Chapter 120 Even the Stones Are Grabbed
Lin Xi was quite dissatisfied with Lao Chen who suddenly jumped out. He clearly didn't say that just now, but now he changed the rules temporarily.
"I say, why are you like this? You change the rules to suit your own advantage. Isn't this intentional bullying?" Lin Xi pointed at Lao Chen's nose and cursed.
Old Chen had never been scolded by a little girl before, but at this moment he didn't want to care about it at all.
He has been in the world for more than ten years. Besides his smarts, he also has an extraordinary intuition.
Many times, whether a project is good or a business can make money depends on his own intuition.
When Feng Miao was selecting stones, an indescribable fear suddenly surged in his heart. He always felt that Feng Miao was not bragging and she really had the ability to pick out stones with jade.
This feeling has no basis and no reason, but it has never been wrong over the years.
Lao Chen felt that if he didn't think of a solution, he might be defeated.
"Boss Chen didn't say anything like that just now." Feng Miao said calmly.
"This is our unspoken rule. I just suddenly remembered that you are from Beijing, so I reminded you specifically." said Old Chen.
His words were quickly recognized by others.
Everyone agreed with what Lao Chen said, it was clear that they were banding together to bully outsiders.
Lin Xi was very angry, but Xiao Yongyan calmly squeezed her hand and signaled her to calm down.
Feng Miao said, "In this case, what does Boss Chen want to do?"
"According to the rules, I should be the first to choose." said Lao Chen.
Lin Xi stood beside Feng Miao and suddenly stepped back. Feng Miao understood what he meant and said, "Please."
Old Chen was extremely puzzled. Why did this woman give in so easily? Could it be that the stone she chose did not contain jade?
It was hard to explain. Old Chen walked to the pile of stones, his mind in a mess. In the end, he decided to trust his feelings and pointed at the jade that Lin Xi had just picked out, "This is it."
As soon as Old Chen finished speaking, Lin Xi jumped out and said, "How can you be like this? This stone was obviously chosen by our wife, how can you choose one!"
Old Chen was indeed a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Lin Xi's reaction, he suddenly felt much more relieved.
The little girl’s reaction was so big, which meant there must be something inside the stone.
Old Chen was extremely excited. Could it be that today was the day he would get rich?
Feng Miao said, "Boss Chen has finished choosing, is it my turn to choose next?"
"Madam, please. I, Old Chen, will never disturb you." Old Chen, with a hint of excitement on his face, stepped aside. He felt that there would be no more powerful stone in this broken stone.
Feng Miao and the other two came to the pile of stones again. Lin Xi stuck close to Feng Miao and said, "Madam, the one just now was picked up by someone. We have to find another one."
Lin Xi's face was full of worry, and anyone who saw her would think that she was bound to lose today.
Only Xiao Yongyan followed behind the whole time, remaining extremely calm.
Lin Xi stood near the stone he had just seen, pointed at a large stone and said, "Miss, this stone is so big, the probability of jade must be high, why don't we choose the largest one."
She even put some emphasis on the word "biggest". Others might not care, but Feng Miao had been trained since childhood and could immediately discern Lin Xi's true intentions from her tone.
Just as Lin Xi thought, Feng Miao pointed to the smallest stone in the pile and said, "This is it."
Lin Xi's tone was slightly exaggerated, "Madam, are you sure?"
When Feng Miao heard the tone, she was sure that this was the stone that the young lady wanted her to choose, and said firmly, "Sure, please open it, Master."
Both of them had already chosen their stones, and other bosses came over to watch.
They wanted to see if this lady who suddenly appeared was as powerful as she said.
"You two, whose stone should we open first?" asked the guy from Shenxianju.
Old Chen looked at Feng Miao, then at his own stone, and said, "I'll go first."
Soon, the guy arranged for someone to carry the stone to the master.
In ancient times, there were no cutting tools like we have today, so the process of cutting stones was quite long.
I saw the master chiseling the stone slowly, not in a hurry at all.
What no one expected was that Lao Chen's stone revealed a hint of unusual smell shortly after it was smashed.
As the chisel went deeper, the color of the jade gradually emerged.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, and Old Chen's eyes were even wider, staring at the stone motionlessly.
I saw that piece of jade was getting bigger and bigger. The experienced master smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen, the material in this stone is pretty good. You made a lot of money!"
Old Chen stared at the exposed jade for a long time, with the smile on his face growing wider and wider. He touched it and found that it was indeed jade.
Although it has not been polished, the touch is clearly that of jade.
"I got it?" Old Chen murmured.
The people around him were even more excited than Lao Chen. “Lao Chen, what luck you have! You must treat us today.”
Old Chen confirmed the fact of Yu again from everyone's words. His mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. He waved his hand and said, "Please, everyone here, I will treat you!"
The scene was filled with a celebratory atmosphere, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the presence of Feng Miao and the other three.
After celebrating for a while, Lao Chen finally came back to his senses from his great joy, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot that the second piece of jade you chose has not been opened yet. I'm really lucky, just lucky, thank you for letting me."
Lin Xi turned his face away and said, "What's so great about it? It's just ordinary jade."
Although it is ordinary jade material, the price of jade is volatile, and you can make a lot of money from ordinary material.
Old Chen took a look at the material chosen by Lin Xi and the others. It was a small piece of stone that looked as ordinary as it could be.
He would never believe that jade could be mined from such a stone.
"It's actually nothing, just ten taels of silver, what's the big deal?" said Old Chen.
"It's a waste to spend a penny on you," Lin Xi said without any hesitation, "Master, please open our stone."
The guy took Lao Chen's material off the table and put the stone selected by Lin Xi on the table.
The old master smashed out some stones and his expression gradually became serious. Old Chen's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the material of this lady was better than his.
The old master chiseled again, and gradually a thin crack appeared, which seemed to be the color of jade, but also seemed not to be.
The old master didn't dare to neglect it, and suddenly put down what he was holding, "I'll go change a chisel."
This time he changed to a small chisel and hammered with much less force, and began to hammer out along the crack little by little.
Gradually, the translucent jade inside appeared, and the master's face was more excited than ever before, "I haven't seen such good material in decades!"
