Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 482: Rising Fame

Wufu cut a piece of Peach Blossom Spring and sold it at a sky-high price, pushing the gambling stone event to a climax.

Immediately after, Wufu also won a piece of top-quality full green for the Hundred Treasures Silver Building, causing Wen Jian to laugh with squinted eyes. Though it was not as good as the Peach Blossom Spring, top-quality full green was extremely rare, and it weighed about Liu Jin.

Speaking of this stone, he almost missed it. After all, gambling on seed material was the most difficult, as cutting out jade from such a small weight relied heavily on experience and luck. But Wufu insisted that there would be no other opportunities if he missed this one. Seeing her unveil the Peach Blossom Spring and with luck on her side, he trusted her and bought the piece of seed material.

The result was full green, and the price increased seven or eightfold, making him so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling. However, as the Hundred Treasures Silver Building had its own design and carving department for jade and jewelry, they did not sell it but kept it for their own crafting.

Now, with Wufu consecutively unveiling two fine pieces of jade, everyone turned their attention to the name of the Hundred Treasures Silver Building. Moreover, some people who bought seed material came to Wufu and specifically asked for her help with stone-cutting.

Gambling on stones, apart from experience, also required luck. These people wanted to borrow Wufu’s good hand and luck.

Wufu was somewhat caught between laughter and tears, unable to refuse. With Wen Jian being very generous in lending people out, she went to help with stone-cutting.

Perhaps Wufu lived up to her name, embodying all the five blessings. Today she was full of fortune, as every stone she helped cut yielded jade, and the worst was merely a piece of inferior quality.

Now, the name Wufu echoed throughout the entire trade convention. True to her name and full of good fortune, she was indeed a lucky star.

Thus, by the end of the stone-gambling event, Wufu had met quite a few jade merchants. As for the labor fees for helping with the cutting, people were not stingy, rewarding her handsomely, and she made quite a bit of money.

Beyond that, she also received numerous invitations to join in on stone-gambling or exchange activities at various venues.

Before long, Wufu’s reputation soared, and many people spread the word about what they had seen and experienced; the most talked-about was that sky-high-priced Peach Blossom Spring.

This was also the highest priced piece of jade sold at this event.

When the event concluded, the trade association hosted a banquet at Haiyun Tower, inviting some businesses, jade merchants, and craftsmen. The official reason was to celebrate the successful event, but it was actually a chance for networking and allowing everyone to communicate.

After all, a lot of business deals are sealed over a meal.

This was also because we had Wufu and some female entrepreneurs; otherwise, we would have had to seek such connections in those parlors.

"Xiao Li, it’s fine to have Liu Jin with me. Go back and serve your own master," Wufu said with a smile to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li grinned and said, "My master has already gone back and ordered me to follow and serve you, miss. Liu Jin is still young and may not see things clearly. Moreover, following you, miss, could lead to wealth."

Wufu was stunned for a moment and then laughed as she gave him a sidelong glance, "You’ve made yourself a tidy profit."

Some business-savvy merchants, knowing that Liu Jin and Xiao Li were her people, gave them silver, more or less, to build good relationships for the future. Particularly those who had won big in the bets were generous, giving away a silver note of fifty taels.

This was how the merchants, not short on cash and considering this money won through betting, firmly believed that giving some away would bring even more blessings.

"All right, then you should come with me too. The dishes at Haiyun Tower are quite good." Wufu laughed as she got into the carriage.

Xiao Li hopped onto the carriage shaft. The truth wasn’t really about whether or not it brought wealth; it was because his master was thinking of her rising fame and the Peach Blossom Spring she had cut, afraid that some unsavory characters might harm her. That’s why he sent himself to follow her.
