Will it be a rise with one stroke or a fall with one stroke? Will it be red at the opening or white at the opening? It all depends on this one stroke!
The saw blade was moving, and the stone chips were flying continuously. The water that relieved the temperature of the saw blade on the stone cutting machine was slowly dripping down, and the tension of the people around was rising with the dripping water droplets.
As the "zip" sound turned into the sound of the saw blade itself rotating, the wool was suddenly torn open. Everyone took a step forward, wanting to see what was inside from the cut.
"It's a price hike!" someone with sharp eyes immediately exclaimed, and this exclamation made Lin Yue's body suddenly jolt, staggering a few times almost falling over.
These three words are his greatest affirmation!
Lin Yue wanted to loudly express the grievances he had endured for so many days, but his mouth was unable to produce any sound. He almost used up all his last strength to turn on the stone cutter and then leaned against it, panting heavily.
I'm finally no longer a one-hit wonder!
I cut out the jade!
Lin Yuezhi silently screamed in his heart, he wanted to cry but ended up laughing instead, a silent and hearty laugh.
"Not bad." He Changhe walked out of the crowd and patted Lin Yue's shoulder in praise.
"Thank you!" Lin Yuezhi said in a hoarse voice, these two simple words contained his deepest gratitude.
"You don't have to thank me, you will eventually cut out the jade anyway. I just gave you an opportunity, nobody knows if you can cut it this time or not. People always need to believe in themselves, and also believe in others." He Chang said with a smile.
Lin Yue smiled slightly, believing that He Changhe was speaking to him, and believing that others were speaking to themselves. He Changhe gave him a vivid lesson, and also gave the people here a vivid lesson.
"Why don't you take a look at the jade you cut? It's a top-grade piece, icy green like an apple, and the water head is full. You're really our Rong Le Xuan's lucky star!" He Chang said.
"It's not me who is the lucky star, it's your grandson. The material was chosen by him, I just cut it." Lin Yue didn't take credit for himself, he knew that the achievement wasn't his.
"Too modest, I see that if you cut a little more or less at that angle, it would be a big trouble. But this one stroke of yours is extremely precise, from this one stroke, it can be seen that you are stronger than all the workers in our factory. Now, I formally employ you as the stone carver of Rong Le Xuan, with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, and there will be corresponding commissions according to actual situation. How about it, do you think it's okay? It can be seen that He Changhe is very eager to keep Lin Yue."
Lin Yue immediately nodded in agreement. It turned out that his basic salary at Zhangji Processing Workshop was only 600 yuan a month, and here it was 4,000 yuan a month, which was nearly seven times higher.
"Do you have a place to stay? Do you want me to arrange accommodation for you?"
As soon as he heard this, Lin Yue was about to agree, but suddenly a beautiful figure flashed through his mind, so he shook his head and said: "Thank you, I'll find a place to live by myself. In a few days, I have a friend who will be living with me."
"Alright, I won't insist then." He Changhe nodded.
At this moment, a burst of exclamation came from the crowd, and everyone's eyes focused on the cut on the emerald velvet.
He Youzang felt at ease as soon as he saw the color of the jade, this was absolutely a good start, but soon he discovered that it wasn't right, if the knife cut a bit wrong, it would be troublesome, if it cut too little, some impurities would be left behind, and it would be difficult to remove them later, if it cut too much, some of the color would be cut off, and it wouldn't be so perfect.
What a clever and ingenious move!
He Youzang couldn't help but feel emotional and said...
At this time, someone noticed He Youzhen's movements and found that he was staring at the cut of the emerald wool. Out of curiosity, he also looked towards the cut and soon discovered the secret behind it. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, which attracted the attention of others. After seeing the cut, everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath.
This knife can be said to be absolutely ingenious and precise, perfectly matching the line of He Youzhang's painting, completely cutting in the middle of that line. This is absolutely a master-level cut. The line of He Youzhang's painting is indeed exquisite, but if it weren't for this knife, his line would have been wasted.
For a moment, everyone's gaze at Lin Yue changed, with an added hint of respect.
He Youzang stood up and nodded at Lin Yue. Lin Yue could see that He Youzang was a man of few words, somewhat arrogant, but still respectful to those stronger than him. This nod was undoubtedly his affirmation and recognition of Lin Yue.
Lin Yue also smiled and nodded at him.
It was soon morning, and after Lin Yue had lunch at the factory, he stayed in the factory. Since there were a lot of wool materials transported this time, he helped to cut some of those not-so-good wool materials, which also counted as formal work. The good wool materials needed to be carefully checked and then drawn with lines for cutting.
Looking at a pile of wool, Lin Yue let out a mournful cry. Today there's no way to go see the house, wait until there's time again.
Because this time He Yuzang bought back more than a dozen tons of wool in Yingjiang, plus the remaining ones in the original factory building, just those inferior wools were cut by the workers in the factory for three days, and of course, not a few jade was also cut.
Before, Lin Yue cut were all others gambled wool, quality are relatively good, cut out jade probability is also high, but this time he cut from a very inconspicuous wool a glass species of wool, directly let that piece of wool value increased several thousand times, for which He Chang and delightedly rewarded him 10,000 yuan, making everyone cast envious glances at him.
Lin Yue was overjoyed at the reward, and he also learned not to underestimate any piece of fur, as it might contain high-quality jade.
For three days, Lin Yue stayed in the factory all day, eating and living here. He ate and lived with the workers here, quickly reaching a consensus with them, and he also learned some knowledge of gambling stones from those masters like Rong Le Xuan's master, although it was only for a short three days, which already benefited him greatly.
At the same time, Lin Yue also conquered everyone with his extraordinary stone-unlocking technique. It turned out that other workers looked down on him because of his youth, but later they realized there were people outside of their circle. Sun Xiang, who had met Lin Yue for the first time, couldn't help but sigh at his own misjudgment - he had taken a top-notch expert for a connections-based hire, which was truly pitiful!
On the fourth day, Lin Yue finally walked out of the factory building, dragging his luggage to a real estate agency. For four days, he had not seen the sun again, and his whole body felt like it was covered in mold. When he arrived at the agency, he wanted to find a two-bedroom apartment, but after searching for half a day, he couldn't find one. In the end, he could only choose a three-bedroom apartment, with the rent split into three parts: he would pay two parts and Qin Yaoyao would pay one part. Lin Yue finally got a small taste of what it's like to be rich, buying a house and leaving one room empty...
In the afternoon, the landlord took Lin Yue to see the house. On the way, Lin Yue roughly estimated the distance and found that it was not too far from Rongle Xuan's factory, which was just right. The house was in a small district with a relatively long history, although it was a bit shabby, but the scenery was good, there were many trees in the district, tall and straight, when the wind blew, it was cool and refreshing.
Lin Yue walked around the room, feeling quite satisfied. The household appliances were all complete and didn't need to be prepared by them. The monthly rent was 1,200 yuan, a price that Lin Yue absolutely couldn't afford in the past, but now felt nothing about.
Lin Yue signed a one-year contract and paid half a year's deposit before moving in.
After finding the house, Lin Yue called Qin Yaoyao and briefly reported on the situation of the house. He originally thought that the rent was a bit expensive, but unexpectedly Qin Yaoyao was very satisfied, so he put his mind at ease.
After finishing all the things, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Yue went to the vegetable market not far from the residential area and bought a lot of vegetables, which can be considered as a reward for himself. He also went to the bookstore and bought several books about jade knowledge. After dinner in the evening, Lin Yue retreated into his room to read books.
The following days passed very normally, Lin Yue stayed in the factory during the day to carve stones and followed Rong Le Xuan's master to learn about jade knowledge. These few days, He Chang also came to the factory several times to check on the situation of this batch of raw materials. He You was always staying in the factory all day, but he rarely spoke, just looking at the raw materials by himself. Lin Yue almost became He You's exclusive stone carver, every time after he drew the lines, it was Lin Yue who held the knife.
