“What? You want to do business?” Leng Changyuan felt that it was unbelievable.
“Yeah, grandpa, I hope you can support me,” Leng Xiaoyao said, looking at Leng Changyuan in excitement. Leng Changyuan immediately gave in, but he still had some worries.
“But it’s not easy to run a business, especially in the jewelry industry,” Leng Changyuan said. He didn’t want to disappoint Leng Xiaoyao, he was simply being realistic. “Jewelry isn’t a daily necessity and is very expensive. Not everyone can afford it. Only rich people are potential customers. Although there are many rich people in our country, there are many jewelry brands. Rich people prefer famous brands.”
“Grandpa, I know, but no one knows whether I’ll succeed if I don’t try! Anyway, you should be aware of my ability to stone-gamble. It won’t cost me much. Even if I don’t succeed, I won’t lose a lot of money. I know when to stop if it’s not profitable,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
Before Leng Xiaoyao was confident that the game produced by her company could become popular and could be a platform, she honestly didn’t think that she could successfully build a jewelry brand. She wouldn’t make such a decision either. However, now she had the game as a platform, so she didn’t need to be worried.
Even if she couldn’t start a big business, she wouldn’t lose money.
Leng Changyuan agreed with her, so he understood at once. “You’re right. If so, you can do whatever you want. As long as you have the ability, don’t lose your confidence even if this business fails. Am I clear? If this business isn’t profitable, you can try another one.”
Leng Changyuan wasn’t worrying about the business right now, instead he was worried about Leng Xiaoyao’s mental state. After all, many people lost their confidence and hope after failing to run a business.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, I have confidence in myself. Even if I fail, I can bear it. I can easily make over ten million yuan by cutting out a piece of jade! Even if I lose, I can bear the consequences,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
“Don’t be unrealistically optimistic. Do you think you can continue to cut out jade after getting a few pieces? What if you can’t cut out another piece? What would you do then?” Leng Changyuan disagreed. He didn’t want to rain on Leng Xiaoyao’s parade, but she seemed a little too self-confident. If she couldn’t succeed again, she might lose her mental balance.
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, grandpa. Now, let’s go cut those raw jade materials!” Leng Xiaoyao stopped talking to Leng Changyuan because she couldn’t tell him everything. She could only set his mind at east by action.
Leng Changyuan stopped worrying about the business and wanted to see how many pieces of jade Leng Xiaoyao could get.
He hoped that she could cut out jade from most of the raw jade materials, but he didn’t think it was possible.
However, the truth was that there was jade in every raw jade material and the jade was of high quality. Leng Xiaoyao simply couldn’t tell them right now, or they would be suspicious.
Shen Xiyin was surprised to see a large pile of raw jade materials after opening the door of the underground room. “There are a lot! When can we get jade by cutting them?”
Shen Xiyin believed that there could be jade in some of them, but how much could there be? She thought that the probability was 10% at most.
She had confidence in Leng Xiaoyao, but stone-gambling was really too difficult. Even in West Zhejiang, the probability was only about 10% and that was already unbelievable.
She grew up in Province Yun and had never heard that someone could cut out that much jade.
Even famous stone-gambling experts could only cut out three pieces of jade out of five raw jade materials once, and the jade would be at middle level.
Anyway, that was already rare.
Leng Xiaoyao smiled and said nothing. Sometimes, actions spoke louder than words. No matter what she said, it was useless. As long as she could really cut out jade, it would prove everything.
“Grandpa, it will be noisy when we cut these raw jade materials. Will that be a problem?” Although she knew that Leng Changyuan didn’t care, she still asked out of respect.
“It’s not a problem at all! You can cut them as long as you want,” said Leng Changyuan. It wasn’t a big deal even if it was a little noisy.
“Yaoyao, don’t worry, the underground was a soundproof room. Although it can’t completely stop the sound from going out, it’s effective and won’t affect other people,” said Leng Yecheng.
“Great, then I don’t need to worry about it,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Afterwards, she plugged it in, then picked up a raw jade material containing strong magical power to cut.
“Can you do that? Do you need your uncle or someone who has the skill to help you?” asked Leng Changyuan worriedly.
“I can do this.” Leng Xiaoyao beamed. After that, she turned it on and started working.
Once the machine was turned on, it was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the house.
The domestic servants felt nothing, but Song Meiyu was talking with Leng Yuqi. Song Meiyu was already irritated since Leng Yuqi refused to give her a response, so she was angered by the noise.
The noise wasn’t that loud, but it still bothered her.
As a result, Song Meiyu walked out to have a look.
On the second floor, she met Leng Yehua who walked out of the study, so she asked, “What is that noise?”
“I don’t know.” Leng Yehua was also displeased. He was in a worse mood because of the noise.
They went to the living room and asked a maid, “What’s happening? Where are the noises coming from?”
“They’re from the underground room. Master Leng, Lord Yecheng, and Miss Xiaoyao are there,” said the maid.
Hearing that, Song Meiyu and Leng Yehua immediately thought of those raw jade materials. Leng Xiaoyao and the others must be cutting them.
Didn’t Leng Xiaoyao say that those raw jade materials belonged to Li Mochen? Why were they cutting them then? Or did they actually belong to Leng Xiaoyao instead of Li Mochen?
Song Meiyu and Leng Yehua already had doubts, so they weren’t surprised even if it turned out to be true. However, they, especially Song Meiyu, got jealous upon thinking that there was jade in those raw jade materials.
Song Meiyu hoped that there was no jade.
Anyway, it wasn’t up to them. Therefore, they walked to the underground room to check the situation.
Unfortunately, the door of the underground room was locked, so they couldn’t go inside. Song Meiyu was mad.
“Why did they lock the door? Are they afraid that we’ll see something or what?” Song Meiyu exclaimed angrily.
“Let’s go!” Leng Yehua was also unhappy, but he wasn’t as angry as Song Meiyu. Since the door was closed, he wouldn’t go in.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
