Chang Jing's generosity made Tang Yuan and Liang Yi feel very comfortable, especially since they knew that Chang Jing's family was not well-off and that Chang Jing's mother had divorced during the summer vacation and had rented a house with them.

Now that Chang Jing has been lucky enough to receive a large sum of money, they are very happy for him.

It was this genuine affection that made Liang Yi and Tang Yuan very sensible as they went to choose the cheapest rough stones, both wanting to save money for their brother.

“I’ve made my choice. This is the rough stone. I think it’s special enough.”

"Especially...ugly? The surface is covered in dark moss. I'll choose the one with better looks."

Seeing that the three of them had chosen the cheapest raw stones, Chang Jing led them to a pile of stones worth around a thousand yuan. He had seen that the pile of stones here also had a faint fluorescent reflection.

“Let’s each pick another stone from here. Be bold, let’s each take one from here.”

Ever since Chang Jing discovered that high-quality rough stones possessed spiritual energy, he planned to buy some more to take back, without intending to cut them open. Therefore, he now selects rough stones without any burden, picking out those with fluorescence and having the mine staff register them before paying.

"Okay, Chang Jing is the boss today, so let's each pick one. Chang Jing, are you going to get yours checked? Why did you pick so many? The ones over there are very expensive."

Seeing that Chang Jing was selecting more and more stones, even getting help from the mine's staff, Tang Yuan couldn't help but offer a few words of advice. He was worried that his brother might get carried away after a lucky break and start buying rough stones like crazy, which he knew wasn't a good thing.

"It's alright, I don't understand these things. I'll take them home to Chang Ling. Bai Mei, could you please take these stones back with you in your car?"

...A wealthy older brother giving his younger sister a stone? What kind of hobby and taste does that have!

"Okay, Brother Chang Jing, would you like to give Sister Chang Ling a stone as a gift? Or shall we go to the boutique and pick out another gift?"

Even the well-informed Bai Mei felt that Chang Jing was too much of a straight man. Who would give a delicate little sister a piece of raw jade? How could a young girl like that?

Chang Jing smiled but did not answer. He turned around and rummaged through other piles of stones, finding raw stones. By the time he had finished clearing the entire site, the staff following behind him had given up on moving the stones and simply dragged a small cart and followed Chang Jing.

"I'm all ready too. Let's go, we'll pay the bill, and then we'll get your stones cut."

Chang Jing looked at the stones in Liang Yi and the others' hands. One of the raw stones that Tang Yuan had chosen, priced at a thousand yuan, had a faint fluorescence, while the others did not.

"What bad luck, why do I have to meet such an unlucky person again?"

The group went to queue for stone cutting, but found that there were hardly any people in the queue, and Chen Jianzhong was gesturing in front of the stone cutting machine.

Tangyuan unconsciously complained that it was too unlucky, while Master Yuan on Chen Jianzhong's side suddenly turned off the machine and the sound suddenly became louder.

"You think you're an expert? You've been gesturing and wiping the window a few times, but you're unwilling to cut the stone. I'll let you choose where to cut the stone; you can do whatever you want with it."

“Master Yuan, who is so blind as to offend you? Everyone in Ping County who does jade business knows that you have been working in the jade-cutting business for more than ten years. If you are second in jade-cutting, no one dares to be first.”

If Tangyuan gets the chance to ridicule Chen Jianzhong, she certainly won't let it pass and will quickly come out to make a sarcastic remark.

"Hmph, some people just like to interfere. I can't decipher your jade, Young Master Chen. Do as you please!"

He then stepped aside and walked to another stone-cutting machine on the other side, switching places with his apprentice.

"You're here to have your stones cut, come and line up with me!"

No one dared to object when Master Yuan changed his position. The queue behind him was quickly reorganized, and Tangyuan and his group were placed first because of Master Yuan's influence.

"Master Yuan, you..."

The stone was only half-cut when the person ran away. Chen Jianzhong was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He really didn't dare to anger Master Yuan, but he was also unwilling to lose face like this.

"Young Master Chen, how about I untie it for you?"

Sigh! If the master quits, he can just pack up and change camera positions, but he can only take over and clean up this pile of Suzhou crap that Chen Jianzhong is dealing with. He's really unlucky.

"Get out of the way, I can do it myself."

Feeling humiliated by the way he was treated, Chen Jianzhong pushed aside the young stone-cutting craftsman in a harsh tone and began cutting the stone himself.

But he was just a teenager who had never really learned how to cut stones, and he couldn't even fix the raw stone properly.

With a "thud," the rough stone hit the machine. The young stone cutter felt a pang of pain in his heart. His machine! Would his boss dock his wages?

Seeing Chen Jianzhong continue to act recklessly, Master Yuan could no longer tolerate it and directly asked his apprentice to go to the mine owner to handle the matter, as he, a stone-cutting master, did not have that much power.

"Stop! Young Master Chen, stop!"

The mine owner wanted to curse Chen Jianzhong as he watched him operate the machine. Didn't he have to pay for his stone-cutting machine? If he broke it, would he ask the Chen family for compensation?

"Young Master Chen, this isn't your first time here, and you know the rules of our establishment. Why are you doing it yourself today?"

The fat boss was already drenched in sweat when he ran out, and seeing Chen Jianzhong's dangerous maneuver made him break out in a cold sweat again. Feeling sticky all over, he became particularly irritable and started speaking without any politeness.

“Young Master Chen, I should be extremely grateful that you're patronizing my business, but my stone-cutting machine has never done anything to you, so please don't make things difficult for it. Replacing a gear on this machine is very expensive.”

The fat boss of the mine made Chen Jianzhong blush with embarrassment after his words of both reconciliation and criticism. He didn't dare to openly offend Master Yuan, a stone-cutting master, let alone the boss of the raw stone mine.

"Young Master Tang's rough stone has turned green, look!"
