The dinner for everyone in the workshop that night was a boxed meal ordered by Miao Cuihua.
Everyone stayed at the stone-cutting site, unwilling to leave.
Although the previous eight rough stones were all of high quality, they were purchased from the Jade Exchange Association, so their quality is to be expected.
This was Liu Yihang's private collection, and each piece could be opened to reveal exquisite jadeite, which is truly astonishing.
Miao Cuihua had previously said that the acquisition of the raw stones was entirely due to the young man's help, but they didn't believe her, thinking that Miao Cuihua was just trying to promote him.
I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.
Icy glass-type red jadeite, jadeite with auspicious symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, icy black jadeite…
Even the most common type is icy green jadeite.
What's even more terrifying is that every single piece yields jade; not a single one is a waste.
Others were unaware, only surprised and admiring.
Miao Cuihua and Niu Ben were completely disoriented. They both knew exactly where Liu Yihang had gotten all those stones.
Most of them are found among the scraps discarded by people on the raw stone street, which is quite alarming.
Miao Cuihua instructed Niu Ben to keep the secret. If this matter were to be spread, it would not only be detrimental to Liu Yihang, but would also cause them to lose a powerful master of jade appreciation.
Niu Ben immediately assured that there would be no leaks.
Of course, he felt a little jealous. Miao Cuihua had gone to such lengths and incurred such a high cost to bring Liu Yihang into the company, considering all the troubles and considerations.
But it was just a fleeting feeling of bitterness. He knew the gap between himself and Liu Yihang. Liu Yihang could generate greater profits for the company, and he himself would also benefit.
Furthermore, Miao Cuihua had assured him that Liu Yihang's joining would not only not affect his status, but would also elevate them to a higher level.
He remains the company's jade consultant; Liu Yihang only helps out when the company needs him.
Thinking about it this way, it's really not a big deal.
It took everyone until 8 p.m. to extract all twenty rough stones.
After careful calculation, the appraiser estimated that the value of this batch of twenty jade pieces before they were sold was around 42 million.
That piece of jade, symbolizing fortune, prosperity, and longevity, alone is worth twenty million.
Finally, Miao Cuihua made the final decision, taking all twenty pieces of jade into her possession and making up any difference in price for Liu Yihang.
Adding the previous 27 million to the 42 million, the total is 69 million.
After deducting the 70 million yuan invested by Liu Yihang in the company, the company should still refund him 29 million yuan.
"Yihang, I may have to wait until the Imperial Green is sold before I can give you the money for these 29 million. The company's working capital is indeed tight right now."
Liu Yihang understood; she had practically used up all of the company's working capital to buy that piece of imperial green jade.
"Okay, it's alright."
"Don't worry, your half of the Imperial Green still belongs to you personally. It won't be handed over to the company just because you joined. It will still be yours before it's sold."
Miao Cuihua is an open and straightforward person who likes to explain things clearly beforehand.
The two signed a share transfer agreement.
Miao Cuihua also signed an IOU for Liu Yihang in the company's name, specifying the ownership of the Imperial Green jade and the debt of 29 million yuan.
Liu Yihang felt very relieved.
The only awkward thing was that I got so busy that I forgot my promise to Chen Yiping.
Having just finished what he was doing here, Liu Yihang immediately rushed to Chen Yiping's teacher's dormitory.
When I arrived at the door, I knocked.
It turned out that Yunyin opened the door.
Yunyin pouted at him, indicating that the teacher was angry.
Liu Yihang hurriedly went to the study to admit his mistake.
Chen Yiping finished class at six o'clock and rushed to eat. After the meal, he brought some fruit home, cut it up, and waited for his two children.
Yunyin was very punctual; she arrived promptly at seven o'clock.
That guy Liu Yihang.
He looked out the door again and again, but the person still didn't come.
It's already 8:30.
During this time, Yunyin kept trying to call Liu Yihang, but Chen Yiping stopped her each time. He wanted to see when the child would remember their promise.
Fortunately, they still came; they hadn't completely forgotten.
"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late." Liu Yihang bowed deeply, his attitude very sincere.
"Where have you been?" Chen Yiping asked calmly.
Liu Yihang considered embellishing his story, but in the end he told the truth: "Boss Miao asked me to discuss a business deal, but we were busy cutting stones and forgot about the time."
Chen Yiping was immediately furious.
"You're so young, you should be studying hard. Reading should be your main job. Instead, you're always causing trouble and getting involved in jade gambling."
Is money really that important?
You clearly have such great talent, but you don't know how to work hard. No matter how much others worry, it's useless. I don't want to teach you anymore. You can leave! Chen Yiping was clearly disappointed.
Actually, he acted on impulse, not wanting his students to go astray.
Liu Yihang got angry after hearing his words.
"Teacher, you must have a wonderful family, right?"
You've definitely never eaten sweet potato peels to fill your stomach, never gone barefoot in the freezing cold, and never worn a single layer of clothing in the dead of winter.
If you've never worried about money, how can you understand the significance of money to me?
Money gave me self-respect and self-confidence, money gave me confidence, and money gave me freedom. Without money, I wouldn't have been able to get into Tianzhou University, I wouldn't have met you, and I would only be an ordinary farmer in the countryside!
I have used up the first half of my life to get here, and this is where you people start.
You say I haven't worked hard? I disagree. Does hard work only count as studying hard?
For me, studying, working hard, and striving for progress are all just ways to make life better and more dignified for myself and my family.
"I can't comprehend your noble sentiments and your dedication to art; I'm just an ordinary person." Liu Yihang said indignantly, his eyes bloodshot.
Yunyin quietly tugged at his hand from behind: "Don't say anything, Yihang."
Chen Yiping was also somewhat agitated: "Let him speak!"
Liu Yihang's excited heart gradually calmed down. He knew he had caused trouble, but he did not regret it. This was what he truly felt.
Chen Yiping has no right to deny the hardships and struggles he has endured along the way.
But as a student, he really shouldn't have talked back to his teacher.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I got too excited. If you don't want to teach me, I don't want to learn anymore. Just pretend you never had me as your apprentice!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply and ran away.
Even Yunyin was forgotten.
He had been calm and collected for the past few months, but Chen Yiping's words today completely broke him down.
What will he do if he doesn't make money? Without money, he won't even be able to make it to Tianzhou City, let alone become Chen Yiping's student.
He always felt that making money and loving money was not shameful.
After Liu Yihang left, Chen Yiping asked Yunyin with some disappointment, "Xiaoyun, were my words too harsh and hurt his feelings?"
