“What are you trying to do?” Uncle asked suspiciously.
Yu Minglang patted his uncle’s shoulder.
“Uncle, it would be a waste to make a pendant from such good material, too big for a button, and making it into a bracelet might be too small to sell, right?”
Uncle nodded mechanically, as Yu Minglang’s facial expressions grew more serious.
“So, I’m thinking what you’re thinking – make this into a bracelet for me, and you can carve a small pendant from the core part. The pendant can be sold at a reasonable price.”
Uncle still hadn’t reacted, “But who are you making such a small bracelet for?”
Who else could it be for, other than his slender-wristed girl!
Xiao Qian had a small frame, and after forcibly taking her measurements a few times, Yu Minglang had already memorized them. After comparing them to the stone, he thought making a bracelet from it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Once you make it, someone will naturally wear it. Uncle, see how considerate I am, knowing that you wouldn’t have anyone to wear your bracelet, so I’m helping you with internal sales.”
Uncle didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Youngest Brother Yu, do you really have to be so righteous about taking advantage of this? Fine, whatever you say goes. But there’s one thing, you have to bring your girlfriend over when you have time, let your uncle have a look.”
“She’ll be seen sooner or later, but don’t go too heavy on the gifts, like the unsold pendants and earrings, just give us something like that. Remember, only the unsold ones, we’re not trying to snatch your best-selling items.”
Uncle ground his teeth.
“You…shameless!”
Which of his unsold pieces was cheap? The best-sellers were all inexpensive items. Yu Minglang’s meaning was quite simple – his girl couldn’t be given away for free, and if the gift was too small, he wouldn’t be happy!
“Whose temper did you inherit, this bandit…” Uncle muttered as he drew the bracelet design on the original stone with a special pen.
“It’s no choice, I’m the poorest in the family. You guys who got rich first should take me along and share the wealth!”
Uncle’s hand trembled, causing him to almost draw the design incorrectly.
“Youngest Brother Yu, are you still poor? What about your company shares? Are we blind?” The man worth hundreds of millions is crying poor!
“It used to be enough for one person to be full and the whole family not to starve, but that won’t work now. Uncle, you’ve been single for so long, you can’t understand the distress of having a girlfriend, really. I need to come up with a way to make things work for when I bring home a daughter-in-law. You know, I just joined the company, my shares won’t be profitable until the end of the year…”
Not only mocking people for being single, but also brazenly crying poor.
Uncle stood up, “Leave the way you came. I’m not dealing with you!”
Is having a girlfriend so great? Can you purposely add salt to people’s wounds by mentioning it?
Seeing that he had pushed enough, Yu Minglang made sure his uncle sat back down.
Qi Yue finished the design and showed it to him, “Do you think this size works?”
Yu Minglang gestured with his fingers, it seemed about right. Xiao Qian’s wrist should be able to wear it.
“Don’t make it a round bracelet, make a formal one with a thicker and larger tire-like design.”
“Why?”
“The formal bracelet uses more material, try to use more material if you can – Uncle, what’s wrong?”
“Yu…Old…Yu! You’re such a miser!”
Yu Minglang thought of himself as a simple person. Although he didn’t know what styles were good, he insisted on one principle.
The bigger, the better! Just like when buying gold goods, no matter how garish, always choose the biggest one!
“Alright, you little brat, I’ll make it into a formal bracelet. But there’s one thing, I can’t guarantee there won’t be any cracks. You know that if there’s a crack, the bracelet won’t be perfect.”
“No problem. My uncle has so many treasured stones, even if this one is broken, there are unbroken ones.”
Uncle was almost coughing up blood. “Youngest Brother Yu, did you just come here to rob me of my things?”
Was this a threat that if the quality of this bracelet isn’t perfect, they’ll just keep on cutting more stones and continue making? Apparently so.
Yu Minglang looked at him seriously. “Uncle, when giving a gift to a girl, if it can’t be perfect, why bother giving it at all? I’d do anything for my future daughter-in-law, really.”
His girl should be worthy of the highest standards, and Yu Minglang stubbornly believed that even a tiny crack wouldn’t be good enough for her.
“Fine, since I’m your uncle… You little tyrant, hurry up and find someone who can control you, it’ll be worth it to exchange a bracelet for you to calm down. When do you want it? I have to send it for processing, and if it cracks, 1 have to choose another stone to start over.”
“The sooner the better, it has to be done within half a month.”
In half a month, she would be going to school.
“Fine, come to get it in my place when it’s done. If possible, bring your girl too, so I can have a look.”
Uncle was very curious about the girl who could make the picky Yu Minglang value her so much.
Yu Minglang didn’t say anything, as he didn’t want to pressure her too much. Meeting his family had to be agreed upon by her first.
He jumped up to the window, and his uncle shouted behind him, “Go through the door!”
“That’s too slow – Uncle, I left the money under your sofa cushion, a gentleman never takes advantage!”
With that, he quickly slid down the same way he came up, and within a few dozen seconds, he was already downstairs.
Qi Yue shook his head and walked over to the sofa. “Why does that kid have to be so polite to me? Really… Huh?”
Speechless, only 1000?
Qi Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What’s the difference between this and nothing?
“With my own processing, even the labor cost isn’t enough, right? I’ve even won international carving awards! This Young Brother Yu, seriously…”
There was nothing to be done. After all, this was the young tyrant of the Yu Family. Qi Yue could only hope that the domineering Young Brother Yu could find a wife who could control him and get rid of his bandit-like vibe.
But a long time later, Uncle looked up to the sky and shed silent tears. The little tyrant did find a wife who could control him, but the one he found…was even more ruthless than the little tyrant himself. That’s another story.
Having settled the matter, Yu Minglang returned to work with a noticeably different state of mind. After being granted the title of boyfriend, he felt life was full of vitality. This manifested in him being more ruthless at work, and having the company’s mischievous shareholders submit obediently.
A man’s hormones need to be vented constantly. That’s what youth is.
Ever since he left, there had been no news from him. Xiao Qian stayed at home, providing psychological counseling to her mother while waiting for Yu Minglang’s news.
He had said that he would collect evidence of Chen Lin’s affair, but three days had passed without any word.
When Xiao Qian had free time, she would look at her phone, expecting it to ring but not particularly liking her inexplicable anticipation.
She felt that she should always keep a cool head and make accurate judgments each time. Love, which can lower one’s IQ, shouldn’t be something she touched. The frustrating part was that she had accidentally gotten entangled with it, and the man who was disrupting her peaceful pace had disappeared without a trace..
