“You’re going to City Teng? Me too!” Zhao Yuefeng was more than excited now, because he knew that Gu Ning had to be going to City Teng for stone gambling.
“Which flight are you going to be aboard?” Gu Ning asked.
“Mine will take off at 1:20 pm. How about you?” Zhao Yuefeng asked.
“We’re the same. Please have a seat,” Gu Ning said.
“Sure,” Zhao Yuefeng sat down beside Gu Ning. He had an intention to go on the trip with Gu Ning so that she might help him pick raw materials.
“Mr. Zhao, did you just ignore me?” Meanwhile, Master Zhang’s slightly accusing voice sounded, but he wasn’t being arrogant actually. The two were familiar with each other.
Master Zhang was surprised to see that Zhao Yuefeng respected Gu Ning greatly. He could tell that Zhao Yuefeng admired Gu Ning’s ability instead of her influence. Exactly because of that, Master Zhang was curious to know about her ability which impressed Zhao Yuefeng.
Zhao Yuefeng immediately looked over and saw Master Zhang. He was surprised as well as excited. “Master Zhang, it’s so nice to meet you! I’m so sorry I didn’t notice you just then. We haven’t seen each other for months! How are you doing now?”
“Just the same. It’s an old disease. Maybe I should feel lucky that it doesn’t kill me,” Master Zhang replied airily, but seemed sad. Although he was still alive, it was a torture to be ill.
Master Zhang apparently didn’t want to talk about it, so he changed the subject. “It seems your business is thriving now that you’re going to City Teng again!”
“My business is just fine. And it’s the end of the year, so I want to take a chance and see whether there is good jade in City Teng,” Zhao Yuefeng said. “Do you have new raw materials, Master Zhang?”
A raw material provider with the family name Zhang?
Hearing that, Gu Ning thought of her investigation of the raw material providers in City Teng. There were three main providers of raw materials in City Teng, and the Zhang Family was one of them.
Other than providing raw materials, the Zhang Family also ran a jewelry company with a few dozen billion yuan in assets.
Is this old man the head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Decheng? Gu Ning thought.
In fact, this old man was exactly the head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Decheng.
Although Gu Ning wasn’t quite sure about it, she believed that she guessed correctly.
If it was possible, she wanted to make an alliance with the Zhang Family and pick out all the raw materials with jade inside. Gu Ning wasn’t going to sell raw materials, but open a company to supply jade. In that case, it would be much easier for her to make money.
After all, it was troublesome to buy raw materials in stores and easily attracted much attention from people, but it would be totally different if she could sell jade through a company.
However, she lacked a capable man to help her manage the company. Therefore, Gu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to deal with it right now.
“Not yet. There are plenty left from the first batch, and we won’t exploit the next batch until the second half of the year,” Master Zhang said.
Normally, a mountain would be exploited two to three times. And the raw materials that were mined out every time were enough for consumption within a year or two. In that case, it was a long-term thing to exploit raw materials.
“Miss Gu, do you have an interest to visit Master Zhang’s raw material store when we arrive at City Teng?” Zhao Yuefeng asked.
“Sure!” Gu Ning was of course willing to do that.
“I bet she knows nothing about stone gambling!” Zhang Hanyin said with obvious disdain.
“Zhang Hanyin, shut your mouth right now!” Master Zhang was finally annoyed at Zhang Hanyin’s impoliteness. He felt ashamed that his granddaughter behaved like that in public. “Don’t forget your manners! Who do you think you are? You don’t have the right to mock others!”
Zhang Hanyin was scared and remained quiet. There was no grudge between her and Gu Ning, but she just disliked Gu Ning for no reason.
Zhao Yuefeng had no positive opinions of Zhang Hanyin. He had met her several times before, and she always behaved arrogantly. Not to mention the fact that Gu Ning’s ability of stone gambling was extremely outstanding, she had no right to stop Gu Ning from visiting her grandpa’s store.
The rest of the people in the Zhang Family were polite with good manners, but unfortunately, this Zhang Hanyin behaved utterly different from her family.
At this moment, the intercom announced that their flight was going to take off soon, so they stopped talking and stood up to board the plane.
They would be getting aboard the same plane to City Teng, so they walked together to the boarding gate.
Master Zhang’s group sat in the first class, while Gu Ning and Zhao Yuefeng sat in the economy class.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport in City Teng.
Master Zhang’s group got off the plane first, and waited for Zhao Yuefeng and Gu Ning for a while outside.
After they met each other again, Zhang Hanyin glared at Gu Ning to show her hatred towards her, but she didn’t dare to say a word again. Gu Ning, instead, ignored her directly.
There was an exclusive MPV to pick up Master Zhang. They all were going to the street of raw materials, so Master Zhang invited them to take his car, and Zhao Yuefeng as well as Gu Ning agreed.
They walked out of the exit to the parking lot. However, all of a sudden, an old man before them stopped and trembled continuously.
“Master!”
The middle-aged man beside the old man was shocked, but before he could catch the old man’s body, the old man fell down on the ground directly. His face turned pale and his body kept trembling.
“Master!”
“Call the ambulance now! Master is having a heart attack!”
Seeing that, Gu Ning dashed to them and half knelt down beside the old man’s body, reaching out her hands to press on his chest without hesitation.
“What are you doing?” the middle-aged man shouted and was about to pull Gu Ning away.
“Shut your mouth if you don’t want him to die!” Gu Ning snapped.
Master Zhang and others followed her, but didn’t know what was going on.
Gu Ning ignored all of them, looking at the old man she asked him clearly, “If you trust me, please nod.”
The old man felt too uncomfortable to say a word, but he was still conscious. Seeing Gu Ning’s face, he felt familiar out of the blue, and trusted her at first sight. In addition, time was his life now. He didn’t have time to wait for the ambulance. Thus the old man nodded slightly.
