(Orange Cat is here to wish all readers a happy new year! Wish you good fortune!!!)
When Huang Gai walked into the study, he looked in surprise at Sun Quan who was squatting on the ground sorting documents.
"Uncle Huang? Uh, wait a minute, I'll sort it out." Sun Quan saw Huang Gai and hurriedly arranged a seat out of embarrassment.
Huang Gai bowed his fist respectfully and said, "No need, Second Master, Huang came to see the military advisor to take orders."
Behind the mountain of documents, Zhou Yu poked his head out with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and said: "The plan for the Western Expedition is on the cabinet behind the door."
Huang Gai glanced at Zhou Yu, and the unhappiness that arose in his heart due to Zhou Yu's neglect immediately disappeared.
Sun Quan cupped his hands and said apologetically: "Uncle Huang, please forgive me. Brother Gongjin has been working hard for official duties these past two days, and I didn't mean to be negligent."
Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu who lowered his head and quickly moved the chips, smiled, and said: "The second master has met. Huang knew that the military advisor was tired, and he admired him deeply. However, it is not a problem for the military advisor to continue like this, or is it?
Let’s find a way to persuade him to rest for a few days.”
Sun Quan looked back at Zhou Yu, sighed helplessly, and said like a young adult: "I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen."
At this time, Zhou Yu, who was immersed in calculating the cost of food and grass, raised his head and said with a smile: "Why are you sighing at a young age? I know you care about me. When these calculations are finished, I will go to the back room to rest, and the next official work will be handed over to me."
Here you go."

When Sun Quan heard this, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Gongjin, please go and have a rest, I will not let you down."
Zhou Yu chuckled, looked at Huang Gai again, and said: "After reading the strategy of the Western Expedition, if you have any questions, you can ask at any time. As for the dispatch of troops and food, I will leave it to..."
After a pause, Sun Quan looked at him expectantly, and Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Let the second master take charge."
When Sun Quan heard that it was really left to him, he was so happy that he quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, military advisor, there is absolutely no problem in leaving it to me."
When Huang Gai saw this, he smiled and said, "Well, if there is anything you don't understand, Huang will discuss it with the second master first."
Sun Quan ran to the cabinet, took down a book, and handed it to Huang Gai with both hands.
Huang Gai turned it over casually, with a look of surprise on his back.
"this……"
Huang Gai raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yu, who was immersed in settling accounts, and bowed his fist respectfully, "Thanks for your hard work, military advisor."
Zhou Yu nodded slightly indifferently and continued to work hard.
Huang Gai looked at the strategy for the Western Expedition in his hand, and couldn't help but feel nervous. With such a detailed strategy in his hand, I am afraid that even a literate soldier could complete the task of the Western Expedition. It was written in too much detail.
"Is it really possible for a seventeen-year-old boy to write this?" Huang Gai asked himself, even he couldn't do it.
When he thought of this, he turned back to look at Sun Ce who was working out in the yard. He was also seventeen years old. These two people, both civil and military, might really be able to achieve great things!
No, they've already done it.
They made a desperate move to expand the territory southward, and when almost no one was optimistic about them, they opened up nearly a thousand miles of territory for the Han Dynasty. Such determination and courage are extraordinary, but these two seventeen-year-old boys did it.
.
Huang Gai suddenly regretted why he didn't follow Sun Ce south earlier, otherwise he would be at least a fifth-grade partial general now.
Fortunately, it's not too late now. He got such an important task as soon as he came here, which shows that Sun Ce still takes good care of him as an old man.
Huang Gai left happily with the plan for the Western Expedition.
Sun Quan stood up, put the compiled documents on the cabinet aside, and then asked Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin, there are so many people coming this time, why did you choose Uncle Huang?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu looked up at Sun Quan and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Sun Quan pursed his lips, knowing that Zhou Yu was testing himself.
After thinking for a long time, he tentatively said: "Brother Gongjin should be looking for someone who is obedient, someone who can fully follow the strategy of the Western Expedition. Uncle Huang is a serious person and is very strict in doing things, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "It's almost the same, but there's one thing you didn't take into consideration."
Sun Quan was overjoyed at first, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Gongjin, please teach me."
Zhou Yu continued to lower his head and adjust his calculations, and said quietly: "After your father left, many people had different intentions. Only Huang Gongfu and a few others have remained firm and have not changed their stance. This is the main reason why I chose him."
"I see..." Sun Quan nodded thoughtfully.
···
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
Wei Cheng and Cai Yan talked about Bai Chuyi's experiences over the years.
Cai Yan had actually known about Wei Cheng for a long time, as his fiancée.
When the Wei family found the Cai family for marriage, someone in the Cai family mentioned this girl, but the Bai family had already been exterminated, so they didn't care.
Now that he suddenly learned that Bai Chuyi was not dead, Cai Yan was shocked and felt a little emotion in his heart, but it only passed away briefly.
Then, he was shocked by Bai Chuyi's pitiful experience, and at the same time felt great sympathy for her.
Cai Yan is a kind-hearted person to begin with, and has long accepted the fact that Wei Cheng has three wives and four concubines. In fact, she is not too touched whether there is one more daughter or one younger daughter, as long as Bai Chuyi does not replace her as the head wife.
Just fine.
As for Hao Niang and Zhong Chan, they didn't care even more. They had bad backgrounds, Hao Niang was a peasant girl, and Zhong Chan was the daughter of a criminal minister.
Zhong Chan, in particular, felt close to Bai Chuyi, who was also ruined by He Jin, even without meeting him.
The only one who was a little unusual was Xie Yu.
She thought of the half piece of jade pendant and what she had said to the Cinderella girl, and she couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed.
"Husband, when do you plan to marry Sister Bai into the palace?" Cai Yan asked, holding Dabao in his arms.
Wei Cheng thought for a while and said: "Let the Ministry of Rites choose a suitable day later. There is no rush. She is living with her second uncle now, and her second uncle and second aunt will take care of her."
Cai Yan nodded slightly, glanced at Hao Niang, and said, "I can't leave the palace at will. Sister, please take some time to run for me and give Sister Bai some personal gifts."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hao Niang nodded, she often leaves the palace, so it is just right to leave this matter to her.
At this time, Xie Yu suddenly said: "I'd better go, I've met sister in the first grade of junior high school before."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xie Yu in surprise.
Xie Yu blushed, hesitated for a long time, and finally told the story of that day.
As for why he deceived Bai Chuyi, Xie Yu looked at Wei Cheng and said hesitantly: "I wasn't married to you at that time. When I saw a woman suddenly having a relationship with you, I felt unhappy. You want to fight me?"
If you want to scold, just do it."
Wei Cheng looked at her belly that was already showing her pregnancy, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
How could he blame Xie Yu? If a girl suddenly told him that she was his fiancée, Wei Cheng would definitely not recognize her.
As for now, I can only say that some things are destiny.
···
That night.
Wei Cheng took the time to return to modern time and space.
Longcheng International Hotel.
In the VIP box on the top floor of the hotel, a party for the upper echelons of Dragon City was in full swing.
As the organizer, Sanshu Hua would inevitably invite Wei Cheng to the event.
After all, the protagonist of this party is Wei Cheng's batch of jadeite stones.
At around eight o'clock, Wei Cheng, Mu Mu and Hua Qingyu arrived at the venue on time.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Uncle Hua walking towards me, followed by a female star.
Wei Cheng vaguely remembered that this female star was very popular a few years ago. In the past two years, he had not watched much TV, but occasionally he would see this female star on some variety shows.
Hua Qingyu whispered: "My third uncle wants to marry her, but the old man refuses. I have no choice but to keep her outside. What do you think, do you want her to sign an autograph?"
Wei Cheng chuckled and said, "I'm not star-chasing, so I don't need to sign an autograph. You can ask her later if she wants to accept endorsements. It just so happens that the jewelry company is short of an endorser. I remember her reputation is not bad."
Wei Cheng looked at Mu Mu.
Mu Mu nodded and said: "I did consider asking her to be a spokesperson before, but our jewelry is not worried about sales at all. I feel that it doesn't matter whether we find a spokesperson or not. For cost reasons, I put it aside for now."
Wei Teng nodded slightly, looked at Uncle Hua who was approaching, and said, "Let's sign it later, as a way of giving Third Uncle face."
Mumu said ‘hmm’.
At this time, Uncle Hua had already arrived with Su Chang, who had played the role of "Tianshan Child Mother".
"Haha, Xiaocheng, you are finally here. Come on, there are some old friends here. Let me introduce them to you."
Wei Teng declined with a smile on his face: "I'm just here to join in the fun. As for those people, to be honest, I'm used to it. Third uncle, don't bother, haha."
"You, you, that's fine. Anyway, it's them who beg you later, and it's definitely not you who begs them." Uncle Hua joked.
At this time, Su Chang pulled Uncle Hua's arm and looked at Wei Cheng with a smile.
Uncle Hua then introduced several people.
Wei Cheng said hello politely, while Su Chang looked at Wei Cheng, Mu Mu, and Hua Qingyu with great interest.
Hua Qingyu won't go into details. She is also familiar with him. He is the apple of the eyes of the old man of the Hua family in Longcheng.
As for Mu Mu, she is a powerful woman from Dragon City who has been in the limelight recently. There are many versions of the legend about Mu Mu.
Many people said that she was a mistress being cared for by so and so, but now that she has seen it, the rumors are indeed not believable.
Regardless of Wei Cheng's appearance and temperament, which is unique to those in power, the rich in a small place like Longcheng cannot compare with him.
Su Chang had already begun to wonder whether this young master who suddenly appeared was a descendant of which big family in Xia Kingdom.
"That's okay. Since you don't want to show your face, just take a seat first. The auction will start soon. Watch the third uncle's ability carefully, hehe."
Uncle Hua said with a mysterious face.
···
"...Next is lot No. 6, a half-opened window of the finest imperial green. Such a translucent water head is very rare on the market. According to the final estimate of several experts present, the starting price is thirteen million, and each increase will be no less than
Five hundred thousand..."
"One thousand and four."
"One thousand six."
"Everyone, give me Wang Hongquanxing a favor. My family just needs a rockery, which costs 18.88 million."
"Oh, that's not a small statement, 20 million!"
"..."
After several rounds of bidding, the final transaction price was set at 31.5 million, which was easily won by a rich second-generation man from Shanghai.
Wei Cheng looked at the people bidding and found several familiar faces among them, and he knew a little more about Uncle Hua's connections.
Mu Mu was tapping the calculator on her tablet and said with a smile: "With this addition, it has exceeded 200 million."
Wei Cheng smiled and said: "We still need to deduct taxes, we must be legal citizens."
Mu Mu nodded, deducting the tax, and her face suddenly fell. The tax deduction was too harsh, and a house in the capital was lost in an instant.
In fact, this type of private transaction auction does not require tax deduction, or it can be said to be a legal tax avoidance.
But Wei Cheng really does not miss this point, so he should support national construction.
Seeing that Mu Mu's face was not good, he smiled and comforted: "Oh, it's only more than 20 million, just be careful, money is just a number to our family, don't pay too much attention, it will affect your mood.
"
Mu Mu pouted her little mouth and said distressedly: "That's more than 20 million."
Of course, she didn't have to save the money, she just felt distressed and it would be fine in a while.
The auction is still going on, and there is also a part of gambling on stones.
Among the rough stones that Wei Cheng brought over, many did not have windows, which were specially prepared as gifts for this session.
It can be regarded as a gift to Uncle Hua.
However, what Wei Cheng didn't expect was that there were several pieces of jadeite of good quality found in those rough stones.
Among them, the Internet celebrity Shenhao became the biggest winner in this game. He offered a piece of jade worth more than two million yuan for more than 300,000 yuan and sold it on the spot.
Hua Qingyu said: "In just this moment, the number of people in his live broadcast room has increased by at least hundreds of thousands, and he has made more money than gambling on stones."
Wei Cheng chuckled lightly, "That's also his ability. Anyway, he definitely doesn't make as much as me."
Indeed, Wei Cheng received at least more than 400 million tonight, and this is the first batch of jadeite rough. Next, Sun Ce will continue to deliver goods to him. These 400 million are just a starting point.
During this period, Uncle Hua ran over and said with a smile: "Xiaocheng, a friend has no cash to settle the bill and plans to use a car to pay for it. You can see which one you like and I will send it to you later."
He was referring to the income from gambling on stones, because these rough stones were gifts given to him by Wei Cheng and he could deal with them as he pleased. He was not referring to Wei Cheng's half-opened stones. He would get every cent of Wei Cheng's money.
The money was transferred to Wei Cheng’s company account.
Wei Cheng took the mobile phone he handed over, and when he saw the photos on the screen, his eyes suddenly lit up.
However, Wei Cheng still handed the phone to Mu Mu and said, "Which one you like."
Mu Mu took the phone, studied it with Hua Qingyu for a while, and chose a Ferrari SF90. Uncle Hua took one look at it, smiled and went to deal with it.
Wei Qing frowned and said, "I paid three million to my account, why did you choose a car worth eight to nine million?"
Mu Mu looked at Hua Qingyu.
Hua Qingyu said nonchalantly: "It's okay. My third uncle has benefited you so much tonight, so I should let him spit it out."
Wei Cheng smiled angrily, but didn't say anything.
According to the agreement, Wei Cheng will give Uncle Hua 10% of his hard work fee.
Of course, Uncle Hua doesn't care about the tens of millions. What he wants is resources and a gimmick to maintain his circle and connections.
As for Wei Cheng, what he wanted was a way to monetize those raw jade stones, so the two of them could each get what they needed.
