Chapter 638: Losing Money
Then, Ling Pinyuan signed her name on the receipt.
“I hope that the pavilion master of the Soaring Clouds Pavilion will also stamp your Soaring Clouds Pavilion’s seal below.”
Everyone felt that Zhong Nuannuan’s actions were unnecessary.
The pavilion master of Soaring Clouds Pavilion did not expect Zhong Nuannuan to win. Therefore, when he saw that his Eldest Miss had authorized him, he immediately stamped his seal.
Once she obtained that, Zhong Nuannuan was still worried and asked, “I wonder if Miss Ling has the authority to deal with the raw stones of the Soaring Clouds Pavilion?”
“Even if I don’t have the authority, the pavilion master of the Soaring Clouds Pavilion does. Since the seal has been stamped, this matter is already set in stone. Therefore, even if all 15 raw stones you chose are all green imperial jade, you can take them away, much less just one imperial jade.”
“Miss is right,” the pavilion master agreed.
“Okay, I’m counting on your words, Miss Ling.”
Then, Zhong Nuannuan handed the receipt to the old master and said, “Grandpa, please help me keep this. I’ll go and pick a gift for you. I’ll try to get you an imperial jade later.”
With that, Zhong Nuannuan went to the exhibition hall to choose her raw stones.
She left behind a group of stone-gambling enthusiasts who mocked her and praised the old master for his good fortune. However, in reality, they were all condemning Zhong Nuannuan for being a prodigal who loved to stand out.
How could the old master ignore these hated expressions on these people’s faces? He said arrogantly, “Of course, not many people in this world are as lucky as me. My granddaughter is very powerful!”
Everyone laughed and thought to themselves, ‘When your granddaughter squanders a few million bucks on you later, your luck will be even better.’
Soon, everyone’s attention was drawn to Zhong Nuannuan.
When it came to stone-gambling, although one could only win by relying on one’s eyesight and nine points of luck, your eyesight was crucially important.
For example, some raw stones could not be bought at all at a single glance.
Zhong Nuannuan, on the other hand, found it easier than picking cabbage. She would pick whichever one she liked.
It felt that picking raw stones were much easier for her than picking cabbages.
In less than five minutes, Zhong Nuannuan picked out a total of 15 raw stones from the three exhibition halls.
All the jade that she chose was the best in Soaring Clouds Pavilion.
To be honest, the quality of the raw stones in Soaring Clouds Pavilion was rather good. It could even be said that they had gotten lucky and imported a batch of high-grade raw stones.
There was two glass jade in the old pit, two high-grade ice jade, one ice jade, four in ice-waxy type, and the remaining six were picked by Zhong Nuannuan too.
There were only 15 good stones in the huge raw stone supply exhibition hall. Ling Pinyuan was also too straightforward and gave Zhong Nuannuan all the jade in her family.
Zhong Nuannuan brought the raw stones that she picked to the front desk for registration and weighing.
It came up to a total of 675 catties. According to the prices of the three exhibition halls, the total price was 2.25 million.
“Miss Zhong really knows how to choose. She actually chose such big ones. Are you afraid that you won’t earn enough if I lose?”
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and said, “Isn’t it? The bigger, the more worth it they are, right?”
Ling Pinyuan did not comment on Zhong Nuannuan’s attitude of taking advantage of others.
The stone gambling master himself did not pick the raw stones personally. A large number of them came in groups.
It was like buying cherries. The seller could let you pick a few that were especially good, but you still had to take the rest. Otherwise, if you picked all the decent-looking ones, would the rest of the bad cherries be unable to be sold?
