Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Never Admit It Even If Beaten to Death

"It’s not him looking, it’s you looking!"

Could he possibly have seen through her dealing with Zhu Yuan to buy the raw stones?

Does he really need to be that terrifying?

Lin Zhi’s heart churned wildly, yet her face remained utterly calm, "It should be possible. He also said that it’s probably this price."

Ji Liancheng nodded, took a check, quickly wrote it, and passed it to her.

"This is fifty million."

Then he wrote another one and handed it to her, "This is twenty million, your extra compensation."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji." Lin Zhi took the checks, secretly thrilled. Was she about to become a multimillionaire?

"You’re welcome, it’s what you deserve. Take a good rest tomorrow. There’s another deal the day after tomorrow, and I hope I can borrow your luck then." Ji Liancheng looked at her as he spoke.

His tone was as normal as ever, but Lin Zhi inexplicably felt that he emphasized the words "your luck" with a deeper meaning.

She hoped it was just her overthinking.

"Okay, when the time comes, could I bring Zhu Yuan? He has a lot of experience. Actually, he was the one who spotted those two raw stones. I have helped him before, and he wanted to repay me, so he specifically told me about it." Lin Zhi decided to credit all the merit to Zhu Yuan.

Even if he suspected her, so what?

Could he really believe she had some peculiar abilities?

As long as she didn’t admit it, no one would ever be certain!

In any case, she would never admit it!

"I see. That’s fine. I’ll arrange compensation for both of you then," Ji Liancheng agreed without any reaction.

Lin Zhi left with seventy million, feeling uneasy.

Ji Liancheng hadn’t noticed anything, had he? He must have believed her, right?

Oh well, never mind.

If he didn’t say anything, she would assume he knew nothing.

Besides, even if he suspected something, what could he do if she didn’t admit to it? The important thing was, she felt he wouldn’t harm her as long as she wasn’t his enemy. That was enough for her.

...

"Uncle Zhu, thank you for today. I’ve transferred two million into your account; this is your compensation," Lin Zhi said to Zhu Yuan when she saw him.

Zhu Yuan quickly waved his hand, "Miss Lin, you don’t need to pay me! I already owe you a favor, and this is what I should do! How could I have the face to take your money?"

"Take it. There will be many more opportunities for us to collaborate in the future. You’ve seen that I don’t want others to know I have this capability, so I need to use your name as a cover."

Zhu Yuan nodded in understanding, "I get it! Miss Lin, I must say, I didn’t expect you to be so gifted in this area. That said, the last Emperor Green was entirely yours. You could identify it yourself; you didn’t need my help at all. But you said nothing and gave all the money to me, I, I really don’t deserve your kindness..."

Lin Zhi: "..."

This was indeed a beautiful misunderstanding, but she couldn’t possibly clarify it.

"You were the one who spotted it first, so it also belongs to you. Don’t be modest. If you’re willing, I hope we can collaborate long-term."

Lin Zhi wouldn’t just attend this one stone gambling event.

She intended to participate every year.

When Zhu Yuan heard her say this, he eagerly nodded, "I’m willing! It’s an honor to collaborate with someone as capable as you. Miss Lin, thank you for giving me the chance to stand up again!"

This way, they both reached an agreement.

Lin Zhi also told him to join her at the trade fair the day after tomorrow, and Zhu Yuan agreed.
