Chapter 243: Finally, I have to ask Ningguang for help
Ningguang now feels a bit like being stood up.
Funina now felt quite sorry facing Ningguang.
Fortunately, the two of them haven't formally discussed the deal yet, so it can't be considered as a regret or breach of contract.
In addition, Gu Chen could also see it vaguely.
Ningguang actually didn't particularly want this Night Stone.
She is so rich, what treasures has she not seen? What treasures does she not have?
This piece of Yebo Stone is indeed very large, rare and top-grade, but it may not attract Ningguang's special attention.
The reason why Ningguang just made the bid was not only because she really wanted to buy it, but also because she wanted to show her goodwill to herself in disguise.
Through the channel of trading Yebo Stone, Funina was able to obtain a huge sum of money in a legitimate way.
If Funina is happy, I will be happy too. Isn't this a gesture of goodwill from Ningguang?
So even though the deal fell through before it even started, Ningguang didn't feel too much regret, at most she was a little speechless.
On the contrary, Funina felt particularly sorry now.
She thought that Ningguang was one of the Seven Stars of Liyue after all, and was definitely a superior person.
Had he offended Ningguang in disguise by what he did today? Had he caused trouble for Gu Chen?
So, with this shame, Funina kept apologizing to Ningguang, and Ningguang smiled and said it was nothing.
After a slight embarrassment, Ningguang began to think deeply again.
She felt that there should be another chance to show her goodwill to Gu Chen.
Just like that, Ningguang asked Funina:
"Since Miss Fu Fu is not planning to sell this piece of Yebo Stone ore, may I ask, what are you going to do with it?
Are you planning to keep it like this? Take it back to Fontainebleau?"
Looking at the heavy gem in her hand, Furninna felt a little conflicted. She shook her head slightly.
“It doesn’t seem to be very interesting to just keep it in its original state.
It seems that there is nothing interesting about just collecting things.
Actually... I think..."
Funina did not express her thoughts immediately, but looked at Gu Chen next to her.
After all, this was a gift from Gu Chen to her.
She felt that if she wanted to do something with this gift, she would have to ask Gu Chen for his consent.
Gu Chen's attitude remained the same, his face smiling and full of encouragement:
"I've already told you, this piece of Yebo Stone ore is yours, and you have the final say on how to dispose of it."
Finina nodded and explained her thoughts:
"I spent a long time wandering around Liyue Harbor today, and saw all sorts of unique shops.
Among them, quite a few shops sell jewelry and related luxury goods.
I'm particularly interested in Liyue-style jewelry, so I thought...
Can this piece of Yebo stone ore be used to make a batch of jewelry?
When the time comes, this batch of jewelry will be great whether you collect it or wear it."
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately smiled.
So this is what Fu Fu is thinking. What’s wrong with that?
Yebo Stone is a kind of gemstone, and it is normal to use it to make jewelry. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Before Gu Chen and Paimeng could say anything, Ningguang immediately saw her opportunity and took the initiative to speak again:
“Want to create jewelry?
It's a very normal idea and also a very practical one.
If Miss Fu Fu doesn't mind, how about letting me take care of this matter?
I know many respected master jewelers.
These masters have superb craftsmanship and their jewellery products are extremely exquisite.
Ask these masters to use this piece of Yebo Stone ore to make a batch of jewelry for you. It should be no problem."
When Fernina heard this, her eyes lit up immediately:
"Is that okay? Is this okay?"
Ningguang saw that there was hope, and her smile became even warmer:
“That couldn’t be better.
Miss Fu Fu, those old masters are also ambitious.
When they reach that level, they won't act rashly.
Only when they come across materials that are attractive enough will they take action again and devote their efforts to creating jewelry or works of art.
And this piece of Yebo Stone ore of yours is enough to make them excited."
Holding the Night Mooring Stone, Funina felt dazzled for a moment:
"I see. I didn't expect there was such a trick to polishing jewels."
After being dazed for a moment, Funina suddenly realized:
"and many more!
Wouldn't it cost a lot of processing fees to ask those experienced craftsmen to do it?"
Ningguang smiled and shook her head:
"unnecessary.
Those old masters no longer care about money.
What they care more about is whether they can encounter opportunities worth their while. "
"That's it..."
While nodding, Finina thought for a while and found that there was nothing to worry about anymore.
The only embarrassing thing was that she had just let Ningguang down, and now she had to ask her for help again. Funina felt a little guilty.
At this moment, Funina still felt very dependent on Gu Chen. She looked at him for help, asking for his advice:
"Gu Chen, what do you think?"
Gu Chen still smiled:
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I can ask Ningguang to take care of this matter.
You know, in Liyue, Ningguang has more connections than me."
Ningguang was a little flattered when she heard this. She shook her head repeatedly:
“No, no, I’ve just been operating in Liyue Harbor for a long time and I know a lot of people.
If it was Lord Gu Chen, there would be no need for any so-called connections.
If you just spread the word, I'm sure many people will immediately rush to serve you. I have no doubt about that."
Seeing Ningguang's flattery coming again, Gu Chen smiled helplessly and waved his hand:
“Alright, alright, Ningguang.
I'm leaving this piece of Yebo Stone in your hands. Please help me process it into a batch of jewelry for Fu Fu.
I... owe you a favor."
Ningguang shook her head repeatedly:
"How dare you, how dare you..."
Just like that, under Gu Chen's gaze, Funina handed the Yebo Stone ore to Ningguang's secretary.
After the secretary took over the Yebo Stone ore, he immediately put it into a locked suitcase and placed it there.
This way, there is no risk of error.
The little episode was resolved, and Funina was very happy and looking forward to it.
After receiving the Yebo Stone ore, Ningguang did not leave immediately.
Gu Chen immediately realized that Ningguang’s appearance this time was probably not a coincidence.
Maybe she came here specifically to see me.
After Jie Cuixing found herself, this incident happened to happen, and Ningguang happened to make an offer and help later, which led to her intersection with Fu Fu.
I just don’t know what Ningguang wanted to talk to me about?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen asked directly:
"By the way, Ningguang, are you here to see me? What do you want from me?"
When asked this question by Gu Chen, Ningguang's smile became even more kind:
“Yes, I am indeed here to see Master Gu Chen.
That's right, Emperor...
Mr. Zhongli asked me to come and invite Master Guchen to watch a play."
