Of course, Jiang Jingsheng is also an old fox. It is not impossible that he would choose to reuse his grandson after realizing Jiang Jun's strength. Even so, he would not dare to let Jiang Jun face off against the Qin family in matters of confrontation. The Jiang family does not have anyone with Jiang Jun's level of strength, making the Qin family not a significant threat.
Bringing Jiang Jun to work for the Qin family has another effect: it creates discord between the Jiang family and other forces. For example, during the process of integrating the national clothing market, the Wan family received full support from the Jiang family, while the only opponent, Yang Zhao, was treated as a sacrificial pawn.
Jiang Jun is Yang Zhao's son. With just a little assistance, Jiang Jun has completely disrupted the cooperation between the Jiang family and the Wan family. There should be more interesting developments between the Jiang family and the Wan family moving forward. Jiang Jun will definitely seek revenge against the Wan family, and the Wan family will see Jiang Jun as part of the Jiang family. In this way... heh heh, I, the Qin family, will reap the benefits!
"Yes, Old Qin, how could I be familiar with my grandson?"
Old Qin was pondering when another voice asked. This time it was Hu Yina.
"This grandson of yours is remarkable and very talented!" Old Qin seemed to answer off-topic.
"Very talented?" Jiang Jingsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He took a wooden box from his wife and handed it to Old Qin. "This empty wooden box is a birthday gift from my talented grandson, Jiang Jun! Old Qin, please evaluate his excellent performance!"
Everyone turned to look at Old Qin, thinking that he had just come in to speak up for Jiang Jun. Let's see how you explain this now!
Old Qin was also taken aback; how could a birthday gift be an empty wooden box? That would surely offend the elders' taboos!
However, Old Qin believed that there must be a reason for Jiang Jun to give such a thing. He dared not speak hastily and decided to take a closer look at the wooden box first.
It was a golden-yellow wooden box. Hmm, it felt nice! The surface was delicate; Old Qin touched it and found it very smooth with a warm and jade-like texture.
Old Qin examined it closely and brought it to his nose to smell it. Hmm, fragrant! A smile appeared on his face.
"Jiang Lao, congratulations! This wooden box is made of Agarwood; it's considered an extraordinary treasure!"
Agarwood? An extraordinary treasure? Did I hear that right? Everyone's mouths dropped open in disbelief!
Agarwood is one of the most precious woods in the world; it has solid wood and beautiful patterns. Many people know this, but very few have actually seen it.
"Agarwood? Old Qin, you can't be mistaken!" Jiang Jingsheng also found it hard to believe.
"Look!" Old Qin leaned closer to Jiang Jingsheng and pointed at the wooden box. "The grain on this surface is dense; the ink lines are black and clear, resembling crab claws—though irregular, they are certainly not chaotic. This is a unique pattern of Agarwood. Doesn't this flowing pattern give a sense of beauty in motion?"
Jiang Jingsheng looked closely and indeed saw that it was so; he had been too angry earlier to pay attention!
"And now, touch it! See how it feels?"
Jiang Jingsheng took the wooden box and began to feel it carefully!
"It feels great—very smooth and warm!" Jiang Jingsheng used "very" three times to describe this sensation!
"Yes, Agarwood has an extremely fine texture, which makes its surface very smooth. At the same time, Agarwood has a high oil content of about 27%, which is why it feels so warm!"
Jiang Jingsheng nodded in agreement.
"Smell it again!"
Jiang Jingsheng took a sniff, and indeed, it smelled wonderful!
"The agarwood has a scent of 'xiangxiang,' rich and serene; over time, this fragrance will gradually fade. Unless the surface is scraped, the scent will emerge anew. This wooden box has endured for over a hundred years and still carries its fragrance. What does that indicate? It means the box is made from rare, ancient wood. Only in such cases can the aroma be so rich and enduring."
Jiang Jingsheng nodded again, revealing his delight. "This wooden box is truly a treasure made from thousand-year-old agarwood!"
What? A real treasure? Upon hearing Old Master Jiang's affirmation, everyone was in an uproar! Jiang Jun had truly struck gold—where had he found such a gem?
Jiang Guangming felt despair; how could the old man handle this kid now?
"Xiao Jun, I was wrong about you! Where did you get this treasure?" Jiang Jingsheng, despite knowing he had been proven wrong, had to apologize to Jiang Jun while also wondering where he had acquired such a valuable item.
Yes, how did he get it? Everyone was eager to know.
Old Qin was also curious and looked at Jiang Jun.
"I bought it," Jiang Jun replied simply and nonchalantly.
Bought it? How much did that cost?
"Oh, where did you buy it? How much did you spend?" This time it was Old Qin asking for everyone.
"I got it from Ningzhou Noble Gift Shop. It cost 1.88 million yuan!"
1.88 million yuan? My goodness! Aside from Old Qin and Old Master Jiang, everyone gasped in shock! But upon reflection, since it was an extraordinary treasure, that price seemed reasonable.
Jiang Guangming and the old man's daughter and son-in-law were left speechless! Compared to the 1.88 million yuan gift, those gifts worth just a few thousand yuan—like ginseng or jade necklaces—seemed trivial!
"Jiang Jun, I don't believe you bought it; where did you get so much money? You must have just stumbled upon it at a street stall!" spoke Jiang Jingsheng's eldest son-in-law. Jiang Jun should refer to him as Uncle. As the eldest son-in-law, he was expected to give the most valuable gifts, but now comparing with Jiang Jun's gift made his look insignificant. Naturally, he found it hard to believe. Moreover, like most others, he thought Jiang Jun must be quite poor and couldn't possibly afford such an amount!
"Yeah, where did you get all that money?" Others also hoped that Jiang Jun was merely lucky and didn't possess the means or intention to purchase such a treasure!
Jiang Jun chuckled coldly in his heart but remained silent. He deliberately took his time pulling out a receipt from his pocket.
"Grandpa, Grandma, take a look at this receipt!"
Hu Yina took it over; indeed, it was a receipt from Ningzhou Noble Gift Shop. The amount on it was 1.88 million yuan, with "wooden box" listed in the purchased items section. She raised the receipt high for everyone to see.
"This is the receipt for the wooden box—1.88 million yuan; it's correct!"
What? He really bought such an expensive gift! This proved that Jiang Jun not only had such intentions but also possessed the means! The key question remained: where did his wealth come from?
"Jiang Jun, how did you come into so much money?" This time it was the son-in-law who shouted. This Jiang Jun, whom everyone looked down upon, actually bought such an expensive gift for the old man, which was truly hard to believe; his money might not have come from a legitimate source.
Jiang Jingsheng and his wife Hu Yina also turned to look at Jiang Jun.
"I'll answer that question!" The old man said. "Not long ago, I transferred my Jiahua Clothing Company to Jiang Jun!" It was naturally Old Qin who spoke.
