My Left Eye Can See Through Everything - Chapter 84 - Solving the Problem

The woman took her time in the shower, leaving Zhou Yang somewhat speechless.

After all, it was already midnight, and as he waited, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the day had already dawned.

Looking at the blanket covering him, Zhou Yang felt a bit speechless; the night had been wasted.

He yawned, stretched, and checked the time: 5:45 in the morning.

In summer, the sky was already bright at this hour. Zhou Yang washed up and then connected the stone cutting machine and positioned the jadeite rough in the courtyard.

Next up was the stone cutting.

Ji Lanyan woke up later than usual today, mainly because she had gone to bed late the previous night.

She returned around one o’clock, took a shower, tidied up, and finished washing and hanging her clothes by 2:30.

Seeing Zhou Yang asleep on the sofa, Ji Lanyan didn’t disturb him; after all, Zhou Yang had had a tiring day.

She casually covered him with a blanket and went to sleep herself.

When she woke up, it was already 7 o’clock.

After a simple wash, she realized Zhou Yang was nowhere to be seen.

She opened the door and saw Zhou Yang engaged in stone cutting. The sound of the stone cutting machine was very low, and coupled with the water’s noise reduction, the sound was almost negligible.

Moreover, the villa’s room doors were soundproof, so Ji Lanyan hadn’t heard any noise when she woke up.

“Awake? I’m almost done!”

Zhou Yang saw Ji Lanyan and quickly extracted the last piece of jadeite.

“Zhou Yang, what time did you get up?”

Looking at the three pieces of jadeite, Ji Lanyan realized Zhou Yang must have gotten up early to cut the jadeite.

After all, they needed to go out and earn money during the day, especially since these jadeites would need to be converted into cash.

“Around six o’clock!”

“Lanyan, I want to discuss something with you. I think one car isn’t enough for the two of us, so I think we need to buy another good car.”

“Usually, we can use this car, but for special occasions, like last night, this car’s class is a bit low.”

“After all, society nowadays is all about appearances. Also, I don’t plan to gamble on stones this morning, so these jadeites need to be handed over to Jiang Xueru.”

“That’s the only way to convert them into money, don’t you think?”

Zhou Yang’s tone was clearly one of discussion; from a boss-employee perspective, he didn’t need to be this considerate.

But thinking from another angle, Zhou Yang’s approach made sense.

“As for buying a car, I think we can wait a while, since we don’t have much money right now!”

“And you’re planning to open a shop, which will require a significant amount of money, and gambling on stones requires upfront investment, so it’s best to keep some money aside.”

“As for these jadeites, I’ll contact Jiang Xueru later, and I can deliver them to her.”

“You just need to tell me how much these three pieces of jadeite are worth!”

Zhou Yang felt the woman made a valid point; money was crucial right now, and the car wasn’t that important.

After all, occasions like last night and the previous apprenticeship ceremony were rare.

Usually, his car was already quite good; how many people could afford such a car?

So this matter could indeed wait.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you on this!”

“These three pieces of jadeite, along with the one from yesterday, together should be worth 11 million.”

“11 million is the minimum price, but I believe she won’t offer less than that. Anything extra, you can use to buy a bag.”

“Consider it a bonus for you!”

Ji Lanyan squinted her eyes at this, feeling a sense of being pampered.

A young lady feeling this way was unexpected, but why did she feel happy?

Perhaps “pampered” was more appropriate than “kept,” as Zhou Yang was indeed pampering her, and Ji Lanyan was sure of it.

“Zhou Yang, what are you doing today?”

Suppressing her joy, Ji Lanyan asked.

“I plan to visit Fang Jie first; there are things to clarify, and I don’t have the time or energy to waste on these matters.”

“So I need to get my life and work on track quickly, then I’ll visit Antique Street, as we need to focus on making money.”

“Gambling on Stones is just one source of income, but not our only one, and the Gambling on Stones street in Jinling is too small, with just a few shops.”

“Not to mention frequent visits might attract attention, and the quality of jadeite rough is just average.”

“So my idea is to stabilize things here first, then make a trip to Ruili. I have a feeling that going there will mark the real beginning of making big money.”

As Zhou Yang spoke, he packed up the stone cutting machine and began cleaning up.

After cleaning, the two left the villa one after the other, with Zhou Yang heading straight to Fang Jie’s place.

“Zhou Yang, you’re back!”

Fang Jie was about to leave and happened to run into Zhou Yang.

“Fang Jie, I came back yesterday!”

“By the way, I brought you some fruit!”

Zhou Yang shamelessly presented the fruit he had taken from the banquet last night.

But to be fair, these fruits were high-end.

“Zhou Yang, even though you can make money now, you don’t have to be so wasteful; these fruits are expensive!”

Fang Jie, though not one to buy fruit often, knew which fruits were cheap and which were expensive.

Half of the fruits Zhou Yang brought were ones she usually couldn’t afford, and she was surprised he brought so many.

“Fang Jie, I’m just thanking you for taking care of me over the past six months!”

“Besides, I didn’t buy these fruits; I took them from a gathering I attended yesterday.”

Zhou Yang was telling the truth, whether Fang Jie believed it was another matter.

“Alright, just don’t waste next time. By the way, you said you came back yesterday; where did you stay last night?”

Zhou Yang was looking for a suitable reason to steer the conversation in this direction, and the woman was quite cooperative.

“Fang Jie, here’s the thing.”

“I mentioned to you before that I have a master, and he wants to teach me some basic knowledge during this period.”

“So I have to stay there for a while. Initially, I didn’t want to disturb my master, but he insisted I stay there; otherwise, he’d be unhappy.”

“So I have no choice but to stay there, and I came back today just to inform you.”
