Qin Hao went back to his room and fell asleep.
Mr. Qin had originally planned to talk to him about Li Moying''s matter, but seeing that he was already asleep, he didn''t wake him up.
The next morning, around six o''clock, Qin Hao got up.
Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin had already been up for a while, and even Li Moying was up already.
"You''re up so early, did you sleep well?" Qin Hao was somewhat surprised.
Li Moying said, "The sun is already so high in the sky, how is this early? I usually go running and exercise by six."
"Xiao Ying, have some breakfast," Mrs. Qin said to Li Moying.
Li Moying smiled brightly, "Sure, Auntie."
She had taken off her head cover, revealing her golden short hair.
During breakfast, Mrs. Qin asked curiously, "Xiao Hao, where are you going today?"
Qin Hao replied, "I need to handle some business in Ying County."
Mr. Qin curiously asked, "That''s quite far. What business?"
"Company business."
Mrs. Qin asked, "What about Xiao Ying?"
Li Moying hurriedly said, "It''s fine, Auntie. I can go with him. I would like to look around anyway."
"That''s also good," Mrs. Qin nodded.
Qin Hao felt that he had already lost authority at home—he hadn''t agreed yet, and his mom had already given permission!
He tactfully remained silent since he knew his mom had a lot of things to discuss with him.
After breakfast, Qin Hao and Li Moying went downstairs.
Li Yang and his team of eight were on rotation for 24-hour duty. They saw Qin Hao as he came downstairs.
Then Li Yang walked over, opened the car, and sat down in the driver''s seat.
Inside the car, Qin Hao said to him, "Let''s go!"
Li Yang started the car and slowly drove out of the neighborhood, heading straight for the freeway.
The drive from Jiangshan to the border at Ying County was about two hours.
In the car, Li Moying asked curiously, "Master, what are you going to Ying County for? To buy jadeite?"
Qin Hao nodded, "Yeah, just to take a look."
Li Moying was puzzled. To look at jadeite for what? Could it be that the master was thinking of getting into the jewelry business?
All the jade here was transported from Nangong Country.
There were finished products, semi-finished goods, and raw stones all at different prices.
Semi-finished goods referred to jade that had not been polished or buffed yet.
Si Li Jade Market was very famous and large, with countless merchants, and it had made many people rich.
Qin Hao got out of the car and looked at the bustling market.
There were lots of people here, most of whom came to buy goods for resale. Very few came here to buy retail.
"Master, where to next?" Li Moying asked, seeing so many people.
Qin Hao said with an embarrassed smile, "It''s my first time too!"
Li Moying expressed her surprise, "Master, don''t tell me you don''t even know where to go?"
"No worries, I''ll make a call and ask."
Having said that, Qin Hao took out his phone and called Bai Jing. She was in the jade jewelry business, so she should be clear about this.
They had exchanged numbers just yesterday, and now it came in handy.
The call connected quickly.
Bai Jing teased, "Gosh, Hao, what made you think of calling your sister? Do you want to treat sister to dinner tonight?"
Cough cough!
Qin Hao was a bit embarrassed, "Jing, we can talk about dinner when I get back. I''m not in Jiangshan right now, there''s something I want to ask you."
Bai Jing laughed as if she could picture his embarrassed expression, "Go ahead, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you. Personal questions are okay too, you know."
...
Qin Hao broke into a cold sweat, "Jing, do you know where in Si Li Jade Market I can buy raw stones? Preferably a bigger place with a variety of types."
"Si Li Jade Market? You''re not in Ying County, are you?" Bai Jing asked in surprise.
Qin Hao, "That''s right, I just got here and don''t know the place, so I''m asking you."
Bai Jing said cheerfully, "Hao, we really must be fated. I''m actually entering Ying County right now. I came here to procure a batch of high-end jade. If you don''t mind, just wait there for me, I''ll be there in a few minutes."
"Sure, Jing, I''ll wait for you for a while."
After finishing speaking, Qin Hao hung up the phone.
Li Moying mumbled to the side, "Master, who''s this saucy fox?"
"That''s her style of interaction, it easily endears people to her. She''s a woman who has managed to grow her company to this point, which is no easy task. Without knowing her personally, don''t jump to conclusions, and show some respect when you speak later," Qin Hao replied.
Having seen through all this, Qin Hao actually had a good impression of Bai Jing. He wasn''t put off by what she said but did find it a bit overwhelming.
