Chapter Seventy-Five: Invitation

  Zhang Wei didn't ask Li Yang for more, this piece of jade was originally purchased for 35,000, so he opened with such a low price because he was afraid that Li Yang would choose the half-gambling stone that performed well earlier, but now Li Yang is not short of funds.

  "Alright, I'll take these two pieces then, take them all away!"

  Li Yang clapped his hands, the value of the two pieces of jade was at least nearly 2 million, and this did not include the value of the bright red jade. Li Yang had a feeling that the two golden fish-like red jades would not be worth less than the peony-patterned jade he bought later.

  "No problem, I'll have someone bring it up to your car right away!"

  Zhang Wei smiled slightly, these two gambling stones were dispensable for Zhang Wei, now selling them to Li Yang could still exchange some liquid funds, for him, there was probably no better result than this, of course, on the premise that he did not know the outcome after Li Yang cracked the stone.

  Fortunately, Li Yang's Volvo had enough space, and the large stone was placed in the back with still a lot of room to spare. Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he looked at the large stone inside, thinking that when they got back, he would have to find someone to help him lift it down, as this huge stone was too heavy for him to move by himself.

  "Older brother Li, good!"

  Wang Haomin looked at Li Yang with a slightly complicated expression, and Li Yang was taken aback for a moment, shaking his head without speaking.

  Earlier, when Li Yang suggested buying two pieces of Zhang Wei's gambier discs, Wang Hao Ming thought that Li Yang would definitely choose the best ones inside, even if he didn't buy that piece, and might have chosen the best two pieces of half-gambier discs. Unexpectedly, however, he chose two very ordinary full-gambier discs.

  This way, Li Yang's actions in his eyes became intentionally helping the two of them, using two pieces of mediocre wool fabric to get a chance for installment payments, no matter how you look at it, they took advantage.

  After paying the bill with his card, Li Yang specially checked the balance in his bank account. Looking at the long string of numbers, he nodded his head in satisfaction. A month ago, he would never have thought that he would undergo such a huge change; now he had over 10 million yuan in cash alone.

  After the transaction, Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida also arrived at Cuiyu Xuan. Zheng Kaida even brought his own jade from Zhengzhou to show off. Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin were both envious, their eyes burning with desire as they looked at Li Yang, wishing they could take him to gamble in Zhengzhou a few times right away.

  At night, Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin, who didn't know the truth, were tricked by Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida. The two didn't understand Li Yang's drinking capacity and, under Zheng Kaida's instigation, competed with Li Yang in drinking together. In the end, both of them were sent back home by others. Wang Haomin, who was known for being able to hold his liquor at two catties, ultimately couldn't hold on either. While Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin laughed loudly, they also admired Li Yang's drinking capacity even more. That day, Li Yang drank nearly three catties of white wine, which is an extremely large amount in Mingyang.

  After saying goodbye to Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida, Li Yang drove back to his apartment by himself. The apartment complex had a parking lot, but the parking spaces were very tight. Because Li Yang came back too late, he spent over ten minutes searching for a suitable parking spot.

  After parking the car, Li Yang's idea of buying a house became even stronger. Now, buying a small villa is no longer a problem for him. Maybe tomorrow he can take a day off and go out to look at houses.

  Back to the apartment, surfing the internet found that Wang Jiajia was not there. Li Yang casually lay on the bed and read a few new books he had just bought today. These books were all about antiques and introduced common knowledge of antiques. Li Yang's special ability could tell the true age of an object, this special ability if he didn't make good use of it, he would have to admit his own incompetence.

  Opening a book about ancient jade, Li Yang shook his head again. It's been almost ten days since he and Wang Jiajia last contacted each other. Since the incident at Li Yang's home, they haven't met online again.

  Suppressing the inexplicable irritability in his heart, Li Yang quietly flipped through the introduction on the book, and for some parts he didn't understand, he looked up materials on the computer. By bedtime, Li Yang had gained a considerable understanding of ancient jade, at least he knew how to distinguish those poorly counterfeited ones.

  "Good morning, Assistant Li!"

  "Good morning!"

  The next day in the morning, Li Yang arrived at the company very early, today he actually came even earlier than Zhang Ying.

  Sitting in his own office, Li Yang began to recall which of the two villas built by Mingyang was better. Now that Li Yang had plenty of money on hand, buying a house was an extremely important matter, and he didn't want to regret anything later.

  "Li Yang, just now Manager Zhang called and said he won't be coming today. He wants you to replace him here!"

  Wu Xiaoli suddenly appeared at the door of Li Yang's office, Li Yang was slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a bitter smile. He had originally planned to ask Zhang Ying for leave today, but Zhang Ying had run away first.

  "How about it, aren't you happy with the manager's job?" Wu Xiaoli suddenly walked in front of Li Yang's office desk, a bright smile spreading across her face, two small dimples appearing extremely cute.

  "No!"

  Li Yang let out a light sigh. He had already taken enough leave, and since Zhang Ying had something on today, he absolutely could not leave no matter what.

  "What's with the unhappy look?" Wu Xiaoli asked softly, her face seeming to show a hint of hesitation. After a while, she slowly said: "Li Yang, this Sunday is my grandfather's 70th birthday, do you want to come together?"

  "Grandpa?" Li Yang's face froze for a moment, then he immediately remembered the antique city incident and nodded: "Let's go, Grandpa's 70th birthday is worth celebrating!"

  "Alright, I'll come pick you up then, just wait for me at home!"

  Wu Xiaoli's face suddenly flushed, and she said as much before leaving without waiting for Li Yang's response. Li Yang looked at Wu Xiaoli's back in confusion, feeling that something was off about this girl.

  There are still four days until Sunday, and Shouli Yang doesn't plan to prepare any more gifts. The chicken blood stone can be simply wrapped up and given as a gift. Although the stone is expensive, Wu Xiaoli's help to their family is not small either. Two days ago, Liyang received a call from Licheng, saying that he had already received the car he bought, and also learned that the county government had allocated an additional 20 mu of land to them. This extra land didn't cost them a single penny, and without thinking, he knew it was all thanks to Wu Xiaoli's efforts.

  Zhang Ying didn't come today, all his work was piled on Li Yang's body. Actually, the manager's job wasn't much, mainly responsible for receiving big clients and not asking about the sales of the first floor store.

  As the year-end approaches, there are still many people coming to buy high-end jewelry. Li Yang received three clients in the morning and successfully sold tens of millions of yuan worth of jewelry. This sales performance made Li Yang sigh with emotion. When he was an intern on the first floor, his best performance was on Christmas Eve, but even that pales in comparison to this morning's achievement.
