"This... President... can you reimburse me?" Assistant Liu looked at Xiao Mo, his meaning clear.
That's 100,000 yuan! And he bought this dull, gray stone?! His heart is bleeding!! He's not interested in gambling on stones! The so-called "one cut to poverty, one cut to riches" is just a gambler's mentality; he'd rather earn money honestly and steadily…
Seeing Liu's unpredictable expression, she felt a little embarrassed and stopped teasing him.
"Let's go see what good stuff Zhang Zhe Kai has his eye on from the rough stones." Yun Qi said to Assistant Liu, then pointed to Xiao Mo and said, "Don't worry, my husband is here, isn't he? Honey, you should give your opinion too."
"Assistant Liu, when you cut it out later, if there's a loss, it's on me; if there's a profit, it's yours."
"Thank you, President!" Assistant Liu said with a sigh of relief.
Finally, a fist-sized piece of green, floating-flower icy jadeite was cut out.
Onlooker m: "I cut it several times and there was nothing inside. I thought it was a dud. I never expected there to be such a big piece of icy jade inside!"
A bystander commented, "This piece is so big, it could yield at least two ice bracelets!"
Onlookers exclaimed: "What a steal! This piece of material is worth at least a million, more than ten times its original value!!"
"Sir, are you selling this jade? I'll buy it for a million!"
"I'll take it for 1.1 million!! I can transfer the money immediately!!"
"..."
Assistant Liu looked incredulous: "I... I made a profit?!"
"Yes, we found some jadeite. The quality is pretty good. Do you want to sell it?"
Assistant Liu was somewhat tempted, and he looked at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo said, "I said before that if we lost money, it would be on me, and if we made money, it would be yours. Now it's yours, so you can sell it if you want."
Finally, Assistant Liu sold the jade to the person who had asked for 1.1 million. Looking at the text message notification that the money had been deposited into his account, Assistant Liu was still a little dazed...
As expected, "one cut makes you poor, another cut makes you rich." You spent 100,000 yuan and made 1.1 million yuan. Who wouldn't be tempted?!
However, such luck doesn't come around often; it's good enough if it happens even once. Assistant Liu was quite philosophical about it; he only bought it after his wife suggested it. He knew when to stop! He wasn't greedy! He wouldn't gamble on stones again unless his wife urged him to…
"Thank you, Madam!"
Yunqi grinned, "Why thank me? Wasn't this picked by Zhang Zhekai? He has a good eye; he picked something good just 'randomly'..."
Those who listened attentively immediately recalled that Zhang Zhe Kai had initially taken a liking to the stone... and some of them became interested.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhekai was somewhat gloomy after hitting a wall twice.
The little girl looked at Zhang Zhe Kai anxiously; it was the first time she had ever seen him so out of control. "Zhe Kai, are you alright?"
Zhang Zhe Kai rubbed his eyes, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. He softened his voice and said, "It's okay, I'll show you around this jade trade fair."
Unbeknownst to him, a group of curious onlookers were secretly following behind him, waiting to snag a bargain...
Zhang Zhekai felt that this trade fair had come too late; most of the good rough stones had already been selected. He had already looked at quite a few, but there wasn't much of value among them. The only slightly better piece had been snatched up by someone else!
Zhang Zhekai was angry but helpless... he could only continue selecting raw materials.
The reason we decided to gamble on rough jade was because the company was short of funds. Fully exposed and semi-exposed stones are expensive, so to save money, we opted for rough stones first. If we could find good rough stones, we'd make a profit! But... we were somewhat disappointed...
Zhang Zhekai didn't give up, enduring the soreness in his eyes as he continued to examine the raw materials...
Finally, I found a decent piece of raw jade.
The smile had just appeared on Zhang Zhe Kai's face when he was about to call the waiter to pay the bill... when he was immediately bumped aside by a burly man next to him. The burly man ordered his henchman to move the piece of material and said, "I'll buy this piece of material!"
Zhang Zhekai staggered for a moment, and as soon as he regained his balance, he saw several burly men moving the stone he had his eye on.
He was both angry and somewhat bewildered: "I was the one who had my eye on this piece first!"
The burly man said in a sleazy tone, "So what if you like it? It's not yours until you pay for it. Just because you haven't bought it doesn't mean someone else can't!"
"You!! You did this on purpose!!"
"I did it on purpose, what can you do about it?!"
"You!!" Zhang Zhekai was furious. Ever since he gained X-ray vision and shone brightly at the last jade trade fair, many wealthy and famous people came to befriend him and treated him with great respect... which greatly satisfied his vanity.
These burly men don't take him seriously at all... and all he can do is get angry...
At this moment, he felt that his X-ray vision was useless. If only he had gained a lethal power, he could teach these people a good lesson...
Zhang Zhekai's fists were clenched tightly...
The innocent-looking girl tugged at Zhang Zhe Kai's sleeve, hiding behind him in fear...
Yun Qi watched from afar and noticed that the purple aura around Zhang Zhe Kai had faded a bit, while the black aura had thickened...
Sensing Yun Qi's sudden change, Xiao Mo asked, "Little Qi'er, what's wrong?"
Yun Qi said softly, "Zhang Zhe Kai's purple aura has diminished, and his black aura has thickened. It seems his luck has weakened."
"Can Xiao Qi'er see other people's fortune?"
"Um."
"What about mine?"
“I can’t see them,” Yunqi shook her head and said, “Everyone else can see them except yours and mine.”
Xiao Mo hugged Yun Qi tightly: "So, am I the only one who's 'special' like Xiao Qi'er?"
That makes sense, doesn't it?
Yunqi nodded: "Yes."
However, isn't this focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn't we be asking questions like, "Why is there dark energy on Zhang Zhe Kai?" or "Why has his luck weakened?"...
