Chapter 37: The Trap



In the stone cutting workshop, Du Ruo said leisurely, "Let's cut my rough stone first."

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

This man may seem arrogant, but he is actually very thoughtful and observant, and he always puts reason above emotion.

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

Behind Yuan Tingchuan's seemingly casual attitude, it is actually a test for Du Ruo. If she can break out of the siege and step on the other stone gamblers, it will prove that Du Ruo is indeed capable. Yuan Tingchuan will be happy to see it happen, as it also proves that he has the vision of a talent scout.

If Du Ruo fails, it means that 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 flashed in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. He liked 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 cutter without any communication.

The wool was unraveled piece by piece, and the room went from being quiet at the beginning to whispers, and then gradually turned into shock and numbness.

Among the thirty pieces of raw materials, none of them was ruined by the gamble. The worst one was also of oily green ground and was not small in size, which was also an advantage.

A total of three top-quality jadeite pieces 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, such as 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 best "cockscomb red" among red jade. It has bright color, as red as fire, and delicate jade quality, like a dazzling flame. It is a rare and top-grade product.

Yuan Tingchuan's face showed a hint of satisfaction. He turned around, stretched out his palm, 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 was naturally Yuan Tingchuan, who once again proved his outstanding leadership ability, bringing a huge harvest for the Yuan Group and creating immeasurable value.

With these jades, the Yuan family won't have to worry about raw materials for three years, and 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."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. What does this mean?

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

Just like the beauty in front of me, with beautiful eyes and charming smile, but in fact, there are thorns that can prick my hand.

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

Yuan Tingchuan rubbed his fingertips and suddenly smiled.

He is a person who doesn't like to laugh, but this smile of his actually carries a bit of unrestrainedness and cynicism.

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

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

Du Ruo also smiled. She said, "I've always believed that when collaborating, one should trust the people they employ, and not employ the people they doubt. Since you still have doubts, it's not 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 downfall 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's dark eyes stared directly at Du Ruo. He said, "Don't employ someone if you doubt him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him. Ms. Du is right. Please let Ms. Du make the full decision on the next auction. I will not interfere in any way."

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

Yuan Tingchuan spread 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 thinking about their own things.

A hint of surprise flashed in Assistant Bai's eyes. He had been with Yuan Tingchuan for more than ten years. This man's imposing aura was not pretended, but was forged through countless bloody battles.

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

Special Assistant Bai, I can't recall the last time Mr. Yuan was this happy. Anyway, it's been a long time. This Ms. Du is no ordinary person!

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

Yuan Tingchuan did what he said. He said nothing and handed the meeting over to Du Ruo to preside over. He just watched with a smile.

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

The people coming and going were more or less serious, some were discussing something in a low voice, and there was 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. All the burdens on his shoulders had been lifted off his shoulders, and he felt free from worry.

Du Ruo, on the other hand, was not as relaxed 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 material on the number plate in their hands.

After taking a look at Yuan Tingchuan who looked like he was sightseeing, Du Ruo bit her back teeth. If she still didn't realize that she had been fooled by Yuan Tingchuan, then she would be a complete fool.

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

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

He seemed to trust Du Ruo immensely and let her go completely, but in fact he was blocking Du Ruo's retreat, squeezing out the last bit of value from Du Ruo and winning 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.
