Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The System Recognizes Jade
“I didn’t ask you! Brother Lin, what’s going on here?”
However, before Zhu Li could even relish the moment for a minute, Zhuang Yan’s calm voice rang out.
The words that followed instantly left Zhu Li dumbfounded.
‘Not talking to me? That “Brother” wasn’t referring to me?’
Not only was Zhu Li stunned, but everyone around, except for the security guards, was also momentarily speechless.
Could Chairman Zhuang be addressing that young man as “Brother”? How is that possible? The young man looks, at most, only seventeen or eighteen years old and is dressed in fairly inexpensive clothes.
How could someone like him know Chairman Zhuang?
Moreover, everyone present was sharp enough to make numerous speculations after Zhuang Yan’s single sentence.
The most prevalent speculation was that this tall, handsome young man might actually have a fortune far superior to Zhu Li’s.
If not, why would Zhuang Yan turn against Zhu Li, his business partner, because of him?
Although Zhuang Yan didn’t say much, just a simple “I didn’t ask you” in public was a severe blow to Zhu Li’s face in front of this upper circle in the little island (abbreviation for Qinhuangdao).
Didn’t you see Zhu Li’s chubby face turning the color of pig liver?
“Haha, it’s nothing, Brother Zhuang. My mom just remarked how these rough stones resembled the ones on the hills back home. This guy happened to walk by and called us ignorant, then said we were nobodies. I just wanted him to apologize.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lin Yi smiled at Zhuang Yan, then explained the incident simply and pulled the chubby guy’s hand with more strength, continuing to say with a smile:
“Still the same, I won’t make things difficult for you. Just apologize, and this matter will be over.”
As Lin Yi said, dealing with someone this foul-mouthed just requires teaching them a lesson. Lin Yi genuinely didn’t intend to make things too difficult, especially in front of his parents; he really didn’t want to cause trouble.
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhuang Yan said nothing, only looked at Zhu Li with a calm gaze.
However, without saying a word, it was more effective than any remark.
Seeing Zhuang Yan’s gaze, Zhu Li secretly bit his teeth, realizing he seemed to have hit a brick wall.
But there was no choice, the situation was stronger than him, even unwilling; he could only swallow his pride.
After all, Zhuang Yan’s influence was overwhelmingly strong, leaving Zhu Li with no defiant thoughts.
“I’m sorry, Chairman Zhuang, I didn’t know they were your guests, I–”
However, after finally taking a deep breath and saying this, Zhuang Yan waved his hand to interrupt:
“Haha, Lao Zhu, you’re mistaken. There’s no need to apologize to me for your issues, right?”
Zhu Li paused, clearly taken aback, then grasped the meaning behind Zhuang Yan’s words. It seemed he underestimated the relationship between Zhuang Yan and the other party.
There was nothing to do, Zhu Li reluctantly turned his chubby head, bowed slightly to Empress Dowager Ye on the side, and opened his mouth with an apologetic expression:
“I’m sorry, ma’am, I spoke without thinking earlier, please be generous and don’t hold it against me.”
To survive until now, Zhu Li naturally understood human interactions. Since he chose to concede, he had to apologize to the right person, and obviously, apologizing to this woman was the wisest course.
This also saved himself some dignity, sparing him from apologizing to an inexperienced kid.
Seeing the sincerity in the chubby guy’s actions, Lin Yi helplessly shook his head, simultaneously releasing the chubby guy’s hand, and sighed inwardly:
Alas, I’m still too weak now. If it weren’t for Zhuang Yan stepping in, solving this matter would not have been so easy.
This also indicates there’s still a long road ahead.
“Haha, let’s go Brother Lin, I haven’t started selling my rough stones yet, there are some good things inside. Come on, pick one first, consider it a gift from me!”
Seeing the matter concluded, Zhuang Yan smiled and invited Lin Yi and his family to the rough stone section.
As they passed by Zhu Li, he smiled, nodded at him, and asked, “Want to join?”
Giving some face to others ensures better meetings in the future. As a businessman, Zhuang Yan saw no need to truly offend Zhu Li, offering a gesture as an olive branch.
Sure enough, with Zhuang Yan’s words, Zhu Li’s previously flushed face eased slightly.
However, he still waved his hand with a smile:
“No, no, you take the young brother first. I’ll study it with Lao Wang later.”
Lin Yi didn’t mind seeing this scene, since it wasn’t such a big deal. An apology was made, and it was over. Naturally, he wasn’t dissatisfied with Zhuang Yan’s actions.
Watching Lin Yi’s expression peripherally, Zhuang Yan nodded to himself upon seeing that Lin Yi remained calm even while conversing with Zhu Li.
The conversation with Zhu Li was also a test of Lin Yi’s disposition, confirming his judgment was right.
Just this mindset makes future success inevitable!
“Haha, well, being in the world means being unable to help oneself. Don’t mind the earlier incident, Brother, as we all operate within the same circle, it’s not good to remain too estranged.”
Once away from the crowd, Zhuang Yan said this to Lin Yi with a smile, managing alliances on all sides.
Lin Yi simply smiled and waved it off, indicating that he didn’t care at all, then turned his attention to the rough stones in front of him.
Squatting down, he casually picked up a fist-sized black jadeite rough, instinctively muttering to himself:
“System, system, can this be decomposed and reconstructed?”
[After system detection, the decomposable item provided by the owner is a jadeite rough mined from the Hekka area in February 2021. It contains 15% glutinous jadeite molecules. The system can reconstruct and optimize it into 7.5% flawless ice jadeite molecules, or decompose and reconstruct it into 30% flawless glutinous jadeite molecules.]
Lin Yi originally asked subconsciously, only to find the system genuinely provided an answer and even analyzed the internal jadeite content!
Due to a lack of knowledge in jadeite, Lin Yi couldn’t understand the difference between ice-type and glutinous-type as stated by the system.
Just from the given numerical comparison, Lin Yi vaguely guessed that ice-type should be better than glutinous-type, as decomposing into ice-type only yielded half the original content…
