Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

317: Chapter 0317: Master 317: Chapter 0317: Master “Psh, just taking a cursory look, right?” Even though Su Ziyan knew that Qin Yu might have everything under control, she couldn’t resist the urge to take a jab at him.

Qu Qicong gently shook his head, following up on Su Ziyan’s comment: “He did look indeed, but he hardly went in-depth.

Mr.

Qin, with your abilities, you could easily pass the preliminaries without doing all this unnecessary work.”

Qin Yu laughed, “Qu Qicong, this isn’t unnecessary.

How could I find two more Stone Kings without looking through the hundred-plus exhibit halls?

How would I have the confidence to make you the top of the preliminary round?

I’m a bit of an obsessive person; if I do something, I have to do it to the best of my ability.”

Find two more Stone Kings?

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief!

Qu Qicong said with a smile, “Mr.

Qin, if you really do select two Stone Kings during the preliminaries, those Stone Kings are yours.”

“How could I take advantage of you like that, Qu Qicong?

Let’s stick to the usual rules.

We’ll each make two sets of jewelry from each Stone King, and we can each have one set.

It just so happens that my wife needs a set of jadeite jewelry.”

Qin Yu looked at Su Ziyan with a cheeky grin—this was killing two birds with one stone, as it pleased Su Ziyan and helped him get on good terms with Qu Qicong.

“Psh, who needs it?” Su Ziyan rolled her eyes at Qin Yu, but inside she was quite happy.

Qu Qicong hurriedly shook his head: “How could Mr.

Qin be taking advantage of me?

I’m clearly the one taking advantage of Mr.

Qin!

Let’s do this, no matter how many sets of jewelry are made from the two Stone Kings, I just want one set.

The rest can go to Miss Su, Miss Li, and Manager Chi.”

“That works,” Qin Yu nodded, not insisting any further.

“Director Qin, you’ve worked hard.

Have some tea.”

Chi Yanyan simply worshipped Qin Yu like a god.

In just one short afternoon, booth number 52 experienced a miraculous revival!

She had made back all the money she’d lost, and as one could imagine, gripping that five percent equity tightly, good days were ahead!

Even Chi Yanyan began to consider whether she and Zhou Tianlei could really come together.

…

Ever since Hu Zhuoqing became an apprentice to the Stone King in Capital City, this was the first time he had been in such a dire state!

This was an absolute nightmare of a day.

Hu Zhuoqing wandered aimlessly through Feng’s Manor’s woods, not knowing where he was headed.

Before he knew it, Hu Zhuoqing found himself on the back mountain, at the edge of a cliff.

Looking down at the pitch-black precipice, Hu Zhuoqing felt a sudden urge to jump!

“Why?

Why on earth?

I’ve devoted nearly ten years to studying the art of stone gambling and yet I’ve suffered such a crushing defeat.

What’s the point of living?”

Hu Zhuoqing abruptly lifted his leg and leaped forward without hesitation!

After taking that step, Hu Zhuoqing felt an immense sense of relief.

Just die!

Death would put an end to everything!

What puzzled Hu Zhuoqing was that he didn’t feel the sensation of falling.

Instead, his clothes were grabbed by an aged but powerful hand!

Looking back, Hu Zhuoqing saw a familiar face.

The person who had grabbed his clothes was none other than his master, the Stone King of Capital City, Wang Yuan.

Invited by Luo City’s Stone King Huang Kun to be a guest, Wang Yuan had come to Luo City and followed Huang Kun to Feng’s Manor.

At dinner in the manor, Wang Yuan heard his disciple Hu Zhuoqing’s name mentioned multiple times.

What frustrated Wang Yuan was that when people mentioned his disciple, it wasn’t in admiration but in ridicule!

Wang Yuan couldn’t accept this!

Feeling upset, Wang Yuan walked alone on a mountain path to clear his mind, and by sheer coincidence, he stumbled upon his disheartened disciple.

Wang Yuan didn’t alert his disciple and quietly followed him.
