Chapter 14 Buying Rough Stones
Although the old man's words are indeed not very pleasant to listen to, they are talking about an unavoidable fact. No matter how many ways you can find the jadeite from the original stone, as long as you can't buy the original stone, your work will be in vain. In this case, you still need to make a capital investment before you can go to Jade Street.
I lost Fu Wenyan's window the day before yesterday, and had a big meal with Gang Bian and the others yesterday. I only have a few hundred yuan left with me. I'm afraid I can only buy some scraps of rough stones. If I want to buy the good quality that the old man said, You can only find someone to borrow some rough stones first! Who can I borrow it from?
Frowning, Meng Yu took out his cell phone and lightly ran his fingers through the string of phone numbers.
As a newly graduated college student, Meng Yu’s only connections are his classmates from his previous school. Birds of a feather flock together, Meng Yu is just a child from an ordinary family, and the friends he associates with are naturally not the rich second generation. As a recent graduate, he basically has no money, and he should not be able to borrow money.
After staring at the screen and hesitating again and again, Meng Yu's finger sliding across the screen finally stopped at his father's mobile phone number.
During the four years of college, because of a quarrel with my parents, I didn't ask for money from my family for two years. Even when I went home during the Chinese New Year, I didn't want to talk to my second elder. Meng Yu originally thought that he was completely independent, but he didn't expect that he would still have to rely on his parents' help at critical moments.
After rubbing his thumb on the screen for a long time, Mengyu finally sighed deeply and clicked on the dial key.
The "beep" tone only rang twice, and the broadcast call was picked up.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Listening to the familiar but much older voice on the other end of the phone, Meng Yu thought of that increasingly wrinkled face, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"If you have something to say, if nothing happens, I'll hang up!"
Meng Yu pursed his lips, opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but did not say the words he had prepared.
"It's okay, I just wanted to ask how are you two doing?"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, as if he was a little surprised by Meng Yu's concern.
"It's good. We can eat and drink. You just need to take care of yourself."
The voice on the other end of the phone was still serious, but for some reason Meng Yu felt that his father's mood on the other end of the phone seemed to be much happier.
Feeling the change in his father's mood, Meng Yu lowered his head and felt a sense of self-blame in his heart.
"Dad, my son has found a 'job'. Let's go back..."
I originally wanted to tell my father some good news, but before I could finish speaking, I heard the urging voice of my father’s colleague on the other end of the phone.
"Let's talk later, I have a meeting here."
"Okay, I'll call you later."
Meng Yu nodded, and as soon as he finished saying his promise, the phone call was hung up.
Meng Yu stared at the phone screen with a somewhat disappointed expression for a long time. When he looked up, he realized that the little girl was looking at him with envious eyes.
Meng Yu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, looked at the little girl with a slightly gloomy expression and said:
"I'm too embarrassed to speak."
The little girl lowered her eyes to collect her emotions and asked:
"What should we do now? Didn't you say you can't do it without money?"
Meng Yu leaned back against a tree on the side of the road, and was about to think of other solutions, when a notification tone suddenly came from WeChat.
I clicked on my phone in confusion, and what I saw was the transfer information from my father and two WeChat messages.
[Be careful when you are away. If you don’t have enough money, tell your family. Big cities are not as good as here at home. Save your money. ]
[Come back in two days. Your mother misses you very much. ]
Meng Yu looked at the news about his father with surprise and surprise. His heart felt warm and his nose felt sore.
Zhizi is like a father, but his thoughts were still seen through the screen by the middle-aged man who had raised him for twenty years.
But when did my father, who was a sharp-tongued man and a cruel man, start playing the emotional card?
Pressing the moist corners of his eyes with his hand, Mengyu spat at the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone through the screen, and sent him the words "I know". After a moment of hesitation, he accepted the transfer of five thousand yuan below.
After sniffing, Meng Yu raised his head again. Instead of meeting a pair of envious eyes, he saw a lonely figure squatting on the roadside.
Of course, Meng Yu understood the reason for the little girl's depressed expression. When she was replying to her father's WeChat message just now, she was watching in front of him!
After looking down at the genetic simulator in his hand and thinking for a moment, Mengyu walked forward and squatted in front of her, touched her head and comforted her:
"How about I help you find your family after I've been busy these two days?"
The little girl raised her head and looked into Meng Yu's eyes, her eyes regaining some of their energy.
"Really? But... you can't find it!"
"You forgot, big brother, I have super powers. Didn't I help Xiao Tao find his mother last time!"
Recalling the experience of finding Xiao Tao's mother, the little girl's eyes gradually began to glow with hope, and she nodded obediently to Meng Yu.
Meng Yu smiled, pinched her little nose, and helped her put on the Iron Man mask. The two of them picked up a burst of fallen leaves and disappeared into the distance.
……
……
Meng Yu went to college in this city for four years and had walked through almost all the boundaries in this city, so it didn't take much effort to find the jade street.
The so-called Jade Street, as the name suggests, the shops in the street sell all kinds of jade.
From turquoise with a long history, to Hetian jade with a strong cultural atmosphere, to jade that is sought after by thousands of people, you can find exclusive shops here.
Meng Yu and the little girl walked up and down the street. After a while, they stopped at the door of a jade store. After looking inside the house for a few times, Meng Yu and the little girl walked in.
"anyone there?"
There was no one at the front desk of the jade shop when he walked in. Meng Yu looked around and shouted.
In the corner, a rustling sound came from behind a gray-brown stone that was as tall as one person. A middle-aged man with a shiny face, nine out of ten fingers with jade thumb rings, and a general's belly pushed aside a crowd of people beside him. Qingye, who had blocked his view, walked out from behind the gray-brown stone.
The man turned off the special flashlight in his hand, squinted his small eyes sunk in fat, looked at Meng Yu, and then asked in a cold tone:
"Little brother, are you here to buy stones?"
Meng Yu nodded and wanted to say something else, but without saying anything, the man reached out and pointed at a small display case in the corner, then turned around and walked towards the gray-brown stone again.
"There are some small items in that cabinet. If you like anything, just call me."
The man's frivolous attitude made Meng Yu once again feel the full malice coming from the word "pingqiong".
Frowning and looking at his clothes, Meng Yu knew that he was being looked down upon again.
The small showcase in the corner was filled with some extremely small jade ornaments, the prices of which hardly exceeded ten thousand. I was regarded as a stupid boy who came to the jade shop to buy gifts for his girlfriend without knowing the world.
Being judged by their appearance repeatedly, Meng Yu's mood was pushed to the extreme. Together with the unhappiness caused by the old man before, it was piled up in his chest. He needed to vent it out, but he couldn't treat this damn fat man the same way he treated those three gangsters. .
Resisting the urge to "transform" into Captain America and "punish evil and promote good", Meng Yu looked at the gray-brown stone that the other party was shining on with a special flashlight, and a smirk slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought Ways to vent your anger.
For these profit-seeking businessmen, losing money is the biggest punishment for them.
Letting the other party watch helplessly as he takes away the jade he picked out through stone gambling is a kind of financial ruin. Meng Yu has already imagined the pain of this fat pig, hehe... That is definitely better than beating him up. It’s a scene that makes me want to relieve my anger. .
While thinking about it, Meng Yu couldn't help but giggle in a daze, almost drooling.
The little girl on the side took two steps back with a look of disgust, fearing that his saliva would harm Chi Yu.
"Fuck~"
He quickly sucked in the saliva before it dripped down. Meng Yu came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and walked towards the fat boss.
"Boss, are you busy?"
He interrupted the fat boss who was touching stones, and the other party turned his gaze and glanced at him.
"Have you chosen? There are prices on them. We won't bargain here. Just go to the front desk to find the QR code and scan it."
Meng Yu still looked like he didn't take Meng Yu seriously. Meng Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and thought, "I'll pick out all the jade slag for you in a minute." He still had a smile on his face and said:
"Boss, we are not here to buy jade."
The fat boss looked at him in confusion upon hearing this.
"Aren't you just here to buy rocks?"
Meng Yu pointed at the gray-brown stone in front of the two of them and said with a smile:
"I came here to buy stones, but I bought this kind of rough jadeite."
The fat boss stopped what he was doing when he heard this, looked at him with surprise, patted the stone, and said disdainfully:
"This is indeed a rough jade stone, but I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"Of course, I am self-aware. What I mean is, since the boss has a big one... then there must be a small one!"
Meng Yu still kept a smile on his face, taking the cheekiness he had developed while working as a waiter to the extreme.
The fat boss stared at him for a while after hearing this, and finally sneered and continued:
"Ha~ OK, since you want to buy it, I'll show you around. Come with me!"
The fat boss said, leading the two of them to the small courtyard of the store.
