Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Zhang Yang smiled and didn't say anything. He also wanted to see what choice this old man, who was highly respected in Wang Li's eyes, would make.

  After getting off the car, Li Qianhui walked over directly. All the way, she was thinking about the cause and effect of the whole thing. Comparing it with the video and the conversations with Bai Landa and Zhang Yang, she found a very interesting detail, that is, from start to finish, Bai Landa was always led by the nose by Zhang Yang. In other words, this thing was likely designed by Zhang Yang from the beginning. The only thing that made her wonder was where Zhang Yang got such great confidence, this piece of wool would definitely produce high-quality jade. Unless Zhang Yang is a hidden master, just like the Jade King.

  To know the world-renowned Jade King, it's about finding possibilities in impossibilities and achieving great fame. Thinking of this, Li Qianhui couldn't control her excitement, if that's true, then Zhang Yang would be a treasure, a national treasure-level figure. Jinyu Ge is in the jade business, and how many stone gamblers they have, every year the salary and commission spent are counted in hundreds of millions, but it's not possible to hire someone of Jade King level with just money. If Zhang Yang is really a Jade King-like figure, and he joins their company, then Jinyu Ge's business will take a step up, go global, enter Southeast Asia, and compete with those traditional jade merchants.

  After considering so much, Li Qianhui decided that no matter what, she would stand on Zhang Yang's side. This might be an adventure, but one was a has-been old man living off his reputation in the Jianghu, and the other had the potential to become the future Jade King - it was clear who was more important.

  At this point, Zhang Yang ignored the impact that his own abilities had brought to him. Perhaps it was because he was originally an ordinary person and always had a sense of inferiority. Even if he appeared confident, he couldn't truly see his own value, only those who observed from the side could see it.

  And today's first visible one is Li Qianhui, this elegant beauty.

  "Qianhui, you can't let Zhang Yang suffer a loss, otherwise I'll go to grandma's place and tell on you!" Hong Yaqin said, grabbing Qianhui's hand.

  Li Qianhui looked at Zhang Yang deeply, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what to do! Mr. Zhang, if you have any requirements, please speak up boldly. By the way, Bai Lander set me back yesterday, so I'll take this opportunity to get even."

  Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Miss Li."

  "Don't be so distant, you call her Yaqin in one breath and Wang Ge in the next, but when it comes to me, I'm just Miss Li. I know I'm not as pretty as Yaqin, but you can't be so biased! ”Li Qianhui said, casually flicking a strand of hair, revealing a unique charm.

  Zhang Yang was stunned by Li Qianhui's demeanor and after coming to his senses, said: "Then I'll call you Miss Qianhui!"

  Li Qianhui knew she couldn't rush things, so she smiled and said: "Alright, I'll just call you Zhang Yang then. Zhang Yang, I have something to ask you about the piece of fabric in your hand. I saw it yesterday too, but I don't know why you liked it so much that you were willing to pay such a high price for it."

  Unconsciously, Li Qianhui took the position that originally belonged to Hong Yaqin and walked towards the villa with Zhang Yang while chatting.

  Hong Yaqin's face didn't look too good, this was the first time she saw Li Qianhui taking the initiative to talk to a boy. It's worth noting that Li Qianhui is notoriously arrogant and not as easy-going as Hong Yaqin or Ji Yutong, making it unlikely for ordinary people to get to know her.

  "Qian Hui, you look different today?" Hong Yaqin said in a low voice.

  He Linlin snorted disdainfully: "What else can be done? It's reached a critical juncture, and like a cat in spring, it's hungry and will eat anything."

  "Lingling, don't talk nonsense!" Hong Yaqin said displeasedly.

  "Hong Jie, I'm not mistaken, she just walked over with eyes like a cat seeing fish, you'd better be careful. Sisters for many years, become enemies because of fighting for the same man. The old bridge is broken." He Linlin said with sparkling eyes.

  Ji Yu Tong smiled, not wanting to get involved in the matter, she chose to remain neutral. However, she also noticed that Li Qian Hui's behavior today was somewhat abnormal. Was it really possible for love at first sight? It seemed too fake!

  Hong Yaqin felt a bad taste in her heart, watching the two people chatting in front of her, her small fists clenched involuntarily.

  At the gate of the villa, Hai Shu, who had been standing beside Bai Landa all along, waited there and saw that everyone had arrived. He pushed open the door and said: "The master is waiting for you inside!"

  Wang Li looked back at Zhang Yang and others, nodded, and walked in first. Zhang Yang and others followed suit. As Zhang Yang passed by, Hai Shu suddenly gave him a fierce look, as if he had a deep hatred for him.

  Zhang Yang took note of Hai Shu's behavior in his heart, this Hai Shu seemed a bit abnormal, he seemed to care about Bai Landa more than necessary. Is there really a loyal and devoted servant in this world? Or is there an unknown secret inside.

  After entering, Zhang Yang saw an old man sitting on the sofa, with white hair and beard, wearing a white Kung Fu suit, holding a cane in his hand, with a sad face and a serious expression. Just this appearance is impressive, giving people the first impression of being a dignified and respected elder.

  "I'm sorry, everyone. The old man is really too heartbroken and needs to calm down for a bit. Please take a seat! Xiao Hai, go brew some tea!" Old Master Bai instructed.

  "Wang Li hastily said: 'No need to trouble you. Old master, I really didn't mean to disturb you, it's all a young person's matter, and I've startled you.'"

  "Ah, I've got a disobedient grandson. Wang Li, introduce me to this young fellow. Nowadays, young people are getting ahead too quickly, and an old man like me can't even recognize them."

  Zhang Yang's heart sank, and he found that this old man was not as described by Wang Li and others. His words were laced with hidden meanings and veiled threats. However, considering that it was his own fault that the old man's grandson had lost face, Zhang Yang could understand. Nevertheless, Zhang Yang had already become vigilant, realizing that this was a cunning old fox who required careful handling.

  Wang Li introduced everyone to Old Man Bai, and when he learned that Li Qianhui was the manager of the Golden Jade Pavilion's main store, Old Man Bai's eyebrows moved slightly before calming down. However, when introducing Hong Yaqin as the daughter of Old Man Hong and the inheritor of the Hong family's culinary skills, Old Man Bai's cane inadvertently changed position.

  Finally, it was Zhang Yang's turn. In fact, Old Man Bai had already known who Zhang Yang was, and he had watched the video, so he naturally knew who had made Sunzi lose face and himself come out to see everyone with a thick skin. However, he hadn't looked at Zhang Yang until Wang Li finished introducing him, then he turned his gaze towards Zhang Yang.

  The old man's eyes seemed to be cutting over, Zhang Yang looked at the old man fearlessly without any retreat. Now that he had taken the initiative, there was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, he had already decided to step on Bai Landa and take his place. At this point, it wasn't about being humble or apologetic, since he had already done it, he would see it through to the end and see what the old man had to say.

  Zhang Yang and Hong Yaqin said it very low-key, but when they really faced Old Man Bai, he still showed his own demeanor. I don't care who you are, what kind of reputation you have, once a conflict has occurred, there's no need to regret anything. Just like Zhang Yang thought at the time, in the capital city, even a street sweeper may have a relative who is a mayor, if one wants to stand out, they can't always be soft and afraid of being hard, at critical moments, they must become tough, today is the day for oneself to be tough, if one still feels timid and dares not face it despite having all the advantages, then leave the capital city.

  A silent confrontation lasted for dozens of seconds, and the old man smiled first: "Good, good young man, no wonder you can solve the glass kind of emperor green jade, Xiao Sun's eyesight is not as good as yours, don't blame him."

  With just one sentence, the old man turned Zhang Yang and Bai Landa's past grievances into a trivial matter of two young men competing with each other in a non-stop argument over a bet. This old fellow is indeed not simple.

  Except for the arrogant He Linlin and the straightforward Ji Yutong, everyone else was a connoisseur and naturally understood the meaning of Old Man Bai's words. One by one, they furrowed their brows, if it were to be defined this way, things would become complicated. They looked at Zhang Yang, unsure how he would respond to this.

  "Yaqin, bring out the jadeite and let Old Master Bai take a look! It's fortunate that there are many friends who witnessed the birth of this piece of jadeite today. Without video recordings, rumors would spread like wildfire! This society is like that - sometimes a small chicken egg-sized jadeite can be exaggerated to be as big as a goose egg, and tomorrow it might become one billion, and the day after tomorrow maybe ten billion. That's not what I want to see. Please, Old Master Bai, take a look and bear witness!" Zhang Yang said.

  The old man's eyes flashed with anger, he understood Zhang Yang's meaning. You said we are competing in terms of vision, but today there are too many people who have witnessed this moment. I still have the video as evidence, and once these things are released, no matter what you say, it can't stop the rumors from spreading. Today, you may be able to settle this matter by losing a hundred million, but tomorrow it could be a ten billion dollar affair.

  "Alright, indeed it's a good jade! Xiao Sun lost face in front of everyone and was scolded by me. He's been kneeling in the study room as punishment. It's my fault for not educating him well, causing him to lose face. I'll apologize on his behalf." Old Master Bai said, trembling as he tried to stand up with the help of his cane.

  Wang Li and Li Qianhui's expressions changed, don't look at Old Man Bai who has been in seclusion for many years, if he really apologizes to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang will have suffered a loss of face, if this gets out, Zhang Yang won't be able to mix in the Beijing jewelry circle anymore, this is completely slapping the old generation's face! Moreover, this move is too vicious, Zhang Yang has been given an apology, he doesn't need to think about compensation anymore. No one can reject Old Man Bai's gift, if the grandson did something wrong and the grandfather apologizes with a gift, that's enough, you can't kill someone just for pointing at their head, if you insist on compensation, that's going too far.

  No wonder they say ginger is old and spicy. Afterwards, no one would think that Old White did anything wrong. This highly respected elderly man took all the blame upon himself, what more can you ask for? The old man didn't shirk responsibility, didn't deny the gambling den! Who wouldn't say, Old White has a sense of responsibility.

  However, this would also make Zhang Yang, who originally had the upper hand, completely lose his support. In other people's mouths, he would probably become a despicable person who comes to demand debt repayment. He would not only lose face but also lose benefits!

  However, the old man deliberately acted so slowly, possibly also waiting for others to come and persuade him. After all, doing so would make Old White uncomfortable, not everyone can apologize like a younger generation. This was just his tactic, to take control of the negotiation in his own hands.

  Zhang Yang's expression changed greatly as he stood up and said, "Old Man Bai, you're killing me! This is just a small matter between juniors, how dare I accept your gift. Rest assured that this matter will be settled here, I'll smash this jade now and pretend there was no jade inside. The check for 5 million yuan, I'll write it out right now. Today, Zhang Yang has lost!"

  The old man was so angry that he almost spat blood. If this gets out, wouldn't it be said that I'm bullying people with my power? If it weren't for Wang Li, Li Qianhui, and Hong Yaqin, Zhang Yang would have been delighted to do such a thing, but now he doesn't dare.

  Saw Zhang Yang raise both hands with the jadeite and hastily said: "Don't!"
