[The Golden Eyes]
[Episode 12]
You stayed up late marathoning dramas again? Quickly use Mageline eye cream so you can watch The Golden Eyes together with me!
But didn't I hear that in the Pagan region,
there are not that many stones in the mines anymore?
How come you have so many?
What you said is correct. But what you mentioned,
are the old Pagan jade mines.
They are famous for black sands forming stones with a black outer shell, like that of charcoal.
You know this, right?
You also know that a mining site was discovered quite early on.
They already dug down several ten meters.
They are about to reach the bedrock. It can't last long anymore.
Look at my rocks.
They are indeed not from the old crater of Pagan, but they are still from there.
They are from a new mining site.
The rocks of Pagan,
even if they're from a new mine, they still have good bidding value.
- Hold on a moment. - Okay.
- Come here. - Did you see anything good?
This stone is good. If you're going to buy one, buy this one.
[Stone Cutting Room]
Oh, my! Wow! Good!
There's green within the stone!
Great!
Isn't that the guy who caused trouble in our stall?
Look, he's in the stone cutting room making some cuts.
Let's go.
Miss.
That policewoman from Beijing already investigated Xu Wei's car.
Your plan worked. Xu Wei, this test stone of ours, is making some movement.
This means that the clue we left has been found out by the police.
They will surely not be able to find anything with Xu Wei.
Even if they don't, it's enough to taint the reputation of the Xu family.
Big Boss wants to enter the local market, and the Xu family will be his greatest competitor.
Letting the Xu family be involved in a lawsuit
will definitely be good for us.
Do you know why we set it up like this?
Isn't it because you didn't do your part cleanly? You didn't destroy the car you were supposed to.
And in the end, the police even got a picture of your side profile and back.
I hope that you can be more professional.
I'm sorry, Miss. The defense layout of the police is too tight.
These few days, prepare well. Go out of the country to hide for a while.
I will.
When you are playing with fire, you should be careful not to burn yourself.
This time will be a lesson for us.
Uncle, I'm trying to help a friend. This matter won't drag down the Xu family.
You little smarty-pants.
Don't think that other people can't see through your intentions.
Yes.
You should know to prioritize. The blind auction is more important, especially those rough stones.
As for others, just put them down.
Don't worry, Uncle. I've arranged everything. I've talked with Director Zhang from the association.
The auction will be held at the museum,
and it is by invitation only. The retailers will not be able to get in.
You must be careful with dealing with Director Zhang. You don't need me to remind you of that, right?
Only my one-way contact is communicating with him and he gave cash.
How are things going with Miss Qin?
It's going well. I'm doing my best to make her happy.
Let me warn you, Xiao Wei. She is not like the other girls that you have dated.
This girl is more dangerous than you think. She is like a rose with thorns.
We don't really know the hidden agenda of the Qin family,
so you should be cautious dealing with them.
Don't worry about it.
I actually do worry about you.
If I were younger, I would take care of it myself.
Right.
Good day, Miss.
- Are you Miss Qin from Xihuang Jewelry? - Yes, I am.
I am an employee for this auction,
and here is your invitation.
Invitation? This is unlike previous years.
The blind auction this time has changed its venue and will be held in the museum.
Also, only invited guests can enter.
Thank you for the information.
[Honored guest, inviting you to attend Pingzhou Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting's...]
Jia Jia, you don't know, but I successively opened two stones with jade today.
Oh, my, that owner was so happy that he almost lighted firecrackers.
Why are you being so full of it? Wasn't it all Zhuang Rui's idea?
I-Is there still any distinction between Xiao Rui and I?
When the two of us are together, it's always a union of two swords! Am I right?
Union of the pretentious and cheap.
Say, it's a coincidence today, that we all were able to gather here in Pingzhou.
It's even a date of four people. Double date.
Double date.
Zhuang Rui.
So sorry. I'll just answer this call.
Hello, Xuanbing.
Xuanbing? Qin Xuanbing?
On the outside, she looks cold, but she's really good in seducing men.
What does Zhuang Rui like about her? Just ignoring a beautiful woman like me.
You... Could it be you... Him?
That... So sorry, everyone. I'll get going first.
This... You're going now? It's not easily to gather like this.
Xuanbing told me she has something important to say about tomorrow's emporium.
Hence... I'm going now.
You... You're really good.
Feifei! Say, how come Zhuang Rui is such a killjoy person?
I'm leaving, too.
Feifei! Feifei!
What a silly girl.
♪ Only you...
Don't worry. I'm not leaving.
What are you doing then? Drink up!
Cheers!
♫ Went to change the white window curtain ♫
This morning, you were in the emporium?
That's right.
I know very well the level of
Huangfu Yun. He wouldn't have said such words.
Also, I saw him wearing a bluetooth ear piece.
Aren't you afraid of offending the Xu family?
It's okay. They were clearly swindling money from the retailers.
Someone must stand up to say some righteous words.
But Grandfather Gu already said
that that businesswoman won't be able to enter the PIngzhou Emporium.
But Bing Bing, for the Xu family to do that,
aren't they afraid to incite criticisms from the retailers?
The Xu family is a leader in the gemstone industry.
Small disturbances like this won't affect them.
Moreover, the act today
was just some petty maneuver between Xu Wei and Yue Qun.
Xu Zhendong won't give any importance to it.
Moreover, their goal isn't in here.
What is their goal then?
The blind auction.
The Xu family has successively earned the top honor in the blind auction for several years.
They have a very close relationship with the organizers, so this year, they started to implement an access system.
Access system?
Right. The auction this year is going to be held in the museum instead.
All people entering must have an invitation to be allowed inside.
Invitation? Then won't the retailers not even be able to touch the door of the blind auction?
Correct. Only by doing that can they be satisfied,
can they decrease the number of people in the auction,
and ensure that they will still become the top auctioneer this year.
♫ I never felt such an intense feeling ♫
♫ Like a lightning hitting the surface of the calm sea ♫
♫ The raging water of my yearning ♫
♫ is about to burst the dam ♫
♫ Toppling my little world ♫
♫ I never thought that the sky would change ♫
I... will catch up with your speed.
♫ Naively, I thought ♫
♫ that as long as I foolishly wait ♫
You... have good alcohol tolerance.
In the past, I firmly believed that fairness should be the principle to be followed for a long-lasting progress in the precious stone world.
But I was wrong.
Only by being blinded by greed like the Xu family
can you obtain profit.
Even if I can't accept their methods,
I also can't do anything about it.
I discussed it with my father.
I've decided to give this to you.
Why are you giving me this?
These past two years, the supply of rough stone in the precious stone market can't already meet the demand.
For huge enterprises like that of the Qin and Xu families,
if we don't have adequate rough stone supplies, our share in the market will continue to go down.
The Xu family has set their eyes on No. 0 jade. They are hell bent in getting it.
Although our family is also here for the same jade,
a strong dragon won't oppress a local snake.
For the local market, there's no need for us to compete with the Xu family.
Hence, I hope to borrow your strength in giving back the precious stone field some fairness and justice.
No, you are really thinking too highly of me.
Stop being modest. Who in the precious stone world now doesn't know of your great name?
You are already a legend in the precious stone world.
Don't. Don't. I can't bear such praises.
The precious stone circle is a field full of mystery to begin with.
Hence, everyone believes and looks for a miracle.
This year, you're already the greatest miracle in the precious stones field.
I don't know how many people are competing to get you to be a consultant in their companies.
If not because I knew you beforehand, I might not have been able to make any connections with you anymore.
Don't say it like that.
What? You haven't heard enough? Still want me to continue praising you?
Stop praising.
Oh, I saw that you and that
Little General Manager Xu of Xu family seems to be...
Just unavoidable socialization in the business circle.
I've said it. The Xu family is the top boss of the local precious stone business.
And since our family wants to enter the local market, we have to maintain a good relationship with them.
Or else, it would be hard for us to maneuver locally. Father has been working hard for our business. I just want to help him.
So that's the case. I understand.
What do you understand?
I understand... that...
How important Auction Number 0 is to you.
These past two years, the supply of raw materials for the precious stone business has diminished.
The different enterprises are stocking up in rough stones.
Hence, the Qin family, the Xu family,
are all competing for these rough stones.
In the future, whoever has the most number of jadeites
or rough stones, he can make a stable footing in this business.
Sure, Bing Bing, I'll try my best.
But I can't make any guarantee.
You doing your best is already the best guarantee.
Zhuang Rui, do you know
that whenever they cut open a rough stone,
your actions makes me think that you can see
the internal composition of a stone. So magical.
Let me tell you a secret.
The reason I was able to successively guess the right stone
is because...
I have a pair of wise eyes that can see through a jadeite.
Zhuang Rui, you're so humorous.
♫ I never felt such an intense feeling ♫
♫ Like a lightning hitting the surface of the calm sea ♫
♫ The raging water of my yearning ♫
♫ is about to burst the dam ♫
♫ Toppling my little world ♫
Don't panic.
Deep breaths. Deep breaths. I'll think of a way.
♫ That the world with you would have continuous dark rainy days ♫
♫ Naively, I thought ♫
♫ that as long as I foolishly wait ♫
Zhuang Rui is so good.
I'm also quite good.
You are such a glib.
You're able to follow through any conversation.
Also, the jokes you make are not funny at all.
The brags you make aren't cool at all.
♫ Feeling your palm and I know ♫
But how come...
♫ Rubbing my eyes and I know ♫
♫ Just how different you are ♫
♫ Holding your palm and I know ♫
I can remember every word that you say?
♫ That would come here ♫
♫ following your heartbeat ♫
♫ I show scissors, you show paper ♫
♫ I know you are losing on purpose ♫
♫ If I were to show rock, ♫
♫ you would not show paper ♫
♫ I know you're deliberately making me laugh ♫
♫ Na, na, na, na ♫
♫ Two become one ♫
♫ Connecting two hearts ♫
Where did you go last night?
Stop pretending! Stop pretending!
Where did you go last night?
Last night? I drank too much last night.
This... I also don't know how... to explain it.
It's fine. If you don't know how to say it, then don't bother saying. I more or less can understand.
Sit. Sit. Quickly sit.
Brother Ma.
What's wrong?
I've predicted that those assholes will have another trick up their sleeve.
It's just an auction.
Why must they still implement an access system?
They think this is the World Cup?
Access system? What's that?
Get me a glass of water first.
No, explain it first.
The organizer of the emporium changed the venue of the auction to the museum.
Also, just for this activity, they especially made a batch of
specialized invitations.
Without an invitation, you're unable to get in.
Shocking, right?
Don't even talk about the auction, you can't even get in through the door!
This... no big deal. Let's just have someone get us one.
Are you superman? You can get one?
Where would you get it?
This is making me sweat from anxiety.
Brother Ma, actually, I have an entrance invitation.
Here.
Look at that. It's still Xiao Rui
who has more prestige. Where did you get this?
Xuanbing gave it to me.
Let's not bother with who gave it.
There's just one invitation.
Among the three of us, it's fine if he goes or not,
but it's still not enough.
Hence, for this blind auction,
they made it very strict.
All these invitations are in the hands of the big clients.
Also, there's not much.
This means that we have less money,
just loose retailers, so they are looking down on us.
They are belittling the intelligence of working class members like us too much.
Leave it to me.
Uncle, we're having a situation right now in the blind auction venue.
A lot of loose retailers have the invitation.
I don't know where they got them. All are falling in line to get inside.
Just drive away the fake ones.
Why are you panicking?
Yes, but they also have our specialized anti-counterfeit code.
I don't know where they got it.
The security totally can't block them. What do we do now?
You can't even do this thing right?
Sorry, it's my negligence.
Looks like someone is deliberately going against us.
I understand what you mean. I'll go handle it now.
Just proceed as planned.
Don't be bothered by those retailers.
Put all your energy on the auction.
Try your best to obtain any good materials.
Always take note of the movement of item number 0.
The top auctioneer this time must still be us.
I'll go handle it now.
Let's go.
- Hello. - Hello. - The ticket please.
You may enter.
- Hello. - That way please.
Hello.
- Please enter. - It's okay now.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Please enter. - This way please.
Hello.
Why did you follow me up to here?
Quickly go outside and see if you can find any clues.
Yes.
Next one.
Please go inside.
Hello.
Okay. Please go inside.
Please.
Please go inside.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please enter.
You really gave me a huge surprise today.
In just a short time, you were able to come up with so many of these.
Won't you be angering that Little General Manager to the point of distorting his face?
- Can I enter here, too? - Yes.
It's all thanks to the sample that Zhuang Rui provided.
This item is currently
of no value. I can produce as many as I want.
They totally have no technological content, you know?
They thought that making a QR code can already prevent counterfeits.
Rich people like us are also very intelligent.
Okay, I'll count this as your merit.
I'll treat you tonight. Choose something expensive.
Sure.
What's wrong? Why do you look so resentful?
Uncle De told me that jade has five virtues.
One of it is rectitude.
He said that a jade is the same from outside to inside.
Cultivating both internal and external traits, loyal and righteous.
Correct.
If this were ancient times,
the three of us would have become the noble warriors, the Three Swordsmen.
What are your thoughts?
Among the five virtues is bravery.
Would rather break than bend. Have bravery to proceed the right way.
I'm not sure if I'm able to do them.
When we arrived in this emporium, we saw a lot.
There's the wild passion of people towards gambling stones, and the respect towards this circle.
There's also the satisfying pleasure of suddenly entering heaven or hell with one cut,
and the abundant amount of money that I've never seen in all my life.
Looking at it now, starting from that stone by Brother Ma,
we unconsciously got dragged into some dirty methods.
We were lucky to be able to avert all disaster.
But what if our luck turns for the worse?
Do we then have to accept our misfortune, admit that we are losers, and allow others to trample on us?
That's right. Good thing our luck is great.
Look at these retaileres.
They would get tricked and still have to thank those swindlers.
No, with that Xu family being such assholes,
could they have tampered with the auction, too?
Shouldn't there be someone intervening?
From the looks of it, a few people have monopolized the emporium.
Fairness has long been gone.
Although there are many retailers, the foundation is still thin.
Even if we know that the blind auction is rigged,
we can't fight against them.
Then...
even if we all go in, we won't be able to do anything?
Then, we'll just allow those big shot businessmen to earn unfair money?
Since we've taken this first step,
we would at least tell those people who are trying
to pinch the retailers to death that there is some money
that's not that easy to earn.
Please go inside.
Hello, I can check your ticket here.
Please go inside.
Yes, okay.
Please go in.
Okay. Please go inside.
Hello. Please enter the security check.
Feifei.
You look so haggard. You didn't get a good sleep again last night?
It's nothing. Probably just stiff neck.
Say, is it really that interesting to be a workaholic?
You even have the nerve to lecture me?
Last night...
Where did you go?
With whom?
What time did you go back to your room?
What? Interrogating me like a criminal now?
Don't think that I don't know.
Huangfu Yun, right? You two—
Quickly eat something.
You two can't be...
I feel that Zhuang Rui...
He's actually not that suitable for me.
Look at him acting stupid all day.
He only knows to stare at those rotten stones.
Not taking the initiative nor knowing to be tactful.
Why are you being mad with a pile of wood?
Hence, starting today,
I've decided to blacklist him. There's no chance for us.
Fine. With you being so pretty, everything that you say is right.
I just want to tell it to you.
Just remember my words.
What's this?
What's wrong?
Look at this line. Is it a crack or a carving?
It's this man.
- Magnify it. - Yes.
Zhuang Rui.
I checked the surveillance tapes. This person also appeared at Miss Yue's stall.
His actions are very suspicious.
General Manager Xu, I checked the surveillance tapes from yesterday.
He appeared at other stalls, too. He acted suspiciously.
Zhuang Rui. It's really you making all the trouble.
That fellow Zhuang Rui instigated the retailers to create trouble. The counterfeit invitation cards were created by him.
Zhuang Rui?
Gu Tianfeng's adopted grandson?
I have already confirmed the surveillance recordings. As long as he appeared in that place, there would surely be trouble there.
I think this fellow is tired of living. He dares to oppose our Xu family.
I actually think that this young man has a lot of courage. He dares to think and act out his thoughts.
Looks like Gu Tianfeng has not become dull despite his age. His judgement is still very accurate.
He really did find a good sapling.
I think he's just an ass. A nobody.
Short-tempered. You only know to be fast in disputing others.
- You must use your brains in all things. - Yes.
Send someone to inform him that I want to treat him to tea tonight.
Uncle, I really don't understand why you are giving such a big honor to him.
Aren't you making him more proud this way?
Xiao Wei, I am old already.
The future of Xu family depends on you.
Yes.
I usually tell you that I hated the fact that iron can't be made into steel (resenting someone for failing to meet expectations).
The rules of the emporium are old. We need new blood to give it a boost.
We have not seen a new talent like this for many years.
Remember this. There is no forever enemy, just forever benefits.
Our Xu family came into business for making profits.
Do not easily make enemies, especially the powerful ones.
I understand.
Making friends with him will benefit you.
Yes.
Hello. Send an invitation to Zhuang Rui. Chairman Xu would like to invite him for tea.
Yes.
And get Peng Fei over here for me. There's work for him to do.
Yes.
Little Zhuang, you gained quite a lot from the sales in the emporium this time round.
One after another, you managed to get the good rough stones from the Hou River and Pagan regions.
No wonder Chairman Gu regards you so highly.
Within the precious stones circle, it is very difficult now to meet young people who are so gifted like you.
Chairman Xu, you praised me too highly.
But you must know that the moon waxes only to wane, water fills to the brim only to overflow.
Being in the limelight all the time is not a good thing.
Then, can Chairman Xu advise me?
Come.
Sit.
The wind blows harder on a big tree because it is not protected by the forest.
Two powerful players joining hands in alliance can ensure that the power will last.
Work with me. Collaborate with Xu Jewelry.
The upcoming Precious Stones Trade Fair would be your chance to be famous.
Be famous?
I have never thought about it.
When you've reached a certain stage in many things,
it's no longer up to you to think about them or not.
Benefits and crises will come at the same time.
If you do not weigh them properly,
they will vanish in a puff of smoke at a blink of the eye, and even
without any hope of reprieve.
I, too, walked all the way here from the time I was young.
I thought I had some talents, so I became arrogant. I suffered many losses.
Fortunately, I was helped by eminent people, so I was able to walk all the way to where I am now today.
I really don't want to see a young man as talented as you suffer the same setbacks and disillusions as I did those years ago.
Being in the trade for a long time, one sees more things.
Because many young people did not grasp it well,
the flash of divine light disappeared in an instant.
Little Zhuang, you must consider this carefully.
You can't have opportunities anytime you want.
Furthermore, my Xu Jewelry has a bit of reputation in the industry.
Join hands with me, and I guarantee that you will become the industry's nouveau riche in no time at all.
Thank you, Chairman Xu.
I've long heard of the great name of Xu Jewelry.
But I really don't have any plans for the future.
I came to the emporium this time mainly to accompany my friends to have fun and roam around.
When I do things, I like to be grounded.
I like to treat others sincerely and honestly.
As to fame and fortune, I don't quest for them.
I'm satisfied and contented with what I have.
