Jia Xi declined a few more times and realized that Wang Yi had no intention of relenting. Moreover, from the looks of it, Wang Yi did not seem to care much about money.

Thus, Jia Xi gritted his teeth and put the money away. Then, he said gratefully, “I thank you on behalf of my brothers!”

However, Wang Yi waved his hand and said indifferently, “You’re welcome. You deserve it!”

The money was really nothing to him. Besides, it was true. He really didn’t like to take advantage of others.

He instructed the other party to plant those strange flowers and herbs. That was not their job, but Wang Yi still had to pay them since they had already done it.

Jia Xi looked down and saw that there was stone powder scattered around the Green Jade Rock.

Since Wang Yi had given him too much money, Jia Xi, who was filled with gratitude and wanted to do something, immediately said, “Sir, this place is still a little dirty. I’ll help you clean it up later!”

Wang Yi also looked down and realized that there was indeed a layer of powder on the ground.

This must have been caused by his fingers when he was writing the sign.

Wang Yi also knew that Jia Xi was being kind. He chuckled and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you!”

Then, he walked into the villa.

At this moment, all the renovation workers had finished their work and gathered at the entrance of the villa.

Jia Xi looked around at everyone present and suddenly shouted excitedly, “Brothers, we’re rich!”

As he spoke, a large stack of money suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, he said, “Seeing that we worked so well, the owner of the villa rewarded us with 20,000 yuan!”

“Everyone has contributed to this money. Let’s split it evenly!”

“Zhao Daniu, this is yours!”

“Sun Ping’an, this is yours!”

As Jia Xi continued to distribute the money, the 20,000 yuan was quickly given out to everyone.

The renovation workers held the money, their faces filled with excitement and ecstasy.

They could not help but be happy. Each of them received more than a thousand yuan. That was equivalent to most of their monthly salary!

Everyone shouted excitedly, “Long live the owner!”

“Long live Manager Jia!”

Then, everyone looked at each other and laughed.

They also silently sighed that they had met a good manager.

When the owner gave an additional reward to the manager, whether or not it was given to the subordinates depended on the manager’s mood.

If it were any other manager, it was very likely that they would not share this money with them. Even if they did, they would probably only receive one or two hundred yuan each.

It was rare for someone like Jia Xi to be willing to split it equally with his subordinates.

After all, everyone liked money. No one hated having too much money.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Jia Xi was in a good mood. Then, he said, “Alright! Don’t take this money for nothing!”

“See those stone fragments on the ground? Clean these up before you go!”

After saying that, he pointed to the area around the Green Jade Rock sign and gestured for everyone to get to work.

One of the renovation workers stood up. His rough voice sounded very simple. “Manager Jia, just watch!”

After saying that, the group of workers walked over with their tools and chatted happily. It was obvious that they had yet to recover from their excitement!

“Eh! Why are these stone fragments stuck in the ground?”

“No! They’re not stuck in the ground. This thing is just heavy! Manager Jia, come and take a look!”

Jia Xi had clasped his hands behind his back and watched everyone work. He thought about how he had gotten an unexpected windfall today. Should he take his wife out for a romantic evening?

Even though they had been married for so many years, it had been a long time since the two of them had gone out for a meal together.

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of one of his workers. He stepped forward.

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, a renovation worker walked over with difficulty. He was holding a stone fragment the size of a grain of sand in his hand.

Looking at the sweaty, bulging veins on his body and his trembling hands, anyone who didn’t know better would think he was carrying a mountain. Jia Xi took the stone fragment and his pupils constricted.

How heavy!

This sand-sized stone fragment probably weighed nearly 500 kilograms.

Only the people of this world had been baptized by spiritual energy all year round. Thus, even ordinanr people who had not become maftial aftists had abnormally strong physiques.

If this was Wang Yi’s previous life, just this stone fragment would be enough to crush someone to death.

It wasn’t until Jia Xi took the stone fragment that the renovation worker started breathing heavily.

After a while, he said while still panting, “Manager Jia, I really can’t do this job!”

“The one in your hand is already the smallest one. It’s already so heavy. We can’t move the bigger ones at all.”

Jia Xi pinched the stone fragment in his hand, and his expression changed several times. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said with a solemn expression, “Stay here and watch first. Don’t touch the stone fragments on the ground. Don’t lose even a single stone fragment!”

With that, he took the stone fragment and left the entrance of the villa in a hurly.

Only the renovation workers were left. They looked at each other in confusion.

The Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce was a comprehensive Chamber of Commerce that mainly bought and sold martial alts resources, bought dire beast materials, and auctioned high-end martial arts resources.

In the reception room on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, two people were sitting opposite each other. An old man in a white appraiser’s uniform was speaking with a smile.

“Ah Xi, what can’t be explained over the phone that you have to come to me?”

Meanwhile, Jia Xi was sitting opposite the old man.

He had sensed that something was wrong the moment he had taken the stone fragment, although he did not recognize what material it was made of.

However, for such a small thing to weigh so much, it had to be something more.

Therefore, he thought of coming to appraise the stone fragment. Coincidentally, an appraiser from the Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce was an acquaintance of his.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Jia Xi placed the stone fragment on the table and said solemnly, “Second Grandpa, I have something that I need you to appraise!”

Then, just after the stone fragment was placed on the table, a series of unpleasant creaking sounds came from the guest table that was purely made of solid wood.

Upon seeing this, the old man picked up the stone fragment on the table.

Looking at the old man’s relaxed appearance, it was obvious that he was also a powerful martial artist.

The old man kept examining the stone fragment. He was no longer as relaxed as before. Every now and then, he would gasp.

After a while, the old man asked in shock, “Ah Xi, where did you get this?”

However, Jia Xi shook his head and asked in a low voice, “Second Grandpa, can you tell what this

Seeing that Jia Xi was unwilling to say anything, the old man did not probe further and directly said, “This little thing is not simple. If I’m not wrong, this should be a fragment from a Green Jade Rock!”.
