Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Good, can I buy that Gold Jade Stone Carving? Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Good, can I buy that Gold Jade Stone Carving? Ning Wanru clenched her teeth in anger.
She rarely interacted with Zhang Yi before, but she had not expected Zhang Yi to be so aggressive when he spoke.
Wasnāt he said to be the most eloquent?
Why is he so impolite to her now?
Is it because the old manās grandson has been found?
So, he thinks Gu Cheng, this adopted son, and she, the Second Lady, are no longer important?
They are really looking down on others.
If thatās what he thinks, he is really being premature.
Her voice carried a chill, āZhang Yi, I really like the Gold Jade Stone Carving, and it fits well in the North Mountain Villa, you donāt need to worry about this matter. Iāll talk to the Old Patriarch when he returnsā¦ā
She was about to hang up the phone.
Zhang Yi hastily said, āSecond Lady, this is the Old Patriarchās intention, and as members of the Gu Family, we should know the difference between public and private and lead by example. So, please donāt make it difficult for me.ā
āYouā¦ā Ning Wanru trembled with anger.
āIf youāre finding it hard, how about this? Jiansheng and I havenāt received our wages this month yet. Iāll see if my colleagues can come up with the rest. No matter what, we need to account for it first, otherwise, Yubao Square would be a mess, wouldnāt it?ā
Ning Wanru was left speechless.
Her face colored with frustrated anger like the skin of an eggplant.
Everybody knew about this.
There was nothing much to it.
The Second Lady liked a Jade Sculpture and wanted to take it home to enjoy.
But the Old Patriarch had spoken.
It had to be returned.
No matter what, they couldnāt let the staff of Yubao Square pay for it.
If that were to be known, she would be utterly disgraced.
Ning Wanru gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile, āFine, can I buy the Gold Jade Stone Carving then?ā
āYou want to buy it?ā Zhang Yi was obviously surprised, and then he said reluctantly, āYou know the rules of our shop, and this is also the rule of Yubao Square, buy and sell is not the same price. The minimum is a thirty percent commission. So, you see, that would come to 260,000 yuanā¦ā
260,000 yuan?
Is she losing 260,000 yuan inside and out?
Ning Wanruās hands shook with anger.
She really wanted to curse out loud, but Steward Wu was vigorously hinting to her at her side.
He was imploring her to control her temper.
After all, the person on the other end of the phone was Zhang Yi.
Aside from Uncle Gu, Zhang Yi was the person the Old Patriarch trusted most.
For the futureās sake, she couldnāt completely fall out with Zhang Yi right now.
Ning Wanru took a deep breath again, and through clenched teeth she said word by word, āI really like this Jade Carving, and Iāll buy it. Iāll have Steward Wu transfer the money to you in a moment.ā
āOhā¦ā Zhang Yi seemed hesitant, then he said, āIt is said that the Gold Jade Stone Carving is an incredible masterpiece that, if auctioned, could increase in value more than tenfold. But since you like it so much, weāll have to leave it at thatā¦ā
Zhang Yiās tone carried a hint of regret and pity.
Ning Wanru couldnāt hold back anymore, and she slammed the phone down on the table.
Steward Wu quickly set the phone right and whispered, āIāll take care of it right away to avoid further complications.ā
Having said that, Steward Wu hurriedly walked towards the outside.
Clearly, he was worried Ning Wanru might change her mind.
As a loyal steward, it was his job to remain calm at this time.
Though Zhang Yi was regretful, he was satisfied as he hung up the phone.
Her audacity was growing.
Thinking he might not return or something, she had audaciously brought home the Gold Jade Stone Carving bought by Yubao Square for 200,000 yuan.
She really thought the Old Patriarch still treated her and Gu Cheng like before.
