Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

In the end, he still came out on top in Chapter 252.

Du Anrao pondered for a moment: "That stone is much bigger than the previous one, so there should be more jewelry that can be made from it, right?"

"That's right. Your piece of jade is several times larger than the previous one. With such a large piece of raw stone, the utilization rate will be greatly improved. Conservatively speaking, we should be able to extract a dozen or even twenty pieces of jewelry."

Du Anrao's eyes brightened slightly: "In that case, you can arrange it as you see fit. I just want to keep a copy for my parents, my brother and sister as a gift, and Aunt Qiu and Manager Qiu can each keep a copy of the rest."

The two were stunned: "Should we... each keep one too?"

Du Anrao nodded, his eyes darting around. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give the two a few hints: "Jade, although buried in the soil, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is a gift from nature to mankind. As the saying goes, jade can nourish people, especially rare jade, which is hard to come by. If you can wear it often, it will be beneficial and harmless in every way."

The Qiu family mother and son were slightly taken aback. They had been dealing with jade and precious stones for many years, so how could they not understand the intricacies of this matter?
If someone else had said this, they would have just laughed it off and wouldn't have taken it to heart.

However, it was Du Anrao who said this. She was the one who cut these two stones. Moreover, when they saw the bright green icy jadeite rough stone, the two of them guessed that the two precious rough stones probably came from the same piece of raw material.

Although it sounds far-fetched, they just have this intuition that any strange thing becomes reasonable when it's put together with Du Anrao.

The appearance of these two rough stones was already peculiar. Could it be that, as the person before us said, besides being exquisite and valuable, they also have other effects? If that's the case...

The Qiu family mother and son were deeply shocked, and their faces couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and excitement.

Ms. Qiu, in particular, realized that Du Anrao's two rough stones might not be just ordinary rough stones. She suddenly remembered that the master craftsmen in charge of polishing and making the Fu Lu Shou Xi rough stones had mentioned them to her in a joking manner a few days ago.

Logically speaking, after working overtime for several days in a row, day and night, they should have been exhausted. But for some reason, after doing so much work and working such long hours, they not only did not feel exhausted, but they also got more and more into it, and did not experience any aftereffects of staying up all night.

Ms. Qiu overheard their discussion and concluded that these experienced craftsmen hadn't seen such rare and fine goods in a long time, and were so excited that they forgot their fatigue.

Looking back now, she felt that the behavior of the others precisely confirmed her thoughts, and she almost lost her composure on the spot due to her excitement.

Having barely managed to control his emotions, he thought of the "Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, and Happiness" plaques that had been bought for 500 million. Could it be that Mr. Xi already knew that these two stones were extraordinary, and that's why he preemptively spent a huge sum of money to reserve those two plaques in advance...

Ms. Qiu glanced at Xi Jingyue furtively, her expression complicated. Sure enough, following An'an meant getting something out of the deal; in the end, it was this guy who took advantage of the young girl.

Xi Jingyue observed the changes in the expressions of the Qiu mother and son, his eyes flashing slightly. He sighed inwardly, thinking how convenient it was to talk to smart people. With just a slight hint, they could understand perfectly, saving him a lot of trouble.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to say something to remind the two of their concerns, telling them that while it's fine to know, it's best to keep the matter to themselves.

Before he could even speak, he received a look from Ms. Qiu that left him speechless. Xi Jingyue: "???"

Ms. Qiu glanced discreetly at the person who had almost hogged the food, pondered for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Since it's your kind offer, An'an, my son and I will accept it. When the finished products are made, I will keep a bracelet and a Guanyin amulet for you to carry with you. As a token of our gratitude, An'an, all the processing fees for the finished products made from these two stones will be covered by Ji Chen and me, so there's no need for any additional payment."

Ms. Qiu wanted to give Du Anrao the 100 million yuan she had previously lent her, but after Du Anrao recovered most of the funds, she immediately returned all the borrowed money, including the 100 million yuan they had lent her.

Now, all Ms. Qiu can think of is to help Du Anrao reduce these fees without worrying about being rejected.

As expected, after listening to her say this, Du Anrao pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Then thank you, Aunt Qiu!"

"You're too kind. I'm afraid these jewelry pieces will be sent to you in batches. I wonder how it will be then..."

Du Anrao knew that Ms. Qiu was asking where the finished jewelry should be sent. He stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "I will go back to my hometown after I attend my great-uncle's wedding here. You can mail all the remaining jewelry to my home once you have finished making them."

"Well, it's not long before the New Year. Could you ask the company's craftsmen to help us rush out some work and make a batch of simpler items so I can give them as gifts during the New Year? As for overtime pay, that can be paid separately; I can cover it myself."

Ms. Qiu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Why would you need to pay this? Working overtime is common in their line of work, it's not just you. The company has a comprehensive overtime policy and benefits, you don't need to worry about that at all. As for the mailing..."

Ms. Qiu turned to look at her son: "It's too risky to mail jewelry directly, especially such valuable items. Losing them would be a big deal. How about this, Ji Chen and I visit the branch offices in various places every year at the end of the year. We'll put your hometown a little lower on the list and have him deliver it to you personally."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for Manager Qiu?"

"No, no, it's just something I did on my way, why would I bother him?"

Qiu Jichen: "..." Although it is true, Mom, you don't have to dislike me so much. I feel that Miss Du is more like your biological daughter than I am now!

Fortunately, Ms. Qiu was unaware of his thoughts, otherwise she would have surely confirmed his guess. How wonderful and lovable is Miss Du? As long as I treat her a little better, even if I can't eat meat, at least I can drink some soup.

It's already a miracle that this debt collector isn't turning on you; you think you can expect to get any benefit from him? Dream on!

That was settled, and Du Anrao and Xi Jingyue enjoyed a meal with the Qiu family mother and son without any qualms.

As soon as he stepped out of the hotel and got into Xi Jingyue's car, Du Anrao couldn't wait to find the infinite flow novel related to Liu Tianyuan and carefully read it, trying to find more useful information to help himself and his relatives avoid this messy and unreasonable world law.

Xi Jingyue saw through it but didn't say anything. He silently started turning the steering wheel to take a longer route, while frantically calculating in his mind which roads in B City were the most congested at this time, trying to finish this gossip before dropping the person off at home!
