My Life Simulator

Tian Huangshi ornamental jade carving was officially completed.

During the process of carving this jade article, there was an unexpected accident such as a crack, but Lu Li handled the crack perfectly with his superb craftsmanship.

After this time, President Jiang of the Arts and Crafts Company and others were even more impressed and admired by Lu Li's skills.

Manager Wu also treated Lu Li as an uncle to serve him. No need to ask Lu Li's requirements in life or work, Manager Wu has already prepared them.

For the next month, Lu Li continued to create jade carvings.

In the jade warehouse of the arts and crafts company, there are a lot of jades, and there are hundreds of precious jades.

Lu Li inspected each piece of jade once, and then designed a corresponding jade carving model.

It is naturally impossible to complete more than 100 jade carvings in one month. Lu Li selected a dozen or so representative jade stones to create jade carvings.

Jadeite, mutton fat jade, Tianhuang stone, chicken blood stone, Qingtian jade, Balin stone, Dushan stone... All kinds of famous jade carving stones, each of which has a jade carving creation.

Some are jade carving ornaments, some are jade carving ornaments, some are jade carving writing and play, and there are various types.

In these jade carvings, the shapes are also different, there are figures, there are landscapes, there are flowers and birds, and there are utensils.

By the end of one month, Lu Li had completed fifteen beautiful jade carvings of various shapes.

...

Finished product in the vault.

Mr. Jiang and Manager Wu, looking at the exquisite jade carvings in the showcase, their eyes were full of surprises, and the smiles on their faces could not be concealed.

Fifteen jade carvings a month!

Each piece is exquisite and unique, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece!

With such exquisite skills and such high output, Lu Li...is a treasure!

"Little Junior Brother, your craftsmanship... is absolutely amazing!"

President Jiang's face was full of admiration, "Exquisitely beautiful, amazing skills. It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Seeing these exquisite works, President Jiang was full of praise for Lu Li.

No wonder he was happy. I originally planned to enter the jewelry and jade industry, but I made a mistake in making a decision. The jade I bought with a lot of money can only be piled up in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

Now, these more than ten jade carvings made by Lu Li have made these jades of great economic value.

Once Lu Li became famous in the jade carving industry, the value of these works will inevitably skyrocket.

My little junior brother is simply my lucky star!

President Jiang looked at Lu Li with countless joys.

"Senior brother has won the prize!"

Lu Li smiled, "I have to thank my senior brother for providing me with so many good materials! After completing these jade carvings, I also gained a lot."

This is not true at all. If it weren't for the wealthy Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company, Lu Li's desire to carve such a precious jade by himself would be a dream.

These very representative jade materials can be carved and studied by hand, which is also a huge improvement for Lu Li, which makes up for the shortcomings that he has never seen, touched, or carved these high-end materials.

After these "hands training", Lu Li has mastered the carving feel of these high-grade jade, which is a rare experience.

"Little Junior Brother, after participating in the Jade Carving Craft Competition, I don't know... what are your plans?"

President Jiang turned to look at Lu Li, with some hope in his eyes.

"Intend?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "I must finish my studies first! I'm going to apply for an early graduation and study as a graduate student of Mr. Han in the second half of the year."

"I didn't say that."

President Jiang smiled, "Young junior brother's studies are naturally not a problem. I mean..."

Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang pointed to the rough stone vault next door, "Little Junior Brother, after the jade carving competition, are you interested in continuing to cooperate with us in jade carving?"

"Is this..."

Lu Li pondered for a while, then nodded with a smile, "It's no problem to continue the cooperation. However, it is impossible for me to spend all my time on jade carving creation, and it is impossible to carve jade every day like this."

"Haha! Of course! Of course!"

Mr. Jiang laughed, "Little Junior Brother, you are unique in the entire jade carving industry who have made jade carvings for more than ten years in a month. You only need to make one jade carving work in a month. How about ?"

"That's fine!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

"it is good!"

President Jiang's face was full of joy, "We will discuss the contract after the younger brother has participated in the jade carving competition."

Lu Li also understood the meaning of these words.

Sign the contract after the jade carving competition. If Lu Li shines in the jade carving competition and becomes famous in one fell swoop, the treatment will naturally be different.

...

After verbally agreeing to continue cooperation with President Jiang, Lu Li began to prepare for the competition.

The registration procedures have been completed ahead of time, and the next trip to Yunnan Province for the competition, Manager Wu has also done it properly, and there is no need for Lu Li to worry about it.

At the beginning of April, Lu Li's team officially set off.

In addition to Lu Li, the jade carving craftsman, Manager Wu is in charge of chores, the financial staff handles the money, and the security personnel are responsible for protection.

A group of six people took a flight from Beijing to Ruili, Yunnan Province.

Ruili, Yunnan Province, is one of the four major jewelry and jade markets in China and the largest jade trading market in the world.

This time, the National Arts and Crafts Association and the National Jewelry and Jade Association held a grand jade carving craft competition in Ruili, Yunnan Province, which can be regarded as a grand event in the jewelry and jade industry.

"Mr. Lu, the selection of materials for this jade carving competition can basically be determined to be jade."

On the plane, Manager Wu sat beside Lu Li and talked with Lu Li.

"The jade carving competition held in Yunnan Province must have used jadeite."

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

Yunnan Province hosts a jade carving competition, and it is quite normal to use jadeite for the selection of materials. Because the most famous jade in Yunnan Province is jadeite.

"Mr. Lu, I heard..."

Manager Wu said to Lu Li again, "I heard that there are four major schools of jade carving, the Beijing school in Beijing, the Shanghai school in Shanghai, the Nan school in Nanyang, and the Yang school in Yangzhou. You... should be the Beijing school, right?"

"Ha ha!"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Me? No way! No way!"

"Uh……"

Manager Wu was stunned for a while, "Mr. Lu is joking. You are Han Lao's student, you must be a Beijing school!"

"If you say that, it really counts."

Lu Li smiled, "My jade carving style focuses on modeling and knife workmanship. It is exquisite and delicate, and the colors are gorgeous. It does have a bit of the imperial art style of the Beijing school."

"Mr. Lu, that..."

"Old Wu, I'm not nervous, why are you so nervous?"

Seeing that Manager Wu was always talking to him, Lu Li shook his head with a smile, "A competition like this is all about participation!"

Manager Wu was speechless for a while.

Of course you are not nervous! You are still under 20 years old, this is your first time to participate in the jade carving competition, even if you can't become famous in one fell swoop, you can wait until the next time.

I can't do it!

If I can't get results this time, I won't be able to sit firmly in this seat! The competitive pressure is too great.

Soon after, the plane landed at Mangshi Airport in Yunnan Province.

After arriving at Mangshi Airport, there are still hundreds of kilometers away from Ruili. Manager Wu had already arranged the vehicle, and after getting off the plane, everyone immediately took the vehicle and rushed all the way to Ruili.

When he came to Ruili, Lu Li's eyes widened at the sight of the southern style in front of him.

It's early April, and the capital still wears down jackets, but here in Ruili, there are suspenders and miniskirts all over the street.

Spring is here... uh, ahem.

Teacher Zhao's explanation sounded inexplicably in Lu Li's mind. This must be the sequelae of my practice of pronunciation and intonation, and it has nothing to do with these cool-dressed girls.

"Boss, do you want to buy jade?"

"Laokeng rough jadeite. One hundred yuan a piece, hematemesis is on sale!"

"Glass species of imperial green jade, if you fake one, you will pay ten."

The car drove by on the streets of Ruili, and Lu Li clearly felt the fiery atmosphere of the Ruili Jade Market.

It's just... these "jade merchants" who are shouting and selling are a bit dark!

A hundred dollars a piece of Laokeng jade rough stone is the real rough stone, and the original stone is absolutely not fake!

Many friends who traveled to Yunnan Province, after returning, told everyone to show off what jade they bought. All you need to do is "hehe".

This is all a waste of money!

Thousands of dollars, also want to buy jade? It is good to be able to buy the stone skin covered with jadeite.

The car traveled through Ruili City, and soon came to a hotel near "Jie Gao Yucheng".

After checking in at the hotel, Manager Wu came to Lu Li's room.

"Mr. Lu, we are off today. We will participate in the opening ceremony tomorrow morning, go to the material yard to select materials in the afternoon, and the official competition the day after tomorrow."

Manager Wu explained the next itinerary to Lu Li, and then said, "Mr. Lu, do you want to go out for a walk? I'll make arrangements right away."

"also!"

This is the first time for Lu Li to come to Ruili, Yunnan Province, and he also wants to go out and see the scenery of the southern country.

"Do you want to go to tourist attractions? Cangshan, Erhai, Lijiang, do you want to see these places?"

Manager Wu hurriedly asked again.

"It's too far, and it's too late. If you want to go, you have to wait until after the game."

Lu Li waved his hand, "Just stroll around in Ruili! You don't need to drive, isn't there a Jade City nearby? Just go there and stroll around."

Manager Wu naturally has no opinion. It's just... When he went out, Manager Wu also called two security guards who were obviously from the military.

Go out with a bodyguard?

Lu Li was stunned for a moment. Have I reached the point where I have to bring a bodyguard when I go out?

"Prevent accidents."

Manager Wu saw the surprise in Lu Li's eyes, and quickly explained: "You can't have any accident. If you bump into and get hurt, it will be serious."

Well, for good reason.

Although Lu Li is very confident, with his skills, the possibility of accidents is very low, but he can only accept Manager Wu's kindness.

Lu Li walked out of the hotel with Manager Wu and two bodyguards.

When he just stepped out of the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Lu Li saw a crowd of people outside the hotel.

There are security guards maintaining order, and there are many reporters with cameras on their shoulders, looking like some big man is coming.

"Mr. Lu, have you seen that person?"

At this time, Manager Wu pointed to a well-dressed middle-aged man standing on the steps in front of the hotel, "That's President Cheng Sihan of the Shanghai Jewelry and Jade Association."

"Oh!"

Lu Li nodded, not caring at all. What does it have to do with me?

Continuing to move forward, Lu Li was ready to go out.

At this time, on the road at the entrance of the hotel, an extended courtesy car slowly approached.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing the car approaching, the people waiting at the door hurriedly surrounded it. The reporters swarmed forward one by one, cameras, cameras, all aimed at the door.

The door opened, and a bodyguard came out first. The bodyguard stood at the door of the car, reaching out to cover the upper edge of the car door, waiting for the big man in the car to get off.

Immediately, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a Tang suit with a clear face walked out of the car door.

At this moment, applause rang out, and countless flashes flickered. A camera was aimed at the man in Tang suit.

"Welcome to Master Zhang!"

President Cheng from Huhai greeted him with a smile on his face.

The reporters next to him also extended their microphones, wanting to interview Master Zhang.

"Master Zhang, what do you think of this jade carving competition?"

"Master Zhang, may I ask..."

A large group of reporters asked questions of Master Zhang at a high speed.

"Sorry, Master Zhang just got off the plane and needs to rest."

The bodyguards quickly stopped these reporters and protected Master Zhang all the way into the hotel.

"Welcome to Master Zhang!"

The manager and waiter of the hotel lined up to bow and salute Master Zhang.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li blinked, turned his head and asked Manager Wu, "This Master Zhang... what's the origin?"

"Uh? You... don't know Master Zhang?"

Manager Wu was full of surprise, and looked at Lu Li with incredible eyes, as if the French didn't know Napoleon, and the Americans didn't know Washington.

"Is it strange that I don't know him?"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "I just entered the jade carving industry!"

"Uh... too!"

Manager Wu just remembered that Lu Li used to be a sculpture, jade sculpture...a new project just developed?

"This Master Zhang, whose name is Zhang Yu, is a famous jade carving master in Shanghai and a representative of Shanghai-style jade carving."

Manager Wu looked at Master Zhang's disappearing figure with admiration in his eyes, "This is a master jade carving!"

"This Master Zhang...is he a judge?"

Lu Li nodded slightly. There is a master craftsman as the judge, and the quality of the judgement must be guaranteed.

"Not the judges."

Manager Wu sighed, "Master Zhang is here to participate!"

"what?"

Lu Li was stunned.

what's going on? A master craftsman, still participating in this kind of competition?

Don't the respected craft masters sit on the stage and rate the entries with a smile on their faces?

It's too much for the master to end the game in person, isn't it? In a college sports meeting, Bolt actually went on the field. How can this compare?

What are you kidding? In this jade carving competition, I actually have to compete with a master craftsman?

This jade carving competition is too strong!
