"No need to thank me, we're just taking what we need!"
Jiang Yi looked at Du Hai and said, "I'll find an opportunity to have you report Manager Du at Wanhui Company. You only need to report Manager Du for betraying the company. As for the evidence, I'll have someone prepare it for you. Remember, this matter is of great importance and cannot have any mistakes."
"Okay!"
Du Hai nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi got up and left the tea house.
If this matter succeeded, Manager Du would surely die!
Manager Du was no good person; dealing with him would be like eliminating a pest for the public.
Outside the tea house, just as Jiang Yi was about to get into his car to leave, he noticed a car parked nearby.
This car seemed to have just stopped there.
Jiang Yi felt that the person in the car was staring at him.
It seemed he was being followed.
If word got out about bribing Du Hai, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he would also be in trouble.
Manager Du would definitely retaliate against him.
Just then, the car door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out.
It was Dongfang Mei!
Seeing it was Dongfang Mei, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Jiang Yi felt a bit helpless!
He hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to be so fond of following him; she was like a stalker.
"Why are you following me?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"After the banquet ended just now, I saw you leave in a hurry. I thought you were meeting some seductress, so I followed you!"
Dongfang Mei smiled. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words, neither crying nor laughing.
Dongfang Mei was too suspicious!
It was fortunate they weren't married yet; otherwise, Dongfang Mei would surely monitor him twenty-four hours a day.
"Let's go! Accompany me shopping!"
Dongfang Mei walked over and linked her arm with Jiang Yi's.
Jiang Yi tried to shake off her hand, but Dongfang Mei held on even tighter.
"What are you afraid of? We're boyfriend and girlfriend now!"
Dongfang Mei asked with a frown, "My mother told you to spend more time with me during this period. I've already decided; I plan to deal with Wanhui Company with you!"
"Let's just go shopping!"
Jiang Yi changed the subject.
The reason he didn't agree was that he didn't want to involve Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei had already helped him a lot; for the upcoming matters, Jiang Yi intended to handle them himself.
Jiang Yi accompanied Dongfang Mei shopping for about an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, he then sent Dongfang Mei home.
The night passed without incident!
The next morning, Jiang Yi drove directly to Baisheng Street.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Du Hai on the street.
Judging by Du Hai's appearance, he had been waiting there for a long time.
Du Hai hurried over to greet Jiang Yi when he saw him, "Manager Jiang, you're here!"
"Mm."
Jiang Yi responded, scanned the surrounding streets, and then said to Du Hai, "Let's find a stone gambling stall, and I'll teach you some stone gambling skills!"
Du Hai nodded eagerly.
"Many good jades cannot be seen from the surface. Through observation, listening, and feeling, one can select good jades!" Jiang Yi said.
Du Hai was stunned by this.
"Observation, listening, and feeling—aren't these medical terms? What does this have to do with stone gambling? Mr. Jiang, you're not trying to trick me, are you!" Du Hai's face was full of helplessness.
"What do you know?"
Jiang Yi replied, "Stone gambling is the same as treating patients. 'Observation' means judging whether there is jade inside based on the stone's color, texture, and other appearances. 'Listening' means judging from the street vendor's words whether the jade is worth investing in. 'Feeling' means using your hands or other objects to tap it and see if there is good jade."
Seeing Jiang Yi speaking so articulately, Du Hai immediately believed him.
"There's a lot of knowledge in this. If you want to learn all my skills, you'll need to practice well!"
Jiang Yi looked at Du Hai and said with a smile, "What I just told you sounds very simple, but it's actually not that simple. Take 'feeling' in observation, listening, and feeling as an example; it requires very good hearing to discern tapping sounds that others cannot hear."
Du Hai kept nodding.
"Let's go and put it into practice. You'll learn well!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi led Du Hai towards a nearby stone gambling stall.
When the boss saw customers arriving, he immediately greeted them with a smile, "Gentlemen, my rough stones contain quite a bit of good jade. Just yesterday, a gentleman opened imperial jade from my stall! Perhaps you will be lucky enough to open a piece of premium imperial jade today."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
This boss was quite skilled at fooling people!
But he wasn't a fool!
It was clear the boss was bragging.
These broken stones of his couldn't yield any imperial jade.
If imperial jade could be opened so easily, it wouldn't be valuable.
"How much does it cost to open one?" Jiang Yi asked.
"One hundred thousand!"
The boss replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi turned and walked away.
"Sir, we can discuss the price further!"
The boss walked over and quickly said to Jiang Yi, "Tell me how much you're willing to pay, and we'll discuss it."
"One thousand per opening!" Jiang Yi said.
"Sir, are you joking with me? There's no such thing as one thousand per opening on Baisheng Street. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone!"
After speaking, the boss frowned and said, "Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"We came to gamble on stones; it's you who are causing trouble!" Su Dan Novel Network
Du Hai's face showed anger, and he said to the boss, "Do you know who Mr. Jiang is? He is the master who opened ten pieces of premium fine jade at the Bai Sheng Company celebration a few days ago."
The boss was stunned upon hearing this!
"If Mr. Jiang says these rough stones of yours are worthless, then they are worthless. Mr. Jiang's judgment will not be wrong!" Du Hai said proudly.
At this moment, quite a few onlookers had gathered.
They had absolute faith in Jiang Yi's abilities.
Some even said they would never dare to gamble on stones at this boss's stall again, calling the boss a swindler.
The boss couldn't sit still anymore!
"Mr. Jiang, why are you ruining my stall? How am I supposed to do business in the future?"
The boss said to Jiang Yi with a furious expression, "Today, I'll risk it all and make a bet with you. You just said my rough stones can't yield good jade, right? Fine, I'll open them all now. If I open any jade worth more than a hundred thousand, you'll buy all my rough stones at a price of one hundred thousand each!"
"And if I can't open any jade worth a hundred thousand?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
"If after opening them all, there's no jade worth a hundred thousand, I'll admit defeat and won't charge you a penny. All the jade opened will be yours!" the boss said.
In fact, the boss was also gambling.
Even though he was the boss, he wasn't sure if there was any jade inside these rough stones; he would only know after opening them.
