slant [rebirth]

Before returning to Qingshi, Jiang Rui still lived in Wumian for a few days.

When Rong Jingtang said that someone was looking for him, Jiang Rui was a little surprised. He didn't know anyone else in Yidian.

"It's one of the judges of the competition." With Rong Jingtang's status, she naturally wouldn't memorize the name of an irrelevant person without any special reason.

Jiang Rui immediately thought of Cao Xingjian.Then contacting the news that I saw in the newspaper a few days ago, I also have some guesses about Cao Xingjian's intentions.

"If you don't want to see him, I'll ask Uncle Cheng to send him away." Rong Jingtang was dressed in a white homely silk dress, with her legs crossed, half sitting and half leaning on the pear wood recliner, her posture was leisurely and elegant.He was holding a book in his hand, and he was talking to Jiang Rui while turning the pages. His slender and beautiful fingers turned the pages very nimbly and beautifully. Jiang Rui couldn't help but stop his gaze on his hands.

When Rong Jingtang reads a book, he can turn a page in a few seconds, which is comparable to his speed of reading documents.And chat with him from time to time.Jiang Rui had long guessed what this person's IQ was.But I am afraid that I will be hit when I know...

Jiang Rui was also curious to read the books he read, but found that the books were not written in the same language, some of which he could not even tell which language they were in...

"It's okay, it's okay to meet you." Jiang Rui said gently.

Rong Jingtang always obeyed him in such small matters, and then asked Uncle Cheng to spread the word.

When Cao Xingjian came in, he found that Jiang Rui was not the only one in the living room, Rong Jingtang was also here.The picture of the two getting along is natural and easy-going.

He had always thought that Jiang Rui was also a son of an extraordinary family. After all, such a miraculous stone gambling skill was something ordinary people couldn't raise.But he couldn't find any information about Jiang Rui's identity in Yidian, as if it was well hidden by someone.So I had no choice but to try to use my contacts to send Rong Jingtang a call to contact Jiang Rui. After all, they seemed to have a good relationship during the game and looked familiar.

The identities of the guests at the Panhui in August were kept secret. Naturally, Cao Xingjian did not know the identity of Rong Jingtang, and it took a lot of effort to pass the message to Rong Jingtang through the high-level executives of the Panhui.

Now it seems that the relationship between the two is closer than I imagined.

Rong Jingtang was reading her book beside her, but the presence of others was obvious, and her aura was too forceful. Even though she looked calm at home, she didn't make a sound, which made Cao Xingjian feel pressured.At this time, people who are about to age don't even know where to put their hands and feet.

It stands to reason that the owner here is Rong Jingtang, and it is the host who greets the guests, but Jiang Rui has not spent a short time with him, no matter how dull he is, he knows that people like Rong Jingtang can make Cao Xingjian enter Wuchuang City It's for his face, let alone asking him to condescend and say hello.

Seeing Cao Xingmo's embarrassment, Jiang Rui greeted him with a smile, "Master Cao, please sit down."

Cao Xingjian hurriedly responded with a smile, glanced at Rong Jingtang and saw that he had no intention of objecting, and then sat down carefully.

Jiang Rui felt that Master Cao was in his forties and fifties, and he was so nervous and respectful in front of them. Not to mention him, Jiang Rui felt strangely uncomfortable, so he pushed the person on the recliner beside him: "Jingtang, you go upstairs first. Help me see my drawings." Without this person, Master Cao would not be so nervous.

Rong Jingtang closed the book, raised her head and stared at Jiang Rui for a moment, then glanced at Cao Xingjian, got up and went upstairs without saying a word.

Jiang Rui couldn't laugh or cry when he was provoked by his petty temper, and helplessly said to Cao Xingjian: "Master Cao, please ignore him, he is just like this."

Cao Xingjian broke out in a cold sweat just now at that glance, and said with a sneer, "Where is it? I was abrupt in my visit, but Mr. Rong is more approachable than I imagined."

Jiang Rui: "..." Master Cao, you have a good talent for telling cold jokes.

"I heard from Jingtang that Master Cao has something to do with me?" After Uncle Cheng served tea to the two of them, Jiang Rui took a sip and asked.He was afraid that the master upstairs would be impatient, so he didn't greet Cao Xingjian, and went straight to the point.

"Actually, it's not a big deal... I just want to ask Young Master Jiang, do you intend to sell the top-quality imperial green jadeite you unraveled that day?" Cao Xingjian himself regards jadeite as his life, so he subconsciously feels that others will value those top-quality jadeites. .

Jiang Rui shook his head: "I'm sorry, Master Cao is an expert. I don't need to tell you the value of that piece of jade. It's impossible to sell now."

When Cao Xingjian heard the words, he immediately grasped the hidden meaning of his words, and said with a happy expression: "Does that mean we will make a move in the future?"

Although this piece of jadeite is good, but to Jiang Rui, it is nothing more than a higher value. In the eyes of people like Cao Xingjian, it is not ordinary, but they will not give up if they have a chance to get it.It is also willing to pay a great price for this.

"If there is a suitable opportunity, I will naturally not miss it." Jiang Rui used the tea cover to stir the heat above the tea noodles.

Cao Xingjian couldn't understand what he meant, that is, if the value of jadeite rises in the future and the price is right, Jiang Rui will make a move.

But at that time, I may not be able to afford it...

Cao Xingjian was rather sad.

Jiang Rui glanced at his expression, and said again: "Of course, jadeite is a spiritual thing. The most important thing to find the owner of the best jadeite is fate. You have to find a master who can cherish it. And I just want it. People who are willing to pay enough for it.”

When Jiang Rui said this, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was faint but people couldn't move their eyes away. His voice was full of his unique tenderness, and every word struck the listener's heart.

Cao Xingjian felt nervous again not long after he went down, and he asked a little nervously, "I don't know what kind of price will satisfy Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Rui smiled when he heard the words, looked at Cao Xingjian but didn't speak, as if to say, "Why do you ask me if you have already thought about the conditions?" '.

Cao Xingjian had never dared to underestimate the young man in front of him, but today's conversation refreshed Jiang Rui's image in his heart again.

In the handicap match, Cao Xingjian paid more attention to this young man from the very beginning, first because of his age and temperament, and later because of his temperament and ability.

At the same time, he also noticed that this young man was not as gentle and harmless as his appearance. It could even be said that Jiang Rui, who revealed his true nature, was a sharp and stern person like a sharp sword at times.

Seeing Jiang Rui getting along with Mr. Rong today, he also understood that the tip of Jiang Rui's sword will not be directed towards the person he cares about.

Just like Mr. Rong, Jiang Rui's attitude towards him is obviously tolerant and caring, and the gentleness in front of him comes from the heart.

But Cao Xingjian didn't dare to compare with that Mr. Rong.

"Master Jiang must have heard about my resignation from the board meeting... I have no other skills. I am not as talented as Jiang Shaotian in stone gambling, but I have accumulated some experience and vision over the years. Jiang Shao If you don’t dislike it, I’m willing to play a small role for Jiang Shao under Jiang Shao’s command. Previously, I signed with Panhui for ten years, but I have a relationship with Jiang Shao. This contract period is worse than signing for 30 years.” Cao Xingjian is 30 this year, Signing for another [-] years is almost equivalent to signing the rest of his life to Jiang Rui.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is inconceivable for a master of Cao Xingjian's status to sell the rest of his life for a piece of jadeite.Anyone who understands jade will know that gold is valuable and jade is priceless, and so is jade.There may not be any such top-quality jadeite in Jiang Rui's hand, let alone the next 30 years, the next 50 years, or even a hundred years.

Jade resources are also constantly being consumed, and will only become rarer in the future.

Jiang Rui's eyes deepened into a smile, his face seemed to be quite moved by Cao Xingjian, and he said: "Master Cao loves that piece of jade so much, and is so sincere, even a layman like me will be touched by it. It seems that I am short-tempered."

This means yes!

Cao Xingjian looked overjoyed, he was relieved, and thanked Jiang Rui for not taking the opportunity to speak loudly to him.

After all, even if Jiang Rui made some unreasonable demands, he would agree.

In his life, he has only had such a good heart as Jade, for this thought, he can pay any price.

After seeing off Cao Xingjian, it was almost time for dinner.

Jiang Rui brought Uncle Cheng's prepared medicinal meal upstairs and went to Rong Jingtang.

I asked this gentleman to go upstairs just now. Don't look at what he didn't say at the time, I guess he was very unwilling.

Uncle Rong has never been easy to serve, sometimes he is very temperamental, if Jiang Rui is not gentle and good-natured, willing to follow him, considerate and coaxing, Uncle Cheng might not be able to do it.

Knocked on the door of the study.

Sure enough, no one inside responded.

Jiang Rui smiled and pushed open the door.

Rong Jingtang was sitting in front of the desk, holding a dozen or so drawings in his hand, when he heard Jiang Rui's voice entering the door, he ignored it at all.The breath all over my body is saying 'I don't want to talk to you, don't talk to me'.

"Put those down first, and eat something." Jiang Rui put the medicinal meal beside him.

Rong Jingtang didn't raise her head, and picked up the bowl to eat without saying a word.

Jiang Rui leaned over to him and said with a smile: "Hey, let me see, Master Rong's face is not very good today, who made you angry? Master Rong, please tell me, I will definitely clean him up for you and vent your anger! "

Only then did Rong Jingtang look up, looking at Jiang Rui as if accusing, "Isn't it you who provoked me, how can you be so thick-skinned!" '.

Seeing that he was finally willing to pay attention, Jiang Rui knew that most of his anger had dissipated, so he simply said a lot of good things, and promised again and again that there would be no next time, which made Master Rong calm down.

Jiang Rui watched him finish the medicinal meal before going downstairs to eat.
