267: Chapter 267: Worrying Sick Over My Younger Brother 267: Chapter 267: Worrying Sick Over My Younger Brother Zhao Guang looked at the busy people and was speechless, this is just the same thing. Indeed, sometimes the presence of a heavy hitter isn’t because others can’t do the job, but simply to show importance. Right now, Qu Cheng just stood by, not managing anything at all. The real work was still done by Huang Haopeng, but it was obvious that Huang Haopeng’s pressure had vanished. The same job that used to make Huang Haopeng involuntarily sweat was now sweat-free. “In a few days, there might be another batch,” Zhao Guang said to Guo Siyu, who was busy on the other side. Guo Siyu had plenty of Gold, and this time he didn’t plan to compete with them for it. After all, it was to ease the relations, so Guo Siyu decided not to go ahead with stocking up this time. By his side, there were some Jade and Amber, as well as some other newly delivered unidentified stones, all waiting to be tested. Testing these things was much more troublesome than testing Gold or the like. “Another batch, don’t scare me like that.” Before Guo Siyu could react, Zhao Yan was the one who got startled, her hand firmly grasping Zhao Guang’s arm. Even with Zhao Guang’s current physical condition, he could feel a bit of pressure, which said a lot about the strength. Keep in mind, his skin now had a higher defensive power than cowhide, the kind that might not be pierced with a knife. Zhao Guang patted his older sister’s arm, signaling her not to worry. “It’s nothing, just a bit more stuff, they can definitely handle it.” Cold sweat began to drip down from Huang Haopeng’s previously dry forehead. Even Qu Cheng next to him started to feel the pressure. If this kept increasing, even he would be somewhat fear-stricken. Sometimes, when there’s too much Gold, it can also feel difficult to manage. In fact, sometimes having more Gold isn’t always better, coordinating it is not an easy task. After a while, Zhao Yan finally regained her composure, “You must remember, you have to use the money you earn wisely, and definitely not mess around.” In Zhao Yan’s eyes, there seemed to be something more. “Don’t worry, I definitely know how to handle it.” Zhao Guang knew that Zhao Yan was concerned that irresponsible spending might draw some people’s attention or even suppression. So far, spending money in their home province hadn’t been an issue, but if they started moving a lot of funds elsewhere, it would be problematic. Zhao Yan was now well-informed, naturally, she understood. Behind Ye Zhi, Lele was continually writing something on a notebook with a very serious face. As for Ye Zhi herself, she took the other two people and ran over to where Guo Siyu was. “Si Yu, look at my skin, does this piece of Jade match well?” Guo Siyu looked at Ye Zhi and then gestured at the piece of Jade that was obviously cut from the middle. The heartache he felt inside gradually dissipated. After all, it wasn’t the first or second time Zhao Guang had done something like this. So many fine materials had been cut in half by him, such a waste. If Zhao Guang knew, he would definitely cry foul as it wasn’t his doing. For the Otherworld, Jade was just a building material, and might not even be considered top-tier, so it was treated quite roughly. “This piece is a bit off, but look at this Violet Jade, it matches very well and will highlight a noble temperament,” suggested Guo Siyu. The two of them hit it off and quickly became good friends. For some reason, though, Zhao Guang always felt Guo Siyu’s gazes on him were a bit strange from time to time. “Then I’ll take a set of these two, and this one here—my grandmother is celebrating her birthday soon, and she absolutely loves jade. I can’t miss out on such fine material.” Ye Zhi, with her deep pockets, picked out several sets for herself in one go, and many in her family chose a set as well. In just a short while, Ye Zhi had already spent over a hundred million. She truly is a rich lady. The life of the rich is truly unimaginable for ordinary people. From the very beginning until now, even excluding later investments in the company, the money I’ve spent on myself doesn’t even come close to a fraction of what Ye Zhi has spent this time. Shortly thereafter, the gold side was almost entirely cleared out. After saying a word to me, Qu Cheng took his leave. With so much gold, they couldn’t dare to carry it on them for long and had to take it back quickly. If anything went wrong, I’d be out of a job. On the contrary, Huang Haopeng seemed much more at ease, clearly accustomed to such dealings not just once or twice. Those left behind from Guo Siyu’s group, on the other hand, were quickly cleaning up and taking inventory. These gemstone-like items were even more troublesome to sort out. Guo Siyu was having a pleasant conversation with Ye Zhi, and Zhao Guang couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Left with no other choice, Zhao Guang resorted to chatting with his older sister, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was about increasing orders and such. “Is that all you can talk about with your sister, orders? Aren’t you going to talk about your future? Both of these are good choices; which one do you like?” Zhao Yan pulled Zhao Guang aside with just one sentence. “I don’t fancy either; they’re both too much trouble. One’s a high maintenance lady, for sure will be full of issues, and the other, well, she’s simply not my type.” “Getting all literary on me now? Don’t you know how worried mom is getting?” “Impossible, they’re busy as can be with the village affairs. I’ve heard there’s a lot going on. The whole town seems to be watching the two of them, there’s definitely no shortage of issues.” “That’s true, I heard someone proposed to nominate our dad for the local People’s Congress, planning to set him up to be the next town mayor.” “That would be impressive; our family, who has been poor for eight generations, might finally see someone in office.” Zhao Yan rolled her eyes with annoyance, “That only matters if there’s someone to carry on the next generation. You really should think more about your personal life. You’re already living together; can’t you take a hint?” Zhao Guang was speechless, wondering how the topic circled back again. But before he could say anything, his sister had already left to join the lively conversation with the other women, and he felt like an extra. Speechless, Zhao Guang looked left and right, eventually realizing there was no one to talk with. Forget it, he thought, and sat aside to start pondering the Magic Model. Recently, a new Magic Model was gradually taking shape in Zhao Guang’s construction. After all, this is a Mage’s true job—constantly researching Magic Models or on the way to do so. Only, to others, Zhao Guang just looked like he was daydreaming. Zhao Yan felt speechless inside, wondering why her little brother couldn’t just show off a little. Why couldn’t he just barge into the conversation? Instead, there he was, spacing out to the side. Sure enough, he still hasn’t grown up.
