Chapter 646 Qin Yiyi's Greeting Gift
Wen Luoyun followed Tang Zhi into the main hall, where Qin Yiyi was already seated.
She was different from the person Wen Luoyun remembered. The person in front of her was dressed in black, wearing a black cloche hat with black lace hanging down, partially obscuring her face and making it impossible to see her expression.
Her makeup was even more intriguing, with deep eyeliner and dark red lips, giving her a rather aloof and aggressive look.
Is this... the Qin Yiyi she knows?
As she sized up the other person, Qin Yiyi noticed the gaze and looked at her as well, a hint of doubt flashing between her brows.
"Master Tang," she stood up and nodded slightly to Tang Zhi, then looked at Wen Luoyun: "And this gentleman is?"
Tang Zhi said calmly, "My family doctor."
With just one sentence, without any further explanation, Qin Yiyi understood.
Outsiders might not know about Tang Zhi's family doctor, but she did. On the surface, he was her family doctor, but in reality, he was her lover.
She's just a vixen who relies on her looks and figure to serve others, yet Tang Zhi dotes on her so much, even bringing her along when discussing business.
Wen Luoyun smiled slightly and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Miss Qin. You can just call me Ruoyun."
"Hello." Qin Yiyi gave the other person a disdainful look, reached out and touched him lightly with her fingertips before leaving.
Wen Luoyun narrowed her eyes.
A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; now it's Qin Yiyi's turn to look down on him.
She sneered inwardly, composed herself, walked to Tang Zhi's side, and whispered, "Mr. Tang, let me make you some tea."
Tang Zhi nodded slightly and looked at Qin Yiyi: "Miss Qin, if you have something to say today, please speak freely."
Qin Yiyi looked at Tang Zhi and smiled, saying, "Mr. Tang, I'm here today to discuss a business deal with you."
Tang Zhi sat down, picked up the teacup Wen Luoyun had brewed for him, took a sip, and said, "Oh?" He continued, "I've talked business with your father and your brother, but this is the first time I've heard that Miss Qin can also come out to talk business."
Qin Yiyi's smile remained unchanged: "What kind of society is this? Does Master Tang still look down on women? This time, I'm discussing a big deal with Master Tang. I'm sure he'll be interested. If this deal goes through, I'll have many more deals to discuss with Master Tang in the future."
Hearing this, Tang Zhi actually became quite interested.
He put his teacup on the table and looked at her: "Oh, then please tell me, Miss Qin, just how big is the deal you want to discuss?"
Qin Yiyi clapped her hands twice, and the person accompanying her placed a beautifully packaged box on the table next to her.
"Let's not rush into the deal. This is a gift I brought for you, Mr. Tang. Please open it and take a look first."
Thinking of what the butler had just said, Tang Zhi and Wen Luoyun exchanged a glance.
"Since it's Miss Qin's idea, then I won't stand on ceremony." Tang Zhi gave Wen Luoyun a look.
The latter understood and stepped forward to open the box.
Inside the box was another box, a high-quality jade box.
Seeing this, Tang Zhi looked at Qin Yiyi and asked, "Miss Qin, why did you give me this jade box...?"
“This box is carved from the finest old mine jadeite. You can’t find more than five pieces of this quality and such exquisite carving anywhere else in the country,” Qin Yiyi said slowly.
Tang Zhi, however, showed little interest.
Wen Luoyun, standing beside her, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Qin is absolutely right. It's a pity that two of these items are kept in the Tang family's collection."
The implication is that your thing is really nothing special.
Qin Yiyi was not angry. Instead, as if she knew the other party would say this, she smiled calmly and said, "I know that Mr. Tang has a hobby of collecting antiques, and I would not dare to show off my skills in front of an expert. However, the jade I gave as a gift is not the same as that jade."
Tang Zhi paused slightly.
Seeing this, Wen Luoyun frowned and said, "Miss Qin, just say what this gift is. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Qin Yiyi scoffed lightly, seemingly uninterested in arguing with her, and instead stepped forward.
She walked to the jade box, and with a gentle touch at the bottom, a hidden door on the top of the box popped open.
Then, the base of the box slowly rose, revealing a jade pendant with more exquisite carving and finer, more lustrous quality.
When the jade pendant was clearly revealed to everyone, Qin Yiyi could clearly hear Tang Zhi's breathing become heavier.
She smiled confidently and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Tang is satisfied with this gift?"
Tang Zhi suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to the box, grabbed the jade pendant, and examined it closely.
The jade pendant has delicate patterns and a lustrous sheen. The carving on it is a roaring white tiger poised to take flight!
Tang Zhi stroked it repeatedly, then suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Yiyi.
Despite his attempts to restrain himself, his tone still carried an uncontrollable urgency: "This is the Su family's jade pendant. Where did you get it?"
The five jade pendants belong to the four major families and the Wen family respectively. The An family's pendant is the Azure Dragon Pendant, the Su family's is the White Tiger Pendant, the Tang family's is the Vermilion Bird Pendant, the Qin family's is the Black Tortoise Pendant, and the Wen family's is the Jade Eye, which is the Fire Phoenix Pendant.
Currently, the jade pendants of the An family, Tang family, and Wen family are all in Tang Zhi's hands, only the Black Tortoise pendant of the Qin family and the White Tiger pendant of the Su family are missing.
Deep down, he knew that the jade pendant in front of him was the Su family's White Tiger Jade Pendant.
But the Su family's jade pendant is no less difficult to find than the Qin family's. Even he hasn't been able to get it after so long, so how did Qin Yiyi, a little girl, manage to get it?
Qin Yiyi could tell from Tang Zhi's expression that this move had hit him right where it hurts.
She chuckled lightly, her eyes innocent: "Is this jade pendant from the Su family? I didn't even know. I just found it by chance and thought that Master Tang likes to collect antiques, so I took the liberty of sending it over. Doesn't Master Qin like it?"
Tang Zhi's gaze held a hint of malice, naturally disbelieving that she had obtained the jade pendant so easily: "Miss Qin is indeed quite capable. It seems you knew I was collecting the Five Jades?"
Qin Yiyi paused slightly, her expression haughty: "What are you saying, Mr. Tang? I really don't understand a single word. Can we talk about business now?"
Tang Zhi's gaze swept over her without any restraint.
Only after making Qin Yiyi feel uneasy did he slowly open his mouth and say with a smile, "Of course, Miss Qin, I am indeed quite interested in this gift."
He put down the jade pendant, turned around and sat back down: "So, what kind of business is Miss Qin talking about?"
Qin Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally brought up the matter.
She knew Tang Zhi was difficult to deal with, and she had rehearsed these lines in her mind seventy or eighty times before coming. Fortunately, she managed to hold on until now without messing up.
Qin Yiyi smiled slightly, turned around and sat back down in her seat: "Master Tang has connections everywhere, he should know about the current situation of our Qin family."
