However, Qin Haozhi was an honest official. He hadn’t prepared a very expensive gift, but sent his older brother his blessing calligraphy. Qin Haozhi was famous for his excellent handwriting in City F so it was actually a good gift. They were family, and valued sincerity the most.

The second one was Qin Haozheng’s eldest daughter, Qin Yiqing.

Qin Yiqing was a clothing designer, so she designed a Chinese tunic suit for her father. She used the best materials she could afford.

Qin Yiqing’s husband sent his father-in-law a pair of decorations made of medium-high-level jade. They were in the shape of lion heads with Qilin patterns, and worth a lot. Because the jade was valuable, Qin Haozheng liked the gift very much.

Qin Yifan was the next one. He sent his father a wide jade ring made of the King’s Green. Although the King’s Green was only as big as a quail’s egg, it was enough for a wide jade ring.

Knowing that it was made of the King’s Green, the crowd erupted into discussion. Qin Haozheng was also stunned. He couldn’t believe that it was real. He took the wide jade ring, and checked it. It proved to be the real King’s Green. Qin Haozheng’s face was aglow with happiness.

“Yifan, where did you get the King’s Green?” Qin Haozheng asked.

“My friend happened to have a small King’s Green to sell, so I bought it. I got the carver from Yicui Jade-store to carve it,” Qin Yifan explained. Gu Ning had told him not to tell others that this King’s Green was from her, because she didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention. Therefore, Qin Yifan didn’t say her name.

Other than the wide jade ring, Qin Yifan had used the rest of the jade to make a necklace, and kept it himself.

“Oh,” Qin Yifan said taking out another box, “I’ve prepared a gift for mother too.”

“Really? I can receive a gift as well? What is it?” Mrs. Qin was surprised.

“Have a look yourself, please.” Qin Yifan didn’t directly tell his mother what it was, but let her open it herself.

Qi Yifan’s mother had been married to his father for so many years that she was very familiar with different kinds of jade.

“Do you still want to keep it a secret?” His mother wore a smile and opened the gift.

There was a pendant with three colors in a wing’s shape as wide as a thumb, and a pair of round earrings.

Seeing that it was jade again, Qin Haozheng immediately took it, having a closer look. After a while, Qin Haozheng’s eyes went bright with excitement. “This-this is Fulushou jade!”

It caused a sensation once more. Qin Yifan was being really generous with his money today!

“Did you buy this from your friend too?” Qin Haozheng asked.

“Yes,” Qin Yifan answered. And Qin Haozheng stopped asking.

Then, it was the time for those guests to show their presents. The gifts were naturally all valuable. The price ranged from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan.

Only a minority of the guests sent a gift at the price of several million yuan. It wasn’t appropriate if the gift was too expensive after all. And there could be a rumor that the sender of the gift wanted to ride on the Qin Family’s coattails.

Everyone knew Qin Haozheng liked Jade, but it wasn’t easy to get jade of high quality. Besides, the price of good jade was too high.

Like the gifts from Qin Yiqing’s husband and Qin Yifan, even the cheapest one was worth seven million yuan.
