's auctioned, it won't be less than five million."
Seeing that Song Tingwan didn't respond, Li Jinxiang continued, "Jade pendant, gold ingot, gold coins, or..."
Li Jinxiang hesitated for two seconds and then continued, "Girl, if you find any other old items at home, you can auction them off."
"Besides, if it's put up for auction, it's likely to fetch several or even dozens of times the actual price. Think about it."
Song Tingwan: "If there's no purse, can other things be auctioned?"
"Hahahaha, of course." Li Jinxiang stroked his beard, smiling broadly. "The richer and more precious the collection, the more collectors it will attract, and the higher the price will naturally be. My old friend couldn't be happier to have someone help support the event."
I have to admit that Song Tingwan was really moved. Who would complain about having too much money?
Besides, since he had made up his mind to help Xiao Yunze and the people of Daqing, the more money the better.
The jade pendant was found in the cloth bag left by Xiao Yunze last night.
After Xiao Yunze left, she found a piece of paper on the counter with traditional Chinese characters written on it.
Song Tingwan didn't understand, so she checked on Baidu and found out that it said: This is a little gift from Xiao, please accept it!
After selling it for two million, Song Tingwan was now taking the previous contract to the tax bureau to file taxes, and on the way he was thinking about what other treasures he had at home.
The large bag Xiao Yunze gave her last night was filled with gold and silver ingots, as well as a few jade pendants. They were all exquisite and would be perfect for auction. Although there were only a few items, collectors would probably like this.
Song Tingwan used to visit her best friend's house often. Her grandfather was a big collector and the family specially hired someone to build a glass display cabinet filled with all kinds of exquisite objects.
Thinking of her best friend Ye Ranran, Song Tingwan felt a pang of sadness and wanted to talk to her. However, when she thought of the recent changes that had happened to her, she didn't want to disturb her while she was studying abroad.
Around two or three in the afternoon, Song Tingwan returned to the store. As soon as he opened the door, he saw an unexpected scene.
In the bright shop, Xiao Yunze was standing by the counter eating cookies, taking small bites at a time, very elegantly.
Song Tingwan was not fooled by the beauty. She asked in confusion, "How did you get in? Didn't I close the door?"
Xiao Yunze noticed that Song Tingwan had returned. He put down half a biscuit, stood up and walked forward, "Miss Song, you're back."
"Ah, yes." Song Tingwan walked around him, put her bag on the counter, and looked at him cautiously. "How did you get in?"
Xiao Yunze was confused. "I came here as soon as I crossed the threshold of the clinic, just like usual. When I came here, I saw that the young lady was not there, so I didn't dare to move around without permission, so I waited here for her to come back."
Was it always like this before?
Could it be that it doesn't matter whether the door is open or closed to Xiao Yunze, and it has no effect at all?
