A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 293 The High and Mighty Elderly Man

Han Dong-Min was really angry this time and his expression was dark.

This unfiIial son was of no use and was even making trouble here.

"This punk is barely over 20 years old and he thinks he's a master? What is this nonsense!"

Han Dong-Min couldn't be bothered with Ye Fan and the rest. Han Dong-Min knew his son well. His

son wasn't good in anything at all, so how could he know any expert?

"Mayor Han, why are you so agitated? Your son was just trying to be a good son, but unfortunately he's

been brainwashed and tricked by some scammer," persuaded another bald man as he smiled and

shook his head.

Han Dong-Min's driver, Liu, also stepped in to say a few good words for Han Shao-Jie, "That's right,

Mayor Han. Shao-Jie had good intentions, so don't be angry anymore. Let's go back to what we need

to do.”

After everyone around him calmed him down, Han Dong-Min's anger dissipated quite a bit. He glared

coldly at Han Shao-Jie and looked like he was going to teach him a lesson later.

Han Dong-Min returned to his seat and continued with what he was doing earlier. He didn't bother

himself with his son's friends and let them continue standing where they were without even offering

them a seat.

If he didn't have other business to attend to, Han Dong-Min would have chased these children out by

now.

But there was no need to be so extreme and make things so ugly in front of so many people. Han

Dong-Min figured that if he just left them there, they would feel embarrassed and leave by themselves Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

eventually.

Han Shao-Jie had just taken a fierce scolding from his father and felt like someone had splashed a big

tub of cold water on his heart. He wasn't grinning like before when he hoped to claim credit, and just

stood with his head hung without saying anything, like he was an eggplant left in the cold winter.

Han Shao-Jie was too frightened to say anything in the face of Han Dong-Min's authoritativeness.

Instead, it was Lu Wen-Jing who immediately felt outraged and spoke up for Ye Fan, "Fan, this man

has gone too far, hasn't he? You're here to help them but they're not just ungrateful, they even..."

"Shh...Miss Lu, be careful of what you say..." Shen Fei was so shocked when he heard what Lu Wen-

Jing said. He quickly hushed her and told her not to simply say anything she wanted.

If they angered Han Dong-Min again, then they would really get chased out!

Ye Fan continued to keep a calm expression on his face as if this had nothing to do with him. He stood

where he was and observed quietly.

"Mr Zhou, so these are the best jadeites you have on hand? Are you hiding anymore?" asked Han

Dong-Min slowly as he sipped his tea and looked at the bald man sitting in front of him.

Zhou Sheng laughed and replied, "Mayor Han, how could you say something like that. Of course I've

selected only the best for you."

"The eight rocks here are the best from our company! Look at this one! It's covered in snake bands and

so uneven, it's like there's really a snake on it! If there's a snake then it's definitely green inside!"

"And for this one, I won't say I'm 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure that it's green inside. Just yesterday,

someone in Jingzhou offered $50 million to buy this rock and I didn't sell it away because I kept it for

you."

"After all, even though I'm not based in Jingzhou, my father's hometown is still in Yunzhou. Yunzhou is

considered half a hometown to me, so since this city needs jadeite, of course I have to leave it for

Yunzhou and contribute my bit to my

hometown."

Zhou Sheng smiled and started to introduce the place of production and the shape of all the eight rocks

in front of Han Dong-Min.

He praised every piece to the sky.

It was as if these eight rocks were definitely filled with jade.

But Han Dong-Min just listened quietly and didn't say anything.

After all, even though Han Dong-Min didn't know much about these things, he had lost quite a bit from

the last couple of batches and he knew that he couldn't believe everything these suppliers said, and

could only use their words as reference.

The budget he was given by the city was left with only half. Because the budget was insufficient in the

first place, he decided to take a risk and hoped to get jade from some rough jadeite instead of buying

good jade directly.

Han Dong-Min thought that his influence was sufficient to find a few experts in this area, so it wouldn't

be difficult to find high grade jade.

In that way, the budget given to him would be sufficient, and he might be left with quite a bit unused

too.

If he got this matter done well, then his future ahead was bright!

But Han Dong-Min had underestimated the risks of rock gambling.

So he had already spent half the budget on learning this lesson. There was barely any good jade in the

rocks he bought earlier.

He was only left with $200 million, so if this money still couldn't get him really good jade and he couldn't

complete the mission given by his higher-ups, then his higher-ups would definitely question him about

what he did.

His bosses had asked him to buy jade.

But he had decided on his own to take this money and gamble on rocks.

That was considered embezzlement.

If this was exposed, then he might get a light sentence of being fired, but he could also face time

behind bars for the rest of his life.

So this time, Han Dong-Min was being extra careful.

He found four suppliers and got them to bring their best rocks over.

He had even hired Liu Chuan-Zhi, the best disciple of the King of Rocks, Wei Fu, all the way from

Jingzhou to have a look for him.

Han Dong-Min was sure that he couldn't be so unlucky as to still be unable to find rare jade.

After Zhou Sheng finished introducing all the rocks he had brought, the other three suppliers also

brought their rocks out and started to introduce them one by one to Han Dong-Min.

In no time, a few dozen rocks were placed in front of Han Dong-Min.

After Han Dong-Min listened to all four of them, he nodded but didn't give his opinion.

Instead, he turned to look at Liu Chuan-Zhi, who was still resting quietly with his eyes half closed. He

said politely, "Master Liu, I'm really lousy at this and I can't tell one from another. I will have to leave the

rest to you."

Liu Chuan-Zhi slowly opened his closed eyes when he heard these words, and finally just grunted

slowly, as if he was a really big shot.

After that, Han Dong-Min accompanied Liu Chuan-Zhi to touch and look at the rocks.

Sometimes he would shake his head, sometimes he would nod and sometimes he would shine a light

on them.

"Master Liu, how is it? Are there any good rocks in here?" Han Dong-Min quickly looked at Liu Chuan-

Zhi after he had finished his inspection. The other men in

the living room also turned to look at him.

After a long period of silence, Liu Chuan-Zhi shook his head. "There were 28 rocks here in total."

"Not a single one caught my eye!"

What?!

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Han Dong-Min was even more taken aback. "Master Liu, do you mean to say that all of the rocks here

have absolutely nothing in them?!"
