Between men and women, ambiguity is the most beautiful thing.

Getting along with Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu always made Su Yehao feel smug.

Raising two small fish in one fish pond, and they don't even fight—this is truly rare and valuable. One half of his dream has come true.

As for the other half... he didn't have the guts to try it, lest he break the hard-won balance.

Su Yehao didn't accompany them when they went to the interview since there was nothing he could do to help.

Today, a large sum of money appeared in his account. Counting his other assets, apart from the loans owed to the bank, his total net worth was almost six billion US dollars, most of which was contributed by the soon-to-be-listed Yanwenzi Group.

Although it was only wealth on paper, mixed with too much hype and bubbles, just thinking about controlling such a large amount of wealth made Su Yehao feel physically and mentally happy.

After continuing to read emails for a while, and dealing with more than a dozen emails from his senior executives, Su Yehao forwarded the content to the assistant's office to follow up.

Then he called Linda Yun over and asked, "Do you know of any fun places nearby?"

Linda Yun, as if performing a magic trick, took out a travel brochure from her bag and smiled:

"I knew you would ask. I got it from the lobby downstairs. When traveling here, of course you have to go to Alishan and Sun Moon Lake, or go to Kenting to see the sea, go to Yangmingshan to soak in the hot springs, and there seems to be a place called Green Island, which is suitable for diving. I should have seen it in that movie, or maybe a magazine, I forgot."

"...I mean nearby. It's no problem to go to the mountains to escape the summer heat, but soaking in hot springs, wouldn't we get heatstroke in this weather? Let's wait until those two come back, lest they make a fuss with me."

Su Yehao thought for a while, and then said to Linda Yun: "I made a fortune today, and I suddenly have an urge to spend it. Help me ask if there are any formal antique shops here, the kind that sells high-quality goods. It would be even better if they have national treasures."

"Okay, I guess there is also an antique market like Liulichang here. I just want to buy a gift to give to my mom..."

After Linda Yun finished speaking, she immediately called the hotel front desk to inquire about the relevant situation.

She soon learned that there was a place called Jianguo Holiday Jade Market that was particularly lively. Before the opening of the Panjiayuan Market in Si Jiucheng, this used to be the largest antique and cultural relic market in Asia.

No sooner said than done.

The main reason why Su Yehao suddenly wanted to buy antiques was that he felt that many good treasures had been brought here by others back then. Although a large part of them went to the Little Forbidden City, there should be many in private hands as well.

Being too rich is also quite a headache.

If you want to spend a lot of money to have fun, not to mention investments, the rest is just buying houses, airplanes, or yachts, or buying art, or scattering money for charity, and so on.

He already had a private plane, and Su's father also had a yacht worth 200 million Hong Kong dollars. As for houses, buying too many is equivalent to buying them for the housekeeper and nanny.

For example, the one in Silicon Valley; the housekeeper lives there longer than Su Yehao. The same goes for the Siheyuan in Si Jiucheng. He just hired a few girls to maintain it on a daily basis, so as not to make it feel deserted. The flowers and plants need watering, the fish in the pond need someone to feed them. If no one lives there for a few months, weeds will grow in the cracks of the stones in the yard.

As for luxury cars.

Even an armored Rolls-Royce costs more than a million US dollars. You can use it for a few years after buying it, and it retains its value especially well when resold. It really doesn't count as a large expense.

Looking around, if he wanted to buy something to reward himself, he had no choice but to set his sights on antiques and collectibles.

On the way to the market.

The surrounding area is mainly composed of low, old buildings, with all kinds of signs hanging on them. After looking at traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong for a long time, he felt no sense of incongruity.

There were motorcycles everywhere on the road, which were similar to electric scooters in later generations. They often traveled in groups, drilling through any available space, so it was a bit difficult to drive the car. The driver slammed on the brakes several times and kept apologizing to Su Yehao in embarrassment.

The city was planned early on. Back then, probably no one expected that there would be so many cars later, so some roads are narrow, and it is more convenient to ride a motorcycle.

It was not easy to get to Jianguo Holiday Jade Market.

As soon as he got out of the car, a heat wave hit him. Su Yehao shielded his eyes with his hand and said, "Let's go buy a hat first. It was stupid of me. I shouldn't have come out at this time. It's much more comfortable in the hotel."

"Just find a store and go in. Walk in the shade."

Linda Yun also went out with a tourist mentality. Compared with other secretaries, her daily life was simply like a fairy's life. She ran all over the world and, at the same time, followed Su Yehao to eat and drink well and earn money.

This led Linda Yun to occasionally feel that having a student like Su Yehao was really a blessing from her previous life.

It happened to be March, and today it was almost thirty degrees Celsius.

There was a drizzle in the morning, coupled with the high temperature and asphalt pavement, the heat was rising, and breathing was not smooth.

Seeing all kinds of modern handicrafts with clearly marked prices on the roadside stalls, Su Yehao took a quick look and first picked out a folding fan with the four characters "feng liu ti tang" (handsome and dashing) written on the fan surface.

It would be easy to be regarded as a sucker if he swaggered through the market with bodyguards, so he had them follow from a distance on the way here. At this moment, he only walked around with Linda Yun.

Linda Yun picked a string of agate, looked at it and then put it down, and asked worriedly, "Ah-hao, what do you think I should give my mom? Would it be better to buy a watch or a gold bracelet?"

Su Yehao shook his head without hesitation and said:

"If you ask me, just buy a piece of jade that is a little more expensive. If it is not carved by a master, just look at the material. It won't be too expensive now. Look at the concubines of the old gambling king's family. They also like to collect jade. You can often see them in photos. The appreciation potential is quite large in the future."

"It should be right to listen to you, so let's take a look."

First, they walked into a jade shop. Su Yehao was surprised to find that the price of jade with good luster was actually cheaper than that of dry green material without luster.

After asking the proprietress, he learned that they only looked at the color here, the greener the better.

After spending more than ten minutes, Linda Yun bought a Maitreya pendant, a sky-blue jade, for only more than 30,000 Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to more than 7,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus a sky-blue jade bracelet, which only cost 12,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The mainland economy had just begun to flourish, and there were not many people investing in this stuff, so the price always couldn't go up.

If it were twenty years later, even if the price doubled fifty times, you might not be able to buy a bracelet of this quality. Su Yehao suggested that she buy jade for her elders because he saw the potential for appreciation.

In this unfamiliar place, if you want to find good things, going to the largest store is definitely the right thing to do.

After helping Linda Yun buy her things, Su Yehao came to the more upscale shop area, walking and looking through the glass first, trying to assess which store was more powerful based on the store's decoration and layout.

Unexpectedly.

At this glance, he was suddenly attracted by something.

Even though Su Yehao was knowledgeable and well-informed, his eyes almost popped out at this moment.

Following his gaze, in a separate glass display case in a store, there was a dragon-shaped sculpture, but only the dragon's head.

Looking at the color and shape, Su Yehao immediately thought of the famous bronze heads of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac from the Yuanmingyuan...
