“I’m actually confused about what’s going on with you, Keyue, and the Shi family. But for me, Keyue is indeed the only friend who has ever acknowledged me since I was a kid.“
When Yuan Rui said this, he suddenly remembered Shi Yunnan’s compliment to him in the warehouse that day, so he silently added a sentence in his heart: You are the second.
Yuan Rui was a bit gifted in recognizing and judging raw stone and jade, but this ability was the most basic and least valuable in the eyes of jade carving masters like Yuan Puguang.
Seeing Yuan Rui, who still retained purity and seriousness in his eyes despite being drunk, Shi Yunnan understood—
Yuan Rui grew up under such repressive voices, and what he needed most was the approval of outsiders.
Xie Keyue was someone who could turn water into honey with words. He most likely approached Yuan Rui with ulterior motives from the very beginning.
In Shi Yunnan’s dream, Yuan Rui was indeed one of the few friends Xie Keyue was sincere with. Perhaps their friendship was built on such a foundation in the beginning.
“After I first rejected Keyue’s proposal, he added that he was willing to resign himself to his fate even if he ended up losing money.”
But the only condition for Xie Keyue’s investment was to let his friend Yuan Rui participate in Yuan’s jade design instead of him.
He said he was busy working for the Shi family. There was no way to do two things at once, so he could only invest money.
“The more he recognizes my ability to identify jade, the more I feel that it is better for me to guard the business for him. In the future, even if things go wrong, the decision-making power will be in Lu Zhao’an’s hands.“
Shi Yunnan’s lips twitched.
This time, Xie Keyue really packaged himself as a good person. On one hand, he gave Yuan Rui enough face, and on the other hand, he regarded himself as a hands-off shopkeeper1.
The first two projects he personally participated in fell into trouble, so Xie Keyue was probably more conservative this time.
But the most important thing was that Xie Keyue, the “book transmigrator,” never made uncertain investments. Since he was willing to invest in the Yuan family, it meant that Yuan’s jade design was destined to make money.
Yuan Rui poured the last sip of wine into his mouth and leaned against the cement wall while murmuring, “I was convinced by him, but, but at the same time, I also hid a bit of selfishness.”
“What is it?”
Yuan Rui snorted twice in a self-deprecating manner, and the grievance in his heart returned, “… I want to help him.”
Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the “him” that Yuan Rui was referring to was Lu Zhao’an. Even if Yuan Rui did not speak, he could still guess the reason—
Lu Zhao’an broke the Yuan family rule of “fine diamond jade carving” and switched to jade design, which must not be without questions and pressure from others. If too much money was lost in the end, all the responsibility and blame would fall on him alone.
