Li Yang immediately became interested when he heard this: "What kind of auction?"
Tao Qian explained, "I heard that the provincial jade association contacted some jade merchants from home and abroad to organize this event. In addition to the finest jade pieces and materials, some antique jades will be auctioned." He smiled, "Anyway, we go to this kind of event just to make up the numbers, and at least we can broaden our horizons.
You can also try your luck with the things you made from this material."
This auction brought together various jade merchants from the upper class, as well as dignitaries. The scale and level were extraordinary, and the prices were inestimable. If the association had not sent an invitation letter to Mr. Tao, he would not have been qualified to go.
The reason why Tao Qian invited Li Yang was, on the one hand, that he felt they had a connection, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what kind of surprising performance she would have at the jade auction.
Li Yang naturally knew what Tao Qian meant. Anyone who could go to the auction must be either rich or noble. The little money in her and Tao Qian's pockets was probably not enough to fill their stomachs.
But as Tao Qian said, go and broaden your horizons, maybe you can even sell the goods.
She thanked Tao Qian and chatted with him for a while, and then Mr. Tao came back.
After finalizing the pattern for the remaining material with Mr. Tao, Li Yang took out the material he had bought in Shenzhen Market and said, "Mr. Tao, I have a piece of material here that I want to make as a gift for a relative. Could you please take a look at it?"
Old Tao looked at the shiny black material in Li Yang's hand and asked, "Green again?"
Li Yang smiled and said, "I guess so."
After hearing this, Mr. Tao immediately opened the window, and it turned out to be a piece of pure imperial green!
He asked Li Yang, "Such fine material, are you giving it to your relatives?"
Li Yang nodded. "To be honest, my cousin is pregnant and hasn't been feeling well. I wanted to keep Yu Bao safe and I happened to come across the right material, so I wanted to give it to her."
Tao Lao's eyes flashed with admiration: "You are a good girl." He observed carefully and said thoughtfully, "Since you want to keep the mother and child safe, you can carve a mother and child peace locket, and also carve a jade Buddha for your cousin. What do you think?"
The so-called mother-child peace buckle is a large ring buckled with a small ring, which symbolizes the connection between mother and child and the safety of mother and child. Pregnant women wear it during pregnancy, and the small ring can be given to the child after the child is born. As for the jade Buddha, people have always said that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Mr. Tao's idea also comes from this.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Tao, you and I are thinking the same thing."
She asked Mr. Tao about the time and was told that she could pick it up in three days. Three days later was Sunday, so she called Li Xue again and asked her to come out and meet her.
On the phone, Li Yang noticed that Li Xue's voice was a bit nasal and her tone was lower than usual. He couldn't help but worry: "Cousin, is there something wrong?"
Li Xue immediately denied it: "It's nothing, I just caught a cold when I went to study."
The factory has opportunities for training every six months, and positions for promotion or salary increase are also drawn from them. Li Xue was in poor health and was not supposed to go, but when Zhang Xiuying found out, she forced Li Xue to apply to the factory, saying that she would bear the consequences if anything happened. Only then did she fight for this position.
Li Yang naturally knew that going to study was not Li Xue's original intention, but thinking of the mess in her in-laws' family, he couldn't say anything: "You are pregnant now, you must put yourself first in everything, and don't let yourself be wronged anymore.
If you have a serious cold, go to the hospital and don’t just endure it.”
Finally, Li Yang brought up the idea of meeting again: "Please make some time on Sunday and I'll come see you."
Zhang Xiuying doesn't like anyone in the Li family, including Li Xue, so when Li Yang visits Li Xue, he will not step into the Xu family's house unless it is necessary. Now that he has discovered Xu Xiangdong's scandal, it is even more inappropriate to talk about it in the Xu family.
Li Xue naturally agreed repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yang came to his senses. Li Xue's behavior just now was not as simple as having a cold.
Li Xue is sentimental and thoughtful. Xu Xiangdong is obviously a repeat offender, so she might not be unable to see anything. So, did they have a fight?
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but become worried again.

Li Xue turned off the hands-free button and hung up the phone. Zhang Xiuying, who was sitting nearby and watching, snorted, "You're quite sensible. You didn't tell your cousin about your quarrel."
Li Xue's eyes were still red. She touched her belly and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Xiuying became annoyed. "You have such a sad face all day long, like someone owes you something. Who are you doing this for?" She scolded her louder and louder. "Didn't Xiangdong explain to you that it was his colleague who accidentally touched it? Why can't you be more magnanimous?"
What Zhang Xiuying was talking about was that when Li Xue came back from study, Xu Xiangdong arrived home in the middle of the night, and then she found a lipstick mark on the collar of his clean shirt.
At the beginning, Xu Xiangdong pretended to be sleepy and didn't want to say much. Li Xue couldn't do anything to him, so she sat beside the bed and cried.
Xu Xiangdong was so annoyed by her crying that he sat up and yelled at Li Xue, "It's just a lipstick mark. I'm already tired enough going to work every day, dealing with my boss and colleagues at work, and then I have to coax you when I get home. Do you want me to live?"
Li Xue was already feeling aggrieved, and when she saw that Xu Xiangdong not only didn't explain or apologize, but instead became angry and embarrassed, she became even more upset. She cried, "Last time it was a silk scarf, and this time it's a lipstick mark. Don't you have to explain something to me?"
Xu Xiangdong had something to hide and thought that getting angry would make Li Xue shut up, but she refused to give in.
He got up from the bed and said in a very cold tone: "It's a colleague's. It was all done accidentally by a colleague. Are you satisfied?"
