Chapter 175 Why Do It Yourself?
Chapter 175 Why Do It Yourself?
Lin Fan looked at her affectionately and said, "Precious? No matter how precious something is, it has a price in my opinion. Only you are priceless."
Zhao Ziqing's heart skipped a beat. Every time she heard his sweet words, her heart was moved. Especially after he saved her, she felt that his words were even more sincere.
"Since you don't mind, I'll give it to you. It just takes up space here." Lin Fan said, and took out five or six jade products from the storage ring.
Although he had seen rare treasures such as jade cabbage and jade watermelon, Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but exclaim when he saw these five or six pieces of jade.
"I'll give them all to you." Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing's reaction with satisfaction.
"No, I can't have it." Zhao Ziqing shook her head firmly. Even with her status and wealth, she couldn't remain calm at this moment, because she knew full well that the jade in front of her was priceless, conservatively estimated to be worth at least 5 billion!
Each piece is worth as much as the legendary Tear of the Goddess, and national treasures like the Jade Watermelon and Jade Cabbage are beyond measure.
"Take them. I have no use for them." Lin Fan said casually, "Didn't you say that the Zhao Company lacks foundation? These can serve as a foundation."
"You can't easily display national treasures like the Jade Watermelon and Jade Cabbage!" Zhao Ziqing said with a wry smile, "If someone finds us, we'll probably be arrested."
"It's not that serious, right?" Lin Fan was a little disapproving.
"Really? These are national treasures!" Zhao Ziqing said to Lin Fan sternly, "Put them away quickly and don't take them out easily. If word gets out, it'll be troublesome."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll give them to you after I've cleaned them." He then added, "Then you can use them as the foundation of your company."
Zhao Ziqing picked up the pink diamond, looked at it, and put it down again. Lin Fan immediately interrupted her and said in a deep voice: "If you want to give me money, then I will cancel the engagement with you!" Zhao Ziqing smiled helplessly and had to give up.
Lin Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said jokingly, "Oh, it seems that you really like me and you don't even want to cancel the engagement."
A trace of panic flashed across Zhao Ziqing's face, and she hurriedly tried to explain: "That's not true, I..."
"Hey, what are you guys yelling about down there? It's the middle of the night." Wang Chudong's voice came from the second floor, and he was obviously woken up.
Zhao Ziqing didn't bother to explain to Lin Fan any further and quickly looked up to apologize: "Sister Chudong, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest."
Wang Chudong walked down from upstairs. She had actually been woken up a long time ago, but she didn't dare to come out when she first heard the noise, for fear of disturbing the two people's good thing.
But the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. It didn't seem like they were doing anything intimate. So, unable to suppress her curiosity, she decided to go downstairs to find out what was going on.
"What the heck are these?" Wang Chudong's eyes fell on the pile of jadeite. She picked up a jade cabbage and marveled. "Xiaoqing, is this made by your company? The carving is just like the real thing."
Seeing this, Zhao Ziqing nervously reminded: "Sister Chudong, be careful, don't fall."
Wang Chudong weighed the jade in her hand and felt its weight: "It's quite heavy. It must be worth a lot of money, right? Tens of millions?" After saying that, she carefully put the jade down.
"It's actually several hundred million." Zhao Ziqing said softly.
"What? Several hundred million?" Wang Chudong's eyes widened in shock, secretly thanking himself for not dropping it. "Oh my god, are all these jades worth this much? Is your company that profitable now?"
Lin Fan chuckled inwardly, "The phrase 'oh my god' is truly ubiquitous. It seems everyone, regardless of their social standing, loves to use it to express surprise."
Zhao Ziqing nodded, her expression becoming serious: "Yes, Sister Chu Dong, every piece here is worth hundreds of millions."
"What you see tonight must be kept confidential." Zhao Ziqing reminded again.
Wang Chudong nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
Lin Fan muttered in his heart: "I know very well whether it is strict or not."
When Wang Chudong learned that these precious jades belonged to Lin Fan, her expression became complicated. This man was truly unpredictable.
She began to understand why Zhao Ziqing fell in love with him, and even she herself had quietly developed feelings for him. However, for Zhao Ziqing, she had to bury these feelings deep in her heart.
"You guys should pack up and get some rest early." Zhao Ziqing said to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded in agreement. After the two ladies went upstairs, he put the jadeite away one by one. He thought to himself, "Since I can't give it away now, I'll just keep it for now. There'll always be a chance later."
After returning to his room, Lin Fan took a shower and was about to lie down to rest when his phone suddenly received a message. It was from Qin Ruoshui: "Brother, I've thought about it carefully, and I really have seen your piece of multicolored jade."
Lin Fan sneered, called him a "liar", and deleted the message without hesitation.
Just then, the phone rang again. Lin Fan frowned and picked up the phone, only to find that this time the message was from Tong Xiao: "Brother Xiaofan, are you asleep?"
He replied: "Not yet, I'm getting ready for bed. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Well, I was just chatting with my sisters, and they said they want to go to the movies tomorrow night." Tong Xiao explained, "Brother Xiaofan, can we meet this weekend?"
Lin Fan replied with a smile: "Of course, go to bed early, I'll come to see you on the weekend."
"Okay, good night, Brother Xiaofan." The message was followed by a happy emoticon. Lin Fan looked at the phone screen and couldn't help but smile, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Fan went to the company as usual. He suddenly asked Zhao Ziqing, "Xiaoqing, are you interested in practicing?"
"Practice?" Zhao Ziqing was stunned. "What is that?"
"It's martial arts training," Lin Fan explained. "It makes you stronger. Taking on eight people alone won't be a problem."
Zhao Ziqing shook her head: "I'm not interested." She thought to herself, with you by my side, why should I do it myself?
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then tempted her, "Practicing can also keep you young forever. Your skin will always be soft and supple, and you won't age."
Hearing this, Zhao Ziqing immediately perked up: "When do we start learning?"
Lin Fan smiled helplessly. It seemed no woman could resist such temptation, not even a beauty like Zhao Ziqing. "When I have time, I'll teach you."
"You still remember that you said you would take me flying into the sky." Lin Fan said with a smile.
