Chapter 15 Imperial Green

It’s good for leaders to be obsessed with carving, and it’s best if they are like Master Wu, so as to avoid causing trouble for them.

There's not much money to be made here, and you can only earn a meager salary, and the purpose is to have some leisure time.

If you encounter a situation where you are not a good leader, it would be so depressing.

Du Ruo was delighted when he heard this. It was like someone sent a pillow just when he was dozing off. What a great workroom! It was so convenient. What's more, it was a quiet place. It was exactly what he wanted.

After Zhang Jun left, Du Ruo flipped through the report, but there was nothing to see.

She picked up her precious stone and pushed open the door of the adjacent workshop.

As expected of a workshop arranged by an old master, the tools are very complete. Except for personal tools such as carving knives, everything else is available.

Du Ruo placed the stone on the cutting table, turned around, closed the door, and put on the hook.

She had cut stones before. It’s funny to say that when she bought the rough material for the first time, she thought she might be able to cut out an imperial green stone.

Since she was well-funded, she set up a stone-cutting room for herself and bought all the best tools with a wave of her hand.

As a result, her stone-cutting skills became more and more sophisticated, but her disappointment piled up like a mountain.

It turned out that she really had no luck in gambling with stones.

Now, Du Ruo holds this stone as if it were a rare treasure, a stone with emerald green on it, which is so exciting.

Du Ruo placed the stone on the stone cutter, carefully adjusted the angle, and gently cut off a piece of the skin.

Nothing.

Um??

She twitched her lips and looked at the surface carefully. There was no sign of green at all. What was going on?

Not giving up, I cut another piece, still white cotton?

Cut another piece, and then another piece, and it's still white cotton. This...

Du Ruo was dumbfounded as she looked at the stone that was cut into pieces the size of a small bowl...

What is going on? Where is the jadeite?

She gritted her teeth and moved the small stone to the stone grinding machine next to her. She wanted to grind it to the last particle. She just didn't believe that there was really no jade in it.

It turns out that her golden finger can never go wrong.

After just a few wipes, a hint of green appeared without warning. It was such a noble green that it captivated people at first sight.

This is... Imperial Green?

Du Ruo's hands were shaking badly. She had several pieces of imperial green jadeite, but she had never opened a piece of it by herself.

She didn't have that fate!! She was destined to be with white cotton when she was cutting stones. The white color hurt her eyes and her heart. They were all money!

Now, this pure green color appeared in her sight. Du Ruo took a deep breath and stayed calm. She must stay calm.

Du Ruo didn't know how long she had been standing there. In the meantime, Zhang Jun knocked on the door and called her to eat, but she didn't go.

It was not until she held the entire piece of jade in her palm that she realized her feet were so numb that she almost lost all feeling.

She moved cautiously, and the numb feeling was really sour and refreshing.

The jade in her hand made her happy, but also a little disappointed.

This piece of emerald is so green that it seems to be dripping with water. In the sunlight it is a solemn lake green, deep and noble, mysterious and dignified.

Unfortunately, there were some impurities on its edges, and its size was not large, only half the size of Duruo's palm.

Even so, this small piece of imperial green jadeite made Du Ruo excited. In the past, with her knife skills, she would have been able to fetch tens of millions for such a small piece of imperial green jadeite.

Even looking at it now is a delight to the eyes.

Du Ruo held the jade in her palm and admired it obsessively until there was a knock on the door: "Team Leader, it's time to get off work. Are we all leaving?"

Du Ruo finally came to his senses, raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Oh my god, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

She said, "You all go away."

By the time she finished packing and came out, everyone had left.

Although this is a quiet place, it is quite boring to do nothing here all day, and everyone leaves when it is time to get off work.

Du Ruo changed his clothes, found a piece of paper to wrap the jadeite, and then found an old towel from the workshop and wrapped it around the outside to prevent it from being bumped.

He put the things in the cloth bag and slowly walked out of the workshop door carrying it.

We didn't meet too many people along the way. Generally, the workshop is very busy. At the end of the working day, there are many people and things to do, and it takes a while to clean up.

Du Ruo just walked to the gate and unexpectedly found Wang Fang wandering around there. As soon as she saw Du Ruo, she rushed over, held her hand and said, "Ruo Ruo, what's wrong with you? Has anyone bullied you?"

Du Ruo asked her in surprise: "Why did you get off work so early today?"

Wang Fang stamped her feet and complained, "What are you talking about? I was worried about you. You packed up in advance and ran out as soon as the bell rang. I came here to block you. What's wrong with you? You didn't tell me whether you were okay or not?"

Du Ruo touched her nose. She really hadn't thought about this. It had been too long and she had become accustomed to being independent.

But Wang Fang was kind-hearted. Du Ruo said, "My place is quite quiet. There is not much work and not so many messy things. It is much better than before. I am very happy."

That’s definitely better than before. I picked up a piece of Imperial Green on the first day! How can I not be happy?

Wang Fang breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "That's fine. You have a lot of things to do at home now. It would be better if your work is simpler. I heard that you are going to be the team leader. Can you do it?"

Du Ruo said, "It's not a big deal. Don't you know what a scrap workshop is like? I don't have to manage them. There's no work to be arranged. We all do our own things."

Wang Fang nodded and said, "That's fine. But, Ruoruo, when will you learn how to carve?"

Du Ruo paused for a second after hearing this, then continued nonchalantly, "I've always been able to do this, and I'm pretty good at it."

Wang Fang looked at her in confusion: "Then why haven't I seen you holding a knife before?"

Du Ruo continued to lie, "My son and I are the only ones at home. When I get scared at night, I carve something and slowly I get the hang of it."

Wang Fang believed this reason. She and Du Ruo had been friends for many years and she was well aware of Du Ruo's family situation. Although her friend was beautiful, she had a miserable life.

He lost his parents when he was young and depended on his uncle for living.

The house at home also belonged to someone else.

When she was taking the entrance exam to a key high school, she had a high fever for several days for unknown reasons. She was in a daze and no one in her family took care of her.

If she hadn't gone to Du Ruo to borrow a book that day, the Du family wouldn't have known that she had a fever, which left Wang Fang speechless.

Du Ruoshao entered the examination room dazed and groggy, and finally only got into a technical secondary school, but became her schoolmate.

She always felt sorry for her friend.
