"Sir, this outfit is truly tailor-made for you."
"You're like a prince from a fairy tale," the sales assistant said with a smile.
"To be honest, I've seen a lot of handsome men, but compared to you, they're worlds apart."
"Miss, I really envy you."
"She has such a handsome boyfriend, and the young lady has excellent taste."
The sales assistant's words made Lin Ruoxi even happier.
He was overjoyed, especially when people praised her for her excellent taste.
"Miss, I think this outfit is a perfect match for your boyfriend. It would be such a shame to miss out on it," the sales assistant said.
“Okay, we’ll take this outfit,” Lin Ruoxi said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the sales assistant's face lit up with a bright smile.
This outfit isn't cheap, and the sales assistant gets a substantial commission after the sale; otherwise, why would she be so happy?
Time passed little by little.
Lin Ruoxi then picked out shoes, belts, and other items for Ye Chen, buying quite a lot of things.
After shopping, Lin Ruoxi and Ye Chen strolled around the mall for a while.
She would buy anything that caught her eye immediately.
"Ruoxi, where do you want to go next?" Ye Chen asked.
"I'd like to look at some jewelry," Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.
Ye Chen nodded, and then he and Lin Ruoxi walked into a jewelry store.
The shop assistants also enthusiastically introduced various jewelry items to the two of them.
However, the style and material did not meet Lin Ruoxi's requirements.
Therefore, after looking around, Lin Ruoxi did not buy a single piece of jewelry.
"Ruoxi, don't you have the jewelry you want?" Ye Chen asked.
"The ones I like are all too expensive, and I don't like the materials of the cheaper ones."
At this point, Lin Ruoxi seemed to remember something and said, "Ye Chen, how about we go to the gambling stone market for a stroll?"
Lin Ruoxi had heard of the gambling stone city, but she had never been there.
She was curious and wanted to try her luck at the jade gambling market.
"Okay, let's go to the gambling stone market then," Ye Chen replied.
Lin Ruoxi smiled and then left with Ye Chen.
An hour later, Lin Ruoxi parked the car and walked into the gambling stone city with Ye Chen.
The gambling stone city is also very famous in Jingzhou.
People come here in droves every day.
Some were just curious to watch the spectacle, while others were trying their luck; in short, all sorts of thoughts were involved.
There are two models in the jade gambling city. One is to open a shop here, with all the necessary permits and licenses, and also provide services such as cutting.
Another option is to rent a stall and set up a smaller-scale business.
The stones here are of varying quality; it all comes down to luck and a keen eye.
Walking down the street, many vendors were hawking their wares, all claiming that their stones were of high quality, reasonably priced, and had a high chance of yielding jade.
In short, it's like Wang Po selling melons, praising her own wares.
Many of the onlookers were novices who didn't know much about the subject; they just liked to join in the fun.
Those who truly know their stuff rarely buy stones from these small stalls.
Because these small vendors have a very high rate of discarding stones.
Jade gambling has the characteristic of being able to become rich overnight or become poor overnight.
That's why so many people dream of getting rich quick with a single cut.
"Ye Chen, there are a lot of people gathered over there, should we go take a look?" Lin Ruoxi said, pointing to a stall not far away.
“Okay, let’s go take a look.” Ye Chen nodded.
Soon the two walked towards the stall in front, where a lot of people were gathered.
As Lin Ruoxi and Ye Chen approached, they happened to see someone cutting stone.
The scene was crowded with people, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"This stone is so perfect, there's a high probability it will yield jade."
"Yes, I've been observing this stone for a long time, and I do have that feeling."
"If such a large stone yields jade, that would be an instant fortune."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have bought it sooner."
The onlookers at the scene discussed the matter, each offering their own opinion.
Many people believe that the probability of finding jade in this stone is very high.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the stone in front of her; it was quite large.
It looks quite glossy, and it makes a good first impression.
"Ye Chen, do you think there might be jade in this?" Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.
"No," Ye Chen replied without hesitation.
Ye Chen also examined the stone, but there was nothing inside.
"Really? This stone looks pretty good."
“You can’t judge a book by its cover. Anyway, there’s nothing inside this stone,” Ye Chen said once again with certainty.
"Young man, don't be too sure of yourself, or you'll be proven wrong later."
"Anything is possible here."
Ye Chen ignored the other party. How could he not know whether there was jade inside the stone? There was no point in saying more; the result would prove it.
"Whoa—" Just then, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Many people were dumbfounded when they saw the stone that had already been cut open.
The stone has been cut open, but it is empty inside.
This result was a slap in the face to many, and there was a collective sigh of disappointment at the scene.
"Ye Chen, you're amazing! There's really nothing in this stone."
Lin Ruoxi looked surprised as she stared at Ye Chen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this stone did not yield any jade, I have many other good stones here, so the chances are still very good."
"Take these top-quality stones, for example, they are of very good quality."
"Although the price is a bit high, the chances are very high."
"Everyone can buy these top-quality stones. If they actually yield jade, you'll become rich overnight!" the vendor shouted.
Many people at the scene were tempted by the vendors' words and stepped forward to select high-quality stones.
Seeing many people selecting stones, Lin Ruoxi was eager to try it herself.
"Ye Chen, why don't we pick out a few stones too?" Lin Ruoxi said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded. Since he was already here, it would be a shame not to buy some stones.
As a layman, Lin Ruoxi knew absolutely nothing about selecting stones; she was a complete novice.
Therefore, all the stones Lin Ruoxi took were large, and they all had a very glossy appearance.
In a short while, Lin Ruoxi selected five stones that she was satisfied with.
"Ye Chen, what do you think of these five stones?" Lin Ruoxi asked Ye Chen with a smile.
Ye Chen glanced at the five stones Lin Ruoxi had chosen, then shook his head.
"Ruoxi, to be honest, these five stones are really not that great."
"Oh, no way?"
"Look at them, they're big and shiny, and they look quite pretty."
Lin Ruoxi pointed to the five stones and said.
"Since Ruoxi is so optimistic about it, let's buy it then," Ye Chen said with a smile.
“Okay, then I’ll pay.” Lin Ruoxi nodded and said.
Ye Chen looked at the area with high-quality stone materials, and to be honest, he wasn't very satisfied with any of them.
"Um?"
Ye Chen glanced around casually and suddenly a piece of unremarkable stone with a dull luster caught his eye.
