Zhang Yanbin smiled and said: "Xiao Wen, in that case, please transfer this piece of material to me. I will pay 760,000, what do you think?" Before Wen Yuting could speak, she heard a sudden voice from the side. He said: "Xiao Zhang, how can you monopolize such good materials? No, as the saying goes, we share blessings together, share difficulties, and share half when we meet!" Everyone looked back and saw that it was Hou Yuanming, and Chu Chen spoke. Asked: "Brother Hou, have all your materials been released?" Hou Yuanming waved his hand and said: "How can it be so fast? I'm asking the workers to help me untie it now. Anyway, it's not a good material. If it hadn't been just now It happened to be a piece of dry green seed. I have been here for a long time." "Congratulations!" I heard that Hou Yuanming's bet went up, and everyone congratulated him. Hou Yuanming waved his hand and said: "I just made tens of thousands of yuan, which is just a small increase. How can it not compare with Xiaowen's piece of ice? It's rare to see such good fortune and longevity. "Xiao Zhang, how about you give me half of it?" Zhang Yanbin didn't shirk, and said with a smile: "Okay, but Brother Hou, you have to give me some compensation, I don't want more, you take it. Just give me one of the glass pendants that Xiaochu gave me! I'll make up for the lack of money." Hou Yuanming smiled and said, "You're really not the one who suffers, so just give me one!" It¡¯s not a loss, after all, although this half is small, it can be used as more than just a pendant. However, Chu Chen¡¯s words made the two people¡¯s plans come to nothing. "You two may have made a mistake. Let's take a closer look. What does this piece of material look like?" He opened his mouth and said, "Does this thing look like a person? Ah! I know, this shape seems to be that of a birthday boy!" Chu Chen nodded approvingly, and the others were reminded by Chu Yulan, and they all suddenly realized, and the more they looked, the more they looked like each other. . "Hey, it's true, but what if he looks like a birthday girl?" Wen Yuting asked curiously. Li Guodong smiled and replied: "In this way, this piece of material is more suitable for making a longevity star ornament." Chu Chen nodded and said: "Brother Li is right, this piece of material is more suitable for carving into a longevity star ornament than for making jewelry. , In this way, the utilization rate of jade materials is also higher. " From jadeite rough to finished products, some jade materials are always lost during production, and bracelets consume the most materials, so for the same quality of jadeite finished products, bracelets are more expensive than pendants. It is several times more expensive, followed by pendants and jewelry, and ornaments are generally not carved with good jade materials, which would waste too much jade material and is not cost-effective. And this jade material of good fortune, prosperity and longevity happens to be like a longevity star. When carving, it is undoubtedly more material-saving than making pendants, so if it is divided into two parts, it will be a waste of natural resources. When Hou Yuanming and Zhang Yanbin learned about this situation, they were quite helpless. Both of them were very fond of the ice material of Fu Lu Shou, but there was only one piece of material, and because of the reasons mentioned above, they could not be separated. What if they bid? , maybe it will hurt the harmony. Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the two people's faces, Chu Chen suddenly thought of an idea and said with a smile: "Two eldest brothers, if you believe me, give me this piece of material. In the future, you can gamble on jade like this or of similar value." , I will give it to you first, what do you think? " Zhang Yanbin and Chu Chen have not known each other for long. Normally, they would hesitate, but thinking that Chu Chen has already gambled three pieces of glass, and He had just heard that Chu Chen had suggested that they buy this piece of wool, so he readily agreed. And Hou Yuanming had no objection. Originally, one of the purposes of his coming to Tengchong was to deepen his relationship with Chu Chen. Even if Chu Chen didn't have to promise, he would agree. Seeing that the two agreed, Chu Chen smiled and said to Li Guodong and the others: "Brother Li, Xiaowen, eight hundred thousand, pass this piece of material to me, what do you think?" "Ah! Why is it eight hundred thousand? It wasn't just now Seven hundred and sixty thousand? Brother Chu, you gave me too much!" Wen Yuting said in surprise before Li Guodong opened his mouth. Chu Chen smiled: "How come there are so many? This piece of material is carved into a longevity star. The jade saved must be worth 40,000. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Hou and the others." Although they saw Hou Yuanming and the others nodding, Li Guodong still He shook his head and refused: "Xiao Chen, this is not okay. You helped us look at this piece of material. Why" Chu Chen interrupted him and said, "Okay, Brother Li, I understand what you mean. Although I made some suggestions, the decision was still made by you, so you deserve the money. And let me tell you, ?In fact, I also bought this piece of material for Xiaolan's uncle. He is a real rich man, so this little money is nothing to him. " Chu Chen indeed prepared this piece of jade material for Zhao Qirui. Zhao Qirui had asked him to find him a good piece of jadeite material before in the capital, and this piece of good fortune, wealth and longevity is undoubtedly the most suitable. "Xiao Wen, my uncle really doesn't want it. You will be short of this little money, so just agree. "Chu Yulan also advised them. Seeing this situation, Li Guodong and Wen Yuting had no choice but to accept it. After that, when they saw enough time, Chu Chen took them to the bank to transfer money. Hou Yuanming and Zhang Yanbin went to see Liu Zhiqing explained that after the transaction was completed, Li Guodong and Wen Yuting's faces were full of joy, and Li Guodong was even more excited. With these 400,000 yuan, he could buy a house in the capital. This was because he was with Wen Yuting. He took a solid step. Next, he just had to concentrate on his career. Originally, Wen Yuting wanted to give Li Guodong her 300,000 yuan as his entrepreneurial fund, but Li Guodong refused to take it. It means that if you accept the 300,000 yuan now, you will probably be looked down upon by Wen Yuting's parents, and Wen Yuting said that if you don't accept the money, you don't love her, so the two started to argue. Originally, Chu Chen wanted to. She tried to persuade the two of them, but was stopped by Chu Yulan. She smiled and said, "It's okay. The two of us have been like this several times before. Yu Ting is a bitch-tongued, but after a while, Brother Li can coax her and she will be fine." , and it¡¯s normal for couples to bicker. " "oh? I don¡¯t know about this, but Xiaolan, do you have experience in this area? "Chu Chen made a small joke. Chu Yulan rolled her eyes at him and said: "I have never had a boyfriend. I have liked someone before, but I was too cold to others, so I didn't express my feelings. It just broke. Chu Chen felt aggrieved for her and said, "That's because that person has no discernment. You are called tranquility, not indifference. He doesn't even look down on a girl like you, Xiaolan, who is beautiful and has a good temperament. I don't think he has eyes." No, there's just something wrong with the aesthetics. " Girls are always happy when they are praised for their beauty. Chu Yulan smiled and said: "Hehe, thank you Brother Chu for the compliment. You talked about me. What about you? " Chu Chen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Me, I have a girl with whom I have a relatively good relationship, but I don't know if she is a girlfriend, so I still take this aspect into consideration. " Chu Yulan asked curiously: "What, Brother Chu, have you been hurt in this area before? " Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I couldn't support myself before, how could I have a girlfriend? " Chu Yulan became even more curious: "What's going on? Isn't it convenient for me to talk to you? "Chu Chen smiled and said: "This is not inconvenient. Xiaolan, you have also heard that I was abducted and trafficked when I was a child, right? You may not know the anger you feel when someone calls you a wild child, and the despair you feel when you know that the person you love is not your biological father. For a while, my whole body felt like I was on a cold winter night, being eaten by the snow and wind. " "Later, although with the help of my father, I got out of that state, but at that time I always had a hostile attitude towards others. I'm not afraid of your jokes. It took me several years to realize family and friendship after arriving in the capital. As for the relationship between men and women, I still don¡¯t know how to accept it, let alone deal with it. " Chu Yulan's expression was sad when she listened to Chu Chen's story, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. Chu Chen's experience was so similar to her own. The difference was that she was abandoned by her parents because she favored sons over daughters. Back then, she She is dark and thin. She was always bullied by others in the orphanage and did not feel any warmth from her family. It was not until she was adopted by her current parents that her situation improved. The person in front of her was probably her father. As a kid who was abducted, should I tell my parents about it? But if it is true, will I no longer be valued by my parents, and will I not be valued again? The warmth of the family? This is not the result I want! "Xiaolan, Xiaolan! What's wrong with you? " Thinking of this, Chu Yulan suddenly heard a voice calling her in her ears. She quickly reacted and said: "Brother Chu, it's nothing. I just heard what you said and thought of some bad things in the past. " "oh! " Chu Chen scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this. " Chu Yulan waved her hands repeatedly and said: "This is none of your business. I am honored to hear your inner thoughts, Brother Chu. " Chu Chen smiled and nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart. Why did he say this today? Is it because of the relationship with Xiao???When we are together, we feel like we are part of the family and feel a little relaxed? ?Then why do you feel this way? Do you like Xiaolan? This shouldn't be the case. Although I can't explain the emotional matters, at least I don't have the same feeling as I do with Xiao Ke when I'm with Xiaolan. After thinking for a while, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he put the issue aside.
