There were supposed to be activities after dinner, but the program team deliberately gave Shui Yiyao a day off.
After dinner, Shui Yiyao sent Xiao Zheng away to research the jade industry in this world. She had already purchased one of the five seawater purifiers.
The remaining four units must also be delivered as soon as possible. Seawater purifiers are the foundation of mermaids' survival, just like air is to ordinary people.
The deal she made with Shui Yiyao was to let the mermaids live a good life, but now they can't even meet their basic survival needs, let alone a good life.
If the Golden Tears are unreliable, we have to go back to our old business.
After watching for half an hour, Shui Yiyao discovered that the jade industry in this world was almost exactly the same as in her original world, even the name had not changed.
Hetian jade is still Hetian jade, and the most expensive is still the seed material. Qinghai material, Russian material and Korean material all have names, but due to different world views, there are some slight changes in the place names.
Hetian jade is named after Hotan County in Xinjiang, but in this world, it has become Hotan in Xingjiang.
The Russian country where Russian materials are produced has become the Russian mountain.
Apart from the name, there is not much change. The Hetian jade ranking still emphasizes "one red, two yellow, three ink, and four mutton fat" or "one red, two ink, three yellow, and four mutton fat".
As long as the changes aren't too big, she can handle it.
She checked the current market price of finger knife jade carvings again. The prices were pretty much the same, with no significant changes.
However, she saw an article title
“Finger knife jade carving – a lost intangible cultural heritage skill.”
Lost?
It wasn't surprising, as the art was already on the verge of extinction. However, she was more worried that if no one could recognize her finger-knife jade carvings, her wages would be at least halved.
Half is half, you can always have some by adding them together.
There is also Shui Yiyao's salary. She has been in the industry for a year and should have earned a lot of money.
She had to think about where to save the money. It would be best if she could buy one or two purifiers directly. If it was not enough, she could buy some jade materials to carve and sell, and then buy purifiers with the money she earned.
Shui Yiyao’s money.
She closed her eyes and thought carefully.
Where is the passbook? Passbook, no—house, car, jewelry…?
All used up?
In Shui Yiyao's memories, she had no money left, having bought everything. This was not right; she hadn't sent a single cent to the sea. This didn't seem like a mermaid princess who would sacrifice her life for the good of the mermaid kingdom.
How could that be?
Shui Yiyao spent all her salary on herself?
She opened her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it, and closed them again to think about it carefully.
—Wait until I can get into that socialite circle. Once I’m in, I’ll have no worries about resources and can make a lot of money. Once I make a lot of money, I’ll buy nice things for my people.
In the socialite circle?
She opened her eyes again, a little puzzled. Where did all these magical ideas come from?
But fortunately, houses, cars, jewelry and other things can be sold.
If you are lucky, you might even make a small profit.
Oh, and there's a bracelet.
Shui Yiyao had it with her. She searched her bag and found a round jade bracelet. Now that she had it, she could sell it online.
Shui Yiyao spent 58,000 yuan to buy the bracelet. It is the finest apple green, without any black spots or impurities.
I'm looking forward to it, after all, apple green is prone to black impurities. If it is a complete bracelet without impurities, it will be very beautiful, and the key is that she can still sell it at the original price of 58,000.
There is a jewelry bag in the bag, which is placed in the side pocket.
Shui Yiyao opened the jewelry bag, and inside was the apple green jade bracelet.
She carefully took the bracelet out of the jewelry bag. The color was indeed beautiful and gorgeous.
She looked towards the light out of habit, and her breathing stopped for a moment.
……bubble?
jasper?
This is fucking jade! This is glass! It's real, you can tell at a glance that it's glass!
It's outrageous.
There is absolutely no jade structure inside, the color is pure and beautiful, not to mention black impurities, there is no flaw at all.
Who else but glass?
Fifty-eight thousand? Even five dollars and eighty cents is too much for this thing!
Where did you buy it? It's so shameless.
A huge loss.
She rubbed her temples.
Wait a minute, I still have a jade bracelet and jade necklace at home, I hope they are okay.
At worst, I still have a house and a car, which can be sold for some money.
She decided to find an agency to buy a house first, then rent another one, and save the remaining money to buy an air purifier.
She found a real estate agency online, filled out the agency contract online, and received a call from the agency agent shortly thereafter.
The details of the house sale were finalized over the phone. She was willing to bear all the agency fees, but required the house to be sold as soon as possible.
After buying the house, she also posted the car information on the online trading platform.
Shui Yiyao originally bought the house for six million, and the car for two million. She sold them for about eight million, and with some extra money, she could buy another air purifier.
Everything else can be planned slowly, but not the purifier. It's an absolute necessity, and needs to be purchased as soon as possible.
The next day after the listing was posted, the agent called Shui Yiyao to say a buyer wanted to see the house. Shui Yiyao hadn't expected such a quick response, so she had to reschedule the meeting. The show still had two days to finish filming, so she arranged to see the house two days later.
That night, we had originally agreed to go to Bai Gege's room.
During the day, she helped Bai Gege find the person who took the secret photos. Bai Gege said she wanted to give her a reward, but just as she was about to leave, Bai Gege came to her door first.
"You're here." Shui Yiyao looked at Bai Gege outside the door, a little surprised. She had agreed to go find her.
"You're tired today. I'll come over here so I don't have to bother you making another trip." Bai Gege smiled and closed the door.
Bai Gege was holding a handbag.
Walking to the table, she opened her purse and said, "I originally prepared another thank-you gift for you, but now I have something better."
She took out an envelope from her handbag and handed it to Shui Yiyao: "This is my reward."
Is it money?
Shui Yiyao took the envelope doubtfully and took out the contents.
Bai Gege: "Wait until I'm gone..."
Before Bai Gege could finish her words, Shui Yiyao pulled out all the photos.
photo?
When Shui Yiyao saw the content of the photo clearly, she felt a chill down her spine.
It's a swimming pool photo. Shui Yiyao is in the pool, half holding on to the edge of the pool, wearing a bikini, looking sexy and revealing.
There was a man sitting by the swimming pool, neatly dressed in a suit and tie, half leaning over, looking at her quietly.
Shui Yiyao raised her head and the man lowered his head, as if they would kiss in the next second.
It can be as ambiguous as possible.
That man was Ao Li.
In the original novel, this photo was handed to Bai Ge Ge by Ao Li because he witnessed Shui Yiyao bullying Bai Ge Ge today and wanted to teach Shui Yiyao a lesson. It would be best if she could quit the entertainment industry and pretend that she didn't see it.
But she didn't bully Bai Gege at all today, so this shouldn't have happened.
Why did Ao Li still give the photo to Bai Gege?
After this photo was released, everyone knew that Ao Li was Shui Yiyao's financial backer.
Now that she has inherited Shui Yiyao's memories, she knows that this is not the case.
Ao Li knew Shui Yiyao's true form as a mermaid and said that he had never seen a mermaid before and wanted to see one. He also offered Shui Yiyao a reward of five million.
Shui Yiyao was short of money, so she agreed.
In this photo, Shui Yiyao's lower body is hidden in the swimming pool, which is a huge golden fish tail.
Shui Yiyao and Ao Li only had that one transaction and never met again.
Why is this photo still among the white song singers?
Bai Gege just said that he got it later. Ao Li arrived at noon, which was the right time for Bai Gege to change her mind.
However, Ao Li's motives are no longer tenable.
If he wasn't venting his anger for Bai Gege, what else could it be?
This was not right, there had to be something she didn't know.
Bai Gege: "You intercepted the photo for me, and I intercepted the photo for you. We're even now."
Seeing Shui Yiyao's face still looking unhappy, she added: "This is the negative in your hand. I didn't make a copy. Don't worry, this photo will definitely not be leaked."
Shui Yiyao: "Thank you."
She lowered her head and put the photo back into the envelope.
Bai Gege: "But you really have to be careful and don't let anyone take pictures of you again, otherwise..."
Shui Yiyao: "I understand. Thank you."
Seeing her smile, Bai Gege nodded and said, "It's okay. I'll go back first."
She turned around with her handbag.
"etc."
Bai Gege turned around: "What's wrong?"
Shui Yiyao frowned, her eyes fixed on Bai Gege's ears: "Your earrings are half-finished products?"
It was a white jade bead earring, and the jade bead was so small, as big as the nail of the little finger.
Strangely, the bead was engraved with a picture of an old man in a straw raincoat fishing. It was exquisitely detailed, but the picture was only half carved.
Bai Gege nodded, reached out and touched the jade earrings, feeling somewhat helpless: "The master was halfway through his work when... he passed away."
"Why don't you find a new master to continue carving?"
Bai Gege shook her head and sighed: "This kind of small bead carving requires exquisite skills, and it is not easy to find a master."
She had already searched for jade carvers, but no one dared to take the job. There were many masters who could carve round beads, but none dared to follow the master's technique for fear of ruining their work.
However, this half painting actually looks very artistic and you can hardly tell that it is just a half-finished product.
Shui Yiyao has good eyesight.
Shui Yiyao: "I can. My specialty is carving. Leave it to me, it will be no problem. It will only take two weeks, and I guarantee it will be a perfect carving for you."
Bai Gege: “Ah?”
Well, it was quite sudden.
Shui Yiyao: "I really can. Do you want to try?"
Bai Gege pondered for a moment: "Do you have any examples of your work? Photos of your past works?"
