CHAPTER 10- BISHOUNEN SONG YE

Song Ye didn't low self-esteem nor was she unattractive. In actuality, her facial features were exquisite and beautiful with a solid feeling to it. With smooth and delicate skin and slightly curvy watery eyes, she didn't even looked like those typical girls coming from the countryside that have an oily face during summer and two big red spots on their cheeks during winter.

The reason why Tang MeiLing trio hated and bullied her was because they coincidentally had seen her face during the junior high school entrance ceremony.

The jealousy of women is sometimes even more scary than demons.

With her short hair fluttering under the sunlight, Song Ye couldn't help but raise her head towards the sky, thinking about how refreshing it was without all the nuisances on her head.

In her past life, she usually sported short hair as she had to complete all sorts of missions that required her to be in disguise. Along with the white jacket and black jeans that she had worn earlier, she looked handsome since the attire reduced her beauty as a girl. If one did not observe her properly on purpose, it would be difficult to know her actual gender.

Zhao Zhen woke up early in the morning and printed out the contracts when the sun was not even up yet. After preparing the seal stamp and documents, he sat alone in the shop and occasionally looked at the shop's entrance. He waited and waited until all the employees had come in to work and yet the one that he waited for had not appeared.

If not for the rare emerald that was currently in his bag, he would've seriously thought that it was all a dream.

Just when the employees were busy working and guessing who their employer was waiting for, a slender silhouette walked into the shop. The person wore a white jacket that showed their thin body build along with short, black hair resting at the corner of their clear eyes, looked as if it were like a deep well filled with water was standing there. All of this looked as if it were a very exquisite poster.

"Oh, what a handsome face."

"Yeah, that's right. Seeing all the young masters and young ladies that frequent this shop, this face for sure is the most exquisite amongst them."

"But, is that a boy or a girl?"

Actually, Song Ye herself didn't really look androgynous at all. But due to her short hair and the gender neutral attire that she wore along with her cold and indifferent expression, it had caused confusion.

Give one to two years, when she grows taller, she might really become a pretty boy.

Zhao Zhen of course also noticed the handsome face that caused a ruckus among the employees, but he had only looked for a second before shifting his eyes away, not minding who the person was.

He looked down at the watch on his wrist. It's almost past nine thirty now, why is she not here yet...

When he was thinking that, a shadow appeared in front of his eyes. He raised his head and saw that it was the handsome boy that stood in front of him. When they made eye contact, Zhao Zhen blanked slightly.

"How may I help you?"

Obviously, he did not recognize Song Ye.

Although Song Ye was a cold person, she was also not the type to play 'guessing games' with others and directly told him.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm Song Ye."

After she dropped the sentence, the employees around were exclaiming what a good voice she had, they then turned and saw their employer staod up suddenly, causing the chair to fall.

"You, you are Song Ye? Yesterday….."

He was feeling thirsty as he had waited there for a few hours, not to mention after facing such a situation that further shocked him, he was unable to speak properly.

Song Ye curved her lips slightly and nodded her head.

"I am."

She didn't even changed her face or did any plastic surgery. Did he really need to be that shocked?

That smile of hers had caused Zhao Zhen's eyes to be blurry for a moment and he came to realize how impudent he had been earlier, he then coughed a little.

"Ahem, you look different from yesterday so I did not recognize you. I have prepared all the things, please go ahead inside."

"Mm."

Song Ye then walked towards the direction that Zhao Zhen had pointed, not feeling in the slightest that what she did was condescending.

But when this scene happened in front of the other employees, all their jaw dropped.

A man aged thirty something doing the motion that indicated 'please' to a kid around fifteen years old was already weird enough as it is. Not to mention that this man was the very owner of the famous YuFu Jewellery Shop in Yun Cheng.

In actuality, other than knowing that he was an honest and straight-laced man, Song Ye knew nothing in regards to Zhao Zhen.

But looking at the contract and documents in her hand and the related terms and conditions, Song Ye felt satisfied with his working capabilites.

Looking through the ten columns worth of contents and informations, she then signed her name onto the documents. As she was underage, she also needed to do a thumb print on the documents.

Zhao Zhen was questioning if a kid of her age was able to understand all the business terms…..

After signing the documents, Song Ye can now be considered as an official shareholder of YuFu Jewellery.

Just when Zhao Zhen planned to introduce the operations of the shop, Song Ye had unexpectedly opened her mouth first.

"Is it due to an emergency situation that Uncle Zhao even used the capital of the shop to purchase the apple green emerald?"

Thirty thousand in addition with the thirty percent shares. In this age, it was considered a large sum for a small jewellery shop.

Although Zhao Zhen adored emeralds, he was, at the same time, a businessman. there was no way he would take such a risk.

Hearing that, Zhao Zhen blinked his eyes and sighed as she had expected. He sat on the sofa with a worried expression.

"Actually Yun Cheng does not lack wealthy people, but our position here is secluded. Not to mention, the raw stone market route that we use are all the land routes, and the distance in between is too far away. Even if we go there, we are not able to get any good quality items. And so the jewellery shops in Yun Cheng began to fall one by one. Occasionally, there would be auctions in the raw stone market. During that time, if the sellers were able to take out jewel stones of high enough quality, it would leave behind a good reputation and then the resources for that seller would also be richer."

The resources mentioned here, worked as if spreading out like a circle. The ones at the center would have the most benefits, while the ones at the outer circumference would be weaker.

It was awkward, considering the position of Yun Cheng. So one couldn't really blame Zhao Zhen's desire to auction the apple green jade no matter what.

But now that Song Ye also owned part of the jewellery shop, naturally she would not allow it to face any losses just like that.

"When will the auction take place?"

"Tonight."

Zhao Zhen had actually planned to prepare himself and head there after he was done with the contract.

Song Ye nodded her head and left the documents aside.

"Then I will head there together with Uncle Zhao and stock up while we're there."

Stock up? Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and only understood what she meant by stock up after a while and twitched his mouth. Abstracting the content inside the raw stones was difficult even for a God, while for her it was just something like stocking up from a wholesale?

But thinking about the fact that Song Ye was the one who provided the jade, Zhao Zhen did not touch on the topic anymore.

"Okay, then we will be heading out later. The distance is a little far, so we might need to stay overnight there. Do you want to contact your family first?"

No matter how mature Song Ye appeared to be, she was still underage. Zhao Zhen would still be a proper adult in regards to some affairs.

Song Ye still looked indifferent and directly shook her head. She stood up and walked outside with Zhao Zhen.

"We can leave now."

Although the Song family tend to scold or curse her for no reason at all, they for sure wouldn't be concerned enough to come out and search for her. This she can be sure of.

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth wanting to say something but he did not do so in the end. His instincts told him that Song Ye didn't like him prying into her business.

The raw stone market was at the border of Lin Cheng and the total traveling time would be around three hours. When Zhao Zhen had stopped the car in the hotel parking basement, it was already 2p.m.

The two of them then ate a simple meal and decided to return and rest in the hotel first. Before heading out, Song Ye stopped in her tracks and dropped her gaze at the attractive shop sign diagonally opposite of her.
