Even when death was imminent, he still had the confidence to turn the tide.
Master Wang was afraid that the incident wasn't serious enough, so he placed his hands parallel to the ground and pressed down: "Everyone, I would like to ask you to help me bear witness."
"We agreed beforehand that the party with the less valuable gambling stone would need to wear a sign around their neck and walk around the gambling stone market five times. From the looks of it now, it seems like we're deliberately bullying them, but after all, both parties agreed to it, so breaking the contract at the last minute wouldn't be a good idea..."
It is human nature to love to watch the fun.
As soon as these words were spoken, they all started to jeer: "Master Wang is right. As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. We will definitely supervise carefully and will not show partiality to anyone."
Li Xiujun originally thought that perhaps the old man was influenced by the dead scumbag.
Looking at it now, there is no influence at all. The two people are completely birds of a feather.
The two stone-cutting masters finally got to the last piece of raw stone. When they put down their tools, their hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and they wiped the sweat from their foreheads together.
The results are obvious.
Gu Ming's emotions, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally burst out: "Third Uncle, tell me, why did you have to be so stubborn with Master Wang? We could have settled it privately, but now it has become like this. It's not that your nephew won't help you, but there are so many people watching..."
After borrowing a brush, Master Wang picked up a tattered piece of wood and quickly wrote on it, "I am not as good as Master Wang."
He kindly poked nails into both ends and even hung a rope he got from somewhere and threw it in front of them.
Seeing that the two men didn't move, he said sternly: "No matter what, you can't go back on your word. If I were the loser, I would definitely fulfill my promise immediately."
The crowd of onlookers were eager for more after-dinner jokes and kept urging him to come on.
"That's right. Even someone as famous as Master Wang dares to do what he says. You two nobodys, since you can't do it, actually dare to agree to the bet. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you tell others about it?"
"It's just a sign and a few laps. Can you please hurry up? I'm in a hurry to pick out the rough stones."
Li Xiujun couldn't help but retort, "If you can do it, then go ahead. It's just a matter of hanging a sign. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that if you go too late, the King of Hell won't let you reincarnate?"
The man was silent for a moment, feeling humiliated by the woman's scolding, and retorted, "It wasn't me who made the bet with him. Instead of arguing with me, you might as well hang up the sign."
There was booing all around.
Master Wang wanted to add fuel to the fire and casually announced his name.
"After all, he's from the Gu family. He's not like this in business. He's so dishonest. Who knows how many companies he's deceived behind the scenes?"
If everyone was just there to watch the fun, the noise and commotion became even louder after hearing the words "Gu family".
Even if you are not a native of Beijing, you know the influence of Gu Enterprises across the country.
Gu Ming never thought that since he never mentioned his background during the whole process, how did this person know their identities?
The most important thing is that exposing Third Uncle as a member of the Gu family was not part of their plan at all.
No matter what, he and Master Wang were on the same page at the moment, so he could only go along with what he was saying: "Hurry up, the longer you delay, the bigger the trouble will be."
Li Xiujun dug her nails tightly into her palms, regretting her bad luck as she picked up useless garbage.
"Master Wang, are you serious?" Gu Qingming reached out and smoothed her clenched hands. "If you were the loser, would you immediately fulfill your promise?"
At this moment, Master Wang's heart was filled with the pride of wanting to trample him under his feet, without even thinking: "Of course, I will never dilly-dally like you."
It has come to this point, how can there be any turning point?
Until a person walked in from outside the crowd.
The man was holding a sandalwood tray and respectfully stopped beside Gu Qingming and greeted him, "Boss Gu, here is your rough stone."
Li Xiujun recognized him at a glance. He was the young man who had communicated with her uncle before.
Master Wang also recognized the young man's identity and suddenly realized: "The person in charge of the stone luck? Even if you have connections and support, the bet was made between us after all. If the person in charge interferes, it would be unjust and unreasonable."
Having said that, he felt very uneasy inside.
If the person in charge of the gambling stone market really gets involved in this matter, no matter how unwilling he is, he will have to give up.
Suddenly I thought, what did he shout just now?
Boss Gu?
His pupils trembled violently, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he anxiously asked for confirmation: "The boss Gu you just called is the one who opened three ice jadeite in one go?"
Anyone who is into gambling on stones has heard of the name of Boss Gu.
When Gu Qingming accompanied Jian Guochao to the gambling stone market, he picked up a few raw stones at random. Three of them were seed jade, and the rest were either clear water, purple water, or had green flowers floating on the bottom of the water.
After that, every time I come here, the raw stones I pick up are definitely high-end jadeite.
Although we have rarely heard from Boss Gu in recent years, all the stone gambling players still regard him as a respected figure.
"Could there be another Boss Gu?"
The person in charge asked impatiently, then turned to look at Gu Qingming, and immediately changed his expression, with a smile on his face: "Do you think I should call some professional craftsmen to handle this rough stone, or do you take it back and process it yourself?"
The jade he cut out each time was so eye-catching that he would take it away with him whenever he came back.
Master Wang knew that this piece of raw stone would definitely be worth ten pieces combined after being cut.
They say that, but if they really hang a sign around their necks, they probably won’t have the face to step into the gambling stone market for the rest of their lives, and they will be ridiculed for the rest of their lives.
Thinking of the irreversible consequences, he apologized humbly: "Boss Gu, all the mistakes are my fault. Your rough stone has exceeded the time stipulated in the bet. Why don't we both take a step back and treat today's incident as an accident."
"I will cover all the costs of the raw stones you buy. I'll treat you to a meal later. Just consider it a favor I owe you."
He had a very good plan. He could not only expose the matter of the bet, but also get to know Boss Gu. At most, he would be spitted at by the crowd.
The mouth is on someone else's body, but you won't lose any arms or legs because of it.
Gu Ming was caught off guard by this series of unexpected events.
Although I don’t know what kind of amazing experience the Boss Gu they are talking about has, I can be sure that Uncle San definitely has an extraordinary identity.
Fortunately, he wanted to use this opportunity to severely dampen the opponent's fighting spirit and highlight his own strength.
It seems that I have become a foil to my third uncle again.
In addition, since I have exposed the Gu family’s affairs, I will definitely be scolded by my grandfather when I go back home at night.
