Chapter 2561 Can I Compare with You
"Yes, that's what I said..." Zhao Rong responded, feeling secretly delighted. He thought that once Kang Shaojie knew that Gu Ning had extracted three jades from five rough stones, he would definitely drive her out to prevent her from extracting any jades.
For a villain, he will feel that many people are like him and are villains.
"Oh! Who is it?" Kang Shaojie asked.
"It's Miss Gu," Zhao Rong said, pointing at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning, however, was extremely calm when facing Zhao Rong who was targeting him. He was not afraid at all that Zhao Rong's plan would succeed.
If this store really kicked her out because of Zhao Rong's words, she would just leave. At worst, she could come back with a different identity, buy out all the jadeite here, and then go to Kang's warehouse and buy more on the pretext of wholesale.
Hearing this, Kang Shaojie looked at Gu Ning. He was first stunned by her beauty, and then surprised by her age.
Zhao Rong said that it was so surprising that this girl, who looked to be about 20 years old, could sort out three rough jades out of five rough materials, and he couldn't help but question it in his heart.
However, although there were doubts, there was no sarcasm or disdain.
"Miss, you got three jadeites out of five rough stones in Teng City?" Kang Shaojie asked. His attitude and tone were very polite, without any sharpness, just inquiry and curiosity.
"Yes," Gu Ning readily admitted. This was not a secret, so why couldn't he admit it? Also, because Kang Shaojie had a good attitude, Gu Ning's attitude was also very good.
"I can't believe that Miss Gu is so capable at such a young age! It's really admirable!" Kang Shaojie said without any perfunctory meaning. He really admired her. No matter whether Gu Ning was lucky or talented, she was able to do something that few people could do.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kang," Gu Ning responded politely.
"If Miss Gu doesn't mind, can I compete with you? Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand, I have no intention of provoking Miss Gu, it's just that it's rare to meet someone who can make three jades out of five rough materials, so I want to see Miss Gu's skills." Kang Shaojie said, fearing that Gu Ning would misunderstand, he made a special explanation.
Kang Shaojie did not mean to provoke, but he did have ulterior motives. However, Kang Shaojie believed that this so-called ulterior motive had no malicious intent, and it was just that some things forced him to do so.
However, other people may not think that Kang Shaojie is not provocative, especially Zhao Rong, who knows Kang Shaojie.
However, they know Kang Shaojie, but they may not understand Kang Shaojie. They know that Kang Shaojie is also very good at gambling on stones. Although he does not have a record as good as Gu Ning, it is not certain that Gu Ning has such a record. It is not certain that it will be like this every time.
Anyway, most people think that Gu Ning was able to make three jades out of five rough stones because of luck.
As for the others, they didn't favor anyone in their hearts, they just wanted to see who would win. However, as for Zhao Rong, he naturally hoped that Kang Shaojie would win.
No matter whether Kang Shaojie wins or Gu Ning wins, it has nothing to do with Zhao Rong, but he just doesn't want Gu Ning to win.
"Okay!" Gu Ning also felt that the other party was indeed not provoking him, so she agreed without hesitation. Although in this way, she would not be able to continue to purchase raw materials with her own identity because she would be targeted, but she could change into Tang Aining's appearance, or any other appearance.
Now she is wearing no makeup and casual clothes. If she puts on heavy makeup and dresses maturely, people who are not familiar with her will still not be able to recognize her.
"How does Mr. Kang want to compete?" Gu Ning asked.
"We each choose five raw materials, and then solve them. Whoever solves the raw materials with the highest value wins. To avoid hurting the relationship, let's not make a big bet. Whoever loses will pay for the other party to buy the raw materials. If both lose, then we will each bear the cost. What do you think, Miss Gu?" Kang Shaojie asked.
"Okay, I have no objection." Gu Ning had no objection. From this, it could be seen that Kang Shaojie did not want to profit from this competition. He really just wanted to have a competition with him.
Then, Gu Ning and Kang Shaojie began to select the rough materials respectively. Gu Ning could tell at a glance whether there was jadeite in the rough materials, but in order to avoid too much gossip, he selected slowly.
Gu Ning didn't intend to lose to Kang Shaojie, but he also didn't want to win by too much, so when Kang Shaojie was selecting the rough materials, Gu Ning would inadvertently look over to see if there were any jadeite among the rough materials he selected.
If Kang Shaojie didn't choose the rough material with jadeite, then Gu Ning planned to pick two rough materials with medium-quality jadeite.
It’s just that Kang Shaojie’s movements were very slow, at least for Gu Ning, it was very slow, but for ordinary people, it was not slow, because Kang Shaojie picked one within ten minutes.
Compared to others, it might take more than half an hour to choose one.
The first rough material that Kang Shaojie picked out did not contain any jadeite, and Gu Ning also picked one that did not contain any jadeite.
Because only Baili Zongxue knew that Gu Ning was extremely fast in selecting raw materials, so now Gu Ning's speed in selecting raw materials was slow only in Baili Zongxue's eyes, but in everyone's eyes, it was considered fast.
After about an hour, Kang Shaojie and Gu Ning had selected the rough materials. Gu Ning took a look at the rough materials selected by Kang Shaojie. Among the five rough materials, two of them contained jadeite, but one was medium-quality jadeite and the other was low-quality jadeite.
Such odds and value are very impressive in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with Gu Ning, it is indeed far behind.
However, Gu Ning didn't want to create too big a gap between himself and Kang Shaojie, so he deliberately picked two rough pieces of medium-quality jadeite. However, the difference in value between them and Kang Shaojie's jadeite was almost tens of millions.
Although Gu Ning didn't want the gap between her and Kang Shaojie to be too big, it couldn't be too small either, so as not to give people the impression that she won by luck.
Then, Kang Shaojie and Gu Ning went to cut the stone.
Every time when it comes to cutting the stone, everyone is nervous, even though they know that the chance of cutting out jade is extremely small, so small that it is almost impossible to cut it out.
The first things the two of them picked up were waste materials without jade. Although everyone expected this, they still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
As for the second one, Kang Shaojie took the rough material of low-quality jadeite, while Gu Ning took the rough material of medium-quality jadeite.
