"I am getting old, but there is still a day when I can make mistakes."
"Little brother, you have good taste. Since you just spent 100,000 yuan to buy this piece of scrap, I will buy it back with 30 million yuan. How about it?"
Everyone was shocked by the old man's words.
In just ten minutes, Zhang Yuan made thirty times his profit.
This speed of making money is really unmatched.
If this were placed on any of them, they would sell it without hesitation.
But Zhang Yuan refused.
"Old sir, I'm sorry, it's not easy for me to make the decision, because this was chosen for my brother Zhong."
When everyone heard this, they found that Zhang Yuan indeed had a close relationship with Zhong Shan.
"Haha, if that's the case, it doesn't matter, but little friend, your eyes are very vicious and fascinating!"
The old man also admired Zhang Yuan very much and praised him repeatedly.
Zhang Yuan exchanged greetings with the old man and then looked at Zhong Sheng.
"How about it, Mr. Zhong, are you willing to admit defeat this time?"
Zhong Sheng was there. Although his face looked ugly, he still admitted that Zhang Yuan had won.
"Zhang Yuan, if you win, I am willing to admit defeat!"
After saying that, he knelt down to Zhang Yuan in front of everyone.
"Wow, this is really kneeling!"
"Now, the Zhong family has been completely disgraced!"
…
When Zhang Yuan saw Zhong Sheng kneeling down, he no longer wanted to humiliate him.
"Since you have fulfilled your promise, get up and get out!"
After saying that, Zhang Yuan didn't see Zhong Sheng showing any intention to get up, so he asked.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"I said that if I lose, I will become your teacher. If you don't accept me as your disciple, I won't get up."
"Then just kneel down!"
Zhang Yuan will not be threatened by him. Since he is willing to kneel, it doesn't matter how long he kneels.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to the old man, he saw Zhong Shan coming over.
"Mr. Pan, why are you here? You are so lucky!"
"Zhang Yuan, come here and let me introduce you. This is Mr. Pan Xuan in the jade world. Mr. Pan's skills in making jade jewelry are outstanding."
Zhang Yuan was also surprised when he heard Zhong Shan's introduction.
He had heard of Pan Xuan's reputation, and the jade ornaments he made were hard to find.
It's a pity that Pan Xuan washed his hands of gold early.
"Mr. Pan, this is my friend, Zhang Yuan. He also has a special skill, which is looking at rocks."
"I've just learned this lesson, it's really a masterpiece!"
Pan Xuan's words also made Zhong Shan a little confused.
It was Zhang Yuan who explained it to him in a low voice, and then he understood the whole story.
"Mr. Pan, since you like this stone, I will give it to you. Don't spend money to buy it back."
Zhong Shan was not willing to lose this opportunity to get to know Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan also refused Zhong Shan's generosity.
"Xiao Zhong, I appreciate your kindness, but since you won't sell it, I can't take it for nothing. After all, little friend Zhang Yuan spent 100,000 to buy it from me. It's not good for me to get it back for nothing!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan suddenly had a plan in mind.
"In this case, would you please Mr. Pan do me a favor?"
"Oh, my little friend, if you need help from me, an old man, if you have something to do, please let me know."
"Mr. Pan, I would like to ask you to make an jade necklace for my wife. She and I just received our marriage certificate recently, so I would like to give her a gift."
"In this way, this piece of jade will be used as a raw material. I only want a necklace, and the rest of the raw materials will be yours. Also, you can tell me how much it will cost for the craftsmanship."
When Zhong Shan heard this, he felt that Zhang Yuan's method was really good.
I just wanted to curry favor with Pan Xuan, but I didn't expect that Pan Xuan was already dozens of years old. If he couldn't see this intention, his life would be in vain.
"Oh, then I'm here to give my little girlfriend a gift!"
"Then I promise, little friend, to make one for you. As for the crafting fee, it will be waived. I am still very willing to make friends with little friend Zhang Yuan."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pan."
Pan Xuan also hinted to Zhang Yuan that there was no need to be so polite about such a trivial matter.
After exchanging pleasantries with Pan Xuan, Zhong Shan finally noticed Zhong Sheng kneeling on his side.
"Zhong Sheng, why are you here, still kneeling? Why don't you get up quickly?"
Zhong Sheng already had the urge to remember the moment Zhong Shan arrived.
It can be seen that Zhong Shan and Zhang Yuan have such a good relationship, so he felt heartbroken and couldn't help it.
Zhang Yuan's performance today really conquered him. He must worship Zhang Yuan as his teacher today.
"Uncle, I want to take Zhang Yuan as my teacher, please help me to talk to him!"
Only then did Zhong Shan look at Zhang Yuan.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, what's going on? My nephew bumped into you somewhere."
Zhang Yuan never expected that Zhong Sheng would actually be related to Zhong Shan.
Although both of them believed in Zhong, Zhang Yuan did not think about Zhong Shan's relationship with the Zhong family at all.
"Well, Brother Zhong, are you also from the Zhong family?"
Zhong Shan nodded.
Most everyone knows about this, but Zhang Yuan, as his partner, has indeed not inquired about his identity at all.
Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed now. If Zhong Shan and Zhong Sheng had such a relationship, then today's scene would indeed be a bit embarrassing.
"Well, Zhong Sheng, right? You get up, but I won't accept you as my disciple."
Zhang Yuan also emphasized again.
"No, if you don't accept me as your disciple today, I won't get up."
Zhong Shan's face looked a little ugly. Although his nephew usually did nothing, he was indeed a member of the Zhong family.
Kneeling in front of a large crowd now brought shame on the Zhong family, so he walked over and said sternly.
"I've asked you to get up, but you're still kneeling. Do you want to go back and punish me at home?"
"Uncle Shan, I just want to accept Zhang as my teacher. If he doesn't accept me today, I won't get up."
"Even if I have to go back to my family to serve you, I can't afford it!"
Seeing Zhong Sheng's persistence, Zhong Shan was also a little moved.
Originally from a family of treasure appraisers, if Zhong Sheng could study hard with Zhang Yuan, it would not be impossible.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, look at how persistent this boy of mine is. Why don't you just accept him? Teach him a lesson."
Seeing Zhong Shan say this, Zhang Yuan was no longer embarrassed to refuse.
"Today, for the sake of brother Zhong Shan, I will accept him temporarily."
"But how much you can learn depends on your own strength."
"Thank you, master, thank you, master."
Zhong Sheng naturally beamed when he heard that Zhang Yuan was willing to accept him.
Then he got up from the ground and stood obediently behind Zhang Yuan.
After seeing Zhang Yuan accept Zhong Sheng, Zhong Shan also continued to speak to Zhang Yuan.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, there will be an jade competition here tomorrow. Are you interested in participating?"
"Emerald Contest?"
"Yes, I heard that people from the Kyoto Qu Family came to Su City to hold the event this time, and all forces will participate."
"Kyoto-ku Qujia."
Another strange family, but Zhang Yuan is still very interested in it.
"Okay, let's go and have a look together and see what's different about the competition."
"Okay, I have already arranged my accommodation here. This competition is a bit long and will last three days."
After saying that, he took Zhang Yuan and others to the hotel.
…
"I said, Xiaoyun, the Zhang Yuan you are talking about can't be that powerful!"
"If you don't want a beautiful woman like us, why don't you think she can do it?"
"Yu Mo, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, look, you're even shy. That's not like you, Xiaoyun."
"But don't worry, I will definitely help you regain your face this time."
"Don't mess around, Yumo."
Hearing what Wu Yumo said, Yang Xiaoyun became a little worried.
This Wu Yumo is a witch in Kyoto, a master who is not afraid of heaven or earth.
This time I came to represent the Wu family in this jade competition.
The two of them had just gotten off the bus, and it happened that Zhang Yuan and others had just arrived.
When Zhang Yuan saw Yang Xiaoyun, he also greeted him warmly.
Yang Xiaoyun was also very embarrassed. She never expected to meet Zhang Yuan in this place.
Wu Yumo on the side saw this and immediately understood.
"Xiaoyun, could this be the Zhang Yuan you mentioned?"
Seeing that Yang Xiaoyun did not answer, Wu Yumo also understood that the person in front of him was the heartless Zhang Yuan.
After a brief greeting, Zhang Yuan went in with Zhong Shan and others.
Wu Yumo looked at Zhang Yuan's back and said.
"Xiaoyun, this Yuan looks ordinary. Is it as powerful as you say? But don't worry, no matter how powerful it is, I will avenge you tomorrow."
Yang Xiaoyun wanted to say something else, but before she could say it, Wu Yumo pulled her in.
Zhang Yuan didn't sleep well at night.
He didn't expect to meet Yang Xiaoyun here, and now he and Roy have received a marriage certificate.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yuan shook his head hard, not daring to think too much, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
At dawn the next day, Zhong Shan took a few people to the place where they gambled on stones yesterday.
In one night, the venue was transformed from a stone betting venue into a competition venue.
This speed is indeed quite fast.
A few people were walking around, but unexpectedly a woman bumped into Zhang Yuan.
"I'm sorry about that, but it's you!"
Zhang Yuan took a closer look and saw that it was Wu Yumo who was with Yang Xiaoyun yesterday, so he also greeted him.
"It's you, what a coincidence."
"My name is Wu Yumo. I heard from Xiaoyun that you are very good at betting on stones."
Zhang Yuangang wanted to say no, but Wu Yumo continued.
"This is my first time coming to this place. For Xiaoyun's sake, please take me with you. Xiaoyun said that you two are good friends. You won't refuse to agree to this request, right?"
"And I will also give you some help, so I won't be a burden."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say even if he wanted to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree and take Wu Yumo with him.
The competition started not long after, and everyone who wanted to participate today had to go up and draw lots.
Before Zhang Yuan even moved, Wu Yumo volunteered and said she would go up and help Zhang Yuan draw lots.
Zhang Yuan didn't refuse, he was too lazy to make the trip.
And this played into Wu Yumo's plan.
As soon as they got there, Zhang Yuan was assigned to a group with Zhou Tong, a famous jadeite master, without anyone noticing.
When he came down, he said to Zhang Yuan with extremely superb acting skills.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Yuan, I'm so unlucky. You might be eliminated in the first round."
Zhang Yuan asked why, and Wu Yumo hesitated to tell the reason.
Zhang Yuan doesn't care who he draws.
Just when he was about to comfort the opponent, he heard the referee calling both sides to come on.
Zhou Tong, the master of the Zhou family, was the first to appear. As soon as he took the stage, bursts of cheers and shouts came from below.
When Zhang Yuan went up, except for a few people who knew Zhang Yuan, no one thought highly of Zhang Yuan.
Zhou Tong was also sizing up the young man in front of him. In terms of age, Zhou Tong could be considered to be the generation of Zhang Yuan's parents.
"Young man, why don't you just go down there! You are still young and you will have many opportunities in the future. If you meet me today, you will be unlucky."
"Oh, I don't know why Xiongtai said this. In a formal competition, even if there is no competition, Xiongtai thinks he is going to win. This is too confident."
"I would like to advise you, be careful of capsizing in the gutter."
Regarding Zhang Yuan's words, Zhou Tong laughed directly and said.
"The boat capsized in the gutter. I didn't expect that you are more arrogant than me. However, my Zhou family has won the first place in several jade competitions. What can you do to compete with me?"
"Since you want to humiliate yourself, then we will show you the real deal."
Zhang Yuan also smiled.
"Then I advise you to give up on your own initiative! Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be me who will bring shame on you, but you."
"I'll tell you one more thing. I will decide the first place in the Emerald Competition today, and you will also become the first defending champion to be eliminated."
