I can support you.

Chapter 310 Gambling on Stones

The boss frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, three hundred thousand is three hundred thousand."

Xue Pianpian immediately transferred the payment and carefully put the bracelet into the space under the cover of her handbag.

After leaving the shop, Ye Fengning came over and asked softly:

"Chairman, is this bracelet really that valuable?"

Although Zhang Yuning, Wei Peng and Wang Xin did not ask directly, they all looked curious.

Xue Pianpian smiled mysteriously,

"I'll tell you when we get back."

The five people continued to walk forward and came to a crossroads. When Xue Pianpian was struggling to decide which direction to go, the noise of the crowd came from far away.

"When you cut it open, it's just waste stone! That Shen guy is clearly trying to trick us—"

"The gambling stone field has just opened. I heard that the raw materials are shipped directly from northern Myanmar..."

Xue Pianpian's ears twitched, and she caught a glimpse of several men hurriedly walking by. The words "gambling on stones" were like a key, clicking open the light in her eyes.

Zhang Yuning asked in a gentle voice:

"What's wrong? Sister."

"There's a gambling stone competition ahead."

Xue Pianpian smiled cunningly and replied,

"Come on, let's go join in the fun, maybe we can make a little fortune."

When the five people mixed into the crowd, a string of firecrackers was exploding from the neon sign of "Xuan Yu Fang".

Xue Pianpian wrinkled her nose at the choking smell of pine and rust. She looked up and saw a pile of dark blue wool materials on the central exhibition stand. An old man in a Tang suit was sweeping a strong flashlight across the stone surface, and the red light shattered into stars in her pupils.

"That's it."

She pointed to a brown-skinned rough stone in the front corner. Its surface was rough like toad skin, but it had wisps of gold in it that shone through her eyes.

"One hundred thousand, I bet there's ice-type yellow jade in it."

Xue Pianpian shouted loudly in a rather generous manner.

The surroundings suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The old man in the Tang suit coughed twice:

"The little girl is quite courageous..."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly stirred. A man in a short-sleeved floral shirt and white shorts pushed through the crowd, and the jade bracelet on his wrist banged against the edge of the booth.

"I want this stone."

Xue Pianpian held the edge of the stone with her fingertips and was slightly stunned.

She saw a bodyguard wearing sunglasses following the man, with half a wolf head tattoo visible on his sleeve - it was the person who had just argued at the intersection.

"Sir, the rough stone has not been bid yet—"

Before the old man finished speaking, the man threw down the black gold card:

"Five hundred thousand, no need to change."

The spotlights in the booth made Xue Pianpian squint. She could clearly see that the golden color inside the raw material was being swallowed by the shadow, like a candlelight meeting a rainstorm.

"and many more."

She suddenly reached out and pressed the stone surface, her nails scratching white marks on the rough surface.

"I'll add another 100,000. The rules of gambling on stones are that the highest bidder wins."

The man's sunglasses slid down an inch, revealing a scar at the corner of his eye.

"Little girl, do you know who you're competing with?"

Xue Pianpian met his sinister gaze, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Wang Xin calmly standing between her and the bodyguard. She twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a harmless smile:

"It's just a gamble, sir, are you afraid to take it?"

Low chuckles echoed around. The man clenched his bracelet, the jade beads clattering.

"Okay, I want to see what you are capable of!"

When the raw stone was moved onto the cutting machine, Xue Pianpian heard her heart beating like a drum.

The moment the blade cut in, her eyes flashed with excitement and joy.

"Green, green!" The exclamation was like boiling water.

She looked intently. The cutting machine was spraying water, and the rough stone's cross-section was flowing with a honey-like luster. The icy yellow jadeite fluoresced under the light, three times more transparent than she had expected. The crowd erupted in excitement. The man's face turned pale, and his sunglasses fell to the ground.

"Concession."

Xue Pianpian took out a handkerchief and wiped away the water marks on the stone surface. Her fingertips touched the faint lines on the inside, which looked like some kind of ancient totem.

She paused, then looked up at the commotion. The man in the flowered shirt looked unwilling, ready for another round.

Ye Fengning came over:

"Chairman, do you still want to continue gambling?"

Xue Pianpian clenched the yellow jadeite tightly, the totem pattern on her palm seemed to be burning. She whispered without hesitation:

"Pick three more."

She immediately turned on her X-ray vision and searched among the piles of raw stones.

Xue Pianpian's fingertips gently brushed across the pile of raw stones, and golden lines on her retina spread out like ripples.

Under the bottom layer of gray-skinned stone, a three-centimeter-thick layer of fog is wrapped in a rich sunny green, with a color band two fingers wide;

In the black sand at the left corner, glass-like floating flowers were moving along with her sight, like living things;

And in the moss-covered stone on the far right, there is a rare spring color hidden, with pink, purple and emerald green interwoven into a rosy glow in the rock layer.

“Just these three.”

She pointed her fingertips at the three pieces of raw stones, and Ye Fengning immediately raised her hand to signal. Wei Peng and Wang Xin quickly lifted the rough materials, and the humming cutting machine was on standby ten meters away.

The onlookers all looked sideways, their eyes full of anticipation at the jade rough material that Xue Pianpian had chosen, wondering in their hearts whether there would be any unexpected surprises next.

“First cut window.”

The moment the emery cut through the gray skin, everyone in the room gasped - the Zhengyang green poured out like a waterfall, and the rich color made the jade merchants in the adjacent booths change their faces.

The old man in Tang suit calmly reported the valuation:

"A conservative estimate is 20 million, enough to make three full green bracelets."

When the second piece of black sand was cut, the floating patterns formed a natural landscape painting.

Xue Pianpian heard someone behind her exclaiming, "Even gods cannot tell the difference between an inch of jade and a stone."

When the third piece of Chundaicai was completely cut open, the entire audience burst into applause.

Pink, purple and emerald green flow under the light, like the morning glow and evening mist in the same frame.

The man in the flowered shirt looked increasingly gloomy, with veins bulging on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and glared at Xue Pianpian fiercely.

Suddenly, a bodyguard behind him leaned over and whispered something in his ear. A fierce look flashed across the man's eyes. He waved his hand and shouted:

"It's just three pieces of raw material, what's so great about it? I have something even more amazing, let me open your eyes!"

As he spoke, he signaled his men to carry out a huge black rough stone.

The raw stone was more than one person tall, with strange textures on the surface, exuding a mysterious aura.

Xue Pianpian looked at the rough stone and turned on the perspective function, but found that the situation inside was not as good as it seemed on the surface. She smiled gently and said softly

"Okay, then let's wait and see!"

The man in the flowered shirt seemed certain that this rough stone contained immense power, and said arrogantly:

"Little girl, do you want to bet with me?"

Snow waved her hands.

"No need. I sincerely hope you will have a different harvest."

The man in the flowered shirt snorted coldly when he saw Xue Pianpian's refusal.

"Coward, you were so arrogant just now! Why are you so cowardly now? Are you scared by my aura?"

Xue Pianpian didn't want to make things too awkward and wanted to save his face, but she didn't expect that this guy was not easy to deal with and even escalated it to personal attacks!

She doesn't want to cause trouble, but she doesn't want to be bullied either!

"Be careful with your words, brother. Knowing how to respect others is the most basic upbringing for a person."

The man in the flowered shirt smiled disdainfully.

"Don't give me those big talk. They mean nothing in the face of absolute strength. Just tell me if you dare to gamble or not."

"Chairman..."

Ye Fengning's eyes were filled with worry. She felt that there was no need to bother with such a person.

Xue Pianpian patted her shoulder,

"It's okay, Feng Ning, I know what's going on."

Wei Peng also took a step forward and whispered:

"Sister, this guy is obviously trying to provoke you, don't be fooled!"

Xue Pianpian rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:

"In your eyes, your sister is so unreliable?"

Zhang Yuning is full of confidence in Xue Pianpian:

"Sister, I support you no matter what you decide."

Xue Pianpian raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Really? That's great! Just for what you said, I'm going to make a bet with him. If I win, I'll treat you guys to a big meal."

Then he said to the man in the flowered shirt:

"Tell me, how do we bet?"

1. Floral Shirt for Men:

"I bet this piece of material can produce old pit glass, and its value will not be less than 100 million.

If I lose, I'll give you this piece of raw material and another 50 million. If I win, you can take your three pieces of raw material and follow me. I will ensure that you will have a good life and no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. How about it? Little girl, you won't lose no matter you win or lose. Isn't my brother very kind? "

Xue Pianpian smiled mockingly and said:

"Uncle, since you are so confident, I will reluctantly play a game with you.

But the bet needs to be changed: If you lose, I don’t want your piece of scrap, just convert it into cash, just give me 100 million.

If you want, let's start now. If you can't afford to lose, don't bother me anymore."

The man in the flowered shirt suddenly showed joy in his eyes. He was almost 100% sure that he would win, so he let this girl show off for a while. Soon she would be his.
