Leaving the pawnshop was indeed a good opportunity for you.
I didn't even let you pay for that jade eye.
Jade eye?
Right. Those robbers not only hurt you that time,
they also destroyed the jade eye displayed on our glass counter.
That was a jade eye from the Qin Dynasty Era.
As they say, after extreme misfortunes is successive good fortunes.
If those troublesome events didn't happen,
how could you have this good luck now? Right?
No, not good luck, but ability.
What's that again? The heaven bestows great duties on the capable ones.
- You must first...what's that again? - You must first leave the pawnshop business.
Manager Liu, Uncle De,
you two just chat about your official matters first. I'll just go there to make a phone call.
Uncle De, I still have one thing to ask your help with.
- Hello. - Hello, Feifei.
Was there a jade eye that got shattered during the night of the pawnshop robbery?
Right.
There was indeed a jade eye that got destroyed that time.
Why are you asking this?
Can I see it?
As the victim, why do you want to look at it?
I work in the antique jade business.
Maybe, I can help you with solving the case and provide you with some clues.
Cut it out. I've already let Grandfather Gu check it.
He wasn't able to see anything special about it, so what could you see?
Grandfather Gu has seen it?
He said that it probably was a pair.
But based on the quality, it's a bit substandard.
Feifei,
can I see it?
I'll give a try and submit a report.
However, I can't make a guarantee.
Okay. Thanks.
What thanks? The important thing is you should do your best to help me solve this case.
A pair of jade eyes.
Xiao Rui, you are now considered a boy wonder.
You've become wealthy. You now need a bulldozer when you buy objects, right?
How many good stuff have you bought? Did you?
Just some small items. It's rare that you're in the mood today,
so I'm asking you to go to my house and take a look around.
I'm also thinking about that. I want to take a look.
Oh, right, don't put too much importance on what that Manager Liu said earlier.
We all know that you tried to protect the antiques in that store that night of the robbery,
that's why, you got hurt.
But that Manager Liu didn't even discern right from wrong and just fired you.
Now, good. You have established your own business form scratch.
You've opened Ruiyun Room and became its boss.
Don't know if Manager Liu can sleep well tonight.
It's fine.
If now because of the ¥2,000 separation pay from Manager Liu back then,
I couldn't even afford that Sanhe Liu gourd.
I still have to show my gratitude to him.
Okay. You said it well.
Xiao Rui, you've suddenly matured.
You taught me well.
Capable people tend use their surrounding to stay aloof from worldly matters, but the most capable ones are able to hide within the temptations of a city.
Uncle De, you are a legend in the antique world.
I've always wanted to get a chance to visit you.
Never thought that I'll bump into you here in Xiao Rui's house.
It's really an honor.
No such thing.
You're being too courteous.
I'm just a decaying old man.
Uncle De, you're being too humble.
The phoenix headdress of a Tang Dynasty royalty,
a kassaya (Buddhist monk clothing) found in a Mongolian tomb,
and the Five Horses Painting being kept in a museum,
their restoration has been a legend in the antique world.
I've always felt puzzled
why Xiao Rui has such great eyesight.
So, he's your disciple.
No. No.
Xiao Rui is naturally smart and very hardworking.
It's expected for him to have his achievements now. I dare not claim any credit for it.
Xiao Rui, that...
For Mr. Qin to especially visit you today, you two must have some important business to discuss.
I won't disturb you two anymore.
Don't.
Uncle De, it's not something very important.
I just came today to visit Xiao Rui.
I've always wanted to meet you.
If you are free, let me treat you to dinner tonight.
Not anymore. You two just talk about your business.
Let's just gather next time when everyone has a free time.
I'll go back now.
Okay then. I'll have my car take you home.
Not anymore. I'm used to wandering around by myself.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Uncle De, goodbye.
Before, I've heard a lot of antique businessmen mention him.
It's such a pity that Uncle De is old and has retired.
Or else, how many precious antiques
can he still restore?
But looking at him today, he seems still very healthy.
Mr. Qin, please sit down.
Actually, there were a lot of people these past years asking Uncle De to come out from retirement.
But Uncle De said that restoring antiques,
restoring ancient curio is an extremely exhausting and time consuming thing.
He's afraid that with his age,
if his hand just trembles a little, it might damage a lot of items.
Hence, he now only focuses all his energy to things that he loves the most.
What about you?
Do you like that jade business?
I...
I especially came to visit you for two reasons. One is to thank you.
Second is for I cherish talents.
You have a unique kind of judgment. You never failed in stone gambling.
And you are a very upright, kind, and modest person.
You have helped our Qin family this time.
I want to give you a gift.
Xuanbing is my friend.
Hence, I only did something that I should do.
The gift I'm talking about is not an ordinary vulgar item.
I want to invite you come to Kiev with me.
Stone gambling is after all, just a small type of business.
If you want to do big,
you must have a huge amount of business resources.
I want to introduce to you
all my connections in Ukraine.
But I don't plan to do a huge business.
This is in preparation for the Myanmar Precious Stones Emporium.
The Myanmar Precious Stones Emporium
is of higher standard than the previous
Pingzhou Emporium
You can count with your fingers the number of clients joining it.
I want to invite you to be our jade consultant.
Our company will pay you 10% of the profit we'll obtain from the emporium
to show our sincerity.
Boss Qin, I'm just an owner of small curio shop.
I interact with porcelains and bronze wares every day.
It was just accidental that I got involved in the jade world.
Hence, I feel that I'm not qualified nor capable to be your consultant.
But, I still thank you for your invitation and praises.
Thank you.
It's fine.
Before Xuanbing left Beijing, she actually advised me
that even if I give you 50% shares in the profit, you also would refuse it.
Because you only love the curios and history.
You're not that interested in earning money.
Xuanbing has left Beijing? How come she didn't tell me?
She returned to Kiev.
She has to handle some business over there. Also,
she has to prepare for the Myanmar Emporium.
Xuanbing has always been a tough girl.
She was afraid that you'll blame yourself if she tell you this.
She won't force you to do things you don't want.
It's because I'm so thirsty for talents that I suddenly invited you like this.
No rush. Rest for a while and think about it.
I hope that we still will have a chance to see each other again.
Mr. Qin!
When will you be leaving?
- It's agreed then. - Sure.
Let's settle it like this then.
Let's just keep in touch.
- Okay. - Okay then. I still have to attend to some things. Let's just see each other next time.
- Be careful on your way then. - Okay. - Bye.
- A client. - A client?
Is there a client like that? Throughout your walk, he was watching...watching that part!
When talking to you, he even blew on the back of your ear.
Can't he like me? He even asked me out for a meal.
I even invite you for dinner everyday.
- What you're doing is pestering. - Pestering?
I don't understand what pestering means. I just know that it's hard to make a reservation in that restaurant.
I reserved it a week ago, because Feifei said that you love the steak there.
You two have went their thrice, and in twice of that, you kept praising their steak.
But there was once, because that restaurant is out of steak,
you got so mad that you ate 6 scoops of ice cream.
- Is there a point in what you're doing? - There is.
You are just shameless.
Why must I have such a thing? As long as I like someone,
it's enough that you're happy.
This restaurant has steak delivery twice a day. If we go now,
we'll be able to catch the second delivery. How about we go now?
Let's go.

I heard from Feifei that you love that seat.
But really weird. There are so few people today.
That's right. How come there are so few people?
Such grand move. You even booked the whole place?
Our world can't accommodate other things.
Just this one chance. Give me all the tricks you have.
For me, love and living are the same. When there's a chance,
then there's hope.
I'm allergic to fresh flowers. You didn't forget that, right?
Who buys fresh flowers? So corny.
Forget any singing or violin. I hate Western music.
What a coincidence! I also hate Western music.
Let's just eat. Why listen to any music?
