"Boss, this brat is already so lucky. Look at how cocky he is. He even wants to walk like he's floating!"

In the shop opposite, the shop assistant said angrily.

"Dammit, he's not a god! You tell me how he flew! "

But in the end, the Mrs. Chen's ear-piercing voice still made Wang Lei raise his head.

But he raised his head without smiling, and only said while clenching his teeth: "Who cares, what are you busy with, I can't wait to eat that little bastard Xue Yang alive right now!"

Then, Wang Lei told Mrs. Chen what happened today, how the other family bullied them, and how Xue Yang was able to distinguish between the real and the fake rubies with his naked eye, he was simply a demon.

Mrs. Chen, upon hearing this, laughed and said, "Your brain normally is quite sharp, but when it comes to critical moments, why are you not able to use it?"

"What? Tell me, what could I have done? Even with all my strength, I couldn't defeat that brat's pair of ghost eyes."

Mrs. Chen looked at his own nails and said disdainfully: "Since we know that brat has some true abilities, and I heard that his carving caused even those collectors to praise him endlessly, towards this kind of person, we obviously cannot give him a competition of abilities, we can only compare it to that girl, Song Yu!"

Mrs. Chen directly smashed his hand on Wang Lei's head, then pretended to be an expert as he said: "That's why I said you're still too stupid. As long as we spend a large sum of money to poach that brat, what would Song Yu take to steal from us?

Wang Lei still expressed doubt: "But is that brat willing to come."

"Then let me ask you, did the shop across the street give the gem back to the old man?"

Facing the Mrs. Chen's question, Wang Lei replied without thinking: "Isn't that the obvious question? I might have returned the worthless stones, but that ruby was worth two million. Who would be so foolish as to not have picked the billboard for it?"

Hearing him say that, the Mrs. Chen laughed: "Then that's enough, so it looks like this person doesn't belong to you, so whoever he is working for must be working for the money. If we were to pay double or even triple Song Yu that damned brat, even if he was a fool, he would come over."

Just then, Wang Lei realised and suddenly clapped: That's right, why didn't I think of it? Mrs. Chen you are really powerful, enough, hand this matter over to me.

But at this time, Mrs. Chen shook his head and said: "What the hell are you doing? Do you know what it means to be heterosexual? I want money and beauty both at the same time. I don't believe that he won't take the bait!"

While the two of them were plotting, the person they were plotting was walking in a corner of the market.

Xue Yang sneezed loudly, the sneeze making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"F * ck, who's cursing me from behind again?" Xue Yang secretly cursed, and casually picked up a red gem.

"Aiyo, aiyo, grandpa, you really have good eyesight. This is a royal ruby from the United Kingdom. The price is only one hundred thousand and you can buy it for free!" A man who looked like a boss jogged over from the side.

Seeing the boss's flattering look, Xue Yang also laughed and said: "The United Kingdom doesn't produce rubies. Although this thing is prevalent in that place, it is still supplied from North America and Southeast Asia. Moreover, this piece of yours is man-made, the scratches inside the gemstone are too obvious."

It turned out that the owner was also standing up straight as he said, "Come on, hey, if you don't have money, don't wander around here. It's so good to go to the market if you can't afford it. Hurry up and leave, you can't afford it."

The boss could clearly tell that Xue Yang was an expert, but the so called "expert" had its own rules, it was to not scare people off with their business, so when the boss chased him out, Xue Yang was not angry.

He then left the shop with a chuckle. He strolled around a few more shops, but he couldn't find anything suitable.

At this time, the Little rat seemed to have fallen asleep in her own pocket.

Xue Yang could only call a taxi back after buying a batch of slightly higher grade jade artifacts.

Right now, the supply of the things inside the shop was already insufficient, so Xue Yang could only purchase those that were of better quality. After all, in the business world, one had to focus on maximizing the benefits.

When Xue Yang turned around, he took out his own carving knife and modified the sculptures on top of these things. With the extraordinary techniques he had obtained from the engraving, those engravings that originally did not have much of a charm, with a few modifications, were like dragons finishing drawing, and became much more lively in an instant.

So as long as it was something that was sold in the shop, although it was not all carved by Xue Yang, it had more or less been carved by him.

To be honest, Xue Yang never felt that this life was that easy, but he, who had just mastered theory and knowledge, urgently needed a large amount of jade artifacts to practice with.

This time when he went to the jade market, Xue Yang had specially bought a jade block that was the size of a goose egg. When he came to his own workshop, he first asked Song Yu not to be disturbed by anyone, because the next thing he wanted to try was to experience true pinnacle of cutting techniques.

Xue Yang had been to Old Master Huang's workshop before, so he had long since memorized the egg carvings in the workshop.

What he wanted to try today was to imitate the carving technique of that egg.

Everything was difficult at the beginning. The first step in carving jade was to carve rough blocks. This was also the most important step.

If you want your work to satisfy several characteristics, such as vivid, hierarchical, sense of integrity and stable center of gravity, you have to achieve perfect conditions when cutting rough.

So Xue Yang held onto the ruler and the carving knife, and waved it around for a long time without making a move. After looking at it for almost an hour, he finally moved on to the first cut.

With this cut, the carving knife had never left the jade. The entire shape was completed in one go, unless the middle of the blade had to be resized, Xue Yang would only stop for a bit.

Following the basic guidelines from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, Xue Yang did everything according to the image of the egg eagle in his mind.

After he had gotten the general shape, the tools in Xue Yang's hands started to change frequently, and it was now even more complicated than before. It was just that after Xue Yang spent another two hours to finally start carving the Deep Phoenix, the small piece of jade that was originally used as a phoenix directly fell down.

At this point, the work had completely failed.

Xue Yang took in a deep breath and threw the jade into the trash can. Other than the fact that the quality of the jade could not be compared to the quality of the Phoenix that was carved in the egg, the fact that Xue Yang did not have the proper carving technique was also a very important reason.

Still too young.

He exhaled a mouthful of impure air. Although he could carve a fine product like the regal green glass and phoenix, carvings had never been done in the history of knowledge without end.

Just as Xue Yang was filled with confusion, he recalled the words spoken in the engraving.

But at this time, he discovered that the engraving in his mind had many additional unfamiliar chapters. This made him astonished and happy, after all, this was a classic, if there were more, it would be great.

Xue Yang carefully studied the new chapter's chapter, and immediately took out a relatively small jade stone. After circling the knife a few times, a rose appeared in his hand.

His speed became even faster, and the work in his hands became even more pleasantly surprised. It was as if he could already smell the fragrance of the rose just by looking at the jade rose.

Seeing the rose and smelling the fragrance, Xue Yang knew that this was only a conditioned reflex of his brain, but it was also sufficient to prove that his sculpting skills had once again entered a new realm.

With this joy, Xue Yang directly ran out of the studio. Only then did he realise that he had already been in the studio for a long time, because it was already very late, and Song Yu had already prepared a table of small dishes, sitting at the table, waiting for him to eat.

Xue Yang's stomach started to growl as if it was an indication of something. He immediately washed his hands quickly, rushed to the table, and started to gobble down the food.

Ever since Xue Yang hadn't eaten his fill that time, he had always cooked five or six servings of food. He ate one serving himself, so Xue Yang was responsible for eating all the leftovers.

Looking at the dishes on the table, even though they were simple, they were all exquisite, and Xue Yang was touched.

He immediately took out the jade rose from his pocket and placed it in Song Yu's hands.

After being embraced by Xue Yang during the day, Song Yu's gaze at Xue Yang seemed to be a little strange. After receiving a rose, his face was slightly pink.

Song Yu saw Song Yu's expression, but he pretended not to see anything and continued to eat his food.

But when Song Yu smelled the fragrance of the roses, he asked curiously: "Did you put on perfume?"

Xue Yang, who was still eating, shook his head proudly.

At this time, Song Yu opened his eyes wide in shock. She already knew what had happened.

Song Yu's eyes became unfocused, this was something that Xue Yang did not expect, he shook Song Yu's arm and asked: "I say, what are you thinking, boss? I have improved in carving techniques again, don't tell me you are not happy, why do you still seem to have such a big problem on your mind?"

The Lady Boss finally revealed a knowing smile on her face. "Of course I'm happy. It's just that I've thought of the fact that my father has been pursuing this technique for his entire life. It's just that he never told me if he succeeded or not."

His father's death was still a knot in Song Yu's heart, and he had no choice but to give time to calm down.

Xue Yang only patted her arm, and did not say anything else.

At this time, a pungent fragrance permeated the air, almost covering the fragrance of the food.

Xue Yang frowned and looked towards the door, only then did he realise that Mrs. Chen was twisting her bottom, and slowly walked over.
