Ning Yue explained with a smile.

Before Xu Lang came back, she had already handed over the work to the Ministry of Finance here.

Although she said that, Ning Yue still felt sorry for Xu Lang and never stopped massaging him.

"Really?" Bai Lu was still a little angry after hearing this, "He deserves to be scolded!"

Bai Lu, who has always been calm and collected, showed her childish side for the first time after Xu Lang was in danger.

But Xu Lang was still very pleased.

"Ning Yue is right, I was the one who schemed against him in this matter, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to court.

In general, everything is under my control. Although I didn't suffer any loss, the public opinion of the company and the funds allocated by the higher authorities are not profitable. At most, Liu Lao wants to keep things quiet. And it's not so easy to bring down Zhuge Qingshan. I have to get some interest back first."

"Bai Lu, go call Yang Xuefei in."

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he waved his hand, motioning Ning Yue to go out.

Not long after, Yang Xuefei came over tremblingly.

Now the whole association knows that Zhuge Qingshan suffered a setback, and this is also the result of Xu Lang's instigation.

Yang Xuefei stood in front of Xu Lang, like a primary school student being scolded by her teacher, with her head lowered, not daring to say a word.

There is no longer the arrogance that we had when we first met.

"Xuefei!" Xu Lang's tone was gentle, and Yang Xuefei's heart calmed down a lot.

She also knew that if Xu Lang wanted to mess with her, she would have no room to resist.

"Xu Lao, I'm here, go ahead."

"Are you used to being here these days?"

"Yeah! Not bad!"

"That's good. You will stay here from now on. Or should I send you back to Boss Zhuge?"

Xu Lang changed the subject.

Yang Xuefei's mind focused.

"No, no, I'm fine staying here." Yang Xuefei waved her hands repeatedly.

She looked up and met Xu Lang's cold gaze, and was so scared that she immediately lowered her head.

"Don't you want to go back, or do you simply dare not?" How could Xu Lang not see what Yang Xuefei was thinking? It was really too easy to guess.

"You were previously kept by Zhuge Qingshan, but the fierce woman in his family found out and brought people to beat you up. You stayed in bed for half a month without even a servant. It must have been a tough experience!"

Yang Xuefei didn't expect that Xu Lang even knew about this.

I didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"Xu Lao, you are right.

I am really afraid of death and dare not provoke that fierce woman."

Looking at Yang Xuefei's expression, Xu Lang said, "I can give you a chance... If you succeed, you will have a peaceful life in the future. Otherwise... Did you see what happened to the family that opposed me before?"

Yang Xuefei agreed to Xu Lang with trepidation.

Xu Lang also knew that she was not sincere, but he didn't care. As long as he could use her for his own benefit, it was enough.

All the rest will be left to time.

Time passes like water.

It had only been three days since Xu Lang had dealt with Wu Jin's family.

Today is the day of the charity gala.

Although it was a weekday, this party was so important.

Xu Lang specially asked for a day off for himself.

As a personal secretary, Ning Yue naturally doesn't need to follow Xu Lang to work.

The night before, the two of them were overworked.

But Xu Lang still got up early.

"Well, wait a minute!" Looking at Xu Lang who was about to put on his clothes, Ning Yue stopped him with sleepy eyes.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago, ok!"

Ning Yue took out an ironed suit and helped Xu Lang get on the bed.

"He's just my husband. He's a natural clothes hanger!" Looking at Xu Lang in a well-ironed suit, Ning Yue looked him up and down.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Xu Lang, dressed in this outfit, makes Ning Yue feel the same.

“But it’s a pity!”

"what happened?"

"This Dior suit dress is from last season. It was my negligence that I forgot to change you into a new dress. How could I let you wear this out?" Ning Yue pouted, feeling a little guilty.

"What the hell is this!"

Xu Lang rubbed Ning Yue's head and said, "We've been busy moving recently and everything is a mess. I'll be happy if you remember to iron my clothes for me. Can you give Li Rou a call and ask her to send a new set over?"

It’s still early anyway.”

Xu Lang glanced at his watch and said, "I'm not in a hurry to go out."

Ning Yue didn't care too much about this question, instead she asked with a smile: "What do you think of the female companion for tonight's dinner?"

Seeing Ning Yue still looking forward to it, Xu Lang was a little embarrassed. He hugged her and said, "I'm afraid you will have to be wronged about the female companion, because Miss Shangguan said she would be my female companion herself."

"Is that so?" After hearing what Xu Lang said, Ning Yue did not worry too much about this issue.

It's all about the situation, and she can understand it.

"Okay then!" Ning Yue looked at Xu Lang's handsome appearance.

I felt a little moved again.

"You just said you weren't in a rush this morning?"

"Yeah, it's still early. The dinner doesn't start until the evening. Wait a minute, my suit is wrinkled."

"Didn't you say to ask Li Rou to send a new one? It's okay!"

Looking at Xu Lang, Ning Yue's eyes were full of smiles.

More than an hour later, Xu Lang went out reluctantly wearing his wrinkled suit.

Chapter 231 Gold Inlaid with Jade

Xu Lang had no intention of evading Ning Yue.

He really had something to do this morning.

Driving along the address on his phone, Xu Lang arrived in front of a store.

The shop's facade is a bit old and still uses decorations from the last century.

The plaque in front of the door reads "Hao Yu Xuan".

The font is vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at first glance that it was the product of great effort.

Xu Lang pushed the door open and walked in. The old wooden door made a creaking sound.

"Hello!" The person running the shop was an old man, who was sitting on a rocking chair in front of the counter, holding a teapot in his hand and drinking tea by himself.

When he saw Xu Lang greeting him, he just raised his eyes slightly.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old man's voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm Wang Dongyang's friend! Is Master Wang here? I'm here to pick up the custom-made items."

Although the old man's attitude was very perfunctory, Xu Lang still spoke respectfully.

When he heard the three words "Wang Dongyang", the old man's eyes showed some fluctuation.

He put the teapot on the table beside him and stood up from the rocking chair.

"Oh, I see. The food was made two days ago. Please go in and sit down first. I'll get it for you to see!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without saying anything else.

He said so, but Xu Lang did not walk around casually. He found a stool and sat down respectfully.

The reason why he respects the old man in front of him is not because he is old.

But the person in front of me is a true master.

He was not the master who showed off everywhere nowadays. Xu Lang knew that he had real skills.

He is particularly good at carving and making various gold, silver, jade and stones, and even mastered the ancient technique of gold inlay jade used by the ancient royal family. He is the inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage and a top craftsman certified by the state.

Some people may not have heard of gold inlaid with jade.

But the broken corner of the imperial seal that Xu Lang handed over was made with the technique of inlaying gold with jade. This is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Another point is that this Master Wang is Wang Dongyang’s grandfather.

Wang Dongyang's generation was able to make a fortune thanks to his accumulation. However, the old man was old, so he returned to this old shop to retire.

Wang Dongyang was very serious about becoming sworn brothers with Xu Lang, and he went back to his hometown with Xu Lang's information.

Therefore, the news of Xu Lang and Wang Dongyang's sworn brotherhood was recorded in the Wang family genealogy.

This is a great importance.

Therefore, it is understandable that Xu Lang respects Wang Dongyang's grandfather.

At that time, Xu Lang said that he wanted to use the medicinal jade to make jewelry for his family. Wang Dongyang needed to go home to update the family tree because he and Xu Lang were sworn brothers. In addition, the material was really precious, so he entrusted the old man to help make it.

I was also afraid that my craftsmanship was not good enough and would delay the processing of this batch of materials.

Now Xu Lang came to pick up this batch of jewelry.

Soon, Master Wang came out personally carrying a tray.

"Let's take a look!" Because of Wang Dongyang's relationship, the old man treated Xu Lang as his junior.

Otherwise, ordinary people who come into Haoyuxuan will not be treated well.

Xu Lang lifted the red silk on the tray and his eyes widened immediately.

These jewellery are truly stunning.

Xu Lang has seen countless jewelry of all sizes this year. Even among the ancient royal items, few were better than the one in front of him.

The main material of these jewellery is the medicinal jade, which is yellow in colour and not very pretty. However, after being polished and carved by masters, and with Master Wang's unique technique of inlaying gold and jade, gold and silver threads are embedded in these jades to create various intricate and gorgeous patterns, which are simply beautiful.

Xu Lang couldn't help but pick up one of the jade pendants and play with it in his hand.

Xu Lang remembered this material clearly.

At that time, it was just a piece of khaki material with green and yellow mixed together.

To be honest, if it weren't for the special nature of the medicinal stone, no one would be willing to take a second look at this material if it was placed on a street stall.

But after being carved by the old man, the gold thread outlined the dragon and phoenix patterns, and the golden dragon and phoenix were full of domineering power.

The originally green jadeite was also carved into the shape of auspicious clouds.

They seem to complement each other.

Even without the special properties of the medicinal stone, this auspicious picture of dragon and phoenix would surely be sought after if it were sold.

It can be said that the painting of decay is magical.

If it is a good jade pendant, it doesn’t mean anything.

But on the plate in front of Xu Lang, there were more than ten pieces of various jewelry, all carved from defective materials.

Some of them are so beautiful even without the use of gold and jade inlay techniques.

Xu Lang still respected craftsmen like Master Wang, not to mention that he had made so much for him personally.
