Chapter 46 Stone King
Boss Chen said directly: "Just buy stones, don't make up these excuses!"
Xu Youyou laughed dryly and said, "Then don't ask for too much. You'll scare me away. I wonder how you can make money."
Boss Chen glanced at the stone and said, "Five million."
"Old Chen, this is where you're wrong. The previous stone was only 500,000, and as soon as you saw that I wanted it, you increased the price tenfold. Aren't you trying to discourage me?" Xu Youyou said.
Boss Chen said, "It's just right that you don't buy it. What kind of stuff can you like? I'll keep it for myself and open a business slowly. Maybe I won't need to open this store when I make enough money."
Xu Youyou didn't believe it and said, "Once you get into gambling on stones, it's like being in a deep sea. I don't believe you're willing to close such a good store."
Boss Chen did not refute this, but just looked up and down at the rough stone that Xu Youyou liked: "The color and texture, they all look good. I am not asking you for five million just to fool you. Purchasing goods, logistics, house rent, personnel management, etc. all cost money. I don't make any money at this price."
Xu Youyou was still trying to lower the price: "Half price, two million."
Boss Chen said, "If you want to bargain like that, then I won't sell it. It's not like it can't be sold."
Xu Youyou's eyes seemed to be glued to the stone, and she said helplessly: "Alright, five million is five million. I can't let this stone be robbed again. I'm counting on it to make a fortune..."
But before he could finish his words, Lu Shaoyan said, "Five and a half million, I'll buy it."
Xu Youyou glared at him. If she was only a little bit angry when the five hundred thousand worth of stone was robbed before, then now the anger in her eyes was almost sprayed directly on Lu Shaoyan's face.
Xu Youyou deliberately said angrily: "Mr. Lu, you are really a man who is willing to risk his life for the sake of his beloved. Just because of the trivial matter between me and Gu Xueying, you want to cut off my source of income?"
When Lu Shaoyan heard this, the doubt in his eyes almost became real. He turned his head and looked at Gu Xueying: "Do you know each other?"
Boss Chen on the side also looked like he was enjoying the show, looking at Xu Youyou for a while, then at Gu Xueying.
Gu Xueying bit her lower lip. What she cared about most was her identity as the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She didn't dare to let Xu Youyou continue speaking.
"Since Miss Xu wants it, let's not fight over this stone to avoid hurting the relationship." Gu Xueying persuaded Lu Shaoyan.
The curiosity in Lu Shaoyan's eyes did not stop. He did not want to give it to Xu Youyou, and said: "In the business world, the one with the highest bid always wins. Why should I give it to others? I just like this stone."
Xu Youyou said: "Gu Xueying, I am not very careful with my words. If I say some things, I am afraid that everyone will be embarrassed."
Gu Xueying was suddenly extremely anxious. She was afraid that outsiders would know her true identity, and she was also afraid that Xu Youyou would talk nonsense without caring about the consequences.
"I will persuade Shaoyan, Miss Xu. Although the highest bidder wins, there is still a first come first served rule for everything. Don't worry, we understand the rules." Gu Xueying was almost begging.
Xu Youyou waited patiently for her persuasion.
Gu Xueying pulled Lu Shaoyan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Shaoyan, let her go this time. Just think of it as doing it for me, okay?"
Lu Shaoyan frowned and asked, "Why let her? She has been against us since she came in. Why are you afraid of her?"
Although Gu Xueying is Lu Shaoyan's goddess, Lu Shaoyan never thinks of himself as a bootlicker. He cares more about what kind of evidence Gu Xueying has in Xu Youyou's hands than outsiders.
How could Gu Xueying possibly tell him the truth? She just pretended to be about to cry: "It's not convenient for me to tell others about family matters... Dad and Miss Xu... She has a deep misunderstanding..."
What Gu Xueying said was ambiguous and even deliberately led people to some bad speculation.
Lu Shaoyan turned his head and looked at Xu Youyou again. She was young, beautiful and full of energy. Such a girl had a fatal attraction to old men.
He inevitably thought of the canary his father raised outside, and his eyes were filled with contempt when he looked at Xu Youyou.
"Since you've already spoken, I'll give in to her. You know, I can never refuse your request." Lu Shaoyan said.
When he said this, he completely ignored the fact that it was Xu Youyou who first set his eyes on the stone, and he was just a Cheng Yaojin who suddenly showed up.
Xu Youyou paid Boss Chen readily.
Boss Chen was still a little reluctant, but when he saw Xu Youyou really paid, he kept asking, "Do you really think highly of this stone? Otherwise, I won't sell it to you..."
Xu Youyou glared: "How come you, a banker, are also addicted to gambling?"
Boss Chen smiled awkwardly, but finally took the money and asked, "Do you want to open the stone you bought now?"
Xu Youyou said: "I know it's not easy for you to run a business, so I must open it on the spot to take care of you. It's just right for us to be together, so that you can have some fun."
Boss Chen seemed to be really persuaded by Xu Youyou. He turned to look at Lu Shaoyan and Gu Xueying and asked, "Have you two made your choice? What do you think of Miss Xu's suggestion?"
Gu Xueying frowned slightly. Because of her background, she instinctively regarded Xu Youyou as a competitor. She still remembered vividly what happened at the last auction. Now that Lu Shaoyan was by her side, she didn't want to be slapped in the face.
But before she could speak, Lu Shaoyan said first: "Okay, I also want to see Miss Xu's skills."
Lu Shaoyan was never willing to give up. He also wanted to see what could be found out of Xu Youyou's five million stone.
"Xueying, don't worry. When the jade I mine is more expensive than Xu Youyou's, it will be like venting your anger." Lu Shaoyan said shamelessly.
He completely forgot that just over ten minutes ago, he was pestering Xu Youyou to help him pick up stones.
"Shaoyan, I believe in your abilities. You will definitely be better than Miss Xu, but what if... what if you lose, I'm afraid others will laugh at you..." Gu Xueying pretended to believe in Lu Shaoyan.
She forgot that what this kind of male chauvinist hates most is being questioned by others.
Lu Shaoyan pointed directly at a stone beside him and said, "Boss Chen, I want this stone."
Boss Chen was delighted and said, "This stone is worth 10 million. It is the king of stones here. Master Lu, are you sure you want it?"
Lu Shaoyan didn't want to be questioned about his financial resources in front of the goddess, so he said, "I'll transfer the money now."
Boss Chen was extremely happy at this moment. This piece of stone had actually been in the warehouse for a while, but because the price was too high, even though several people were optimistic about it, no one had made up their minds to buy it.
"Now that everyone has chosen, let's go outside and untie these stones. Who will go first?" asked Boss Chen.
Lu Shaoyan pretended to be serious at this time: "Ladies first."
Xu Youyou was not polite and said, "When we were grabbing the stone, I didn't hear the words 'ladies first'. Who are you telling this to now?"
