A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 294

"Impossible!"

"Master Liu, you can eat anything you like but you shouldn't say anything you like!"

"Exactly! Our company's rocks are famous for being excellent!”

"Even if a few are mere rocks, they can't ALL be!"

"Master Liu, you must have made a mistake!"

"You must have!”

Not only was Han Dong-Min shocked by this statement, all the suppliers stood up with a start and began to argue with Liu Chuan-Zhi anxiously.

But Liu Chuan-Zhi just laughed. "I only said that none of them caught my eye. I didn't say that they are all without jade."

"Master Liu, so you mean...?" the suppliers asked.

Liu Chuan-Zhi ignored the suppliers and said in a low voice to Han Dong-Min, "Mayor Han, these 28 rocks are not too bad. A few of them might have ice or glass jade too.”

"But I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to get a high grade jade like glass Yang jade. And Imperial jade is impossible."

Han Dong-Min immediately started laughing. "Master Liu, you are a master indeed. After years of experience, you have great judgment and nothing below Yang and imperial jade catches your eye anymore. But to me, ice jade is already good enough."

"Master Liu, please recommend a few pieces to me and I will buy them straightaway," said Han Dong-Min with a smile.

At first he thought that these suppliers had tried to cheat him with worthless rocks, but after hearing Liu Chuan-Zhi's explanation, he was relieved.

He didn't hope for something as precious and rare as Yang jade or imperial jade in the first place.

To him, as long as he could get his hands on high quality ice jade, that would be enough. If he could find glass jade, then that would be a pleasant surprise.

"Sure," replied Liu Chuan-Zhi. Hethen picked six out of the 28 rough stones on the table.

"These six are the best of the 28 rocks, no matter whether you're talking about their color, their outer layers or the cracks. If you wish to purchase a rock, you can choose from these six. I'm 90% sure that you will see green," said Liu Chuan-Zhi calmly with his hands behind his back. His confident words carried great authority.

But after Liu Chuan-Zhi said this, Zhou Sheng stood up with a cold expression on his face. He glared at Liu Chuan-Zhi with anger in his eyes and asked, "Master Liu, what do you mean by this?"

"I've never offended you before, have I? But you've chosen two rocks from each of the other suppliers and you didn't choose any from my collection. Are you insulting Zhou Jewelry?" said Zhou Sheng in an icy voice as fury was written all over his face.

It was true that out of the four suppliers, Liu Chuan-Zhi had chosen six potential rocks but none of them belonged to the Zhous.

What was that supposed to mean?

That was as good as telling Han Dong-Min that Zhou Sheng had brought worthless rocks that wouldn't have jade in them.

That was like delivering a slap onto Zhou Sheng's face and put him in a difficult position in front of Han Dong-Min.

But Liu Chuan-Zhi just replied calmly, "You're thinking too much. I'm just looking at the rocks and I'm not biased against anyone in particular."

"If it's a good rock, it's a good one. If it's bad, then it's bad. Why bother where it's from?"

Liu Chuan-Zhi's words made Zhou Sheng even angrier. "So you mean that the rocks from my company are worthless?"

"I didn't say that. You said so yourself."

"Mr Zhou, what do you have to say now?" Liu Chuan-Zhi questioned Zhou Sheng in a stern voice.

Zhou Sheng's expression darkened and he couldn't respond at first. After a while, he apologized to Liu Chuan-Zhi, "Master Liu, I'm sorry. I was too petty and said something I shouldn't have."

After that, Zhou Sheng turned to Han Dong-Min and said in embarrassment, "Mayor Han, I have made a fool of myself and I am too embarrassed to stay here, so I shall make a move first."

Zhou Sheng then waved his assistants over to pack the rocks away and leave.

But just as Zhou Sheng was packing the rocks, one rock from Hpakan slipped out of his hands and bounced onto the floor. The impact was enough to make the snake bands around it fall off and there was a crack on it. A bright green color was revealed through that tiny crack.

"That's...that's...!"

Nobody else noticed this, but Liu Chuan-Zhi's expression immediately froze as he ran over and picked up the rock.

"A layer of black sand and a waxy surface! This is a good piece from Hpakan! There's a large snake band hiding the color, and it's fallen away to reveal the green inside! This green really drives people crazy! Mayor Han, this is a good one, this is a good one!"

Liu Chuan-Zhi looked like he had gone completely mad and was so excited. He was so overwhelmed with joy as he caressed that rock while speaking anxiously to Han Dong-Min.

Everyone in the living room was shocked by Liu Chuan-Zhi's reaction.

Even Zhou Sheng was surprised by this reaction. He snatched the rock back from Liu Chuan-Zhi and said coldly, "Master Liu, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. Just like what you said earlier, all the rocks from my company are trash and all of them are worthless!"

Zhou Sheng then carried all his rocks and turned to leave.

"Mr Zhou! Don't go! Don't go! It was all a misunderstanding earlier, so why take it to heart? How much is this rock? I'll buy it!"
