The No. 3 rough material was placed on the stone-cutting machine. The audience was quiet, not many people were betting, and there was not much enthusiasm. Ling Yun was unhappy about this, and in order to support him, he actually spent money to hire a few people to liven up the atmosphere.
These people were very dedicated and shouted at the top of their lungs, which made Boss Ling very satisfied.
The overall performance of the No. 3 rough material is very average. It is placed here just to make up the numbers. It lacks all the characteristics of producing green. No wonder no one on the scene is optimistic about it.
Perhaps it is the law of extremes that reverses itself. As soon as I wiped the surface of the skin, a rich emerald green color appeared beneath the surface. The green color was extremely pure, like a clear spring appearing under the light.
"Oh, this is glass-type imperial green?"
"It appeared just after I rubbed the skin a little bit? That's weird. I just shone the flashlight for a long time and didn't see anything."
"The skin is too coarse. How can a green-producing material have such coarse skin?"
"Who can say for sure about this? Haven't you heard what others say? Even gods can't tell the difference between a piece of jade and a piece of jade. Betting on a piece of jade is all about gambling."
"Don't be happy too soon. Maybe he's just a green-skinned guy." This man had just bet on the number one raw material. He was in a bad mood after losing the bet, so he stood aside and criticized the situation.
There were a few other people who had the same idea as him, and the scene was in chaos.
While everyone was making a fuss, the stone-cutting master had already cut out one-third of the rough material, which was still top-grade imperial green jadeite. The discussions below gradually stopped, and everyone breathed softly, waiting for a result.
No matter how many people predicted its failure, Jade No. 3 remained strong and continued to perform well. In the end, except for the surface, the entire jade was a rich green.
The boss endured the pain in his heart and said to Du Ruo, "Congratulations to this lady, it's a big increase."
Ling Yun smiled and put his arm around Ji Bailin's shoulders: "Brother, you are still young. You should learn more from me in the future." His original intention was to tease Ji Bailin. After all, the silly boy had just cheered excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Ji Bailin said seriously, "Brother Ling, I will study hard. Please take care of me in the future."
Ling Yun was stunned. He said seriously, "For people like us, we can have fun, but we can't get addicted to it, let alone become obsessed with it. Your Ji family doesn't deal in antique jewelry, so you don't have to play with this."
Ji Bailin smiled, with sincere gratitude in his eyes: "Brother Ling, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Du Ruo completed the formalities, cashed the check, and held the jade in his hand. Today was another fruitful day. He had just spent a large sum of money to buy a box of antiques, and made a fortune in the end. With all the money in and out, he made a lot of money, which made him very happy.
It was almost midnight when she got home. Yuan Tingchuan was reading documents on the coffee table in the living room. Du Ruo paused, knowing that he was waiting for her.
Ling Yun yawned as he walked upstairs. Ji Bailin waved at his sister and said, "Don't call me for dinner tomorrow morning. I want to sleep."
Du Ruo sat down next to Yuan Tingchuan, put her arm around his waist, and leaned her cheek against his back. She said, "Are you angry? I'll take you out to play next time."
"That's really not necessary. I've been a bit busy lately. It's okay for you to go out and have a look around with them. After these few days, I'll take you somewhere and give you a big gift."
Du Ruo smiled and put her arms around his neck: "Tell me quickly, what is this gift? It's so mysterious."
Yuan Tingchuan kissed the corner of her mouth gently, and said in a low voice: "I am trying hard to please you, so that I can get what I want in the future. It is naturally a great gift, otherwise how can I give it to you?"
Du Ruo giggled and kissed the man on the cheek. "A big gift from the boss?" It was definitely worth the wait.
The donation ceremony of Yuan Group was reported in detail by H City TV and various newspapers and magazines.
On the day of the donation ceremony, the scene was decorated with lights and colors. Yuan Tingchuan appeared in front of the camera in a neat suit and shook hands with the old director with a smile. The atmosphere was peaceful.
All major newspapers and magazines made detailed reports on the donated antiques, citing classics and writing eloquently, which occupied the headlines of the newspapers that day and sparked heated discussions on the streets.
Mr. Smith stared at the live broadcast on TV, his brows furrowed tightly. This couldn't be right. These things were clearly in his hands, so how could they have been donated to the museum by the Yuan Group? He had a bad feeling in his heart.
If it was someone else who did this, perhaps that person would have been deceived and bought a fake by mistake, but the person who donated it was Yuan Tingchuan. The Yuan family has been in the antique business for generations. Although the company's business has now diversified, collecting antiques is their forte.
What's more, Smith knew Yuan Tingchuan, and he had no doubt about Yuan Tingchuan's ability. The balance in his heart had gradually tilted.
Mr. Smith acted decisively and invited several antique appraisal experts to appraise his boxes of antiques. As expected, the results were all fakes.
Mr. Smith was furious. Chen Guochang, when he was desperate, actually set up such a big trap for him. The antiques worth nine figures were all fakes. He was taking advantage of him.
Mr. Smith didn't care about anyone's face and directly reported the matter to the investigation team.
The investigation team was about to leave, but after learning about this incident, they went to the museum to investigate again. Unexpectedly, they found two more fakes. The investigation team acted decisively and, together with the public security organs, interrogated Shi Lin overnight.
The next day, Chen Guochang was given a pair of silver bracelets and invited in for tea, but Chen Guochang failed.
Old Mr. Chen held Bai Minhua's hand and burst into tears.
"I'm so old, and I'm about to send off my young son. My daughter, you have to help your father? Give your brother a chance to survive? Save him?"
Bai Minhua gently wiped the old man's tears with a handkerchief.
"Hey, Dad, you know that Ji Yuan and I are not the ones who run the Ji family. I want to help, but there's nothing I can do."
Mr. Chen's eyes flashed, and he said, "I still have a few things. If you are willing to help pack them, take them all. As long as your brother can return safely, everyone in the family will miss you."
"He's my biological brother. I feel bad for him when something happens to him. Don't worry, Dad. I'll tell Ji Yuan to think of a solution. If it doesn't work, I'll talk to A Lin. After all, he's his biological uncle."
The old man was moved and took Bai Minhua's hand, saying: "We are still a family. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Don't worry, your brother will be grateful to you."
Ji Yuan was also in a difficult situation. He was reluctant to let his wife suffer and really wanted to help. However, he had not cared about worldly affairs for so many years. He couldn't find anyone to ask for help, so the couple had to go to Ji Bailin.
