Beneath a few centimeters of its surface, this piece was entirely emerald green!

Its green color was extremely pleasing!

‘Oh my God! This piece, once the crust is scrubbed off, is entirely jade! Hahahahahaha!’

Huang Xiaolong burst into laughter in his heart!

However, he controlled his inner joy, keeping a straight face. He quickly strode over, directly picked up the piece as if he was scared it would be stolen!

Holding the piece in his hand, Huang Xiaolong looked more closely. The surface had very poor color, dull and lusterless, and there weren’t any textures or grains. It was rough and pitted like an orange peel, with a grayish-brown color.

“Little Huang, have…have you picked your piece?” Boss Miao asked in surprise. “But Little Huang, this piece’s skin is so plain and colorless, it’s like the leftover scrap that no one wants…”

Cui Feiyan laughed out as well. “Little Long, why did you pick the most unremarkable and ugly one?”

“Hehe, the real show is yet to come.” Huang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously.

Then, Huang Xiaolong, like he had found a treasure, cuddled that piece and found the owner of these raw stones. “Boss, how much for this one?”

“This one?” The materials owner glanced at the raw stone in Huang Xiaolong’s hand, his eyes clearly mocking. He thought, this country bumpkin really doesn’t know what’s what. The piece doesn’t even have a line on it, if it turns out to be green, it’d be against all natural laws!

“Haha, this raw stone isn’t great and no one has been interested in it, although, it’s not impossible that it would turn out to be green. Young man, I won’t cheat you, for this kind of poor-quality material, it’s a thousand yuan per kilogram. This is a unified price, if you really want it then let’s weigh it now.”

“Oh…Boss, you want a thousand yuan per kilogram for this piece, it looks like an ordinary stone you would find on the roadside. You are really overcharging.” Huang Xiaolong said deliberately.

“Get going, if you can’t afford it don’t stand here talking nonsense.” The boss said grumpily.

“Well… all right then, a thousand yuan per kilogram right? I’ll take it, please weigh it for me.” Huang Xiaolong was laughing his head off!

A worker helped Huang Xiaolong weigh it and casually said. “It’s exactly 8 kilograms, in total, it would be 8000 yuan. Are you going to pay by card or with cash?”

“Feiyan, pay for it.” Huang Xiaolong told Cui Feiyan.

Cui Feiyan had some cash in her bag, so she directly took out 8000 yuan and handed it to the worker.

“Little Long, are you..are you planning to cut the stone now?” Cui Feiyan was still not very optimistic about this “ugly piece”, able to rise in price.

Well, it’s just a few thousand yuan. If it’s a loss, so be it, as long as Huang Xiaolong’s happy, that’s all that matters.

Huang Xiaolong, holding the raw stone in both hands, found a stone cutter and said with a wide grin. “Master, I’d like to trouble you to cut this for me.”

“Huh?” The worker glanced at the dull material in Huang Xiaolong’s hand, then nodded dullly. “Ok. Put it down.”

“Hick!” A vicious, sarcastic voice rang out.

Suddenly, Shu Jie, leading a group of jewelers, came striding over.

“Is there a need to cut this kind of scrap?” Shu Jie stared at Huang Xiaolong with a mocking smile on his face, his eyes revealing a cruel look.

Just now, he made a wrong judgment, costing him 70 million. Although Huang Xiaolong said from the beginning that the piece wasn’t good, Shu Jie didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong knew how to gamble on stones, or that his foresight was so good. He was adamant that Huang Xiaolong was purposely contradicting him, and ended up jinxing him.

Now, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s chosen piece, he affirmed that Huang Xiaolong was a fool!

The surrounding jewelers also began to chime in—

“This kind of material is just rubbish, it has no value at all, do you still want to cut it? It’s better to throw it away.”

“Young people are just playful, it’s only a few thousand yuan. It’s no big deal if they want to try their luck.”

“Hahahaha a few thousand yuan, maybe, to this country bumpkin coming to town for work, it’s already an astronomical figure.”

“How stupid do you have to be, to pick a raw stone with such poor quality…”

Despite facing a public outcry and derision, Huang Xiaolong remained calm and even felt like laughing.

Huang Xiaolong had already examined this piece, aside from a few centimeters of crust, inside there was genuine jade!

This is a surefire win, so why the argument?

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong glanced at Shu Jie and those noisy jewelers like they were a bunch of clumsy clowns.

“Hehe ?everything is unknown before it’s cut open.” Huang Xiaolong made an innocent smile. “Maybe it’s full of green.”

“Nonsense!” Shu Jie’s face turned blue. “This stone is so dull and gray, like your ugly face. Only a hick like you would take it as a treasure. I can say with my many years of experience in this industry, this piece shall never rise in price!”

“Many years of experience? Hahaha experience sometimes blinds us.” Huang Xiaolong smiled playfully. “With such rich experience, why did you lose tens of millions from a single cut?”

Pfft

These words from Huang Xiaolong made Shu Jie spit blood!

Damn it, this slap really stung!

“Shut up!” Shu Jie roared. “Fine! Country bumpkin, since you challenge me, are you willing to gamble with me?”

“Ah ?really…I’ve never seen such a fool…what do you want to bet?” Huang Xiaolong sighed with exasperation.

“On this piece, if you bet that the price rises, I’ll lose 10 million to you! But…if you lose, you will also lose 10 million to me!” Shu Jie smirked. “Dare to gamble or not? Also, this 10 million, you must pay from your own pocket, nobody is allowed to pay for you! If you don’t have 10 million, haha…then you must kneel down here, kowtow in public, kowtow until I tell you to stop! Dare to gamble?”

“10 million?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up suddenly!

What he’s really lacking now is money!

Since this idiot insists on handing over 10 million, it would be rude to refuse!

“Er…10 million? Isn’t that a bit too little? Why don’t we bet more…” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes rolled around, revealing a trace of banter. “Let’s make it 50 million, that suits the status of one of the Four Little Rich Kids from Binhai better.”

“50 million?” Shu Jie flinched slightly.

50 million to him, although it’s a small sum, but if he lost that in the blink of an eye, Shu Jie would still feel a littlej pain.

Cui Feiyan felt slightly anxious too.

50 million, for Cui Feiyan who is currently facing a large shortfall in funds, is not a small sum.

But she didn’t say anything.

Huang Xiaolong had just unexpectedly earned 50 million, which was his own money, even if he lost all, there was no reason for Cui Feiyan to blame him.

“Shu Dasha, are you backing down?” Huang Xiaolong provocatively smiled.

“Hahahahahahaha! Who’s afraid of who? Ridiculous! Why would I, Shu Jie, be afraid of a country bumpkin like you? Let’s bet! 50 million it is! But let me tell you this—” Shu Jie’s face hardened, pausing after every word, with unshakeable determination. “If you lose, I won’t even need the money. I’ll take your hands and feet in return! That’s doing you a favor, the hands and feet of a country bumpkin like you would only be worth 50 million…”
