Chapter 1434 The Black-Hearted Qin Wanli
"According to Qin family rules, the uncut jade rough that is cut should belong to the gambling stone master."
"That was the rule my eldest brother set. I think it was too kind. Now that I'm in charge, I will act according to the method I agreed upon, and give him a one hundred million hard work fee."
Qin Wanli said domineeringly, "I don't even want to pay a hundred million hard work fee."
"This..." Qin Ling was dumbfounded.
He had promised Chen Xuan properly, but how did it turn out like this? How could he explain to Chen Xuan?
Helplessly, Qin Ling could only leave first and return to his room. Qin Ling paced back and forth in the room, but he couldn't figure out how to explain to Chen Xuan.
Just as he feared, Qin Ling suddenly received a call from Chen Xuan.
Qin Ling looked at his phone and gave a wry smile. In the end, he still answered Chen Xuan's call.
"Mr. Qin, how much can the Qin family afford for the Emperor Green?" Chen Xuan got straight to the point.
Qin Ling hesitated, "This..."
Chen Xuan frowned. He seemed to have realized Qin Ling's problem and couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Qin, has something gone wrong?"
Qin Ling said with a wry smile, "Then I'll tell Mr. Chen the truth. Our family head is not here, and the second in command is in charge. Our second in command is not very agreeable and will only offer Mr. Chen a one hundred million hard work fee."
"One hundred million?"
They had previously said ten hundred million, but now it had become one hundred million. This was quite a difference, and Chen Xuan could not accept it for a moment.
"Mr. Qin, then it seems we cannot cooperate. According to the previous agreement, the Emperor Green should belong to me."
"Yes... I'll go and tell our second in command."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ling went directly to find the second in command.
"Qin Ling, you're not young anymore. Why are you so ill-mannered? Don't you know to knock before entering?"
The second in command was teasing a young maid when he was unexpectedly seen by Qin Ling. The second in command's face immediately turned grim.
"My apologies, Second in Command."
Qin Ling also secretly felt unlucky that he had run into this.
"What is it? Speak quickly,"
The second in command asked Qin Ling to speak after telling the young maid to step aside.
"I just contacted Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is no longer willing to sell the Emperor Green to our Qin family and wants to take back this Emperor Green."
Qin Ling got straight to the point.
"He says he won't sell, so he won't sell? Who does he think he is? Don't forget, if it weren't for our Qin family, he wouldn't have been able to cut this jade rough at all!" Qin Wanli's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said with great displeasure.
"Tell him that if he doesn't sell this Emperor Green to the Qin family, he won't get a single cent."
Qin Ling never expected Qin Wanli to be so domineering. He quickly said, "Second in Command, we can't do this! If we do this, aren't we biting the hand that feeds us and betraying our trust?"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Wanli frowned.
Qin Ling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This Mr. Chen Xuan offered a painting by Tang Bohu and a three-legged celadon plate that helped our Qin family win two rounds."
"At the gambling stone大会, Master Zhou made a mistake and actually cut a waste stone, causing our Qin family to be in a desperate situation in the treasure-guessing大会. It was Mr. Chen who cut the Emperor Green, which turned the tide. Otherwise, our Qin family would have lost this treasure-guessing大会!"
"What tide-turning? I think he just got lucky. Master Zhou told me just now that the kid just got lucky and chose a piece of jade rough that the Ma family didn't want, and that's how he cut the Emperor Green."
"This..."
Qin Ling never expected Qin Wanli to say such a thing.
"Just tell that kid that if he wants one hundred million, he can have it. If he doesn't want it, he won't be able to take the Emperor Green from our Qin family!" Qin Wanli waved his hand and told Qin Ling to leave.
Qin Ling never expected such a result.
He admired Chen Xuan very much and even wanted to win Chen Xuan over to the Qin family. But with this, how could he win Chen Xuan over?
Moreover, he also knew that Chen Xuan was definitely not someone to be trifled with. If the Qin family dared to deal with Chen Xuan in this manner, the Qin family would definitely not have a good ending!
He left Qin Wanli's residence and returned to his own room.
Then, Qin Ling called Chen Xuan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen..."
"When can I get my Emperor Green?"
Since the other party offered a lower price, Chen Xuan could sell the Emperor Green to someone else. How many people would clamor for such a precious jade?
"Mr. Qin, our second in command said this..."
Qin Ling was also annoyed by the second in command and repeated his exact words without any embellishment.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's face also darkened, "You tell your second in command that I will personally retrieve the Emperor Green. If he dares to stop me, I will make him pay the price!"
After saying that, Chen Xuan directly hung up the phone.
"This is trouble now!"
Qin Ling couldn't help but shiver.
He knew that this had caused trouble. As a member of the Qin family, he couldn't bear to fall out with Chen Xuan, so he quickly called the Qin family head, but the Qin family head's phone was always unreachable...
"Qin family, since you are so shameless, don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Xuan smiled grimly.
However, before that, Chen Xuan still had to get back the painting by Tang Bohu.
The next day, Chen Xuan drove directly to the Normandy Grand Hotel.
The Normandy Grand Hotel, as the most romantic grand hotel in the capital, naturally had extraordinary aspects. A large area of roses and violets were planted around, with various couple decorations. Every sculpture and scene arrangement carried a special meaning.
It was the weekend, and many couples were playing and taking photos. The surroundings were filled with romantic Qixi.
Red heart-shaped balloons were everywhere, and people were buying balloons, writing their wishes on the balloons, and then letting them fly.
Chen Xuan went straight to the Normandy Grand Hotel. As soon as he entered the Normandy Grand Hotel, a waiter walked up to him, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"Diana."
Chen Xuan said a name. He felt that Diana must have made arrangements long ago.
As he had predicted, as soon as the waiter heard Diana's name, they immediately said, "So you are Miss Diana's boyfriend? Miss Diana has already arrived, please follow me this way."
So, Chen Xuan followed the waiter inside, and as they walked, the waiter said, "Miss Diana booked the most expensive private room in our hotel. Sir, you are truly blessed to have found such a good girlfriend as Miss Diana."
Chen Xuan was dressed ordinarily, while Diana was of noble status and dressed extraordinarily. Although she didn't say anything, it was evident from her words that Chen Xuan was marrying up.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "You're mistaken, Diana is not my girlfriend."
"Uh..."
The waiter was stunned and found it incredible. If they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, why would they book a couple's room at the Normandy?
She smiled and said nothing, thinking that it was Chen Xuan's pride at play.
Soon, the waiter stopped in front of a private room door and pointed inside, saying, "Sir, here is your private room."
