After Jiang Zhi paid the bill, he turned around and saw a group of people surrounding him. Su Ran was also extremely helpless, but she understood.
Everyone has a natural curiosity; if it were her, she would also want to come and watch the show.
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, but thankfully he didn't attract the old man's attention.
But this was, after all, Mr. Wu Ye's territory. When he saw Mr. Wu arrive and the surrounding situation, Mr. Wu Ye was somewhat surprised, but he was, after all, a man who had seen the world.
"What? Someone wants to cut some good material?"
Generally speaking, when many people are confident that they have good material to share, they like others to watch. So Wu Ye would also think so when he saw this scene.
But Mr. Wu was wrong this time. The reason so many people came to watch was simply because a clueless young girl spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of what they considered to be waste materials.
So many people came purely to watch the show.
Upon hearing Wu Ye's voice, people around him spoke up.
“Mine Owner Wu, we have a big spender here today. Look at that huge basket of materials next to that young girl. She ordered it right away after just a few glances. That huge basket must be worth at least a hundred million.”
"Mine owner Wu, you have no idea, all these raw stones were paid for by that young man next to you. He probably acted out of a fit of rage for a woman."
Upon hearing this, Wu looked over there and met Su Ran's gaze. Then, looking at the large basket full of food, he was about to speak when he saw Jiang Zhi returning after paying. His words began to sound unbelievable.
"You're that foolish young man who acted rashly for the sake of a woman?"
Jiang Zhi felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Old Master Wu's voice.
The noise around them stopped, and everyone pricked up their ears to hear what had happened.
Do these two know each other?
How did the foolish young man who was so angry for the sake of a woman actually know the shrewd and wealthy mine owner Wu Ye?
People around him kept glancing at Jiang Zhi, and then at the furious Mine Owner Wu.
"Old Master Wu."
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Jiang Zhi stepped forward and greeted them in a very natural manner.
Wu, the mine owner, glared at him and whispered, "What's going on? You're really a fool with too much money, aren't you?"
Although Wu Ye, the mine owner, was somewhat curious about the girl, upon hearing this, he treated her as Jiang Zhi's girlfriend.
"You're spending so much money at this stage; you'll regret it later."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi realized that Old Master Wu had misunderstood something, and explained, "This is not my girlfriend."
Hearing this, Wu was even more bewildered, and looked at Jiang Zhi with pity and concern, "You're spending so much money even though you don't have a girlfriend? What, does your family own a mine?"
Wu was furious. After all, the mine belonged to him, and he had picked out some of the better quality stones first. Compared to the rough stones here that had already been treated as waste, he might as well go and buy the rough stones across the street that had already been cut in half.
But Wu, who had been angry for a while, was powerless to do anything about it, so he called Su Ran over.
Su Ran, having observed the commotion, roughly understood what was happening and stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Wu."
Wu nodded, somewhat annoyed, and pointed to the raw stones inside the frame.
"How did you choose?"
Su Ran held up the flashlight in her hand. "Use this."
Wu was somewhat surprised to see this, "You can understand it?"
Su Ran continued to shake her head, saying she could only say half and half.
"If you don't understand them, why buy them? Do you think there's something special about these rough stones?" He was very curious and wanted to see how this young woman selected those dozen or so stones from thousands of others. He wanted to see what was so special about them.
Wu Ye was trying his best to make amends for Su Ran, at least giving him a reason to buy these things.
He would accept it if she thought these rough stones were special.
Su Ran looked at Wu Ye, wondering if what she was about to say would infuriate him, "I just felt... they looked good, so I bought them."
Wu also heard the answer he found most unacceptable, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"..."
Okay, he's overthinking it.
"Should we cut it?"
Su Ran nodded, pointing to the large rock covered in black spots and a few pieces of scrap: "Cut these pieces for me. I'll take the rest back to the hotel; I want to study them myself."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wansheng had his bodyguards come up and take the stone that Su Ran wanted to take back to where he kept the stones. There were people watching over it, so it was very safe.
Then he took Su Ran to the cutting area.
There aren't many people in the cutting area yet; it's only the first day, and many people are still looking at the stones.
If we're talking about the real excitement, we'll have to wait until tomorrow or the day after, since that's when the main stage of cutting the stones will take place.
Looking at the basket full of raw stones, Wu Ye's master craftsman sighed and said with some regret, "If this stone hadn't been eroded by these black spots, it would have been a top-quality piece of material."
It's just a pity...
The experienced craftsman looked at the rough stone in front of him and said, "But we can't say that the whole piece is ruined. After all, it's such a big piece of rough stone, there might be some good stuff inside."
"If the green material can be used to make a bracelet, then you've made a profit! If it also has black spots, then it can only be used to make a large ornament, worth only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan."
Jiang Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he was happy to spend the money.
After all, Su Ran wouldn't accept money when he wanted to spend it on her before. Now that she finally has a hobby, how could he, as her older brother, refuse?
Wu listened from the side, and rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhi's expression.
Obsessed with love.
Su Ran saw that it was the cutting master who put the stone on the machine, and she was curious about how the material was cut, so she went over to take a closer look.
Seeing that she was pretty and well-behaved, the cutting master smiled and asked, "What are your thoughts, young lady? Or would you like me to decide?"
Su Ran did not refuse, after all, she was afraid that the master would cut the good material in two with one cut. After thinking for a while, she gestured on the raw stone and said, "Cut it to this thickness first."
Those around her had been watching the cutting machine closely. When they saw the girl raise half a finger, they all smiled kindly. It seemed the little girl wouldn't give up until she was completely convinced.
The cutter nodded and, following Su Ran's suggestion, cut off the skin behind half of her finger with a single stroke.
Although everyone thought it was useless, they couldn't resist their curiosity and peeked out.
Just as they expected, there were still countless black dots!
"I knew it! This is just a piece of junk!"
"This piece of material is so badly corroded, there's definitely nothing good inside."
"It's not finished cutting yet, let's take another look. Anyway, we haven't paid for it, maybe it will turn green later."
"Look at the back! Look at that cut surface, the black spots are even more concentrated than on the surface! The further in you go, the more black spots there are."
"Little girl, don't cry. Consider it a lesson learned!"
