"That would be perfect! Let's go check out the top bidder right now." Miao Cuihua was fully revitalized.

She originally only wanted to buy a few good pieces of jade, just enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Now that there was hope again, she was visibly happy again.

The three of them went up to the second floor.

Wang Haisheng and his son, along with a group of people, were gathered in front of two raw stones, seemingly discussing something.

Wang Jinsong waved his bandaged hand and glared at Liu Yihang hatefully.

Miao Cuihua circled the raw stone twice.

I think both are good.

After examining the equipment closely, Niu Ben took it out and looked at it carefully.

"Miao Cuihua, what's this? Interested in the top bid? If I remember correctly, your cash flow shouldn't be enough to let you win any of those top bids," Wang Haisheng said in a somewhat irritating way.

"Mind your own business. You should mind your own business first."

Wang Jinsong whispered something in his father's ear.

Wang Haisheng smiled, stepped forward, patted Liu Yihang on the shoulder, and said, "Don't forget our promise!"

They had already guessed that Liu Yihang and Miao Cuihua were a couple. Being an old and shrewd man, Wang Haisheng felt that since he couldn't have her, he would make sure that Miao Cuihua was uncomfortable and distrustful of him.

Miao Cuihua looked at the two of them with suspicion.

Ultimately, people die for money, and birds die for food. Did they make some kind of pact to ruin themselves?

Liu Yihang pushed his hand away: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, we're not acquainted."

The Wang father and son simply smiled and left smugly.

Liu Yihang could only smile wryly and explain to Miao Cuihua, "Sister Miao, if I said that Wang Jinsong tried to win me over, but I refused, would you believe me?"

Miao Cuihua gently patted Liu Yihang's shoulder: "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. Since I'm cooperating with you, I trust you."

Only she herself knows what she is really thinking.

Liu Yihang really wanted to beat the Wang family father and son to death. They actually came to make things difficult for him. May God bless them to win the bid for the number one spot and make him lose money.

Niu Ben ran over at the right moment and said, "Sister Miao, I've decided, let's bid on number one. This rough stone is performing better than number two. There's a high chance that the second rough stone will be eaten up by the 'moss' (a type of fungus), and we might end up with nothing. Number one is the safest bet."

Even if we don't end up bidding for number one, we won't lose money.

Niu Ben shared the same opinion as the others, favoring the top bidder.

After all, with such a large sum of money, insurance should be the primary consideration.

Liu Yihang wanted to tell the two that he had already chosen the second jadeite, but he didn't know where to begin. After all, given what the Wang family father and son had said, if he were to persuade them to bid on the second jadeite, he might be misunderstood as being in cahoots with the Wang family father and son.

But this one is really not worth photographing; it's a huge pit, a complete disaster.

If I were to actually film it, I would be bankrupt.

Miao Cuihua turned her gaze to Liu Yihang: "Yihang, what do you think? Which number should we bid?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yihang said directly, "I want to film number two."

Niu Ben opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remembered Liu Yihang's amazing actions over the past few days and was afraid of being embarrassed again, so he simply chose to keep quiet and gave the choice to Miao Cuihua.

Miao Cuihua's heart was racing, and she felt a little flustered.

She was terrified that this was a trap set for her by Wang Jinsong and his son in collusion with Liu Yihang, but when she thought about how she had spent the past few days with Liu Yihang, she felt that he wouldn't do it.

Should we listen to Niu Ben or Liu Yihang?

This decision was more than just a decision; it concerned his career and the fruits of his life's labor. It was a decision that risked everything and caused serious damage.

She frowned deeply and remained silent, deep in thought.

Liu Yihang didn't urge her because he knew it was a difficult decision. If he didn't have X-ray vision, it would be a tough decision, and he might not even have the courage to invest the money he had worked so hard to earn.

One cut can make you poor, another cut can make you rich; it's not just a saying.

Miao Cuihua is a legendary and formidable woman, that much is undeniable.

Wang Haisheng's side was also engaged in intensive discussions.

There was a Master Zhang, including several assistants he invited.

In fact, like Miao Cuihua, he only had 60 to 70 million yuan available this time, making it impossible for him to win the bid alone.

He promised huge profits and turned Miao Cuihua's business partners into his own.

There was originally only one top bid, but unexpectedly another one appeared at the last minute, putting them in a dilemma.

We want to acquire both, but we don't have enough funds.

Even when Wang Jinsong tried to win over Liu Yihang, he failed.

So now they can only take one piece.

Master Zhang said that if he really had to choose one, he would choose number two.

He didn't say it, but Number One seemed to be performing much better than Number Two in every aspect, though he always had a bad feeling about it.

This might be due to an intuition he developed from his childhood exposure to jade; it's hard to explain, but he relied on this intuition to avoid many disasters.

But this was merely his intuition; it was not something he could share with outsiders.

Wang Haisheng's partners, however, were all optimistic about the No. 1 rough stone.

"The flaws in the No. 2 rough stone are so obvious. If we swallow it, we'll all be ruined. The No. 1 stone is at least less risky. To be on the safe side, let's choose the No. 1 stone!"

"That's right. Number one has no bad performance at all, so why not choose number one? Choosing number two is purely a gamble. Even if a high-quality jadeite is found, if it is eaten up by a 'mosquito' (a type of jadeite), you won't earn a single penny back."

"Choose number one! You must choose number one! If you don't choose number one, we won't cooperate with you anymore. The few of us can win the bid on our own."

These people went berserk, threatening to take on the task themselves, and Wang Haisheng quickly calmed them down.

"Don't get agitated. You know Master Zhang's abilities. Let's discuss this further. We're all in this to make money."

In short, Master Zhang kept saying, "I only favor number two." Which one you ultimately choose is your business; just don't come looking for me if there are any problems.

Wang Haisheng knew he had some ability and wanted to listen to him, but unfortunately, his one mouth couldn't beat three mouths. The other man kept talking about going it alone, and he couldn't just abandon him.

Number one is number one. Number one is bigger, so maybe it will yield a bigger piece of jade.

Wang Haisheng made the final decision to bid for the number one winning bid.

The group then discussed and offered a price.

Master Zhang looked at the group, shook his head slightly, and left alone; his mission was complete.

There were quite a few people in the venue who gathered together to discuss bidding and wanted to win the bid for the top lot.

Almost all of them bid together, partly because everyone has limited funds available, and partly to share the risk.

After a fierce internal struggle, Miao Cuihua finally made a decision.

"Can I trust you?" she asked, staring into Liu Yihang's eyes.
