My Sexy CEO Wife

Gao Fei shook his head, "None of you should bid anymore! I won't sell this piece of Emperor Green Jade."

"Come on, I can offer a high price!"

"You can neither eat nor drink Emperor Green Jade. Keeping it with you is useless."

"Just sell it already!"

"We can negotiate the price."

...

It was really hard for everyone to give up such fine jade. Emperor Green Jade was truly too rare and precious, sometimes not even appearing once in several years, and some might never come across it in their lifetime.

"I've said it, I'm not selling." Gao Fei was very determined.

"Ah... What a pity..." Sighs echoed through the crowd.

"Boss, do you have boxes for storing jade here?" Gao Fei asked the shop owner, Gu Dexi.

"Oh...yes..." Gu Dexi froze for a moment, then nodded his head, "Go, bring over some boxes." The last sentence was directed at a shop assistant.

In a short while, the shop assistant brought over a pile of boxes and packed the jade that belonged to Gao Fei and Shen Caidie.

"Let's go." Gao Fei and Shen Caidie, carrying the boxes, left the shop.

Gu Dexi stood there dumbfounded, his face darker than the bottom of a pot. He had taken a big loss today, oh my Emperor Green Jade...

...

"Where should we store these things?" Gao Fei looked at the jade boxes in his hands, feeling somewhat troubled. The jade was of extraordinary value, and if left in a hotel, it could possibly be stolen; carrying it around all the time was also inconvenient.

"There are special storage rooms here," Caidie said. "We can deposit our jade in there."

"Is it safe?"

"Very safe! These storage rooms are managed by the Myanmar government, guarded by armed police—it's incredibly secure," she explained.

"But I have a piece of Emperor Green Jade in my hand..." Gao Fei looked hesitant.

"You don't need to worry, they wouldn't dare mess around," Caidie assured him. "Although Emperor Green Jade is very precious, compared to the Jadeite Public Market, it is still a lot less valuable. The Myanmar officials wouldn't do something to ruin their reputation, rest assured."

Gao Fei nodded, "Alright, I'll take your word for it."

And so, they deposited their jade in the storage room and left after getting the receipt.

They continued to select raw stones for the rest of the day. By nightfall, they had cut out quite a bit of jade, most of it mid to high-grade. After depositing all the jade in the storage room, they drove back to the hotel.

Both of them had reaped huge rewards today. Shen Caidie had cut out more than twenty pieces of jade, which she estimated to be worth around three hundred million in total. Although Gao Fei had cut out fewer pieces of jade compared to Caidie, his nine pieces were of such high quality that their total value was estimated to be around seven hundred million.

In just one day, the two had earned a billion—not a bad day's earnings.

"This gambling stone industry does make quick money," Gao Fei remarked.

"It also loses money quickly," Caidie said with a smile. "After all, the ones who make money are in the minority." She paused, then continued, "Mr. Gao, what do you plan to do with those pieces of jade? Especially that supreme Emperor Green Jade..."

"I have an idea."

"What's your idea?"

"I plan to hand over the Emperor Green Jade to Mr. Luo for carving."

"You thought of the same as me," Caidie said with a smile. "My master is a top-tier expert. There's no one better to carve that Emperor Green Jade."

"I'll call Mr. Luo right now." Gao Fei took out his phone and made a call to Luo Mingshan. After a short talk, he ended the call.

"What did my master say?" Caidie inquired.

"He agreed, I'll send the Emperor Green Jade over tomorrow," Gao Fei said, smiling.

...

The night passed without incident.

Early next morning, Gao Fei delivered the Emperor Green Jade to Luo Mingshan's studio, with Caidie accompanying him.

"Not bad, very good indeed," praised Luo Mingshan. "This Emperor Green Jade is beautiful, and it's not small in size either... Mr. Gao, how do you wish to carve it?" Luo Mingshan sought Gao Fei's opinion.

"You have more experience than I do when it comes to carving. I'll listen to you," Gao Fei said, smiling.

"Hmm..." Luo Mingshan pondered for a moment, "Then let's carve a Buddha statue. If there is enough material left, I'll create a few small pieces for you."

"That's fine, you make the decisions," Gao nodded.

"Carving is meticulous work, especially for a piece of supreme grade jade. It's both time-consuming and labor-intensive," Luo Mingshan noted. "I estimate... it will take at least a month to finish the work."

"Don't worry, take your time. Just call me when you've finished carving," Gao Fei said nonchalantly.

"It's been a long time since I last carved Supreme Grade jade," Luo Mingshan chuckled. "I'm actually quite eager to start."

"Mr. Luo, about the carving fee..." Gao Fei had just broached the subject when Luo Mingshan interrupted him.

"I'll carve it for free, without charging any fees," he insisted.

"That's not acceptable!"

"Why not? You saved my life, and then you saved my wife's life. You're my greatest benefactor. Isn't it right for me to carve a few pieces of jade for you?" Luo Mingshan argued.

"That's a separate matter! Mr. Luo, you must charge me, or I won't have you do the carving," Gao Fei said firmly.

"You... you're making things difficult for me," Luo Mingshan furrowed his brow.

At that moment, Shen Caidie, who had been standing aside, spoke up, "Master, since Mr. Gao insists on paying, you should accept the money. If you feel bad about it, just put extra thought into carving the Emperor Green Jade even better."

"Well… All right," Luo Mingshan reluctantly nodded. "I'll take the money."

"How much shall I pay you? I can transfer it to you right now," Gao Fei said, taking out his phone.

"No need to rush; you can pay after the work is done," Luo Mingshan gestured.

"That works too! We'll do as Mr. Luo says! I'll pay after the work's complete." This time Gao Fei didn't object further.

"Master, I've been busy selecting jade raw stones lately, so I won't be able to come and learn carving from you," Shen Caidie said apologetically. "After the Jadeite Public Market is over, I'll make time to learn from you."

Luo Mingshan smiled and nodded, "Young people should prioritize their careers. When you're free, just come learn from me." He then added, "Gambling stone involves significant risks; you have to be very cautious."

"I understand," Shen Caidie nodded. "I'll be careful."

After some small talk, Gao Fei and Shen Caidie left. They had to get back to making money and really didn't have much time to chat idly with Luo Mingshan.

Gao Fei and Shen Caidie had agreed that Emperor Green Level jade would be carved by Mr. Luo, while jade of grades below Ice would be carved by Caidie.

An hour later, they arrived at the venue of the Jadeite Public Market and started to pick out stones they liked.

From a day's observation, Gao Fei concluded that the quality of the raw stones here was much better than those on Gambling Stone Street in Southern City. First, the chances of cutting jade from these stones were very high, and second, the grade of the jade cut was also high.

No wonder so many people made the effort to come here to purchase raw stones; it was because the quality was so good.

...

The wind was light and the clouds were calm.

Time flew by.

Before they knew it, more than ten days had passed, and only two days remained until the end of the Jadeite Public Market.

In these ten-plus days, Gao Fei and Shen Caidie had made a fortune. They could be seen smiling happily every day. With money earned, how could their mood not be good?

However, Gao Fei was somewhat regretful that, over the ten days, he hadn't cut any more Emperor Green.

"Eh? It's really lively ahead!" Gao Fei stopped, looking ahead. "Let's go check it out." As he spoke, Gao Fei walked over, with Shen Caidie quickly following him.

"So many raw stones!" Shen Caidie exclaimed in amazement.

"Hello, everyone," a stout man climbed onto a meter-tall stone and shouted through a megaphone, "These just-arrived raw stones are from an old pit, absolutely of fine quality! The prices are also fair. Pick your stones quickly! This chance won't come again! Don't hesitate, buy them now! They're all good raw stones!"

"Eh? Isn't that him?" Gao Fei paused, recognizing a familiar face. The man shouting through the megaphone was named Gu Dexi, from whose shop Gao Fei had cut the Emperor Green Jade.

"Wasn't his shop next door? Why has it moved here?" Shen Caidie also recognized Gu Dexi.

"These raw stones are indeed nice…" Gao Fei used his clairvoyance to take a careful look: "There are quite a few high-grade jades... What? That is... Damn! It's true! Holy mackerel, I've struck it rich again today!"

"Mr. Gao, what's wrong?" Shen Caidie noticed Gao Fei seemed very excited.

"Ah... these stones are good, pick a few for yourself," Gao Fei said, hastily stepping forward and picking up a stone, then walked about ten meters to the left before picking up another stone. Neither of the stones was very big, but they were quite heavy. Together, they probably weighed over a hundred kilograms. Anyone else might not have been able to lift them, but Gao Fei was different.

He was an anomaly. He could easily lift them, even if they weighed a thousand kilograms.

Great stuff!

Really great stuff!

Gao Fei grinned.

After calming down his excitement, Gao Fei picked a few more stones, totaling over three million in expense.

By then, Shen Caidie had also chosen her stones and called Gao Fei over for advice.

Gao Fei looked over and quickly knew the situation—most of the stones Shen Caidie chose were duds, with only two or three containing jade, which were all low-grade.

"What's wrong? Are these stones no good?" Seeing Gao Fei frown, Shen Caidie became nervous.
