Shui Yiyao finished what she wanted to say and closed the forum.
She finally understood why Uncle Zhao and Lu Jiayu had advised her not to go. It must have been because of the scolding.
Many people are still scolding Zhao Bo for agreeing to organize the Jade Friends Association, saying that this Jade Friends Association is not in compliance with regulations.
They didn't think about it, it was Uncle Zhao who wanted to organize it? Didn't his opponent come to him to organize it?
Some people scolded the contestants, like Lu Jiayu, for not participating. Others said it would be a disgrace if she lost, saying they were veterans with years of experience and had no sense of propriety. Of course, there were also people who scolded Shui Yiyao, saying she hadn't won a single grand prize yet dared to participate in a jade club of this level.
Anyway, everyone from the organizers to the participants was scolded.
She wouldn't tolerate them. She didn't take their money, so there was no reason for her to let them scold her. Moreover, she didn't agree with a single word of what they said.
Everyone is afraid of losing and thinks that if they don’t compete, they won’t lose.
But in fact, as long as you don’t win, you lose.
She didn't want to lose anyway.
Shui Yiyao closed the forum, opened WeChat, and found a raw material supplier she had contacted before, wanting to buy stones.
She now wants to carve something and use it to participate in the next jade friends meeting.
"Why are you so angry?" Ao Li, working nearby, looked up at her from his laptop. The little mermaid princess's brows were furrowed, her lips pressed into a line, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She was clearly angry.
Shui Yiyao looked up and frowned: "Some people are just irritating."
Ao Li: "Why are you so angry?"
Shui Yiyao: "Talking is annoying... Forget it, let's not talk about them. Dean Ao, I have something I want to ask you for help."
Ao Li turned sideways and faced her: "Go ahead."
Shui Yiyao: "I bought a stone and need it urgently. I'd like to ask you to find someone to bring it to me."
"Okay, where can I get it?"
"The boss will deliver it to my doorstep... Or if you're not comfortable revealing your location, you can have it delivered here. However, I can't leave the house, so even if he does, you'll have to find someone to bring it in for me."
Ao Li: "I'll write down the address for you. You can send it here and I'll pick it up."
As he spoke, he lowered his head to type on the computer.
After a while, Shui Yiyao received a message from Ao Li on her mobile phone, which was an address information.
Shui Yiyao made an "OK" gesture: "Got it. Thank you, Dean Ao."
"You're welcome."
After getting the address, she lowered her head again and continued to negotiate with the jade merchant.
Ao Li looked at his computer screen for a while, then looked up at Shui Yiyao.
Perhaps the transaction process wasn't going smoothly, Shui Yiyao kept frowning. After a while, she made a phone call.
"Adasi, I just want an old pit material to make a thumb-sized object. I don't have high requirements for the quality. I think material No. 8 is fine. Please give me a price directly."
"Yellow patina is fine, but cracked? That's fine too. Let me take a look at the pictures first. Do you have any pictures of the actual item?"
"Well, I've seen it and can order it directly. I need it urgently. We are old friends, I trust you, you won't cheat me, right? We will trade again in the future, right?"
"Okay, I'll take a look first. Thank you, Adasi."
After hanging up the phone, Shui Yiyao's frown did not relax. She opened the picture that the jade merchant had just sent her and started looking at it.
“I can’t trade in person, and I don’t know if I’ll get ripped off.”
But there was nothing she could do, she couldn't get out. However, this jade merchant was a nice guy, they had done business together several times.
Ao Li: "I can help you take a look."
Shui Yiyao raised her eyes: "You can also look at jade?"
She only knew that Ao Li was interested in jade, but she didn't know that he could appreciate jade.
Ao Li shook his head: "I don't know how to judge jade, I know how to judge people."
Shui Yiyao immediately understood: "That's right."
Ao Li is the big boss of the Ao Group, and "judging people" should be his basic skill.
Indeed, in the jade trade, as long as one can identify one of the "people" and the "jade", they will not be easily cheated.
"That's too much trouble for Master Ao." Shui Yiyao felt a little embarrassed.
She felt that it was already troublesome enough to need Ao Li to help her cook, and helping her watch the goods... was even more troublesome.
Ao Li smiled and shook his head, putting the laptop aside. He looked at her seriously and said, "If it weren't for you, I might still be trying to get a residence permit. That would be really troublesome."
Shui Yiyao hesitated: "What does this have to do with me?"
Ao Li said calmly, "According to the original process, the sea people can't get a residence permit so quickly."
"My application materials were rejected countless times. The last time, after I added the information about the Sea Tribe Mermaid Princess's development direction on land, my application was quickly approved. That's your studio information."
His contributions to scientific research have already met the standards. The reason why his applications have been rejected is that many people hold the view that those who are not of the same race must have different hearts.
Finger knife carving is a traditional Chinese art, passed down for thousands of years. The Shuiyi Yao's mastery of this technique has made Chinese leaders realize that the Sea Tribe does indeed share a cultural identity with China. In fact, they have always known the same characters, spoken the same language, and share the same bloodline as Yanhuang and Nuwa. They have also been present in Chinese history, though their traces are faint. So, while they are of different races, they share the same bloodline. However, their genetic differences are so profound that this has long been overlooked.
It was Shui Yi Yao who made China pay attention to this again.
This is an effect that he has been unable to achieve even though he has been making progress in scientific research.
"The finger knife technique has been lost, and your contribution is irreplaceable." Ao Li said slowly, looking at her: "You are far more important than you realize."
Shui Yiyao was stunned for a moment: "I really don't know. But I think your role is irreplaceable."
She didn't think her contributions were as significant as Ao Li claimed. After all, scientific research contribution was the real criterion. Without Ao Li's efforts at the institute, no matter how well she did with her finger knife, she wouldn't have been able to obtain a residence permit.
So she is at most a plus.
Ao Li shook his head: "No. You are irreplaceable."
Shui Yiyao suddenly laughed out loud: "Let's stop bragging about business. I know we are all important! Irreplaceable!"
Shui Yiyao: "So, I'll have to trouble Ao Yuan when I check out the goods."
Ao Li was still very serious: "Don't bother me. I'm telling you this just to let you know. What I do for you is what I should do."
Shui Yiyao also looked him in the eye seriously: "There's no such thing as right or wrong."
She smiled slightly: "You are good to me, I know."
Ao Li looked at her, speechless for a moment.
He said this to make her feel that what she got was what she deserved and to relieve her from the pressure. But it seemed like she still remembered it.
But that was just her. She relied on herself for everything, and would remember any troubles she had for others, so she could pay them back later.
But he didn't want her to return it.
He looked at her and said, "Once you've confirmed it, tell me the time and place for delivery."
"good."
Shui Yiyao continued to discuss jade materials and bargain with the jade merchant, and soon decided on the transaction method.
After she decided, she gave Ao Li the delivery location.
Ao Li took a look and confirmed that he could pass.
After lunch, Ao Li received a conference call from the research institute.
The meeting ended an hour and a half later, and he looked up at Shui Yiyao.
"What are you doing?"
Ao Li walked towards the pool and looked at Shui Yiyao with some confusion. It was rare to see her idle when not carving.
She was half leaning against the pool, holding her cell phone in one hand, looking at something on the screen very seriously, and drawing something on the ground by the pool with the other hand.
The water from his fingertips drew a trace on the ground, leaving behind a picture that looked like a phoenix.
"I'm studying." Shui Yiyao answered, still drawing with her hands.
The water marks dried up quickly.
She finished the last stroke and then looked up: "I studied the jade carving circle over in Xiaoshan Country."
In fact, she had seen these before, but recently she paid special attention to them and looked at the more detailed things.
Ao Li: "Do you need paper and pen?"
Shui Yiyao: "Is it here?"
Of course, it would be better to have paper and pen, as she needs to write a summary. Writing it down on her phone's memo is also possible, but it's a bit cumbersome.
Ao Li: "I'll have someone bring it to you."
·
Ao Xuan received a call from Ao Li, asking him to bring a notebook and pen to the leader's Deepwater Manor.
He was completely confused.
He knew that the mermaid princess was recuperating in that manor.
Some time ago, the chief had acquired a lot of kitchen utensils, and he had helped to count them. At that time, he was thinking that the chief's lifelong event was about to be decided.
Cooking for the mermaid princess is fine. The mermaid princess is known for being a bit picky about food, so it's normal. The leader personally cooking for her, while a bit exaggerated, is not impossible. For a lifelong event, it's normal, and the mermaid princess deserves it.
But…a notebook and a pen?
He knew the leader was very busy, but he wouldn't be writing research notes while discussing his lifelong affairs, right?
But he didn't dare to ask.
Ao Xuan stood in a laptop store, feeling very conflicted. Which one should he buy? What if he bought the wrong one and something went wrong? He couldn't be held responsible.
Ao Xuan hesitated for a while, but still sent pictures of several laptops he liked to Ao Li.
"Chief, take a look, which one do you choose?"

When Shui Yiyao got the notebook, she was stunned.
This notebook... is pretty fancy, isn't it? Actually, she only needs a simple notebook. Writing summaries and drawing some pictures won't require much ink, paper, or paper.
Because she has written before, what she wants to write now is the new things that came out this month, the new experience and feelings. The content is not much.
Although this notebook doesn't look big, it's actually quite thick.
The cover is pink, made of cowhide, with a heart in the middle, light blue.
There is a sentence in the middle of the love heart, small words
【cute. 】
The notebook is quite thick.
The middle is solid colored paper, and the entire notebook is light pink.
The color is pure, without any other colors, and it looks very nice.
And there are no horizontal lines.
Completely blank paper is quite suitable for drawing.
"Do you like it?" Ao Li asked Shui Yiyao as he watched her read the book over and over again.
Ao Xuan sent him more than ten pictures, and he thought this one was the cutest. It was pink and tender, as cute as the mermaid princess of their sea tribe.
The mermaid princess Shui Yiyao looked up and nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "I like it, it's very good."
The notebook is quite fancy, but since it is someone else's work, it is better to have fewer opinions.
Moreover, although this notebook is not suitable for writing, it is quite suitable for drawing.
Shui Yiyao picked up the pen.
Took off the pen cap.
The pen body is made of crystal texture and the pen cap is designed with a crown.
There are words on the pen: Don’t bow your head, the crown will fall off!
Shui Yiyao: "How can I write without lowering my head?"
Ao Li also saw it, and he suddenly said, "Don't worry. If it falls off, I'll make a new one for you."
"With gold and golden pearls."
