Scheming White lotus (22): Gu Juntian actually planned to use such a precious thing to make jewelry?

The hexagonal diamond cultivated by Gu Juntian was very small, less than one carat.

The small gem was being pinched by Gu Juntian, making the hearts of those researchers race.

Gu Juntian, you must hold on tight and not lose this precious hexagonal diamond!

People had previously found large hexagonal diamonds in meteorite craters, but the cultivated hexagonal diamonds were very small and even invisible to the naked eye.

And in their country, they couldn’t even cultivate hexagonal diamonds that were invisible to the naked eye!

This tiny hexagonal diamond, its significance was immense!

By the way, what was precious was not just the hexagonal diamond; Gu Juntian’s laboratory was also extremely valuable!

Gu’s diamond cultivation base must be protected!

Gu Juntian also needed to be protected!

“Mr. Gu, please be careful.”

“Mr. Gu, can we study this diamond?”

“Mr. Gu, how did you make this diamond?”

……

A group of people surrounded Gu Juntian, asking him questions non-stop.

During the process of cultivating hexagonal diamonds, Gu Juntian recorded detailed experimental data. He said to the people in front of him, “You can go to my laboratory and I’ll give you a brief introduction.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Juntian led these people into his laboratory. After briefly introducing the various instruments in the lab, he handed over the experimental data he had recorded to them.

“This instrument looks really good.”

“I don’t quite understand this step.”

“The instruments used by Gu’s jewelry company are even better than those in our research institute.”

“They specifically researched several alloys to improve the instrument!”

……

After Gu Juntian introduced the cultivation methods of hexagonal diamonds to these people, he brought his secretary and started discussing cooperation with the officials responsible for negotiations here.

The officials had already talked to the people at the Gu group’s diamond cultivation institution. During the conversation, they were very puzzled. 

These Gu group members didn’t even know what was going on; they had no idea how precious the things they had researched were!

You should know that one of the alloys they disdained, thinking it couldn’t be made into jewelry or a safe, was actually useful in the medical field.

This alloy was not new; it had existed for a long time, but their country had been unable to produce it until now, leaving them in a bind.

The country spent a lot of money to specifically establish a laboratory, but they couldn’t produce this alloy. Now, a jewelry company came to conduct research and unexpectedly saw the finished product…

Truly, after searching high and low, it came effortlessly.

This whole process gave people an incredible feeling.

Gu group was so amazing.

The Gu group members all acted that way, and the officials thought Gu Juntian also didn’t know how precious these things were. However, the truth was quite the opposite.

After Gu Juntian started talking to them, they quickly realized that Gu Juntian knew the value of what he had created.

It made sense; even if Gu Juntian didn’t know how to manage a company, he was personally trained by Old Man Gu, who had been navigating the business world for decades, so he naturally couldn’t be completely clueless.

The officials didn’t dare to underestimate him and seriously discussed cooperation with him.

This time, they fell silent.

Who exactly said Gu Juntian couldn’t manage a company? With Gu Juntian’s negotiation skills and ability to control the situation, he didn’t resemble a researcher at all; he seemed more like a seasoned veteran in the business world.

Gu Juntian was willing to provide the technology he had developed to the country free of charge. Of course, the country should also gave him some benefits, such as helping him expand and improve the Gu group’s diamond cultivation base, and giving the Gu group more opportunities.

“It’s getting late, let’s discuss the details tomorrow.” As they were talking, Gu Juntian suddenly spoke up.

The official person was a bit confused, it was only nine o’clock, was it really that late?

Encountering such an important matter, they just wanted to finish the discussion quickly!

Gu Juntian said, “It takes about fifty minutes to drive from here to my home. By the time I get back, it will be around ten o’clock in the evening. After handling some chores and taking a shower, it will be almost eleven. I go to bed by eleven at the latest.”

The official looked at Gu Juntian with a face full of admiration.

Young people with such a healthy lifestyle are rare these days.

Many people involved in research have quirks, and it seemed that Gu Juntian had them too.

“Mr. Gu, you should go back and rest. We’ll arrange for someone to escort you,” they politely suggested, planning to assign some people to protect Gu Juntian.

This was a treasure!

Gu Juntian also didn’t refuse: “Thank you.”

Not long after Gu Juntian left, the researchers studying the hexagonal diamonds came out of the laboratory.

“Is Mr. Gu still here? We have encountered some issues and would like to consult him.”

The official said, “Mr. Gu said he goes to bed at eleven o’clock at night, and he has already left.”

“Mr. Gu has a good routine, which is great. Going to bed at eleven at night is still a bit late, so let’s have him sleep before ten in the future; it’s better for his health.”

“Yes, let him go to bed early and wake up early, so his health can improve.”

“He must take good care of himself and live to be 120 years old.”

……

Gu Juntian’s approach to research was completely different from theirs, giving people a sense of being wildly imaginative, yet he still managed to succeed.

They hoped Gu Juntian could live for two hundred years and create more things!

These research bigwigs praised Gu Juntian’s work schedule and then stayed up late to study the materials left by Gu Juntian.

Taking care of your health is very important, but they couldn’t sleep!

The experimental records left by Gu Juntian, although they couldn’t understand much of it, still provided them with great inspiration, and they couldn’t stop.

Compared to Gu Juntian, they were still not disciplined enough.

These people admired Gu Juntian’s good habits and self-discipline, but they didn’t know that Gu Juntian was eager to go home mainly because he was afraid of worrying Zhou Qinghao.

Moreover, if he slept too late, he wouldn’t be able to take Zhou Qinghao for training tomorrow morning.

What if Zhou Qinghao slacked off and didn’t exercise?

Alright, Zhou Qinghao was a very hardworking person and wouldn’t slack off. Actually, he just wanted to spend time with Zhou Qinghao and give him the hexagonal diamond he just made today.

He had worked so hard, wasn’t it reasonable for him to take some time off to exercise with someone he liked?

Thinking this, Gu Juntian sent a message to Zhou Qinghao, saying that he had already set off and would be home around ten o’clock.

After coming out of the lab, he had already replied to Zhou Qinghao.

But seeing all the messages Zhou Qinghao sent him during the day, along with the many solutions he wrote for the Gu group’s current crisis, made him want to send Zhou Qinghao a few more messages as well.

Thinking this, Gu Juntian took a photo of the hexagonal diamond on his hand with his phone and showed it to Zhou Qinghao.

After chatting with Zhou Qinghao for a few minutes, Gu Juntian began to handle the company’s affairs.

Today, a lot happened online, but with the intervention of a certain country, everything had been resolved, and he didn’t need to do much.

While Gu Juntian was in the car, he briefly reviewed some documents, and by the time he got home, he had already finished all his work.

The car parked in the villa’s underground garage, and as Gu Juntian just got out of the car, he saw Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao was waiting for him in the garage.

“It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep yet?” Gu Juntian asked.

“If you don’t come back, I won’t feel at ease.” Zhou Qinghao’s eyes were very bright.

It was normal for Gu Juntian to be too busy with experiments to answer calls, but today, the Gu group’s diamond research base had been sealed off by the authorities.

Zhou Qinghao had a general understanding of what Gu Juntian was doing, knowing that Gu Juntian would be fine and might even gain a tremendous opportunity, but he was still a bit uneasy.

“I’ve already come back. You should go to bed early. I’ll wake you up for a run at 6:30 tomorrow morning,” Gu Juntian said to Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao looked at Gu Juntian speechlessly.

So many things had happened, how could Gu Juntian only be thinking about running?

Zhou Qinghao’s gaze fell on the small gem and couldn’t look away: “This gem is so beautiful and unique.”

“It’s very unique. This is the special type of diamond I mentioned to you before, the one I wanted to synthesize. The set of antique-style jewelry you designed will definitely look beautiful when inlaid with this kind of diamond,” Gu Juntian said.

“This kind of diamond is indeed very suitable for setting in antique jewelry,” Zhou Qinghao said while holding the small gem.

“This gem absorbs light energy and then glows in the dark, and it is harmless to the human body…” Gu Juntian introduced the hexagonal diamond he had researched to Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao asked, “What is this diamond called?”

Gu Juntian said, “It’s called the Hexagonal Diamond. Alright, you should go to sleep now.”

While Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao were talking, they had already reached the third floor. He pushed Zhou Qinghao into his room and then went back to his own room to sleep.

The more Zhou Qinghao looked at the diamond in his hand, the more he liked it, so he took out his phone and searched for hexagonal diamonds.

This search, Zhou Qinghao fell silent.

The hexagonal diamond in his hand suddenly felt a bit hot.

At the same time, in the Gu group’s diamond cultivation base, those research big shots remembered something: “What about the hexagonal diamond that Mr. Gu made?”

“Yeah, what about that diamond?”

“Did Mr. Gu take the diamond?”

“It should be, such a precious item, Mr. Gu will definitely take good care of it. By tomorrow, he should have it back.”

“Let’s continue our research.”

……

These people chatted while continuing to study the materials left by Gu Juntian.

Tonight, they were too restless to sleep.

Those who couldn’t sleep weren’t just them.

Those people who targeted the Gu group before couldn’t sleep today.

Gu group probably had connections, which was why the government’s response to the hacking incident involving Gu was astonishingly swift.

They all got visited by the police.

Chu Zhan was lucky; he didn’t get involved in this matter and thus wasn’t implicated. However, after learning about the situation of those who caused trouble for the Gu group, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

The energy that Gu possesses was much greater than he imagined.

Actually, today, seeing the Gu group being attacked, Chu Zhan also wanted to step in.

After learning that officials went to the diamond cultivation base, he wanted to post news online such as “Gu’s Diamond Cultivation Base Suspected of Illegal Activities, Under Official Investigation.”

But before he could make a move, he realized something was off.

Those people didn’t seem like they were going to the Gu group diamond cultivation base to cause trouble. Later on, even more heavyweight figures specifically went there.

Fortunately, he didn’t take action!

Chu Zhan broke out in a cold sweat, completely baffled at the same time.

Even if Gu had improved the diamond cultivation method, the authorities didn’t need to take it so seriously, did they? They even sent the military over!

What happened to the Gu group?

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was the next day.

Gu Juntian got up early in the morning and called Zhou Qinghao to go for a run.

When Zhou Qinghao was running, he was lifting weights beside him.

After playing for a while, Gu Juntian noticed something—Zhou Qinghao was looking at him a lot today!

Was it because he looked really handsome today?

He didn’t know if Zhou Qinghao would suddenly run over and kiss him after running for half an hour.

He was quite looking forward to it.

Gu Juntian was just thinking about this when he heard Zhou Qing Hao ask, “Gu Juntian, the one you gave me yesterday, is it really a hexagonal diamond?”

Gu Juntian said, “Of course.”

Zhou Qinghao took a deep breath.

He always knew that Gu Juntian was very impressive, but he really didn’t expect Gu Juntian to be this impressive!

Suddenly jumping off the treadmill, Zhou Qinghao rushed towards Gu Juntian and hugged him again: “Gu Juntian, I want to kiss you!”

Zhou Qinghao’s face was within reach, and Gu Juntian went in for a kiss.

Zhou Qinghao was really something; they were lovers, if he wanted to kiss, just do it, why ask?

Purely a waste of time.

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao kissed for a long time, then he supervised Zhou Qinghao to finish the remaining distance. Only then did he go to the Gu Diamond Cultivation Base, satisfied, to continue discussing cooperation with the officials.

When Gu Juntian arrived at the training base, he was beaming and walked with a spring in his step, clearly having had a good rest last night.

But here at the diamond cultivation base, many people have dark circles under their eyes, clearly showing they haven’t rested well.

When Yu Zixing saw Gu Juntian, he looked as if he had seen a savior.

Those old-timers in the research field, yesterday they dragged them to ask all sorts of questions until late into the night, and when they were done asking, they didn’t go back to sleep but instead ran to their dorms to sleep!

Those seniors slept in the dormitory beds, while the people protecting them slept on the floor. Yesterday, their dormitory was packed with people, and they couldn’t sleep at all.

“There’s nothing for you to do today, so go get some more sleep.” Gu Juntian knew the situation of Yu Zixing and the others, so he simply let them rest.

After finishing, he walked towards the person who had come to negotiate with him, smiling.

Next, it was his stage.

Gu Juntian had already thought about what conditions to propose to the officials, but before he could speak, the other party asked, “Mr. Gu, where is the hexagonal diamond you cultivated yesterday? Everyone wants to see it. Old Zhou flew in last night just to see it.”

Gu Juntian fell silent for a moment, then said, “They must be even more curious about how these hexagonal diamonds are cultivated. How about this, I’ll take them to see how hexagonal diamonds are cultivated.”

That diamond, Zhou Qinghao wanted to return it to him this morning, but he didn’t accept it.

The first hexagonal diamond he made was originally meant to be given to Zhou Qinghao.

So if others want to research, keep cultivating it.

Gu Juntian took those people to the laboratory to cultivate the hexagonal diamonds. After he finished all the preparatory work and delegated the remaining tasks, he finally had the time to negotiate properly.

In this negotiation, he had the advantage of time, place, and people, making it really easy to talk.

The news online about Gu group giving fake diamonds had long been completely clarified.

And this commotion had made some people who originally didn’t know about this matter aware of it. If nothing unexpected happened, in the coming time, the sales of gold jewelry in Old Town Gold would increase again.

Those who supported the Gu group were inevitably delighted to see this situation. As for those who targeted the Gu group… they now dared not speak up, fearing that someone might come knocking on their door.

It was at this moment that the authorities released an announcement stating that Gu had developed a brand new diamond cultivation method, significantly speeding up the diamond cultivation process.

“It turns out they developed a new diamond cultivation method. No wonder the Gu group can give away so many diamonds!”

“So the diamond that Gu gave is 100% real.”

“Did the Gu group collaborate with the country?”

“Definitely collaborated, that’s why the Gu group was targeted yesterday and the issue was resolved so quickly!”

……

While people online were talking about this matter, some mentioned that officials went to Gu’s diamond cultivation facility for research yesterday.

“Here’s an insider tip. It is said that because the Gu group has given away so many diamonds, the authorities found it unbelievable and specially sent someone to check the situation at the Gu group. When they checked, they were stunned! The reason the Gu group could give away so many diamonds is that they improved the diamond cultivation method! The country has been researching it for so long without success, but a jewelry company like the Gu group actually improved it. I heard that the country has already decided to cooperate with the Gu group.”

“Is that so?”

“Official: What’s going on with your jewelry company? You’re even doing scientific research?”

“Country: It seems the jewelry industry also needs a thorough inspection.”

“After the comprehensive assessments in the industrial and agricultural sectors, the jewelry industry will also undergo a thorough assessment!”

……

It was at this time that the jewelry brand Holy Emperor under the Gu group took the opportunity to launch various diamond jewelry, with the flagship being the Brilliant Series.

The Brilliant Series included necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, studs, and more, with many pieces also available in men’s styles.

These diamond jewelry pieces were very beautiful, sparkling like the Milky Way. Although they were not cheap, they werediamond jewelry!

“I’ve always known about Old Town Gold; there’s a store near my house. But this brand, Holy Emperor, is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“Besides the Old Town Gold under the Gu group, there was actually a Holy Emperor!”

“Holy Emperor’s jewelry is so beautiful!”

“The Brilliant series has such a strong sense of design, I really want to buy it like crazy!”

“There is a Holy Emperor counter at the mall near my home. I’ve bought their products before, and I’m already on my way there now.”

……

Gu Juntian started planning early, and he had already prepared the promotional plan for the Holy Emperor well in advance.

At this moment, the company’s staff began the promotion according to the plan he had devised.

For a time, news about the Old Town Gold gold and the Holy Emperor was everywhere online.

The brand “Holy Emperor” wasn’t well-known before, but now, thanks to Gu’s massive traffic, it had suddenly become popular.

Evening, Gu’s Diamond Cultivation Base.

In front of many witnesses, the second hexagonal diamond was cultivated.

Everyone didn’t witness the cultivation of the first hexagonal diamond, but this one was born under their witness.

They all looked at it, touched it, and even conducted various experiments with it.

This was indeed hexagonal diamond; its hardness surpasses that of regular diamonds.

This thing could be applied in many areas.

If they could use this kind of diamond in some of the equipment at their research institute…

In an instant, everyone came up with many uses for the hexagonal diamond and even started fighting over its ownership.

Gu Juntian said, “This hexagonal diamond is mine.”

The crowd thought for a moment and felt that Gu Juntian was absolutely right.

This hexagonal diamond was indeed cultivated by the Gu group, and it truly belonged to Gu Juntian.

They shouldn’t have fought over this diamond before.

“Yes, this hexagonal diamond belongs to you, Mr. Gu,” an old academician said, then asked Gu Juntian, “Mr. Gu, what do you plan to do with this hexagonal diamond?”

Gu Juntian said, “My boyfriend designed a set of ancient-style jewelry. I studied hexagonal diamonds specifically so that his ancient-style jewelry can be inlaid with unique gemstones! His set of jewelry requires a total of forty-two hexagonal diamonds for inlaying. For the next month, I will focus on helping him cultivate hexagonal diamonds, and these diamonds will all belong to him.”

The old academician who was talking to Gu Juntian was dumbfounded.

The others present were also left speechless.

Gu Juntian added, “Furthermore, the Gu group needs to use these six diamonds for promotion to enhance the reputation of the Holy Emperor jewelry brand under the Gu group.”

The researchers across from Gu Juntian were already numb.

Such a precious thing, and Gu Juntian actually planned to use it to make jewelry?

This was wasteful, just as unbelievable as using Alloy No. 1 to make a safe!

Wait, Mr. Gu clearly knew the value of Alloy No. 1, yet he still used Alloy No. 1 to make safes. Now he was using hexagonal diamonds to make jewelry—didn’t that seem normal?
