Unfortunately, no one around him considered himself more capable than Julian.
“Julian, don’t cut it anymore, just polish it! The raw material is too small!” Xue Tao spoke up, making the final decision.
Even though Julian was so angry he suffered internal injuries, he dared not refute him again.
"Yes." He obediently put down the document and picked up the special stone-cutting grinding wheel to rub it little by little.
Cutting stone is an extremely strenuous task, and most people can't do it. If you just use a saw, it's much easier; you can just split it open directly.
The most tiring part was scrubbing; you had to hold a grinding wheel and painstakingly remove the outer layer of stone from the rough stones, bit by bit. Who knows how thick that layer of waste stone was!
"Damn it, do you think my strength is worthless? You want me to scrub a piece of junk rock? I'll scrub it to death!" Julian cursed inwardly, but dared not stop his hands.
“Sasha…”
Stone chips flew everywhere.
Xue Tao and Li Yang stood a little further away, watching Julian exert himself.
Sasha...
continue.
"stop--"
Li Yang suddenly roared, startling everyone. What's wrong with him? Has he gone mad?
Little did he know that Li Yang had been watching the stone closely. Only he knew how deep the jade was, and he was afraid that Julian might accidentally scratch the jade, causing him to suffer a loss.
Julian was indeed up to no good. He kept rubbing one spot hard without looking or studying it at all.
If Li Yang doesn't keep an eye on things, he will really suffer a significant loss.
"What's wrong, Li Yang? Did you get cheated on?" Xue Tao asked in surprise.
"Really?" Zhao Lihua asked in surprise.
"You'll know once you see it." Li Yang walked towards Julian. Julian was so startled by Li Yang's loud shout that his hand went limp, and he almost dropped the grinding wheel on his foot.
"What, what do you want to do?" Julian roared angrily as he turned around and yelled at Li Yang. "Damn it, I'll just wipe it for you, why are you yelling like that? You hit my foot, can you afford to pay for it?"
Since returning from Pingzhou, Julian, the purchasing manager, has become taciturn and sensitive, often getting into arguments with others over a single word.
Li Yang smiled faintly and said, "They've all turned green, Minister You!"
"Huh? It seems real—"
"It's really green, it's green..."
The onlookers widened their eyes and shouted, and even Xie Zhao couldn't help but step forward, staring greedily with wide eyes.
That pale green is the most dazzling and captivating color in the world.
Rinse!
The stone dust was washed away, revealing a brilliant green, though only a corner of it, it was still enough to sin against the conscience.
Wow--
Zhao Lihua exclaimed and rushed over to hug him.
"Li Yang, I told you so! There really is jade, there really is!"
"Yes, you're right!" Li Yang also looked surprised, but his eyes remained dark and deep, revealing no color in them.
Xue Tao gave him a deep look, then turned back and smiled faintly, saying, "Very good. Minister You, continue wiping!"
Julian stared blankly at the stone in his hand. It had actually turned green! A brilliant green! He was immediately excited. He rinsed it with water, took a flashlight, and shone it on his eyes. The dazzling green was almost blinding.
"Wow—it's all green, imperial green of the glass type—Mr. Xue, it's top-grade jadeite! What a huge piece of top-grade jadeite!" Julian was so excited he looked a little silly. He had never seen such outstanding jadeite in his life.
Nowadays, raw jadeite is scarce, and it's difficult to even extract green from it, let alone top-grade jadeite with imperial green color, which is practically a legendary existence!
Xue Tao was also very excited. She rushed over without caring about her image. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, sparkling with a dazzling light that complemented the brilliant emerald light. At this moment, Xue Tao was indescribably beautiful.
Zhao Lihua and Wang Yunyi also joined in, their beautiful faces shining even brighter under the emerald light.
No wonder women love jewelry.
They are indeed complementary.
A top-quality jadeite the size of a fist has been produced. It is crystal clear, translucent, and transparent, radiating a dazzling green luster that dazzles everyone's eyes.
"Li Yang, are you selling this jade?" Xue Tao was the first to recover, staring greedily at Li Yang.
"Not for sale!" Li Yang rolled his eyes. Heh heh, I'm not short of money right now, why would I sell? Such top-quality jade is better enjoyed playing with!
"You really won't sell? I'll offer five million!" Xue Tao stretched out her long, slender, and fair fingers.
"Uh...that's a lot, how about fifty million?" Li Yang's eyes widened. This stone was really valuable, but it was better not to sell it for now. Jadeite was so scarce, it was a rare commodity, and the price would definitely rise again later.
"puff……"
Even Julian was furious; that bastard was asking for way too much.
"Li Yang, don't go too far!" Xie Zhao, who already harbored resentment towards him, said coldly.
"Whether it's excessive or not is up to my aunt! What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhao Lihua glared at Xie Zhao with her beautiful eyes and gave him a cold, sidelong glance!
