Chapter 33: The Treasure in the Stepping Stone (5)

  The fourth update continues to ask for votes!

  ………………………………

  Li Yang rented a house in the adjacent neighborhood to his apartment, which is an older neighborhood of Mingyang. Because it was a residential area for company employees' families, it had not been rebuilt and only such neighborhoods would have large courtyards on the first floor. Li Yang's rental was on the first floor, with the cutting machine placed in the courtyard.

  No more discomfort after drinking, Li Yang immediately brought several books to run here, today is Sunday and he doesn't have work, he wants to get familiar with the process of relieving thirst.

  Before coming, Li Yang specifically went online to check the information about the glass species of Emperor Green. Although the glass species of Feicui is rare, it's not impossible to find. Several pieces of glass species' Feicui jewelry were sold at the Qingdao Jewelry Exhibition, and similarly, the all-green Emperor Green also appeared, with transaction records at the Qingdao Jewelry Exhibition.

  However, when it comes to combining glass and imperial green jade, it becomes extremely difficult. The number of people who have seen such a piece can be counted on one's fingers, and many jade enthusiasts may not see such a piece in their lifetime.

  By comparison, Li Yang can now confirm that the ugly-looking stone is actually a rare and precious glass material called "Emperor Green", which is worth more than the old ice-type jade he just sold. The value of this small piece of material is impossible to estimate, but Li Yang can sense that it's extremely valuable.

  It turns out that Zhang Wei lost big this time. He personally ran over to invite Li Yang, and then the two best things he had became Li Yang's.

  He compared the book and those gambling stone materials, Li Yang verified for a whole morning, in the afternoon he started to decipher the stone, first deciphering those new scene mouth coming out of the gambling stone materials, these materials just let him practice, before getting familiar Li Yang did not plan to decipher the cushion stone materials that were almost hot in his pocket.

  Having a lithotripsy machine is convenient. Li Yang spent the whole afternoon operating on kidney stones, and compared to when he was at Zhang Wei's place, he was much more skilled now.

  The next day, Li Yang did not go to work and asked Zhang Ying for a few days off. Zhang Ying approved his request without even asking any questions. As the person in charge of one of the many branch companies, Zhang Ying has been under the spotlight of the upper management. He has continuously procured several high-end raw materials for the company, especially the old pit ice jade from yesterday, which directly alleviated some pressure on the parent company's supply of ice jade. This left a very good and deep impression on the top management, who not only commended him but also awarded him 100,000 yuan in prize money.

  All of this was brought by Li Yang, so taking a leave is naturally no problem at all.

  For two consecutive days, Li Yang unraveled all the more than 40 pieces of wool, and those that were not good were directly thrown away as trash. Those with some value were taken back to his apartment. These things weren't worth much, but they were still worth something. A mosquito is meat after all, and Li Yang, who came from a poor background, didn't want to waste them.

  On the third day, Li Yang gave away all the remaining seven pieces of waste stone he had brought back. Only when it was confirmed that there were no more waste stones in the yard did Li Yang start to solve the puzzle stone that could produce glass-like Emperor Green jade. The current Li Yang's proficiency in solving puzzles is vastly different from before, and even if he is not as good as Sima Lin, the difference is not too great. Having solved over 50 pieces in three days, even the most foolish person should be familiar with it by now.

  Only a palm-sized piece of Emperor Green glass was carefully placed under the cutting machine by Li Yang, who also used his special ability to observe it again and confirm that there were no problems before making the cut.

  This time, Li Yang spent more than an hour carving the stone, every step was extremely careful, and Li Yang even felt that if he damaged the jade inside, he would be a sinner.

  After everything was solved, Li Yang stood alone in the courtyard with a small piece of jadeite, smiling foolishly. The transparent jade had a full green charm, without any flaws, as if it were an immortal fairy that shouldn't exist in the mortal world, making people dare not to profane it.

  "What a beauty! It's indeed the king of jade!"

  Facing the sunlight, Li Yang exclaimed that he had originally planned to sell this piece of jade to the company, but Li Yang suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to keep this piece of jade for himself, and anyone who saw it would probably have the same idea.

  "What a pity I don't know how to carve stones, otherwise I would have carved one into a pendant and left it here as a family heirloom!"

  After a long time, Li Yang reluctantly put the glass-embedded imperial green jadeite in his pocket. Since he didn't plan to sell this piece of jadeite, there was no need to show it to Zhang Ying. Moreover, he had just gambled on a rise yesterday and now took out another top-grade jadeite today, who knows what Zhang Ying would think?

  He pulled out his phone and checked the time before closing the door to head back to his own apartment. This house was too old, otherwise Li Yang really would have considered moving in directly.

  In the apartment, Li Yangcai felt great after putting away the jadeite. This top-notch jadeite was settled, and he should go check his bank card. A few days ago, Zhang Ying told him that the company had given him 100 million yuan, but he hadn't checked his account until now.

  Looking at the string of numbers, Li Yang was satisfied and pulled out his bank card. One million and ten million gave people a completely different feeling, just adding one digit, but on the screen display of the bank's ATM machine, it felt like many more were added.

  Li Yang's total assets have now reached over 11 million, which is almost enough to buy a top-of-the-line villa in Mingyang, but it's sufficient to buy an ordinary villa and a good car. The matter of buying a house and a car should be put on the agenda.

  "Li Yang!"

  Li Yang had just pulled out the card when a clear and crisp voice came from behind him. He turned around to find that Wu Xiaoli, whom he hadn't seen for many days, was standing right behind him.

  "Xiao Li!" Seeing Wu Xiao Li, Li Yang was also surprised. It had been over a week since the Qingdao incident, and because they hadn't contacted each other, Li Yang wasn't sure how Wu Xiao Li had recovered either.

  However, seeing Wu Xiaoli smiling and standing in front of him, wearing a beautiful outfit that exuded youthful energy, Li Yang could feel that she had almost recovered. At this time, she should have come out to buy things at the supermarket, and the ATM where Li Yang checked his bank card was just next to a large supermarket.

  "I didn't expect you'd be back already, I thought I was going to arrive earlier than you!"

  Wu Xiaoli smiled, and Li Yang felt a bit unaccustomed to seeing Wu Xiaoli's smiling face. This girl had always been against him before, but suddenly she changed her expression, as if she had become a different person.

  "I just got back too. If I wasn't so bored at home, I would have waited until after the New Year to come!" Li Yang said with a smile, pulling out his phone from his pocket, which had just rung a moment ago.

  "Let me answer this call first!"

  Li Yang greeted Wu Xiaoli and then answered the phone, which was a call from home, but it was Fang Shuqin's number. Fang Shuqin rarely called Li Yang.

  "Yangyang, something's wrong, there's been an accident at home, come back quickly!"

  As soon as the phone was connected, Li Yang was stunned there, and on the other end of the phone was Fang Shuqin's crying voice, and Li Yang also heard some noise around.
