Chapter 37: Trap

In the stone cutting workshop, Du Ruo said leisurely: "Cut my raw material first."

She had already seen through Yuan Tingchuan's deeper meaning. Yuan Tingchuan's original intention was not to deepen the conflict within the team.

This man may seem arrogant, but he is actually very thoughtful and observant, and he always lets reason take precedence over emotion.

No wonder that when he was eighteen years old, he surpassed his father and was designated as the next successor of the Yuan family.

Yuan Tingchuan's seemingly casual attitude was actually a test for Du Ruo. If she could break out of the siege and crush the other stone gamblers, it would prove that Du Ruo was indeed capable. Yuan Tingchuan would be happy to see it happen, as it also proved that he had the vision of a talent scout.

If Du Ruo fails, it means she is not as skilled as others, and Yuan Tingchuan will probably have to re-evaluate her value.

After hearing Du Ruo's words, a gleam of light flashed in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. He likes smart women.

Because of the boss's aura, the room was silent for a moment. Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan stood side by side in front of the stone calender without any communication.

The wool was untied piece by piece, and the room went from quiet at the beginning to whispers, and then to shock and numbness.

There were thirty pieces of raw material, and not a single one was ruined. The worst one was of oily green color and was not small in size, which was also an advantage.

A total of three pieces of top-quality jadeite were unearthed, two pieces of imperial green glass jadeite, and one piece of red jadeite.

Red jadeite does not specifically refer to red jadeite. It includes a wide range of colors, including yellow-red, orange-red, brown-red, and other jadeite with red elements.

The value of red jadeite is generally not high. It is usually located on the surface of the raw material or near the surface. It is characterized by bright red or dark red. The best red jadeite has a glassy luster and is translucent or opaque.

This piece of red jade is the finest "Cockscomb Red" among red jade. It has bright color, as red as fire, and its jade is delicate and fine, like a dazzling flame. It is a rare and top-grade product.

Yuan Tingchuan showed a trace of satisfaction on his face. He turned around, stretched out his hand, and said happily, "Ms. Du, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The total price of these jades is an astronomical figure, and Du Ruo's commission is at least over 100 million.

However, the biggest beneficiary is naturally Yuan Tingchuan, who once again proved his outstanding leadership ability, brought a huge harvest to the Yuan Group and created immeasurable value.

With these jades, the Yuan family won't have to worry about raw materials for three years, so Yuan Tingchuan is naturally proud of it.

Du Ruo placed her fair and delicate palm on the man's bony palm and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we can work together again next time."

There was a flash of surprise in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. What did this mean?

He was stunned for a rare moment and forgot to retract his palm. The touch in his palm was delicate and soft, soft and boneless, but there was a slightly hard and thin texture on the fingertips.

Just like the beauty in front of me, with pretty eyes and a charming smile, but in fact, there are thorns pricking my hands.

Du Ruo withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your care and support. The commission can be directly transferred to my account."

Yuan Tingchuan rubbed his fingertips and suddenly smiled.

He was a person who didn't like to laugh, but this laugh actually contained a bit of carefreeness and cynicism.

He smiled and said, "If I have offended Ms. Du unintentionally, I apologize. I hope Ms. Du will forgive me."

What he said was half true and half false, half joking and half serious.

Du Ruo also smiled. She said, "I have always believed that when working with someone, you should trust them. If you doubt them, don't hire them. Since you have doubts in your heart, it won't be too late to work together again if we have the chance in the future."

Yuan Tingchuan changed his usual behavior and had a relaxed expression on his face. He put one hand in his pocket and whistled softly. There was a smile and a bit of arrogant cynicism on his handsome face.

Du Ruo was secretly shocked. She was wondering why Qu Xin was so crazy about this person?

Now it seems that Qu Xin's fall was not unjust. Such a suave and cynical young man could easily make women fall in love with him.

The most important thing is that he is a capable, skillful and decisive boss. Wow, he is the best in the world.

Yuan Tingchuan stared at Du Ruo with his dark eyes. He said, "Don't employ someone if you doubt him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him. Ms. Du is right. I will let Ms. Du make the final decision on the next auction. I will not ask even a single question."

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, aren't you afraid that I will cheat the Yuan family?"

Yuan Tingchuan threw up his hands and said, "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with their own thoughts.

There was a flash of surprise in Special Assistant Bai's eyes. He had been with Yuan Tingchuan for more than ten years. This man's domineering aura was not pretended, but was gained through countless bloody battles.

Mr. Yuan has always treated his subordinates with both kindness and severity, and rarely relaxes like this. He has high demands on his subordinates and even higher demands on himself. He is ruthless to others and even ruthless to himself.

Assistant Bai, I can't remember the last time Mr. Yuan was so happy? Anyway, it's been a long time. This Ms. Du is not simple!

In the afternoon, people from the Yuan Group held a meeting regarding tomorrow's auction.

Yuan Tingchuan did what he said and did it without saying a word. He handed the meeting over to Du Ruo to preside over and just watched with a smile.

The auction held at the Jade City Sports Center was the highlight of the expo, and many celebrities and bigwigs attended.

The people coming and going were all more or less serious; some were discussing something in low voices; a large crowd of people gathered in front of the raw materials to be auctioned.

Yuan Tingchuan was as relaxed as if he was strolling in the garden. He had unloaded all the burdens on his shoulders and felt free from worry.

Du Ruo, on the other hand, did not have it as easy as she had imagined. Assistant Bai confirmed the details with her again and again, and several stone gamblers also kept discussing with her the value of the rough materials on the number cards in their hands.

Taking a look at Yuan Tingchuan who looked like a tourist, Du Ruo bit her back teeth. If she didn't realize that she was fooled by Yuan Tingchuan, then she was a complete fool.

This sinister and despicable man set a trap for her and defeated her. He made her work like a slave for Yuan family, but also prevented her from starting her own business and competing with Yuan family at this critical juncture.

After all, Du Ruo now has a lot of capital in his hands. With Du Ruo's vision and ability, the resources he seizes must be top-notch.

He seemed to trust Du Ruo very much and let her go completely, but in fact he blocked Du Ruo's retreat and squeezed out the last bit of value from Du Ruo to win the final victory for the Yuan family.

As for Du Ruo deliberately trying to trick Yuan, that was impossible. Du Ruo believed that as long as she showed any sign, the boss would crush her to death.
