Chapter 241 Return to the Gambling Stone Market
Zhong Nianyao looked at the receptionist with a bad expression, "Didn't you hear me? I said, you're blocking my way."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, obviously she hadn't expected such an answer. She had assumed that the other person was a girl and might be soft-hearted, so she came to plead for mercy.
However, even so, she still did not give up. "Miss, just consider this as helping me this time. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. I know I was wrong this time, but I really didn't mean it. I really need this job. My younger brother is still in college. If I don't have this job, he won't be able to afford his living expenses and tuition."
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Zhong Nianyao's face was filled with indifference. "If you think your job is so important, why do you make mistakes? You are already an adult, and every adult must be responsible for their own actions."
After hearing such cold words, the receptionist looked at Zhong Nianyao with a look of resignation in her eyes. "I already know I'm wrong, why can't you be magnanimous and forgive me this time? You're trying to kill me, aren't you?"
If she left this hotel, not only would she never be able to find such a good job again, but her future job search would also be subject to many restrictions. If other hotels knew that she was fired by her current hotel, they would definitely not be willing to hire her.
"Is this moral kidnapping?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "If you really can't survive because you lost this job, that's your own business and has nothing to do with me. Besides, you lost this job yourself, so you are the culprit."
For a moment, the receptionist couldn't say anything to refute.
"Why waste so much time arguing with her?" Lu Yichen pulled Zhong Nianyao and said, "Just ask the security to kick her out."
The receptionist wanted to say something, but after seeing Lu Yichen's cold eyes, all the words on the tip of her tongue could not be uttered.
Soon, Lu Yichen took Zhong Nian Yao and walked straight forward.
I don’t know if she figured it out or had some other ideas, but the receptionist didn’t continue to beg Zhong Nianyao.
Over the next few days, Zhong Nianyao changed her plan and did not continue to go to the gambling stone market. Instead, she went sightseeing. It was not until she was about to return home that she went to the gambling stone market again.
Her original purpose this time was to find a few more good raw stones, and then go back to carve a few more amulets to give to the people around her.
However, because there were some problems with the jade mine, Lu Yichen needed to go and deal with it, so he didn't have time to accompany Zhong Nian Yao.
Zhong Nianyao originally planned to go alone, but at Lu Yichen's insistence, she took Allen with her. Lu Yichen was right about one thing, that is, it is good to bring someone to help carry things.
She thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, what she was buying was not an ordinary thing, and it would be difficult to carry it by herself.
Unlike her first visit, Zhong Nianyao was much faster this time. She bought the rough stones this time as if she was picking cabbages. She bought whatever she liked.
Of course, she was very restrained and only picked out five raw stones.
After selecting the raw stones, Alan pushed the cart and followed Zhong Nian Yao to cut the stones.
Zhong Nian Yao did not choose again and went straight to the stall of the stone-cutting master from last time and asked the master to help her cut the stone.
This time, without Lu Yichen to help her mark the lines, she let the gambling stone master do it himself.
Two hours later, the jade gambling master was surrounded by people, not for any other reason but because this was the third piece of jade he had opened.
Zhong Nianyao selected a total of five raw stones, and three of them have been opened now. All three contain jadeite, and all of them are top-quality jadeite.
More and more people gathered around, and everyone wanted to see how many of the five stones were green.
However, no one around was bidding, not because they didn't want to, but because Zhong Nian Yao had said at the beginning that she would not sell any of the jadeite she had unearthed.
When the first piece of jade was sold, many people started bidding. But seeing that Zhong Nianyao didn't react at all, and even ignored them, everyone gave up and started asking for money.
Although Zhong Nianyao didn't plan to sell the jadeite, this didn't dampen the excitement of those around her. They really wanted to see how many more jadeite pieces would be mined next, and what kind of jadeite they would be.
Even if you can't own it, it's worth it to be able to see so many top-quality jadeite.
Especially those who come here, many of them are people who like jade.
Allen, who had been standing beside Zhong Nianyao like a protective angel, also changed his expression from shock at the beginning to calmness now.
When the first piece of rough stone yielded jadeite, he was astonished. When the second piece came out, he was already shocked. By the third piece, he was able to face it calmly. Even if the remaining two pieces also yielded top-grade jadeite, he would be able to face it calmly.
However, when he looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were full of admiration. He couldn't help but wonder if Zhong Nianyao had X-ray vision or some other ability that could allow her to see what was inside the rough stone.
Otherwise, how could every piece produce jadeite, and all of them were top-grade jadeite!
Time passed minute by minute, and as the last piece of raw stone turned out to be imperial green, everyone looked at Zhong Nian Yao with undisguised shock.
When the people around looked at Zhong Nianyao, their expressions had changed drastically. Compared to the five pieces of top-grade jadeite, they now valued Zhong Nianyao as a person more.
We selected five pieces of raw stones, and all of them turned out to be top-grade jadeite. Such a chance can no longer be described by the word "lucky".
Among them were some powerful people who began to think about how to win over Zhong Nian Yao.
Of course, if they couldn't win her over, they wouldn't mind using some special means. If someone with such special abilities could be used for their own purposes, it was obvious what they could gain. Moreover, this was a stunning beauty. To have both wealth and beauty was a dream.
Facing all kinds of gazes from those people, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged.
