So Pure, So Flirtatious
Page 132Chapter 132: Running Into the Nemesis
Yang Ming roughly scanned the bag in front of his eyes. He found that the imperial jade was still in there. Moreover, the seal was left untouched. He could finally rest assured. Currently, some courier companies weren’t reliable. Cases of theft of client’s goods had happened. However, for this bag of stones, it would be no use for them to steal it without Yang Ming’s ability.
After the bag of rocks was brought up, Zhang Jiefang went to find two workers who specialized in polishing the raw stones.
“I will also polish some myself!” Yang Ming laughed.
“Of course, you should. That’s where the fun is!” Zhang Jiefang asked the workers to give Yang Ming a set of tools.
At this time, the bag of rocks was poured out. Yang Ming pretended to be casual as he picked up the piece with imperial jade in it.
“Let me help you.” Zhang Bing picked up a stone in his hand since he had nothing to do.
Zhang Jiefang happily laughed as he sat on a chair nearby. He spoke to the two of them, “Zhang Bing, you don’t know how to drive yet. After two days, go to a driving school and start learning.”
“Dad, wouldn’t it be enough if you just taught me? There’s no need to go to a driving school!” Zhang Bing asked.
“Hmph, I am quite busy. Where would I find the time to teach you?” Also, I do not have a technical education, and I didn’t learn it through the system. I can drive a car with automatic transmission, but I can’t help you with a car that’s manual. How could I teach you?” Zhang Jiefang rejected it straight away. “Also, going to driving school will be great. Yang Ming will accompany you.”
“Alright, after I finish learning, will you buy me a car?” Zhang Bing nodded.
“If you get your license, I will bring you to buy a car.” Zhang Jiefang didn’t brush the matter off. He was determined to buy a car for Zhang Bing anyway.
“Tomorrow? Should be alright.” Yang Ming considered it. I will eventually buy a car. Hence, why don’t I get the driver’s license together with Zhang Bing?
“Yang Ming, in your hands…” Zhang Jiefang saw the piece that Yang Ming had been grinding by chance. “Imperial jade! Yang Ming, you actually got yourself another imperial jade?”
“Ah? Is this imperial jade?” Yang Ming pretended like he didn’t know. He acted surprised and dropped the sandpaper on the ground.
“Imperial jade! It has better quality than the previous one!” Zhang Jiefang opened his eyes widely and said with his mouth wide open.
“Damn, bro! Are you for real?” Zhang Bing was caught by surprise. “Did you get a ring that increased your luck? How could you be so lucky?”
“How would I know?” Yang Ming smiled innocently. “There’s unexpectedly such a good thing!”
Zhang Jiefang took the imperial jade in Yang Ming’s hand and examined it. He said, “With my preliminary analysis, the price of this imperial jade will be about two million. That has a higher price than the previous one.”
In fact, Yang Ming had a rough number in his mind, so he wasn’t surprised. However, he still needed to act it out. So, he said, feigning surprise, “Really. I can’t imagine myself getting something after such an unfortunate incident. With this, the imperial jade before isn’t a big deal anymore.”
“You may say so. But, Uncle Zhang will compensate you for the imperial jade you lost.” Zhang Jiefang said.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly. The conversation ended up on the same note. The reason Yang Ming said it was to comfort Zhang Jiefang. It was unexpected that Zhang Jiefang pointed out the problem again.
This time, Zhang Jiefang was extra careful. He knew there was an imperial jade in Yang Ming’s hand. Then, he quickly took out a safety box and put it inside. Later, he drove his car to take Yang Ming and Zhang Bing to the bank vault. Then, he followed the procedure to deposit it.
The other stones in the bag were readily cleared out. There were no other imperial jades discovered. However, there wasn’t a shortage of good jadeites. Zhang Jiefang was surprised by the situation. They went rock gambling together and handpicked them at the same site. Yang Ming’s bag of raw stones was much more valuable compared to all of his gemstones. Zhang Jiefang estimated the price of those gemstones. It was approximately three hundred thousand yuan. If they were crafted into artistic objects or accessories, their worth would go higher.
All of it needed to be counted together to have such a value. They weren’t worth much separately. Hence, he deposited everything else into the vault as well. Zhang Jiefang wasn’t as interested in jewelry. But, he saw that Yang Ming’s ten thousand suddenly turn into two million three hundred thousand. He was shocked by the explosive profit of this industry!
Compared to Yang Ming’s stones, Zhang Jiefang was more delighted to see the state of his son right now. In order to manage this business well, it was important to be interested in it.
As they exited Zhang Jiefang’s company, Yang Ming’s wealth rose up to two million in the blink of an eye. However, it was considered fixed assets and hadn’t turned into money yet, so Yang Ming was still a poor guy.
After he bid farewell to Zhang Bing, Yang Ming got into a taxi and arrived at Lan Ling’s place. Since he didn’t have the keycard, Yang Ming told the security guard he was looking for Liu Weishan. After verification, Yang Ming entered the district.
This level of security reassured Yang Ming. Right now, society was more complicated. Lan Ling was just a girl living alone. It was tough to ensure that there wouldn’t be any people stalking her. With the tight security of this area, Yang Ming wasn’t worried that Lan Ling would meet a bad guy.
Yang Ming was brooding on the voodoo issue. From the romantic perspective, he liked Lan Ling, this little girl. Most men had some elements of lolicon and sis-con. He had a girlfriend of the same age already. Deep down his heart, he still wanted to meet another woman who was younger or more mature.
Yang Ming was a person like this. Ever since Su Ya left, Yang Ming had a new perspective on romantic relationships. If he liked and enjoyed it, other people’s opinion didn’t matter!
In other words, Wu Chiren and Zhou Jiajia turned Yang Ming into an unconventional person in relationships. He wasn’t ashamed to have multiple girlfriends. That would be his capability. It was useless for them to be jealous!
Of course, that was in his imagination. Yang Ming wasn’t impressed by average girls. Yang Ming felt that his affections toward Lan Ling were completely sincere. However, he didn’t want to be tied down by her. He wasn’t comfortable with the voodoo.
As he thought about it, Yang Ming heard a familiar voice!
At this time, Yang Ming was standing next to the entrance of the residential area’s parking lot. Since there was a wall between them, Yang Ming couldn’t see the person there. With Yang Ming’s extraordinary ability, however, he could easily see what was behind the wall.
On the other side, Wang Zhitao was talking with a frowned expression to a prestigious-looking, square-faced, middle-aged man.
“It should be alright. Professor Li was your mother’s and my teacher. Also, he looked at your previous exam records. You could say that you were off your game for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination.” The middle-aged man said, “Professor Li is respected here. Even though your score was low, he could set you up in the joint xx university to study.”
“But, the university XX graduation certificate is different from the typical one!” Wang Zhitao wasn’t looking forward to it.
“Be content with what you have. You only scored 200 points. University XX has a minimum requirement of 350 points!” The middle-aged man said, “If Professor Li didn’t vouch for you, I don’t think you can enter into University XX! Your father may be influential in business, but I can’t do much in university enrollment! Also, your score is too low. Even the insider minimum requirement wasn’t met. This result is considered acceptable! Also, don’t you need to take over my business after graduation? Just learn something in the university. After you graduate, you will be the general manager of the company. Who would look at your education background?”
After Wang Zhitao heard it, he gave off a smile. He agreed with what his father said. He would inherit his family business, and his educational background didn’t matter!
“After you enroll into the university, try not to make a big fuss. You should learn from your lesson this time. Don’t act rashly. Every matter needs to be strategized before you take action. For example, if you wanted to bully your classmate, you should come up with a flawless plan. Look at the shoddy idea you came up with that stupid Zhang Biao. It caused a lot of trouble and affected your National Higher Education Entrance Examination!” The middle-aged man shook his head. “In the future, you should manage your business in that manner. Either you stay hidden or make sure you make a fatal hit!”
Their conversation was heard clearly by Yang Ming. Damn, Wang Zhitao’s father is far more sinister. It seems I need to be wary in the future.
When Yang Ming decided to leave, he noticed a Mercedes-Benz sedan. Coincidentally, it belonged to the house of Wang Zhitao! Yang Ming recognized it because Zhang Biao drove this car to fetch Wang Zhitao a few times. The car plate number was easily recognizable – the last few digits were 888.
Hehe, don’t you wish to frame me? Let me give both of you a great time! Yang Ming laughed in a mischievous manner as he made up his mind.
