Chapter 36 Less Than Ten Minutes Together, Goodbye

Wen Dacang was also very puzzled. He had casually asked for a price, but this young man in front of him actually accepted it?! Was he a fool for not negotiating..

Wan Lang had taken a look at all the stones he had released. Usually, if there was really a peerless good material, Wan Lang would keep it for himself. As for the ones he had put on the market, if he was lucky, it would not be a problem to make a small profit.

Even though Wen Dacang did not know what method Wan Lang used, his eyes seemed to have X-ray vision. There was no mistaking the chosen stone.

The stone that Kong Xiuyao had chosen had indeed been there for a long time. Every day, he would set it up when he set up the stall and bring it back when he closed the stall. Wen Dacang had been moving it around and had almost developed feelings for it, so he simply placed it on the side closest to the crowd as a mascot.

He happily took the bank card from Kong Xiuyao’s hand and swiped away 30,000 yuan from the card. His eyes narrowed into slits.

“Thank you for waiting. I’ll open the stone for you immediately!’ Wen placed the stone on the stone-cutter.

It was still the familiar operation and the familiar mocking laughter. It was even louder than before. Qiu Lingruo sized up the mocking faces around her unhappily and thought to herself, “When the stone is opened later, you’ll know how powerful my master is!”

Kong Xiuyao blocked out the noise and stared at the blade gradually sinking into the stone. He was thinking about where to sell the stone later. After thinking about it, he decided to find that person.

Wen Dacang was also very happy. Someone had offered a high price to buy the “slow-selling mascot”. He was especially motivated to cut the stone and even hummed a tune. The others were also waiting to see how amazing an old stone that was sold for 30,000 yuan could be.

As the blade went deeper, Wen Dacang found it harder and harder to continue humming. His eyes, which were always smiling, opened back to their original size, and his relaxed brows furrowed together. Through the slit, he vaguely saw an incredible color!

Wen Dacang was slightly shocked and sped up his cutting!

“Clack.”

The blade cut off the last bit of connection. The verdant green carried a natural light, stimulating everyone’s eyes. This old stone was actually top-notch glass imperial jade! It was completely emerald green without any impurities!

The market price was at least 180,000 yuan!

Wen Dacang’s hands trembled as he carefully picked up the stone, his arm feeling the heavy weight.

A minute ago, he was guarding the raw stone without realizing it. A minute later, the raw stone belonged to someone else. His heart was bleeding from selling it for 30,000 yuan.

“Lingruo, take the stone and let’s go.” Kong Xiuyao had long known the outcome, and his expression did not change at all.

He wasn’t angry at the mockery. He wasn’t happy that he’d gotten the jade. What mattered to him now was whether or not he made it to the plane in time.

“What.. what’s going on..” Pian Bai looked down at the spot where he had visited the stone. He could not believe that he had brushed past the imperial green countless times. His heart ached.

Of course, Wen Dacang could not let them sell the imperial jade just anywhere, so he found an acquaintance to help him look after the stall. Then, he quickly caught up to Kong Xiuyao. “Little brother, please wait. If you want to buy stones, come to our Treasure Court. Our price is fair.”

“Sure.” Qiu Lingruo said on behalf of Kong Xiuyao, “We can visit some acquaintances on the way.”

Wen Dacang did not care who their acquaintances were. They were just shop assistants. However, he had to continue. “What a coincidence. Our Boss Wan is in the shop. He’s very easy to talk to. Don’t be nervous. This is a rare jade material. Just tell me the price you want.”

Kong Xiuyao nodded in satisfaction. It had to be said that having someone who could provide him with love service in a place like this could improve his impression of him. No wonder the Treasure Court had such a good reputation here.

Wen Dacang led the way to an antique shop with a carved root artwork in the shape of a gorilla. It stood on three legs, one hand extended into the air as if picking the moon.

After entering, he saw a fan-shaped screen with antique vases of various colors on it. Kong Xiuyao took a look and realized that the imitation was very real.

There was someone standing behind the screen. The rosewood cigarette smoke swirled around him, making him look like a sage.

“Boss, a young man just opened a good imperial jade. I’ll show it to you,” Wen Dacang said respectfully. “Slap-“

The sound of a fan being unfolded was accompanied by a drawling tone. A man with pigtails and round sunglasses walked out. He raised his eyelids and said, “Imperial jade? Are you sure?”

“Absolutely!” Wen Dacang promised. He didn’t even dare to say that the imperial jade had slipped out from Wan Lang’s hands. He just smiled and nodded.

“In that case, I’ll take a look.” Wan Lang closed his fan and pouted, as if he had a plum inside. He was quite ostentatious.

When Kong Xiuyao saw that he seemed to be walking on stage, he narrowed his eyes in disdain. He didn’t know if it was because this industry generally liked to be mysterious, or if incense was too much and his brain was too silly, but Wan Lang dragged on for two minutes.

“We’re in a hurry. Hurry up,” Kong Xiuyao said bluntly.

“Hehe, are you begging me? Do you believe I..” Wan Lang did not like the tone of the person who just arrive. He looked up and the words on his lips suddenly changed just as he was about to retort. “Do you believe that I will kneel down and listen to your teachings!”

“What did you say?” Wen Dacang did not understand what Wan Lang was up to.

Kong Xiuyao smiled and said, “Long time no see. You’re doing well.”

“It’s all thanks to you,” Wan Lang said obediently.

He stopped fanning himself. He stopped wearing his sunglasses. His body collapsed like a pillar. He didn’t look like a boss as he stood straight up in a military posture. The corners of Wen Dacang’s mouth twitched. He had personally seen his boss bow 90 degrees to a young man who had entered less than two minutes ago! He had followed Wan Lang for so many years, but he had never seen him so humble.

Could it be that this young man was Wan Lang’s master? Was that why he was able to discover the treasure among the stones that Wan Lang had chosen?

‘So young!’ Wen gasped.

Kong Xiuyao looked at his watch and said to Wan Lang, “I’m in a hurry. I’ll sell you this stone for 150,000 yuan. You won’t lose out. Do you accept it?”

“Yes! Master, I’ll buy from you for at least 200,000 yuan!” Wan Lang raised the price. Hearing this, Wen Dacang was shocked. Only Wan Lang’s master could make buying stones look like an auction!

“No need.” Kong Xiuyao refused decisively. “150,000 yuan will do. I still have to leave you some profits.”

“Master, your heart aches for your disciple.” Wan Lang smiled like a sunflower. Seeing Kong Xiuyao was like seeing the sun. The entire transaction took less than five minutes. Both sides handed over the money and delivered the goods.

Wan Lang held the imperial jade as if it was a treasure. He wanted to say a few more words to Kong Xiuyao to express his excitement. However, Kong Xiuyao did not have that much time. He took the money and walked out.

“Master, I have something to tell you!”

“Next time. You took too long with your entrance so we don’t have time to talk now. Thank you for today. Bye-bye.”Kong Xiuyao said mercilessly to his surprise.

“As expected of Boss’s master!” Wen Dacang praised as he looked at his elegant back.
