Chapter 265: The Fault-Finding Guh Siqing (1)
Liao Jinglin’s words excited the already somewhat covetous jade enthusiasts, who indicated one after another that they wanted to bid for the pieces. The number of onlookers attracted by the noise also grew steadily. Seeing the situation unfold before him, Liao Jinglin felt an immense admiration for An Yiqing. If it were only a matter of extracting jade, the promotional effort for Xuanjin Yu Jade would still be insufficient. Only by involving everyone in the bidding could the company’s fame spread far and wide.
"Please, everyone, calm down," Liao Jinglin gestured with his hand to quiet the crowd, and then announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment. I will cut all the other rough stones before we start the auction together."
His words took everyone by surprise, and they began to whisper among themselves. It was no small feat to extract a piece of Golden Silk Jade from one hundred rough stones. Was this Liao Jinglin a fool? Did he really expect all the other rough stones to turn out green as well?
For a while, the attendees had various thoughts and looked at each other, nonplussed.
Liao Jinglin didn’t concern himself with what others were thinking. For him and Zhang Yuksheng, carrying out An Yiqing’s orders was the absolute truth.
Two assistants moved another larger rough stone onto the Stone-Cutting Table. Zhang Yuksheng didn’t say a word; he swiftly drew several marking lines and bowed his head to start working.
The Stone-Cutting Area quieted, the sound of the Stone-Cutting Machine being the only noise as everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Zhang Yuksheng, with his simple and rough method, still used the stone cutter to make a decisive cut, and instantly a purple radiance spilled out.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide as they intently watched Zhang Yuksheng’s movements. He switched from cutting to grinding, meticulously uncovering the other faces one by one.
