Chapter 1074: Money Makes You Willful
Again, if Gu Ning picks one, the chance of it turning out green is extremely high.
Therefore, I missed out on this jadeite with a very high chance of producing green, which I had won in the bidding with Gu Ning.
Of course, only a few people knew that the raw material chosen by Gu Ning had a high chance of producing green jade. These people were those who knew that she was the boss of [Jade Beauty Jewelry], and those who had seen Gu Ning unravel many pieces of jade with their own eyes.
Because Gu Ning had so many targets, it took him a long time to read them.
Even after Gu Ning finished reading out the numbers of the raw materials she had invested in, everyone was still a little dazed, because she had actually invested in three hundred and forty-six.
Yes, among the 346 bids Gu Ning invested in, 146 of them were storefronts and 200 were street stalls.
Because there were more stalls, Gu Ning divided 200 of them over, which was about the same number as Leng Shaoting's.
Actually, it was not unusual to bid one or two hundred, but the problem was that she bid high for each one. In total, she spent more than 10 million star dollars, which would be nearly 100 million in the United Kingdom of Dipudongxia currency. It was true that having money meant being willful.
Of course, what they don’t know is that Gu Ning is willful not because he has money, but because he has jade pupils.
None of the bids Gu Ning placed were lost. Although many people bid the same bid as her, they were all defeated by her high price.
“Uncle, we have several pieces that overlap with Miss Gu. With her ability, the chance of getting green is very high. So, we have missed out on the rough materials with a very high chance of getting green. And for the others that don’t overlap, is the chance of getting green very small?” Zhang Bingsheng said worriedly. Although he didn’t believe that all the pieces that Gu Ning picked were jadeite, or that Gu Ning picked all the rough materials with jadeite, but because Gu Ning’s ability was indeed great, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Zhang Dequan said, but even though he said no, he was still a little worried. But even if that was the case, he didn't mean to blame Gu Ning, because he didn't have the right to do so.
Moreover, this was originally a secret bid, so it all depends on your ability and money.
So no matter whether it would happen or not, Zhang Bingsheng just sighed.
"Humph! She really thinks she can do anything! She bought so much, it would be better if she loses everything!"
The Lu family was right next to the Zhang family. Lu Weiwei heard what Zhang Dequan and Zhang Bingsheng said, but she was not convinced and even cursed them.
She didn't believe that Gu Ning had the ability to do so. Most of the rough materials that she took a fancy to would produce jadeite, and she didn't want the rough materials she invested in to produce jadeite.
"Weiwei, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" Lu Weili immediately scolded. Although he thought and hoped so in his heart, he couldn't say it.
Although he didn't think Gu Ning was really that great, but since he was praised so highly by Zhang Dequan, he must be really capable.
Therefore, the Lu family also had a number of raw materials that overlapped with Gu Ning's bidding, so no matter whether Gu Ning was as good as Zhang Dequan said, they were naturally unhappy.
Regardless of Gu Ning's ability, the candidates they invested in were all carefully selected, so they all had some confidence.
If there is no jade inside, the money spent on bidding for the rough material is not much, and they will not feel sad if they lose. But if there is jade inside the rough material, then they will feel that they have lost a lot, because if it weren't for Gu Ning, the rough material with jade would be theirs.
But no matter what, it's of no avail.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting naturally heard what Lu Weiwei said, but they didn't say anything because her hope was destined to be dashed.
Not only Lu Weiwei hopes that Gu Ning will compensate her in full, many people also hope so, because people are selfish and want to be good to themselves and not to be good to others.
Especially Tang Yaxin, her desire for Gu Ning to pay all the compensation was just as great as Lu Weiwei's. She just didn't like Gu Ning.
After Gu Ning, it was Leng Shaoting's turn, because Leng Shaoting's order was submitted together with Gu Ning's.
When they heard the host read out Leng Shaoting's name, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin were stunned and looked at Leng Shaoting with surprise and inquiry.
Could it be that he is...
Although they did not know Leng Shaoting, as people from the upper class of the capital, they knew the name 'Leng Shaoting', the eldest grandson of the Leng family in the capital, and also held a high position in the army with the rank of major general.
Leng Shaoting's identity is known to everyone in the upper class, but only a few people have seen him.
Because Leng Shaoting never appears in high society circles and stays in the army all year round.
Despite this, the name Leng Shaoting is still well-known.
Although the world is big and there are many people with the same name and surname, the only one who can be with the Xu family and be called Leng Shaoting is the eldest grandson of the Leng family, because the second son of the Xu family, Xu Jingchen, also served in the army and held a high position.
Qi Ziyue had long realized from Leng Shaoting's temperament that he was not an ordinary person, but he had never imagined that his background was so powerful. So when he confirmed his identity, Qi Ziyue was shocked.
Tang Yaxin was also shocked, but after the shock, she was filled with envy and jealousy. She was envious and jealous of Gu Ning, the girl she hated, who was actually with Major General Leng, who had a great family background and powerful abilities.
At the beginning, although Tang Yaxin was amazed by Leng Shaoting's appearance, she did not like him because of Gu Ning. But now, her mood towards Leng Shaoting has changed. She thinks he is a heavenly man, which makes her admire, respect, and love him.
Before, when she heard about Leng Shaoting, she had admired him and regarded him as an idol. She also wanted to hook up with him, but she never had the chance to meet him.
She didn't expect that when they met, he was with the girl she hated, which naturally made her feel very unbalanced.
Because Qi Ziyue was shocked by Leng Shaoting's identity, he did not notice the change in Tang Yaxin's expression. If he had noticed, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting both felt the gazes of Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin, and knew that they must have recognized Leng Shaoting, but they didn't care. Leng Shaoting's identity was not deliberately hidden, otherwise they would not have directly registered the bid using Leng Shaoting's identity.
This time, before reading out the numbers, the host read out the number first. Leng Shaoting won 321.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. 321, this is only a few dozen less than Gu Ning.
And if they win more bids, it means that many people will fail in their bids.
