Chapter 79 This is threatening her
This is his imperial green, a treasure that should belong to him!
"Oh, this is interesting."
Old Chen stood up, walked to the box, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Mr. Zhao is really generous. He took out five top-grade jadeite in one go. That's quite a lot of money!"
Yu Zhihai took a glance and was slightly surprised. These five jades were worth a lot of money, especially the royal purple one, which even made him excited.
You know, this thing is even rarer and more precious than imperial green.
"Mr. Chen, is there anything here that you like?" Zhao Ziqing asked expectantly.
"Haha, this royal purple, if it was a few years ago, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist the temptation."
Old Chen gently stroked the royal purple, a smile on his lips.
"But in the past two years, I've carved less frequently and have become more demanding of jadeite... This royal purple is still a little short of the right temperature."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziqing couldn't help feeling disappointed. It seemed that she was still rejected.
"Hmph, Mr. Zhao, I think we should retreat."
Lin Fan sneered.
"Perhaps what Mr. Chen said is sincere. He has not carved much in recent years, and his skills have become rusty. He is afraid of making a mistake and embarrassing himself."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Lao's face darkened. Shame on you? This was not a pleasant thing to hear.
"Be bold!"
The middle-aged man who had led them in earlier had his eyes wide open with anger.
"Mr. Zhao, please leave!"
Zhao Ziqing smiled bitterly. It was over. Not only was she rejected, but she also completely annoyed Chen Minghong.
From now on, I’m afraid there won’t even be any chance for cooperation.
Just as she nodded and prepared to take Lin Fan away, Old Chen suddenly spoke.
"Wait, young man, your provocation won't work on me! If it's not the jade that satisfies me, I won't take action, no matter who comes!"
"Master Chen, you are unwilling to use the knife because you are not satisfied with the jade. What about your disciple? You are willing to accept a disciple you are not satisfied with?"
Lin Fan looked directly at Mr. Chen and asked.
"When did I say I wanted to accept disciples?" Old Chen shook his head.
"I just politely declined them, but I rejected you directly." Lin Fan pointed at the royal purple.
"Mr. Chen, may I ask what kind of jade would satisfy you?"
"It's rare in the world. Although royal purple is rare, it's not particularly rare." Old Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"I might as well give you a chance. If you can get that level of jade within a month, not only will I not refuse, I will also carve it for you for free!"
"Okay, a gentleman's word is as good as gold." Lin Fan agreed without hesitation.
"Mr. Zhao, did you hear that? Mr. Chen promised personally that the engraving would be free."
Zhao Ziqing smiled helplessly. Mr. Chen was not even satisfied with the Royal Purple. It would be difficult for him to find a jadeite that he was truly satisfied with.
But when she thought of Lin Fan's abilities, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
What if... I really found it?
"Old Yu, I'll give them a chance, and I'll give you a chance too."
Old Chen turned to Yu Zhihai again, his tone indifferent.
"If your grandson can't seize this opportunity, don't say anything, lest you ruin our friendship."
Yu Zhihai was furious. If Lin Fan hadn't been so nosy, he might have continued lobbying and gotten Lao Qin and the others to join in. This might have turned the situation around.
Didn’t he bring Qin Ming and the others here just to put some pressure on Chen Minghong?
Even if Chen Minghong doesn't give him face, he has to give Qin Ming and the others some face!
Now, taking advantage of Lin Fan's topic, Chen Minghong made things clear.
If they put more pressure on him, they would just give Chen Minghong no face.
Zhao Ziqing seemed to be thinking, is Mr. Chen using Lin Fan to politely reject Yu Zhihai?
So, did Lin Fan do it unintentionally, or was he deliberately trying to give Mr. Chen a way out?
If it's the latter, this man's scheming is unfathomable!
She looked at Lin Fan, who winked at her.
"Old Chen, what opportunity?"
Yu Zhihai suppressed his anger and asked.
"Don't be impatient."
Old Chen stood up and walked towards the back hall.
"Zhao Ziqing, Mr. Chen won't carve for you, and I can't do it either!" Yu Zhihai said coldly.
"Old man, aren't you too narcissistic? Have we ever asked you to carve for us?" Lin Fan was speechless.
"We dare not trouble you to carve it. What if your craftsmanship is not good enough and your jade is ruined? What will we do then?"
When Lin Fan said this, Yu Zhihai was enraged and slammed the table. "Zhao Ziqing, is this your attitude?"
"That's true. Mr. Yu, please rest assured. I won't cause you any trouble." Zhao Ziqing said in a cold tone.
"you……"
Yu Zhihai was so angry that he almost passed out.
"Okay, very good, I'll inform them and they won't be allowed to carve any of them for you!"
Zhao Ziqing frowned slightly. Is this a threat to her?
"What's wrong? They are your biological sons, so why are they so obedient? Just because you tell them not to carve, they won't carve?"
Lin Fan curled his lips.
puff.
Zhao Ziqing, who was originally a little nervous, couldn't help but laugh.
This guy really has some skills.
In just one sentence, the situation was turned around.
If this were to reach the ears of other masters, and they refused, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they were Yu Zhihai's sons?
Moreover, the nine masters are not all harmonious with each other, and there is competition among them. Not everyone will give face to Yu Zhihai.
Just when Yu Zhihai was about to explode, Old Chen came out holding a tray.
The tray was covered with a red silk cloth.
"These are the seven mythical beasts I carved at different stages. If Xiao Yu can identify which one was created when I became a Grandmaster, I will accept him as my apprentice."
Mr. Chen put down the tray and spoke slowly.
"If you can't tell the difference, don't even mention the idea of accepting me as your disciple."
"Row."
Yu Zhihai nodded. At this point, he had no way out.
As Old Chen unveiled the red cloth, Lin Fan took one look and almost burst out laughing.
Divine beast?
Isn’t this a little turtle?
"The mythical beast Xuanwu."
Old Chen glanced at Lin Fan and said lightly.
"cough."
Lin Fan suppressed his laughter and took a closer look. It was true. There was a snake wrapped around the little turtle's back.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the black tortoise.
Even a layman like Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being a master. This little turtle, no, this black tortoise was carved so vividly and lifelike!
Lying there, like alive!
"Old Chen, this is too difficult, isn't it? They're exactly the same, how can we tell them apart? Not to mention him, even I can't tell them apart for a while."
Yu Zhihai frowned.
"Old Yu, I want to accept you as my last disciple, so the standards are naturally high."
Mr. Chen said seriously.
"Otherwise, I'd rather not accept it...Xiao Yu, let's get started. I'll give you half an hour."
"Yes."
Yu Lei responded and stepped forward to observe carefully.
However, no matter how you look at it, the seven mythical beasts are exactly the same, with no difference at all.
"As expected of Grandmaster Chen."
Zhao Ziqing murmured in admiration. This was not mass-produced by machines, but hand-carved. The fact that it was completely consistent was enough to prove the master's superb skills.
