108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 83: Completion 8
Just open a jewelry store!
My main business is jade jewelry, and I also sell some gold and silver jewelry, so I should make quite a bit of money.

Thinking of this, she entered the newly opened stone gambling shop.

Ning Yan first picked out three pieces of raw material and opened them on the spot. After two pieces were opened, the third piece turned out to be an icy apple green.

She sold the material on the spot and used the proceeds to pick out fourteen pieces of raw material in the store. One of the pieces was a large piece that was one meter tall and as thick as two people. The raw material store also helped her transport the raw material back to the courtyard.

Ning Yan immediately ordered another set of stone-cutting machines, and it took her two days to cut out all the raw materials.

Among them was a piece of glass-type red jadeite the size of a goose egg, and it was also cockscomb red. Ning Yan took this piece of red jadeite and showed it to Qu Changlin, "Do you like it?"

Qu Changlin nodded, "It's very beautiful, I like it. Is it worth money?"

He really doesn't understand this.

Ning Yan said: "It's not worth much now, but if it is carved into a finished product in 20 or 30 years, it will be able to sell for several million.

I'm glad you like it. I plan to make this jadeite into two jade pendants, one for you and one for me, so they can be considered couple jade pendants. However, I need to buy the carving tools first, so you have to wait."

Qu Changlin was so happy that he worked even harder at housework. He prepared three meals for Ning Yan in different ways every day and also prepared beautiful clothes for her.

Knowing that she was going to open a jewelry store, Ning Yan found a store in Wangfujing and bought it directly, and even hired two master craftsmen with superb carving skills. Ning Yan simply brought them into the courtyard, and the three of them started carving the jade together.

Soon, the two jade pendants carved by Ning Yan were completed.

When making the jade pendant, she subconsciously carved it into a phoenix, one phoenix and one phoenix, a male phoenix and a female phoenix. The two jade pendants can be combined into one or worn separately.

The two masters were amazed at her carving skills. "Boss, your carving skills are clearly better than ours. My stuff is not good enough."

Ning Yan: "You two are too modest. I still have a lot to learn from you two. Besides, I will buy more and more raw materials in the future, so I will have to trouble you a lot!"

Masters Zhang and Li thought about the top-grade jadeite that Ning Yan had shown them before. Tired? Not at all!

As a jade carver, it is a blessing to be able to carve a piece of such material with your own hands in your lifetime, not to mention that their boss has more than a dozen pieces!

Moreover, I heard that the boss gambled for those materials herself, so who knows if she won’t gamble for more in the future?
When they came here, they felt like they had fallen into a den of top-notch jadeite. They would not agree even if the boss wanted to drive them away!

After communicating with the two masters, Ning Yan returned to the house and put the Phoenix pendant on Qu Changlin's neck personally. She asked him to put the Phoenix pendant on her. Qu Changlin was so excited that he pushed him down on the bed.

……

After Ning Yan left, the few remaining red jadeite scraps were used by two teachers, who ground them into two ring faces and a pair of earrings. The rest were too small, so they were simply ground into the size of broken diamonds, which can be used to make a red jadeite brooch or something like that in the future.

After seeing the finished products, Ning Yan sighed at how well the two masters knew how to live. They did not even let go of the slightest scrap of material. She then confidently handed over the carving task to the two of them.

After being pestered by Qu Changlin all day long, he finally found some time to "take apart" the inkstone. The bottom of an inkstone is basically only two or three centimeters thick, but this inkstone looked much thicker. After taking it apart, he indeed discovered the secret inside.

The bottom of the inkstone was hollowed out, and a small package was stuffed inside.

Open the protective film on the outside and the treasure inside will be revealed.

A total of forty-three top-grade pigeon blood rubies.

Ning Yan took out the instrument and weighed the rubies. The largest one weighed 27.38 carats, and the smallest one weighed 5.21 carats. These were a total of top-quality pigeon blood rubies!
In 1998, Sotheby's sold a 16-carat Burmese ruby ​​for $227.301 per carat.

What does it represent?

It means Ning Yan became rich overnight!

After that, she went out a few more times and bought back a lot of raw materials and antiques, but the gains were not as great.

Because she plans to participate in next year's jade public auction, she has to prepare funds in advance, so she buys and cuts the rough materials at the same time, selling some mid- and low-end jades and keeping the top-quality ones to take home and cut herself.

By the time of the Chinese New Year, she had a room full of raw materials and almost two million in cash in her account.

There was no way. Jadeite was not very expensive at that time, and she bought a lot of material. She had to spend a lot of brain cells to save so much money.

It turns out that she is more suitable for lying down. It is really too tiring to support a man!
In the blink of an eye it’s the end of the year.

Ning Yan and Qu Changlin went out to buy New Year's goods.

She said she was supporting a lover, but it seemed that she had never spent any money on this man except for the 20,000 yuan household expenses she put at home at the beginning, so she planned to take him to the mall for a shopping spree.

Qu Changlin is tall and has long legs, and he looks particularly stylish in suits. Ning Yan helped him pick out several suits, as well as leather shoes, underwear, jackets, and even his underwear, all of which were picked out by Ning Yan personally.

Qu Changlin was shy but happy.

However, there were too many things to buy today. Seeing that his hands were almost full, Qu Changlin quickly pulled Ning Yan's hand, who was trying to pick out autumn johns for him, and said, "Let's buy these first. It's almost twelve o'clock. Aren't you hungry?"

Ning Yan: "Then let's find a place to eat first."

The two of them went out today, and Qu Changlin drove out his sister-in-law's car. As soon as they put the things in the car, they looked up and saw Gu Jianguo and Hu Weihong who were also out shopping.

The two of them had obviously been standing here for a while, because Gu Jianguo's expression was really ugly, and his eyes were red. The look he gave Ning Yan was full of disbelief!

Hu Weihong originally didn't know why the man next to her stopped, but she soon followed Gu Jianguo's gaze and saw Ning Yan!
This damn woman, why did she become more beautiful in such a short time after her divorce?

The original Ning Yan was very good-looking, and she had never seen anyone prettier than Ning Yan.

Now, there is no need to compare at all. She is not only beautiful, but also has a unique temperament, giving people a very elegant and calm feeling.

How is this possible?

Wouldn't Gu Jianguo be even more reluctant to let go of Ning Yan when he saw her like this?

However, when she saw the man next to Ning Yan, she felt relieved instantly. No wonder the person she was looking for couldn't find Ning Yan at all. It turned out that she had already found another man!
After she took a closer look at Qu Changlin, she felt uncomfortable again. Why could Ning Yan find a man who was no less inferior to Gu Jianguo after being dumped by Gu Jianguo?

So Hu Weihong took the initiative to speak first: "Ning Yan, I didn't expect to see you here. Who is this person next to you?"
