“Mister, you are…” Ling Pinyuan had an inkling that there was more than meets the eye about this old man the moment she saw his demeanor. She thought about what her grandfather had told her before and became excited.
“I’m Wu Maosong, chairman of Sea District Jade Association.”
Hearing the introduction from the elderly man, even the professional gamblers who gambled long term could not help but gasp.
Wu Maosong?
This unimpressionable old man was Wu Maosong?!
If Wu Maosong’s name was not shocking enough, or the title of the chairman of the Sea District Jade Association was not impressive enough, then news on his family and children would definitely be able to top it all.
Wu Maosong was the head of the Wu family, while the Wu family of Sea District was the richest in Sea District.
Wu Maosong’s eldest son, Wu Jingzhong, was the current governor of Sea District with a booming career.
His second son, Wu Jingcheng, was the CEO of Wu Group. Under the company, they designed properties, hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and various other industries.
His third child and daughter, Wu Jingmin, was the director of Sea District’s First People’s Hospital and chief surgeon. She was only 42 years old, but she was already a full-fledged professor.
Since all three of his children were outstanding, Wu Maosong, who was the head of the family, lived a relaxing life. He often played with flowers and grass or studied antiques and jade. Over the years, he achieved great achievements and became the chairman of the Sea District Jade Association.
It was the Ling family’s fortune that Soaring Clouds Pavilion could invite such an impressive figure over.
When Ling Pinyuan heard that, her initially pursed expression instantly blossomed into a smile once she confirmed that it was truly Wu Maosong.
If her previous smile was rather smug, then the smile now could be sincere.
“Oh, it’s you, Grandpa Wu. Hello, Grandpa Wu. I’m very honored that you can come to the Soaring Clouds Pavillion to provide us with your guidance! I heard from my grandfather that you might come to the Lingyun Pavilion, but I did not expect you to really come. Why didn’t you greet my grandfather when you came? This way, my grandfather can receive you!”
When Ling Pinyuan spoke, the Soaring Clouds Pavilion’s pavilion master beside her was already on the phone. He was probably calling the head of the Ling family.
Ling Pinyuan’s words made all the stone-gambling lovers in the exhibition hall sigh. The Ling family was indeed rich. Naturally, everything that was being sold by Soaring Clouds Pavilion was good things too. Otherwise, how else could they have attracted such a living Buddha to look at these stones? Instantly, everyone’s confidence in Soaring Clouds Pavilion increased.
However, Wu Maosong was struck dumb for a second. Who was the girl’s grandfather? He did not know him, so what was the point that she called him through the phone? This naive girl said many peculiar things.
Wu Maosong was able to build such a large corporation, so how could he not understand what Ling Pinyuan meant? He was displeased.
Unwilling to say more, he only said, “I just saw that this girl was worried, so I came to help her bear witness.”
In short, Wu Maosong was on Zhong Nuannuan’s side.
Being as conceited that she was, Ling Pinyuan knew that Wu Maosong was unhappy. Therefore, she stopped using his name to promote Soaring Clouds Pavilion anymore. Ling Pinyuan turned around and said to Zhong Nuannuan, “Grandpa Wu is here to be our witness. Are you relieved now? Go and choose.”
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and said, “Thank you for your testimony, Grandpa Wu. However, I would still like to ask Miss Ling to write a receipt. Otherwise, if I really find imperial jade later, what will I do if you’d rather offend Grandpa Wu than sell it to me?” After all, that piece of imperial jade was too big and rare.
“Okay.” Ling Pinyuan could not wait to see Zhong Nuannuan lose, so she immediately wrote the receipt.
