Fu Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan, Yu Xiangwan, and Gu Qingning, as laymen who knew nothing about it, chose the rough jade stones entirely based on their eyesight, and chose whichever stone they felt was good.
It didn't take them much time to select the stones.
Yu Zhiming discovered that Fu Xiaoxue and Gu Qingning mainly choose rough stones with a smoother appearance.
The fifteen pieces Zeng Yan picked were all about the same size.
As for Yu Xiangwan, he picked out the big ones and selected the ten largest rough stones.
In her words, if the stone is big, it may be big.
It was already past 11:30 in the morning, and since cutting the rough stones took time, everyone decided to have lunch first and leave the rough stones here. After lunch, they would come back and watch the cutting of the rough stones.
Words,,,version.】
Yu Zhiming pretended to be polite and invited Lin Qingyan to have lunch. Unexpectedly, he was not polite at all and agreed.
This is really depressing to Yu Zhiming...
Under the leadership of Yan Ling, Yu Zhiming and his party of five, plus Lin Qingyan and his gorgeous female companion Wang Min, came to the restaurant and sat down in a well-decorated private room.
A waiter will serve the food soon.
What was served first was milky-white mutton soup in a large ceramic pot.
Yu Zhiming filled a bowl with a soup bowl and took a sip. It was neither smelly nor fishy, and the mutton flavor was full of aroma.
After two small bowls of mutton soup went into his stomach, Yu Zhiming felt his stomach was soothed, his whole body was warm, and he felt very comfortable.
This made him look forward to the next mutton feast.
Without making them wait any longer, various mutton dishes were served like water.
There are hand-caught mutton, charcoal grilled ribs, scallion-fried mutton, mutton skewers, grilled mutton buns, braised mutton, and mutton-shabu copper hot pot. The staple food is grilled naan, and the special hand-pulled rice...
The mutton is delicious, and Yu Zhiming is very satisfied.
While chatting while eating and drinking, Lin Qingxuan suddenly mentioned that he was learning to dive, which made Yu Zhiming excited.
"Diving?"
Yu Zhiming reminded: "I know that this is a very dangerous project. I heard that diver students die every year due to various accidents."
Lin Qingyan smiled nonchalantly and said: "Dr. Yu, accidents can happen when walking and eating."
"As long as you are fully prepared and do not go to places where the water is too deep or the underwater environment is complex, no accidents will happen."
He pointed at the gorgeous female companion next to him and said in a showy voice: "Although Amin is small and exquisite, when she is underwater, she is like a mermaid with slippery hands, not to mention how flexible she is."
"She is a veteran with five years of diving experience. She can dive to a depth of ten meters without wearing any diving equipment, and can hold her breath underwater for up to six minutes."
"With her by my side, even if some unexpected situations happen, I won't be afraid."
Yu Zhiming took a deep look at Wang Min, who was eating mutton in small bites with quite graceful movements.
He guessed that it was most likely because of this woman that Lin Qingyan went to learn diving, which was quite dangerous.
I heard an imaginative conversation between two men before, and now I met diver Lin Qingyan by chance. Yu Zhiming concluded that the inner relationship between them must be profound.
Thinking that Wang Min, a senior diver, might have been specially placed next to Lin Qingyan, Yu Zhiming did not give Lin Qingyan too much advice.
Besides, he has notified the police and also reminded Lin Qingyan of the dangers of diving.
Let's see if this guy can escape this disaster...
A little before noon, Yu Zhiming, Lin Qingyan and others happily returned to the jade counter in the gift area to watch the cutting of raw jadeite with their own eyes.
The clerk has already prepared two cutting equipment and is busy...
Yu Zhiming disliked the noise, so he came outside the building, and Gu Qingning followed him.
"Zhi Ming, that guy is a college classmate and an ordinary friend. He once pursued me, but I rejected him without hesitation."
Yu Zhiming waved his hand and said: "I didn't doubt your relationship with him, nor did I think much about it."
"Hey, is his family very rich?"
Gu Qingning hummed and said, "There are several factories that make car accessories and decorations."
"I also heard that when the real estate boom was booming a few years ago, his family seized the opportunity and made a lot of money speculating in real estate."
Yu Zhiming said oh and asked: "Is he an only son?"
Gu Qingning recalled: "I never heard him talk about brothers and sisters. He might be an only child."
She smiled again and said: "Zhiming, why do you care so much about him? You don't really want to be jealous, do you?"
Yu Zhiming made a soft sound, and said with a look of disgust: "I wish someone could take you in, so that you won't continue to bother me."
"Hey, Qing Ning, why do so many people who know you, such as your cousin from Furong Club, and this guy, take it for granted that I am your boyfriend?"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "It must have been at that party that someone loudspeaked and publicized it."
Yu Zhiming snorted twice and expressed his protest.
Gu Qingning took Yu Zhiming's hand, raised her other hand and pointed at the lake in front of her and the surrounding mountains.
"Zhiming, how is the scenery here?"
“Green mountains and green waters, refreshing and refreshing, very nice.”
Gu Qingning chuckled and said: "Wake up in the morning and take a walk on the mountain path with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Not to mention how comfortable it is."
"It's hard to go on vacation for a while, put everything down and just eat, drink and have fun."
Yu Zhiming hummed and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance...
At this moment, the mobile phone on his body rang.
Another call from He Yingjun.
Yu Zhiming frowned slightly and answered the call.
"Secretary He, what's wrong?"
He Yingjun's voice rang on the phone, "Dr. Yu, I'm sorry to disturb your vacation."
"It's like this, Dr. Yu, some time ago, didn't you check for pancreatic cancer for Dr. Ged Kanter from Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States who came for a medical exchange?"
"This incident caused quite a stir in Dr. Ged Kanter's hospital after he returned to China."
"The Johns Hopkins Hospital has now sent another medical communication team, which went directly to our hospital, saying that they are here for you, Dr. Yu."
"Doctor Yu, what do you think about this?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled softly and said: "Aren't foreigners most particular about the separation of personal time and work time?"
"A vacation is a vacation, and work is work. Why did you come here during our National Day holiday?"
He Yingjun said sarcastically during the call: "Dr. Yu, this is the arrogance and double standards inherent in foreigners. The separation of vacations and work is for foreigners themselves."
"For them, if they want to work, people from other countries will immediately rush over to cooperate."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you angry?"
He Yingjun sighed softly: "Those guys said they were quite polite, but they didn't hide their doubts about Dr. Yu's medical skills and their bossy taste at all."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "In that case, let them wait, if they are willing to wait."
"Secretary He, please tell them for me that I am currently on vacation and have no time to rush back."
He Yingjun's excited voice came from the mobile phone, "Doctor Yu, did I really say that?"
"That's it, I'm not begging them..."
Yu Zhiming ended the call with He Yingjun, and then Gu Qingning's voice sounded in his ears.
"This Secretary He seems to be making a fuss."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said: "Anyone whose original vacation plan is interrupted and has to go back to the hospital to work will feel dissatisfied."
"Those Americans came at the wrong time."
Gu Qingning hummed, then smiled and said: "This also shows from another aspect that they value you."
"After they have confirmed your ability, the next step will definitely be to provide very generous conditions and invite you to the United States."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said: "I won't go."
"Not to mention that the very early stage cancer project has just begun and will take several years to complete."
"In my case, the environment is too different when I go abroad. If I can't adapt to it for a while, I might go crazy."
"And..."
Yu Zhiming said leisurely: "My parents spent so much effort to give birth to me and raise me, but it was just to pass on the incense and provide for me in old age."
"If I ran abroad, my dad would probably break my legs with a stick."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "I guess not?"
"I chat with my aunt and eldest sister on the phone, and occasionally I talk to my uncle. I feel like my uncle is quite kind, right?"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said: "I am exaggerating to describe it. If I go abroad and my parents agree with their lips, they will definitely be unhappy in their hearts."
"Some people say that children who do not study well are actually filial children arranged by God to repay their kindness."
"I think this is very reasonable."
"For those guys who go abroad and never come back, their parents are raising them in vain."
After a moment of pause, Yu Zhiming suddenly realized something and quickly asked for confirmation: "Qing Ning, in addition to contacting my eldest sister, have you also talked to my mother?"
Gu Qingning said with a proud face: "It's not very often. In the past month, every time I video chat with my eldest sister, I always talk to my aunt for a few minutes or ten minutes."
"Who told you not to talk to your parents on the phone often?"
Yu Zhiming said unconvinced: "I talk to my family on the phone at least once a week."
Gu Qingning revealed: "Every time I talk for less than three to five minutes, I hang up."
"Hey, Zhiming, if you have time now, let's make a video call with my family using the scenery here as the background..."
With Gu Qingning on the side making jokes from time to time, Yu Zhiming's call with his parents and eldest sister lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
The two returned to the jade counter area. The cutting of the rough stone had not yet been completed, but Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan's expressions were wilted.
"No jadeite was cut out?"
Fu Xiaoxue pursed her lips and said: "The two of us have cut through thirty rough stones, and none of them turned out green."
"Cutting to now, a piece of jade has been released. It is said to be enough to make a few small pendants, and its value will not exceed three thousand yuan."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "In gambling, you will basically lose nine out of ten times. Don't fantasize about getting rich..."
By nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, all the rough stones they selected had been cut, and they had cut out three small pieces of jadeite of very ordinary quality, with a total value of no more than 10,000.
Fortunately, they were just having fun, and the important thing was not spending their own money, which did not affect the mood of Yu Zhiming and his party.
They decided to go swimming.
But when I asked about the price of swimsuits, Yu Zhiming couldn’t help but think in his heart.
A pair of men's swimming trunks costs seven to eight hundred.
Even if it is a luxury brand, it is just a pair of swimming trunks. Isn’t this just a money grab...
