After a long day of hard work by three experienced and skilled craftsmen, a striking emerald green jade pillar was finally revealed. The jade pillar is approximately one meter long and over twenty centimeters thick, its vibrant color as fresh and captivating as a newly sprouted bud in spring.
When everyone saw the jade pillar, they were all amazed, and exclamations of praise rose and fell. Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! Such a huge and high-quality jade must be worth hundreds of millions!" This guess instantly resonated with those around, and everyone was filled with curiosity and anticipation about the value of this jade.
Cai Lun and Chen Zu quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the jadeite. Their eyes grew brighter and brighter, and their faces revealed undisguised excitement. Chen Zu excitedly said, "If I could process and sell this jadeite, its value would definitely exceed two hundred million!" These words caused another stir, and people became even more optimistic about the future prospects of this jadeite.
At this moment, Li Baolong spoke up, "Let's have someone carry this jadeite to the third floor first." Minglan immediately chimed in, "Yes, my idea is to place it in the third-floor showroom for the jade merchants to view for a couple of days before putting it away. This way, our jade market's reputation will definitely increase significantly." Li Baolong nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Minglan's suggestion. After all, Minglan always kept her word and would never easily go back on her word for a mere piece of jadeite. So, under the eager gazes of everyone, two strong and capable staff members carefully lifted the precious jadeite and slowly carried it towards the third floor…
The news of the sky-high price of jadeite appearing at Minglan Jade Mall swept through the entire northern Myanmar region like a whirlwind in just one day! You should know that the value of that piece of jadeite is as high as hundreds of millions! Such an astonishing price means that even some large-scale jadeite mines, which work day and night for a whole year, can only sell their ore for a total price of a mere hundred million.
Meanwhile, at a villa owned by the Bai family, Yang Dayong was intimately entwined with his Vietnamese concubine. However, in the midst of this blissful moment, a sudden, urgent phone call rang. Reluctantly, Yang Dayong rose from his reverie and answered the phone. Shortly after, he appeared grave, quickly dressed, and hurriedly drove to his hideout in Guogan Old Street—a bar.
When Yang Dayong arrived at the private room of the bar, seven or eight burly men were already waiting inside. After scanning the room, he cut to the chase: "Brothers, I'm sure you've all heard, right? Someone actually won a piece of jade at Minglan's jade market! The value of this jade is incredibly tempting, worth hundreds of millions. We can't let this opportunity to make a fortune slip by. So, I need you to find out about the lucky guy's background as soon as possible in the next couple of days. Once we find out he's about to leave Guogan, we'll immediately take action and snatch his jade!"
Upon hearing this, the seven or eight burly men immediately became excited, rubbing their hands together, eager to try their luck. They seemed to see piles of money beckoning to them, and couldn't wait to take action immediately to find out everything about the owner of that priceless jade.
That evening, Minglan arranged a lavish dinner. Firstly, to congratulate Li Baolong, and secondly, to thank him for his generosity. That piece of jade worth hundreds of millions, displayed at his jade market for two days, was phenomenal; it attracted a huge wave of jade merchants, causing jade sales to skyrocket. Minglan was incredibly grateful.
During dinner, Li Baolong and Minglan drank quite a bit, chatting more and more amiably than ever before, like old friends who wished they had known each other for a long time. After dinner, Minglan arranged to go to a bar or karaoke to relax. Cai Lun and Chen Zuzhi said they were too old and couldn't handle the alcohol, so they didn't go. Only Minglan and Li Baolong, the two young people, were left, full of energy and able to continue having fun.
At Minglan's friend's karaoke bar, the two sang and drank, having a wonderful time. As they drank, Minglan got a little tipsy and began to confide in Li Baolong. Minglan's figure and appearance were already captivating, but now, tipsy, she possessed an even more alluring charm. Li Baolong, looking at Minglan, was also a little dizzy, and in a moment of weakness, they embraced and kissed.
Li Baolong carefully helped the unsteady, dizzy Minglan into the hotel room. Upon entering, he gently placed her on the bedside table, then quickly fetched a basin of warm water and softly wiped her slightly pale face with a towel. After Minglan regained some consciousness, the two quickly washed up and lay down on the large, comfortable bed.
Li Baolong quickly drifted off to sleep, a satisfied smile lingering on his lips. However, just as he was immersed in his dream, he suddenly felt something soft as cotton rush into his arms. He instinctively reached out to hug it, but this embrace triggered a series of unexpected events…
As the first rays of dawn pierced the curtains and fell onto the bed, Li Baolong slowly awoke. He opened his sleepy eyes and was shocked to find a naked woman lying beside him—it was Minglan! Their eyes met, and for a moment the atmosphere became extremely awkward, filled with an indescribable ambiguity and tension.
After a long silence, Minglan finally broke it. She lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "Mr. Li, I'm so sorry. I drank too much last night and ended up having this inappropriate relationship with you without thinking. But please rest assured, I won't blame you, because it was all my own choice." She then raised her head slightly, looking firmly at Li Baolong, and continued, "Actually, I'd rather give you my virginity than marry that despicable Baihu."
Hearing Minglan's words, Li Baolong was deeply moved. He reached out and embraced Minglan's delicate body tightly, gently comforting her, "Since that's the case, if you really don't want to marry Baihu, then don't. I'll be here for you. I'll do my best to help you select high-quality jadeite to sell. I believe that with our efforts, we can definitely make you the most influential jadeite queen in Myanmar!"
