Meeting Yun Qi was truly unexpected. Zhang Zhe Kai closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and stopped looking at them. He was about to take a good look at the jade. He had started a company, but recently he had run into some bad luck and the company account was running out of funds. The fastest way to make money was through gambling on jade. Zhang Zhe Kai heard that there was a large jade trade fair in Y City these days, so he came. Although he arrived a few days late, it was impossible for all the good pieces to have been selected.
Generally speaking, nine out of ten pieces of rough jade are not jade. Of the ten pieces that are jade, only a small portion can yield good jade, let alone top-quality jade.
Zhang Zhekai endured the pain in his eyes and examined the smaller pieces of raw jade first. The larger pieces were too deep; not only could he not see through them with X-ray vision, but his eyes also hurt terribly.
Zhang Zhe Kai grew increasingly alarmed as he examined the jade. He had been working with jade for some time and had a basic understanding of its quality.

From Zhang Zhe Kai's cursory glance at the rough stones, without touching or handling them, to his later incredulous and dejected expression, she knew that he was disappointed because he hadn't seen any jade.
Yunqi whispered in Xiao Mo's ear, "I saw that Zhang Zhekai's eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he was overusing his eyes. He kept rubbing them..."
"Hmm." Xiao Mo nodded in agreement, noticing Zhang Zhe Kai's obviously exhausted state. "He went to see an ophthalmologist a few days ago. It seems that the so-called X-ray vision isn't unlimited; there must be a price to pay..."
"Hmm? What's the price?"
