For a long time, everyone gradually came back to their senses, and Manager Zheng had already slipped away quietly while everyone was focusing on Ge Dongxu.

Having lost so much face, why would he wait to be embarrassed further by this young man?

"May I know how to address you?" Tang Yahui came back to her senses, her eyes shining as she looked at Ge Dongxu, as if he were a pile of glowing gold.

There was no way around it—a 980,000 jewelry deal was not only a huge transaction at the time, but even today, it still wasn't a small amount, and it would at least require the involvement of someone at a managerial level.

As the manager of Jiang Region Jewelry, Tang Yahui's position and annual income were directly tied to the store's sales performance.

With Ge Dongxu starting the conversation with 980,000, how could she not be dazzled?

"Ge Dongxu, just call me Dongxu," Ge Dongxu said.

"Mr. Ge, the quantity of jade you want is too large, and for the same type and style of jade, we only have one or two pieces at most, and other stores are the same. How about we go to my office to discuss in detail to see if there is another way to meet Mr. Ge's requirements?" However, Tang Yahui still did not call Ge Dongxu by his first name, but referred to him as Mr. Ge.

"That sounds good," Ge Dongxu nodded, then followed Tang Yahui's invitation to go upstairs together. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a saleswoman with an apple-shaped face. Seeing a slight look of disappointment on her face, he suddenly had an idea, paused, pointed at the saleswoman, and said to Tang Yahui, "Manager Tang, this saleswoman served me with great enthusiasm just now, and I am very satisfied. Later, all my expenses should be counted as her sales performance."

Tang Yahui was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Of course."

After that, she even specifically nodded at the saleswoman with the apple-shaped face to encourage her, "Zhang Qiqi, well done, keep it up."

Zhang Qiqi's face turned as red as an apple, and she quickly bowed repeatedly to Ge Dongxu and Tang Yahui, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Ge, thank you, Manager, I will definitely do well."

Seeing this, Ge Dongxu smiled and nodded at Zhang Qiqi, then followed Tang Yahui upstairs, and Tang Yiyuan naturally also went upstairs with them.

No sooner had Ge Dongxu and the others gone upstairs than the sales staff in the showroom crowded around Zhang Qiqi, saying, "Wow, 980,000 yuan, Qiqi, you're treating us."

"Our store doesn't have that much jade, so the final deal definitely won't reach 980,000!" Zhang Qiqi said, her face red.

"That's true, but looking at Mr. Ge's demeanor, even if it's not 980,000, having a deal of two or three hundred thousand is still possible, and your commission isn't small either, you must treat us," someone said.

"As long as there's a transaction value of over 100,000, I'll treat you." Zhang Qiqi said with a flushed face, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

"That's great, we get to have a feast today!" The sales clerks, all young girls, were very happy upon hearing this. Only Chen Xiaoling hung her face in annoyance and regret, no longer possessing her earlier shrewdness.

"However, you said Mr. Ge looked only about sixteen or seventeen, how is he so rich? Could he be the legendary rich second generation? Ninety-eight thousand, you could buy several big houses in Linzhou City with that. We would need to work for over a hundred years without eating or drinking! If only we could find such a wealthy husband in the future, there wouldn't be a need to stand here smiling all day." After a joyful moment, some sales clerks gathered quietly when there weren't many customers, whispering among themselves.

"Right! Why don't you chase after Mr. Ge later?"

"I would love to, but with his wealth, why would he notice me!"

"..."

Unbeknownst to Ge Dongxu, he had just become the topic of conversation among the young sales clerks downstairs, nor did he realize that at sixteen, he was already seen as a "diamond bachelor" by the girls. At this moment, he was sitting on a long couch in Tang Yahui's office, next to Tang Yiyuan, chatting sporadically, while Tang Yahui was busy making tea for them.

"Mr. Ge, you want that type of glutinous ice jade, you just need it to be similar in shape to that pendant, and you even want two hundred pieces at once, definitely not for wearing, right? Do you have some other special use for it? Perhaps I can think of another way for you, and it will cost much less than buying it this way. After all, the value of a pendant includes not only the jade itself but also its carving, which is a significant part of its value. Sometimes the value of the carving even surpasses that of the jade itself." After serving tea to her father and Ge Dongxu, Tang Yahui sat down and asked.

"Really? That would be awesome! I do have a special use for them. In fact, I don't need any carving; I just need it to be polished smoothly and about the size of that pendant we just discussed, and the type of jade doesn't have to be exactly the one we discussed, but I need to see it first to decide." Upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu's eyes lit up with excitement.

His money didn't just appear out of nowhere; it was from a thousand-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum that he had saved. Besides wanting to buy jade with this money, he was also thinking of saving some for his parents and using a portion to generate more money. After all, he would need to buy a lot of jade and various elixir ingredients for his cultivation in the future. He had to find a way to make money. Although he hadn't found a way yet, whatever it was would definitely require some initial capital.

However, because Ge Dongxu was not familiar with the jade market, and just as Jadeite's demand had reached a peak in the domestic market in recent years, it was only after seeing the prices that Ge Dongxu realized he had been too optimistic. Just buying the jade alone might deplete more than half of his wealth, which was largely thanks to Tang Yiyuan's connection that Tang Yahui had offered him a substantial discount, otherwise his money wouldn't have been enough to buy the jade.

"You really just need it polished smoothly? What if the size and thickness differ slightly from that pendant? Would that be an issue?" Tang Yahui, though having guessed that Ge Dongxu had a special purpose for such a large quantity of jade, couldn't help but show a trace of confused astonishment on her face, hesitating before asking again.

"As long as it has the texture of the jade we just saw, a slight difference in size, thickness, or even shape is no problem." Ge Dongxu thought for a moment before answering.

The reason he bought the jade was to inscribe Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans on it, akin to drawing talismans on yellow paper. But since the Spirit Gathering Array needed to continuously gather and store Spirit, yellow paper wouldn't suffice, so he needed jade that could gather and store Spirit to inscribe these talismans, especially the type of jade that could do so. Earlier, when Ge Dongxu was examining the jade, he was not actually using his eyes but using his True Qi to feel the texture of the jade, to see if the jade could retain the True Qi. The first pendant could gather and store a bit, but it didn't meet his standards; the second one did, though it was more expensive.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Clearly, the better the quality of the jade, the more effectively it could gather and store Spirit. Thus, the quality of the jade was more crucial for Ge Dongxu than the shape; it was just more convenient to write Formation Talismans on a rectangular shape, not that it had to be that specific shape and size. It was like with paper—square sheets could be written on, and so could round ones, the main thing was that the surface needed to be flat and smooth, suitable for writing. As for why Ge Dongxu needed two hundred pieces, he considered that currently, his success rate of drawing talismans on yellow paper was only about two percent, and achieving one percent on jade would be quite good, so to be safe, he needed two hundred pieces.

Of course, it was possible that none of the two hundred pieces would successfully be inscribed, but given the earlier price, two hundred was about the upper limit Ge Dongxu could afford, so if the engraving failed, he would have to think of another solution.
