Chapter 1695 - 1690: I’m Not Good Enough
The rejected him took a deep breath and spoke again, unconvinced, "Master Xiaobei, I really wish to become your disciple!"
Knowing he truly wanted to be apprenticed, Hu Xiaobei smiled softly and refused again, "I told you, I will not take you in!"
"I understand!"
He nodded!
At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly.
He felt that the reason Hu Xiaobei wouldn’t take him in was that he wasn’t outstanding enough, so he prepared to become more excellent.
He believed that one day, he would have the opportunity to gain Hu Xiaobei’s recognition.
"He doesn’t seem to have given up yet!"
Hu Xiaobei glanced at him and murmured softly.
But Hu Xiaobei didn’t say anything more, because he knew that this was actually a way to motivate him.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei learned his name was Sun Qiang, a standout among the younger generation of the Sun Family.
In the next twenty minutes, Hu Xiaobei, guided by Sun Qiang, took a good stroll around this tranquil villa.
Hu Xiaobei had to admit that the environment here was really particularly good...
"What do you think of this place?"
Beside an ancient well, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lv Beibei and Lv Xinxin and gently asked.
Hu Xiaobei knew they would also be living with him, so naturally he had to ask their opinion.
"We like it very much!"
Regarding the place to live, they were not very picky, so upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s question, they quickly responded.
Receiving affirmative answers, Hu Xiaobei smiled and made the decision, "Since you all like it, let’s stay here for the time being!"
"Alright!"
As they agreed, Hu Xiaobei looked at the respectfully faced Sun Qiang, "Xiaoqiang, there’s nothing much here for now, you can leave first! If there’s anything in the future, feel free to come find me!"
"Okay, Master Xiaobei!"
Xiaoqiang responded and quickly left.
...
"This Sun Qiang is really overly respectful!"
As Sun Qiang left, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose with a bitter smile...
At this time, a soft teasing voice reached Hu Xiaobei’s ear.
"Little Bei, it seems he’s really worshipping you right now; even if you asked him to jump into a river, he probably wouldn’t hesitate for a second."
"That’s... that’s too exaggerated! How could he possibly jump if I asked him to!"
"I feel that this assertion is a bit conservative."
After saying this, Lv Xinxin changed the topic, "Little Bei, I plan to discuss something serious with you, it’s about the Jade Mine!"
"Oh? What is it?"
Upon hearing Lv Xinxin mention the jade vein, Hu Xiaobei’s expression turned a bit more solemn...
"Little Bei, after these raw stones are mined, what are you planning to do with them?"
Hearing the soft inquiry, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes.
Previously, he hadn’t really thought about this...
Because before, he was just here to help, and he never thought that this invaluable jade vein could belong to him.
But now, he knew he must seriously consider this matter.
Because now it truly completely belongs to him.
He must figure out a way to maximize the benefit.
Otherwise, it would really be a waste.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei beginning to ponder, she did not rush to prompt but waited quietly.
Lv Beibei also stood quietly to the side, wanting to know what Hu Xiaobei intended to do with them...
Hu Xiaobei carefully weighed it, feeling that the best method seemed to be to dig them out directly and sell them.
With that, Hu Xiaobei voiced his thoughts.
After speaking, Hu Xiaobei heard Lv Xinxin offer a different opinion, "Little Bei, selling them directly is convenient, but doing so won’t maximize our benefits!"
"Then how can we maximize the benefits?"
Hu Xiaobei knew she must have an opinion, so he asked directly.
"Of course, by turning them into finished products! You are very knowledgeable about jade, so we can extract all the jade to the greatest extent possible. This way, we can utilize them to the fullest and make them into various exquisite pieces of jewelry which would maximize the profits."
"But we don’t have professional artisans! And the most important thing is that we also need professional shops for sales, which we utterly lack!"
Hu Xiaobei had considered turning them into finished products before!
But later, he gave up because he knew it was too troublesome!
It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice; he had nothing on his side, so it was really impossible to make them into various exquisite pieces.
"Little Bei, I’ve been in this industry for many years; I know a lot of people, so let me handle all the upcoming matters!"
Hearing her confident words, Hu Xiaobei suddenly realized that Lv Xinxin was really a professional, and immediately, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Oh, then I’ll be waiting for your good news!"
"Yeah! There’ll definitely be good news! And it won’t take long for it to come!"
"Alright then!"
As Hu Xiaobei and she reached this consensus, a group of people marched straight towards the Sun Family...
These people were the ones who kept an eye on the jade vein dispute earlier.
Indeed, they were the ones hoping to reap the benefits while others fight.
Previously, for the sake of their interests, they acted independently.
Later, knowing that Hu Xiaobei was not an ordinary person, they temporarily reached a consensus and formed an alliance.
They knew their biggest rival now was Hu Xiaobei, so they could form an alliance to deal with him together.
Learning of their arrival, Sun Gangmeng squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Finally, they’ve come! We’ll help stall them first, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll notify Master Xiaobei and have him intervene."
"Family Head, doing this really means confronting them head-on, which puts us in an awkward position."
"Exactly!"
At this time, other members of the Sun Family were quickly persuading...
They knew the opponents were indeed coming fiercely this time, and standing against them was a very bad thing from the perspective of the whole family.
Sun Gangmeng glanced at them and spoke in a low voice, "I naturally understand your concerns! But even so, we still need to stand up because we and Master Xiaobei are on the same side!"
Hearing this explanation, they thought about it and went silent.
They knew Sun Gangmeng was right, they were indeed tied to Hu Xiaobei now, so they had to do their utmost.
Seeing them all silent, he continued, "The other party is indeed aggressive this time, but Master Xiaobei is not a pushover, so I think we shouldn’t overthink, just stand with Master Xiaobei."
"But... but what if Master Xiaobei loses?"
"Indeed!"
Although they knew Hu Xiaobei’s strength, they were still a bit nervous because this time, more than one family came...
So the momentum was really fierce...
"If we lose, it’ll be very miserable, but what if he wins!"
"This..."
Hearing this, everyone raised an eyebrow...
Glancing at them, Sun Gangmeng fervently said, "This is a very crazy gamble, but if Master Xiaobei wins, we will gain a lot!"
"Exactly!"
Moved by Sun Gangmeng, their eyes also lit up...
They were now ready to take a wild chance...
