Chapter 1508 The Wise (1/2)

Li Du left the Canton area casually without looking back.

Zhong Dapao wanted to keep his reputation, so he followed up proudly with his chest puffed out.

Liu Zi did not care about his reputation, so he stayed back and tiptoed over to see the cutting process.

After a while, he trotted up and followed them. Zhong Dapao frowned and asked, although he knew, ”Where did you go just now?”

Liu Zi cooperated and answered with a smile, ”To look at the cutting of the stone that the fat man bought.”

Zhong Dapao was interested and dropped his mask of cool arrogance. ”Oh, so how was it?”

Liu Zi laughed. ”Do you want to know? Haha, it was a great loss!”

When he said this, he ran to Li Du's side, nudged him with his shoulder, smiled and said, ”Little brother, you are something! Do you have a pair of see-through eyes?”

He turned to Zhong Dapao and said, ”I have read a novel in which the man has a pair of see-through eyes. He could see through the ore and find out about any precious stones hidden within.”

Zhong Dapao spat at him, ”Go to the mines and work if you don't have anything to do all day. Why do you have to read such books? By the way, what happened to the fat man?”

Liu Zi said, ”It was the same as last time I was in a teahouse. The stones that Lu Dayou and Liu Dao used to cheat Brother Li had a water source too. The situation was the same.”

Hearing Liu Zi's words, Zhong Dapao looked at Li Du with a surprised expression on his face.

When he was in the teahouse, he saw the anti-deception skill of Li Du. This was the second time something similar happened, and it was hard to believe it was a coincidence.

Liu Zi thought it was no coincidence either, so he asked Li Du, ”Brother Li, how did you do that?”

Li Du acted dumb. ”How did I do what?”

Liu Zi said, ”How did you know which stone was valuable and which was worthless?”

Li Du shook his head and said. ”I didn't know. How could I?”

Liu Zi pursed his lips. ”I'm not sure I believe you.”

He leaned forward and stared into Li Du's eyes. Li Du stared back at him.

After looking for a while, Liu Zi said, ”You did not rest well these past two days. You have red eyes.”

Li Du kept his silence.

Zhong Dapao pushed him aside and said, ”All right, why do you ask so many questions? Want to earn a Ph.D. in this? Just follow Master Li honestly.”

Li Du laughed. Liu Zi called him 'little brother', while Zhong Dapao called him 'Master Li'. His position was definitely getting higher as far as they were concerned.

He asked Zhong Dapao, ”Why didn't you sell off the glass jadeite inside the Canton?”

Zhong Dapao said proudly, ”What's the hurry? Let's have a good look first. I've never seen such good water source jadeite this year. What's more, it's a waste to sell it in the Canton when we can sell it to the businessmen in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. They will pay a lot of money for it!”

Li Du strolled around the market, which was very busy in the morning. Thousands of people were bustling around. People were elbowing each other as they walked past the stalls, haggling and buying.

He bought stones several times during this period, but those were only seed materials, of the same shape and size as the pebbles he had bought before, not large stones.

After a few bets, the seed material that he bought was mostly a loss, but in this process, he gained two jadeite pieces. He now had three, including the glass species they got previously.
