"I," the little girl asked with a giggle, making Xu Zhongding's face turn beet red, a mix of shame and annoyance rendering him speechless.
The little girl, however, seemed oblivious to the issue. She continued to giggle, saying, "You're really amazing! You hid such a thick stone, yet you could still tell there was something inside. Your eyesight is better than most experts in our association."
"Would you like to join our association and give it a try?"
"Xiao Qing, that's enough," President Feng coughed.
Xiao Qing blinked her eyes. "Why? Such a capable person should join us. Boss Xu, don't you think so?"
"Hmph!" Xu Zhongding snorted in anger, turned his head, and rushed into the shop.
Xiao Qing looked puzzled. "What's wrong? Joining our association isn't an insult. How did I offend him to make him so angry?"
"Hahahaha, Miss Fang, you've misunderstood. Of course, he's angry," someone said with a loud laugh. "That Boss Xu isn't the one who found the treasure; instead, he's the big idiot who gave the treasure away!"
"If it weren't for Miss Fang, Boss Xu would have already started cursing, maybe even gotten violent!"
"Ah? He didn't find it?" Fang Xiaoqing asked in surprise. "Then who did?"
President Feng, torn between laughter and tears, pointed at Li Yang. "You little girl, he's far away, but also right here!"
"You?" Fang Xiaoqing looked at Li Yang, her face full of disbelief. "No way, you don't look much older than me. How can your eyesight be so good?"
"Just a stroke of luck," Li Yang smiled, finding the girl rather likable. He had wanted to say a few words to Xu Zhongding earlier, but the effect would have been incomparable to what Fang Xiaoqing had said.
Xu Zhongding was probably furious to death by now.
"Oh, if it's luck, then it's indeed possible," Fang Xiaoqing nodded, genuinely believing he relied on luck.
Li Yang smiled. Suddenly, a "ding dong" notification indicated a deposit of two hundred million. "President Feng, payment received, goods delivered. We'll meet again if there's a chance."
"Ah, Mr. Li, please wait," President Feng immediately said. "When I saw you last time, I wanted to ask if you would consider joining our association?"
"President Feng flatters me. I'm just playing around, and I'm a bit lucky. The association is too professional, not suitable for me," Li Yang shook his head and turned to leave.
President Feng wanted to stop him, but seeing his firm stance, he sighed, "Mr. Li, safe travels."
"Goodbye," Li Yang smiled slightly and left without looking back.
Everyone was bewildered. This was a great opportunity; why refuse it?
President Feng sighed. "What a pity. Such talent cannot join our association; it's a huge loss for us."
"Is it that exaggerated, Grandpa?" Fang Xiaoqing asked in surprise. "He himself said he was just a bit lucky, not necessarily possessing extraordinary professional skills."
"You silly girl, do you really believe him when he says it's luck?" President Feng said, a mix of amusement and exasperation in his voice.
"So, his eyesight is truly exceptional?"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would Grandpa want him to join the association so badly? If he joined, that matter would be as good as settled, and I wouldn't have to worry anymore," President Feng sighed, appearing somewhat helpless.
Fang Xiaoqing's eyes flickered. "If that's the case, then he absolutely must join our association."
"But that depends on whether he's willing."
"I'll make him willing."
"Little girl, don't do anything rash."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I know what I'm doing," Fang Xiaoqing giggled. After helping to transport the Zodiac Tiger back, she began to inquire about Li Yang's whereabouts.
With two hundred million in his pocket, Li Yang felt a sense of contentment. He bought some large crabs and then called Sister Shui. "Sister Shui, is it about time? Where do you live? I'll come directly."
"That's good. You come to Biyuan Garden in Tianxin District. I'll pick you up when you arrive," Sister Shui said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll drive over now."
Biyuan Garden was a nationwide real estate company. The housing prices were relatively high, but the property management was excellent.
Seeing Li Yang, a new face, the security guard at the gate looked vigilant and asked, "Sir, you're not a resident here, are you? May I ask what brings you here?"
"My friend is a resident here; I'm here to visit a friend."
"Oh, then please tell me which building, unit, and room your friend lives in, sir. I'll call and verify." The security guard said with a smile.
Just then, a beautiful woman walked out from the gate. "Li Yang, over here."
"Yo, Sister Shui." Li Yang turned his head and was stunned to see Sister Shui dressed in casual wear, looking quite demure.
This was the first time he had seen Sister Shui dressed like this.
Sister Shui walked over, linked her arm with his, and smiled, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you, who is usually so sexy, to be so conservative in private," Li Yang said with a smile.
Sister Shui chuckled. "Do you think I like dressing so sexily and attracting attention? It's unavoidable."
"I understand you," Li Yang raised his hand. "Look, what did I buy?"
"You're coming, and you even brought food? You're too kind," Sister Shui said with a charming laugh.
"Li Yang smiled. "And a gift for your child."
"I didn't realize you were so thoughtful, even including my child. Alright, I'll cook more for you later," Sister Shui's eyes softened slightly as she pulled his hand to walk inside.
At that moment, a car drove over. Seeing Li Yang beside her, the man in the car's eyes flashed with a cold glint, but it quickly disappeared. Instead, he rolled down the window and said with a smile, "Hi, Miss Shui, is this your relative?"
"No, this is a very good friend of mine." Sister Shui's expression changed slightly upon hearing the voice, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Li Yang's arm.
The man in the car smiled and extended a hand. "Hello, my name is Wang Dayou, owner of Wang Guan Jewelry Company. May I know how you are addressed?"
"Li Yang, currently Sister Shui's partner, managing the gambling stone business together." Li Yang shook his hand with a smile and then tried to withdraw it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dayou held his palm tightly and refused to let go, even increasing the pressure. On the surface, he maintained a benevolent smile. "Mr. Li, you're truly impressive. I also wanted to partner with Miss Shui before, but she never agreed."
"Tell me, what methods did you use to get Miss Shui to agree to you."
Before he could finish the word "you," he had already squeezed Li Yang's palm with all his might.
This was an attempt to put Li Yang in his place.
Although a bit childish, it sometimes worked.
However, this time, he had run into Li Yang.
