Guo Xuyang saw that everyone had chosen their rough stones and bid farewell to Li Ziwen, "Mr. Li, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Li Ziwen replied, thinking to himself, "It's best if we never meet again."
Although these people hadn't cut the stones on the spot today, he knew that the stones should still be quite good. Otherwise, a few of them wouldn't have bought them directly. However, on second thought, as a business owner, these rough stones were brought here to be sold, and it didn't matter who they were sold to. Once he came to this realization, he felt no more dejected.
The group waited until Guo Xuyang came down before driving away.
"Should we go to my place? To see the condition of the stones?" Pi Xiaoqian asked.
"It's too late today. I won't be going. Of your four stones, only one has premium material. You should think about selling the other three when we get back," Guo Xuyang said.
"Ah? Brother, you should have said so earlier," Pi Xiaoqian cried out in dismay.
"There's material in all of them, but only one of them performed well. Otherwise, do you think you could have taken all four stones for just over two million? I have to say, there are really experts on their side," Guo Xuyang said.
"Is that so? As long as there's material, that's fine. I don't mind the trouble. Cutting them open and extracting it won't take much effort."
"If you say so, then it's up to you. It's your decision how to handle them."
"Brother, tell me more about what's inside?"
"One is high ice, one is glutinous jade, and two are bean green jade."
"Can you tell me which two are bean green jade? So I don't waste my effort."
"I'll tell you more when we get down later."
The several cars quickly arrived at Bai Huan Jiayuan. Guo Xuyang got out of the car and went to the back of everyone's cars, asking them to open their trunks. He pointed out the rough stones that could be cut, and the others could be dealt with as best as possible.
"Hey Yangzi, why didn't you say anything when we were at the shop?" Xiao Yun said.
"Xiao Xi was the first to arrive. When I started talking, she returned two stones and even got Li Ziwen to give us a discount of over 200,000. After that, could I dare to say more? Besides, your luck was really good; all of you had high ice material inside. Yangyang was the most incredible, choosing a glass jade. We should be content with what we have; we can't fleece people too severely, can we?" Guo Xuyang said.
"Are you saying we all made a profit, just different amounts?" Pi Xiaoqian asked.
"Yes. We shouldn't be too conspicuous, should we? Alright, hurry back to sleep. We have to get up early to help tomorrow." Guo Xuyang said, about to go upstairs.
"Hey, where are you going?" Li Minxi said.
"I'm going home," Guo Xuyang replied.
"Which home are you going to? The three of us are living upstairs perfectly fine, why are you going up?"
Well, three women are a show. There's no way he's going upstairs today.
"Then where am I supposed to stay? You're not going to make me stay at a hotel again, are you?"
"How about you guys squeeze in at the shop for the night? It's getting late now," Li Minxi suggested.
"Let Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu squeeze in with us."
At this point, Guo Xuyang felt too embarrassed to go upstairs.
"Alright. I'll squeeze in at Fatty's place. Let's go, I'll ride back with you." Guo Xuyang said to Pi Xiaoqian.
"It's getting late. Let's not sleep. Shall we go to the shop and play for a while?" Pi Xiaoqian said to Wu Youzhi and Cheng Xiuping.
"Okay. The four of us can play a round. What fun things do you have?" Wu Youzhi asked.
"Yes, we have everything. Poker, mahjong, pai gow, you name it. Two rounds should be about enough time before we need to help."
"Then shall we go to President Pi's place to play?" Wu Youzhi asked Cheng Xiuping.
"Okay. Let's go. You guys hurry up and go rest upstairs." Cheng Xiuping said to Li Minxi and the others before turning and getting into Wu Youzhi's car.
The four of them, in two cars, drove towards Panjiayuan.
"Brothers, should we play mahjong or pai gow?" Pi Xiaoqian asked as he opened the door.
"I don't mind, I'll play anything," Guo Xuyang replied.
"Let's play mahjong. Four rounds should be about enough time before we have to go help," Cheng Xiuping said.
"Okay, I have all these things. I used to like playing, so I'd call a few friends over for a couple of rounds. Now I don't have time; I have to be busy making money every day," Pi Xiaoqian said.
"You're showing off. Not everyone can be busy if they want to," Wu Youzhi teased.
"I finally understand what it means to be in pain but happy. My hands are numb from counting money every day, that's my current state. Hahaha."
"Having too much money isn't necessarily a good thing. By the way, brother Guo, did you ask about establishing the children's relief foundation?" Wu Youzhi asked.
"I asked. It must be managed by professional personnel, and I find it too troublesome. We're short-handed right now, where would we find so many people to deal with these matters? I did contact Lin Ziyang, and she suggested we affiliate with her Central Plains Children's Relief Foundation and transfer the money to them. We can invite them to participate in any activities," Guo Xuyang said.
"Wouldn't that mean we're paving the way for others? I don't think this is feasible," Wu Youzhi said.
"Exactly. If we do it ourselves, at least it would be our achievement. Our names would be there no matter when, and it would be our good deed. What's the point of transferring the money to them?" Pi Xiaoqian chimed in.
"We need to think about this matter. We'll discuss it later. Come on, let's start playing." Cheng Xiuping said.
After four rounds of cards, it was almost five o'clock. The four of them found a place to eat something simple and then rushed to Wu Bing's place downstairs to wait.
"Uncle, when will you arrive? I plan to set off at 6:36 to pick up the bride." Wu Bing's call came through.
"We're all waiting downstairs. It's just six o'clock now. I'll have President Pi and Brother Guo go upstairs to get the things. President Cheng and I will wait downstairs. How are the cars arranged?"
"We hired a wedding company directly; they'll arrive downstairs at 6:30."
"Alright. We'll wait downstairs. You guys get ready and come down," Wu Youzhi said, hanging up the phone.
"Brother Guo, could you and President Pi go upstairs to get the quilts later? Should you call Xiao Yun and the others and ask them to get ready in advance?"
"Okay, I'll call them now. Fatty, let's go upstairs." Guo Xuyang said as he walked, calling Xiao Yun.
"Are you up yet? Still not up? When are you planning to go to the Peace Hotel? We're all downstairs. You can see us from the balcony. Wu Bing just said the motorcade is preparing to pick up the bride at 6:36. Wake them up, get ready, and hurry over. Don't wait until the wedding cars arrive for you to show up."
"I'll wake them up now. We were chatting too late; we only fell asleep almost four in the morning."
"Hurry up, and make sure you all look beautiful, don't embarrass Wu Bing."
"Don't worry about that. We sisters can still present ourselves well."
Guo Xuyang hung up the phone and arrived at the elevator in the stairwell.
