When Jiang Chen, the disciple, saw that his master remained silent, he assumed that his master was unwilling.
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He continued to persuade him, "Master, you are now the most skilled jade expert in the family."
"It would damage your reputation to let an outsider ride on your head!"
Kang Zicheng raised his hand, interrupting Jiang Chen.
He said, "Since the other party was invited by the host, he must have some extraordinary abilities. Besides, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Let Tang Donglin test that person's strength first."
At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "If the other party is not even as good as Tang Donglin, there is no need for me to take action at all, and Tang Donglin will offend the main family because of it!"
Hearing his master say that, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but give Kang Zicheng a thumbs up: "Master, you're the best!"
The Qin family has been in the business of raw stones and jade for many years.
He naturally cultivated many jade gambling experts under his command.
However, due to the successive incidents involving jade gambling masters.
Currently, among the Qin family's jade gambling experts, Kang Zicheng and Tang Donglin are the strongest.
Relatively speaking, Kang Zicheng is slightly better than Tang Donglin.
However, his advantage lay in his experience.
This experience was simply because he was 8 years older than Tang Donglin.
Eight years ago, his skill level was definitely not comparable to Tang Donglin's now.
Therefore, Tang Donglin posed a great threat to him.
After all, the host family has yet to decide who will be the chief consultant.
These jade gambling experts were recruited and trained by the Qin family from outside.
There are five levels.
They are respectively apprentice, full-time employee, ordinary expert, senior expert, and jade gambling master.
Different ranks receive different treatment.
For example, apprentices only receive a basic salary.
I only have 3,000 yuan a month.
The salaries for regular employees are quite high, with a base salary of 12,000 yuan plus commission.
Reaching the expert level leads to a higher salary, with an annual income reaching 500,000 yuan, plus commissions and profit sharing.
Senior experts earn a million-dollar annual salary, and in addition to commissions and bonuses, they also receive a cut from the commissions earned by others.
As for the chief consultant, they are even more impressive. Not only do they have a base salary of 5 million, but they also enjoy profit sharing and commissions, and receive additional bonuses for each assessment.
Now, both Kang Zicheng and Tang Donglin are senior experts.
Once you become the chief consultant, your annual income will definitely increase several times over.
However, a doubt immediately arose in Jiang Chen's mind: "Master, will Tang Donglin take the initiative to step forward?"
"He will!"
Kang Zicheng said with great certainty.
He knew that Tang Donglin was eager for quick success and profit and had always wanted to trample him underfoot.
To seize the position of chief advisor.
However, he was slightly inferior to him in the area of jade gambling.
If your skills are inferior to his, then you can only resort to unconventional methods.
If he can defeat the expert in jade gambling hired by the host.
With them, his prestige will surely rise greatly.
At that time, the host family will also take this point into consideration when selecting the chief consultant.
But Kang Zicheng didn't think things would be that simple.
Although that guy named Gao Yan is very young.
However, having worked for the Qin family for many years, he still had a certain understanding of the family's background.
Would the host family simply hire an incompetent person to fill a position?
Therefore, he concluded that Gao Yan, though young, was indeed capable.
But they must have some extraordinary abilities!
This is why, despite his anger and resentment, he still didn't intend to take the lead himself.
However, Kang Zicheng still decided to give it a push.
So he whispered to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, go see Tang Donglin and belittle me in front of him. Tell him I don't dare to go out and cause trouble for Gao Yan!"
"Why, Master!"
Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.
Kang Zicheng said calmly, "Tang Donglin has always wanted to trample me underfoot. If he knew what I wouldn't dare to do, what do you think his reaction would be?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly realized: "Master, you mean...!"
"Alright, that's good. Go and do it now. And remember, take your acting seriously!"
"Yes, Master, I'll go find Tang Donglin right away!"
A short while later.
Jiang Chen then found an opportunity to get close to Tang Donglin.
"Hey Xiao Jiang, why aren't you serving your master? What are you doing here?" Tang Donglin raised an eyebrow.
"Why!"
Jiang Chen sighed, feigning frustration: "Master Tang, do you know that the young jade gambling expert that the master has invited is coming soon!"
"I know!"
Tang Donglin said calmly, "Little Jiang, you didn't come here just to talk to me about this, did you?"
"Of course not, I just want to have a chat with you, Master Tang!"
Jiang Chen quickly said, "I heard that the expert in jade gambling is only twenty years old, and the family wants him to be your and your master's leader."
"Of course I was not convinced, so I went to my master to teach him a lesson. Guess what my master said?"
"How so?" Tang Donglin asked curiously.
At this moment, Jiang Chen revealed an angry expression: "I originally thought that my master would agree, but I didn't expect that my master would say that this matter was arranged by the master's family, so we should just listen to the master's family. It seems that my master has gotten old and lost his edge!"
"Little Jiang, did your master deliberately tell me this?"
Tang Donglin stared at Jiang Chen and asked.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart tightened: "How could that be? I was just complaining casually. What does it have to do with my master? But Master Tang, you have to keep this a secret for me. Otherwise, if it gets to my master's ears, I'm afraid I'll be scolded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen hurriedly left.
Watching his retreating figure, Tang Donglin secretly curled his lip.
Although he was eager for quick success and profit, he always wanted to become the chief consultant.
