Chapter 117: Young but capable
It’s not that Gu Ning didn’t want to have dinner with them, but she felt that although they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, she was still a young girl after all, and she was afraid of rumors if she went out with a few grown men.
So she just let Zhou Zhenghong take her to the city center and she wanted to eat by herself.
Zhou Zhenghong and his companions did not suspect anything.
On the way to the city center, Gu Ning called Mr. Fu and asked him if he was free tomorrow so that he could meet him.
When Mr. Fu heard that Gu Ning was coming to City G, he was naturally happy, and he had plenty of time, so he readily agreed. Besides, he had promised to help Gu Ning, and it was not perfunctory.
Thinking about what happened in the gambling stone street today, Mr. Fu couldn't help but chat with Gu Ning for a few more words, saying that he thought it was her at first! But he didn't expect it to be a woman in her twenties.
He also said that after Mr. Bai got Violet, he showed off to him, which made him very angry. He also regretted not going when they invited him to go today.
Gu Ning couldn't help laughing and said meaningfully, "Grandpa Fu, just say you know that girl and that she has a better jadeite waiting for you. Wouldn't that help you win back the game?"
"But I don't even know that girl! If it were you, I could show off." Mr. Fu said resentfully.
"Actually, I am that girl." Gu Ning admitted readily.
In fact, Gu Ning had his own plans, so he did not hide his intentions from Mr. Fu.
Of course, she would not do anything bad to Mr. Fu. He just wanted to expand his network through Mr. Fu.
"What?"
Hearing this, Mr. Fu was shocked. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly, and asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that the girl today was you?"
"Yes! In order to avoid exposing my identity and getting into trouble, I changed my clothes. I didn't tell you today because I was in a hurry to raise some funds and didn't have time to tell you. Grandpa Fu, please don't blame me!" Gu Ning said pitifully.
Originally, Mr. Fu really blamed Gu Ning for not informing him, but after hearing her explanation, he didn't care anymore.
Of course, he wouldn't really blame Gu Ning.
"Hmph! I, an old man, will be magnanimous and won't bother with you." Old Fu said magnanimously.
Despite this, Gu Ning still said with a worried look: "But Grandpa Yan was here today too. I didn't say hello to him in order to hide my identity! I wonder if he will be angry with me if he knows that person is me!"
"Hahaha! You, if Old Man Yan knew it was you, he would be very upset." In response, Old Man Fu said gloatingly, not targeting Gu Ning or Old Man Yan, maybe both! "However, now I can not only show off to Old Man Bai that I won a game, but also show off to Old Man Yan and make him angry, hahaha!" Thinking of this, Old Man Fu was very excited.
After a pause, he asked again: "But girl, do you really have jadeite that is better than violet?"
"Yes, but not now." Gu Ning said. She didn't plan to reveal the matter of the imperial green.
"Okay, then I'll wait, old man." Mr. Fu believed in Gu Ning's ability and believed that he would be able to find a better jadeite than Violet.
After talking to Mr. Fu for a few words, he hung up and said to Zhou Zhenghong, "Uncle Zhou, let's book a private room at the Denghuang Hotel tomorrow. Come with me to meet someone. He will help us with the company registration and business license. We should be smoother."
"Okay, boss." Zhou Zhenghong responded without asking who the other person was.
Here, after Mr. Fu and Gu Ning hung up the phone, they couldn't wait to call Mr. Bai.
"Hello, Old Man Fu, what's the matter? Don't disturb me when I'm looking at my violets. Tsk tsk tsk! Violets, oh, violets, they're so rare!" As soon as Old Bai answered the phone, he started to scold. His boastful attitude was so blatant.
But this time, Mr. Fu was not angry, but asked meaningfully: "Old Bai! What do you think of that girl's ability in gambling on stones today?"
Old Bai didn't know what Old Fu meant by asking this question, but when it came to that girl, Old Bai was somewhat interested and commented very pertinently: "She is a capable person. Even experts don't have the ability to have four consecutive surges!"
"Haha! That's right, girl Gu is amazing. Last week she uncovered several pieces of mid-to-high-quality and top-quality jadeite, and this time she uncovered four in a row. Girl Gu said that next time she finds a jadeite better than violet, she will be the first to tell me. So, I, old Fu, don't like your violet jadeite." Old Fu said proudly, his tone and attitude showing off how good his relationship with her was.
"Wait, what did you say? Is that the girl today the one named Gu Ning that you mentioned before? But why didn't Old Man Yan recognize her?" Hearing this, Old Bai was very surprised and looked incredulous.
Yes! Mr. Yan obviously knew Gu Ning! Why didn't he recognize her? The reason why Mr. Bai was so excited when he heard about Gu Ning was entirely because of the influence of Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan, because they had a high opinion of the girl and would talk about her from time to time. Otherwise, how could he be interested in a stranger!
Although Gu Ning was young, he was very capable. He not only solved several jadeite pieces, but also picked up two leaks.
This shows that this ability is not to be underestimated.
However, Old Man Fu said that next time she had a jadeite better than Violet, she would be the first to tell Old Man Fu, which immediately made Old Man Bai jealous.
If the jade is better than violet, then it must be the best jade, right? There are imperial green, blood beauty, purple eyes, blue elves, fortune, longevity and so on.
Thinking of these jades, Bai Lao was excited. Even though he knew that these top-grade jades were very rare and not easy to find, he was really looking forward to it because Gu Ning had found so many jades twice! No, he had to go meet that girl and couldn't let Old Man Fu get there first.
"Yes! Because she didn't want to be recognized, she changed her clothes. Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going for a walk. It's not easy for girl Gu to come to G City, and she wants to treat me to dinner tomorrow morning! It's so thoughtful, hahahaha!" After saying this proudly, Mr. Fu hung up the phone.
In fact, Mr. Fu could more or less guess that Gu Ning's intention in telling him that the woman today was her was actually her, but he didn't mind.
He did have a very good impression of Gu Ning, and he really wanted to make friends with such a capable person, so he also really wanted to help her.
On this side, before Mr. Bai could say anything, all he heard was a beeping sound. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and almost dropped the phone.
