Li Yang had a good idea of what Tao Qian was talking about, but he pretended not to know. "Boss Tao, just say it."
Tao Qian smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just taking advantage of our friendship and want to ask you to buy a small piece of jade to keep as a treasure in our shop." He immediately added, "Don't worry, I'll pay the price I want. I won't take advantage of you."
The store's treasure is usually placed in the most conspicuous place in the store to attract customers.
He is a casual person in doing business. Unlike other jade merchants, he does not insist on buying only the best jade. He just buys whatever piece he likes. So until now, the store's treasure is still an emerald jade Guanyin that Tao Lao found, nothing else.
Li Yang, eager to establish a good relationship with Tao Qian and his son, naturally agreed to the request and then said, "I have a humble request, too. I wonder what Mr. Tao and Mr. Tao think."
Tao Qian said, "As long as I can do it, just ask."
Li Yang glanced at Mr. Tao, who was examining the jade, and said, "I'll have other raw stones in the future, and I might trouble you again."
When Tao Qian heard that Li Yang would have more good stuff in the future, he readily responded, "That's not difficult at all. Just bring it to me."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Old Tao looked at his son without saying a word.
His son was usually quite smart, so how could he be fooled by Li Yang so easily?
Is his craft so worthless?
But... he looked at the jade in his hand, which was without any impurities or cracks, and ultimately did not say anything to refute.
Never mind, she’s just a little girl. He wants to see how many surprises she has.
Li Yang was very happy to receive Tao Qian's promise.
Strike while the iron is hot, she had preliminary communication with Mr. Tao on the further cutting method of the jade, and expected to have four center bracelets, outer bracelet cores and other side materials.
Tao Qian knew it was rare to get even a tiny bit of jade from Li Yang, so he consciously chose the smallest piece. Li Yang said, "Boss Tao and the old man are also related by fate. Boss Tao, why don't you take the second piece?"
When Tao Qian heard this, he naturally thanked him repeatedly. Old Tao rolled his eyes and looked away.
Finally, after finalizing the four bracelets, Tao Lao said: "As for how to deal with the rest of the materials, I suggest waiting until all the slices are cut out and then see what is the safest way to make them."
Li Yang also wanted to see how much was left after cutting out the bracelet, so he naturally agreed with Mr. Tao's opinion: "I'll listen to you, old man."
Because she agreed to sell Tao Qian a piece of jade slice, Tao Qian did not even charge her the labor fee and sent her to the door of the store.
After everything was settled, Li Yang waved his sleeves and said goodbye to go home.

In the evening, Li Yang ordered two bowls of lean meat and egg noodles, and while eating the noodles with Ji Huaizhi, they talked about what happened during the day with great interest.
Li Yang used a small bowl and Ji Huaizhi used a soup bowl. They both ate with slurps. The hot noodles and delicious soup were sprinkled with chopped green onions. The whole scene was very warm.
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "I have heard of the Tao family father and son. If nothing else, their character should not be a problem."
What this means is that a girl like Li Yang doesn't have to worry about being cheated when dealing with them.
Li Yang nodded: "I think they are pretty good too."
I remembered that when I came back, I saw Ji Huaizhi packing his things and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Last week, Ji Huaizhi told her that he wanted to do some business and make some money before the New Year. It seems that it is time to set off.
Ji Huaizhi took a sip of noodle soup and said, "Take the train tomorrow morning to Shenzhen."
Looking at Ji Huaizhi's cold expression, Li Yang felt an inexplicable sense of reluctance. "How long will you be gone?"
Hearing the little girl's tone seemed to have changed, Ji Huaizhi paused in eating noodles, looked up at her, but didn't find anything unusual, and said: "If it's fast, it will take three weeks, if it's slow, it will take about a month."
"Oh." Li Yang lowered his head and started drinking the noodle soup.
It’s been a long time.
"What's wrong?" This time, Li Yang's tone was obviously lower.
Li Yang shook her head and forced a smile. "Nothing, just a little tired today." She raised her bowl. "I'll have noodle soup instead of wine. I wish you smooth sailing and peace!"
Ji Huaizhi looked at the noodles in front of him with chopped green onions floating on them and couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't refuse her kindness. He picked up the big bowl and clinked it with hers: "Thank you."

Li Yang originally wanted to ask for leave to send Ji Huaizhi off, but Ji Huaizhi declined: "It's not convenient for my home to go to the train station, so just go to work."
Looking at Ji Huaizhi's simple luggage, Li Yang felt a little uncomfortable. He was going on a long journey today, and he slept in someone else's house last night. He only had a simple breakfast. He felt so incompetent.
I thought to myself, when he comes back this time, I will have a good talk with him and let him sleep directly at home, so that it will be more convenient to take care of him.
Ji Huaizhi took a few steps and saw Li Yang still standing at the door looking at him eagerly. A place in his heart inexplicably softened.
He had left home many times, but never once had someone stood at the door and looked at him like that.
He sighed softly, turned around and walked up to Li Yang.
Li Yang was stunned when he saw Ji Huaizhi's long legs appearing before him. He looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Huaizhi rubbed the top of her head and said, "Take good care of yourself at home and wait for me to come back."
The tone was softer than usual, even with a hint of teasing. Somehow, Li Yang felt that his mood suddenly improved.
She covered her head and nodded in response: "Okay."
When he is not at home, she will eat well, sleep well and wait for him to come back.
Salary will be paid in a few days, and she has to go to the hospital for a physical check-up, and then find an opportunity to take him for a check-up. They are both living in good health.
Li Yang had beautiful thoughts in his mind and lived a fulfilling life, but his peaceful days were suddenly broken after just two days.
She was kidnapped.
One night, I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by the noise outside the door. I realized that someone was quietly prying the door open, and I almost fainted from fear.
She wanted to get up, but found herself completely limp and without any strength. She opened her mouth to call for help, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she could only make a hoarse moan.
After a lot of trouble, when he saw the dark shadow pushing the door open, he sighed to himself that he was finished.
