188 Leng Shaoting's Secret

After the interview, Zhou Zhenghong went to pick Gu Ning up. He locked the King's Green into the safe before driving away.

Gu Ning turned her phone on the minute she got off the plane. She called Leng Shaoting at once, but his phone was turned off. Gu Ning understood that Leng Shaoting was leaving City F today as well, so he was probably on the plane. She then sent him a message and told him that she had a safe arrival.

At that time, in the airport of City F, Xu Jinchen just got off his flight too. He called Leng Shaoting, but his phone was turned off. Xu Jinchen was a little dumb struck. Is boss leaving today just because I'm coming? It must be that, otherwise he wouldn't turn his phone off.

Leng Shaoting would turn his phone off in only two cases: he was in the middle of a task, or he was on a plane. His phone was never out of power. As long as he wasn't on a task, he always kept his phone on.

Leng Shaoting wasn't on a task. If he was, Xu Jinchen would know about it. Xu Jinchen didn't know what to do now. His boss left just when he came.

Gu Ning had called Master Fu and his friends before she went aboard the plane. Those masters were thrilled to know that Gu Ning would be in City G this morning. They were excited to see the King's Green.

Gu Ning saw Zhou Zhenghong when she came out of the exit of this airport in City G. She called Master Yan, Master Fu and Master Bai and told them to meet her in the factory area when she got in the car.

The three masters had gathered together earlier on, looking forward to Gu Ning's arrival. Once Gu Ning called them, they went to the factory area without delay.

It took a while longer for Gu Ning to get to the factory, so those masters arrived there earlier than her. They didn't go in right away, but instead called Gu Ning. Because Gu Ning would be there within five minutes, they decided to wait for her outside. Even if they went in right now, no one would welcome them, because nobody knew them.

Within five minutes, Gu Ning was finally there. Seeing Gu Ning, those masters were all excited, as if they were meeting their own granddaughter. Their aim was actually to see the King's Green, so they urged Gu Ning to go inside when Gu Ning greeted them. Both Zhou Zhenghong and Gu Ning felt like laughing.

After registering at the gatekeeper, a group of them walked inside.

Master Fu and Master Bai were eager to see the King's Green, and weren't in the mood to visit the factory, but Master Yan, who had less interest in jade, chose to visit the factory first.

Gu Ning guided Master Fu and Master Bai to the lounge. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhenghong went to fetch the King's Green.

Seeing the King's Green, Master Fu and Master Bai competed with each other to have the first look.

"Girl Gu, all the jade you have here is precious!" Master Yan took a round in the factory and was surprised.

"Yes, I plan to build a high-end brand, so all the jade is above medium-high-level," Gu Ning said.

"That's a very good idea," Master Yan complimented.

Master Fu and Master Bai both couldn't put the King's Green down, and both wanted to take it away. After 30 minutes, they finally agreed to leave it in its box.

"It's so amazing!" Master Fu said with jealousy. He himself wanted to cut out the King's Green.

Then, Master Fu and Master Bai went to have a tour in Gu Ning's factory. They all kept complimenting her when they found out the quality of the jade in this factory.

Knowing that Gu Ning alone had cut out all the jade, they were totally amazed.

"How did you do it? Even God can't be so accurate, but you did it so easily!" Master Bai was astonished, and couldn't believe it.

Gu Ning only smiled, but didn't explain further.

Master Bai also didn't force Gu Ning to tell him everything. It was Gu Ning's business after all. They knew that they should keep a distance from others' privacy. Unless Gu Ning was willing to tell them herself.

After the short tour, it was 11:30 am. Gu Ning invited them to have a meal together, including Zhou Zhenghong, Chang Qingshan and the others.

Master Fu and his friends left after the meal, while Gu Ning and the others went back to the factory.

At that time, Gu Ning was finally free to see the pair of pendants.

The one with a dragon on was already finished, but the other one with a phoenix still needed rubbing.

Gu Ning took a look at it, and was satisfied. Chang Qingshan's carving skill was truly excellent.

Chang Qingshan was better than Zhang Rong in hand carving, and Zhang Rong was more skilled at carving with machines, so Gu Ning had asked Chang Qingshan to make the pair of pendants for her.

In the afternoon, Gu Ning stayed in the factory. Although she couldn't help them with anything, she absorbed a lot of power.

When it was almost 3 pm, Qin Yifan arrived at the airport in City G.

Gu Ning called Situ Ye inviting him to dine together at 6 pm. She needed his help. Situ Ye was happy to help her, so he agreed without hesitation. As long as Gu Ning wanted to meet him, even if he wasn't available, he would change his schedule to fit hers.

The appointed place was the Huangdeng Hotel. Gu Ning ordered a private room and told Situ Ye its number.

She arrived at Huangdeng Hotel around 5:40 pm. Situ Ye got there at 5:50 pm.

"So nice to meet you. Please have a seat," Gu Ning welcomed him.

Although she knew that Situ Ye was the boss of the Qing Gang, she didn't feel nervous. She behaved as usual. After all, she had assumed that he served as a senior leader in the Qing Gang in the very beginning.

The boss of the Qing Gang was of course in a more important position than a senior leader, but the influential officials and the national leader would respect even a senior leader, let alone the boss, of the Qing Gang, because a senior leader was only ranked lower than the boss.

The reason why Gu Ning felt at ease was because Situ Ye treated her in a friendly way. However, she now treated him with more respect.

Gu Ning let Situ Ye order first.

After the waiter left, Situ Ye asked, "What do you want me to do? You can just tell me."
