So, for a while, neither of them spoke, and Ye Ning, not wanting to provoke him again, silently set her phone to silent mode. It wasn’t until they got into the car that Ye Ning suddenly remembered she needed a tool, and she said to the man in front, "I need to buy a carving knife."
"Yes, the kind you find in markets. Go to South Street; there are plenty of them there." While speaking, Ye Ning pointed in a direction.
Ou Mucen glanced over at her from the front, initially intending to say that there were plenty of carving knife factories around, so why bother buying one?
But then, recalling her bizarre appraisal technique last time at his jewelry store, he changed direction, heading for South Street.
When it came to jade, she surely knew more than he did, otherwise, he wouldn’t have hired her.
Once they arrived at South Street, sure enough, the whole street was lined with shops selling those tools, and Ye Ning got out of the car.
She was about to go straight in, but then she thought of something and turned back to him, "Do you want to come in with me?"
A look of impatience immediately crossed Ou Mucen’s face, "What would I go in for?"
"To pay, Third Young Master; I came out with empty hands." With that, Ye Ning spread out her hands in front of him.
Ou Mucen saw that, indeed...
His last bit of good mood had been completely worn away.
He carelessly took a few RMB notes out of his wallet and tossed them to her with a hint of sarcasm, "People like you, do you never bring money with you when you go out?"
Ye Ning replied, "That depends on the situation, doesn’t it?"
"For instance, when I’m spending money on myself!" Ye Ning gave him a look and went into the store with the money.
Is he an idiot? This isn’t for buying her own stuff. A set costs over a thousand; is she crazy to use her own money!
When Ye Ning went in, she didn’t even glance at the man behind her.
Of course, she wouldn’t look because she knew that at this moment, his face would definitely be sour.
That’s right, with someone as fickle as him, it would be strange if he had a good temper.
At the nearest shop, she bought a set of Jade Carving Knives, which, as expected, were about the price she had thought.
And so she bought them and returned.
Back in the car, the man inside still seemed to be in a bad mood, so she stuffed the change back at him, "Don’t be so stingy, this tool can help you solve problems."
Ou Mucen, sitting in the front, quiet with rage, "What do I have to be stingy about? If the job’s not done well, this money will be deducted from your salary."
What the hell! This bastard!
Ye Ning was on the verge of exploding.
What kind of person was this? She was helping him with his work, and if it wasn’t done well, she had to pay for it?
But after thinking it over, since she wasn’t going to work there much longer, she held back the anger in her heart and decided not to quarrel with him over it.
On the road again, the two in the car didn’t speak for a short while, until Ye Ning began to disassemble the hand-carved knives. Seeing what she was doing through the rearview mirror, he couldn’t help asking, "What are you doing?"
Ye Ning, looking down at the knife in her hands, "I’m taking apart the blades to fit them to your machine table."
Was she insane? Those were hand-carved knives, and he had a machine table; she wanted to mount that onto this?
Ou Mucen felt that this woman had completely lost her mind, "Do you even understand jade carving?"
Ye Ning nodded, "Of course, do you want me to do the carving for you? I guarantee, you won’t find a second piece as beautiful as this in all of A City!"
