Fu Yanci built a signal tower for the village as quickly as possible.
Qiao Li had been bedridden for four or five days with a cold. When he went out again, he found that he could actually receive video calls on WeChat.
Although they were all calls from those same group of cronies.
But it was quite surprising.
That's when I found out about the signal tower.
"Jiang Zao, are you and your husband making fun of me?" Qiao Li couldn't help but speculate. "He bought three jade mines, even the first-color imperial green jadeite, and built a signal tower for the village. Even the village chief speaks up for him. And you're pretending to be an undercover agent here with me?"
No wonder Qiao Li was angry; anyone would have thought about this a lot.
After all, the relationship between Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci is what it is.
He was so angry he wanted to curse.
Grass!
Jiang Zao sat calmly and drank her tea.
The temperature here is really not warm, and she has been keeping her thermos cup with her almost every day for the past few days.
“I genuinely invested 5 billion in you, and the money is already in your hands. Do you think any swindler would invest such a huge sum?” Jiang Zao continued drinking his tea.
Fu Yanci brought her this tea a couple of days ago, and it tastes pretty good.
Qiao Li was suddenly speechless.
Jiang Zao continued, "I only found out he was here after I got here. Let me reiterate, I am cooperating with you in my personal capacity, and it has nothing to do with the Fu family. Privately, he and I are husband and wife, but business is business and private is private. Every penny I earn from cooperating with you is my own and has nothing to do with him."
This was the first time Qiao Li had ever met a woman like this.
Instead of being the proper third wife of the Fu family, she went out to suffer.
“What if we encounter the same group of customers as them?” Qiao Li asked.
Jiang Zao said firmly, "It all depends on your abilities."
Qiao Li was still a little unsure. He pulled out a chair and sat down, staring intently at Jiang Zao's face, not missing a single change in her expression.
"If I were to deal with Master Fu's three jade mines, would you really not interfere and work with him from the inside to kill me?"
Jiang Zao glanced at him. "You should think about whether you can handle him first. Peace brings wealth, and having more enemies means fewer options. Of course, if it really comes down to making a choice, I have no reason to let my 5 billion lose money, right?"
Qiao Li was thus persuaded.
After all, Jiang Zao's 5 billion was indeed in his account.
No, I need to check it.
Qiao Li took out his phone to check his account balance, and seeing the rows of zeros, he finally felt relieved.
News of Fu Yanci's jade mine's initial success spread quickly, attracting more and more customers. Qiao Li, seeing this, was drooling with envy and kept talking about it all day long.
"open!"
"Green!"
"Imperial Green!"
Jiang Zao felt that her ears would eventually grow calluses.
She pulled Qiao Li aside to sit down. "Relax. Doing business isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. We need to plan for the long term and not put too much pressure on ourselves."
How could Qiao Li possibly relax?
He's invested his entire fortune here.
Seeing that he still looked tense, Jiang Zao glanced back and casually pointed to a huge raw stone.
They dug that out yesterday. Because it was too big, too ugly, and full of pits, they figured it wouldn't be found, so they just left it there. It hasn't been cut or polished yet.
"Okay, let's drive that one today."
Qiao Li glanced at it, even more uncertain, "You think this joke is funny?"
Jiang Zao: "Who's joking with you? How about we make a bet? If it turns green, everything in here is mine. If it doesn't, I'll give you another billion."
Qiao Li suddenly stood up.
This is a billion, not ten dollars.
How much dowry did the Fu family give this woman to allow her to squander it so extravagantly?
Or is there someone else behind her?
Jiang Zao asked with a smile, "Want to bet?"
"bet!"
Qiao Li nodded.
He certainly wouldn't refuse such a sure-win situation.
The polisher and cutter were called over, but none of them had much confidence in this rough stone that was taller than a person.
"Mr. Jiang, how should we cut it?" the cutter asked.
Jiang Zao circled the rough stone twice.
Actually, she doesn't understand this at all. At most, she has looked up some information online in the past few days and can barely understand the basics. But if she wants to go any deeper, she is a complete novice.
But she just likes this part.
"Don't cut it, grind it. Find more people, more people means more work." Jiang Zao picked up her thermos again, opened the lid, and the aroma of tea filled the air, making her think of that strategist.
If it were Fu Yanci, he would probably choose to cut, right?
What is this man's brain made of? How does he know everything?
The rough stone was polished until dark, shrinking several sizes, but there was still no result.
Jiang Zao wasn't discouraged. "Alright, it's too late today, everyone go back and rest. We'll continue tomorrow morning, just keep grinding at this rate, and the pay will be tripled."
That last sentence became the motivation for several polishers.
They charge by the hour.
If you take your time and work meticulously, you'll earn enough for a house in just a few days.
The rich people from big cities are really extravagant; they can throw money around without a second thought.
Qiao Li was speechless: "Are you going to continue?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang Zao wrapped her trench coat tighter. "Of course, we placed a bet, and the result isn't out yet, so of course we have to continue."
Three days passed like this.
It's unclear who spread the news, but it attracted quite a few onlookers.
Some mocked, some ridiculed, and some casually bought a few rough stones to play with.
Anyway, the one thing people who come to this place have no shortage of is money.
"It's turned green!"
One of the customers' rough stones turned out to be pink jadeite, which was a stroke of good luck. Qiao Li was relieved and excitedly gave the customer a big hug.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zao's side is still grinding away.
The original stone, which was more than a person tall, is now only half a person tall.
Some of the polishers still had a conscience; they felt uneasy about earning this money and couldn't help but offer some advice.
"President Jiang, let's forget about it, this really can't be done." Several people said the same thing.
They've been getting triple pay these days, which is more than enough. They feel guilty if they keep going like this.
Jiang Zao sat on a folding rattan chair with her legs crossed, holding a thermos in her hands, and smiled gently: "It's okay, you guys continue. Don't worry about me spending money. Everyone came here to make money. Don't worry, even if you end up with nothing, I won't blame you. It's just a gamble."
I've tried to persuade them, but they won't listen. What can I do?
The polishing masters had no choice but to continue.
Fu Yanci appeared beside Jiang Zao at some point. "How does the tea taste?"
Jiang Zao glanced at him sideways. "I'm doing well. I can't sleep without having a few drinks every day. What brings you here? Qiao Li sees you as a thorn in his side. He probably thinks you're here to gather information."
Fu Yanci didn't care; his lowered gaze remained fixed on Jiang Zao.
"You want to invest more in Qiao Li?" The news of the billion-dollar bet had spread, so he naturally knew about it.
