"Old lady, aren't you being too direct? I may be a man, but I'm still a junior. As a senior in the gambling stone industry, shouldn't you be more protective of the younger generation? This is so heartbreaking!"
Yang Chongming was so criticized that he began to question his life.
It's so embarrassing. Talking like this about him in front of his junior brothers and sisters, doesn't he have any dignity?
"You talk too much," the old lady said. "Gambling on stones requires observation. A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Countless pitfalls await you. If you can't calm down and observe carefully, you're doomed to failure. Look at those two little kids, their eyes are bright, especially when they look at stones. They sparkle, but when you look at stones, you have a pair of dead eyes. You don't pay attention, so who can help you?"
Too cruel! My heart hurts!
Yang Chongming rubbed his swollen and aching heart and asked, "Auntie, have I ever offended you?"
"I haven't seen you before." The old lady said frankly.
"We have no hatred in the past or grudges in the present. I feel that you have too much prejudice against me. Isn't it said that the elderly are kind? Please show your kindest side to me." Yang Chongming said.
The old lady rolled her eyes at him.
Look at Tian Chengcheng and Fu Xinhan again, their expressions changed in a second.
"Fubao, can you sell me this imperial green?" The old lady pulled out a flashlight from somewhere and shone it on the jade, very satisfied. "This color is so beautiful, I can make some egg-shaped diamonds out of it."
"Can you afford it? You're trying to cheat the kids again." Yang Chongming immediately quit. "We can sell this thing, and we can get a high price."
Although his selection of stones was average, he had a clear understanding of the channels for buying and selling good stones.
"Can you sell it for a high price? How high? Who here can swallow this thing?" the old lady asked him, with obvious disdain in her tone.
"Hey, old lady, why do you look down on people like this? Let me tell you, I know people from the Mu family. The Mu family will naturally accept good things." Yang Chongming said.
However, even though he mentioned the Mu family, the old lady ignored him. After looking around with a flashlight, she held up five fingers and said, "Fubao, I won't cheat you. This imperial green stone is priced at fifty yuan. Just consider it fate."
Tian Chengcheng looked at the old lady's smile.
She directly said fifty, but there was no unit of count after it.
However, Yang Chongming was not happy when he heard this. "Fifty, why don't you just rob it? This quality jadeite can easily sell for two or three hundred thousand. If you give me fifty yuan, I'm not going to rip you off. How can I not rip you off? I'll just give it to you."
The old lady glared at him and said, "Ten thousand."
"What?" Yang Chongming didn't react for a moment.
The old lady looked at him with a look of disappointment. If he wasn't short, a slap on the back of the head would have been inevitable.
"Five hundred thousand!" Tian Chengcheng couldn't bear it any longer and kindly reminded, "Grandma, I don't know much about jade, but I won't make a big profit either. Why don't we find a third party to appraise it and give us a price that both parties are satisfied with?"
After listening to Tian Chengcheng's words, the old lady felt refreshed.
"Look, this is the bearing that a person who does great things should have. You have grown up to be so big in vain, you are useless." While praising Tian Chengcheng, the old lady did not forget to scold Yang Chongming.
Yang Chongming could not refute.
However, Tian Chengcheng had the illusion that he was being implied by the sentence "It's a waste of such a big thing".
well!
It doesn't matter if you are tall or short, you have to grow in the right way.
It’s so hard to be a human being!
"Fubao, actually, there's no need for that. The price I offer is the same as the price offered by the Mu family." The old lady said with a smile.
Tian Chengcheng: “…”
Sure enough, it was just as she thought.
When she saw the old lady last night, she felt that she had an extraordinary demeanor.
Yang Chongming was stunned. He originally wanted to refute, but when he saw that the old lady didn't even care about the Mu family, his mind started to work rapidly.
This old lady has such a loud voice and such a weird temper!
Could it be the Mu family?
He looked at the old lady, and to be honest, apart from her bad temper and loud voice, he couldn't tell anything about her from her clothes.
But he was smart and didn't speak immediately, but decided to observe first.
"Grandma, I'll give you the price you mentioned. These two pieces are my gifts." Tian Chengcheng picked up two other jadeite pieces with good water content. "Good things come in pairs. Grandma, you already said that if we are to be friends, we should at least show some sincerity."
Tian Chengcheng said with a smile.
The old lady was even more satisfied.
This little girl not only has good vision but also speaks well. She is a very insightful person. If she is trained, she will definitely achieve great things in the future.
"Little girl, do you want to be my disciple?" said the old lady.
Yang Chongming: "...She is my junior sister, from the same school as me. You just rejected me, so you must treat her equally."
"Little girl, being able to have me as your master will be a great benefit to you. I can teach you professional knowledge about gambling on stones. People live their whole lives and eventually have to choose an industry. Although I may not have other special abilities, I have a good eye for people. If you are determined to work in this industry, your future will be limitless."
"No, these are my junior sisters, and they just came with us to play. They will return to where they live soon." Yang Chongming still refused.
He was the one who brought the person up, but in the blink of an eye, he was abducted and became someone else's apprentice.
How is he going to explain this to his master when he goes back?
The old lady frowned, clearly displeased with Yang Chongming's obstruction. "Go aside! I'm not asking you. I'm only asking Fubao and Hanhan if they're willing to follow me."
Yang Chongming was hit hard again.
It seems that the old lady not only likes Fubao, but also Hanhan, but not him.
"I need to think about it." Tian Chengcheng said.
This is an important career plan in life and she must consider it carefully.
But it is never a bad thing to have a great master.
More friends mean more paths.
So she didn't refuse in a hurry.
"As long as you two are willing to take me as your master, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life, and I will provide you with a place to live, food, clothing and other daily necessities. I will pay for the jade materials, and if the price goes up, I will deduct the principal and make a 50-50 profit." said the old lady.
When Tian Chengcheng heard her words, she felt like a piece of cake had fallen from the sky.
But on the other hand, if the old lady is really the one in charge of the Mu family, it shows how eager she is to find a talent who can support the future of the Mu family.
Tian Chengcheng said nothing.
Fu Xinhan was somewhat moved.
He also realized that the old lady was not an ordinary person and that she could offer such generous conditions, which was enough for him to completely turn his life around.
Moreover, this place is far away from Wangshan Village, so they can get rid of those annoying people and depend on each other here.
After much consideration, Fu Xinhan felt that staying was a good choice.
"Fubao, why don't you consider it and we stay here." Fu Xinhan said, looking at the old lady, "You can learn a craft, but we both have to go to school. Do you agree?"
