Episode 　　25

********** ...　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　********** 　　　　　　　　　　　　　...　　　　　　　　　　Compared to Fumi's reserve, Kiyone was much more direct. The sweet girl looked around and, finding this area to be relatively secluded, and with everyone's eyes mostly fixed on the jade in the center of the exhibition hall, she suddenly knelt up from the sofa and planted a kiss on my cheek. 　　The young beauty's lips were slightly cool, soft and gentle, yet carried a subtle floral fragrance—truly a natural beauty! 　　Kiyone's kiss didn't elicit any teasing from the other girls; even Fumi only slightly moved her lips before remaining silent . 　　For a cheerful girl like Kiyone, a kiss to express gratitude for my help was perfectly appropriate . 　　"Junxiong..." 　　Kiyone said, her pretty face flushed after the kiss, "I really didn't know you were so kind... Kiyone is very grateful to you." 　　I smiled slightly; this was probably the most proper thing Kiyone had ever said! 　　But expecting her to behave and stop being naughty after that was pure wishful thinking. 　　The next moment, the sweet, young beauty excitedly said, "Junxiong, you're amazing ! You found several top-quality or even top-grade jadeite tonight. If you ever decide you don't want to teach anymore , just become an appraiser. Then, the three great appraisers in Japan will become four!" 　　"Don't give me such bad advice. Jadeite will eventually run out of resources. What will Junxiong do then?" 　　The slender, alluring beauty rolled her eyes at the little girl. 　　"Haha, Sister Green, you're so cute." Qingyin raised a slender, white finger and shook it . "Don't you know? These appraisers can appraise not only rough stones, but also nephrite, like Chinese mutton fat jade, Russian white jade, and so on. It would take hundreds of years to mine all of these!" 　　"Hmm, of course I know, I was just testing you." 　　Green smiled sweetly, lying without batting an eye. In reality, the beautiful little wife was secretly embarrassed and decided to study harder so she wouldn't be inferior to this child in the future. 　　The sweet girl smiled and didn't press further. 　　She was still very tactful and wouldn't relentlessly belittle people... well, except for Fumi. 　　"Speaking of which, Junxiong, you truly deserve to be called a genius from Harvard University. You're even proficient in something as culturally significant as rough stone gambling. If we ever need your help with rough stone gambling in the future, can we ask you to help us?" 　　The beautiful and bright girl looked at me with admiration. 　　She spoke without thinking, but Qingyin's eyes lit up. 　　Besides the Longtang jade from Tiantong Xinyou, and the final piece of the finest emerald, the little girl was present for all three of my other . 　　Now, the grey jade and the bargain I found have proven my keen eye. If the remaining Hpakant rough stone also yields good results, then… 　　Thinking of this, the sweet, young beauty smiled at me, but this almost cunning smile made me feel exposed. 　　I hope this mischievous little girl isn't so devilishly clever! 　　A thought flashed through my mind. Without looking at Qingyin, I smiled and said to Yingzi, "It's not entirely my doing. I should thank your father and the others. They bought rough stones from old mines. Although the price is higher, the quality is guaranteed… Don't believe me? Look around, of the rough stones bought here, at least five or six out of ten can be cut into decent jadeite ?" 　　"Hmm…" 　　The five beautiful girls all nodded in unison. Indeed, those who gambled on jade today had reaped considerable rewards . Many who had finished cutting their stones had unearthed icy jade, and a few had even found pieces of glassy jade . Laughter and lively conversation filled the air. 　　This almost universally successful outcome was naturally due to the Hokkaido merchants' careful selection of high-quality jade in Myanmar; otherwise, the results wouldn't have been so good. 　　None of the wealthy individuals present at the jade auction were there to make a fortune. Having reached a level of wealth and power, they didn't care about money; they simply enjoyed the thrill of success. 　　If there was anything in this world they couldn't control, it was the unpredictable world of jade gambling. It was precisely this powerful, heart-pounding feeling that made it so appealing.

Even though some wealthy gamblers didn't find jadeite after cutting their stones, they were accepting of the outcome. If every

stone yielded green, it wouldn't be gambling on stones. Others might find top-grade emeralds or other

types of jade, like glassy or icy varieties—that was just good luck. They might have lost this time, but they had bought

more than one stone; surely some of those would yield green?

With this in mind, the gamblers who had lost immediately put aside their regrets and

turned to the ongoing stone-cutting work. Most

of the large stones had already been cut, and even those that hadn't were mostly undergoing final polishing to extract the jadeite hidden within. 　　The only remaining mystery was the super-large stone that Asai Yoshimasa and Oda Okifumi had jointly purchased. 　　Many people were secretly amused by this; it had teamed up to buy stones! Feeling everyone's gazes, Asai Yoshimasa was quite annoyed, but Oda Okifumi was even more so, constantly searching for his daughter. If it weren't for the watchful eyes, he would have already grabbed her and interrogated her about how she knew about Asai Yoshimasa's hidden bid. 　　Kiyone glanced at her father, but instead of being worried, the little girl smiled even more. This composure and calmness earned the secret admiration of the four beauties beside her. 　　"Junxiong, why is this rough stone being cut so slowly?" 　　Sakura asked listlessly, looking at the busy jade craftsmen and the rough stone that was still mostly uncut . The atmosphere felt completely devoid of the earlier excitement. 　　"It's tonight's top lot, how could the craftsmen dare to be careless? This is only because a few craftsmen who had finished their work came to help; otherwise, it would be even slower," 　　I explained calmly. 　　Judging from its size, after being polished and cut by five jade craftsmen, the Hpakant jadeite had been cut open by about forty centimeters, and its size was more than half smaller than initially thought. 　　The "skin-green" piece at the opening had already been dug out, and polishing along the veins below had little effect; at most, it would be about the same size as the "skin-green." Although the jadeite had good water content, its shape and size were insufficient, with a maximum value of 500,000 US dollars. Therefore, after placing it on the table, Asai Yoshimasa and Oda Okifumi did not look at it, but only stared at the jadeite that was being cut open. 　　Asai Aki and Oda Koyuki, on the other hand, had the jade craftsmen's assistants bring over several pieces of jadeite, each taking half, and they admired and played with them with their friends. 　　They didn't care how much good jadeite was found; gambling on jadeite was just a pastime. These few pieces of jadeite had a five-point a bright green color, which was good in itself and naturally had value for appreciation and play. 　　As the "bow saw pressing sand" method cut the rough stone smaller and smaller, everyone's breathing became more and more rapid . Even the five beautiful girls who had been very confident in me were a little nervous, their little fists clenched tightly. 　　"I'm afraid Mr. Oda and Mr. Asai are going to fail this time!" 　　Not far away, several beautiful noblewomen were talking loudly. 　　“Yes, I think so too.” Another wealthy woman seemed very experienced. “I’ve been to Tengchong many times and have seen the grand spectacle of jade gambling. For a jade stone this size, if it’s over 30 centimeters long and doesn’t yield a large area of green, then its value won’t be very good.” 　　“Besides, look at this. Such a perfect python-patterned jade stone, but apart from the opening, all that’s been polished out is stone . Even such a good appearance is useless, let alone whether there’s any jade inside.” 　　“Isn’t there an exception?” 　　“No, this jade stone has already been cut to a thickness of 40 centimeters, and it can be cut about 30 centimeters more. If by then, there still isn’t a jade band or a large area of green around it, then it’s definitely a failure. Hundreds of thousands of US dollars, probably not even a tenth of the cost will be recovered.” 　　The experienced wealthy woman sighed again, “What a pity for such a good quality Hpakant jade stone! At this point, the chances of turning it around are too small!” 　　It was clear that this wealthy woman had a lot of authority in this small circle, or perhaps because what she said made a lot of sense , so the other beautiful wealthy women nodded repeatedly. 　　We heard every word of their conversation clearly, and immediately, the five beauties turned their gazes to me. 　　I shrugged and said calmly, "Anyway, the stone will be cut in ten minutes at most, then we'll know, right ?" 　　The five girls nodded repeatedly, their beautiful eyes turning back to the Hpakant jade gambling stones, continuing their previous tension and anticipation. 　　"It's green!" The first to shout wasn't one of the jade craftsmen in charge of cutting the stone, but rather San'an Daogao, who had the best . 　　Everyone's spirits lifted upon hearing this. 　　Following his finger, we saw a patch of green revealed in the central recessed area, the color of which seemed unclear and lacking in translucency. 　　The jade craftsman facing this side also became excited, immediately stopping his "bow sawing and sanding" and directing his assistant to slowly rinse it with a water gun, while he himself wiped the green patch outwards. 　　"Wow...there's more!" 　　"It's so green...it must have at least five points of water content!" 　　"It's gone up, it's gone up!" A group of people exclaimed in surprise. As expected, this huge Hpakant jade stone had lived up to expectations, showing signs of a significant increase in value. 　　Under the washing of the water, a vibrant, almost dripping green gradually emerged under the light. 　　Not only that, the green band had been polished for five centimeters, and it didn't even end there. It could be said that every centimeter polished meant an additional tens or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars in value. 　　"Ah, there's green here too..." 　　Amidst this excitement, a beautiful lady standing on the other side suddenly screamed. 　　She was standing directly opposite us, so the people on our side immediately turned around, including the five little beauties I was with, and ran over to look at the green spot. 　　"This jade band is definitely continuous!" 　　Kinchiin Moritaka exclaimed with delight. 　　"Judging from the distance between the two sides, it's at least thirty centimeters long!" 　　Tian Tong Xinyou exclaimed. "I never expected that this Hpakant rough stone would actually be the most outstanding one!"

"Hehe, Nobuyuki, you're mistaken."

Seeing the continuous green stones, Oda Okifumi's mood improved. He laughed and said, "Regardless of quantity, just considering

quality, the most outstanding one is undoubtedly Mrs. Takahashi's top-grade emerald!"

Takahashi Shunsuke laughed beside him, his face unable to hide his pride: "She's just lucky. When it comes to

gambling on stones, what does a woman like her know?"

Takahashi Shizuka, seeing her husband's feigned modesty, simply rolled her eyes at him and obediently stood aside, smiling

silently.

The last stone had yielded a profit, and everyone's mood became cheerful. Many people picked up

champagne , chatting and drinking while waiting for the final result of the stone cutting.

The stone cutting process is quite meticulous. For example, now that green has appeared on both sides, several jade craftsmen

begin rub the stone horizontally. With the combined efforts of several people, the arc-shaped jade band surrounding the stone is revealed before

everyone's eyes.

Once the horizontal side is revealed, things become much easier.

Immediately following the vertical direction of the green band, the jade craftsmen slowly rubbed downwards. Two craftsmen each

worked on one side, and in less than ten minutes, the enormous jadeite band, 60 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide,

emerged amidst gasps of amazement.

Another craftsman gently rubbed the cut surface of the jadeite and stone with a frosting agent,

simultaneously announcing the 10-centimeter thickness, which naturally drew another round of applause.

"Haha, Yoshimasa-nii, congratulations!"

Horio Hide said, bowing slightly. "The jadeite itself is worth ten million. If it's polished into pendants

and bracelets, it could sell for at least thirty million, a pure profit of one hundred percent!"

"You're too kind. It was

just luck," Asai Yoshimasa smiled calmly, but his genuine joy was impossible to hide.

Meanwhile, Oda Okifumi was also receiving congratulations from others. Regardless,

they the only slight regret was that they hadn't won everything.

"Huh?"

The three jade craftsmen, who should have left after finishing the stone cutting, were inexplicably stunned

in front of the emerald green jade. When the other jade craftsmen looked over curiously, they unconsciously let out a cry of

surprise scream.

"What's wrong?"

Too far away to see clearly, Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa almost simultaneously rushed into the stone-cutting area.

Fortunately, all the stone cutting was already finished, otherwise they would definitely have been blocked outside by the principled jade craftsmen

.

They were genuinely worried about something going wrong with this bright green jade. It wasn't about the money, but about their reputation.

If their joy turned to sorrow, it would be extremely embarrassing.

As they entered, the laughter outside vanished, and the exhibition hall became very quiet.

Everyone stared silently at the jade blocked by the jade craftsmen, wondering what they were so surprised about.

"Look...look!"

A slightly more composed jade craftsman pointed to the bottom of the jade, but he was

too excited to say anything more.

Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa immediately looked over, their eyes widening in surprise before exploding with joy.

"Spring with Colors!"

they both cried out simultaneously, exchanging high-fives in delight

.

But after the high-five, they realized they were celebrating with their arch-rivals.

They quickly snorted and turned away, each taking a side to examine the spring with colors up close.

Hearing it was spring with colors, a group of jade enthusiasts couldn't resist any longer, crowding around the two men

, their eyes glued to this jade spectacle.

The jade craftsmen from before had already been ushered aside, but they

showed . Instead, they were all excited, chatting animatedly with the other craftsmen

about what could be made from this large expanse of jade.

"Toshio, what is 'spring with colors,' huh?"

Green asked me, her voice sweet and slightly trembling with the somewhat awkward term.

Takahashi Shizuka did not follow Takahashi Shunsuke inside to see "Spring with Colors," but instead retreated to our side. Now,

hearing her daughter's coquettish question, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Immediately, the stunningly beautiful young woman relaxed her brows again: "Hmm, my daughter and he are so

affectionate , it shows she doesn't care about anything. Thank goodness I didn't come to Tokyo this time, at least the two little

ones behaved themselves."

The little beauty, who had been secretly observing her mother's expression, smiled even more charmingly. Her deliberate

intimacy had indeed fooled a clever woman like her mother… Mother, your daughter is very clever too…

"Spring, in the trade, refers to purplish-red jadeite, and color refers to pure green. So, 'spring with color'

means a piece of jadeite with both purple and green."

I explained gently, "Currently, finished 'spring with color' pieces are fetching astronomical prices. Unfortunately

, not only are finished pieces rare, but raw materials are also scarce, let alone a 'spring with color' piece like this one with five points of translucency and a bright green hue

."

"How much can it sell for?"

Qingyin asked excitedly, looking every bit the little money-grubber.

"At least five million US dollars, and to make a finished product, it will cost at least twenty million,"

I said with a smile. "Combining the two pieces, this Hpakant rough stone can be made into

jade jewelry worth fifty million US dollars. Congratulations to you two."

"Isn't this all thanks to Junxiong?"

Fumei looked at the two big shots receiving congratulations in the room, her eyes shining even brighter.

"Yes, you used a little trick to let them taste the sweetness of cooperation. I dare not say anything else, but

at least next time there is a conflict, they will remember today's cooperation, and their hostility will naturally not be so strong."

The sweet girl always sees things so deeply. Sometimes I really think, is this girl a born

little devil? Otherwise, how could she be so amazing?

Of course, calling Qingyin a little devil is not only because she sees things clearly, but also because of her

quirky and cleverness , such as the following sentence.

"But I'm in big trouble! Dad will definitely grab me and interrogate me about why I filled in 10.05 million

US dollars... Junxiong, what should I do?"

The sweet, young beauty looked at me pitifully, blinking her eyes. She was so cute that

I secretly called her a fairy.

"It's simple." Butterfly Dance, naturally aloof, couldn't stand her seductive manner and said softly, "Just say that Fumi

gave you false information, saying that her father's bid was 10.04 million US dollars, and you only wanted to buy

the jadeite at a slightly higher price than Uncle Oda, so you wrote 10.05 million US dollars."

"Oh, is that so... It's a bit of a stretch, but not bad."

Qingyin gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, "You old women, actually going against me, your little aunt!

Be careful I really become your teacher's wife, and you'll be massaging my back and serving me all day long..."

Imagining this scene, the sweet little beauty smiled even more charmingly...

Putting aside the girls' confrontation, at least Qingyin and Fumi, the two little girls, had

such a good effect on the Hpakant jadeite gambling, which lessened her father's hatred, and I was still very happy.

Just like that, I am also very gratified.

Well, if it weren't for Aunt Jing's cold eyes watching from the side, it would be even better!
