After another fierce round of bargaining, Qin Yi and the pawn shop owner finally made a deal at 27 million yuan.
When the transaction was completed, Qin Yi was in a great mood as he looked at the string of numbers on his phone. He finally had the chance to buy medicinal ingredients.
Then, he took out the box he redeemed using the pawn ticket.
The box was the main reason he came here. He wanted to see how much it was worth.
Then, he opened it and saw a pair of green jade bracelets.
Jade bracelets?
Why did Li Chongyang's gift include a male jade bracelet?
Qin Yi blinked in confusion.
Although the bracelets were made of jade, their color was not very good. They were not worth much, were they?
"Boss, how much will you pay for these jade bracelets?" asked Qin Yi.
At this time, the boss only focused on admiring the piece of imperial green jadeite. He glanced at the bracelets and said casually, "50 to 60 thousand yuan!"
50,000 to 60,000?
Qin Yi was surprised. He knew the bracelets weren't worth much, but he hadn't thought they would be so cheap!
Li Chongyang had a lot of assets, so he shouldn't have given him such a cheap thing.
After some thought, Qin Yi decided not to sell it. The money in his hands was enough to buy the ingredients anyway.
After saying goodbye to the boss, he left directly.
Soon, Wang Zirou stepped into the store.
"Miss Wang, you're here!" The boss came forward to welcome her. "This is the account book for this month. Please have a look."
This shop belonged to the Wang family, and it was under Wang Zirou.
While Wang Zirou was checking the account books, the owner took the Imperial Green Jadeite he had just collected and said happily, "Miss Wang, we're lucky today. I've received a good thing! Haha!"
Wang Zirou looked up and found that the piece of jade was a little familiar. She thoughtfully asked, "Did you take it from a man?"
"How did you know?"
The boss was only slightly confused for a moment. Then, he continued happily, "It is a good thing. Although it looks rough on the surface and ordinary, an Imperial Green Jadeite is hidden inside. It's a rare jade!"
"A jade in jade?"
"Yes, you can see it from here." The boss pointed to the cut he had made. "I'm fortunate today. No one would have found it if I hadn't cut it."
Wang Zirou took a closer look and couldn't help frowning. She asked, "What price did you offer the seller?"
"Two million and seven hundred thousand. The price is a little high, but it is rare. If I asked Mr. Zhang to clean it up, it would be more than this price!"
She was lost in thought, as if she couldn't hear the explanation.
Qin Yi bought it at thirty-eight thousand yuan and earned seventy-one times higher than he got in a blink of an eye.
Those with such discerning eyes couldn't be ordinary people.
Was it by chance, or did Wang Zirou look down on him?
Forget it! How could such an ordinary man like him affect her mood?
Wang Zirou stopped thinking about it and raised her head to ask, "By the way, have you received the pair of jade bracelets?"
"No." The boss sighed and said, "I've been sending people to inquire about it in various shops every day recently, and..."
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered something.
The young man seemed to be selling a pair of jade bracelets. Could it be the one that Wang Zirou wanted?
Wang Zirou asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Oh! It's nothing. It's too difficult to find those jade bracelets. I'll arrange for more people to find it." The boss hurriedly said, thinking that he couldn't tell the truth. If Wang Zirou knew that he didn't take it seriously, it would be bad!
"If you see them, inform me anytime," Wang Zirou said softly, with a melancholy tint on her beautiful face.
......
Qin Yi took the jade bracelets and walked around the square. He didn't find anything else before leaving.
At the same time, he was thinking about searching for treasures, which was not in line with his principle.
He focused on letting nature take its course. If it were only greed, he would only sink into the abyss.
Moreover, it was not a long-term solution.
If he only wanted to make money, he would have gone to the casino with his Divine Eye.
He had to be down-to-earth, whether it was making money or some other errands.
To put it simply.
Have you ever seen a big shot who could dominate the world with his hands? No one became rich and influential through illegal means.
When he returned home, Qin Yi took out the jade bracelets and examined them carefully.
At first glance, he finally saw something.
It was true that the jade was ordinary, but some unique cracks were on it.
It was the shape of the grain, like a flying phoenix spreading its wings!
It was not strange for a jade bracelet to have such a texture.
But both jade bracelets had similar patterns!
"So, that's how it is!" Qin Yi understood.
If this jade bracelet was particular about quality, the price would not be so high.
But the collection would definitely be of great value!
With this thought in mind, Qin Yi decided to sell it again.
Anyway, this thing was useless to him.
He didn't want to go to the antique mall.
It was hard to say the price of this thing, and people in the antique city were all intelligent and wily, so bargaining with them was troublesome.
Qin Yi simply took a few photos and posted them on Qingyu City's business network.
The one who paid the most would be sold to the other.
After dealing with these things, he began to prepare to buy medicinal materials.
Qin Yi took out his phone and dialed a contact called 'Rosalia.'
From the other end of the phone came the seductive voice of a woman. "Hey, Qin Yi! Why do you call me?"
Qin Yi couldn't stand her voice which made men feel numb. He endured the goosebumps all over his body and said, "Rose, let's get down to business. Prepare some of the ingredients Divine Witch gave me last time to strengthen the body vein formula."
"Hey? Doesn't he ban you from consuming the medicine?"
"It's okay. I have a task to do when I go down the mountain. Divine Witch is not around."
"You've learned to lie, haven't you? But I don't suggest you try it. If you fail, I can only play with Bomi in the future."
Qin Yi's eyelids twitched.
Bomi was Rosalia's pet dog. How could she compare Qin Yi with a dog?
Regardless of his anger, Qin Yi didn't dare say a word. After all, she was the disciple of the Divine Witch.
"Stop fooling around, Rose. Let's be serious. How much does it cost?"
"How about this? Give me two million first for the first formula. If you do not have enough, I'll take care of the rest."
"All right, that's settled then." Qin Yi said as he thought Rosalia, the wily woman, was genuinely detestable.
Her status and charm might cause the others to send her precious herbs just because she wanted them. However, she suggested she could make up for it and wanted Qin Yi to owe her a favor.
Alas! Qin Yi needed her now. Perhaps, he could give her a massage on her shoulder after this.
"Oh, right! What has your master, Divine Witch, been busy with recently? He didn't answer the phone either," asked Qin Yi. He'd wanted to ask for some methods to help Yu Xiaofei.
"It's enough to have me. Why are you still looking for him?"
"Um, you're a woman. Aren't I too embarrassed to ask you?" Qin Yi smiled.
"Hey! Look at what you said. Are you embarrassed when you peeked at someone bathing?"
"I didn't mean it..." Qin Yi's face reddened as he emphasized he didn't do it on purpose.
"Well, let's not talk about that thing. Last time I felt uncomfortable and asked you to massage my shoulders, where were you looking at, huh? You were drooling so much that your saliva could wash my hair."
Qin Yi was speechless.
He didn't know what to say as his face flushed red.
F*ck! Why did she have to say things that obvious? Didn't she know that men would be shy too?
