Wu Guangjiang and Lan's mother express outrage over a dealership scamming a farmer. Jiang Chen reveals he owns shares in Speed, a company that guarantees customer satisfaction. He then brings Wu Guangjiang and Lan's mother to the Heavenly Craft Exhibition, where they are amazed by the intricate and priceless jewelry, including a jade radish and a statue of Lord Guan. Wu Guangjiang is particularly intrigued by the Lord Guan statue, but Martial Saint points out its value is likely beyond his reach.

In fact, changing the name is quite fitting.

For example, changing "Heavenly Craft" to "Heavenly Palace."

Radishes, Guan Gong, Su Shi with bamboo staff and straw sandals, the lion’s head gazing at the starry sky... Every piece accomplishes the silent education of Mr. and Mrs. Wu from the Bashu countryside on societal class through its unique craftsmanship.

It’s no exaggeration to say that most of the works here are more exquisite than the artifacts in museums, with the only thing missing perhaps being the endorsement of time.

"Where’s the Gold Award?"

Boss Jiang’s arrangements always strike a chord, and Wu Guangjiang, feasting his eyes and mind, gradually grows impatient.

"These ’ordinary’ works are at such a level, how spectacular must the award-winning piece be?"

Guided by the onsite staff, Jiang Chen and his group came to the bustling Gold Award booth, glimpsing this year’s most dazzling masterpiece of the Heavenly Craft Exhibition amidst the crowd.

"Is that... a carp?"

With many spectators, Wu Guangjiang couldn’t get close to see clearly and could only squint and count.

"One, two, three..."

"Stop counting, there are nine in total."

The Martial Saint glanced at the annotation card beside them, "It says, Nine Carp Painting."

Although named ’painting,’ it could actually be considered a Jade Pendant, since a jade pendant isn’t this big, far exceeding an adult’s palm.

The base is crafted from peaceful yellow jade, with the jade pendant standing upon it, the sculptor skillfully carving nine koi, using green to create lake water; the texture is smooth and delicate, the color deep and rich. The nine koi vary in form, vivid and lively, leaping out of the water, splashing waves, or leisurely swimming in the waters, creating layers of ripples, with a sense of vitality and freedom rushing forth.

Wu Guangjiang rubbed his chin and nodded.

"Although it doesn’t use gold, so the color isn’t very bright, it’s quite nice."

"You’re giving an evaluation now?"

The Martial Saint sneered, "What does gold mean here? It’s the least valuable material, haven’t you heard of ’gold has a price, jade is priceless’?"

Aesthetic is subjective.

But the price of gold is genuine.

Not everyone might consider this Nine Carp Painting the most perfect piece at the venue, but it certainly must be the most valuable.

That is beyond doubt.

The Heavenly Craft Exhibition attracts plenty of wealthy visitors; many aren’t here just to browse but to spend.

Before the Nine Carp Painting, one can see individuals already attempting to contact the artist.

Creating a Gold Award piece at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition is an honor, while purchasing such a piece is equally impressive!

Compared to the radish, Guan Gong, lion’s head, etc. seen before, the meaning of this Nine Carp Painting is undoubtedly more versatile, luxurious yet restrained, placed in the home, creating deep cultural connotations out of thin air.

"What does Auntie think?"

Boss Jiang asked Lan’s mother directly.

This piece in terms of its attributes is undoubtedly more likely to appeal to females, especially older women.

"It’s too expensive..."

Lan’s mother reflexively refused and instinctively stepped back.

Wu Guangjiang did not jump out and boast.

He’s a rural man, sure, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t recognize worth; people say it’s worth a kingdom, but here, it’s really "a kingdom upon a kingdom." Jokes aside, even the hard-to-recognize radish earlier probably has astronomical value, not to mention this Gold Award piece.

It’s far more than just being "expensive."

"The price should definitely multiply with the award, right?"

The Martial Saint muttered, contemplating that this Nine Carp Painting likely deserves a place in his sister’s museum.

Rarity enhances value.

If the Heavenly Craft Exhibition is held annually, the cumulative Gold Award pieces are quite few.

"Hey, brother."

The Martial Saint nudged Jiang Chen’s arm secretively, speaking softly, "Why not take it down and give it to my sister?"

The team sent to deliver gifts to the parents was sent away; for some reason, the older sister hasn’t arrived yet. But before the storm, there’s always a period of calm.

And what’s the most effective and direct way to please a woman?

Naturally, it’s gifting.

Whether he can afford it isn’t within the Martial Saint’s consideration.

His mother and Wu Guangjiang might not know Brother Jiang Chen’s capabilities, but he does!

He personally accompanied Brother Jiang Chen in delivering the national treasure Twelve Beast Heads to his sister’s museum, witnessing the whole process.

"Why?"

Boss Jiang calmly met the Martial Saint’s gaze, a concise counterquestion leaving the Martial Saint a bit at a loss.

What’s meant by unity of knowledge and action.

This is unity of knowledge and action.

Can’t educate the Wus about their daughter’s upbringing on the car but then kneel before them.

"Love is priceless. The meaning of wealth is to create emotional value, so Auntie doesn’t need to worry about the price."

Boss Jiang turned to speak with Lan’s mother again.

Wu Guangjiang thought he was showing off, but admitted that the other did so naturally, like the Nine Carp Painting itself.

It’s the sensory disparity caused by the vast difference in social classes.

Setting a small goal, like earning one billion.

For the general populace, it’s highly unrealistic.

But for some, it’s just straightforward sincerity.
