Chapter 7 The Old Lady Returns

There was a chorus of compliments all around: "Mr. Pei is really amazing, he can see green just by opening it."

Pei Jingming just smiled faintly: "It's just good luck."

Siming held Juanjuan calmly, and seeing her eyes about to close, he said, "If you feel sleepy, just lean on Dad and sleep."

Juanjuan nodded obediently, hugged Siming and fell asleep on his shoulder.

Pei Jingming also solved the second stone here.

Old Dong looked at it and stroked his beard: "Gan Qing, not bad either."

Pei Jingming selected ten pieces of material, the best of which produced high ice type. In total, six stones were produced, which is considered to have a relatively high probability of producing emerald green.

When the total value is calculated, it is still a lot of loss compared to the purchase value.

Siming sat beside her holding Juanjuan, one arm around her to help her sleep more comfortably, and the other hand holding a glass of wine and taking a sip.

Geng Taining walked up to him and said, "General, I can start untying you now."

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly: "I want to see how you lose later."

The people on the side also chuckled. They just saw that Governor Si picked the stones at random.

I really don't know how a wild girl could be so favored by him.

Siming turned a deaf ear to these words, just glanced at Adjutant Qi, and continued to sit there motionless.

Adjutant Qi's palms were sweaty now, but he couldn't back down. He asked the first soldier to put all the stones in his arms on the table.

The first stone was only the size of a fist, which was the yellow stone that Juanjuan described as looking like a little duck.

"Oh my God." The stone-cutting master exclaimed.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Dong Lao walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Orange, orange-yellow ice type." The stone-cutting master spoke a little incoherently.

He has been cutting jade for many years and has seen many jades of all sizes, but this is the first time he has seen orange-yellow ice jade of this quality.

This small piece is enough to cover all that Pei Jingming has opened.

Old Dong snatched the stone from his hand, took out a small magnifying glass, and examined the stone carefully.

"It's really an orange-yellow ice-type, without any flaws, it's simply top-grade."

Geng Taining could no longer sit still, so he walked towards Old Dong, took the stone and looked at it carefully.

He never expected that he could find jadeite of such a unique color from this batch of raw stones.

"How is this possible?" Liu Ruyan was the first to think it was impossible.

"Did you two see it wrong?" Pei Jingming looked at them in disbelief.

Mr. Dong looked displeased: "Then please ask Mr. Pei to take a look for himself and see if we are wrong."

Geng Taining still had a smile on his face, but with a sense of alienation. He handed the stone in his hand to him and said, "Mr. Pei, please."

Pei Jingming took the stone and examined it carefully. The bright orange-yellow color left him no room for excuses.

He turned to look at Siming, who was sitting beside him calmly drinking wine: "You know something about gambling on stones, right?"

Siming sneered, "Mr. Pei, I think this stone is worth all the jade you've ever mined. I'm willing to accept the loss, and don't forget to pay us back for the stone."

He didn't say whether he could gamble on stones, he just talked about the bet.

Pei Jingming now felt like a joke. This man must be a master at gambling on stones, otherwise why would he allow a child to buy stones at will.

He must have had his eyes on these stones for a long time, and this child was just a decoy.

But I was fooled and thought he didn't understand. Now I have lost both the wife and the army.

"General Si is indeed very resourceful."

Siming raised the wine glass in his hand towards him: "Thank you so much, Mr. Pei, for letting me make money."

Pei Jingming asked someone to give Siming the money to buy the stone, and then turned around and left.

I originally wanted to suppress Siming, but unexpectedly I was tricked by him instead.

Liu Ruyan also looked incredulous: "When did you learn to gamble on stones?"

"There's no need to report to you, Liu Ruyan, when I learn to gamble on stones!" Siming snorted coldly.

Geng Taining was now very interested in this piece of orange-yellow glass jade. "General Si, I wonder if you would like to part with this piece of jade?"

Siming looked at Juanjuan who was sleeping soundly and said: "It's too noisy here."

Geng Taining immediately understood: "General Si, please follow me to the lounge. It's quieter there and will help the young lady sleep better."

Siming held Juanjuan in his arms and followed Geng Taining to a lounge on the first floor.

Adjutant Qi immediately ordered the soldiers to take all the stones and follow them into the room.

Siming held Juanjuan in his arms and sat on the sofa, adjusting her position to make her sleep more comfortably.

Juanjuan rubbed her body against his chest, her eyelashes long and curled, like a butterfly about to fly high.

"Chairman Geng, I haven't been able to untangle these stones. Can you ask a stone-untie master to come to the room and help me untie them all?" Siming saw the large and small stones in the soldier's hand.

Geng Taining immediately asked a confidant to cut the stones. After all the stones were cut, both of them were stunned.

None of these stones are empty, and they are all made of glass.

Even all the colors of jade are collected together, including the finest imperial green, imperial purple, blue water, red, dark green, pink purple, etc.

He was speechless for a long time. If anyone said again that Siming didn't know how to gamble on stones, he would tear his mouth apart. How could this be called not knowing how to gamble on stones?

Now, even if he wanted to consume so many top-quality jadeite by himself, it would be difficult because there were simply too many and the quality was too good.

Adjutant Qi twisted his thigh hard to suppress his excited roar.

Even if the governor did not sell all the jadeite, selling just a few pieces would be enough to solve the financial crisis of their governor's office, and it would still be free.

He was so happy that he wanted to shout!

Siming's heart was already in turmoil. He really didn't expect that not a single piece would be lost, and every piece was of top quality.

He remained calm and composed, "I'm afraid President Geng can't eat so much, and I don't plan to sell it all."

Geng Taining's forehead was now covered in sweat. He wiped it with his sleeve and said, "I understand. I wonder how much of it General Si can give up?"

"My daughter is tired today, so I have to take her home first. Why don't you ask President Geng to come to my home tomorrow to discuss in detail?" Si Ming looked at the little person in his arms.

These were all bought by Juanjuan from their family. Even if I want to sell them, I have to ask her opinion.

Geng Taining also needed time to raise funds: "Okay, I will go to the mansion tomorrow to discuss the details with the governor."

Siming winked at Adjutant Qi, asking them to put away all the raw stones and walk out of the East China Chamber of Commerce together.

When he left, there were still many people who wanted to buy this rough stone, but he asked them to come to his house tomorrow to discuss in detail.

As soon as the car started moving, Adjutant Qi couldn't help but say, "General, the young lady is truly a lucky star for our Governor's Mansion."

"I'm the one gambling on stones today, and I'm also the one buying the stones. It has nothing to do with Juanjuan. Do you understand?" Siming said, looking at the rearview mirror.

"I understand. I will tell the brothers today." Adjutant Qi said immediately in a serious tone.

When the carriage arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the housekeeper hurried over: "Governor, the old lady has returned home."
