Chapter Thirty-Two: Golden Silk Blue Butterfly

  Su Qing felt a bit helpless, she hadn't even said she wanted to sell the jade yet, and already a bunch of people were fiercely bidding.

  To sell or not to sell?

  This piece of jade is worth a fortune, selling for tens of millions is no problem, but Su Qing doesn't lack money. A few days ago, Su Qing received the first month's financial statement from Liyuan Club, it was extremely profitable, and the returns far exceeded Su Qing's expectations. In addition, Gu Minzhi opened three chain flower shops in Beijing, named Xihua Fang. Su Qing hasn't been to the flower shop yet, but heard that the price of fresh flowers there is several times higher than other shops. It's unknown how Gu Minzhi promoted it, but customers are flocking in continuously. Although it has only been open for less than a month, Su Qing still doesn't know the profit situation, but it can be confirmed that it is also a source of wealth.

  Su Qing thought that if she didn't sell it and kept it for herself, it wouldn't be worth much. It was good enough to practice her skills with. Su Qing thought about the other two pieces of jadeite she had obtained this time, and the one in front of her seemed unimportant by comparison. Looking at so many people fiercely bidding, Su Qing decided to sell the piece of jadeite that had been solved. Although it was Song Jie and Du Xuan who introduced Su Qing to gamble on stones this time, and it seemed that both families were interested in the jadeite in Su Qing's hand. Su Qing couldn't favor one side over the other, so she decided to let the highest bidder win.

  Du Wei looked at Su Qing and frowned slightly, walking over to ask in a low voice: "Su Qing, if you don't want to sell it, just say so. No one will force you to sell."

  "No way, seeing everyone's enthusiasm so high, I've already decided to sell it." Su Qing said with a smile towards the crowd.

  Su Qing's words were not soft, and everyone present knew that Su Qing was going to sell the jade. The jewelry merchants who intended to purchase continued bidding, including the Song and Du families. Su Qing held the jade in her hand and examined it carefully, after all, it would soon belong to someone else.

  The price rose very quickly and soon reached 20 million. Su Qing sighed that there were still many rich people in China, although some people were so poor they couldn't eat or dress warmly.

  "Twenty-two million."

  "Two billion three hundred million."

  "I'm out 25 million."

  The price kept rising, and the small-scale jewelers with limited funds gradually withdrew from the bidding. The strongest contenders here were the Song and Du families. In the end, only these two families continued to bid.

  "Thirty-seven million."

  "I'll pay 40 million, Song Zong chose a lot of good wool fabrics today, just give me this piece."

  "The wool has been bought but it's still unknown whether the outcome will be optimistic. It's still a case of 'the higher bidder wins', 42 million."

  "Forty-five million."

  "This piece is yours, I'll go cut ours later."

  "No one has offered a higher price, so this jade belongs to Mr. Song." Su Qing confirmed again that no one had raised the price, and then waited for both parties to settle the payment. Before long, Su Qing's phone showed that the money had been transferred, and Su Qing handed the jade to Song Jie beside her. Song Jie was going to give it to his elder, and the Song family members who received the jade were very happy.

  The auction ended, and the ownership of the jade was settled. Su Qing was still very satisfied with the price of 45 million. If the jewelry merchant had added more to the price, he would not have made much profit. This could be seen from the tone and expression of Song's last bid. As for Du's family, they might be disappointed after going back to settle the account.

  Su Qing today is considered to have made a huge harvest, but she didn't show much excitement or abnormal enthusiasm, instead, she was very calm. On the way back, Du Xuan and Song Jie were both in the car, and now the two of them are curious about Su Qing. How did Su Qing choose that piece of wool? Was it really because she liked the look of that stone? Su Qing's luck today is extremely good. And that piece of jadeite was bought for over 40 million, Su Qing didn't show any surprise or abnormal excitement at all. That's 40 million, not 40 thousand, and Su Qing is just a little girl who couldn't have seen so much money before, but she remained so calm. If it's said that she pretended to be like this, it doesn't look like it at all, could it be the result of her family education?

  Two people were guessing left and right, finally couldn't help but talk to Su Qing.

  "Su Qing, you are the biggest winner today, earning over 40 million yuan in one go. Aren't you happy?" Song Jie asked with a smile.

  "Of course I'm happy, who wouldn't like money? I don't have any issues with money, so next time I see something I like, I can just buy it without worrying about not having enough. Just now, knowing that I suddenly had so much money made me really happy, but since there are so many people around, if I showed my excitement, someone would laugh at me." Su Qing pretended to be an ordinary excited little girl.

  Who can distinguish which one is true and which one is false between Su Qing's previous calmness and current excitement. Du Yan is more concerned about whether Su Qing will gamble on the stone. When selecting the material earlier, Su Qing didn't even squat down to take a good look at the stones. But the result of unsealing the stone shocked everyone, and the brick material turned out to be jade. "Qingqing, have you learned how to gamble on stones? You picked it so accurately today."

  "I didn't really study, just some superficial knowledge from books and the internet. I couldn't even tell you one, two, three, so today I just picked up two that looked okay to me, but I didn't expect my luck to be this good." Su Qing had long anticipated being asked this question.

  The two young men in the car both thought to themselves, "Is it possible that Su Qing really doesn't have any impressive stone-gambling techniques and is just being favored by Lady Luck?" Whether Su Qing's words were true or false was impossible to know, only time would tell. Song Jie asked again, "Will you gamble with stones again in the future?"

  "After this, I probably won't have such good luck again. I'll go back and study some more. Occasionally playing around a bit will still be okay." Su Qing said with a smile.

  Su Qing's performance made it impossible for the other two to judge. But since Su Qing said that she would gamble again, the truth will come out eventually. A person can be lucky once and succeed, but they can't always be lucky.

  They arrived at Su Qing's home, and the large and small square stones were placed in Su's garden. Song Jie and Du Xuan both bid farewell and left, returning home to report Su Qing's situation to their elders.

  In the garden, only Su Qing was left. She stared at the hehe silly smile on the stone she had bought for 200 yuan. Su Chen returned home after attending a club activity and saw that there were many more square stones in the garden. His sister Su Qing was sitting on one of them staring blankly at another one.

  "Suzhen, what are you staring at? What's the use of piling up so many stones? The shapes are uniform though." Suzhen said as she glanced at the stones on the ground, wondering if her sister had been watching them grow into flowers.

  "I didn't go to see the jade stones today, it was quite interesting, so I spent 400 yuan and bought two pieces." Su Qing spoke without even lifting her head, that piece of jade was really too beautiful, her eyes couldn't bear to leave.

  "With two hundred yuan for one piece, what good things can you get? It's a waste of money." Su Chen thought her sister was ignoring her because she didn't win the jade.

  "Brother, why don't you think of something good for once. I cut out a piece of jade and sold it, guess how much money." Su Qing was struck by her brother's words and came to her senses, why didn't he have faith in his own sister?

  "It's not like a blind cat would run into a dead mouse, if she sold it for tens of millions, she must have given some pocket money to her brother." Su Chen felt that Su Qing was just lucky.

  "Four hundred thousand." Su Chen saw Su Qing stretch out four fingers, and then shook her head "Can't be true, sold for forty million."

  "Brother, you're being too petty. Just add another zero and it's about right." Su Qing said with a pretentious sigh.

  "My god, over 40 million." Su Chen really hadn't expected it to be so much money.

  "Brother, you've always wanted to buy a sports car." Su Qing said with a smile, but Su Chen always felt that the brilliant smile hid a sinister plot.

  "How can you satisfy your brother's wish and help me buy one?" Su Chen asked softly.

  "Brother, help me wipe away the stones on the surface of this woolen fabric. After that, I'll give you 10 million, which should be enough, right?" Su Qing said as she took out a piece of sandpaper from behind her back. The six sides of the woolen fabric had all been cut, and the stone wrapped in jade outside was already very thin, making it easy to make mistakes with a grinding wheel.

  "This stone, how come it wasn't there to solve the problem? If they were all wiped out and no jade was left, I would have wasted my effort. How unjust." Su Chen knew that Su Qing must be helping with something, in his eyes, Su Qing looked like a fox.

  "There must be something valuable inside, it's a treasure. It's just that I'm afraid it's too eye-catching, so I didn't put it in the jade stone. You can rest assured." Inside is not only a treasure but also worth a city.

  "I'll just wipe this part, and I won't care about the rest." Su Chen was doing chores for Su Qing in order to get his beloved sports car.

  "They are all real stones. In order to cover up the one in your hand, I brought these back to pad the flower pot." Not only did it cover up one, but there is also another one in the space.

  Next, Su Chen took over the grinding stone with a sigh, while Su Qing thought about where to put those square stones, hoping they could still serve some purpose. If Du Xuan or Song Jie came to visit the Su family one day and didn't see these stones, it would be embarrassing.

  Almost an hour had passed when Su Chen suddenly shouted: "Qingqing, come and see what this is."

  Su Qing wasn't very surprised as she had already known the result. She walked into a small room where a piece of jade was being washed with clear water, revealing its surface. The blue color was as bright as a cloudless sky, but inside the jade, golden threads were flashing. Su Qing had heard of "golden silk red jade" before, and this piece in front of her could be called "golden silk blue jade". It was incredibly beautiful, even more so than a starry night sky.

  The brother and sister admired it for half a day, then started grinding the stone with high morale. Thinking of holding a whole piece of Jin Si Blue in their hands, how stunningly beautiful it would be.

  The brother and sister spent the rest of the day on this piece of jade, taking turns resting and grinding. By dusk, the true face of Lushan was fully revealed. Su Qing and her brother were also exhausted, their arms aching.

  In the evening, Su Qing's news of gambling for a stone, 450 million and that piece of golden silk blue jadeite, caused an earthquake in the Su family's quadrangle courtyard. Su Qing always exceeded expectations, this time really shocking everyone.

  Su Qing put the jade into her space and slept soundly that night. The news of Su Qing extracting a piece of top-quality jade from the brick material at Uncle Feng's warehouse in western Beijing also spread within the industry.

  If you think it's written well, give me a reward, don't forget to recommend and collect. Thanks to Kaixinbalao for sending me the sachet.
