Chapter 263: Xuandu Jade Stone Conference (6)
"Notify Jinglin to meander within our line of sight," An Yiqing, standing beside a pile of rough jade stones, whispered to Zhang Yuksheng.
Zhang Yuksheng nodded respectfully and made a phone call. In no time, Liao Jinglin, dressed in a black suit, approached leisurely with two assistants within An Yiqing’s field of vision.
Under An Yiqing’s guidance, Liao Jinglin and his three assistants selected several unremarkable-looking rough jade stones—the largest was as big as a carry-on suitcase. The total price of these stones was well over ten million.
"Manager Zhang," Liao Jinglin feigned surprise and greeted him enthusiastically, shaking hands with Zhang Yuksheng, "I didn’t expect to see you here! Is this Miss An? Hello, hello, I am Liao Jinglin, the General Manager of Xuanjin Yu Jade."
As An Yiqing shook hands with Liao Jinglin, she felt a pang in her stomach and secretly scorned Liao Jinglin’s acting skills—putting on airs like a fraud.
Zhang Yuksheng cleared his throat, struggling to suppress a rising smile, and said seriously, "Manager Liao, long time no see."
"Old Brother Zhang, we know each other well, could you do me a favor?" Liao Jinglin asked tentatively, nervously rubbing his hands together.
"What is it? Just say the word, Brother Liao, and I’ll help if I can," Zhang Yuksheng replied.
"Ah! Great! Great!" Liao Jinglin, pretending to be thrilled, pointed to a few rough stones on the cart behind him and said, "I’ve heard that Old Brother Zhang is quite adept at stone-cutting. I’d like to request your help with these pieces. Yuyuanzhai is well-reputed, and I believe your skill surpasses that of any Master of Stone-Cutting here."
