Gu Qingchen smiled and did not say anything. However, since Rong Yu said he would come to the opening day, he would definitely come.
Gu Qingchen still believed in Rong Yu’s promise. He was a very reliable person.
However, Rong Yu probably would not come so early. After all, he did not like to stay in such a crowded place for long. He would probably be here when the official opening was about to begin.
“Qingchen, don’t blame that kid. That kid’s temper is a little weird. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether he comes or not as long as I’m here!”
Elder Yuan also knew Rong Yu’s temper. He was just saying it. From the bottom of his heart, he did not think Rong Yu would come at all.
“Elder Yuan, have you brought enough money? There are a lot of good things today.”
Gu Qingchen knew that Elder Yuan also liked raw stone very much. There were many good jades in the raw stone she selected.
Still, she did not know if it would fall into the hands of Elder Yuan in the end.
After all, the people who came today were not small figures. If they really fancied it, there would probably be an intense competition.
Upon hearing the word “jade”, Elder Yuan was instantly energized. His eyes were shining, “Really? Quickly tell me everything. Girl, what good things do you have here?”
Recently, he had fallen in love with jade again. In fact, he did not come here just to congratulate Gu Qingchen for her jade shop’s opening. He came here mainly because there was nothing new about raw stones in the capital recently.
Hearing that Gu Qingchen’s jade shop was about to open, Elder Yuan’s eyes lit up. After all, he knew that Gu Qingchen had found many good treasures from the jade convention.
Some of the treasures must have been kept by Gu Qingchen. Now that her jade shop was about to open, Gu Qingchen would definitely take them out.
Therefore, he came here to look for treasures. After being pumped up by Gu Qingchen, he became even more excited.
Gu Qingchen smiled and saw everything. “Don’t worry. It must be something you are interested in.”
“You are not being generous to me. I came all the way here, and you didn’t even tell which one to choose. How about… Hehe, just tell me one, just one.”
Elder Yuan’s curiosity was aroused, and he couldn’t help but tempt.
Gu Qingchen whispered a few words into Elder Yuan’s ear, and Elder Yuan’s eyes immediately widened, “Really? Good, good, good! Then I’ll wait for you later!”
Sometimes, Elder Yuan was like a child. In this regard, he was actually similar to Gu Qingchen’s master, Doctor Hua.
“Vice president?” On one side, Gu Qingchen was chatting with Elder Yuan, and on the other side, she saw the vice president of the jade convention. He even testified for Gu Qingchen, so Jiang Zhong didn’t gain any advantage.
Because they were too far away, Gu Qingchen did not invite the vice president initially. She did not expect that the vice president would actually come by himself.
As soon as Gu Qingchen spoke, the vice president immediately saw Gu Qingchen and walked over to Gu Qingchen with a smile. When he saw Elder Yuan, the two of them also exchanged a few cordial greetings.
“Ms. Gu, you won’t blame me for coming uninvited, right? Hahaha!”
Gu Qingchen smiled embarrassedly, “It’s an honor to have you here, vice president. I originally wanted to invite you here, but it would be a tiresome trip to you, so I don’t want to make you come here. I’m sorry for not inviting you. If you like to buy any jade, I’ll definitely give you a 20% discount.”
Gu Qingchen was stingy by just giving a 20% discount. Jade that could catch the eye of a knowledgeable person like the vice president was not an ordinary thing.
A 20% discount was definitely a great favor. Gu Qingchen didn’t give a discount to Elder Yuan.
The vice president immediately beamed with joy. He still remembered how impressive Gu Qingchen was at the jade convention. She had sharp eyes. The jades that she obtained were all excellent, blinding everyone’s eyes.
“Hahaha, then I’ll thank Ms. Gu in advance. Oh, no, I should call you Boss Gu now!” The vice president was very serious in public affairs, but he was relatively friendly in private.
“Call me whatever you want. My father runs this jade shop. I’m just helping out.”
“Girl, you can’t be so biased. I heard it just now. You said you would give him a 20% discount, and the listener has a share. You have to give me a 20% discount too!” Elder Yuan did not want to be outdone.
Gu Qingchen smiled and nodded, “No problem. Elder Yuan, even if you don’t mention it, I will give you a 20% discount.”
Hearing Gu Qingchen’s words, Elder Yuan was finally satisfied and started chatting with the vice president. On the other side, Gu Qingchen still had to take care of the others and some trivial matters. She had to check them out, so she did not stay any longer and let them do whatever they wanted.
The reporters at the door had not been invited in yet. They would only go in after all the guests had arrived.
This was not Gu Qingchen’s mistreatment of them. It was entirely their own initiative. They all wanted to guard the door and see which big shots would come over.
After all, Gu Qingchen had asked Xiang Yang to do a lot of publicity and even said there would be a mysterious guest present. They were all curious which mysterious guest would be here.
“Did you see that? The one who just entered seems to be Yuan Anping, a wealthy businessman from the capital city. There’s another one. Isn’t he the vice president of the jade convention who came out to testify that the Jiang Jade Store has been taken over by someone?”
“Oh my god, my goodness! They don’t seem to be from City Y. They came all the way here for a jade store’s opening ceremony? It’s unbelievable.”
“It’s indeed a little strange. Although I’ve received news that the boss of Paradise is quite powerful, I didn’t expect that the boss has a relationship with such a big shot! Quick, dig into the background of the boss of Paradise.”
Some of the media personnel had a keen sense of smell. Luckily they came today, or else they would have lost this exclusive news.
When Xiang Yang contacted the media earlier, some of them did not want to come to the Paradise’s opening. They thought it would be a waste of time.
After all, the boss of this jade shop was not a big shot, and there was no news to report. In the beginning, they just wanted to fool around.
Later, they received news that many big shots in the industry would be coming on the opening day of Paradise. They also heard that they would auction off a few sky-high-priced jades on the spot, which made them move.
Unexpectedly, they came to the right place!
Not long after they arrived, they saw Yuan Anping, a wealthy businessman from the capital city. One had to know that some media outlets had to wait a long time before they could do a private interview with Yuan Anping.
They actually met Yuan Anping here today!
There was also the vice president of the jade convention. He was also an extraordinary figure, and a very authoritative figure in the jade industry.
As expected, Paradise was something else. It seemed that the mysterious guests were Yuan Anping and the vice president.
Although the two of them had already arrived, the media outlets still waited a little longer to see if there would be another miracle.
