Chapter Thirty-Four: All Learn, All Learn

  The next day, Lin Yue had breakfast at Qin Zonghan's house and left. Originally, Qin Zonghan wanted to give Lin Yue some money because the jade was discovered by Lin Yue after all, and he should have a share of the profit. However, Lin Yue firmly refused to accept it. Seeing Lin Yue's firm expression, Qin Zonghan could only put the red envelope back, almost pulling Lin Yue back to his house again to drink together.

  Lin Yue parted ways with Qin Zonghan on Jade Street, then gave He Youzang a call to ask where he was before going to find him.

  When he saw He Youzang, Lin Yue said directly: "I want to go back first today."

  He You Cang looked at Lin Yue with a surprised expression and asked faintly: "I'll send you?"

  "Haha, no need, I can just take a taxi. This time I'm mainly here to let you know." Lin Yue said with a smile.

  He Youzang nodded slightly and said, "I'll be staying here for a few more days."

  Lin Yue nodded, bid farewell to He Youzang and rushed to the hotel, calling out to the taxi driver to lift the woolen goods from the hotel safe onto the car. Of course, Lin Yue didn't forget his recognition card either.

  Taxis and He Yuzhang's car are not comparable, from Tengchong to Kunming it took a full six hours, Lin Yue arrived in Kunming after 3 pm. He didn't rush home, instead he transported the wool to Rongle Xuan's abandoned processing workshop.

  He Lao was also in the workshop looking at wool, and saw Lin Youyou return, stunned, asking: "How did you come back so quickly? Weren't you supposed to wait a few more days before coming back?"

  He looked at the emerald green wool fabric that Lin Yue had moved in, and at first glance, he thought it was of good quality, but soon he discovered the cracks on the surface of the fabric, and his eyebrows furrowed.

  "I had something to do, so I came back early. Lin Yu is still there." As he spoke, Lin Yue and the taxi driver put the wool into a corner of the factory, then paid the driver and let him leave.

  "Is this piece of woolen goods the one you gambled away 1.2 million in Tengchong?" He Chang asked with a frown.

  Lin Yue was taken aback by his words and immediately smiled wryly: "Master, you're not going to have someone follow me, are you?"

  "I'm so stuffed that I've come to follow you!" He Chang said with a bad tone: "What you've done in Tengchong these days has spread throughout the entire stone gambling world. Now, basically anyone who gambles on stones has heard of you. Five hundred yuan bet rose to four million, acknowledging card chips, publicly interpreting stone bets rose to twenty-five million, one hundred and twenty thousand yuan bet on a block of cracked material... each of these incidents is enough to be sensational, I didn't expect that all of this was done by you, kid. I really don't know if you're learning ceramics from me or learning stone gambling from me. Even the president of the Tengchong Jade Association, Old Man Lei, praised you and said that I have a good apprentice."

  In the end, He Changhe's tone was filled with a hint of pride and relief.

  "Learn, learn, hehe." Lin Yue smiled with a "hehe".

  He Chang glared at Lin Yue and said, "Don't forget that you're learning ceramics appraisal from me. As for gambling on stones, figure it out yourself - true skills can't be taught. By the way, there's something else I wanted to tell you when you got back, but since you're back early, I'll tell you now. A month from now, come with me to Jingdezhen."

  Jingdezhen?

  When Lin Yue heard this word, his heart suddenly jumped. For those who study porcelain and identify porcelain, this place is like Jerusalem, a holy land.

  "What's going on in Jingdezhen?" Lin Yue asked puzzledly.

  "What can be done is to go and visit, at the same time, also to show off a bit. This time there's an assessment of ceramic identification for you young people, we decided on this ten years ago, but I didn't have any apprentices so it wasn't held. The other day they heard that I was looking for an apprentice and immediately asked for a competition. These old guys are obviously trying to bully me because my apprentice has been taught for a short time, when I received the call I almost died from anger, but we're not cowards, since they dare to compete, we'll compete with them. This month I'll give you intensive training, don't be slow or sloppy, you can't tarnish my reputation!"

  Lin Yue was stirred up by this gaze, his confidence greatly increased, and he nodded heavily.

  Seeing this, He Chang's face showed a relieved expression, and then he walked towards the piece of fabric that Lin Yue had brought.

  Lin Yue suddenly calmed down and thought of a question, asking towards He Changhe's back: "Master, how many years have the people who are competing with me studied?"

  He thought to himself, if it were just three to five years, maybe he could still manage to scrape together a decent performance and not end up in last place. It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but this line of work was such that even with the best qualifications, it was all about gradually honing one's skills over time - no one could achieve success overnight.

  "It's been twenty or thirty years." He Chang said calmly.

  When he heard this, Lin Yue almost fell down in fright.

  Twenty-three years old?

  How can I compare with others when I've only been learning for a little over a month after leaving home halfway?

  Compared with experience? Even adding up the two years in Cang County is still not comparable.

  Is it better than knowledge? He didn't have confidence that he could learn more in a month than others who had spent twenty or thirty years studying hard.

  Master, you mustn't have any confidence or hope in me, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

  Lin Yue's face fell as he thought, at this time he found that his master had already squatted down to examine the fur, his heart suddenly jumped, thinking it was bad. No matter how you look at the crack, it can affect the jade inside, even if the Jade King himself might not be able to see the mystery inside.

  We have to get out of here quickly, otherwise it can't be explained!

  He prayed first, then Lin Yue immediately rushed to the gate of the processing plant, shouting as he ran: "Master, I have an urgent matter and will leave first. I'll come to explain tomorrow."

  As he spoke, the man had already run out of the factory.

  Behind them came the roar of He Changhe.

  Lin Yue

  "What a close call!" Lin Yue couldn't help but pat his own chest, silently sighing in relief after running out of the factory building for quite a distance.

  He then hailed a taxi and headed to the city center, buying some delicious takeout to bring back. After such a big harvest in Tengchong, he should at least celebrate a bit.

  In the supermarket, Lin Yue inadvertently walked into the wine-selling area, his heart slightly moved, and he bought a bottle of red wine that was some years old. After finishing the payment, he left with his purchases.

  Lin Yue returned home at 7 o'clock in the evening. He didn't tell Qin Yaoyao when he would arrive, wanting to surprise her instead.

  He didn't take out his key and open the door, but instead knocked on it with an air of gentility.

  The door was soon opened, and Qin Yaoyao's slightly pale face immediately appeared in Lin Yue's eyes, making his heart ache.
