Luo Chen stood in front of the raw stone stall and said.
Zhao Ruoshuang asked, “Aren’t you going to take a look? There seem to be a few more raw stone stalls in front.”
“No, let’s check out this one.”
The other stall had too few stones, so Luo Chen decided to buy from here.
Ye Bei snorted disdainfully from behind.
According to his understanding of jade, most of the raw stones in this shop were from Burma.
Although Burma raw stones could indeed produce top-notch jade like ice or glass types…
The probability of getting them was still too low. Most of them were ordinary green jade. It was already considered a blessing to be able to pick out a low grade jade occasionally!
“Alright, which one do you want to buy?”
Zhao Ruoshuang did not understand this either. She felt that all the stones looked the same.
“I’ve never been very lucky. Why don’t you help me choose a few first?”
Luo Chen said with a smile. Then, he quietly stuck the good luck charm on Zhao Ruoshuang’s back.
The charm would disappear after being stuck on, so no one would notice it at all.
“Me? I definitely can’t!”
When Zhao Ruoshuang heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
It was fine if it was investing in other things, but she really knew nothing about stone gambling.
She was worried that she would buy an ordinary one or that there would be no jade inside.
Luo Chen comforted her. “Ruoshuang, believe in yourself. It’s just a game. Don’t be nervous. Choose whatever you like.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoshuang was a little stunned.
She was not stunned because Luo Chen called her Ruoshuang.
It was the words he had said.
She did not seem to have the right to make any choices when she was young. When she was young, her parents only gave her the option to study.
When she grew up, her only choice was to find a job.
Now that she was in the investment industry, she found it even more difficult to make choices according to her heart.
Because once the investment failed, the entire company would question her!
Most of the time, people only asked her how she would choose.
Only Luo Chen asked her to choose whatever she liked.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ruoshuang’s eyes could not help but turn red.
At the same time, she had an inexplicably good impression of Luo Chen. She had never had such a feeling since she was young.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing that Zhao Ruoshuang seemed to be a little depressed, Luo Chen asked.
“It’s nothing. Will you blame me if I failed to choose the right ones?”
Zhao Ruoshuang asked carefully.
Luo Chen’s eyes were filled with trust. “It’s impossible for you to choose wrongly! The ones you like must be good!”
What a joke! If she could even choose a bad stone, wouldn’t that be a slap to the System Emperor’s face?
Looking at the trust in the other party’s eyes, Zhao Ruoshuang felt her heart beat faster.
She hurriedly focused her gaze on the raw stone stall.
“Little Sister, is there any stone you like? Buy anything and I’ll open it for you on the spot!”
Hu Cheng said generously. He was very confident in his batch.
“Yes… I want that one.”
Zhao Ruoshuang looked at it for a long time and did not know what to choose. She pointed at one which looked more pleasing to the eye.
This raw stone was about the length of an arm and about the width of a computer screen.
The surface of the raw stone was filled with potholes. It looked a little like a meteorite.
Ye Bei raised his eyebrows when he saw the stone.
Usually, it was impossible to get good jade from this kind of raw stone.
Moreover, most of the time, there wouldn’t even be a hint of green jade inside.
Haha! As expected of the woman I like. Now, she’s also joined me in digging a pit for Luo Chen!
Hu Cheng looked a little embarrassed when he saw this raw stone.
It was unknown which dog had thrown such a piece of trash on the truck.
The person who picked up the goods was also brainless. He even accepted this kind of trash. He would definitely teach him a lesson when he returned!
If there was nothing inside after opening it, wouldn’t that be ruining his reputation?
At the thought of this, Hu Cheng directly asked for an exorbitant price. “I don’t want much for this raw stone. Two million!”
Those who knew a little knew that it was definitely not worth two million yuan.
Therefore, he wanted to use another method to persuade her to leave. After all, in this line of work, he could never admit that his goods were not good. It was a taboo.
“Two million?”
Zhao Ruoshuang was shocked by this price.
No wonder everyone advised them not to gamble on stones. Was such a small thing worth two million yuan?
She looked at Luo Chen. “Why don’t you choose? I’m too nervous.”
Zhao Ruoshuang still could not accept that two million yuan might be wasted because of her.
Luo Chen continued to comfort her. “Don’t. Just buy it. Trust yourself!”
This raw stone was big enough. Coupled with the good luck charm, he would definitely make a huge profit this time!
Behind him, Ye Bei was also a little anxious. “Buy it, President Zhao! Boss Luo doesn’t lack money at all. If we can’t win this time, we will stay till we do!”
In addition to urging Zhao Ruoshuang, Ye Bei also provoked Luo Chen’s pride.
He had already said it out loud. If Luo Chen could not get the jade, would the dignified young master of the Luo Family still have the cheek to leave?
Zhao Ruoshuang said coldly, “Ye Bei, can you talk less? It’s not your money you’re spending so of course your heart won’t ache!”
“This… I!”
Ye Bei was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
He did not expect Zhao Ruoshuang to be so protective of Luo Chen.
What was so good about him for her to protect?
“Alright, alright, stop arguing. Since Ruoshuang has taken a fancy to this raw stone at first glance, let’s buy it.”
Luo Chen could not wait to earn money.
With that, he swiped his card to pay.
Those who sold raw stones usually had POS machines. After all, every deal was not a small sum.
Hu Cheng was dumbfounded.
The money had already been transferred to his account, so he had no choice but to sell it.
“Da Mao, take this raw stone and cut it!”
Hu Cheng said to a muscular man.
“Alright.”
Da Mao spoke in a muffled voice. He crossed his arms and placed the raw stone on the cutting machine.
At this moment, Zhao Ruoshuang looked nervous.
Ye Bei and Luo Chen were both looking forward to it.
One looked forward to how much they would lose, and the other looked forward to how much they would earn!
“Yo, Boss Hu sold another one!”
“Then I have to take a look. Boss Hu’s goods are not bad.”
“If they can get some high grade jade like the last two people, I’ll buy a piece too!”
There were many people selling and buying jade here.
Hu Cheng was also very famous in this area.
Therefore, as soon as he sold a stone, more than ten people came to join in the fun.
But soon, someone realized that something was wrong.
“Eh? Why are there so many bumps on the outside of this raw stone? It’s obvious that it should not be up for sale?”
“A trash material? That can’t be. I heard that they bought it for 2 million just now.”
“Oho! Boss Hu, don’t tell me you’re scamming outsiders now? Although you can scam people, you can’t be so ruthless, right?”
A few experts stood at the side and spoke out for justice.
At this moment, Hu Cheng’s face was filled with embarrassment. With the money in hand, there was no way to return the goods. This was also the rule.
He did not expect Luo Chen to pay so quickly.
“I didn’t cheat him! My name, Hu Cheng, is guarantee enough. I’ll never cheat anyone!”
Even though the situation was embarrassing, Hu Cheng could not relent in the face of so many people.
If there was really no jade inside, he could just change his name and sell raw stones in another city!
“It’s over, Luo Chen. I think I’ve gotten into trouble.”
