Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran responded with a smile.

This is not because Chen Li is being polite to him. You must know that Lao Bing's jadeite is hard to come by in the market.

Even if it is a public transaction, tens of thousands of rough stones are traded, and it is estimated that only one or two pieces will be obtained.

Seeing that there was no good show, Master Jie Shi looked a little regretful. He blew on the surface of the saw teeth and put the saw teeth back into the machine.

"Little brother, there is still a part that is not finished. I will continue working now."

"Thank you." Lin Ran bowed his hand.

Master Jie Shi continued to be busy, while other people still stood around and watched, reluctant to leave.

They have to see this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity until the end, and going out will definitely be a bargain.

Lin Ran was standing next to him because the next piece of skin wouldn't be too thick and it wouldn't take too long to finish.

But Chen Li pulled Lin Ran back to her seat.

He said with a smile: "Lin Ran, how much do you want to sell this piece of material?"

Lin Ran originally thought it was just to help him out, but he didn't expect that she really wanted to buy it.

But when I heard her tell me her store name just now, generally speaking, only luxury stores can register such stores with aristocratic names. After all, discrimination was eliminated not long ago, so where can I register such a risky name?

Chen Li just looked at Lin Ran with a smile and did not urge him to answer her question.

Lin Ran had a headache now and asked, "Auntie, do you really want to buy this stone?"

Chen Li responded: "Of course, what we need is high-quality jade."

"But." Lin Ran said, "Auntie, I have already said that today I am here to help Brother Chen get this stone."

He said with some embarrassment.

To be fair, if it was an ordinary jadeite, he would have given it up long ago.

But if Chen Cheng knew that he had opened Lao Bing Jade and then sold it to someone else, he would probably be very disappointed.

And I haven't figured out what the relationship between Chen Li and Chen Cheng is. It doesn't seem to be as simple as a normal competitive relationship.

When Chen Li heard Lin Ran's words, a smile appeared on her face: "Lin Ran, don't worry about this. Just tell Chen Cheng when you go back and say that Ke Li bought his jade."

Although Chen Li was very confident, Lin Ran was the first person responsible for this matter, and he did not dare to risk leaving it to Chen Li.

"Auntie, this matter is difficult to handle." Lin Ran said, "How about you discuss it with Brother Chen."

Lin Ran didn't want to be a middleman, so as not to suffer from both sides.

Chen Li smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"

"No, no, no, Auntie, don't get me wrong. I'm just helping Brother Chen. I'm entrusted by others and it's a matter of loyalty. Please forgive me." Lin Ran declined her request politely.

"What if I offer 20?" Chen Li asked, deliberately quoting a price that ordinary people couldn't refuse.

Logically speaking, 20 yuan is enough to buy a complete ice jade at auction, although a jewelry store can earn more than ten times the profit through processing.

But it has nothing to do with most ordinary people. 20 is the peak price of a piece of rough jade, even higher than Lin Ran estimated.

But Lin Ran refused without thinking.

"Auntie, this is not a matter of money." Lin Ran stood up and bowed slightly, "Auntie, please be considerate."

Ke Yu on the side also advised: "Mom, just a broken rock, forget it."

Although her words didn't sound good, she was obviously on Lin Ran's side.

Suddenly, Chen Li laughed.

"Yes, he is a man of his word." Chen Li nodded to Lin Ran, "I feel relieved, he is not a person who is unjust for profit."

Only then did Ke Yu realize that Chen Li was testing Lin Ran just now.

Lin Ran was confused, but it sounded like she was praising herself, so she said humbly: "Auntie, you are flattering me."

Chen Li thought for a moment before asking: "Didn't you recommend me to buy a rough stone before? Is there any ice in that stone?"

After being reminded, several people around me recalled this incident.

Since ice seeds can be found in scraps, how bad will the quality of the rough stones they got in the auction area be?

Lin Ran did not identify the stone. He just relied on his own feeling that there would be jade in it.

I didn't dare to guarantee it, so I had to say tactfully: "I'm just lucky. I can't guarantee anything else."

"Lin Ran, you are so humble." Chen Li said, "Has anyone ever told you that being too modest is actually another kind of arrogance?"

"I don't dare." Lin Ran was startled after hearing this. Chen Li's character was really more conciliatory than Ke Yu's.

While they were talking, all the rough stones were finally cut.

After Lin Ran's old ice jade was completely cut out, it was smaller than expected, only about the size of two fists.

But I can't bear to plant it well. Chen Cheng will definitely smile from ear to ear when he sees this piece of jade.

Lin Ran didn't want to delay any longer. He was here with Yang Jianlong today. At such a trade fair, there would inevitably be some people with ulterior motives. It would be better to move their priceless jade to a safe place as soon as possible.

Yang Jianlong understood and took out a piece of cloth to wrap the jadeite. He didn't care that the surface was still dirty. He just went back and let Chen Cheng clean it himself.

"Are you leaving?" Ke Yu asked with some reluctance when he saw the two people walking out with the original stones.

Lin Ran nodded: "Our work is already done, you can take your time and choose."

"Lin Ran, why don't you wait for us to come together?" Chen Li said, "We are two weak women. If we encounter someone with ulterior motives on the road, no one will protect us."

Lin Ran certainly knew how a young lady like Chen Li could bring Ke Yu to a suburban trade fair alone. There must be their bodyguards waiting outside.

After all, if a top-quality jadeite is opened, it is impossible for two women to escort him back.

However, it doesn't seem appropriate to just leave the two of them here.

Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but at this moment, Yang Jianlong said: "Godfather, if you can trust me, give me the jade and I will send it to Uncle Chen."

"Who among us is following whom?" Lin Ran smiled. Considering the relationship between Yang Jianlong and himself, he would definitely not betray himself.

Besides, his family doesn't have the habit of collecting jewelry.

Lin Ran stopped and watched Yang Jianlong leave, while he returned to the understanding stone area.

Originally, the area around the Jieshi Terrace was deserted. I don’t know if it’s because the Jieshi Master himself has a reputation problem, or because people just like to go to crowded places.

Before they came over, Master Jie Shi had no business.

Now, a long queue has formed in front of his table. Even if he is busy until the evening, he may not be able to finish all the cuts.
