Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Meddling In!

"You...!" Ning Deguang couldn’t contain his anger at Shen Yuyan’s words, convinced she was just using her status to support the "brother" she mentioned.

What merely a CEO of Mingfeng Company, if he dared to touch her "brother," the consequences would be something he couldn’t bear. Wasn’t this disrespecting him?

Only Zhao Jing understood that Shen Yuyan’s words did not really disrespect Ning Deguang but rather genuinely warned him or even saved him.

They all knew that if Zhu Fei truly got angry, he wouldn’t care about the consequences and might just cripple Ning Deguang and his men on the spot.

Despite Ning Deguang being detestable and none of them liking him,

to cripple someone over just a verbal argument seemed too much.

Moreover, they weren’t here to conflict with Ning Deguang; they had their own business to attend to.

Thinking this, Shen Yuyan cast a cold glance at Ning Deguang before turning to Zhu Fei and smiling, "Alright, Zhu Fei, let’s not stoop to such a person’s level and hurry to take care of our own business."

After saying this, Shen Yuyan boldly took Zhu Fei’s arm and leaned slightly into his side as they walked into a shop selling raw stone materials.

Seeing this, Ning Deguang seemed to want to say something, but when his eyes met Zhao Jing standing in front of him, he swallowed his words back.

He was well aware that Shen Yuyan’s bodyguard-cum-assistant was not an easy woman to deal with.

Not only was she skilled, but also her actions were decisive and ruthless. One look at Ning Deguang’s slightly wary demeanor, and it was clear that he or his men had previously suffered at Zhao Jing’s hands.

"Hmph! We’ll see about that!"

Ning Deguang watched Shen Yuyan and Zhu Fei walking away and spitefully muttered this phrase. Then, he stopped dwelling on the matter and led his group into the same raw stone shop.

...

"Zhu Fei, look, which piece of jadeite raw stone should we choose first?"

As they walked into the shop, Shen Yuyan immediately whispered to Zhu Fei.

While speaking, she noticed Ning Deguang and his group who had entered after them, but neither she nor Zhu Fei paid them any attention, merely nodding at Zhao Jing who followed them.

"Sister Shen, we should just—"

"Quick, look! It went up!"

"Holy shit! It really did go up! The clarity is so high, probably not far off from regular ice types!"

Just as Zhu Fei was about to respond to Shen Yuyan’s earlier question, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.

In front of a stone-cutting machine ahead, a middle-aged man was rubbing his hands excitedly, eyes full of anticipation, as he looked at a piece of jadeite raw stone held by the shop owner.

And that stone had been largely cut by the machine, revealing a clear section inside.

"Sister Shen, that... that’s Orchid Ice!"

Zhao Jing, with sharp eyes, immediately noticed the hints of blue within the exposed jadeite and promptly pointed at the Orchid Ice, whispering to Shen Yuyan with slight excitement.

Orchid Ice, as it’s known, is also a type of ice jadeite but not of the higher grades. It’s rather common among the ice varieties.

Nevertheless, this type of jadeite was still quite rare.

And judging by the condition of that raw stone, if nothing went wrong, the volume of that piece of Orchid Ice should also be substantial.

For Shen Yuyan, who currently needs this type of jade raw material, it is definitely a rare and excellent find.

"Mm, I saw it."

Shen Yuyan nodded repeatedly, a hint of joy inevitably appearing on her beautiful and exquisite face.

She was very clear that if she could acquire that piece of Orchid Ice now, she would definitely gain a certain exhibition status at the upcoming jewelry exhibition.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuyan dared not hesitate any longer, and quickly pulled on Zhu Fei’s arm beside her, smiling at him,

"Zhu Fei, let’s go, I must buy that piece of Orchid Ice."

Seeing Shen Yuyan’s reaction, Zhu Fei also knew that the piece of Orchid Ice was probably of extreme importance to Shen Yuyan at the moment.

He had already seen through his Divine Sense that in the uncut raw stone, there was still a large portion of Orchid Ice hidden.

So, he didn’t refuse and, along with Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing, headed towards the owner who had cut the Orchid Ice, a middle-aged man.

"Friend, I would like to know if you plan to sell this Orchid Ice. If you do, I am willing to purchase the remaining whole raw stone for two million."

Before Shen Yuyan and the others even reached the middle-aged man, Ning Deguang’s annoying voice had already resounded in everyone’s ears first.

Hearing Ning Deguang’s voice, the expressions on Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing’s faces changed simultaneously.

Shen Yuyan became even more anxious, without having time to think more, she directly shouted to the middle-aged man, "Friend, if you plan to sell it, I am willing to buy it for two million six-hundred thousand."

Not knowing what was going through Ning Deguang’s mind, upon hearing Shen Yuyan’s offer, he chuckled and said to the middle-aged man again,

"Friend, I offer three million five hundred thousand. You should know that this price basically already exceeds the price of your jade. If you are willing, I can pay you right now."

As they spoke, Zhu Fei, Shen Yuyan, Zhao Jing, as well as Ning Deguang and his group, all approached the middle-aged man.

At this moment, Shen Yuyan’s face looked very troubled; she had never expected Ning Deguang to interject so abruptly.

And, as Ning Deguang had just said, three million five hundred thousand was already beyond the price of the Orchid Ice raw stone.

Unlike Ning Deguang, who had a large amount of readily available cash, the two million six hundred thousand she mentioned was basically the maximum she could currently utilize.

Moreover, this was after she had received over ten million from Zhu Fei.

As for the rest of the money, she had other plans for it today. If she continued to bid now, it would likely disrupt her company’s development plans.

"Sister Shen!"

Seeing that Shen Yuyan was hesitant to respond, Zhao Jing became anxious.

She was well aware of the quality of the Orchid Ice currently on offer; just from the part exposed, it should be considered top-quality Orchid Ice.

If they missed this opportunity now, who knows how long it would be before they could encounter such quality jade again.

"Phew—"

Shen Yuyan took a deep breath; at this moment, she had made up her mind.

Even if it would disrupt her development plans for the company, she would still make an effort and try her best to obtain that piece of Orchid Ice.

She knew that if their Shen Corporation could secure a place at the upcoming jewelry exhibition to penetrate the high-end market, it would definitely be more beneficial than detrimental.

So...

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuyan’s eyes firmed, and she finally resolutely said to the middle-aged man, "I offer four million!"
