Hearing Ling Qingya’s words, Fang Yan’s eyes shifted again, and he said, "Qing Ya, I know your company is now focusing on jewelry. The arrival of Mingzhu Group in Zhonghai and their search for partners present a great opportunity for Ling Corporation. I will arrange a chance for you to communicate with Old Chen later."

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yan’s mouth as he spoke to Ling Qingya.

Ling Qingya’s eyes flickered, and she glanced at Fang Yan in surprise.

Meanwhile, Fang Yan walked towards Chen Baoshan with a smile on his face.

"Old Chen, hello, I am the young master of Fang Corporation, Fang Yan."

Fang Yan approached Chen Baoshan and introduced himself directly.

"Young Master Fang, hello. Is there something you need?"

Chen Baoshan’s gaze settled on Fang Yan, speaking in a calm tone.

"Old Chen, I have recently acquired a piece of jade stone, but I don’t quite understand it. Knowing that you are a master of treasure appraisal, I would like to ask you to have a look."

Fang Yan took out a jade box from his person and slowly opened it. Instantly, a green light shimmered, revealing a heart-shaped jade stone lying inside.

"This is... Wen Xinyu!"

At this moment, Han Youwei, the chairman of Han Group, couldn’t help but speak out upon seeing the jade stone.

"Chairman Han does indeed have discerning eyes. This is indeed the rare Wen Xinyu, known for its ability to warm the heart and mind, bringing comfort and pleasure. However, I do not understand this stone, so I’d like Old Chen to evaluate it," said Fang Yan, his lips curling into a faint smile.

At this, the gazes of the surrounding influential figures turned towards them, all expressing surprise at the Wen Xinyu in Fang Yan’s hand.

It was a top-quality jade stone, rarely seen, and each time it appeared, it was sold at a high price. No one expected to see it here.

"Young Master Fang, may I touch it?" Chen Baoshan asked, his eyes fixed on the heart-shaped jade stone.

"Of course, I brought this jade stone specifically for you to evaluate, Old Chen," Fang Yan responded with a smile in his voice.

Then Chen Baoshan took the jade stone in his hands, feeling its warmth and smooth texture.

"Hmm, it’s warm to the touch, smooth, and its lustre is round and translucent—indeed just as Wen Xinyu is described."

"If this is a genuine piece of Wen Xinyu, it must be quite valuable, right?" Chen Baoshan’s gaze returned to Fang Yan.

"This jade stone was acquired by the younger generation a while ago in Yunnan, costing five million to purchase," Fang Yan explained.

Hearing Fang Yan’s words, the surrounding elites murmured in admiration—the Wen Xinyu was indeed quite valuable.

"I’ve always wanted to collect a piece of Wen Xinyu, but I’ve never had the chance. I wonder if Young Master Fang’s Wen Xinyu might be..."

"Old Chen, I bought this Wen Xinyu to present it to you. I heard your heart isn’t in great shape. Wearing this Wen Xinyu can have significant effects on the heart and mind. It should be of great benefit to you," Fang Yan said.

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, everyone present was astonished once more—to give away a Wen Xinyu worth five million like this; Fang Yan was indeed extremely generous."

"Young Master Fang’s gesture is a piece of Wen Xinyu—truly befitting the young master of Fang Corporation. Excellent," echoed a voice in admiration.

Han Youwei spoke with a hint of a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"This Wen Xinyu is too valuable, I cannot accept it. I should buy it at the normal price," Chen Baoshan said directly.

"Mr. Chen, you are being too modest. You are a senior that the younger generation greatly admires. A piece of Wen Xinyu is nothing in comparison. Moreover, this jade suits someone who understands it like you perfectly."

Fang Yan said with a smiling face.

Listening to Fang Yan speak like this, Chen Baoshan’s face revealed a smile. Holding the warm Wen Xinyu in his hands, he couldn’t help but say, "In my life, I, Chen Baoshan, have never casually accepted things from others. Since you have said so, I will just say thank you. However, you may make a request, and I will strive to fulfill it if it’s within my power."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth upon hearing Chen Baoshan’s words, Fang Yan then said, "Mr. Chen, I heard that the Mingzhu Group is looking to set up development in Zhonghai and needs to find a local partner. I think Ling Corporation would be a perfect fit."

"Ling Corporation?" Chen Baoshan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

"Yes, Ling Corporation, one of Zhonghai’s top groups now. That lady over there is Ms. Ling Qingya, the current president of Ling Corporation."

As Fang Yan spoke, he pointed toward Ling Qingya, causing everyone’s gaze to turn to her.

At that moment, Ling Qingya’s expression was serious, and her heart was somewhat astonished. She quickly understood what Fang Yan had said to her before—it was like this...

Ling Qingya’s thoughts quickly shifted, and she stepped forward to look at Chen Baoshan and respectfully say, "Mr. Chen."

"Don’t underestimate Miss Ling for her youth; she is a formidable businesswoman. In just a few years as president of Ling Corporation, she has increased the company’s market value several times over. She is truly an unparalleled businesswoman in Zhonghai. Moreover, Ling Corporation is currently focusing on the jewelry industry and has broad connections in Zhonghai. A partnership with Mingzhou Group would definitely be a strong alliance that benefits both parties," Fang Yan talked confidently.

"Hmm, you’re right. I didn’t expect Miss Ling to be so capable at such a young age."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen. If you could give me and Ling Corporation this opportunity, I will definitely not disappointment you or the Mingzhu Group," Ling Qingya said as she looked at Chen Baoshan.

"Hmm, I’ll do some research when I get back. If there are no issues, then Ling Corporation will be Mingzhu Group’s partner in Zhonghai," Chen Baoshan nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

A rare smile appeared on Ling Qingya’s cool face.

"Haha, President Ling, you should really thank Young Master Fang this time. He’s really gone out of his way for you," said Han Youwei, the chairman of Han Group, with a smile on his face.

"Don’t be so formal; it’s only what I should do."

Fang Yan wore a smiling face, his eyes glancing toward Ling Qingya, who looked at him with evident gratitude.

"Some people really have thick skins, showing off a fake jade and conning others here."

However, just then, an untimely voice rang out, causing the atmosphere to become tense. Everyone turned their gaze unanimously toward the source, only to see Ye Luo walking over slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Watching Ye Luo approach, Fang Yan’s smiling face instantly stiffened, becoming somewhat gloomy, his eyes casting a sinister look at Ye Luo.

At this moment, Han Youwei’s gaze turned towards Ye Luo and he said, "Brother, what did you mean by those words just now?"
