Chapter 52 Polishing

The pendant carving in Du Ruo's hand is almost finished. She has left the children to Yuan Tingchuan these days and buried herself in the studio.

The next step is polishing to make the rough jade shine.

She didn't do this step in the past, and handed it over directly to the people from Yuan Group. Firstly, she didn't have the conditions to do it, and secondly, Yuan Group started out in the jewelry and jade business, so they were familiar with the final processing and there was no need to worry.

Now that Du Ruo has her own studio, she still wants to do this process herself.

The process of "polishing" may seem ordinary, but it is actually very important. Superior polishing technology can make the jade transparent and sparkling.

First, use a small oil stone to polish it to smooth out the stubble left by the carving knife and make the carved area smooth and flat.

The second process is to use sandpaper of different coarseness and fineness to frost and polish further.

The third process is called "drilling", which is to handle the details of the carving.

The fourth step is to use a brush dipped in diamond powder to polish the surface of the jadeite over and over again.

Finally, tools made of bamboo shells are used to continue polishing the surface of the pendant, striving for perfection.

All Du Ruo has eyes for is the jade in her hand. Any external affairs are nothing but clouds to her.

Yuan Tingchuan stood quietly for half the night, the light in his eyes flickering. He suddenly envied the jade in Du Ruo's hand, being so favored by the beauty. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, and for the first time in his life he felt confused.

Du Ruo stretched her waist, held the polished Fu Lu Shou in her palm and admired it carefully. Another daughter was born to her. When she thought of her daughter "getting married", Du Ruo sighed and felt a little melancholy.

A bony finger with distinct joints reached out and took the pendant from Du Ruo's hand.

Du Ruo was startled. She had always been alone at home, and the sudden appearance of another person made her heart beat wildly. It took her a long time to react and she realized that it should be Yuan Tingchuan.

Yuan Tingchuan held the jadeite in his palm, his eyes showing a trace of seriousness, and said: "Why are you sighing? If you can't bear to part with it, you can just keep it and not sell it. You don't need this little money, right?"

Du Ruo smiled: "This is my dear daughter. She is going to get married. Although I am reluctant to let her go, I can't just keep her at home. I have to find a good in-law family for her that loves and cherishes her."

Yuan Tingchuan smiled, and with a deep look in his eyes he asked, "I think I am the man who loves her, understands her, and cherishes her. What does Ms. Du think of me?"

Du Ruo raised his eyebrows and said half-seriously, "If we only talk about jadeite, I really think Mr. Yuan and this Fu Lu Shou pendant are a perfect match. Mr. Yuan has been lacking a bit of luck recently. Maybe this jade pendant can bring him some good fortune?"

Yuan Tingchuan lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant in his palm. Below it was a lush green jade gourd. The upper part of the gourd was cleverly made into a smoke shape using red and purple jade. It was delicately carved and very attractive.

Yuan Tingchuan looked at Du Ruo deeply, then gently held the jade in his palm and said, "I will cherish it."

Du Ruo's brows wrinkled inadvertently. The boss's situation was not good. She hoped that he could avoid this disaster. After all, they knew each other, and she still wanted to see Yuan Tingchuan safe and sound.

She vaguely felt that she seemed to be in a little trouble, but it was harmless.

Yuan Tingchuan was so confused by his own little thoughts that he fled in a panic, forgetting about his son when he left. It was unknown whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally.

Du Ruo was helpless. By the time she found out, the boss had already disappeared without a trace. She couldn't just go to his house and give the child to him, right?

But she is really busy now. Although she has invested in Chen Yuan, she cannot just leave it alone. She is the legal representative. Fortunately, she has already resigned from the factory, otherwise she would be even busier.

She went to the construction site several times and then went to the company to hold a meeting with Chen Yuan and others. As soon as she saw Shang Yi off, Ling Yun ran to Linshan City to find her.

Ling Yun saw her and yelled, "Ruoruo, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"

Du Ruo wanted to laugh as soon as she saw him. This guy has been the same for decades, looking like a golden butterfly all day long. He is really a big treasure.

Du Ruo asked, "Why are you here? Is there something going on at the company?"

Ling Yun said with a smile: "Nothing, so I can't come to see you?"

Du Ruo ignored him and turned away. Ling Yun caught up with him and said, "A large number of antiques and cultural relics have appeared in the southwest market. The strange thing is that no large tombs have been unearthed recently. Someone showed me one or two things, and they were all real and old. I want to go and take a look. I want you to go with me."

Du Ruo said, "I am a jade carver and I am only interested in jadeite. Are you mistaken?"

Ling Yun still smiled and said, "Ruoruo, you lied to me again. The two antiques you sold to Yuan Group last time, weren't they picked up at a bargain price?"

Du Ruo pretended to be angry and said, "You investigated me?"

This made Ling Yun laugh. He said, "There are no secrets in this mall. It can be said that there are no absolute secrets. Besides, Ruoruo, you don't mean to keep it secret, do you?"

This is true. If Du Ruo wanted to keep it a secret, she would not have asked Yang Ze for help.

Du Ruo was really interested in this matter. She thought about it and agreed to go with Ling Yun in three days.

Since they were going on a long journey, they had to make arrangements for the children. Mrs. Chen strongly requested that she look after them, but Du Ruo did not agree.

If this can be solved with money, it is best to solve it with money. It is not good to rely too much on personal connections.

She was thinking about where to find a reliable person, not only for now, but also because she would be very busy in the future and it would be impossible for her to be with her son all the time. She had to find a reliable person to take care of the family.

Just when she was in trouble, a few people came to her house, and they were sent by Yuan Tingchuan.

Du Ruo called Yuan Tingchuan's office, and Yuan Tingchuan said without further ado: "Uncle Wu and Aunt Liu are both elders in the family, loyal and reliable, and they are all my people. Just trust them. You are also busy there, how can you watch over the two children all the time? Stay."

Du Ruo thought about it and decided that this was fine for the time being. After a year or two, when her son grew up and could take care of himself, she could hire a nanny to do the housework and clean the house.

Du Ruo was afraid that Han Zhe would not be able to adapt, so she secretly observed him for a few days and found that Han Zhe and Yuan Shurui really got along well. The two little guys ate together, slept together, played together, and made noises together. They never got angry or quarreled.

Han Zhe didn't think too much about the extra people in the house. This was his home, and his mother said they were here to take care of her, so they stayed. Anyway, his mother was busy making money to support him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for her.
