Minister Liu had climbed to his current position with a bit of cunning, and though he was highly displeased with Xiao Zheng who had followed Mu Yiqing, when he sat back down, he did not show it and still had a smile on his face.Upon seeing Xiao Zheng and Mu Yiqing seated, he raised his glass jovially, proposing a toast and even cracked a few jokes, enlivening the atmosphere at the table in a short span of time.Xiao Zheng was there to accompany Mu Yiqing, so naturally, he wasn’t going to cause any trouble. Therefore, he cooperated with Minister Liu, although he barely spoke, quietly drinking and eating.Then the conversation turned to the business deal at hand.Once the discussion entered professional territory, Mu Yiqing was spirited, shedding her usual shyness, and began to expound at length on the topic. Her logic was clear and convincing, making a powerful argument.The listeners all nodded inwardly; Qianqiu Group was extremely stringent in hiring, one had to be an elite to join.

Upon arriving at Mingzhu Building, Mo Anna exited the car and walked to the entrance with Xiao Zheng, handing over the invitation to the security guard.The security guard took the invitation, checked it, and with a respectful expression, invited Mo Anna inside. The two then entered the grand and majestic building.Before them was a long corridor leading to a very spacious hall at the end, filled with a bustling crowd.Xiao Zheng looked at these people and was slightly surprised because he saw several influential figures."The CEO of the Barry Group..."A short, middle-aged man surrounded by people like stars around the moon. This man was the founder of a legendary company in Jiangcheng City.This Barry Group, even Xiao Zheng held in high regard, had an influence that had already transcended national borders and spread worldwide, being a supergiant of the internet."Zhonghai..." Immediately after, Xiao Zheng saw another person who often appeared on television.Of course, the current X

Xiao Zheng heard Wang Renze saying this, but he just smiled secretly.Wang Renze seemed to be offering his help to Xiao Zheng, when in reality, the subtext was that Xiao Zheng simply wasn’t fit for such an occasion and his presence was merely inviting humiliation.Mo Anna obviously caught on as well, her brows furrowing slightly, a bit displeased, yet Wang Renze’s words were watertight, leaving her no place to retort there.After finishing his statement, Wang Renze then said with a laugh, "Come, Anna, as you have just arrived, you must be quite unfamiliar with this place. Allow me to be your guide."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes flickered faintly with a purplish-red glow as he walked into the area where the raw gemstones were displayed. His gaze swept around, but he found no precious jade among them.Suddenly, in a very inconspicuous corner, Xiao Zheng spotted a piece of jade raw stone, gray and very plain-looking.However, under his penetrating vision, the inside of the stone sparkled with a dazzling light, so intense it was almost blinding!"There’s something good inside this one." Xiao Zheng immediately walked over to the stone, picked it up, and chuckled to himself, "I choose you."The purplish-red light in his eyes faded.At this time, the other socialites and gentlemen were still carefully selecting through the area of raw stones.Choosing a raw stone is a task of endurance, most people take a long time, making various comparisons, before finally making a decision to pick a stone.Mo Anna, however, did not choose. She was not very interested in this kind of stone gambling but knew a bi

Before Wang Renze, many people had already handed over their stones to the master craftsmen skilled in stone cutting, and the ones invited to this banquet were those with very extensive experience in top-level stone cutting. There weren’t many of them, so they could only queue up patiently.The stone-cutting machine was turned on.After securing the stone, the master craftsman started his cut with the stone-cutting machine.Instantly, stone chips flew in all directions, and the skin of the secured raw stone visibly thinned rapidly, gradually revealing the scene inside.It was completely empty."Ah, I bought a useless stone."The owner of the stone couldn’t help but sigh."There’s no need to be disappointed, your choice of this stone was actually quite correct. The chances of finding jade are rare; it’s just bad luck this time."The stone-cutting master swiftly said with a smile, not wishing to dampen their enthusiasm as, after all, the more stones they cut, the more they could earn."

After Wang Renze had finished cutting the gemstone, it was Xiao Zheng’s turn. Xiao Zheng’s stone weighed over thirty kilograms and wasn’t cheap, costing well over one hundred thousand yuan.Holding the stone, he walked up to the stone-cutting master and asked for help cutting it. His expression, however, was quite calm, showing no sign of nervousness.When the crowd saw this scene, they couldn’t help but laugh."Look, you might as well not cut it. With a stone like that, I doubt anything will come out of it.""Hehehe, if you give up now, it’s not too late, otherwise, you’ll lose over one hundred thousand yuan, and there goes several years of your salary.""This stone of yours isn’t even as good as those found on the ground. Just a waste of money."The corners of their mouths bore a hint of mocking smiles, looking at Xiao Zheng as if he were a fool.Mo Anna, feeling annoyed, was about to speak when Xiao Zheng glanced at them with a faint mocking look in his eyes and uttered a few words

Xiao Zheng merely smiled faintly and said, "I have another use for this jadeite, I won’t sell it."As he spoke, he walked up to the stonecutter and said, "Please help me cut this stone."The stonecutter agreed with a nod, and soon his machine whirred into action. Within a few motions, he had cut the stone down to the size of an egg and handed it to Xiao Zheng.The jadeite was crystal clear, resembling a shimmering block of transparent ice, and it radiated a dazzling green light.Xiao Zheng took the stone, walked over to Mo Anna, and placed the stunningly beautiful jadeite in the palm of her hand, saying, "This is for you."Suddenly, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the room.Everyone stared at Xiao Zheng in disbelief. This piece of jadeite was Zhengyang ice green, worth nearly two million!To give it away just like that?Such bold generosity was simply shocking.The young ladies all looked at Xiao Zheng with different eyes, their gazes subtly shifting. To give such a precious

The huge stone split into two halves under the sharp cutting machine, and then the stonemason instructed his assistant to separate the pieces.A brilliant radiance shimmered forth from the cut surface of the stone.Everyone hurried to look.Once they clearly saw what was inside, continuous exclamations erupted, and everyone’s eyes showed surprise!It was indeed another piece of imperial green ice jade.However, this piece of stone was much larger and of better quality than the one Xiao Zheng had previously cut.The stonemason was also amazed, and after a careful inspection, he said, "This piece of jade is huge, a rough estimate would put its value at no less than nine million!"Everyone gasped again.Nine million! A jadeite of this grade, even looking nationwide, was rare. They had not expected Wang Renze to cut such a piece!He had bought this stone for more than seven million, and the jadeite that was cut out was worth more than nine million. Just like that, in the exchange, he had
