The auctioneer came forward and asked, "Mr. Li, which rough stone would you like to open first?"
Li Yangzhou hesitated for a moment. He didn't intend to open it all, nor did he intend to open the best quality glass-type imperial green piece right away.
"Let's go with rough stone No. 21." He decided to open the rough stone selected by Su Wanti first.
The raw stone was not big, weighing only a few dozen kilograms, but it was an ice-type stone with a very high transparency.
I don’t know whether this piece of jade has green in it, because in Liyangzhou one can only feel the texture but cannot “see” the color.
However, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have green. Its icy texture and flawlessness are enough to multiply the value of this rough stone several times.
Using it to open the show will not be too abrupt and will not make other viewers too envious. It is a good choice.
Moreover, this rough stone was chosen by Assistant Su. Seeing that she could get a jadeite of excellent quality on her first gambling on stones would boost her morale and confidence.
Now, Li Yangzhou discovered that he liked to hear Assistant Su's joyful voice when he was happy.
These days, he was shrouded in gloom, but Su Wanti's laughter could bring him a touch of brightness.
The staff received instructions from Liyang Prefecture, and one staff member placed the No. 21 raw stone in front of the stone-cutting machine.
"Mr. Li, how do we cut the No. 21 raw stone?" the staff asked.
Li Yangzhou turned to Su Wanti, his lips curled up slightly, and his tone was calm, "Assistant Su, the rough stone No. 21 is the one you chose. You will tell them how to cut it."
"Okay." Su Wanti was in high spirits.
She stepped forward and drew a few lines on the raw stone with a pen. Her movements were quick and decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
"Master, just cut it according to the price I drew." Su Wanti said.
"But..." Seeing that the raw stone was too small and the other party was a young lady, the master was quite skeptical of her ability.
He frowned and questioned, "Miss, are you sure you want to cut it this way? Do you want to think about it again?"
Su Wanti's glass-like eyes showed a cold look. She looked at the stone-cutting master and her tone left no room for questioning.
"This stone is entirely up to me. I tell you how to cut it, and you cut it the way I tell you to. The result is mine, and it's none of your business. Just do your job well."
The master muttered, "If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."
Some people's attitude will become subtle the moment they see that the customer is a young girl.
There was distrust and contempt in his words.
Su Wanti whispered, "If you dare not cut according to the lines I drew and damage my rough stone, I won't be able to compensate you even if I sell your entire organs."
Hearing this, the master shuddered.
How could he forget that this young girl was someone close to Mr. Li.
I don’t know where this young girl came from, but judging from Mr. Li’s attitude towards her, I know that there is something unusual between them.
You'd better just work honestly and stop talking. If you offend this young lady, you'll probably have a hard time.
The master closed his mouth, turned on the machine, and began cutting according to the lines drawn by Su Wanti.
The roar drowned out the chatter of the spectators.
"Who is this person next to Mr. Li?" someone asked.
"It's Special Assistant Li!"
"I'm not asking about him, I'm asking about that young girl."
"Her, you haven't seen her...but you must have heard about her."
"What's going on?"
"Her name is Su Wanti. She is currently Mr. Li's personal assistant and was once the general manager of Su's Enterprise."
"Su Wanti... General Manager of Su Enterprises... Ah? So she's the fake daughter the Su family mistakenly adopted? Wasn't she kicked out of the Su family? I thought she'd returned to her original home."
"Her family lives in a mountain village in another province. Why would she go back? She went all the way to a prestigious university. It wouldn't be difficult for her to find a job and stay in City A with her own knowledge and abilities."
"Mr. Li has always been very strict in recruiting people. The fact that she can be Mr. Li's personal assistant is enough to prove that she is capable."
"Tsk, what kind of ability!" someone scoffed. "She was lucky before, thanks to the top-notch education provided by her adoptive parents from the Su family, she was able to attend a prestigious school. But now... don't you notice how beautiful she is? Who knows if she got to President Li's side because of her strength or something else?"
Someone retorted, "Don't spread rumors here. Mr. Li has been blind for several months. She joined the company after Mr. Li's accident. No matter how beautiful she is, Mr. Li can't see her! I think she must be capable."
…
The stone was not big, so cutting was not difficult. The first cut was made quickly.
The moment the stone was cut, the master's eyes lit up.
The flowing water washed away the dust, and the rich and bright purple bloomed.
"Oh my God, it's Zi Fei!" said the master excitedly.
Someone put on glasses and looked closely, "The color is rich and pure, the hue is pure, and the saturation is high. This is an extremely rare imperial purple!"
"The quality of this purple jade is also good. It has a fine and warm texture and high transparency, and can reach the level of ice jade."
"I heard that Assistant Su chose this rough stone himself."
"It seems like she really has something. No wonder she became Mr. Li's personal assistant so quickly."
Everyone was amazed at the beauty and rarity of the purple jade, and at the same time they became quite interested in Su Wanti.
Li Yangzhou's ears twitched slightly. The stone that Assistant Su liked turned out to be purple jadeite, or the rarest imperial purple?
It seems that this little girl is quite lucky.
Su Wanti's excited voice rang in his ears, "Mr. Li, I made the right choice, didn't I? This rough stone may be small, but it is a piece of imperial purple jadeite. This level of jadeite is extremely rare on the market and its value is inestimable!"
