Chapter 299 Please Stay Away from My Girlfriend

Then he looked at Ji Chen and asked, "Do you need us to cut the materials for you on site? If not, we can help you deliver it to the place you specify."

He actually didn't want to open it for Ji Chen. The shopkeeper could already imagine that when the time came, this kid would be devastated and disappointed.

It would be fine if he was an old hand at gambling on stones, but this guy is obviously a novice and hasn't developed his ability to withstand pressure yet. It would be bad if he couldn't bear it and started to act like a rogue.

However, when Ji Chen heard the shopkeeper's words, he nodded without comment and said, "Let's open it on the spot."

The stone only cost about 200,000 yuan, and he was too lazy to bother with it.

After hearing Ji Chen's answer, the shopkeeper could only smile and say, "Okay, then we'll start making the ingredients on the spot!"

After saying that, he called the clerk and took Ji Chen into the store to pay.

At this time, Li Chenghui's female assistant, who had just bought the rough stone for 4.5 million, walked out of the store.

After the clerk exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper looked at Li Chenghui and said with a smile, "Boss Li, now we will officially start preparing the ingredients for you."

Li Chenghui walked to the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Okay."

"Okay!" the shopkeeper said, and called out to the cutter beside him, "Old Zhang, this piece of rough material for Boss Li is now in your hands."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he handed the raw stone in his hand to a cutting master who was in his fifties.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to inspect the surface of the jadeite raw stone before cutting it.

Professional observation and understanding can effectively avoid damaging the internal structure of the jadeite raw stone during the cutting process.

Work like this kind of cutting usually requires a professional master craftsman to do it.

Soon, the cutting master took the stone from the shopkeeper, placed it on the workbench in the cutting area, and began to inspect the material.

Li Chenghui, his fellow masters and assistants stood aside, occasionally exchanging a few words with the cutting master.

Although the masters are very professional, they can only make suggestions on where to start, and mark the cutting after the buyer confirms and agrees.

After discussing for five or six minutes, they confirmed the location where the material needed to be cut and started cutting.

At this time, Ji Chen also came out of the Baiyitang store after paying.

I have to say that the jades in this store are very authentic and almost all of them are top-grade.

He can bring the little white rabbit in for a walk later.

At this moment, Bai Lianwan was following the crowd and paying attention to Li Chenghui's stone.

For a girl like Bai Lianwan, even if many men know that she has a boyfriend, they will still involuntarily move closer to her and want to be closer to her.

While her attention was focused on the cutting area in front of her and she was not paying attention to her surroundings, a tall and lean man behind her approached her quietly, getting closer and closer.

He didn't stop until the distance between them was less than five or six centimeters. Now, as long as the girl leaned back slightly, she could fall directly into his arms.

Or...he could just move forward a little?

Thinking of this, the man looked at the girl who was so close to him, his nose filled with the girl's fragrance. His head became hot and he raised his foot to take a step forward.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly approached him. Before he could react, an arm appeared in front of his chest, and a terrifying force directly lifted him backwards.

"Please stay away from my girlfriend."

The latter staggered back several steps in embarrassment. Knowing that he was wrong and that he could not beat Ji Chen, he quickly walked away with a red face.

The men around who were ready to make a move saw this scene and consciously kept their distance.

This girl's boyfriend looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.

Bai Lianwan also noticed the movement behind her, turned around, and saw Ji Chen's expressionless face at a glance.

When Ji Chen saw the girl turning around, he pretended to be displeased and said, "Are you watching so seriously?" She almost didn't even realize that someone was taking advantage of her.

As he spoke, he stood directly behind Bai Lianwan.

Bai Lianwan curled her lips and leaned into his arms. "You're the one who brought me here to see this."

In fact, she had just noticed a strange breath approaching from behind her, as well as a smell of cologne that made her uncomfortable. Just as she was about to make a move, Ji Chen came over.

Ji Chen felt the movements of the little girl in his arms, smiled helplessly, put his hands on her shoulders, reached out and pinched her cheeks, and said with a little pampering, "Okay, you continue watching."

From now on, he has to take this little white rabbit with him wherever he goes, because it attracts too much attention.

Bai Lianwan felt a little pain on the cheek from being pinched by Ji Chen, so she reached out and pushed his hand off her shoulder.

Then, she grabbed it and placed it on her waist, complaining softly, "It hurts so much, don't pinch my face anymore."

Ji Chen smiled, hugged the little girl in front of him, and watched the cutting process in front together.

The people around: "..."

They are here to gamble on stones today, not to eat dog food!

After this brief incident, everyone quickly turned their attention back to jade cutting.

The raw material placed on the cutting machine constantly makes a "rustling" sound due to the high-speed operation of the cutting knife.

Everyone's heart was lifted up along with the cutting knife.

Li Chenghui himself held his breath and licked his lips from time to time, hoping to get a top-quality imperial green jade and sell it for hundreds of times the price!

The piece of raw material was not big. With the operation of the cutting machine, it was cut in half by the sharp cutting machine in less than seven or eight minutes.

The cutting master immediately moved the cutting knife back, removed the raw material fixed on the machine and rinsed it with water.

Then, under everyone's expectant gaze, the two cross-sections were presented to everyone and Li Chenghui.

But when everyone saw the material exposed from the cut surface of the raw material, the expressions on their faces froze instantly!

The originally excited expression on Li Chenghui's face suddenly froze, and his face darkened at a terrifying speed.

Lin Qingya saw the raw material being cut by the master and the expression on Li Chenghui's face. She frowned slightly and asked quietly, "It looks like the situation is not good."

Bai Lianwan also muttered quietly, "Maybe he didn't make any money."

As Bai Lianwan finished speaking, Ji Chen's voice reached her ear, "Not only did we not make any money, we even lost money. Judging from the situation, we lost at least 4 million."

Bai Lianwan was slightly stunned, "So much loss?"

She thought the cut surface looked fine, so how could she lose so much money?

At this time, Li Chenghui in the cutting area covered his face with his hands and smiled bitterly, "Okay, one cut, 4 million is gone."

The jade cutter also sighed and nodded, "The material here is better, it can be made into a bracelet. The ones below are all bean-type jadeite with little value, what a pity."

When everyone heard what the two said, their faces were filled with shock.

"It's too exciting. Four million is gone in one fell swoop. If it were me, my heart would definitely not be able to bear it."

"Four million is gone just like that, what a shame."

"Fortunately, I didn't have enough money just now, otherwise I would have been the one who lost money."

"Alas, to play this, you need a good heart."

…

Everyone was talking and sighing at the same time, and of course there were also those who were gloating over the misfortune.

Lin Qingya and Bai Lianwan were even more shocked by what Ji Chen had just said to them.

He actually predicted a loss of four million.

Could it be that this guy really understands jade?

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but shift their gaze to the big rock that Ji Chen had bought not far away...
