Chapter 879 - The Crush of A Young Lady (2/2)
“…”
Jin Shi, who just stepped out of the door, staggered and almost fell. He was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry before he stared at Mo Xiaohan and left quickly.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu came to the VIP room and looked at the pretty young lady, Mo Xiaohan. Then he smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Tang Xiu, the person who is looking for the zodiac jade carvings. May I know how I should address you, Miss?”
“My surname is Mo,” said Mo Xiaohan. “Anyways, it’s kinda strange, though. Why do you look familiar? Also, your name is… Tang Xiu? It seems like the name of a very kind divine doctor…”
Her voice abruptly stopped and Mo Xiaohan’s bright pupils instantly turned into saucers as she was shocked. She exclaimed, “I remember you. You’re the Young Divine Doctor, Tang Xiu!”
“Yeah, it’s me,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.
“Well, is it necessary for you to spend 100 million US dollars just to buy zodiac jade carvings? Oh, God! How are you so rich? That’s not right, though. You don’t just spend 100 million US dollars since you still need ten zodiac jade carvings, no? Then… aren’t you going to spend a billion US dollars?”
“Oh, please don’t entertain all sorts of ideas,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Anyways, let’s discuss the deal since we’ve introduced ourselves! You said you have the jade rooster; where is it?”
Mo Xiaohan gulped and asked in an anxious and doubtful tone, “Would you really give 100 million dollars if I have the jade rooster?”
“I will,” said Tang Xiu firmly.
Mo Xiaohan joyfully nodded and took out the red jade rooster from the bag she carried. She handed it to Tang Xiu and said, “This is it.”
After receiving and appraising it, Tang Xiu suppressed his joy inwardly and noddingly said, “Yes, this one is the jade rooster from the whole set of zodiac jade carvings. Miss Mo, this jade rooster belongs to me from now on. Tell me your bank account and I’ll assign someone to transfer your money.”
“Great!” Mo Xiaohan suppressed her excitement and nodded before she told Tang Xiu her bank account.
At this moment, Jin Shi, who had just left, returned and quickly came to Tang Xiu and reported, “There’s another guest who claims to have a zodiac jade carving. Our men are bringing him here.”
Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up and replied quickly, “Did he say he brought the zodiac jade carving with him?”
“I asked him that. He said it’s a jade rabbit,” said Jin Shi.
Tang Xiu nodded happily and turned to look at Mo Xiaohan, “Miss Mo, you must have rushed from another region to Shanghai, right? If you’d like to, you can have a rest in Paradise Manor. You’re exempted from any expense during your stay here.”
“Divine Doctor Tang, can you let me have a look at that jade rabbit?” asked Mo Xiaohan quickly.
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment before he nodded and gave her permission, “You can see it, but you must tell the other party that you’re also the person who brought the jade rooster. After all, supposing that you don’t want to disclose your identity, we want it to keep it secret for your sake.”
“Got no problem with that.” Mo Xiaohan nodded quickly and said, “I agree.”
Immediately after, Zhang Moyuan hurriedly arrived with the escort of the security guard. He recognized Tang Xiu’s identity the moment he saw him, and, with a bit of an anxious yet excited look, he greeted Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu smiled at him and said, “Mr. Zhang, this is the previous owner of the jade rooster. If you don’t mind, could you please take out the jade rabbit now?”
Zhang Moyuan nodded to Mo Xiaohan and immediately took the jade rabbit out and handed it to Tang Xiu. After Tang Xiu appraised it, the object was also a genuine piece of the twelve zodiac jade carvings.
“Mr. Tang, is it exactly what you need?”
“Indeed.” Tang Xiu nodded.
Zhang Moyuan excitedly asked, “Then when are you going to…”
As Tang Xiu saw his hesitant look to speak his mind out, he smiled and said, “I understand what you mean. Give me your bank account and I’ll immediately transfer the money to you. I’ve already negotiated with the bank about this transaction, so the money will be in your account up to two hours after we transfer it.”
“Good. Great!” replied Zhang Moyuan joyfully.
“You can rest assured about the confidentiality issues,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Also, the two of you have come from afar, so you can rest at our Paradise Manor. All expenses are free of charge.”
Zhang Moyuan looked reluctant and replied, “Mr. Tang, is it alright if I say that I don’t need you to keep it confidential?”
“You don’t want to keep it a secret?” Tang Xiu was surprised. “Of course, we can even hold a press conference to announce your real situation to the public if you’d like to.”
“Then I’m grateful for that,” said Zhang Moyuan seriously. “I want everyone in the whole country to know that I was the previous owner of the jade rabbit and sold it for 100 million US dollars.”
“No problem.” Tang Xiu readily consented and smilingly asked, “Mr. Zhang, few people want to deliberately publicize after they obtain some riches, though. Care to tell me how are you different from others?”
“To tell you honestly, I mainly want those who have refused, despised and even jeered at me to see it.” Zhang Moyuan said with a bitter face. “I want to tell them that Zhang Moyuan is not driven into a corner and desperate. Before I came here, my company’s business had been in trouble and the capital chains are kind of in a tight spot with serious problems. I originally borrowed some funds from many friends that I thought were good comrades. Yet, everyone seemed to avoid me as though I was a plague or something. Too many words they uttered that were kinda unpleasant to hear…”
After a while, Tang Xiu finally figured out his motive and was secretly glad inside. It was kind of fortunate for him that Zhang Moyuan’s company was in such a situation and that his friends didn’t lend him money, otherwise, would he even come to Shanghai to sell his jade rabbit to him? It was unlikely.
