The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 21

Ch 21: Joining the Huang Family

At Huang’s Rough Stone Shop, everyone was discussing the previous offer.

“Two million is already the limit of this crystal stone’s value, and the profit is not high,” said a middle-aged man.

“Although it is a mid-grade crystal stone, the texture is a bit poor. If it were glutinous, it would be worth at least two million eight hundred thousand. After all, this crystal stone is already quite large!”

At this moment, a sophisticated woman wearing a cheongsam and with a delicate face walked in. Her steps were light, her posture elegant, like a blooming flower. Her appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Huang’s Rough Stone Shop will take this crystal stone for three million!” Her voice was clear and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force.

Hearing this, everyone looked at her, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity. Who is this woman? Why is she willing to offer such a high price to buy a crystal stone?

“Huang Shiman, the third-generation leader of the Huang Family! Truly a beauty!” someone said in a low voice, with a hint of amazement in their tone.

Huang Shiyun stopped crying when she heard this name. “Sister!” she cried out, throwing herself towards the woman. Tears welled up in her eyes again as she hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth and comfort.

Huang Shiman gently patted her younger sister’s back and said softly, “Okay, Shiyun, it’s okay. I’m here.” Then she comforted her in a low voice, “It’s normal to lose, the Huang Family can afford to lose!”

Then she looked at Xi Yang and asked, “I wonder what this little brother thinks?”

Xi Yang was silent for a while, thinking to himself: I not only beat someone up, but also got their crystal stone for nothing. If I take these crystal stones out of the shop and sell them, I would undoubtedly offend them to the death. After all, the other party is a large family, and there is really no need to make enemies with them, and besides, I have nothing to lose.

Thinking of this, he replied with a smile, “In that case, how can I refuse!” With that, he handed the crystal stone in his hand to Huang Shiman.

Huang Shiman took the crystal stone, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, “What a Gold-Wrapped Jade, the Huang Family admits defeat!” After saying that, she handed the crystal stone to a subordinate beside her.

The onlookers, seeing that the matter had been resolved, shook their heads and left. Several other people picked out a few rough stones in the shop, wanting to try their luck.

Huang Shiman looked Xi Yang up and down for a long time, and then said, “May I ask this little brother’s name? Do you want cash or a bank transfer?”

Xi Yang replied, “My name is Xi Yang. I don’t have a bank card, so just give me cash!”

Huang Shiman nodded and signaled several subordinates to get the cash.

“Are you planning to attend the Rough Stone Gambling Convention tonight?” Huang Shiman asked with a smile.

“Yes!” Xi Yang replied.

“To participate in the Rough Stone Gambling Convention and gamble on stones, you need to verify your assets. I suggest you open an account at the bank!” Huang Shiman said.

Xi Yang looked up at her. Her black and shiny hair fell naturally like a waterfall, adding a bit of dignity to her face. Her eyebrows were slender and powerful, complementing her eyes and highlighting the confidence and composure of a wealthy woman.

“Thanks for the reminder! I’ll go by myself later!”

“No need to trouble yourself so much. I’ll have someone contact the bank later and have them come to the store to handle it for you! Do you have your ID card with you?” Huang Shiman asked.

“I don’t have an ID card, but I brought my household registration book!” Xi Yang said. Since the other party is showing such goodwill, there is no need to refuse. After all, he does need some resources in this county.

“It’s okay, you can still do it with a household registration book. Mr. Xi, please come inside and sit for a while!” Huang Shiman said.

Xi Yang nodded slightly, while casting his gaze on the rough stones on the counter. He thought to himself, I can’t always fleece the same sheep, I have to change targets.

At this time, Huang Shiyun stared at him with a resentful face, then turned around and walked in, sulking.

Xi Yang came to Huang Shiman’s office to wait. Before long, the bank staff arrived. He successfully obtained his first bank card and deposited the three million Dragon Coins he had just received into it.

Looking at the small card in his hand that could actually hold three million Dragon Coins, Xi Yang couldn’t help but feel very surprised.

After a while, Huang Shiman walked in from outside, carrying two plates of fresh fruit in her hands. She greeted him warmly, “Xi Yang, come and have a taste, these are the freshest fruits!”

Xi Yang looked at her busy figure and asked, “Boss Huang, if there is anything you need my help with, you might as well say it directly.”

“Hey, what could I possibly need? Isn’t the customer always right when you’re doing business? Is there a problem with good service?” Huang Shiman said as a matter of course.

Xi Yang shook his head, “What kind of customer needs Boss Huang to personally receive them? You should just say what you want, otherwise I won’t dare to stay any longer.”

Such an unusual move from the other party, it is impossible that there is no purpose!

Huang Shiman smiled when she heard this, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll be frank! I would like to invite you to be the Rough Stone Consultant for my Huang’s Rough Stone Shop. Of course, we won’t force you to come to the shop to help. It’s just that when you occasionally have time to come to the shop, you can lend a hand!”

“Invite me to be a Rough Stone Consultant?” Xi Yang smiled and then said, “Your Huang Family is one of the Four Great Families in the county, you shouldn’t be lacking a Rough Stone Consultant like me! Besides, I only won by chance once, and my understanding of rough stones is not deep! How can I be a Rough Stone Consultant?”

Huang Shiman threw a piece of fruit from the plate into her mouth, sat down at her desk, and said with a smile, “You weren’t just lucky. When you crushed the outer layer of the yellow crystal stone just now, the confidence on your face didn’t contain a trace of panic. You have to know that even if we stone gamblers have ninety-nine percent certainty, we are always a little flustered. But you weren’t, which only shows that you had already determined that there was a mid-grade white crystal stone inside. This alone is enough for you to be the consultant of my Huang’s Rough Stone Shop!”

“Aren’t you afraid of misjudging?”

“My Huang Family has the qualifications to misjudge!” Huang Man said with a confident face.

“I can be your consultant, but the remuneration…?” Xi Yang said.

“The remuneration is one million per year, and if you can help us identify good rough stones, you will get 20% of the harvest!” Huang Shiman said.

Xi Yang sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment. Becoming a consultant for the Huang Family might be a good choice for him. At least he could have a stable income in the future.

“Okay, but I have one condition. Everything that happens here must not be told to my parents!” Xi Yang said.

“Okay!” With that, she took two copies of the contract and brought them to Xi Yang, “This is a two-year contract. If you are not satisfied with our Huang Family after two years, you can choose to withdraw!”

Xi Yang picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. After finding no problems, he signed his name on it.

Huang Shiman put away a copy of the contract, “Xi Yang, from today onwards, you are a member of my Huang Family! Welcome to join! At noon, we will go to the Immortal Crane Restaurant for a gathering to welcome you.”

Xi Yang nodded. Since he had agreed to the other party, there was no need to refuse, especially since he really had no money in his pocket right now!

Huang Shiman booked a table of wine and dishes at the Immortal Crane Restaurant. Knowing that Xi Yang didn’t like crowds, she only brought Huang Shiyun, Gongsun Yuan, and a few senior staff members from the shop.

This was the first time Xi Yang had seen such an extravagant feast. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Just a moment ago, he was so poor that he could only eat steamed buns to fill his stomach, but now he had three million in savings, plus a well-paid job. This was truly the impermanence of life!
