Faced with such a rare opportunity, Shang Baochang was calculating his own plans in his mind, trying to gain benefits from Zhou Qi, even resorting to some tricks.

However, the person he met was Zhou Qi, a man who had long been accustomed to the ups and downs in the business world and naturally understood Shang Baochang's thoughts at a glance.

Zhou Qi was very disappointed about this. After all, he had helped Shang Baochang twice, but he didn't expect that the other party was still plotting behind his back.

In order to avoid making the situation too awkward, Zhou Qi cleverly turned the topic to Du Bowen, expressing his willingness to donate his shares to Du Bowen and entrust him to handle the insurance and transportation of the raw stones, thus avoiding Shang Baochang's calculations.

Du Bowen understood what Zhou Qi meant and agreed to hold these shares on behalf of Zhou Qi. He also reminded Shang Baochang in due time that Zhou Qi was not an easy person to deal with. He had brought down the Huaning Group and forced Xilin Gong to officially admit defeat at an astonishing speed. Even he himself could not compare to him.

Du Bowen was disappointed with Shang Baochang's character. He thought that Shang Baochang was not only ungrateful for Zhou Qi's help, but was also defensive against him everywhere.

In the end, Du Bowen decided to keep his distance from Shang Baochang, and was glad that he had not asked this man for help for many years to avoid being implicated.

After saying these words, Du Bowen left the scene, leaving Shang Baochang shouting behind him, but no one paid any attention to him.

Du Bowen did not stop or look back.

Shang Zizhe muttered to the side: "Dad, forget about cooperation. He has nothing to be so arrogant about. We defeated Liu Zhaoqing and took over his company. This business has already made a lot of money.

The verbal agreement is not written down on paper, so we don’t have to give anything.”

Snapped!

Shang Baochang slapped his son in the face and roared, "What are you talking about? If you hadn't made trouble again and again, would it have turned out like this?"

He slapped himself again and blamed himself:

"What are you talking about? How can I live like a human being? Now, I got nothing, and I have to lose 30% of the company's shares. My friendship with Uncle Du for many years is also ruined."

Shang Zizhe covered his burning cheeks and thought to himself:

You said it, why are you blaming me now? But he didn't dare to say it out loud, and could only mutter in a low voice:

"Dad, you and Uncle Du have been at odds for a long time. Just explain it to me."

Shang Baochang sighed, "It's too late. Du Bowen's meaning is already very clear. Even if I explain, the knot in my heart can't be untied, and I can't go back to the past."

At this moment, Shang Baochang truly regretted his decision. If he had known this would happen, he would have asked directly about the materials, even if it would have saved him some face.

Now he tried to be clever, but was exposed on the spot. He really deserved it.

On the other side, Zhou Qi was applying for insurance for the top-quality imperial green jade.

The rough stones at the public auction usually come with an insurance service, because some of the rough stones weigh hundreds of kilograms and need to be moved mechanically, so safety measures are involved in transportation and storage.

In simple terms, it means insuring the rough stone. If any problem occurs, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation.

However, Zhou Qi's raw stone produced top-quality materials that far exceeded his expectations, and the value far exceeded the original insurance limit, so the insurance coverage had to be increased.

After the quality of the materials was confirmed by professional appraisers, Zhou Qi set an insurance coverage of 1 billion, and the corresponding premium was as high as 200,000.

Afterwards, a series of processes including taking photos, numbering, and payment were completed, and the insurance policy was immediately handed to Zhou Qi.

This piece of finest imperial green glass is stored in a high-specification safe. The password is set by Zhou Qi himself and it can only be opened with the insurance policy and password.

The insurance company sent a special car and personnel to transport the safe containing the raw stone away, and according to Zhou Qi's request, arranged a plane to send it to Hai City on the same day.

The entire process was professional and efficient, ensuring the safety of this precious gem.

Du Bowen asked Zhou Qi: "Are you going to Hai City?"

Zhou Qi nodded and said frankly:

"Mr. Xing recommended Lao Fengxiang to me, and I couldn't refuse his kindness. Besides, Lao Fengxiang is a national jewelry brand with strong strength. I also want to cooperate with them and give the raw stones to them for processing."

“But everything is still under discussion.”

Zhou Qi added: "And I have made an appointment with Elder Xing to go to Hai City together."

Du Bowen asked: "When do we leave?"

"The flight is at 2pm." Zhou Qi replied.

Du Bowen was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so fast. Are you leaving right after the auction?

But he knew Zhou Qi had something important to do, so he said, "I don't know anything about jade, so I won't go with you."

He said with emotion: "This experience in Hangzhou and Diancheng is really incredible, as exciting as a dream.

My blood pressure is almost unbearable. I am old and really not as good as you young people!"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Brother Du, you are at the right age!"

Du Qianqian, who was standing by, joked, "Dad, don't say you can't stand it. I can't stand it either. He just likes to make people's heart beat faster."

"This can't be blamed on Xiao Zhou," Du Bowen explained with a smile, "He always told us the situation in advance, but we were skeptical and didn't trust him completely."

“This is also because our knowledge is limited.”

Du Bowen continued: "Xiao Zhou's ability is beyond our comprehension."

Zhou Qi smiled and responded lightly: "Brother Du, don't say that. We are a family, so we should not talk about different things."

Du Bowen patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder and said gratefully:

"We are indeed a family. Thank you for helping me see the true colors of some people. When we were in Hangzhou, I noticed that there was a gap between you and some people, but you always took my face into consideration."

Then, Du Bowen looked at Zhou Qi seriously and said, "I want to transfer 20% of Teng Ao's shares to you."

Zhou Qi looked at him in surprise: "Brother Du, what does this mean?"

Du Bowen waved his hands and said, "I owe my daughter too much, there are some things that you understand without further explanation.

Today I officially entrust her to you. This share is my gift to you and also her dowry. Please accept it."

Du Bowen originally wanted to give some shares directly to Du Qianqian, but considering the public relationship and the feelings of other family members, it seemed more appropriate to realize this wish indirectly through cooperation with Zhou Qi.

Hualong Teng'ao Company is jointly held by him and Zhou Qi, and the legal representative is his daughter Du Qianqian. In this way, the shares given to Zhou Qi are actually prepared for Du Qianqian.

Most importantly, it symbolizes trust and support for Zhou Qi.

The daughter had her own ideas.

As a father, Du Bowen felt it necessary to express his support and blessings. Du Qianqian's eyes sparkled.

She took a step forward, hugged her father Du Bowen tightly, and said softly: "Dad, I don't need anything."

"How can that be done?"

Du Bowen replied: "You are my daughter, Du Bowen. I just made the right decision that any father would do for his child. That's it."
