I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 417 Making You Empress

"Xiao Wei, you know so much about jade? Don't tell me this is a coincidence." If Chen Wei said it was a coincidence that he won one out of six pieces, or two out of six, Su Qingyue might believe him.

Six out of six pieces, and all of them are top-quality jade. There's no way Su Qingyue would believe that.

Things are definitely not that simple.

"I've done some research, nothing to brag about." Now that he'd laid his cards on the table, Chen Wei wasn't going to try to hide anything.

I'm not pretending anymore, I am a jade master!
"You call this 'some research'? If those real jade masters heard you say that, they'd probably be so angry they'd vomit blood on the spot," Su Qingyue laughed.

"Actually, there are many ways to identify jade. As long as you grasp the underlying principles, it's not difficult to do so," Chen Wei said casually.

"For example?" Su Qingyue pressed.

"For example..." Chen Wei was speechless. He did know a lot of jade gambling techniques, but to be able to hit the mark every time with those techniques was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Chen Wei only wanted to say something profound to make himself seem important, but who knew Su Qingyue would ask such probing questions.

"It's complicated, and it can't be explained in just a few words," Chen Wei said, making an excuse.

He could usually fool most people, but Chen Wei wasn't really confident about Su Qingyue's situation.

After all, he's a jewelry merchant; what if he accidentally lets something slip?
It's best to keep quiet when you should.

"Then teach me again another time when you have time," Su Qingyue offered Chen Wei a way out.

"Okay, okay," Chen Wei said with a forced smile.

"Oh right! We agreed that I would treat you to the fun, so why did you pay without even asking me?" Su Qingyue began to settle scores.

“Uh…” Chen Wei’s brain worked quickly, and then he selected a reply: “My money is mine, and my sister’s money is also mine. Whichever I spend, it’s all mine, so there’s no difference.”

Is saying this... a bit too arrogant?
Will I get beaten up?
“That’s not wrong,” Su Qingyue nodded in agreement.

She's definitely the nation's best sister!
It was sealed by Chen Wei.

"Sir, Madam, please wait!" At that moment, an old man's voice rang out from behind.

Chen Wei turned around and looked, but he didn't recognize the person.

“Old Zhang!” However, Su Qingyue was very familiar with this person.

To say I'm familiar with him is mostly because I've only seen him in magazines. He is Zhang Jingzhong, the foremost jade carver in China.

"Isn't this President Su? What a coincidence." Zhang Jingzhong only recognized Su Qingyue now; before that, his attention had been focused on Chen Wei.

"Old Zhang, is there something you need from us?" Su Qingyue asked proactively.

"Actually, I saw what you two were doing gambling on the stones. The reason I came here is to ask if Young Master Chen is interested in selling those six pieces of jade to me?" Zhang Jingzhong stated his purpose directly.

Chen Wei glanced at Su Qingyue and then said, "I can give it to Elder Zhang, but in return, Elder Zhang must agree to two conditions."

"Oh! What are the conditions? Tell me." Zhang Jingzhong didn't expect Chen Wei to say that.

"Of the six jade stones, I'll keep three, give three to Old Zhang, and Old Zhang can carve the remaining three into the patterns I need," Chen Wei said, stating the first point.

“That’s no problem, but what about the second one?” Zhang Jingzhong asked again.

"I suppose my sister has contacted you recently to discuss a collaboration, but you declined, right? I hope you can agree," Chen Wei stated bluntly.

"no problem."

Seeing Zhang Jingzhong nod, Su Qingyue excitedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you really willing to endorse our product?"

“Actually, I had been paying attention to the jade jewelry launched by Qingshi Group before. To be honest, among jade merchants, you are truly dedicated. Both the craftsmanship and the jade materials are top-notch. I had been considering this for a while, and I decided to buy it now.” The most important reason, of course, is that top-quality jade is extremely rare. “Thank you very much for your trust, Mr. Zhang. Rest assured, Qingshi will absolutely not let you down.” Su Qingyue assured Zhang Jingzhong.

Afterwards, Chen Wei handed all the jade stones in his hand to Zhang Jingzhong, and then picked out the three pieces he wanted to keep.

After exchanging contact information, Chen Wei and Su Qingyue watched Zhang Jingzhong leave.

"Xiaowei, how did you figure out that I needed Zhang Lao's help?" Su Qingyue was very curious about this.

"It's just a gut feeling, maybe it's because I know you too well?" Chen Wei wasn't really sure either.

"So confident, daring to say you understand me, you're so arrogant!" Su Qingyue imitated the tone of a delinquent girl in a TV series.

She ended up making herself laugh; she really wasn't suited to this style.

"But I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't think Old Zhang would have agreed to be the spokesperson so easily." Su Qingyue got back to the main topic.

"So, which of those times was a fake thank you?" Chen Wei asked seriously.

"..." Su Qingyue, "Do you always chat with girls like this?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Chen Wei asked matter-of-factly.

"I finally understand why you're still single even though you're so outstanding." Su Qingyue walked ahead, her steps light and graceful.

"I'm single so that it's easier for the people around me to make a move."

"Which person close to you?" Su Qingyue asked, "At this moment, or in the future?"

"That's a lot."

"Pah, scumbag!" Su Qingyue laughed.

"A scumbag is someone who deceives other people's feelings. I didn't deceive anyone, so how can I be considered a scumbag? It's the same principle as not paying for prostitution."

Does not paying for prostitution mean it's not considered prostitution?

"What kind of logic is that?" Su Qingyue frowned slightly.

"A logic that doesn't make sense," Chen Wei said mysteriously.

"Be careful, you might get stabbed one day. Women can be terrifying when they're angry," Su Qingyue warned.

"That's alright, I can fight. I can take on a hundred, no, a thousand!" Chen Wei said, while demonstrating his punches and kicks with great force.

"A thousand? Do you want to be the emperor?" Su Qingyue was both amused and exasperated when she heard Chen Wei say that.

"When the time comes, I'll make you, eldest sister, the empress and help me manage the three palaces and six courtyards. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Chen Wei continued to joke.

"Let's talk about it after you've done it." Su Qingyue also took Chen Wei's words as a joke. "However, becoming the empress is not out of the question."

"We'll have to wait until I become emperor first. I'm thinking about where to buy an uninhabited continent. What do you think of the Arctic?" Chen Wei asked Su Qingyue seriously.

"Arctic?"

“Yes, the Arctic, you can see penguins every day.” Chen Wei nodded, sounding affected.

"Then I suggest you go to Antarctica, where you can see polar bears."

“Good advice!”
