Most of the people present had been invited by Shen Xingye to suppress Shen Yuruo, but now that things had progressed to this point, not only did he not suppress Shen Yuruo at all, he had even established her prestige, making her ability even more obvious, it was truly unbelievable.

Whether it was the foreign merchants or the directors, they were all closely related to Shen Xingye, but they were all thinking that maybe they should rely on Shen Yuruo, and the benefits they would receive would be even more, since this girl was not simple. She had eyes, ability, courage, and was able to find a capable person like Xu Lang to help her, it showed that this girl was not simple at all.

After all, most of the merchants were chasing after business interests to maximize their profits, so many of the people present started to turn their backs on them, and spoke good words towards Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo.

Even Zhu Zian, Zheng Qingshan and the others, who had just suffered greatly, had no choice but to lower their heads in front of Xu Lang.

During the break in Auction, Zhu Zian was modest enough as he walked over to Xu Lang and asked him a few questions.

This time he was really asking for advice out of humility, not to embarrass Xu Lang.

Xu Lang was not too disgusted with this Zhu Zian, he at least liked him a lot more than the other people who scolded him. Moreover, this fellow had gotten into a strange problem just now, and it had indeed piqued Xu Lang's interest in him.

So in the middle of the break, Xu Lang and Zhu Zian had a rather good chat.

Zhu Zian humbly asked, "Mr. Xu, there is an ancient saying in our country, 'A man feeds the jade, and a woman feeds the jade'. This might be the reason why the jade market is highly respected in our country, especially for the girls nowadays, even the middle-aged and elderly women all like jade.

Xu Lang did not know much, just this bit of information was something he read accidentally in the past, and it was all thanks to his photographic ability that he managed to memorize a few descriptions, and now with this fellow asking him humbly, if he could not answer, how embarrassing would it be!

Xu Lang could only pretend to say.

Some people, however, treated Xu Lang's words as a golden law and even took out small copies of it.

Shen Yuruo sat at the side, seemingly lost in thought as she heard Xu Lang slowly say: "The so called 'human nurturing jade, jade nurturing human beings'. The more common way of speaking is' human nurturing jade for three years, jade nurturing human beings for their entire lives'.

First of all, from our country's traditional culture, there are many theories about jade in our country's cultural tradition, such as a gentleman, a beauty like jade, that is because jade symbolizes virtue, purity, and a kind of status symbol, whether it is ancient royalty or scoundrels, they both like jade artifacts and have been passed on to this day ever since.

The second level, from the perspective of pseudoscience, should be understood. Humans nurture jade, which is to say that the oil secreted by the human body will come in contact with jade for a long period of time. Yu Ren was referring to the jade artifact containing many trace elements such as iron, zinc and so on. In the course of wearing it for a long time, they would be absorbed by the human body, allowing it to nourish one's spirit and give birth to hair.

The third level, which is interpreted from the perspective of true science, negates the second theory, because the trace elements contained in jade artifacts are not absorbed by the human body and do not easily escape. Furthermore, these essential trace elements of the human body can be fed on a daily basis, so why would they need expensive jade artifacts?

Jadeite was known as the King of Jadestone, but even so, it had no protective effect on the body.

Actually, what I want to say is that the reason why modern people like jade artifacts is because of a type of crowd psychology. Of course, jade artifacts are indeed exquisite and to a certain extent, they play a role in decorating the masses, allowing girls to be more beautiful and confident.

Everyone around them listened to him with rapt attention, and felt admiration for Xu Lang. Even Shen Yuruo was constantly nodding her head, she could not understand Xu Lang, wasn't this fellow the security guard of the hospital in the past? The rented house was a cheap one, but how could female landlord know so much about it, and how could she make so much money?

Of course, what Shen Yuruo valued was not Xu Lang's ability to earn money, but the reason he had relations with this guy, wasn't it because he wanted to entrust his innocence onto this guy? Therefore, she valued Xu Lang's character even more.

As she thought about it, Shen Yuruo suddenly thought of another matter.

That's not right, this guy was suspected of stealing, but since this guy could make so much money, was there a need to steal?

It's definitely not him. I misunderstood him. Ai, the time isn't right. The time when the diamond ring was lost and he suddenly made 5 million was a day away from the day he made 5 million. Ah, no, no, it definitely wasn't him.

Thinking about it, Shen Yuruo blamed herself, and snuck a glance at Xu Lang for a year, only to see him talking nonstop, and suddenly feeling that the way he talked and worked, was extremely charming. Thinking about it, her face reddened down to her neck.

In reality, Shen Yuruo was wrong, Xu Lang had indeed stolen a diamond ring. It was both righteous and evil, mysterious and unfathomable.

Very quickly, Auction competition's second half, with the experiences of the first half, no one dared to make things difficult for Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo anymore. Under Xu Lang's covert help, Shen Yuruo won the entire competition, gained benefits for the company, and also won her a lot of support.

There were a few of Shen Xingye's trusted aides present who were not willing to accept defeat, and quickly thought of another ultimate move.

Under their meticulous arrangements, the last wave of foreign merchants from the mezzanine came to the stage and in addition, brought over ten pieces of Jade Origin Stones. They also carefully chose the one with the most potential and tested Shen Yuruo's eyesight once again.

Instead, they wanted to follow Shen Yuruo's footsteps and try to get a share of the profits. Since Shen Yuruo's eyesight was so good, she said that if she could earn money, then it must be worth it.

As expected, once this ore entered the arena, everyone did not look at the ore but instead focused on Xu Lang. They seemed to realize that Xu Lang's eyes had lit up and he looked rather excited as he whispered a few sentences into his ears.

The starting price of this ore was already 1 million, but the unbelievable thing was that Shen Yuruo was the first to bid, raising the price to 2 million.

My god, this is definitely a priceless treasure. All the other manufacturers started bidding, and soon, the value rose to 4 million.

Zhao Fugui wasn't satisfied, he made another bid, "41 million."

Zheng Qingshan replied, "42 million."

Shen Yuruo bid once again, "52 million."

However, in the end, the rich and imposing Great Alligator Ma Chengcheng gritted his teeth and cruelly said, "6 million!"

This meant that this piece of ore was definitely a priceless treasure. Since the Auction had progressed to this stage, Shen Yuruo had never made a mistake, so he had to fight for it with Shen Yuruo.

The price rose to 6 million, no one dared to bid anymore, even Shen Yuruo could only shake her head and sigh helplessly, as though she had given up, causing Ma Quan to become even more proud of himself.

"Sixty million going once, sixty million going twice, sixty million going thrice! "Alright, this ore belongs to Mr. Ma!"

He even glanced at Xu Lang with a complacent look, as if to say: How about it, I am just looking at your knowledge to pick up any loopholes, do you not accept that?

This so-called "picking up loopholes" was also a jargon for jewelry and markets. It meant that the seller would often be unaware of the fact that he had bought a valuable antique at a very cheap price.

However, this ore was not cheap. Ma Jiancheng had abused the jargon, but he did not know that the words "to pick up the loot" were not used in such a way at all.

In regards to this loss, Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo did not seem to care at all. The directors with ulterior motives, on the other hand, could not help but come over and say to Shen Yuruo: "Miss Sun, I originally thought you were quite bold when doing things, but why did you not persevere at the last moment? I can see that you think highly of this ore from the beginning, which means that it's extremely valuable. Moreover, with its size and appearance, once it's completely green, its value is immeasurable. Even a hundred million is hard to estimate its value, so why don't you raise its price? "

Another colleague said in agreement, "Sigh, it seems like Miss Sun still needs to be on the verge of success!"
