Inside the house, Xiang Nanzhi didn't go anywhere. She just stayed by that stone, polishing it more than enough to make a bracelet. She could even use the leftover stone for other things.
On the other side, in an underground casino within the antique market.
"Second Master, we've lost them."
“That man and woman were too cunning; they went straight to the police station, and we dared not go any further.”
Master Zhou sat on the sofa, a dzi bead around his neck and a string of bodhi seeds on his wrist. He twirled an iron walnut in his hand, lost in thought, as his subordinate lit one for him.
"The person who can take that stone away must be an expert; he can help us."
"Second Master, with so many people in the market, it will be easy for us to find someone to help us."
"Going to such lengths to ask for help is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"
Xiang Nanzhi joined a jewelry appraisal group where everyone was anonymous and they often discussed various issues. After polishing her first bead, out of curiosity, she wanted someone to help her determine how much the stone was worth.
She took a picture and asked in the group, and someone quickly replied, "This piece of jade will cost at least several million."
"Is it really that expensive? Are you sure?"
Where did you come from?
Xiang Nanzhi did not reply. The jade stone amazed her, but she never imagined that the stone would be so valuable.
She's a designer, and she understands very well that the price of jade is hard to estimate. Although she's confident, she's not yet capable of arbitrarily appraising the value of jade.
The people in the group were all veterans who knew much more than her; she was one of the younger, newbies.
She took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Shen Shixun: "Shen Shixun, I've thought of a great way to make money."
He's so good at spotting jade; wouldn't it be amazing if he made a fortune with so little money?
The man was supervising the construction. Zhang Yandong had entrusted him with such a large project; their friendship was one thing, but it was his duty to manage the entire project well.
Unlike before, you don't have to do hard labor, but you still have to keep an eye on things anytime, anywhere.
The business world is like a battlefield; no one can predict what problems might arise along the way.
After reviewing the project, Zhang Yandong chatted with him for a while, saying, "Sehun, you're doing quite well."
He chuckled. "It seems Miss Xiang likes you quite a bit."
"Brother Dong, don't joke around."
"You're already a child and you're still embarrassed? You can't be too thin-skinned. You have to be thick-skinned in front of women."
Just as Zhang Yandong finished speaking, the man's phone rang. It was a message from Xiang Nanzhi.
"Tsk tsk... Things are different now. You have a wife and kids. Now it's my turn to envy you."
After saying that, not wanting to disturb them, he left first. Shen Shixun opened the message box and said, "We're rich! We're rich!"
Xiang Nan knows he's not short of money, so why is he so greedy?
Shen Shixun made a call, and Xiang Nanzhi answered immediately. "Shen Shixun, I have good news for you. Do you know how much that stone is worth?"
"Hmm, several hundred thousand?"
"To guess on a larger scale?"
"Hundreds of millions?"
Xiang Nanzhi...
"Can you stop joking?"
"Tens of millions, or several million?"
"Yeah, I asked some people who know about this, and they said that stone is worth at least two million. It's full of emeralds and jade. Do you know what that means?"
Shen Shixun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who did you ask?"
"Friends, don't worry, they are all reliable people from all over the country. They don't know me."
When Xiang Nanzhi talked about his plan, he said, "From now on, we'll go to the market once a week, and we'll split the profits equally. If you're really capable, let me see what you're capable of."
"I'm not capable, I won't go."
Doing this kind of thing too often will easily get you beaten up by a group... He already has a wife and kids, why is he doing this?
"Wait..." Sensing that he was about to hang up, Xiang Nanzhi took out the card from her bag. "There are many things I don't know why I can't say to your face, so I can only talk to you on the phone."
"You mean what happened just now?"
"Of course not."
Xiang Nanzhi seemed to be deep in thought. "I've contacted Gila."
"Um."
"Shen Shixun, you don't need to work so hard for me and the child, and you don't need to secretly put your card in my bag."
Xiang Nanzhi initially thought it was her own card, but most of her cards were given to her by her father and brothers, and she had no recollection of having such an ordinary savings card.
"You bought me something, this is to return it to you."
“We’re husband and wife, isn’t it too much of a formality for you to give it back to me?”
"Xiang Nanzhi..."
The construction site was noisy. The man looked at the silent barrier outside, lit a cigarette, and said, "I've never given you anything."
"I just want you by my side, I don't need you to give me anything."
"You make me feel like a man."
He should act like a man, upright and honest, able to support her, him, and their children, without being criticized for marrying above his station.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Nanzhi looked at the emerald jade in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.
She was afraid that he was under too much pressure, which is why she came up with these crooked ideas. She thought that he was obsessed with money and would be willing to do anything if it was a quick way to make money.
But she almost forgot that Shen Shixun was a very aloof man.
She touched the hard and rough exterior of the stone, her fingertips brushing against the cold jade inside. Under the light, the jade emitted a beautiful, deep, and flowing luster, like a green river.
His life will change for her, but not completely. He won't become lazy because of her. He's always cold and can't say anything nice, but he always manages to warm her heart.
