Chapter 134: The Eccentric Sea Uncle

  "What's wrong with you not agreeing? No problem, I can leave now. As for what will happen in the future, I believe it doesn't need me to remind you. Old Master Bai is a man of high moral character and definitely won't have any problems. As for Bai Landa, he can just switch to another industry later on. I'm sure no one would dare collaborate with someone who distorts facts and breaks promises. By the way, tell Bai Landa that it's not that I don't want to let him off easy, but rather he's not even as important as a piece of cloth." Zhang Yang said coldly.

  He stood up and walked out of the door after finishing speaking.

  "Wait, I'll answer you." Bai Fengxian shouted to stop Zhang Yang.

  He was indeed reluctant to part with it, but Zhang Yang's last words reminded him that the wool was important, but not as important as his own grandson's future. If he had to take out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, he would definitely be unwilling, but a piece of wool was still within his acceptable range.

  Zhang Yang's mouth corners revealed a hint of a triumphant smile, it was really too perfect.

  Since he had made up his mind, Bai Fengxian didn't hesitate any longer. He opened the door to the study and shouted: "Little Wang, come in and help me with something!"

  Wang Lichong nodded at Hong Yaqin who was somewhat worried and walked over.

  "Qin Qin, don't worry. Since Old Master Bai has called Wang Li in, it means they've already discussed and agreed on the terms. This matter is settled." said Li Qianhui.

  Hong Yaqin said calmly: "It's obvious that Zhang Yang is in the right, what's there to discuss? Just compensate him and it's fine."

  Li Qianhui shook her head and said, "If it were someone else doing this, there wouldn't be a problem. But since Old Man Bai has extensive connections, if things don't go smoothly, it might not be beneficial for Zhang Yang's future development. Don't worry, I've reminded him, he won't suffer any losses."

  Hong Yaqin's face changed color, reminding Zhang Yang, when did I know? She thought of somewhere else again.

  In the study, Wang Li looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. He guessed that the two were discussing terms, and in his opinion, Zhang Yang would get a few million yuan in compensation and the matter would be over. After all, Old Man Bai's reputation was at stake. Unexpectedly, the result of the negotiation turned out to be this: the storefront located in Panjiayuan, which had been a thriving business for decades, was actually taken away by Zhang Yang.

  "Xiao Wang, I'll leave the rest to you!" said Old Man Bai.

  Wang Li nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, Old Master Bai."

  Bai Fengxian smiled wryly and said: "And then there's my grandson, who hasn't mastered his skills yet, so he won't go to your company to lose face, I'll teach him a lesson!"

  Wang Li knew this was an inevitable thing, even if Old Man Bai let him stay, he couldn't stay himself. With the kind of character and quality White Lander showed today, he really didn't dare to use him.

  Zhang Yang coughed slightly.

  Bai Feng glared at Zhang Yang and shook his head, shouting: "Xiao Hai, you're going to the basement with Zhang Yang to pick out a piece of fabric, it's my gift to him!"

  Wang Li was really surprised this time, the fur that Old Man Bai had, who knows how many people have taken notice of it. Even he himself has mentioned it several times, wanting to buy a few pieces back to decorate his home, but Old Man Bai always disagreed, never expecting that for the sake of Bai Lanyong's matter, Zhang Yang would actually ask to take one piece away.

  Hai Shu nodded in agreement and then made a welcoming gesture: "Mr. Zhang, this way, please."

  Zhang Yang smiled and followed Hai Shu to the basement, walking past the corner. As soon as they walked a few steps towards the basement, Hai Shu suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Yang's neck. He overestimated his own reach and underestimated Zhang Yang's vigilance. From the beginning, Zhang Yang had noticed that Hai Shu's eyes were not quite right. Instead, it was Hai Shu who was pinned against the wall of the corridor by Zhang Yang, with his arm twisted behind him.

  "How dare you want to capture me? Even White Grandfather and White Lantian don't have the ability, what can a mere servant like you do?" Zhang Yang said.

  "Let me go! Let me go!" Hai Shu said angrily.

  "I told you not to mess with me, this time I'll give face to Old Man Bai, I won't bother with you, but if you keep laying hands on me, I want nothing to do with it, leave now and let Bai Landa become a laughing stock for everyone." Zhang Yang said coldly.

  Hai Shu heard Zhang Yang say this and suddenly became quiet.

  Zhang Yang let out a cold laugh and released his arm.

  Hai Hui turned back to glare at Zhang Yang with resentment, didn't say anything, and took the lead in walking to the entrance of the basement. He opened the iron door and said: "The wool is inside, you can choose it yourself!"

  "Come in too, I'm afraid you'll lock the door from the outside!" Zhang Yang said with a cold smile.

  He is now on high alert against this so-called Hai Shu, because Hai Shu's behavior has become too abnormal. His hatred towards himself even surpasses that of the old man Bai Fengxian, and Zhang Yang cannot help but raise his vigilance.

  Hai Shu glanced at Zhang Yang and didn't say anything else, then went in first.

  Zhang Yang then stepped into the basement with a light pace. After entering, Zhang Yang was somewhat surprised because it didn't look like what he had imagined - everywhere was full of wool, and there were only more than ten shelves inside, each shelf only placed one piece of wool.

  "That's all? You're not cheating me, are you?" Zhang Yang said with a difficult expression.

  "Old master, after all these years, you've only collected over twenty pieces of woolen goods. Those that were taken out and sold are gone, leaving just this many. Do you think these woolens are something ordinary? Each one was carefully selected by the old master himself, they're all top-notch."

  Zhang Yang curled his lips and thought to himself, "Whether it's a good product or not isn't up to you to decide."

  He looked up from the first piece, and soon he was shocked. When he looked at the second piece, after all the wool had been unfolded, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. There were thirteen pieces of wool in total, with eleven of them containing jadeite. The remaining two pieces also contained jadeite, but the quality was extremely poor, and Zhang Yang hadn't counted them. It was indeed top-quality wool, no wonder Li Qianhui had reminded him.

  "Have you made your choice?" asked Hai Shu.

  "What's your hurry? It's like the emperor isn't in a rush but the eunuch is."

  Zhang Yang didn't hesitate and directly chose a piece of wool with the number 5, which weighed about 7 or 8 kilograms. The jade inside this piece of wool was a blue color that Zhang Yang had never seen before. He didn't know if the blue color was valuable or not, but the transparency of the jade was the same as the one he had solved today, so it should also be a glass species. Since it was a glass species, it must be valuable, so Zhang Yang didn't think much about it.

  Hai Shu flashed a hint of confusion, this piece of wool was not the best performer, nor was it the largest, why did Zhang Yang choose this one?

  "Let's go!" Zhang Yang said, hugging his woolen blanket.

  "Mr. Zhang, you've taken the goods and the shop is yours now. This matter has come to an end. I don't want to hear any rumors that might be detrimental to Young Master Bai. If I do, my master will look for you, and so will I."

  Zhang Yang sneered, "It seems that being someone's lackey for so long has become a habit. You think you're some kind of big shot? What makes you look for me? Are you worthy? I, Zhang Yang, am not some grand figure, but a person just like everyone else. And what are you? A dog! Scram as far away from me as possible. Matters between us don't concern a lowly servant like you."

  Hai Shu didn't get angry at Zhang Yang's insult, but instead said word by word: "I do what I say, if you dare to scheme against Bai Shaoye, I'll stake my life on it and won't let you off."

  Zhang Yang felt a chill in his heart, and he sensed the bone-piercing cold air. He could tell that Hai Shu was telling the truth. Zhang Yang really couldn't understand; he was just a lowly servant, so why would he have such great resentment towards himself? From the tone of his words, it seemed that he only cared about Bai Landa, which was strange - wasn't he Bai Fongqian's servant? Why wouldn't he take Bai Fongqian's words to heart and instead repeatedly threaten him because of Bai Landa's affairs?

  "Hmm, anything else? If not, I'll take my leave. You can stay here by yourself." Zhang Yang said as he carried the woolen goods out of the basement. He felt that staying with this Hai Shu any longer would be dangerous, this person's mental state was really problematic.

  Zhang Yang discovered that the White family had many secrets, such as not having seen the host, Bai Lander, for so long, and not hearing any news about Bai Lander's parents. There were also very few staff members in this villa, and he only met Hai Shu. Forget it, these things have nothing to do with him, why think so much! The only thing that made Zhang Yang feel reluctant to leave was the woolen goods in the basement. Unfortunately, those were all treasures collected by Old Man White, and if not for this opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to get his hands on them, and such opportunities would be gone forever.

  Hong Yaqin, who had been waiting anxiously, saw Zhang Yang holding a piece of wool and hurried over to ask: "Zhang Yang, is it solved?"

  "Alright, it's settled then. Let's head back and talk." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  Hong Yaqin heard that everything was settled and revealed a brilliant smile. Then she looked at the woolen fabric in Zhang Yang's hand with some curiosity: "What is this?"
