Chapter 444: Devilish Brat Was About to Explode

“Since it’s the highest bidder who gets it, I want to see your piece. Young Master Wang, you won’t mind, right?”
180 raised his chin and looked at Wang Yan. His eyes were filled with undisguised malice.
Black Tiger smiled evilly and knocked on Wang Yan’s shoulder. Using a voice that everyone could hear, he teased the young master, “I let you plant grass everywhere, but the culprit still came knocking on your door, right?”
You belong in the jungle!
He ignored you, yet you’re here just stirring up trouble and causing destruction. Do you need to be locked up?
Young Master Wang threw an annoyed look at Black Tiger, saying, “Just you wait.”He casually placed the raw stone back on the table. “Please do as you please.”
Drilling ring picked up the raw stone, casually sized it up, and immediately offered a price. “I’ll offer you 65,000!”
“Okay, I’ll give it to you.”
Young Master Wang shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Eh?
Was he a coward?
Everyone was shocked and completely confused.
While they were still in a daze, Wang Yan picked up another raw stone and waved it at 180.
“What about this one? Do you want to see it?”
180’s eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion. He braced himself and said, “Take a look? Why not? You can make a bid, and I will raise it.”
“Okay.”
Wang Yan was as straightforward as ever. He turned to Wu Gang and asked, “Brother Wu, how much is this piece?”
Wu Gang could not be bothered to look at the number and casually made a starting bid. “50,000.”
180 immediately followed up, “I’ll bid 60,000!”
This time, Wang Yan did not give in. He immediately followed up, “100,000.”
180 refused to back down even more. “110,000!”
Wang Yan continued to raise. It was as if he had set his sights on it. “150,000.”
180 did not have time to think. He opened his mouth and shouted, “160,000!”
The next moment, the young master secretly smiled and handed over the raw stone. You’re a tiger, I’ll admit defeat!
He was laughing in his heart, but his expression had to be f*cked up. “I’ll give you another chance. Brother, you can do it again and again, but you can’t do it again and again.”
Huang Jiajun and Ye Ziwen both thought that 180 was really angry.
Huang Jiajun quickly advised, “Brother Zhou, a gentleman doesn’t take away what others like. It’s enough. Don’t hurt the peace.”
180 was very unhappy. “Xiao Jun, don’t meddle in my affairs!”
Wang Yan was confused by these two sentences.
Huang Jiajun’s persuasion seemed to be very confident. Logically speaking, only people with a higher status would speak like this. Otherwise, if they were rejected, it would hurt their pride.
However, the response was even more forceful, and it really pushed Huang Jiajun back.
Who was the elder one between the two of them?
Sun Hongwei had some guesses in his heart. He approached Wang Yan and quietly reminded him.
“Xiao Huang should be Huang Rumao’s son. President Huang also happens to be the vice president of the Foshan Jade Association. That’s right. He’s a ruthless person. The famous domestic demonic stock ST merchant is President Huang’s handiwork.”
Wang Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “According to what you said, the background of 180 is even bigger?”
“Then it can only be Zhou Qiaoxin’s youngest son. He’s a Hong Kong tycoon, the first batch of Patriots to invest in Guangdong province. He’s the backbone of Australia’s Li Hua Chamber of Commerce. He also seems to have the title of Honorary Chairman of a department of the United Nations. His family connections are even better than President Huang’s…”
Oh my, what kind of fate is this?
I went out for a casual stroll, and ended up offending someone so awesome?
Actually, this was the symbol of Wang Yan’s own class transition.
When one’s level reached that high, the ones who would have disputes with him would naturally not be some small-time hooligans or village assassins.
Even though 180’s act was not fundamentally different from the small-time hooligans, it still had a layer of true tiger skin.
Just like today’s meeting, Wu Gang’s place was really not a place where any third-rate second-generation could come. If it wasn’t for Huang Jiajun’s face… Huh?
Huang Jiajun didn’t seem to be afraid of 180?
Young Master Wang had just realized the problem when he heard Sun Hongwei continue to mutter, “But 180 is indeed stunned. Old Zhou is a little stronger than President Huang himself, but his strength is extremely limited.”
“However, in the entire Guang Province, above the four families of Wang Ji, Li Zhu, there are still two families that are the real deals. One family is surnamed Ye, and the other family is surnamed Huang.”
“Even Old Zhou doesn’t dare to offend any of the families above, but this kid doesn’t have any taboos.”
“If anyone has brains, go and check the rich list of Guang Province and count how many people surnamed Huang there are. Then, check the resumes of all the parents and officials, they definitely won’t drink like this…”
Wang Yan didn’t know much about this, but he was still shocked.
Huang Jiajun seemed to be from the big family of Yao from the mining province.
The truth was… it was far more than that.
Of course, the Ye Family was even scarier — who would dare to touch one of the surname, Ye?
Wang Yan glanced at Ye Ziwen without batting an eyelid. He was very curious in his heart. Xiu’er, is that you?
Sun Hongwei directly denied it. “Xiao Ye is 24 years old this year. She was born in 1993. She doesn’t match up with that person, but I can’t rule out the possibility that they are related…”
So complicated!
Wang Yan actually didn’t really like dealing with people from complicated families. He found it very annoying.
However, when he looked at her after-life curve, which far exceeded the average size of an Asian woman…
Yes, I, Wang Yan, admire women who are willing to work hard. I want to get introduced to a friend that I can make!
Ye Ziwen did not disappoint the young master’s appreciation. She followed behind Huang Jiajun and continued to persuade him, “Can you stop making trouble? What did Wang Yan do to offend you?”
▽⊙ !
Damn, is this persuasion?
Didn’t you say that you were quite good at talking just now?
Now, are you afraid that I won’t die gracefully?
A vast amount of resentment welled up in Young Master Wang’s heart, and his impression of Ye Ziwen got worse.
This woman could be befriended, but also not befriended.
Or the other way around.
A good child wouldn’t understand what Wang Yan was thinking at this moment. Those who understood were all masters of human nature.
As expected, Zhou Leng became even more irritable.
“You guys are really interesting. The raw stone is here, anyone can buy it. What does it have to do with Young Master Wang if I openly pay for it? Right, brother Car God?”
Wang Yan was neither impatient nor annoyed. He nodded and said, “That’s how it should be.”
Then, he picked up the third stone.
“Are you going to continue bidding?”
“Yes, why aren’t you bidding?” Zhou Leng sneered and directly raised the price to the maximum. “200,000!”
Wang Yan could not help but be stunned. He looked back deeply and said, “30.”
“350,000!”
Zhou Leng continued to raise the price desperately, but his expression became leisurely, as if he was teasing a cat or catching a mouse.
“So what? Do you want to continue playing? It’s just a few million, I can afford it.”
Young Master Wang: Haha, as if I can’t afford it!
“40.”
“450,000!”
“46.”
“500,000! Why, is that all you can do?”
Zhou Leng did not hesitate at all, his aura was as fierce as a mad tiger.
The change happened too quickly, and before anyone could react, a piece of material that was originally priced at 50,000 had already been pushed up to 500,000.
Wang Yan had to start considering the pros and cons.
Since this was a true top-notch rich second generation, the original strategy had to be adjusted.
Wang Yan initially wanted to scam the other party and at the same time, to cover for the two real targets.
However, he really did not expect Zhou to be something that harmed others but not himself.
He just had to be filthy rich!
A dozen stones, two to three million each, would normally make most second-generation heirs feel distressed and then timid.
Once the other party hesitated a little and was caught by Wang Yan’s hesitation, he could trap himt in the middle and take him down at the smallest price.
However, Zhou Leng was only stunned, he was not stupid.
Regardless of his desperate bid, which may seem silly in the eyes of outsiders, it was actually the most appropriate response at the moment.
That was because Zhou Leng really didn’t care about losing a few million.
And his core goal was to make Wang Yan get nothing.
The fight between the rich second generation was the result. I’ll bet over you. It was much more important to win than to lose a few million.
Wang Jiang, Yin, and Li had all done this before.
So Young Master Wang was now in a difficult position — should he continue the fight or focus on the target?
While he was deep in thought, Black Tiger suddenly gave him a look. He looked at Wang Yan, then at the raw stone. He secretly pointed his thumb at his chest and nodded deeply.
His meaning was probably: you continue to scam that idiot, keep the real target, and I’ll help you take it down in the end.
It was a good idea, but Wang Yan was not prepared to do that.
If you took the initiative to come up and find trouble, wouldn’t it look like I didn’t know how to treat guests if I didn’t slap you personally?
“Alright, this one is yours. Continue.”
Wang Yan’s expression was as calm as water. No negative emotions could be seen on his face. He didn’t seem depressed at all.
He casually took out another stone. It was one of his real targets.
Wu Gang finally took another look at the raw stone. It seemed like they knew what each other were thinking, but he didn’t purposely cause any trouble. He still started the price at 50,000 yuan.
Wang Yan keenly noticed the slight difference and felt more confident.
It wasn’t that this raw stone was only worth 50,000, it was just that there was no need to bid too high on it.
Zhou Leng didn’t notice anything different about it, but he still easily raised the bid to 500,000.
However, this time, Wang Yan didn’t give in.
“55.”
“600,000!”
“61.”
“Yo? You’re not going to shrink anymore? 650,000!”
“80.”
“70… No, 850,000!”
The sudden unconventional price increase caught Zhou Leng off guard. The devilish Brat’s gaze suddenly became more vigilant.
However, it was useless.
Young Master Wang was getting more and more unreasonable.
“86.”
“900,000!”
“91.”
“1,000,000! Come on, continue!”
“100.5.”
“1,100,000! Look at how embarrassing your bid is!”
“111 yuan.”
“1,150,000 yuan! Do you dare to bid more? Car God bro?”
No matter how much Zhou Leng provoked him, Wang Yan remained calm and did not say a single word. He was as deep as an abyss.
In the end, when the bid finally reached 1,250,000 yuan, Zhou Lun suddenly stopped and smiled.
“Since you want it so much, I’ll let you have it this time! If you dare to bid 1,200,000 yuan for every piece, I will give them all to you? Let’s see how you’ll make up for it!”
“Noisy.”
Wang Yan’s indifferent words were thrown at him, and he was so angry that he almost flipped the table.
The young master completely ignored him and turned his head to ask Wu Gang, “Brother Wu, can you dissect the stone here?”
Wu Gang gave a rare smile and nodded. “There’s a small cutting machine in the room next door. I’ll call someone in for you.”
He raised his voice and spoke a few sentences in Burmese, and a young man opened the curtain behind him and walked in.
Wang Yan handed over the stone, stood up, stretched, and invited Ye Ziwen, “You’ve been sitting here for too long. Sister Ye, do you want to do something interesting?”
Ye Ziwen was most interested in Wang Yan, so she readily agreed, “Sure, let’s go and take a look!”
Huang Jiajun jeered, “Car God, you’re favoring one over the other! Why didn’t you invite us to an activity?”
Seeing that Brother Hu had suddenly jumped up and was 100% trying to add fuel to the fire, Young Master Wang smiled, “When I invite men for an activity, it’s usually in the boxing ring. Brother Hu, do you like fighting? If you have time, you can spar with me.”
Black Tiger: Huh? Why did I suddenly stand up? The weather today is really good, hahaha…
He pretended to stretch his waist, sat down immediately, and continued to look at the stone.
I, Black Tiger, pay the most attention when I do anything!
Huang Jiajun did not know what this big brother was up to. He chatted with Wang Yan normally, “Forget it, forget it. I believe in Buddhism. I can just drink tea, but I can’t go on stage. You guys go ahead, I’ll take a look again!”
Huang Jiajun did not move. Naturally, it was not convenient for him to follow. He snorted coldly and his eyes were dark.
Wang Yan and Ye Ziwen followed the master to the back room. When they saw the narrow room, they decided not to go in. They stood at the door and watched.
Wang Yan called Ye Ziwen because he had other thoughts. He stood face to face and went straight to the point.
“Sister Ye, I’m still a little confused. Can you explain it to me?”
Ye Ziwen lowered her head and knocked the ground with her high heels. She replied embarrassedly, “Zhou Chongshan is my ex-boyfriend…”
What the hell!
What kind of games do you introduce the children of rich families to?
Although he was shocked, Wang Yan’s expression did not change at all. He even revealed a slight smile. “Then your relationship with them must be really good…”
“No!”
Ye Ziwen was a little anxious and blushed a little.
It was not that she was shy in front of Wang Yan, it was just that she felt that this kind of thing was a little embarrassing.
“The two of us were not compatible with each other, so I initiated the breakup!”
“The main thing is that there are only so many people of the same age in the circle, and it’s not good to see each other up and down. It’s not good to shed all pretense of cordiality.”
“Actually, I really dislike him constantly interfering in my life, but that person is just like that. His personality is especially immature, and he’s far inferior to you.”
Scumbag!
Why are you explaining so much to me?
You already know that I’m mature after just meeting me for the first time?
… As long as you’re not blind, you can see it, okay? You’re about to become an old woman. Don’t you know what you want?
However, this was not the main point. Instead, it triggered a light in Wang Yan’s heart.
He smiled without batting an eyelid, and the young master asked again, “Brother Zhou still likes you very much, right?”
Ye Ziwen proudly puffed out her chest. “In the industry, there are at most two or three people who are as beautiful as me. However, there isn’t a single person who is as sexy as me!”
Wang Yan slightly lowered his head to take a look and firmly believed what she said.
Ye Ziwen’s face, right? It was big and… gorgeous!
Her face was not big, but her facial bones were very fleshy. Moreover, her muscles were firm, so she looked both small and full and compact.
Especially her cherry-like mouth, which might not be as big as the mouth of a nutrient fast line even if it was opened to the maximum.
From this, one could see…
In short, she was a very unique beauty.
Zhou Chongshan was unwilling to accept it. It was understandable.
..
The material was not big, and it was cut very quickly in the time they were chatting.
The master did not seem to speak Chinese. He only gave Wang Yan a thumbs-up with a face full of joy.
Ye Ziwen saw the uncarved jade and immediately exclaimed, “Ah! High-ice Blue Jade. It can produce two. That’s a huge increase!”
Wang Yan did not have much professional knowledge, so he carefully looked at the unpolished jade.
The color was slightly blue. It was the size of a child’s palm and shaped like a pebble. The upper half was extremely transparent, and the lower half had some cotton. Even without being polished, it already had a feeling of brilliance.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Ye Ziwen was far more excited than Wang Yan. She cheered heartily.
“You’re great! Quickly tell me, do you actually know what’s inside?”
The young master shook his head. “It was just luck.”
“Liar! You followed Zhou Chongshan all the way to the end. You spent 1.25 million to buy only one piece of material, and it expanded after being cut open. How could it be pure luck?”
Ye Ziwen was not stupid. She immediately guessed the truth.
However, Wang Yan could not admit it. He just smiled and did not say anything.
Even though there was a suspicion that he was deliberately being mysterious, Ye Ziwen still fell for it. Her eyes were full of admiration for him.
“The price going to go up when you open the door. You have to treat me later!”
It was easy to find a solution.
“Of course, what do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat… Hehe!”
As her favorability quickly reached 75, Ye Ziwen suddenly started to stir up trouble.
Halfway through her sentence, she licked her lips and shot a flirtatious look at Brother Hu. There was only a hint of reserve left in her eyes. “It’s up to you… I want to eat something fresh…”
Got it!
This week was still considered fresh.
The air started to fill with a strange aura. The room was already pitch black, and it was especially suitable for a battle.
However, when Brother Hu heard the shouts from the main hall, he shouted, “The bet increased? Quickly bring it to me to see how much it increased by?”
It didn’t matter how much the bet went up by.
What was important was that it was finally proven that the halo and shadow observation method was indeed effective.
If Wang Yan was willing to further his studies in this field and had enough experience, he could even become a war god among the half-gamblers by combining other appraisal methods.
Of course, Wang Yan definitely wouldn’t waste his time learning how to appraise jades.
The jade market was about to collapse, and he wasn’t short of money. Where was the need for that?
Bringing the freshly baked blue jades back to the main hall, it was boiling with excitement.
“F*ck! Ice Blue Jades! Car God, you’re the Chosen One, right? !”
“Good Boy, you got it right away… Wang Yan, do you really have that f*cking spiritual aesthetic?”
“Tsk, Little Wang, you’re good, open the door!”
“Haha! My hard-looking raw stone is the best. Brother, you’re a person blessed by Buddha, congratulations!”
The Blue Jade spun around and returned to Ye Ziwen’s hand. She held onto it tightly.
“Car God, can you sell it to me? Can you sell it for three million yuan? I really like it, please?”
When she begged, her upper body shook slightly. It was a magnificent sight, and her voice was even more coquettish.
Sun Hongwei was afraid that Wang Yan did not understand the market, so he smiled and said, “Three million yuan is a bit of a premium. It seems that Xiao Ye really likes it.”
It was impossible for him to sell it.
Are you kidding me? Do I, Wang Fugui, lack that three million?
Young Master Wang smiled slightly, and his temperament suddenly changed. Like a spring breeze blowing on his face, the warm sun was just born, and his whole person became more handsome out of thin air.
Then, he said gently, “It was fate that we met, and it is appropriate for me to give a beautiful woman a beautiful jade. In order to not have a shallow relationship with you, I can’t directly give it to you, so I will only charge 1.25 million. I’ll transfer the original price to you!”
The matter was done beautifully, and the words were nice to hear. How could she break it?
There was no way to break it!
Ye Ziwen’s expression was intoxicated, and her eyes were filled with peach blossoms. With a smack, she pounced forward, hugged Wang Yan, and gave him a fierce kiss.
Muack!
Eh?
Everything else was right, but why did she pounce forward with a kiss?
Alright, those were all minor details, so it was fine to not mention it.
In short, the favorability rating soared to 81 — the sweet, handsome, and doting little puppy had fallen in love!
Then, the next moment, heavy panting sounds came from the room.
Just as Wang Yan had predicted, the devilish child was about to explode.
