"Who said it exceeded the allotted time?"
Gu Qingming raised his eyebrows slightly, and the glance he gave was cold and ruthless, like a blade flashing with cold light, as if it wanted to dismember his body into pieces.
For some reason, Master Wang felt the intimidation of a superior from this young man who was several decades younger than him.
My heart was pounding, and I rubbed my hands nervously. "Didn't we agree to pick them out within half an hour and bring them to the window opener?"
Although Li Xiujun was a little shocked at first about her third uncle's transformation into Boss Gu, she soon accepted it.
After all, who doesn't have a few secrets in life? If someone is so frank, it will make people doubt their authenticity.
Thinking of what they had said during the discussion, she took advantage of the opportunity to refute.
"At the time, we only said that each person would select ten rough stones. We had half an hour to gather, but there was no time limit for finding stones. You could have asked someone to bring a stone over."
"You! Cough cough cough..."
Master Wang was choked by these words. He was so anxious that he couldn't breathe and the air got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough.
It is indeed as Li Xiujun said, there is no specific time limit for finding the raw stones, and they can also apply for off-site assistance.
A normal person would not think in this way and would naturally regard half an hour as the premise for all restrictions.
Gu Ming was still unwilling to give up. He didn't think that a piece of raw stone could change the huge difference in the amount of money between the two sides. "Master Wang, why should we be afraid of them? It doesn't mean we will lose."
This culprit still has the nerve to say this here.
Master Wang must have regretted it so much. If he had not taken the business at that time, he would not have offended so many people, especially not a big shot like Boss Gu.
For a little money, you sacrifice decades of your future and face. It is obviously a huge loss.
Gu Qingming was too lazy to waste words with them any more. His voice was solemn and cold: "No need to find someone else. We already have a stone-cutting master."
The young stone-cutting master who was called looked around, and after confirming that he was being pointed at, he felt extremely excited.
This is Boss Gu. From now on, I will brag to others that I have helped Boss Gu to break the stone. My worth will increase exponentially.
Trying hard to suppress the urge to scream, he pretended to be calm as he took the tray with both hands, straightened his body, and began to cut the stone with various tools.
Although most of the onlookers were newcomers, there were also a few veterans among them who were so shocked that they were speechless.
Today, not only will they get to meet Boss Gu, but they can also witness the birth of another extraordinary piece of jade?
Who wouldn’t feel like they’ve made a fortune after hearing this?
Thinking of this, his gaze towards the stone-cutting master became even more enthusiastic.
If it were just one or two people, it would be fine, but a large number of eyes were focused on me.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to shine the light to observe the internal structure of the stone.
"It's green, it's green!"
Some people with sharp eyes saw the color revealed on the cut surface and shouted immediately.
Generally speaking, the texture of the inner green is the same as that of the surrounding ground. The better the texture of the base barrier and the purer and more transparent it is, the brighter and more hydrated the green will be.
The stone cutter has handled quite a few raw stones, but this is the first time he has cut out such a good color.
The movements of his hands became more cautious.
A fist-sized, extremely bright, uniform emerald green color caught everyone's eye.
Under strong light, the glass is very shiny and transparent, with almost no impurities visible.
It’s actually an old mine jadeite?
Master Wang was completely dumbfounded and wanted to slap himself hard.
If he hadn't made this Laozi bet, he could have rushed over and established a relationship without thinking twice. Unfortunately, everything was ruined by this bet.
He took a deep breath to prevent himself from fainting, and put on a flattering smile: "You are worthy of being Boss Gu. You are an old hand from the beginning. I am lucky to meet you today."
"Let's be frank. Boss Gu, why don't you make an offer? How can we write off this matter? As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to any request."
He has given it his all. The power of the passage of time will soon erase this incident from his memory.
As long as I can maintain my current reputation and status, any price I pay is worth it.
Gu Qingming tapped his fingertips on the table, his eyes showing no emotion at all: "My condition is to fulfill the bet."
The louder Master Wang shouted just now, the louder the doubts in the crowd are now.
There were many people who couldn't stand his arrogance and took the opportunity to mock him.
"He just said that if he were the loser, he would definitely fulfill his promise immediately. His absolute statement is quite hypocritical."
"Who said it wasn't true? You usually pick on the weak and fear the strong, but you didn't expect to run into such a tough guy this time? Bah, you deserve it. You have the nerve to refuse to pay. You might as well finish it quickly and go back to rest."
"It's like giving him a chance to become famous is a waste. He went there and I don't know how many people would talk about it for months..."
Li Xiujun was well aware of the principle of taking advantage of someone's illness to kill him, so she picked up the wooden board from the ground and added a few strokes on it with a brush.
The original “I’m not as good as Master Wang” instantly turned into “Master Wang is shit”.
She casually threw it into his arms, clapping her hands with a smile, "I have to thank Master Wang for preparing the wooden planks in advance and so thoughtfully hanging the ropes, saving us from having to look for them again. This kind of thought is truly admirable."
It would be strange if you believed her lies.
If he had known that such a reversal would happen later, not only would he have packed up all the wooden boards, brushes, nails and ropes within a ten-mile radius and thrown them far away, not to mention making any preparations.
Unable to beg for mercy, Master Wang placed his hopes on Gu Ming.
"Didn't you say that Boss Gu is your third uncle? Apologize to him sincerely and say a few soft words to see if you can settle this matter."
No matter how ruthless the other party is, he is still his nephew after all. It is impossible for him to be so cruel, right?
Gu Ming frowned and shook his head.
Although they lived under the same roof, they had very few opportunities to interact with each other, and besides, he had said those words not long ago.
He had heard a lot about his uncle's methods, such as his decisiveness and ruthlessness. But since the mistake had already been made, he might as well just follow his lead.
It's just embarrassing to do it in front of the girl I like.
When all the contempt and disdain fell on him, Master Wang finally realized what it felt like to ask for trouble.
Under the double oppression, he was hung on the wooden board with a pale face and a voice as small as a mosquito: "I am a waste..."
"Master Wang, are you hungry?" Li Xiujun covered her mouth and feigned surprise. "My dog barks louder than you."
He could only force out through clenched teeth: "I am a waste!"
