3199 No One Will Steam Them!
Leng Changyuan was unaware of the stone-gambling event, because he paid no attention to that.
“Yeah, I bought some,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Can you cut jade from them?” asked Leng Changyuan. Because Leng Xiaoyao had already cut out two pieces of jade before, Leng Changyuan was full of anticipation this time.
“Would you believe me if I said yes?” Leng Xiaoyao put on a mysterious smile.
Leng Changyuan was surprised. Although he didn’t think it was likely, he believed in Leng Xiaoyao.
“Of course!” Leng Changyuan asked, “What do you want to do with so many raw jade materials? Cut them open and sell the jade?”
“Yes.” Leng Xiaoyao answered because she hadn’t told Leng Changyuan that she was going to establish a jewelry company yet. Before it was done, she wouldn’t tell her family in case they were worried.
After she cut out jade and made money in the industry, her family wouldn’t be worried and would instead support her.
“How many did you buy?” asked Leng Changyuan.
“Several dozen,” Leng Xiaoyao replied. To be honest, she didn’t know how many she had bought. She guessed there should be about fifty raw jade materials.
Some raw jade materials were large and could reach tens of kilograms. Small ones could be several kilograms. Therefore, about fifty raw jade materials accounted for two-thirds of the two small trucks.
Leng Changyuan couldn’t help but wonder how much money they could make after cutting out jade from half of the raw jade materials.
“How likely are you to cut jade from them?” asked Leng Changyuan curiously.
“About half of them have jade,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She didn’t mean to fool Leng Changyuan, but it would be hard to explain if she told him that there was jade in every one of them. After all, most of them were complete raw jade materials.
It was already a lot if there was jade in half of them, so Leng Changyuan was amazed.
“Well, keep it between us. It’s fine if your third uncle knows, but don’t tell other people. If your second uncle asks you about them, you can say that your friends are storing them in our house for a while. I don’t trust them, especially your second aunt. Even if they don’t want your jade, they might be jealous of you and destroy your business,” Leng Changyuan said. He was afraid that that might happen.
“Sure, I know.” Leng Xiaoyao answered. Although she wasn’t worried, she would listen to Leng Changyuan in case any accidents happened.
At about 6 pm, Leng Yecheng got back and immediately called Leng Xiaoyao out. He asked her about the stone-gambling event, because she had told him what she was going to do.
Leng Xiaoyao said that she bought about fifty raw jade materials and that they would be delivered at about 8 pm.
That was the information Mu Yuan gave Li Mochen which Li Mochen then shared with Leng Xiaoyao.
Meng Fan and Mu Yuan drove the car in turns. When one was driving, the other would have a rest. Therefore, they didn’t waste any time on the road other than for eating and going to the toilet.
“How likely are you to cut jade from them?” asked Leng Yecheng. He had no intention of stealing Leng Xiaoyao’s jade, but he was curious. Because Leng Xiaoyao had successfully cut out jade last time, he knew that she was good at stone-gambling.
“At least half of them have jade,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She didn’t tell Leng Yecheng the truth either.
“If so, you can make a fortune.” Leng Yecheng took a deep breath. He felt that it was enough to cut out jade from half of those raw jade materials. After all, it wasn’t easy for other people to cut out one or two pieces of jade. Betting on stones had a much lower winning rate than normal gambling.
Leng Yecheng wasn’t talking about Leng Yehua because Leng Yehua had principles and wouldn’t do something like stealing.
However, Song Meiyu and her daughter had no principle at all.
“Sure. Grandpa just reminded me to say that they are my friend’s,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Great.” Leng Yecheng nodded. Then he said, “Let’s go inside!”
Afterwards, Leng Xiaoyao and Leng Yecheng went inside.
After dinner, Leng Xiaoyao went to clean up in the storage room. She didn’t go to school for the evening class that night. She would go tomorrow.
Leng Changyuan could order servants to do it for Leng Xiaoyao and she could rest, but Leng Xiaoyao rejected it.
She said that only she knew how to place those raw jade materials, so Leng Changyuan asked the servants to help her instead.
“Why do you want to clean up the storage room?” asked Song Meiyu curiously.
However, no one answered. Song Meiyu didn’t feel embarrassed, but she was a little displeased.
She was full of curiosity, so she decided to have a look by herself since none of them answered her question.
Leng Xiaoyao looked at a few storage rooms and chose the smallest one. She moved stuff out of the smallest storage room and placed it in another room.
Because there wasn’t much stuff in it, they quickly moved it away. After that, they mopped the floor.
A lock was also needed.
In order to stop other people from getting inside, Leng Xiaoyao went to buy a new lock after putting those raw jade materials in order.
Seeing that, Song Meiyu mocked. “Oh, did you put gold or silver in it? Why did you go to buy a new lock? No one will steal it!”
“You might!” Leng Xiaoyao said straightforwardly.
“Ha-ha, ha-ha.”
Leng Yecheng snorted with laughter. He didn’t expect Leng Xiaoyao to be so straightforward.
However, he didn’t think she was wrong. After all, Leng Xiaoyao was very straightforward and honest.
Leng Changyuan also wanted to laugh, but he restricted himself.
“You…” Song Meiyu was mad and questioned Leng Xiaoyao in anger. “Leng Xiaoyao, what do you mean? You humiliated me!”
“Aunt, I’m sorry, but I’m simply telling the truth,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“You…” Song Meiyu was furious.
“Oh, it’s not my stuff, it’s Mr. Li’s. You saw him at the Mo family’s birthday party not long ago. His two subordinates will move the stuff in later. Since I promised to help him store the stuff, neither the Leng family nor I can bear the result if it’s lost,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Then she returned to the underground floor and left Song Meiyu behind.
