My Sexy CEO Wife

"Over a hundred million? Can it really sell for that much?" Gao Fei exclaimed in surprise.

"It should be possible," Shen Caidie said with a smile and a nod.

"If it really sells for a billion, that would be great, my company wouldn't be short of money then," Gao Fei laughed heartily.

"I've been running my company for so many years and only managed to make tens of millions in total. And here you are, making billions in just a few days. It's just infuriating how some people make it look so easy," Shen Caidie lamented, "I feel a bit imbalanced about this."

"How about this, when the six pieces of jade are sold, I'll share some with you," Gao Fei said. "I can't let you help for nothing."

"How could I accept that?" Shen Caidie promptly refused, "We had an agreement. You help to appraise stones for my company, and I process your jade for free. How can we go back on our word? That is absolutely not acceptable!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Shen Caidie interrupted Gao Fei, "I'm definitely not going to take a penny from you!" She paused before adding, "If you feel bad about it, then just appraise more stones for me and help me make some more money."

"No problem," Gao Fei agreed readily.

"Oh, right, there was something I almost forgot to tell you." Shen Caidie slapped her forehead, "My memory is getting worse and worse... In just over a month, the Myanmar Jadeite Public Market event will be happening. I'd like to invite you to come along and help me select some more good raw stones."

"Even if you didn't mention it, I'd still want to go," Gao Fei said with a smile.

"Then it's settled, no going back on your word."

"I won't back out."

"Alright, I have some work to deal with, so let's leave it there for now." After saying this, Shen Caidie hung up the phone, placed the mobile on the table, and then carried her cup towards the water dispenser.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Shen Caidie first took a cup of water and then walked over, picked up the phone, and saw that it was Ye Xiaohong calling. She pressed the answer button, "Hello? Xiaohong, what's up?"

"Caidie! I've got some great news for you! You're gonna be ecstatic!" came Ye Xiaohong's excited voice from the phone.

"Great news? What great news?" Shen Caidie asked with a smile.

"I've found a piece of jade raw material," Ye Xiaohong whispered, "A supreme grade jade raw material!"

"Supreme grade jade?" Shen Caidie's eyes lit up.

"Glass-type Imperial Green."

"What? Emperor Green!"

"Yes, Emperor Green, and it's not small either."

"What's the story here? How did you find Emperor Green?"

"I was just passing the time today and went to Gambling Stone Street to try my luck, to see if I could find some good jade. When I passed by an unremarkable shop and saw them cutting stone, I stopped out of curiosity. When the stone was cut open, to my surprise, it turned out to be glass-type Emperor Green inside! I was so happy, I immediately went forward to buy it.

They agreed, but the price they asked for was steep... I couldn't decide on the spot, so I called you..." Ye Xiaohong briefly explained what happened.

"Just wait for me, I'm coming right over," Shen Caidie said as she hung up, hurrying out of the office.

...

On the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiaohong turned to look at two middle-aged men standing behind her, "She'll be here soon, you better not mess this up."

"Don't worry, we won't screw up," the two men assured her, patting their chests.

"Creak!"

A sedan pulled up outside the shop. The door opened, and out stepped a beautiful woman in a women's suit, none other than Shen Caidie herself.

"Caidie, come over here and take a look," Ye Xiaohong, standing inside the shop, waved at Shen Caidie.

After locking the car, Shen Caidie stepped into the shop, "Where's the jade you mentioned? Show me quickly!"

"Here," Ye Xiaohong pointed at a table nearby.

"Swoosh!"

Shen Caidie followed the direction pointed by Ye Xiaohong and her eyes instantly brightened. In a corner of the shop, there was a table with an adult-fist-sized piece of jade that was emerald green, had a very fine texture, and good transparency, just like glass.

"That's right! It's Glass-type Jadeite, and moreover, it's the supreme grade Emperor Green." Shen Caidie quickly walked over, bent down, and stretched out her hand to gently caress the jade, smooth and round, feeling incredibly comforting.

This is Emperor Green! There's absolutely no mistake!

"How about it? This piece of jade isn't bad, right?" Ye Xiaohong said with a smile as she walked over.

"Not bad! Extremely good!" Shen Caidie nodded her head joyfully, "This is the best jade I've ever seen so far."

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Boss Cheng, he owns this shop, and this is Boss Zhu, who cut this piece of jade." Ye Xiaohong introduced the two middle-aged men standing beside them to Shen Caidie.

Leaning closer to Shen Caidie's ear, she whispered, "I've already discussed with Boss Zhu, and he has agreed to sell us this piece of jade first." Ye Xiaohong paused, then added, "We are really lucky today. No one saw Boss Zhu cutting the stone, otherwise... this piece of Emperor Green Jade would have been snatched away long ago."

"How much do they want to sell it for?" Shen Caidie asked in a low voice.

"One hundred and fifty million," Ye Xiaohong announced a staggering price, "Originally the owner of this shop wanted to buy this piece of jade, but he couldn't come up with that much money all at once, so he could only stand by and watch." At this point, Ye Xiaohong grinned, "The shop owner must be kicking himself now.

If he had known he had Emperor Green Jade in his shop, he would have cut the stone himself, but now, he can only let someone else benefit from it."

Shen Caidie's brow furrowed slightly, "That price is a bit high..."

"But this is Emperor Green we're talking about. We can just do a bit of processing and sell it for an astronomical price."

"But our company doesn't have that much cash."

"Borrow it from someone. If that's not possible, go for a bank loan. No matter what, we absolutely can't miss out on this jade."

"Borrowing money or getting a loan all takes time."

"I did think of one method, but I don't know if you'd agree to it."

"What method?" Shen Caidie asked in a hurry, her heart thoroughly captivated by the sight of the Emperor Green Jade. She now desperately wanted to acquire the jade by any means necessary, to carefully carve it and send it to an auction house to make a fortune. Most importantly, it would also elevate the reputation of her company.

"Ask Prince Wang for help; he has the money," Ye Xiaohong revealed her plan, "I believe he would definitely lend it to you if you asked."

"Ask him for a loan?" Shen Caidie shook her head, "No! I can't do that!"

"Come on," Ye Xiaohong became frantic, "What time is it now, and you're still concerned about your pride! Tell me, do you want this Emperor Green or not?"

"Of course I do." Shen Caidie nodded without hesitation, "It's Emperor Green! A once-in-a-lifetime find."

"In that case, you should call Prince Wang."

"No, I won't call him. I don't want to owe him favors."

"You are so stubborn."

"Our company's accounts have about seventy million in funds... I have ten million in my bank account, that's eighty million in total. There's still a gap of seventy million..." Shen Caidie calculated carefully, "It's too late now to get a loan from the bank, I have to borrow from others... My parents should be able to put together a few million, and I can also borrow from a few good friends..."

"I'm really at my wit's end with you!" Ye Xiaohong glared at Shen Caidie fiercely, "You've got a shortcut but insist on taking the long way around! You are such a big fool!"

"Hey, how's your deliberation going? Are you buying or not?" Boss Zhu, who was getting impatient, interjected, "My time is precious, and I don't have the time to wait around for you to dilly-dally! If you can't afford it, just say so, and I will find someone else. I believe there will be many tycoons willing to buy this piece of Emperor Green." With that, Boss Zhu made a move to leave.

"No, don't go, Boss Zhu." Ye Xiaohong quickly stopped him, "We are collecting funds; please give us a bit more time."

"Fine, for your sake, I'll wait another half hour. If you still can't come up with the money after half an hour, then I'll have to find another buyer," Boss Zhu huffed.

"Thank you, Boss Zhu, thank you." After calming Boss Zhu down, Ye Xiaohong turned to Shen Caidie, "Did you hear that? He's only giving us half an hour. How are you going to raise the money in half an hour?"

Shen Caidie frowned and remained silent. The timeframe was too tight, and it was indeed difficult to come up with such a large sum of money so quickly.

"Just call Prince Wang already," Ye Xiaohong urged, "As it stands, he's the only one who can help us."

"Stop it. No matter what you say, I won't go begging him," Shen Caidie said resolutely.

"You... you're really infuriating..." Ye Xiaohong turned blue with anger, her chest heaving with agitation.

Shen Caidie took out her phone and started calling her friends. After making more than a dozen calls, she smiled, "All set."

"Huh? They... agreed to lend you the money?" Ye Xiaohong was stunned.

"Yes," Shen Caidie nodded, "I really chose my friends well. They can be relied upon in crucial times. They all agreed to lend me the money. Together with the company's and my personal funds, I should have about a hundred and fifty million now."

"..." At that moment, Ye Xiaohong didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected Shen Caidie to have such a broad network, able to borrow millions in just a few minutes. What kind of friends were these?

"Ding ding ding..."

Just then, Shen Caidie received several messages—alerts from the bank. She opened them and read, "Alright, their money has been deposited!" With that, she walked towards Boss Zhu, "Boss Zhu, sorry to keep you waiting, I've raised the funds needed, let's proceed with the transaction."
