After Li Chongyang and the others congratulated Qin Yi, they did not stay any longer.
On the way back, Li Xueli said reluctantly, "President Li, it took you a lot of effort to get the jade bracelet."
"Alas! There's no choice..."
Li Chongyang sighed sadly.
He had lost 10 million yuan to Dark Horse yesterday, and there was not much left of his flowing capital. He could only give the jade bracelet to Qin Yi if he had no money.
Moreover, he had long inquired that the eldest daughter of the Wang family had a special affection for the jade bracelet.
By chance, he got the jade bracelet. Initially, he planned to send it as a gift to celebrate the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Wang family so that he could get in touch with her.
Now that he was poor, he could only treat it as an apology gift to Qin Yi.
However, it was also beneficial.
The eldest daughter of the Wang family was aloof and arrogant. She might not be willing to accept it if she sent it to him.
If Qin Yi had been her boyfriend, it would've been a different story. She would've been pleased.
She was happy, and so was Qin Yi.
Who knew if the son-in-law of the Wang family, Qin Yi, would thank Li Chongyang then?
Yes, he could start tackling Qin Yi if he wanted to have a little bit of a relationship with the Wang family!
Thinking of this, Li Chongyang was not going to suffer a loss.
On the contrary, he felt that the incident from yesterday was worth it!
"Let's go. I'll buy you a new set of maids' uniforms. Haha!" Li Chongyang happily said as he placed his hand on Li Xueli's shoulder.
......
After they'd left, Qin Yi opened the red packet and saw it was a pawn ticket.
The pawn ticket was similar to the vouchers used to send gifts to people.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to send gifts in different sizes of bags.
Keeping some valuable things in a particular shop and redeeming the items with a ticket was a simple way to save time and effort. Therefore, Qin Yi couldn't say anything.
Qin Yi looked at the address on the ticket. It was in an antique item store in Qingyu City.
Did it mean that the thing Li Chongyang gave Qin Yi was an antique?
While delving deep in thought, Qin Yi bade goodbye to Shen Moyun, saying he'd be leaving for a while.
Anyway, there was nothing for him to do there in the restaurant. He was only responsible for enjoying the dividends of the restaurant and presiding over its significant decisions.
He walked forward and was about to take a taxi to the antique mall to get something.
Suddenly, he saw a girl in front of him giving out a flyer.
He knew that girl. A few days ago, in the night market, she even helped her drive away a fat woman who was blackmailing.
It was daytime, and she looked quite beautiful.
She had a graceful figure, fair skin, and highly delicate and refined facial features.
The beads of sweat on her forehead were shining in the sun.
Of course, it wasn't why Qin Yi was staring at her.
It was the flyer of Qin Yi's restaurant that she'd sent out.
He remembered that he asked to stop sending out brochures yesterday. Why was the girl still distributing them now?
She handed it to a passerby.
The passerby only glanced at them and threw them on the road. Then, she bent down to pick them up and continued to send them out.
"Not bad," said Qin Yi with admiration.
One could just ignore the flyer if someone else did the job. Who would pick it up from the ground if a passerby threw it away?
Qin Yi walked up to Wang Xiaolu, and she reflexively handed him a flyer before saying, "Hello, please take a look."
After she'd finished speaking, she recognized that Qin Yi was the boy who'd helped her out of the predicament a few nights ago.
There was a hint of surprise and nervousness in Wang Xiaolu's eyes for a moment. "Oh, it's you!"
"Hi." Qin Yi responded with a smile and asked, "Shouldn't you stop distributing the flyers since yesterday? Why are you still sending it out today?"
"What? How do you know?" Wang Xiaolu was surprised and asked, "Did you also work for NuVegan?"
After that, she explained that Shen Moyun had given her more salary in private when she saw that she was serious about her job.
The girl thought she couldn't let Shen Moyun down, so she secretly kept the brochures after others didn't finish sending them yesterday.
"By the way, have you finished distributing yours? If you haven't, I'll help you!" said Wang Xiaolu.
"There's no need." Qin Yi smiled.
"It doesn't matter. You helped me that day, and I'll do you a favor, too," Wang Xiaolu said with a smile, revealing her white teeth.
Qin Yi asked, "I don't need it. Oh right! What's your phone number?"
Wang Xiaolu was dumbstruck.
Her fair cheeks flushed like the morning sun.
After all, it meant a lot to ask a boy for a girl's phone number, such as... dating.
The two exchanged phone numbers before Qin Yi left.
Looking at his back, Wang Xiaolu gleamed. It was not until he had gone far away that she nerved herself to ask loudly, "Hey, what's your name?"
"Qin Yi. I share the same surname as the ancient emperor."
Qin Yi turned his head and smiled radiantly.
He asked Wang Xiaolu's phone number because very few people now have such a strong sense of responsibility. In the future, he could find a way to make money and ask her for help. It would be much easier.
The square where the ancient toy shop was located was lively, with stalls everywhere.
There were many things, such as jade jewelry, toys, unique stones, paintings, hand-made crafts, and so on.
Of course, most of them were fake.
The people who came here mainly were older adults who were used to antiques and rich kids.
After all, ordinary people couldn't afford antiques.
Qin Yi wasn't interested in these things. He only wanted to exchange the gift with the pawn ticket he had and see what it was and how much it was worth so that he could buy some of the ingredients needed to strengthen his meridians.
While walking, he was suddenly attracted by a piece of jade in the roadside stall.
That piece of jade was about the size of a palm. It looked rough on the surface, and its color was not good enough. It was only that he didn't know what attracted him.
"Young man! Have you taken a fancy to this piece of jade? You have a good vision. It is..."
The boss was astute and observant. He could tell with a glance that Qin Yi was interested in that piece of jade. Hence, he came to Qin Yi and boasted about his product.
Qin Yi picked up the jade, then suddenly opened his eyes and used his Divine Eyes.
In an instant, through the rough surface, he saw a green speck the size of a pigeon egg in the center.
"It's a good jade!"
Qin Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Although he did not know jade, at the very least, he recognized that the pigeon-egg-sized peck inside was the Imperial Green Jadeite.
It turned out to be a piece of jade inside a jade!
It was small, but it would be worth at least a million yuan.
At this time, he suddenly smelled a sweet scent.
It was not the fragrance of jade but a woman's body scent.
Qin Yi raised his head subconsciously. He didn't know when a beautiful girl was standing next to him, quietly studying the items in the stall.
She had a pair of watery eyes, looking like a gorgeous fairy.
She would shake the mortal world by standing here for only a brief moment.
Qin Yi recognized her as he had met her last night.
She was Wang Zixing's elder sister, the goddess Yu Xiaofei mentioned, Wang Zirou!
Behind Wang Zirou were two men in suits and leather shoes. They seemed to be her bodyguards.
On the other side, a well-dressed boy kept saying something. "Zirou, stop looking at the stall anymore. What kind of treasure can you pick up here? Let's go to my shop! You can buy anything as long as you like it..."
However, Wang Zirou turned a blind eye to him.
Her pure eyes, as clear as a crystal lake, were still carefully examining the things on the stall.
"Nice to meet you." Qin Yi greeted her with a smile.
After all, he and Wang Zixing could be considered friends. He was so close to Wang Zirou now that he couldn't let this opportunity slip!
