The pendant carving in Du Ruo's hand is nearing completion. She has left the children to Yuan Tingchuan these days and buried herself in the studio.
The next step is "polishing" to make the "unpolished jade" shine.
She had not done this step before, and handed it directly to the people from Yuan Group. Firstly, she did not 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 a dedicated 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 oilstone to polish it to smooth out the stubble left by the carving knife and make the carved area smooth and flat.
The second step is to use sandpaper of different coarseness and fineness to frost and polish further.
The third process is called "drilling and grinding", which is to deal with the details of the carving.
The fourth step is to use a brush dipped in diamond powder to polish the surface of the jade over and over again.
Finally, use tools made of bamboo shells to continue polishing the surface of the pendant, striving for perfection.
All Du Ruo had eyes for was the jade in her hand; any external affairs were nothing to her.
Yuan Tingchuan stood quietly for half the night, with the light in his eyes flickering. He suddenly envied the jade in Du Ruo's hand. He could not tell what he felt in his heart, and for the first time in his life he felt confused.
Du Ruo stretched lazily, 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, thin finger 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 pound. It took her a long time to realize that it should be Yuan Tingchuan.
Yuan Tingchuan held the jade in his palm, his eyes serious as he said, "Why are you sighing? If you can't bear to part with it, you can just keep it. You don't need this little money, do you?"
Du Ruo smiled: "This is my own daughter. She is getting married. Although I am reluctant to let her go, I can't just leave her at home. I have to find her a good in-law who loves and cherishes her."
Yuan Tingchuan smiled, his eyes filled with meaning as he asked, "I feel like I'm the one who loves her, understands her, and cherishes her. What do you think of me, Ms. Du?"
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 jade pendant are a perfect match. Mr. Yuan has been lacking a bit of luck lately. Perhaps 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 of red and purple jade to look like smoke. The carving was exquisite and very attractive.
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Du Ruo deeply, then gently held the jade in his palm. He said, "I will cherish it."
Du Ruo frowned inadvertently. The boss was in a bad situation. She hoped that he could avoid this disaster. After all, they knew each other before, 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 embarrassed by his own little thoughts. He fled in panic and forgot about his son when he left. It was not known 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 chase him to his house and give his child to him, right?
But she is really busy now. Although she has invested in Chen Yuan, she cannot completely let go. She is the legal representative. Fortunately, she has 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.
As soon as Ling Yun saw her, he 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: "If there is nothing, then why can't I come to see you?"
Du Ruo ignored him and turned to leave. Ling Yun caught up with him and said, "A large number of antiques and cultural relics have appeared in the southwest trading market. What's strange is that no large tombs have been unearthed recently. Someone brought one or two items to show me, and they are all real and old. I want to go and take a look. I want you to come with me."
Du Ruo said, "I'm a jade carver and I'm only interested in jadeite. Are you mistaken?"
Ling Yun continued to smile and said, "Ruoruo, you lied to me again. Weren't those two antiques you gave to the Yuan Group last time a bargain?"
Du Ruoyang pretended to be angry and said, "Are you investigating me?"
This made Ling Yun laugh. He said, "There are no secrets in the business world. It can be said that there are no absolute secrets. Besides, Ruoruo, you don't seem to be trying to keep it a secret, do you?"
This is true. If Du Ruo wanted to keep it secret, he would not have asked Yang Ze for help.
Du Ruo was really interested in this matter. After thinking about it, she agreed to go with Ling Yun in three days.
Since they were going on a long journey, they had to take care of the children. Mrs. Chen strongly requested that she look after them, but Du Ruo did not agree.
If something can be solved with money, it is best to solve it with money. It is not good to rely too much on favors.
She was thinking about where to find a reliable person. Not only could she use him now, but 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. They were sent by Yuan Tingchuan.
Du Ruo called Yuan Tingchuan's office. Yuan Tingchuan said without further ado, "Uncle Wu and Aunt Liu are both elders in the family. They are loyal and reliable. They are both my people. Just trust them. You are busy over there too. 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 cleaning.
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 have too many thoughts about the extra people in the house. This was his home. His mother said they were here to take care of him, so he let them stay. Anyway, his mother was busy making money to support him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for her.
