"It looks like I owe your dad another favor," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, no longer continuing to talk about the price.

"Doctor Ge, you are being too modest, too modest," Tang Yiyuan hastily demurred, but his heart blossomed with joy.

For someone like Ge Dongxu, owing him more favors was always better, as it would make it easier for him to seek help in the future.

As the saying goes, 'a daughter knows her father best.' Although Tang Yiyuan did not show his inner joy, Tang Yahui still noticed it, feeling increasingly surprised and curious about what special skills this young man possessed that made her father value his favor so highly.

The conversation touched upon the topic briefly, and Ge Dongxu did not continue being polite with Tang Yiyuan but instead turned to inquire about other jades.

Since he had to catch a train in the afternoon and was pressed for time, he did not want to delay.

Tang Yahui, a woman who acted decisively, did not wait for Ge Dongxu to urge her again. She immediately called the master craftsman to tell him about the jade processing and asked him to start right away. Then she called a jade merchant friend in Linzhou City. After making the arrangements, she personally drove Ge Dongxu over, with Tang Yiyuan originally having other plans that afternoon but naturally abandoning them as accompanying Ge Dongxu was more important.

During the drive, Tang Yiyuan asked many questions about traditional medicine. This time, he did not approach it with the same scrutinizing attitude he had on the train but instead brought out some medical puzzles he had to ask Ge Dongxu for advice.

Because Ge Dongxu felt that he owed Tang Yiyuan a favor and also found him to be quite a good person, he did not hold back much and shared his knowledge generously, which greatly benefited Tang Yiyuan. Meanwhile, Tang Yahui, who was driving, was so astonished that they nearly had an accident.

She had never imagined that in Jiangnan Province there would be someone who could offer guidance in traditional medicine to her father, especially a young man.

Her father was a doctoral supervisor, so did that mean this young man could also supervise doctoral students? The mere thought made Tang Yahui feel as if it was all a fantastical tale.

With Tang Yahui being an expert present, the jade merchant did not dare to cheat Ge Dongxu. Moreover, Ge Dongxu chose jades based on how they gathered and stored spiritual energy, picking them correctly almost every time, which made it difficult for the merchant to pawn off lesser quality goods as finer ones.

After spending ninety-four thousand yuan, Ge Dongxu acquired approximately forty to fifty pieces of jade that could be made into Jade Tokens. Adding to his previous expenses, he had spent exactly three hundred seventy thousand yuan in total.

While paying, Ge Dongxu thought about the remaining nine hundred thirty thousand yuan he would have left and felt a sense of relief. Otherwise, losing nine hundred eighty thousand yuan all at once would have really felt like being thrown back to much harder times.

In reality, even after spending nine hundred eighty thousand yuan, Ge Dongxu would still have three hundred twenty thousand yuan left, which for an ordinary family was still a considerable sum. However, human nature is such that once you've had over a million, looking back at just a few hundred thousand can make you feel impoverished.

Back at Jiang Region Jewelry, Tang Yahui helped Ge Dongxu arrange and supervise the polishing of the Jade Tokens, while Ge Dongxu and Tang Yiyuan occupied her office to discuss knowledge of traditional medicine.

After a thorough discussion, Tang Yiyuan was completely impressed by Ge Dongxu. Although he still addressed him as Doctor Ge verbally, in his heart, he had already regarded him as his mentor and considered himself a student.

Around four-thirty, under Tang Yahui's personal supervision and urging, the Jade Tokens that Ge Dongxu had requested were finally all polished. Then she personally drove him to the train station.

As he boarded the train for the return trip and found his seat, looking out at the train station and the high-rise buildings behind it, and thinking about the one hundred ninety-eight Jade Tokens worth three hundred seventy thousand yuan in his bag and the bank card with nine hundred thirty thousand yuan in his wallet, Ge Dongxu felt an unreal sensation.

This trip to the Provincial Capital had given him too many experiences he had never had before, and he had encountered many people he would definitely not have been able to meet otherwise. His mind seemed to mature unknowingly.

Indeed, traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. If it were not for being swindled by the taxi, if it were not for Director Liu eying people like she didn't even blink, if it were not for meeting Tang Yiyuan and his daughter, how could I have so profoundly understood the evils and kindness of the human heart? If it were not for buying jade, how could I have known the complexities within the jade industry?

As he thought, Ge Dongxu's mind involuntarily conjured up that immaculately sculpted, pure white body. The captivating eyes, beautiful face, long neck, soaring peaks, slim waist, perfectly plump buttocks, and long, straight legs...

"Stop! Stop! Ge Dongxu, how can your thoughts be so dirty? After all the trust Sister Liu has placed in you!" Ge Dongxu quickly realized he shouldn't be thinking this and hurriedly chastised himself while trying not to dwell on that image.

But the image was like grass with a strong will to live; just as Ge Dongxu suppressed it, it would break through the soil again unexpectedly.

"Dongxu? Why are you here? Didn't you go to class today?" Just as Ge Dongxu was struggling internally, suddenly a familiar voice came from across the way.

"Ah, it's Uncle Zhou! What are you doing here?" Ge Dongxu quickly looked up and was surprised to see Cheng Le Hao's father, Cheng Yazhou, then began to silently lament.

This really was hard to explain!

"You rascal, I'm asking you, why are you turning the question on me? I am a businessman, of course, I travel for work. But what about you, a high school student—why aren't you in school and instead have run off to the provincial capital?" Cheng Yazhou's face darkened slightly, his tone serious and interrogative.

"I have a sister in the provincial capital, she's ill. I came specifically to see her," Ge Dongxu knew Cheng Yazhou meant well, so he wasn't annoyed by his questioning tone. He hesitated, and then suddenly remembering Liu Jiayao, he blurted out a reply.

"I see. What about your parents? Why didn't they come with you? Are they that trusting of you?" Cheng Yazhou said as he sat down across from Ge Dongxu and asked, his expression softened.

His seat was just opposite Ge Dongxu's.

"Both of my parents are too busy, so I had to come by myself," Ge Dongxu responded.

"A poor man's child matures early! You're so young and already off to the provincial capital by yourself. My son doesn't know when he'll grow up like you. By the way, is your sister very sick?" Cheng Yazhou's face completely lost its sternness, replaced by admiration and affection.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"She's much better now," Ge Dongxu replied, his cheeks feeling slightly warm. He had always been an honest child and was unaccustomed to lying outright in front of others.

"That's good!" Cheng Yazhou nodded, showing a slight smile, and said, "You should have told your uncle earlier, maybe then you could have come with me."

"Aren't we together now?" Seeing that Cheng Yazhou no longer pressed him about his trip to the provincial capital, Ge Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"That's true." Cheng Yazhou nodded and smiled, then seemed to remember something, spoke no more, and his face showed a trace of melancholy and worry.
