"I … I'm sorry, Ding Ning. I didn't expect it to be like this. I … I'm leaving!"
Murong Yanran couldn't sit still anymore. She hurriedly said something and ran away. She blamed herself for messing up the welcome banquet.
"Let me see you off!"
This time, Luoxue plucked up the courage to fly into a rage. At the moment, she was also anxious. She hurriedly stood up to see Murong Yanran off to ease her nervousness. When she saw Ling Yun and Zhao Jingjing secretly give her a thumbs-up, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I'll see her off. I have something to talk to her about!"
Ding Ning patted Ding Qianlie's shoulder to comfort her, stood up, and walked out of the door.
"I'm sorry, Ding Ning. I don't know what's wrong with me today. I'm really sorry!"
Outside the door, Murong Yanran apologized to Ding Ning formally again, with a look of self-blame on her face.
"It's okay, sister. How's the company's preparation going?"
Ding Ning didn't want the atmosphere to be awkward anymore, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Everything is ready, except for one last thing. The license is being processed. We don't lack gold and silver, but we don't have many jade wares. We need to buy raw materials as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll be laughed at if we don't have any jade wares when we open the company. Myan will hold a public jade auction at the beginning of next month. I'm going to buy a batch of raw materials there. Do you have time to go with me?"
Speaking of business, Murong Yanran recovered her usual shrewdness and looked at Ding Ning expectantly. Although she didn't know how Ding Ning did it, she believed in Ding Ning's taste in choosing raw materials.
"Public jade auction!"
Ding Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. The "public jade auction" was a grand event for raw jade trading. It was a unique and fair way of auction. The public auction usually lasted about 10 days. Myan had a strict management of jade resources. Only through the "public auction" could the jade be traded out of the country, and others would be regarded as smuggling.
Therefore, for jewelry businessmen, the public jade auction was no less than a grand event like the Cannes Film Festival in the entertainment circle. It was absolutely impossible for Ding Ning not to be interested.
"I'll try my best. If time permits, I'll definitely go."
After his trip to Dragon Eye Island, he realized how weak he was. He planned to open the second level of Wu Shen Palace after curing Sun Lanying's illness and accept the second weapon refinement to enhance his strength.
"Are you very busy?"
Murong Yanran was a little disappointed. She thought Ding Ning would agree immediately, but he was not sure.
"Yes, I have something to deal with recently. But don't worry, even if I don't have time, I will arrange for a master to go with you."
Ding Ning knew what she was worried about. He reached out and waved at Wasp, who was in charge of guarding in the distance.
"Young Master, you're back!"
Wasp ran over happily. They were very happy to know that Ding Ning was back, but they had to be on guard, so it was inappropriate for them to come over and greet him.
"Well, Wasp, call Master Mo over!"
Ding Ning smiled and patted Wasp on the shoulder.
"Alright, I'll go get him now."
Wasp scurried to the side building.
"Master Mo? Is he the Master Mo who was talked about in Fantastic Stones Shop some time ago? "
As a jewelry merchant, Murong Yanran certainly had heard of Master Mo. Hearing that, her eyes lit up and she asked excitedly.
"Yes, he is my man now. Let him buy raw materials in the future. What do you think?"
Ding Ning said proudly. It was very pleasant to show off in front of the woman he liked. Especially when he saw Murong Yanran's sparkling eyes, the satisfaction in his heart instantly reached the peak.
"Okay, that's great. But, how did you do it?"
Murong Yanran was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. She unconsciously grabbed Ding Ning's hand and asked excitedly.
"I have my own plan!"
Ding Ning took the opportunity to take advantage of her and said with an unfathomable look.
"Damn you! You only know how to pretend to be mysterious!"
Murong Yanran blushed and withdrew her hand coquettishly. She thought to herself, "This brat is getting bolder and bolder now. He dares to take advantage of me in broad daylight. But it's strange that I don't have much aversion to it."
"Young Master, you called for me!"
Master Mo trotted over and bowed to Ding Ning respectfully.
What a joke! The Demon Cult was completely annihilated because of this young man in front of him. As a small role in the Demon Cult, he didn't dare to have any disloyalty.
But his attitude made Murong Yanran very angry. She looked at him suspiciously. If she hadn't seen him from a distance, she would have suspected that Ding Ning had found a random person to fool him.
It should be noted that Master Mo was extremely arrogant when she saw him at that time. A capable superior should have the pride of a superior. How could he be a superior without a bit of character?
But this Master Mo in front of her was so humble in front of Ding Ning, and he even faintly flattered him, which really subverted all her cognition.
"Hello, Master Mo. I'm Murong Yanran. I've heard a lot about Master Mo. It's a great honor!"
Murong Yanran took the initiative to greet him with a little nervousness. After all, if Master Mo joined the company, it would soon become famous in the jewelry circle.
Master Mo turned his head to look at Murong Yanran, and his eyes lit up. "What a beautiful girl!" Involuntarily, he put on the style of being surrounded by a group of people in the past, raised his chin at a 45-degree angle, and squeezed out a single syllable from his nose. "Hmm!"
Murong Yanran was relieved. "This style of a superior is indeed Master Mo, who is exactly the same as what I saw at that time."
"Pah!"
At this moment, Ding Ning suddenly slapped the back of his head, which made him stagger.
"What are you doing?"
Murong Yanran was shocked and angry. She hurriedly shouted, blaming Ding Ning for not knowing the seriousness of the situation. "If I annoy Master Mo and cause him to lose the chance to join the company, it will be a pity."
But the next scene made her open her small mouth in astonishment, and she was instantly petrified.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes grumpily and scolded Master Mo, "Hmm your head! This is my sister. She runs a jewelry company. From now on, you will follow my sister and be responsible for purchasing raw materials. You will provide food and accommodation, and you will get a salary of 2,000 yuan every month. You must ensure that the raw materials you choose can reach a rate of more than 90% of jade. Do you understand?"
Master Mo immediately put away his sage-like superior image, smiled like a chrysanthemum, nodded and bowed, and said, "It turns out to be First Miss. It's no wonder that I was blind. Young Master, don't worry. I promise that I can achieve a rate of more than 90% of jade every time I choose raw materials in the future."
"Well, remember, don't play tricks with me. You can't just guarantee that there's jade. You have to guarantee that there's more than 50% of the bet. If you let my sister lose money, I'll skin you alive."
Ding Ning nodded with satisfaction, but he was afraid that this guy did not work hard, so he warned seriously.
"Young Master, don't worry. I don't dare to promise more, but I can achieve a rate of more than 50%. Just wait and see my performance!"
Hearing this, Master Mo felt relieved. He was afraid that Ding Ning would indiscriminately force him to achieve a rate of more than 70% of jade, and then he would be at a loss.
His Stone Louse Gu could only distinguish whether there was jade in the raw stones, but he could not guarantee the quality. But now Ding Ning only asked for a rate of 50% of jade, and he was confident that he could achieve it easily as long as he was not extremely unlucky.
Ding Ning thought for a while and still felt a little worried, so he took out a bottle of pills and handed it to him. "Give this pill to your baby. It should be much more efficient than now."
Master Mo took the bottle and opened it. He smelled a fragrance, and the Stone Louse Gu in his body had a strong desire. Instantly, he trembled all over and cried out involuntarily, "Spirit Elixir!"
Ding Ning looked at him with great surprise. "Hey, you know the Spirit Elixir?"
Master Mo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his hands trembled as if he was holding a peerless treasure. "I have seen this kind of elixir in an ancient book. Young Master, where did you get it? It is an elixir that can make my baby develop intelligence."
Ding Ning smiled without saying anything. To some extent, the Magic Mosquito was also a kind of Gu, and he could not live only by drinking his essence and blood. Therefore, he refined the Spirit Elixir, the lowest level among the Earth-level elixirs, as the Magic Mosquito's usual rations, and it could also increase its intelligence.
"Old Mo is too talkative, too talkative!"
Only then did Master Mo realize that he had asked too much. With a hollow laugh, he carefully put away the elixir as if he had obtained the most precious treasure. He was ecstatic in his heart, and it seemed that he had foreseen the magnificent scene of the Stone Louse Gu developing intelligence and killing everything in its way.
If he knew that the elixir that he regarded as an elixir was only refined by Ding Ning as the Magic Mosquito's usual rations and taken to his family's black leopards, Air Force Wings, crocodiles, and other pets as snacks, no one knew whether he would cry bitterly and shout that it was a reckless waste of God's gift.
Murong Yanran was totally confused and couldn't understand the conversation between Ding Ning and Master Mo. What did they mean by more than 90% jade yield? What did they mean by more than 50%? Could stone gambling be played in this way?
"Okay, you can go with my sister now. You can follow her and run errands for a few days, so that my sister will not be tired. If you perform well, I will get you a few bottles of Spirit Elixir later."
Ding Ning waved his hand and gave an order without hesitation. He knew that for Master Mo, who was devoted to Gu Taoism, the money in the secular world was not too tempting. Only the elixir that could make the Gu Insect develop intelligence and become stronger was what he desired most.
"Yes, Young Master, just look at Old Mo's performance. First Miss, Old Mo will be your subordinate from now on. If you need anything, just tell me!"
Master Mo was overjoyed. A Spirit Elixir was enough to make the Stone Louse Gu develop simple intelligence. The more Spirit Elixirs it took, the higher the intelligence of the Gu Insect would be. At that time, it would be a piece of cake for him to choose the raw materials and achieve a 100% gambling rate.
No one would complain about having too many good things. If Young Master could reward him a little more, the other Gu Insects in his body might evolve to the level of Gu King. At that time, who in the Gu World would dare to look down on him, Master Mo?
"Uh, okay, then Master Mo, you can go with me now!"
Murong Yanran felt like she was dreaming and took Master Mo as her subordinate in a muddle. She glanced at Ding Ning with complicated eyes and felt that this cheap younger brother seemed to be more mysterious.
After watching Murong Yanran leave, Ding Ning rubbed his temples with a headache. Finally, he got one, but there were still a lot of them in the room, and he did not know how to face them.
Fortunately, when he went back, he found that few people paid attention to him, and they were all persuading Ding Qianlie not to drink anymore.
