They had heard of Jade Beauty Jewelry, because it was unbelievably famous right now. There were branches of Jade Beauty Jewelry in many cities of all tiers.

The brand had been established for only two years, so it was really amazing that it could become so successful within such a short time.

However, they had only heard of Jade Beauty Jewelry, but didn’t know who owned it. They didn’t bother to collect information about it either.

“Oh, Miss Gu, I didn’t expect you to be the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry. I can’t believe its boss is a young girl who isn’t twenty yet. You’re really impressive for making such great achievements at such a young age.” Kang Shaojie was extremely impressed by Gu Ning.

“I’m flattered, Mr. Kang,” said Gu Ning politely.

“No, no, you deserve the compliment. I’ve never seen anyone else who can make so many great achievements at your age. To be specific, not many can have even half of your achievements at such a young age.” Kang Shaojie understood that Gu Ning was being modest, but he still couldn’t help complimenting her, because he was really impressed.

“Right, it’s also my first time to see such a young achiever.” The deputy director agreed.

This time, Gu Ning smiled and said nothing.

They only knew that Jade Beauty Jewelry belonged to her, and didn’t know that she had other companies. If they knew more about her, they would be even more shocked.

“Miss Gu, you have all the documents we need. As long as you make a choice, we can talk about the prices and finish the formalities. I’ll give you a map with every mountain of City Rui printed on it. Mountains that are already owned are marked, but you can choose among the available ones. After you make your choices, we can finish the formalities,” said the deputy director. After knowing Gu Ning’s status and abilities, he was even more polite to her though he also did that for Kang Shaojie.

Power was always more influential than money. If the Bureau of Land and Resources was unwilling to sell mountains to her, Gu Ning could do nothing about it, unless she turned to a more important official for help.

If she could make the deal harmoniously, there would be no need to bully other people.

“Thank you so much, deputy director.” Gu Ning thanked him.

“My pleasure, Miss Gu. This is our job,” said the deputy director.

If they could sell the mountains, it would be an investment, which was to their credit. Therefore, the deputy director didn’t think he was helping Gu Ning. Instead, it was Gu Ning who helped him. It was a win-win.

After that, the deputy director gave Gu Ning the map, then Gu Ning and the others left.

If it was time for a meal, the deputy director would have invited them to share a meal.

Afterwards, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue needed to look for mountains containing raw jade materials, while Kang Shaojie needed to go deal with his own business.

There were tens of thousands of mountains in City Rui. Even though Gu Ning had Jade Eyes, it wasn’t easy to find one with raw jade materials.

Compared with other major cities, City Rui was small, but it was quite large for Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue who needed to climb up and down mountains one after another. It might even take them a few days.

On the other hand, if they had good luck, they might not need to spend much time on it. Therefore, it mainly depended on their luck.

City Rui was surrounded by mountains, but Gu Ning could only search for what she wanted from one side. After careful thinking, Gu Ning decided to start searching from the side near Burma.

“Well, if we go right now, we might not be able to come back at night if we have bad luck. Will you go with me or will you go back to the hotel?” Gu Ning asked Baili Zongxue. Although she knew that Baili Zongxue would go with her, she still asked that question, or it might seem that she took it for granted.

If Baili Zongxue didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t think it was a big deal.

“I will go with you,” said Baili Zongxue without hesitation. She didn’t want to stay at the hotel alone. It was boring.

She also wasn’t an ordinary girl, so she wasn’t scared when she was in the remote mountains.

“Great, then let’s go now!” Gu Ning said nothing further, and set off with Baili Zongxue.

She didn’t drive, because they would directly walk into the mountains after leaving the city center. They wouldn’t stay on the road all the time, so a car wasn’t convenient.

After walking deep into the mountains, they would move using qinggong, so they were very fast.

Once Gu Ning was in the mountains, she used her Jade Eyes to see the inside of those mountains. Unfortunately, she didn’t see any raw jade materials.

Because of Baili Zongxue’s presence, Gu Ning still searched for raw jade materials for a while. She checked the soil first, then used her senses to feel what was under the ground.

When Gu Ning did that, Baili Zongxue followed her, but she felt nothing special under it.

“Gu Ning, can you really see whether there is jade raw material underground by feeling the soil?” Baili Zongxue asked curiously. If Gu Ning could really do that, it would be amazing.

She knew the quality of soil varied, and some was suitable for planting, while some wasn’t, but she couldn’t tell the difference.

“Not really, but it helps,” said Gu Ning. In fact, she couldn’t make a judgment from doing that, and it was just an act.

“How about your magical senses?” Baili Zongxue asked.

“Not very likely. After all, my magical senses are too weak now, but we can’t know the result without trying. If I can sense air from the soil, it means there are many stones. If there are many stones, there could be raw jade materials. If there is no air at all, there should only be soil,” said Gu Ning. Actually, she didn’t believe a word she just said, but she couldn’t tell Baili Zongxue that she had a pair of Jade Eyes.

“Oh!” Baili Zongxue barely knew anything about it, so she believed whatever Gu Ning told her.

Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue started searching from 3 pm. After climbing over about twenty mountains in two hours, they found no mountains containing raw jade materials .

After searching for another hour, they still found nothing. At this time, it was already 6 pm. Therefore, they stopped for a rest, and ate some food before continuing to search for raw jade materials .

As soon as they finished eating, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue continued.

The sky became dark after they searched for a long time.

However, Gu Ning had good luck today. Although they had spent five hours walking around, they finally found a mountain with a lot of raw jade materials.
