332: Chapter 332 A Triumphant Return

Liu Hui lifted her chin, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Let's wait a bit and go eat noodles. I suddenly feel like having noodles."

Shen Yan readily agreed.

Lao Sheng, who was listening to the two of them chatting quietly nearby: "..."

Wake up!

Is this the time to discuss where to eat?

You two just unearthed a Glass Type Emperor Green!

Shen Yan and Liu Hui couldn't hear Lao Sheng's internal roar. After discussing where to eat later, they got up and prepared to leave the private room.

Before leaving, Shen Yan glanced at Lao Sheng and asked him, "Do you want to come eat with us?"

Lao Sheng shook his head and replied, "I'm going to keep browsing the rough stone market for a while longer to see if there are any stones I can pick up for a bargain."

Hearing this, Shen Yan nodded without saying much.

Although he had a good impression of Lao Sheng because Lao Sheng had helped them with some things, they were ultimately not on the same path.

Since they weren't on the same path, it was best to part ways sooner rather than later.

Thinking this, he took Liu Hui's hand and said to Lao Sheng, "Thank you for your help and explanations today. We'll be leaving now."

Lao Sheng nodded to the two of them.

Having wandered outside for so many years, encounters and partings had long become things he was intimately familiar with.

He said to the two people in front of him very readily, "Alright, you two go ahead. We'll meet again if fate allows."

The three parted ways.

Shen Yan and Liu Hui went to see the manager of the auction house.

"Do you want the jade in my hands?"

The auction house manager was stunned for quite a while upon hearing his question.

"You mean... you want to sell the jade you cut to us?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"If you want it, I can sell it to you."

As soon as the words fell, a flash of joy crossed the manager's face.

"Of course we want it!"

"Uh... please wait a moment, I'll go find the boss!"

With that, the manager immediately took off with his short little legs and dashed rapidly backstage.

It happened almost instantly.

Not long after, the manager returned, bringing a short and fat little round ball with him. He breathlessly introduced the little round ball next to him to Shen Yan and Liu Hui.

"This... this is the boss of our auction house. His surname is Xia. You can just call him Boss Xia..."

Shen Yan nodded and extended his hand to shake the other's.

"My surname is Shen."

The little round ball chuckled and pushed up his glasses with his finger.

"Are you sure you want to sell all the jade you have to us?"

Shen Yan nodded without hesitation.

"I'm an outsider and don't understand these things very well, nor do I want the hassle. If you're taking them, just take all the jade I have."

Boss Xia replied with a chuckle, "No problem. I just don't know your intended price..."

Shen Yan: "How much can you offer?"

Boss Xia hesitated for a moment.

He felt that Shen Yan and Liu Hui didn't look like people who understood the trade.

But he was also afraid of misjudging the situation.

After all, no novice could buy several pieces of high-quality jade right away.

Just as he was hesitating, Shen Yan added a sentence.

"We have come with sincerity. If you can offer a price that satisfies us, then we will complete the transaction right here."

The meaning of this sentence was clear: don't try to rip them off.

If the other party couldn't offer the premium they wanted, they would just leave immediately.

Boss Xia truly understood his meaning.

After hearing his words, Boss Xia immediately proposed a price very close to Shen Yan's psychological expectation.

Because it was close to the expected price, Shen Yan didn't haggle and agreed directly.

Seeing this, Boss Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he hadn't assumed Shen Yan was an uninformed person just now and deliberately suppressed the price.

If he had done that, Shen Yan probably wouldn't have even given him a chance to adjust the price and would have just turned and walked away.

Just as he was congratulating himself for making the right decision, Shen Yan pulled out his phone.

"How shall we handle the transaction? Do you need my Bank card number?"

Hearing the question, Boss Xia nodded and turned to tell his manager, "Go call the Finance Department over."

Half an hour later.

The transaction was completed by both parties.

After successfully concluding the deal, Boss Xia extended his hand towards Shen Yan, who was preparing to leave.

"Thank you very much for being willing to trust us and cooperate with us. We welcome you to come again next time."

Shen Yan clasped Boss Xia's hand and nodded, "I will if I have the chance."

Hearing this, Boss Xia immediately seized the opportunity and took out his phone, saying, "Since that's the case, let's exchange contact information. If you wish to come again later, just tell me directly, and I'll have someone send you an invitation!"

Shen Yan had no objection.

After exchanging contact information, Shen Yan and Liu Hui were personally escorted out the main door by the manager and the auction house boss.

"Oh my god, their send-off is quite grand!"

It wasn't until the auction house building was completely out of sight that Liu Hui whispered to Shen Yan.

Hearing Liu Hui's words, Shen Yan replied with a smile, "If a guest can make them money, shouldn't their send-off be a bit grander?"

Although the price Boss Xia gave him was fair, the jade's price would surely multiply several times after passing through Boss Xia's hands.

If it weren't for his laziness and the company matters he had to attend to, he definitely would have found his own channels to liquidate those pieces of jade.

Just as the two of them were about to find a noodle shop nearby to eat, Shen Yan's phone rang. It was Chen Guangke calling.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me while I'm out?"

A bitter laugh came from the phone: "I didn't want to disturb your date with Sister-in-law, but Gu Hui keeps calling and urging me..."

Shen Yan frowned.

"Gu Hui is calling to urge you?"

Chen Guangke made an "Mm" sound.

"He keeps calling the company phone about the project. I told him you were out, but he wouldn't listen at all. He said he needs it right now."

"But the matters at the Branch Company haven't been completely settled yet. We can't start work right now..."

As the words trailed off, Shen Yan fell silent for a while.

Not long after, he sighed and said to Chen Guangke, "I understand. I'll be back as soon as possible. You hold steady for now. If he keeps calling to urge you, just tell him I'm almost back."

Chen Guangke also sighed.

"Sigh, as expected, a balance between career and love can never truly be achieved."

If Chen Guangke hadn't been off the phone and out of Shen Yan's sight, Shen Yan would have definitely kicked him.

"Tsk! Stop lamenting these life theories in front of me. Back off!"

Hearing this, Chen Guangke snorted and hung up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, Shen Yan saw Liu Hui's bright, shining eyes. He cleared his throat guiltily and said to Liu Hui,

"There's a bit of a situation at the company, so..."
