Back at home, Li Rui asked his father, Li Jianmin, "Why did the owners' committee let me be the director?" Li Jianmin smiled proudly, "Isn't it because of your high position? Originally, they wanted Old Sui from the second building to be the director. Old Sui is the vice-chairman of the CPPCC in the northern district. Even after he retires, he is still a deputy county level official. But I don't see eye to eye with Old Sui, so I revealed your position. In the end, they all agreed to let you be the director. "Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry," Dad, can't you keep a low profile? Don't let everyone know about my situation. That won't be good. "Li Jianmin said," I know, I know. People should keep a low profile when they need to, and keep a high profile when they need to. Otherwise, people will look down on you. "
What he said made sense. Li Rui thought about it for a while and nodded. He went back to his room to take off his clothes and take a shower. He thought that Gao Zixuan would be coming tomorrow, so he took out the black jade ball he got from the tomb. Seeing that it was dirty, he found a clean towel and put it in the hot water. He put the black jade ball in the towel and carefully wiped it a few times. When he opened the towel, his eyes lit up and he was shocked. Where was the black jade ball?
What he put in the towel was clearly a black jade ball. He just used the towel to wipe it a few times, but when he unfolded the towel again, there was no longer a black jade ball inside. Instead, it was replaced by a light blue pearl that was sparkling with a misty color on its surface.
It was impossible to describe Li Rui's shocked reaction, but it was necessary to describe it briefly. His eyebrows were about to fly up, his eyes were wide open, his face was full of disbelief, and his mouth was so wide open that a duck egg could be stuffed in. If he didn't hear his father coughing in the living room, he would have thought that this was a dream.
"What … what is going on? A leopard cat swapping the crown prince? How did my black jade ball turn into this thing? "
Li Rui's first thought was that he didn't know when his black jade ball was replaced by a worthless marbles. But when he looked at it carefully, he found that it was definitely not a marbles. This pearl was several times bigger than a common marbles and slightly smaller than a ping pong ball. It looked crystal clear, but in fact, it was not transparent. On the other hand, the commonly seen marbles were basically transparent, with colorful patterns embedded in the middle, and had a very obvious glassy texture. These characteristics could not be found on this light blue pearl at all.
He quickly went from a state of shock to a state of confusion. He gently closed the bedroom door, picked up the orb with one hand, and threw the towel on the bedside table with the other. He threw himself on the mattress and carefully observed the orb under the bedside lamp with the most dazzling light.
The pearl was about three centimeters in diameter. Even if it was slightly longer or shorter, it was still negligible. It looked about the size of a ping pong ball. It was round and had a light blue color. The surface of the pearl was sparkling and translucent, and there was a faint mist floating around it. It formed a blue and white halo, just like the pinkish-white halo formed on the surface of a pearl. It was heavy in the hand, and he didn't know what material it was made of. But anyone who saw it would understand that it was not an ordinary item.
Li Rui stared at it for a while and suddenly thought of something. He carefully put the pearl on the Simmons, got up and went to the bedside table to pick up the hot towel. He unfolded it and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, on the towel where the pearl was wiped, there was a black ink-like mark. He understood that the pearl was originally smeared with a black dye. This dye was relatively stable and would not fade under normal conditions. It would only fade when it was soaked in hot water. As a result, he was able to restore the original appearance of the pearl by accident.
He was very happy to understand this, but another question popped up in his mind. "Why would such a beautiful blue pearl be dyed with a black dye?"
Obviously, this question could not be answered by a person like him who didn't have a deep understanding of history, jewelry, folklore, funerary objects, and other natural sciences.
Suddenly, Li Rui's mind flashed with the image of a scholarly beauty. His eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. "Yes! How could I forget about her? She is an archeological team member. She must have a deep understanding of history, folklore, and funerary objects. I want to make friends with her. Isn't this a good opportunity to contact her? I'll call her tomorrow! "
He thought of Fang Zhitong, an archeological team member under the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics. She was an elegant and refined beauty with a scholarly temperament. He was deeply attracted to her when he first saw her at the Dragon King Temple Village dinner. Later, he finally got to know her shamelessly and asked for her phone number. He wanted to make friends with her when he returned to the city, but he didn't have a good opportunity. Now, wasn't this a great opportunity? Only a fool wouldn't take it!
After returning to the Simmons, he continued to admire the orb. He didn't know if it was because his eyes were playing tricks on him, but he suddenly realized that the white mist on the surface of the orb was actually fluttering and changing. He put down the pearl and rubbed his eyes. He picked it up again and looked at it. After looking at it for less than ten seconds, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Oh my god, the white cotton on the surface of the pearl was really moving! It was moving!
Li Rui didn't have much research on the composition of jewelry (which was actually an ore), but he had studied physics and chemistry. He knew that the existence of the white cotton was in two forms. One was a gas, and the other was a liquid. It was definitely not a solid state. A solid state wouldn't flow. Logically speaking, a piece of gemstone, which was actually an ore formed by a chemical reaction with metal molecules, might contain water and gas when it was formed.
For example, one of the most common accessories, amber, could often be seen with a huge bubble inside. The problem was, it was understandable that it contained water or air, but how did the water and air flow inside the gemstone? It was known that the flow of the white cotton on the surface of the pearl wasn't caused by someone reversing the rotation. It was the movement of the white cotton on its own. To put it more bluntly, the inside of the pearl was covered with endless white clouds. The clouds were constantly floating and spreading in all directions. The scene could be said to be extremely strange and magical!
Li Rui almost couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at it blankly for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes and moved his eyeballs. He rested for almost a minute before opening them again. At this time, he stared at the pearl again. Oh my god, it was really too magical. The layer of white cotton was still floating and flowing.
Was this real?
Li Rui was extremely excited. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at the light on the roof. He felt that it was very likely the effect of the pearl under the light. He rolled his eyes and had an idea. He took the pearl and hid in the corner of the wall, using his body to block most of the light. In this way, the effect of the Ambilight should be greatly reduced, right? At this time, he stared at the pearl again. Yes, the effect of the flowing white cotton was really a little worse. However, he could still clearly see the white cotton flowing and drifting.
"F * ck, this is a treasure!"
Although he wasn't clear about the quality of the pearl, nor did he know the reason for the formation of the white cotton, he could still easily determine that this pearl was a rare treasure. This was because, at least in the current world, he had never heard of any jade that had a flowing white cotton in it. The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. This pearl was very likely to become a peerless treasure because of its rarity!
After Li Rui understood this point, a thought suddenly came to his mind. Was he really going to give such a rare treasure to that brat, Gao Zixuan? Was he willing to do so? If this pearl was rare in the world, then its value could be in the billions or even billions. If he sold it, then not only would he be able to live a carefree life in this generation, even dozens of generations after him wouldn't be able to afford it. From then on, he would be able to live a happy and carefree life … Why would he still need to work? Why would he still need to fight in the political field? He would just directly become a living god.
An intense struggle arose in his mind. All kinds of thoughts came one after another. He stood in the bedroom in a daze. After a long time, he yawned and realized that he was extremely tired and needed to rest. He looked at the time. It was already 11 o 'clock. He was a little shocked. He was actually immersed in endless fantasies for more than an hour. He was really immersed in a beautiful dream.
Lights out, sleep!
He lay on the mattress, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. When he thought that he had a rare treasure in the world, he was so excited that he clenched his fists. His whole body was filled with strength, and he couldn't wait to find someone to beat him up. He first thought for a long time, then giggled for a while like a silly boy. Later, he felt uneasy, so he took out the pearl from under the pillow and held it tightly in his hand. At a certain moment, when he opened his eyes, he was shocked again!
This pearl was actually glowing. It emitted a faint green light. The light was not weak, and it made his palm turn green as well. It was as scary as a ghost's claw.
He was completely petrified. His entire body couldn't move. He stared at the glowing pearl in his hand in a daze. After a long time, he crawled up and picked up the pearl. He held it in front of his eyes and carefully observed it in the dark. He confirmed that it was this pearl that was glowing. He touched it with his hand. It was a cold light, without the slightest bit of warmth. It was cold, which was the inherent state of jade. At this moment, a light flashed in his mind. He suddenly thought of something and said to himself, "Oh my god, this can't be the legendary Night Pearl, right?"
No one knew what time Li Rui went to sleep that night. However, if one looked in from his bedroom window, they could see that his bedroom flashed with a faint green light from time to time.
