Chapter 358 A Good Harvest
“This piece of white jade is so beautiful.” Wei Fangxia suddenly takes a fancy to a piece of square white jade. She takes it in hand and is very happy.
“Buy it.” Hao Huihua hurriedly says.
“It must be very expensive!” Wei Fangxia doesn’t have much money and dares not to expect it.
“Excuse me, how much is this piece of jade?” Hao Huihua asks at once.
“800 thousand yuan.”
Hearing that the jade is worth 800 thousand yuan, Wei Fangxia hurriedly puts it down because she doesn’t even have eighty thousand yuan at the moment.
Seeing that Wei Fangxia likes it very much, Hao Huihua picks up the square white jade again and begins to bargain with the owner. She seems to be very experienced and is good at bargaining. She decreases the price from 800 thousand yuan to 500 thousand yuan, and then to 300 thousand yuan. Finally she makes it 280 thousand yuan.
Hao Huihua pays the money and hands it to Wei Fangxia, “Madam Wei, this is for you. Take it.”
“Why do you want to give it to me? No, it’s too expensive.” Wei Fangxia dares not to accept it.
“We are good sisters. I give you this piece of jade and it is also a witness to our friendship.” Hao Huihua hands it again and puts it in Wei Fangxia’s hand. She says smilingly, “You’re two years older than me. Take it as a gift from a little sister.”
“Yes! Madam Wei, just accept it!” Zheng Xinmei also persuades her.
“Since I’m older, I should give a gift to you.” Seeing that she can’t refuse, Wei Fangxia takes it in her hand and can’t hide the joy in her eyes.
“Madam Wei, you’re taking a bribe!” Li Yong says seriously, “I warn you. I’ll report you.”
Wei Fangxia is startled and hurriedly returns the square white jade to Hao Huihua. Hao Huihua looks at Li Yong and says, “Yong, how can you do this? Ms. Wei and I feel like old friends at the first sight. I send her a piece of jade and it’s not a bribe.”
“Yes! Yong, don’t frighten us.” Zheng Xinmei also says.
“Kidding, I’m kidding.” Li Yong chuckles and says. He didn’t expect that he really could startle Wei Fangxia. He is happy in the heart. Now he has caught something on Wei Fangxia. How dare she be fierce to him in the future?
“I am a policewoman. I really can’t take it.” Wei Fangxia also becomes serious and insists on returning it to Hao Huihua. Then Wei Fangxia no longer dares to express her love for white jade. She just follows behind and talks less.
The word “bribe” is so shocking to her that she feels startled and nervous.
Hao Huihua has no choice but to take it. This square jade isn’t worth 280 thousand yuan in her eyes. She just wants to get close to Wei Fangxia. Wei Fangxia doesn’t accept it, so the money is spent in vain.
However, she is also secretly calculating in the heart and wants to find another opportunity to send it to her.
“Let me have a look.” Li Yong says.
Hao Huihua hands the square white jade to Li Yong, who frowns and says, “There are light yellow impurities and spots in this jade. It isn’t worth 280 thousand yuan.”
Zheng Xinmei also looks at it and says, “Yes, it isn’t worth it. I think it is worth at most 200 thousand yuan.”
“It is worth it as long as she likes it.” Hao Huihua says with a smile.
Li Yong hesitates for a moment and tries to remove the light yellow impurities and spots from the white jade with spiritual power. As a result, the impurities and spots become lighter and lighter. He clears away the impurities and spots with only a wisp of spiritual power.
This square white jade become pure white like white clouds and is very beautiful.
Li Yong suddenly understands that his spiritual power can remove not only the impurities and spots in bloodstones, but also the impurities and spots in other stones. Besides, it’s much easier to do it.
In order to prove his guess, Li Yong buys several pieces of white jade, topaz and emerald which are not very beautiful with dozens of thousands of yuan in the antique shop. He tries to remove the impurities and spots with spiritual power. The result is just the same as his guess. Some impurities and spots are easily removed.
Even if some are difficult to remove, it only consumes one more wisp of power to make the impurities and spots become much lighter.
So those pieces of jade that are not very beautiful all become bright and dazzling in his hand.
Although some can’t be completely removed, the quality has been improved a lot. He can make a lot of money if he sells them, which makes Li Yong very surprised, as if he has found another way of making money. But his consumption is also very huge, because he has to consume about two wisps of spiritual power to remove the impurities and spots in each piece of jade.
After discovering the wonderful use of spiritual power, Li Yong goes to the antique shop one by one and buys more and more.
He can get several wisps of spiritual power in each antique shop. From noon to night, he wanders for more than eight hours and goes to 110 antique shops. He gains 520 wisps of spiritual power.
However, he also consumes a lot. He buys a total of 15 pieces of bloodstone and turns all of them into top-class bloodstones, which consumes him 60 wisps of spiritual power. He also buys 36 pieces of various kinds of jade and turns them into top-class jade, which also consumes 60 wisps of spiritual power.
All in all, he has got 520 wisps of spiritual power and consumed 120 wisps. There are 400 wisps left.
In addition, he has also got 36 pieces of top-class jade and 15 pieces of top-class bloodstone.
It is really a good harvest, so he gets more excited as he visits those stores. He wanders in these shops from noon to night.
The three women follow him. They are in high spirits at first, but become exhausted before long.
In the evening, the three women feel painful in their waists and backs. Their legs are weak and they keep sighing.
Seeing that Li Yong enters another antique shop, they sit down on the front steps and don’t care whether it’s dirty. They wait outside the door and won’t go in. They rub their legs and waists, stretch out their arms, and keep grumbling.
Among them, Zheng Xinmei still carries a bag. All the jade stones bought by Li Yong are in the bag. She is the most tired and bitter person, but she dares not to say it. Li Yong is her boss and this is the first time that she has come here. She must serve her boss well!
After shopping in the last antique shop, Li Yong comes out energetically and has a few more pieces of jade in his hand. He puts them into Zheng Xinmei’s bag on her back and smiles happily, “Let’s go to dinner!”
“Do you need to have dinner? I thought you weren’t hungry!” Wei Fangxia says angrily. She has urged Li Yong nearly a hundred times from noon. Only now does Li Yong remember to have dinner.
How could they tolerate?
So when Li Yong went to the antique shop to buy all kinds of jade, they ate some snacks on the side of the road. Zheng Xinmei gave food to Li Yong, but Li Yong was too busy to eat.
Wei Fangxia calculates in her heart that Li Yong didn’t slept last night and hasn’t had dinner. She is really curious how he could stand it. Sometimes she is even worried that Li Yong will suddenly faint.
“Yong, where do we go to eat?” Zheng Xinmei asks wearily.
“I won’t go. I’d better go home early!” Hao Huihua says weakly.
“You can’t go. I’ll give you gifts after dinner.”
Li Yong smiles happily. Then he waves his hand and leads the way in front of them, “Let’s go.”
They come to a luxury restaurant and have a good dinner. Then they come to the building of Tiankai Jewelry and Jade Sales Center. This used to be the headquarters of the Tiankai Gang. The decoration is very luxurious. Now it belongs to Li Yong.
Li Yong sits in the sofa, waves his hand and says, “Give me the bag.”
Zheng Xinmei immediately hands Li Yong the bag that weighs dozens of pounds. Li Yong opens it and looks inside. The 56 pieces of various glittering and translucent jade are dazzling and reflect his face.
They were all selected by him and their qualities have all been changed by him with spiritual power. They were ordinary and cheap when he bought them, but now each of them is worth a lot of money.
“You’ve been working hard with me today, so I’ve decided to send each of you a piece of jade. Come here and take out one piece from the bag without looking at it. I’ll give you whatever you take out. Let’s see which one of you is lucky.”
Saying this, he looks at Wei Fangxia, Zheng Xinmei and Hao Huihua and finds that the three women are really tired. Their expressions are stiff and cold, and they even have no strength to smile.
It is said that women have endless strength and energy when going shopping. The reality is completely different from what’s said!
“They are all worth only thousands of yuan. Why should we take them? It seems that you are generous. Who wants your junks?” Wei Fangxia sneers and says. She can’t take it anyway. It is bribery if she accepts it, so she is not happy at all.
“Yong, it’s my job to entertain you. I don’t want any present.” Zheng Xinmei says seriously. She’s really satisfied that she has got this good job that has a good salary and is very easy.
“Yong, I’m very grateful that you let me do your business. I really can’t take your gift.” Hao Huihua says very seriously. She has a jade processing plant that relies on the orders of Tiankai Jewelry and Jade Sales Center to survive.
At this moment, the three women wearily lean on the sofa with dull faces and eyes. They are tired all over the body and don’t find that the jade stones in the bag have had qualitative change.
“They are not just worth several thousand yuan. Don’t you really want it? Don’t regret!” Li Yong smiles and takes out one piece, “In my view, this is a top-class jade stone. Each of them will be worth several million yuan!”
Wei Fangxia looks at it and feels that the white jade in Li Yong’s hand is glittering and translucent. It reflects bright light like a lamp tube, which is very beautiful. She wants to take it, but as soon as she remembers that Li Yong said she took a bribe, she says angrily, “Do you think you can cheat us? We all saw it when you paid. Four pieces of jade cost over ten thousand yuan in total. Aren’t they inferior goods that are worth only several thousand yuan?”
But Zheng Xinmei is surprised and says, “It’s beautiful. It...seems to be a piece of top-class jade.”
Hao Huihua looks at it and is immediately stung by the light reflected by the white jade in Li Yong’s hand. She is startled and suddenly gets up from the sofa to look closely. Then she finds that the jade stones in her bag are all as bright and beautiful as that in Li Yong’s hand, as if they have spirits.
