Chapter 279: 278, Exchange Meeting (1) Chapter 279: 278, Exchange Meeting (1) Liu Xin pondered for a moment, “Boss Yang, you know she is my boss, I can’t make decisions for her.”

“Then can you introduce me to her? I’ll talk to her in person.” Yang Qi looked at Liu Xin, hoping he would agree. He had no other choice but to come to Liu Xin. If he couldn’t find good jade this time, his jewelry store wouldn’t survive.

“Alright,” Liu Xin nodded. He knew Yang Qi’s current situation and decided to help him.

“Thank you!” Yang Qi expressed his gratitude cheerfully.

Liu Xin waved his hand, “I didn’t help much.” Whether the boss agrees or not still depends on whether Yang Qi can convince the boss.

After Yang Qi left the room, Liu Xin took out his mobile phone and called the van’s driver, “I need to go to Junyue Hotel.” He was still somewhat worried about Boss and Qin Yushen. Since it was still early, he planned to pick them up and bring them back to the city center.

“Mr. Liu, I can’t agree to that. You should also know about the situation at Junyue Hotel, and besides, it’s already dark outside.”

“I can offer you double the price.” Yang Qi knew he was putting the driver in a tough spot.

“It’s not a matter of money. Going there is risking one’s life.”

“I’ll add another double to the price.” Liu Xin could only resort to paying more now. The driver he had hired was reluctant, and other drivers would be even less willing.

The driver hesitated for a long time and then spoke slowly, “I can take you to Junyue Hotel, but if anything happens on the road, you can’t force me to continue.”

“Okay,” Liu Xin agreed. Naturally, he wouldn’t force the driver to risk his life.

Liu Xin walked out of the hotel and saw the driver was already waiting in the parking lot, he approached and got into the car.

“Mr. Liu, are you sure about this? It’s very dangerous there.” The driver felt a bit uneasy thinking about Junyue Hotel.

“Yes,” Liu Xin confirmed with a nod.

The driver sighed helplessly and started the car, heading towards the suburb.

Song Yan Ning saw Liu Xin calling again and pressed the answer button, “What’s up?”

“Boss! I’m on my way over. You shouldn’t stay there, it’s really not clean.”

Song Yan Ning gave a slight smile, “It’s okay now, I’ve dealt with it, and it’s very safe now.” She was comforted to see how concerned Liu Xin was for them, and it confirmed that she hadn’t misjudged him as a trustworthy person.

“Dealt with it? You haven’t already encountered that thing, have you?” Liu Xin didn’t understand Song Yan Ning’s response, but from what she said, it seemed to be the case.

“Yes, it’s already settled,” Song Yan Ning chuckled.

Liu Xin shook his head speechlessly, “Boss, you’re really awesome!” He had seen Boss’s capabilities, but dealing with people and dealing with unclean things were entirely different concepts.

Song Yan Ning laughed, “Alright, you don’t need to come here. I’m fine. Let’s meet at the gem trading conference venue tomorrow morning.”

“Yes,” Liu Xin nodded, waiting for Song Yan Ning to hang up before putting away his phone and looking at the nervous driver, “Let’s go back.”

“Screech!” A sound of braking came.

The driver looked at Liu Xin incredulously, “What did you say?” He couldn’t have misheard, right?

“We’re returning to Wanduo Hotel,” Liu Xin said with a smile.

“Okay!” The driver, ensuring he hadn’t misheard, quickly turned the car around and sped back the way they came, afraid that Liu Xin might change his mind again.

Liu Xin suddenly remembered he had forgotten to tell Song Yan Ning about Yang Qi, hesitating to call her again, but then dismissed the idea. He decided to wait and talk to the boss tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived at the gem trading conference venue.

“It’s surprising how many people are here for the gem trading conference,” Song Yan Ning commented as she observed the bustling crowd, shaking her head with a smile.

“It’s much better now, there were even more people coming to gamble on stones a few years ago. Now, those who gamble on stones are generally gem merchants, and there are hardly any individuals,” Qin Yushen remarked as he saw Liu Xin approaching them.

“Have you also been here before?” Song Yan Ning asked Qin Yushen curiously.

Qin Yushen smiled and shook his head, “I have a friend who specializes in stone gambling.” He had met that friend through stone gambling; the friend had bought rough from Myanmar and transported it back to the country. That rough cost his friend all his savings, but when it was cut open, there was nothing inside.

His friend couldn’t bear it and chose to jump into the river. Qin Yushen happened to pass by and saved him, and they became friends since then. His friend had shared a lot about stone gambling with him, though he wasn’t particularly interested.

“Boss!” Liu Xin saw Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen and quickly walked up to them. The boss was indeed fine!

Song Yan Ning nodded with a smile, “Let’s go in.”

“Okay!” Liu Xin took out his invitation from his briefcase and headed toward the venue with Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, “Boss, how did you guys get here?” Junyue Hotel was so far from the gem trading conference, and there were no vehicles nearby.

“The hotel has a car,” Song Yan Ning naturally wouldn’t mention they had come by flying sword.

“Boss, the owner of Yisheng Gold Store, Yang Qi, wants to ask you for a favor?” Liu Xin handed his invitation to the staff at the entrance. Entry to the gem trading conference wasn’t open to just anyone; only those with an invitation could enter.

“What favor?” Song Yan Ning raised an eyebrow.

“He wants you to help him select a piece of rough,” Liu Xin received his invitation back from the staff and proceeded with Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen into the venue.

“Let’s see later,” Song Yan Ning had already scanned the venue with Divine Sense before and knew it was divided into auction and selection areas.

“Boss, let’s check out the rough in the selection area first,” Liu Xin pointed to a wide area outside the venue that was piled with rough, all to be auctioned later.

“Yes,” Song Yan Ning nodded.

“Mr. Liu!” Yang Qi saw the trio and hurried over, having waited there for a long time.

“Boss Yang! This is my boss, Song Yan Ning, and Mr. Qin. Boss! Mr. Qin! He is the owner of Yisheng Gold Store, Yang Qi,” Liu Xin introduced them.

“Boss Song! Mr. Qin!” Yang Qi greeted Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen respectfully.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded, “Hello!”

“Boss Song! I would like to ask you to help me select a piece of rough. If it yields jade, I can give you a third of it or if you have any demands, just state them, and I’ll do my utmost to meet them,” Yang Qi looked at Song Yan Ning sincerely, hope shining in his eyes.
