章節 30: Ten Million Yuan
編輯: Henyee Translations
"No problem." Qin Yifan actually wanted to close this deal more than Gu Ning. He wanted to own the King's Green himself. "But Miss Gu, may I ask the source of this emerald?"
Qin Yifan needed to know whether this emerald was from a legal source, so he wouldn't get into any trouble because of it.
Gu Ning understood, so she didn't feel offended. "Please don't worry, it is from an absolute legal source," Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, Qin Yifan was relieved, "From the size and weight of this emerald, the market price would be over 10 million yuan. I will pay 10 million yuan for it. What would you say, Miss Gu?"
Although Gu Ning kind of knew the price of the King's Green, she was amazed by Qin Yifan's offer.
Gu Ning could sell it for an even higher price in the market, but she was satisfied with Qin Yifan's offer.
If she had brought it to another jewelry store, she probably wouldn't get such a generous offer.
Ten million yuan were beyond her anticipation. Gu Ning was satisfied of course.
Then they need to sign an agreement and transfer the money.
Once the agreement had been signed, both sides couldn't regret.
Gu Ning had signed the agreement and got the money, then was about to leave.
Qin Yifan stopped her on her way out, "Miss Gu, this is my name card. If you have any other emeralds of great quality, please feel free to call me."
Qin Yifan suddenly had the feeling that this girl wasn't an ordinary teenager. Besides, Gu Ning's good manners had impressed him.
"Sure," Gu Ning accepted his name card willingly.
She didn't need to tell him her phone number, because it was on the contract.
Qin Yifan didn't bring his sight back until Gu Ning disappeared. He barely could look away from the King's Green in his hand.
"Don't tell the chairman about this. I want to surprise him," Qin Yifan said to his staff. His father's sixtieth birthday was around the corner. He wanted to carve a small object from this King's Green, and give it to his father as a birthday gift.
Qin Yifan's father ran the business of jade. He had seen many kinds of jade. However, the King's Green was too rare that even Qin Yifan's father didn't have one.
Though Gu Ning pretended to be calm, she felt nervous indeed.
Two million. To be honest, she had never had that much money in hands in her last lifetime because of the control of the Tang family.
Gu Ning was nervous, excited and couldn't believe it was true.
She had checked the message several times, then accepted the fact. Gu Ning deleted the message afterwards in case someone else would find out.
Though two million were a lot for Gu Ning, it wasn't enough for a start-up.
She decided to use the two million as the fund of stone gambling.
Gu Ning had searched the Internet. The stone gambling market in City G was the nearest one to City F. It took an hour of flight to get there. Gu Ning made a decision that she was going to City G this weekend.
Without doubt, Gu Ning wanted to start up her business from the jewelry industry.
She had Jade Eyes, and could gain money without risking anything of her own.
Jewelry industry was just a beginning. Other industries would be involved in the future.
The Tang family was involved in the real estate and entertainment industries. Gu Ning was determined to take part in those two industries. She was going to win the Tang family.
Gu Ning also knew she must take it slowly. It wasn't easy to do a successful business. She needed both money and resources.
For example, if she planned to establish a jewelry company, she had to prepare a lot for it.
First was the source, then the store. After that, she needed to register a company. If she didn't know someone who was in charge, she wouldn't be able to finish it within a month.
Workers, like designers, managers and engraving artists, were also needed.
She was still a student now. It wasn't practical for her to manage the company on her own.
Thinking of all these, Gu Ning felt burdened, but she enjoyed it.
Moreover, after she went back home from City G with a large amount of money, she would to Gu Man something about what had happened. And she would buy Gu Man and the family of Gu Qing a house separately.
She also wanted Gu Man to quit her job, which was tiring and only paid peanuts.
If Gu Man was willing to be a housewife, Gu Ning was fine with that. If her mother wanted to develop her own interests, Gu Ning would support her mother too.
Gu Man could open a small store, and hired someone to look after it for her. She could visit the store and work for a while if she liked. All Gu Ning wanted was to let her mother live a relaxing life.
As for the family of Gu Qing, Gu Ning wouldn't support them the way she supported Gu Man. She would only financially supported them if they needed.
If they wanted to open a shop or a start-up, Gu Ning was willing to help them without payback.
It was still early, Gu Ning went to a bookstore. She bought several books on jade and stones, then she put those books into the telepathic eye space in a washroom. After that, she left the commercial building, and went straight to her school by taxi.
When Gu Ning was back at school, it was 2:20 pm, and 10 minutes away from the class. Gu Ning was on time.
However, Gu Ning encountered Qin Zheng and Gu Xiaoxiao when she went upstairs.
The minute Gu Xiaoxiao saw Gu Ning, she held Qin Zheng's arm and gave Gu Ning a provocative look.
Gu Ning was speechless. Did Gu Xiaoxiao really believe she still likes Qin Zheng?
Probably in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Gu Ning had liked Qin Zheng so much in the past, and it wasn't possible for her to forget him within a short time.
Even though Qin Zheng had broken her heart, it took time to recover from the pain.
Unfortunately, Gu Ning was different now. Qin Zheng was merely a stranger to her.
Accordingly, Gu Ning ignored them, going straight upstairs. Gu Xiaoxiao was mad though for she didn't see Gu Ning being upset.
But she still believed Gu Ning was pretending to be calm.
Qin Zheng, on the contrary, was extremely upset.
章節 31: Trouble From the Teacher
編輯: Henyee Translations
Though he didn't like Gu Ning, he couldn't accept the fact that the girl, who had loved him so much, would ignore him suddenly.
Qin Zheng was a selfish boy. He enjoyed being admired, and he was proud of himself being popular.
The minute Gu Ning walked into the classroom, Shao Feifei looked at her unkindly. Honestly, Gu Ning was so sick of it.
Yu Mixi immediately asked Gu Ning when she sat down, "Gu Ning, how's everything going?"
"Very well," Gu Ning replied.
The first class was English class. The teacher unexpectedly found fault with Gu Ning.
Gu Ning knew the teacher did it on purpose for a reason.
It was said that their English teacher, Chen Ming, was Chen Ziyao's uncle. Chen Ziyao must have told Chen Ming to pick on Gu Ning.
"Gu Ning, translate this sentence into English," Chen Ming said.
Gu Ning was well-known for her poor English. Chen Ming deliberately asked her to translate a whole paragraph. Even the student with the highest level of English in their class wouldn't be able to that.
If one could translate two-thirds, he or she would do a fantastic job already.
Thus, everyone knew Chen Ming was intentionally finding fault with Gu Ning.
Although not knowing the reason, Shao Feifei and her friends were all pleased to see that. However, Gu Ning stood up calmly with confidence.
A paragraph of authentic English came out from Gu Ning's mouth, which shocked everyone. Even Chen Ming, who was the English teacher, couldn't do the same.
Gu Ning was poor in English before, but now, Gu Ning was different. English was her second language because she had received the training abroad in her last incarnation.
In a foreign country for 10 years, it was fair enough that she could speak authentic English.
If you didn't look at her face, you would mistake her for a native English-speaker.
After the shock, Shao Feifei and her friends were utterly upset with envy and jealousy.
Why? How come Gu Ning's English became so good?
Chen Ming wore a displeased face. He now felt he had embarrassed himself.
He had intended to pick on Gu Ning and remain decent at the same time.
Though he was unhappy, he had to admit that Gu Ning had done a better job than him. So, he gave up his plan afterwards to save face.
After the class, Yu Mixi looked at Gu Ning with great admiration and excitement, "Gu Ning, I have no idea that your English is so good!"
"I can teach you if you want!" Gu Ning said.
"Of course, please!" Yu Mixi was thrilled, because her English was poor as well.
"So what? The poor girl is always the poor girl, no matter how good her English is." Shao Feifei couldn't stand that Gu Ning had won again. In her eyes, a poor girl could never change her fate.
"Exactly," Yang Yulu and Wu Qingya agreed. They had been with Shao Feifei for too long to have a clear understanding of themselves.
Gu Ning didn't care at all, while Yu Mixi felt attacked.
The minute Chen Ming went back to his office, he sent a message to Chen Ziyao saying Gu Ning's English was too good to pick on.
Chen Ziyao received the message, feeling irritated and disappointed, but Chen Ming clearly told her it wouldn't work, so she had to give up.
The afternoon classes passed quickly. Before Gu Ning and Yu Mixi left their classroom, Mu Ke was already standing outside waiting for them, along with noisy discussions from many girls.
"Wow, he's Mu Ke from the first classroom. Why is he here?"
"Is he here for a girl in our class?"
"Who will she be? I'm jealous!"
"Exactly, I hope he's here for me."
"In your dreams. You're definitely not his type!"
…
Though Mu Ke wasn't the most handsome boy in their school, he was outstanding enough. He was good at studying and basketball, plus a great family background, thus he was famous in 12th grade.
"Mu Ke, who are you here for?"
Gu Ning and Yu Mixi went outside. Meanwhile, Shao Feifei walked to Mu Ke and asked him the question.
Shao Feifei looked shy. She now was nothing like the arrogant girl in normal days. Gu Ning instantly knew Shao Feifei liked Mu Ke.
Unfortunately, Mu Ke didn't like her.
"I'm here for…" Mu Ke wasn't arrogant, nor gentle, but he treated others with good manners.
Thus he didn't ignore Shao Feifei's question.
But before he could answer the question, he saw Gu Ning and Yu Mixi coming out. He immediately walk to them and left Shao Feifei alone, "Hey boss, Mixi, let's go dine together!"
Boss? Everyone around was astonished, and their eyes all rounded in surprise. They glanced at Mu Ke, then Gu Ning.
What? Boss? Why did Mu Ke called Gu Ning "Boss"?
What was going on?
"Let's go!" Gu Ning ignored everyone who was in shock, and left with Mu Ke together with Yu Mixi.
After Gu Ning and her friends were gone for a while, everyone then got their mind back, and started to gossip.
"What? Did I hear it right? Mu Ke called Gu Ning his boss?"
"You've heard it right, because we all have heard it."
"But, it's so unreal! What has happened?"
"Who knows!"
"Does Mu Ke like Gu Ning? Though Gu Ning is poor, she is pretty!"
"Then why did Mu Ke called her his boss?"
"Probably it's their way of romance!"
…
At the same time, Shao Feifei was more than annoyed. She yelled to herself in her heart with anger. She liked Mu Ke so much. Why would the boy choose Gu Ning?
Gu Ning was nobody. She was merely a poor girl, and wasn't qualified to compare with Shao Feifei.
Obviously, Shao Feifei believed Mu Ke admired Gu Ning.
She wouldn't accept the fact, and she was determined to pay Gu Ning back.
But, who would be the one to pay for it was still an unclear answer. Gu Ning apparently wasn't the one.
Gu Ning couldn't care less about how people might gossip. Three of them went straight to the second floor. This meal was on Mu Ke as well.
Yu Mixi felt a little uncomfortable, but Gu Ning was totally at ease.
Qin Zheng, Zhang Yiming, Fu Mingliang, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao were all rich kids. They all came to the private cafeteria to eat. When Gu Ning and her friends arrived, the two groups met each other.
