Xiao Fei is coming

Upon hearing Ye Fei's teasing words, Manager Ma's face turned bright red and he looked as if he was about to spit out blood. After all, even if Duang Fei had stolen some gold and silver jewelry from outside, it would not have caused such a huge loss.

According to Zhou Yiran's statistics, the value of the jadeite ore that had been unlocked exceeded eight million yuan, and that was just the principal, without taking into account any profit. If you add the profit, the number will become an astronomical figure, which shows how lucrative the gambling company's business is. The value of all the jewelry in the Jadeite Pavilion store amounted to only three million yuan. Moreover, despite Duang Fei unlocking so many pieces of ore, he only got three small pieces of jadeite, and the combined value of these three pieces of jadeite was less than one million yuan. In other words, Duang Fei had put in a lot of effort to do something that was harmful to others and useless to himself. Even if he had run away, he would not have earned more than one million yuan.

One million yuan, just mentioning this number made Manager Ma feel like he was about to spit out blood. It should be noted that when you add up Duang Fei's annual salary, welfare benefits, commissions, and bonuses, his income for the year just barely exceeded this number.

"By the way, where is Duang Ge? Why haven't we seen him?" Ye Fei deliberately asked.

Manager Ma could no longer contain his anger and said angrily, "Stop mentioning that scoundrel."

Ye Fei frowned unhappily. "Manager Ma, although I intend to cooperate with you, you shouldn't slander Duang Ge behind his back. Without him, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today."

Manager Ma sighed, thinking to himself: Did I slander him? But he drove me away and then came back to unlock the ore, causing such a huge loss. The boss scolded me and now it has become my fault in your eyes.

"Xiao Ma, don't hide it anymore, tell Ye Laoban about Duang Fei's scam too." Zhou Yiran walked over with a sad face and said.

"What do you mean? What scam?" Ye Fei pretended not to understand.

Manager Ma helplessly recounted what happened last night.

"So you mean when the police came, Duang Ge was still unlocking the ore?" Ye Fei found it hard to believe that a person could be so greedy.

Manager Ma nodded helplessly. "Yes, he was like he had gone crazy. I don't even understand how he could be like this even if he stole all the stones."

Zhou Yiran found a place to sit down and sighed, "At that time, he was already possessed, just like a gambler at a gambling table. If he lost money, he wanted to win it back. He wouldn't stop until he won it back. You can see from all the broken stones on the ground that he had gone crazy. One after another, he kept unlocking the ore! Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise all of the raw materials would have been unlocked and the boss's hard work would have been in vain."

Ye Fei asked in confusion, "Lei Lao Ban? I heard Duang Ge say that this is Xiao Lao Ban's business! He also said that it's no different from his own business. Then, it seems that unlocking the ore is not a big deal!"

This was also Ye Fei's doubt, what if Xiao Fei let Duang Fei off the hook here like in Tianjin? Then all his efforts would have been in vain.

Manager Ma shook his head and said, "Ye Laoban, you don't know. This shop is a business partnership between Lei Lao Ban and Xiao Lao Ban. The store was opened by Xiao Lao Ban, and the jewelry was prepared by him, but these raw materials are all owned by Lei Lao Ban."

It was Lei Lao Ban who hired Duang Fei to handle the sale of these gambling stones, while his people managed the storefront, all to prevent one from dominating the market. This also meant that now it was not just a matter of raw materials, Duang Fei's behavior would also affect the cooperation between the two companies.

Seeing Ye Fei's sudden realization, Manager Ma smiled wryly and said, "Ye Laoban, now you understand. The situation is very complicated, and we don't know how the two bosses will resolve this issue."

"What about my piece of jadeite?" Ye Fei deliberately changed the subject, so as not to let Manager Ma notice his abnormality.

"It will definitely be accepted, as long as there are no other instructions from above, business will continue. Exchanges are also possible. That old pit material has already been unlocked, but Ye Laoban, fortunately, you didn't exchange it, otherwise your losses would have been even greater." Manager Ma sighed.

"You mean there's no jadeite inside? That's impossible. I think it's very likely." Ye Fei said incredulously.

"There is jadeite, but its quality and size are not as good as the one you have." Manager Ma said.

Ye Fei exclaimed in surprise, somewhat disbelief.

Zhou Yiran sighed and said, "Duang Fei asked me about old pit raw materials. I think he had already decided to make a move, otherwise why would he ask me about it? I didn't realize this at the time because he had never been interested in this kind of thing before. Anyway, we've seen your jadeite and the highest price we can offer is 3.8 million yuan."

Ye Fei realized that Manager Ma had nodded, so he smiled and said, "Okay, that price is fine."

Ye Fei knew that Fat Liang had offered a maximum of 3.2 million yuan yesterday, and today the price had risen by 600,000 yuan. Manager Ma must have some tricks up his sleeve.

"We can start trading now." Manager Ma said.

The two walked back to the living room, and Manager Ma closed the door and said in a low voice, "Ye Laoban, if you don't mind, I can offer you a higher price."

"The price is already very good, I'm satisfied. You can adjust the price to 3.7 million, and the rest of the money will be yours," Ye Fei said.

Manager Ma blushed and said shyly, "This really makes me feel embarrassed!"

"It's alright, it's alright. We will continue to cooperate in the future," Ye Fei reassured.

"Of course," Manager Ma replied.

He looked around and then whispered to Ye Fei, "Actually, there's something else I need to tell you. The cooperation between Boss Lei and Boss Xiao might be ending soon. Then, I will have more say, and we'll have more opportunities to work together."

Ye Fei knew that Manager Ma wasn't backed by Xiao Fei, so he let go of his doubts and smiled, saying, "That's great. I was afraid of losing you as a good partner."

Manager Ma smiled proudly.

Soon, Ye Fei received a text message with the transaction amount of 3.7 million. He was very satisfied.

"Manager Ma, I have one more thing to trouble you with," Ye Fei said.

After the transaction was completed, Manager Ma felt very happy, especially because he could earn an extra 100,000 yuan.

"Please, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will do my best," Manager Ma said.

"No matter what, Duan Fei has been very good to me. I want to go see him. You know I'm a sentimental person. Can you help me?" Ye Fei asked.

Manager Ma frowned and said, "That's a bit difficult. Duan Fei has already been detained."

"So, I can't go see him?" Ye Fei asked disappointedly.

Manager Ma paced back and forth and then said, "Maybe there's a way. Boss Lei told me that Boss Xiao will come tonight and might visit Duan Fei tomorrow. If you really want to see him, I can take you there. I'll talk to Boss Xiao."

When Ye Fei heard that Xiao Fei was coming, he almost showed a strange reaction. His fists clenched, and his nails dug deep into his palms.

Xiao Fei is coming?

He hasn't truly faced this person yet.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. I have something else to attend to," Ye Fei said.

Manager Ma nodded and said, "Alright, I'll call you tomorrow. But if I have something to say, it's better for you not to go. Such people are untrustworthy and won't end up well."

At this moment, Ye Fei only had one thought in his mind: to see Duan Fei. He didn't pick up on the implications in Manager Ma's words. When he learned that Duan Fei's fate had already been decided, he felt extremely lost.

After leaving Fei Cui Pavilion, Ye Fei's thoughts were still in a state of confusion. He didn't even know why he ended up at this private restaurant.

Oh well, since I'm here, I might as well sit for a while.

Ye Fei didn't know why he did this. Was it because of loneliness? He didn't have a friend he could confide in. When his thoughts started to blur, he thought of this place. After Hong Yaqin actively approached him, they became friends.

"Why did you come?" Hong Yaqin was surprised to see Ye Fei enter.

Ye Fei didn't say anything, he grabbed a bottle of beer from the counter and found a seat.

"Are you facing some difficulties?" Hong Yaqin asked with concern.
