Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Miss is so fierce (Extra chapter for guaranteed monthly votes)

Wang Haifeng was indeed taking a shower, and he wasn’t far from here – just five bus stops away.

However, the Li Dafu store was located in a busy downtown area with heavy traffic, so even though Coach Wang drove his Q7, it took him thirty minutes to get there. When he entered the store, his hair was still slightly damp.

Upon seeing the jade, Wang Haifeng’s face broke into a delighted smile. He hadn’t been into jade before and only knew it was quite expensive.

But ever since Feng Jun started selling jade, he began pondering over jade artifacts.

As a rich second generation who had nothing to do, one might not know how to make money, but not knowing how to spend it would be a laughing stock to others, wouldn’t it?

So he could roughly guess the price of the jade Feng Jun brought out, “Old Feng is really a good brother, way better than what he gave Sister Hong.”

Zhang Wei winked at him playfully, “Sister Hong only got a pair, while you’ve got quite a big piece.”

Wang Haifeng glanced at him suspiciously, “Are you… implying something with your words?”

After hearing what the jade was to be carved into, he was both annoyed and amused, “Old Feng you sly guy, since you’ve gifted the jade to me, it’s my business what I want to carve it into. I’m not carving it, not carving it… let’s go.”

Feng Jun spoke calmly, “If you don’t carve it, I won’t give it to you. The reason I called you over was to ask how to handle the details. Or… should we use yours as a template?”

“Get lost!” Wang Haifeng waved his hand in exasperation. Although he was usually reserved, he wasn’t brazen enough to agree to such a thing in person, “Is this just because you have money to burn?”

“Hey, I enjoy spending money,” Feng Jun pointed to Ye Qingyi, paused, then pointed to the tall and skinny man, “I’d like to give these two some money, and if you don’t let me, I won’t accept that.”

To tell the truth, he was also grateful to the tall and skinny man. If it hadn’t been for him practically giving away a Jade Gourd, he would have no idea how long it would take to make his first pot of gold.

Without the support of that first pot of gold, it would be even more uncertain how long it would take for him to reach his current position.

Wang Haifeng glanced at Ye Qingyi, knowing that this girl was close to Feng Jun. When he had brought Xia Xiaoyu to find someone, he had bumped into the two having dinner, “Xiao Yezi, are you just watching him squander money?”

“Xiao Yezi” is what you call her? Ye Qingyi mumbled to herself, though her face showed no expression, “I need to make money to buy a mobile phone.”

“What mobile phone do you want, just tell me,” Wang Haifeng held up two fingers, “I’ll buy you two, how about that? Two gold phones.”

Ye Qingyi glanced at him and answered indifferently, “Thank you, but I do not accept unearned rewards.”

Wang Haifeng turned to look at the tall man, thinking to persuade him, but then he thought, what’s there to say between two grown men? So he reluctantly faced Feng Jun, “I’m telling you… if you really carve that thing and give it to me, I’ll definitely have to rework it.”

Feng Jun spread his hands with an indifferent smile, “That’s up to you. After I give it to you, it’s your property.”

Wang Haifeng stomped his foot in frustration, “You just have to oppose me, don’t you? Spending money to annoy me, can you tell me, what have I done to you?”

“Nothing,” Feng Jun shook his head, his smile shining brilliantly, “I just think your household lacks vitality… you need some Yang to stabilize it.”

“It’s you who lack vigor! I’m very vigorous!” Wang Haifeng glared, angry yet amused. As long as he didn’t mess around outside, he lived like an emperor at home. But people really enjoy provoking others… he just couldn’t help wanting to have fun outside.

Since there was no way to justify himself in this situation, he could only grudgingly concede, “Worst comes to worst, I’ll just scrape off the outer layer and re-carve something else.”

The tall man was shocked at his words, “You must be joking, right? That’s top-quality Hetian Jade. If you remove a layer, its value, its value, its value…”

“Its value will shrink, I know,” Wang Haifeng waved dismissively, expressing his generous attitude, “No problem, money can solve everything, and since the jade is mine, I can do whatever I want with it.”

“But…” The tall man’s expression looked very distressed, “Such fine jade is truly hard to come by. To waste and squander it is a crime.”

By the end of his plea, he seemed almost in agony, clearly a jade lover expressing his innermost sorrow.

“Cut it out, there’s plenty of resources, we can’t waste them all,” Wang Haifeng waved unconcernedly, “You know? Principal Jiang smashes a Yuan blue-and-white porcelain when he’s unhappy, he smashes… We are far from that.”

The tall man, unable to comprehend such wasteful thinking, could only mutter softly, “That could be a loss of over a million, and you seem fine with it.”

“Psh,” Wang Haifeng snorted disdainfully, “Money can solve the problem…”

The next moment, his eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, “How much money did you say?”

Coach Wang might be a rich second generation, and tens of thousands might be nothing to him, but if it’s over a million… that would hurt.

Even though his dad was wealthy, Wang Haifeng didn’t work in the family business, and the money came from home, not earned by himself.

“Over a million,” the tall man looked at him thoughtfully, “Hmm… especially if the design turns out poorly.”

Got it, Coach Wang indicated that he understood in a second and immediately picked up the key point.

So he glanced at Feng Jun and said with a smile, “Lao Feng, I heard that the stock market has been doing well these past few days?”

Feng Jun noticed their little gestures, but it didn’t matter to him; his intention was purely to tease Coach Wang, so he replied with a smile, “Then why don’t you hurry up and send some money to Director Zhang?”

“Spare me, please,” Wang Haifeng said with a wry smile and hands raised, “The old man said if I dare touch stocks, he’d disinherit me… Xiao Wei knows too, right?”

Zhang Wei nodded and spoke gloomily, “The old man’s insight… How should I put it? He comes from a background in tangible industries.”

“You’re doing quite well,” Feng Jun said with a laugh, “Not conning the old man, just conning me?”

“Don’t be like that,” Zhang Wei said with wide eyes and a serious tone, “I’m not conning you. I came to you today for a different matter. If you don’t want to buy stocks, do you think I could hold a gun to your head to make you buy?”

Next was the valuation of the carving work. The tall and skinny man stated it would be at least one hundred thousand and included the rest of the leftover material, suggesting they would discuss further after the piece was completed if there were discrepancies.

Feng Jun did not bargain. He directly transferred one hundred thousand over and pointed at Xiao Yezi, “At least a twenty percent commission is fair, right?”

What could be the problem? Him not bargaining was already a huge favor.

Li Dafu had staff who came along to watch the excitement. Seeing the situation, he couldn’t help but smack his lips and went back to spread the word.

One wanted to carve something to give as a gift; the other planned to reprocess the gift after receiving it. You have to understand, that’s prime Hetian soft jade we’re talking about. The loss in the process would at least be in the tens of thousands.

Everyone agreed that poverty limited our imagination—the lives of the wealthy are indeed beyond our understanding.

After the money was paid, it was almost the end of the workday. Feng Jun glanced at Ye Qingyi and said with a smile, “Shall we find a place to eat something casual?”

Xiao Yezi looked at Zhang Wei and Wang Haifeng not far away and hesitated for a moment, “Don’t they… have something to talk to you about?”

“What could it be?” Feng Jun said nonchalantly, then added with a slight smile, “After dinner, shall we find a place to have some fun?”

Although he didn’t make it very clear, they were all adults. Could it be that they wouldn’t understand such matters?

Of course, if she pretended not to understand, Feng Jun couldn’t blame her for it, but then… there probably wouldn’t be a “later.”

Ye Qingyi was pretty straightforward. She pondered for a moment and then asked directly, “Let’s put it this way, what do you want me to be to you?”

Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and just gave a slight smile, “If you’re looking for a promise, I really can’t offer one. I live in the moment.”

Ye Qingyi nodded, “I understand. Are you interested in trying a trial marriage?”

Today’s concept of a trial marriage isn’t what it used to be. The traditional kind was when two people planning to get married lived together for a while to see if there were any intolerable quirks about each other, with the aim of eventually getting married.

The modern trial marriage means that we think of considering a serious relationship, being boyfriend and girlfriend, not just friends with benefits.

As for marriage? That’s a discussion for later. Who knows, maybe the world will end tomorrow.

Can’t help it, it’s the era of fast food and rapid relationships. Things really are different from before.

Feng Jun was stunned for a moment, “That… let’s talk about it in the car.”

Once in the car, the Great Wall SUV led the way, the Phaeton closely followed, and Wang Haifeng’s Q7 was behind.

After driving for a while, Feng Jun cleared his throat and said, “That, Xiao Yezi… I don’t have any plans for marriage at the moment.”

“Alright, I got it,” Ye Qingyi spoke calmly, “Refusing you seems a bit impolite… So I’ll grant you this once, but before midnight, I have to go home to feed my cat.”

Could you be… any more of a buzzkill? Feng Jun glanced at her, “I was thinking of a mutually beneficial arrangement. If you’re not interested, let’s forget it.”

“Forget it?” Ye Qingyi widened her eyes and asked seriously, “Wouldn’t that be very impolite?”

I really don’t know whose manners are like this, Feng Jun was somewhat speechless.

Some people talk themselves to death, and he certainly had a taste of it today.

Ye Qingyi, however, didn’t think she was being inappropriate at all. After a while, she murmured, “If you’re unhappy, then I don’t want the commission… I just want to find someone decent to marry. Is that wrong?”
