Come and see a joke

Ye Fei really wanted to stay and observe the scene of Duan Fei's arrest, but he knew that doing so might arouse police suspicion. It wasn't time to expose his identity yet, so he had to leave early.

As Ye Fei opened the door and entered the house, the living room lamp was on. He looked towards the living room and saw a figure lying on the sofa. Ye Fei approached and shook Pan Hui, asking "Why are you here? What if you catch a cold?"

Pan Hui rubbed her eyes and said, "Boss, you're back. I was just preparing dinner for you."

Suddenly, Ye Fei asked, "Have you been waiting for me to come back for dinner?"

Pan Hui sat up, put on her slippers and said, "I'm the nanny, it's my job."

"Alright, don't worry about it. Just bring me two bottles of beer and some jerky," Ye Fei said.

On the way home, Ye Fei was extremely excited and thought about how Duan Fei had already been arrested by the police. He decided to have a drink to celebrate, not because he wanted Duan Fei to be caught, but because he hoped that Duan Fei could escape. According to Ye Fei's judgement, if Duan Fei escaped, he would not face the pursuit of the police, but the pursuit of Xiao Fei.

"Boss, here's the beef jerky and peanuts. I've already heated up the pig's feet and chicken wings," said Pan Hui.

Ye Fei gently responded, "Alright, just leave it here. You can go rest now."

Pan Hui looked at Ye Fei in surprise and didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude. Worriedly she asked, "Boss, are you okay?"

Ye Fei's face darkened and he said, "Now go back to your room and don't bother me."

Pan Hui patted her chest and said, "It looks like you're okay."

Ye Fei had a headache. Watching Pan Hui hastily return to the bedroom, he shook his head helplessly. In this world, there are always some people who can't be dealt with no matter what. When dealing with them, he could only be ruthless.

As the living room quieted down, Ye Fei opened his beer bottle, took a few sips and happily chewed on the jerky. The feeling of revenge was really satisfying. It was a pity that he had done so much but Duan Fei knew nothing about it.

He wanted to tell Duan Fei his identity in front of him, to make him regret, to make him angry, to make him mad with rage.

Drinking beer and eating meat, Ye Fei fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.

The next morning, when Ye Fei woke up, it was already bright outside.

He rubbed his neck, sat up, and felt a little dizzy.

"Boss, you're awake," said Pan Hui as she walked over.

Ye Fei felt a headache. He might have had too much to drink last night.

"When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up?" Ye Fei looked at the bright sky and complained.

Pan Hui gave him a look and said, "Boss, you didn't say you wanted to wake up early. I've made white porridge for you. Come and have some to warm your stomach."

Ye Fei glared at Pan Hui. This stinky woman dared to talk back. He didn't have time to argue with her and immediately called Manager Ma.

"Manager Ma, are you at the store? Let's talk about the jade piece," Ye Fei said.

Manager Ma didn't have a moment's rest after giving his testimony at the police station last night. When he returned to the store, he immediately found Zhou Yiran and they spent the whole night taking inventory of the losses in the warehouse. They just finished tallying up the exact numbers. With the figures in mind, Manager Ma had already made up his mind.

Just as he was about to call the boss, Ye Fei's phone suddenly rang.

"Boss Ye, I'm sorry, something unexpected happened here. Can I contact you later?" Manager Ma said.

Understanding the situation, Ye Fei smiled and replied, "Sure, we'll be in touch later."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fei rubbed his hands together, filled with joy. But at this moment, he couldn't contain his anxiety and had to hurry over to find out what had happened.

"I won't eat, you can enjoy it yourself." Ye Fei quickly washed his face, changed clothes, and left in a rush.

Pan Hui brought the freshly cooked dishes to the table, but heard the sound of the door closing. Looking at the table full of food, she felt speechless. Did Ye Fei still want her to cook? In these past few days, he might have only eaten a few meals. If he didn't want to eat, he should have said so earlier. All this food went to waste.

"Hmph, if you don't eat, I'll eat it all myself. I'll finish your share," Pan Hui angrily took off her apron and threw it on the chair.

Ye Fei walked into the Jade Pavilion and saw the salespeople gathered together whispering. When they saw Ye Fei enter, they quickly dispersed and returned to their positions. Ye Fei had been coming almost every day, often accompanied by company leaders, which made them involuntarily respect this young man.

"Is Manager Ma here?" Ye Fei asked.

One of the salespeople hurriedly replied, "Manager Ma is in the warehouse. I'll go and call him for you!"

"No need, I'll find him myself," Ye Fei said.

He walked to the backyard and shouted loudly, "Brother Duan, is Manager Ma here?"

Manager Ma opened the door to the warehouse with a troubled expression on his face, forcing a smile and said, "Boss Ye, why have you come?"

"Manager Ma, are you here? I wanted to pick a few pieces of wool," Ye Fei said.

Manager Ma smiled wryly and said, "Boss Ye, I'm afraid I can't let you gamble on stones today."

"What do you mean? Just because I won two pieces of jade, I can't continue buying? That's too much! Where's Brother Duan? I want to talk to him. It wasn't like this when we made the deal," Ye Fei deliberately spoke with a fierce tone.

Manager Ma was afraid that Ye Fei's loud voice would alarm the customers outside, so he quickly grabbed Ye Fei's arm and said, "Boss Ye, please don't speak loudly. Let's talk privately."

Ye Fei followed Manager Ma to a nearby meeting room.

Manager Ma brewed a cup of tea for Ye Fei and sat down, saying, "Boss Ye, please have some tea."

Ye Fei's face showed displeasure as he said, "I want to know what's going on here. Yesterday, you were enthusiastic, but today your attitude has changed. What do you want to do? Do you no longer want to cooperate with me?"

"No, of course, I want to cooperate with you. Boss Ye, please have some tea," Manager Ma said.

"Is that your only answer? I can't find anyone in your store, and you won't even let me choose the wool. I really doubt your sincerity. I only took out the jade from the bank because of your words, but now you have disappointed me. It seems like I need to reconsider our cooperation," Ye Fei said.

Manager Ma looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Boss Ye, please don't misunderstand. We are indeed sincere. If you have any requests, please tell me, I will agree."

Ye Fei's expression softened a bit as he said, "Well, my request is simple. I want to exchange my jade with that piece of old pit material in your store."

Upon hearing Ye Fei's condition, Manager Ma was stunned. He never expected Ye Fei to make such a request. If it were yesterday, he would have tried to agree to the deal, but now, even if he wanted to agree, he couldn't.

"This, this is not possible!" Ye Fei exclaimed with wide eyes.

Manager Ma awkwardly smiled and said, "Boss Ye, it's not that it's not possible, but even if I agree, it won't work!"

"Why? Did you sell that piece of old pit material? Didn't you say there would be an auction? Or did you solve it yourselves and cancel the auction?" Ye Fei asked persistently.

Manager Ma, unable to avoid it any longer, sighed and said, "It's not like that! Sigh, come with me and you'll understand."

Ye Fei followed Manager Ma into the warehouse, only to see broken pieces of wool everywhere.

"What's going on here? Did thieves break in? With so much gold and jewelry outside, why would they come here to break stones?" Ye Fei asked, puzzled.
