message of 8.5 million, had her clear eyes brimming with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Zhang Yusheng and said, “Thank you for the hard work, Boss Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you please cut open the second piece of rough for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Yusheng saw An Yiqing effortlessly lifting up a rough stone weighing about thirty catties, he couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked frail, but in person, she was quite the contrary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly took the rough from her, fearing An Yiqing might accidentally drop it on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Zhang, cut along the lines I’ve drawn and then grind it with the abrasive wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be careful,” An Yiqing instructed as she marked a few lines on the stone with a marker pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yusheng listened attentively and did not underestimate her due to her young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not everyone around shared the same sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the girl seemed knowledgeable, what could she possibly know at such a young age?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last stone was just a stroke of luck, they thought, and now they were curious to see what she could manage this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that a person’s thinking dictates their perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who dismiss grapes as sour when they can’t eat them will forever live in envy and scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yusheng, following An Yiqing’s instructions, picked up the stone-cutting machine and made a cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of purple light instantly poured forth, with florets drifting in a shallow purple hue on a crystal clear jade base, adorned with faint orchids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The texture was delicate and translucent, and the dignified purple, like a noble lady of high birth, revealed its unique mysterious charm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a High Ice Type Floating Orchid Violet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that uncovering a football-sized piece of Huangyang Green was already a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violet is scarce and High Ice Type Violet is even more of a rarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the market, a golden-mounted High Ice Type Purple Violet pendant could sell for an astronomical price, and the piece of Violet that Zhang Yusheng had just cut was about the size of a large bowl’s mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a piece of Violet could sell for at least twenty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yusheng was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers’ jaws dropped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy smokes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High Ice Type Floating Orchid Violet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good Heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t believe this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, give me my medicine, my heart is troubling me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make way, make way, let me see, step aside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked and in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had such top-quality jade become as common as cabbage, where any random piece of rough could reveal a piece of Violet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way people looked at An Yiqing began to change slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the girl’s eye for quality, the luck of consecutively uncovering two pieces of top-grade jade was unmatched by ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who said she was mindless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only does she have a mind, it works better than any of theirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, are you selling this piece of Violet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll buy it, and I’m telling you, no one better compete with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you even afford it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t create trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of my way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, amid the noise and commotion of the crowd, An Yiqing sold the piece of Violet for an impressive twenty-three million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yusheng felt somewhat numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two pieces of jade that were cut had been picked by this girl from the rejected stones, and their combined price was less than one million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, their value had skyrocketed thirtyfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stall owner Boss Wang was green with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had he not noticed these two pieces of exceptional rough in his pile of rejected stones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had mistaken jewels for fish eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually sold two pieces of jade rough worth over thirty million for less than a million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how much Boss Wang regretted, the two pieces of jade already had their owners, and An Yiqing was the biggest winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the string of zeros on the text message, An Yiqing was very happy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the effect she wanted had not yet been achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main event of the day was just beginning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you please help carry this stone to the Stone-Cutting Table?” An Yiqing politely asked the staff, patting the last rough stone she was going to unveil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone “wow”ed and the place erupted into excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone An Yiqing was about to unveil was the large rough stone bought from Boss Wang’s family for a high price of 6.5 million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>6.5 million, even for the wealthy, is no small sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how rich one is, spending that amount still hurts a little, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that 6.5 million could earn a return, one could be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it turned out to be for naught, that would be truly tear-inducing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a scenario, not to mention the onlookers, even Zhang Yuksheng, who had just unearthed two pieces of top-grade jade, felt a bit jittery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t one of those worthless stones from before; this was a real investment of 6.5 million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this is the thrilling part of jade gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winners always want to win more, and losers are forever hoping for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cut could break you, another could make your fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first cut, you might be worth millions, but with the second, you might lose it all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Yiqing remained calm and collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently patted Zhang Yuksheng’s shoulder and said, “Boss Zhang, you have to believe in miracles.” Her voice was soft, but it struck Zhang Yuksheng like a wake-up call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the girl in front of him had already carved out two top-grade jades; she herself was a miracle, and he should believe in her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, you tell me, how should I cut it?” Zhang Yuksheng’s spirits lifted and he rolled up his sleeves eagerly, appearing ready to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Yuksheng’s rejuvenated spirit, An Yiqing felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One should not fear failure; the real fear is not daring to start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuksheng had adjusted quickly; his mental strength was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Zhang, this time we don’t need the Stone-Cutting Machine to cut, just use sandpaper to grind it slowly,” she instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuksheng was somewhat surprised at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rough stone weighed at least a hundred pounds, and its large size was evident; if anyone else had asked him to rub such a large stone with sandpaper bit by bit, Zhang Yuksheng would have thought they were joking with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he believed this girl’s words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuksheng did as An Yiqing instructed, holding a large piece of sandpaper and rubbing it carefully against the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the stunned gazes of the onlookers, the originally dark stone gradually revealed a glint of green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhang Yuksheng quickened his pace, yet remained steady as he rubbed open a larger window, and poured on a handful of clean water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling, rich green light burst forth as if splitting the clouds to reveal the sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of green was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rich and enticing, crystal clear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No words could describe such beauty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Pit Glass Type Imperial Green!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from one window, everyone present could ascertain that it was Old Pit Glass Type Imperial Green!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke, and the surroundings centered around An Yiqing fell utterly silent, as if even their breathing had lightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuksheng steadied himself, his trembling hands becoming even more careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour felt like a century to those watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuksheng finally unveiled all the jade, and by then, he was exhausted and drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhilarating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never felt as thoroughly elated as he did today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Zhang Yuksheng’s careful polishing, the large piece of jade finally revealed its true face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-03T06:08:37.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","23fed7d713bc18029eb824061225c4b46a07f90f07d70baa26cef4948b3ff90a","pampered-poisonous-royal-wife-o-chapter-43","pampered-poisonous-royal-wife-o-chapter-41",2225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpampered-poisonous-royal-wife-o-cover.jpg"]
