Yang Ruoyun’s assistant smiled. Then, he immediately explained, “Miss Yang promised to give you eight million dollars last night, but considering that you need to pay taxes, she gave you a little more. After deducting the taxes, you can earn a net profit of eight million dollars!”

“Wow, I did not expect that.”

Having heard the explanation, Yang Guang let out a sigh. “It’s good to be a celebrity. Earning money is such an easy task!”

The assistant quickly explained, “There might be some misunderstanding. Miss Yang is indeed very rich, but she didn’t earn her fortune by being an actress. The Yang family runs jewelry business.”

“Is that so? No wonder she bought my emerald!”

Yang Guang nodded and handed over the emerald in his hand, “Then the deal is done!”

“Don’t be anxious. There’s still a transfer contract here. Please sign It, Mr. Yang,” said the assistant.

“Okay!”

Qi Yingxue, who had been silent the whole time, reached out her hand to take the contract and looked at it. Then, she nodded at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang picked up the pen and signed his name. The assistant put the contract away and then carefully put the emerald into a password box. He got up and said to Yang Guang and Qi Yingxue, “Then we won’t bother you anymore.”

“Okay, I’ll walk you out!”

Yang Guang also stood up and sent the two of them out of the hotel room.

When the door closed, there was only Yang Guang and Qi Yingxue in the room. The two of them immediately hugged each other happily!

There was no need to say anything. They felt each other’s warmth.

At this moment, Yang Guang realized how happy he was to have earned eight million dollars!

However, after the hug, he immediately said to Qi Yingxue, “Yingxue, I can’t go to the exhibition with you today. I want to go to the market again after I deposit money in the bank!”

“You still want to gamble on stones? Are you addicted to it?” Qi Yingxue asked.

“No, I just think it’s a great opportunity. I’ll go and take a look. If I find good stones, I’ll earn more!” Yang Guang smiled.

“Okay, but remember what I said. Don’t spend too much money!” Qi Yingxue said.

“Don’t worry about that. I’m not a lunatic!” Yang Guang laughed.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them quickly went downstairs together and then went to do their own things separately.

Qi Yingxue always trusted Yang Guang. She knew that he wasn’t the kind of person who always acted on impulse, so she went to the exhibition to look at the kitchen utensils without worry.

Meanwhile, Yang Guang found a nearby bank where he could cash the check.

Just as Qi Yingxue had expected, the bank immediately invited him to the VIP room for such a large sum of money.

Everything went smoothly. After deducting the income tax, Yang Guang got eight million dollars in funds.

The vice president of the bank wished that he had a fixed deposit account, but Yang Guang politely refused him. Having left the bank, he got into a cab. He headed straight to the stone gambling market.

The emerald that was estimated to be worth 130,000 dollars yesterday had not been sold yet, so after reaching the market, Yang Guang went to a jewelry store and took out the emerald.

The shop owner recognized him as the person who got canutillos last night, so he immediately welcomed Yang Guang warmly. Then, he bought the emerald without hesitation. He agreed to pay Yang Guang 130,000 dollars.

This time, Yang Guang did not ask for a check or money transfer. Instead, he directly asked for cash.

After handing over the emerald, he took a bag of large bills and began to wander around the market.

Different tourists visited here every day, but the shop owners were always there. Therefore, after recognizing Yang Guang, many shop owners enthusiastically invited him over to have a look, hoping to sell a few raw stones to him.

Unfortunately, most of the stones were glowing white. Occasionally, there was a little green in them, but it was not very eye-catching.

Therefore, Yang Guang was not satisfied with their qualities. Usually, after a few glances, he would go to the next shop.

After strolling in the market for a while, Yang Guang muttered to himself as he walked, “No way. It is such a big market, and there is actually nothing good. How could it be?”

Just as he finished muttering, he saw a group of people in front of him. It seemed that they were looking at something. Yang Guang walked over curiously.

When he got closer, he heard someone in the crowd talking, but they were speaking in a dialect. He didn’t understand a single word.

Then, he looked through the crowd and found that they were actually trading raw stones.

That raw stone was even bigger than a basketball. It wasn’t very round, but its entire body was emitting a jade-green light. Yang Guang’s eyes immediately widened when he saw it!

He instantly realized that there was something good in the stone, so he listened carefully.

Unfortunately, both the buyer and seller were speaking in a dialect, so he still could not understand.

Driven by eagerness, Yang Guang nudged a man beside him. “Sir, it seems like there’s an argument inside. What are they saying?”

“You are from out of town, right?”

The man sized up Yang Guang and continued, “They are bargaining. The old man wants to sell it for 16,000 dollars. He needs the money to treat his family’s illness, but the shop owner does not agree. He could only give him 8,000 dollars!”

“Oh, the old man can go to other shops. This shop is not the only option.” Yang Guang said.

The man was very talkative. He smiled and said, “You don’t know that. The shop owners here have a tacit understanding. Usually, they won’t snatch business from their peers. If the old man can’t sell it for 16,000 dollars here, then he can’t sell it for this price in other shops either. Other shop owners will only give him 6,000 dollars!”

“Oh, isn’t that bullying?” Yang Guang said.

“These owners are very smart. They also have a good eye for the stones. If the stone is not worth 16,000 dollars, why should they buy it at a high price!” the man said.

“That’s true!”

Yang Guang nodded and didn’t say anything else.

But he was thinking. He didn’t know if the owner could see that the stone contained emerald. If the owner didn’t know it, then it was understandable. But if he was aware of its real value, things would be different. What he did was too despicable! How could he only give the old man 8,000 dollars?

Thinking of this, he said, “Excuse me.” Then, he jostled into the crowd.

Reaching the middle, Yang Guang squatted down and touched the stone. He looked at the old man, “How much is this raw stone?”

“16,000 dollars. I won’t lower my price!”

Yang Guang nodded and said, “I like this stone. Why don’t you sell it to me?”

“Hey, young man, how can you snatch my business?”

The shop owner was unhappy.

He didn’t know Yang Guang. The shop owner wasn’t in the shop last night when Yang Guang gambled on the stone, so he didn’t see how Yang Guang shocked everyone.

Yang Guang also saw this, so he smiled and said, “Sir, I’m not snatching your business. The highest bidder can get the stone. Isn’t that the rule? If you don’t want to pay 16,000 dollars, I’ll pay.”

“Young man, you’re a rookie, right? As for this stone, there would only be a little jade in it, so it’s impossible to get emerald from it. 8,000 dollars is already a high price!” the shop owner said.

Hearing this, Yang Guang was sure that he would get the stone. He smiled and said, “Maybe you are right, but I just like this stone. I am willing to spend much money on it!”

“You’re obviously doing a good deed. Then you can take it. It can be considered as an act of kindness!” the shop owner said.

Yang Guang smiled, thinking that the shop owner really didn’t know the real value of the stone!
