Chapter 196: Losing?
Chapter 196: Losing?
"You think you can get such high-quality purple jade for 200 million? I'll offer 300 million, ma'am, please consider it."
"I'll offer 350 million."
"360......"
......
Lin Xi quickly put the stone away. "Not for sale."
He then placed it in Ye Jinran's hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, "This is for you."
Looking at her, Ye Jinran noticed her somewhat naive appearance and couldn't help but chuckle.
Who would give away a whole rock as a gift?
They're just too cute.
Ye Jinran's favorability +5
Ok?
He likes jade stones? Then give them all to him when they're cut open later.
Lin Xi couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"They just gave it away like that, that's really generous of them."
"I didn't realize that the guy next to me is such a pretty boy. No wonder he has such a good-looking face."
"Yeah, I wish I had a face like that. No, I'd be willing to pay anyone to have it." The man's gaze was fixed on Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at Ye Jinran with amusement, and chuckled as she looked at him, "So, Young Master Ye is the gigolo I'm keeping."
Ye Jinran stared at her smiling face, which loomed slightly larger before his eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes filled with an unprecedented panic. He instinctively wanted to avoid her gaze, but he held back. He tried to regulate his breathing and put on a carefree smile. "That's right, so you'd better take responsibility."
Ye Jinran's favorability +2
"I'll take responsibility, I absolutely will. Buy whatever you like later, it'll be on me," Lin Xi said generously, her smile widening.
[Detected that Ye Jinran's favorability has reached 100. Received a random reward, triggering absolute loyalty, never to betray, and a 100% cashback rate.]
"Don't talk nonsense. This is Young Master Ye, a figure at the top of Shanghai's rich list. If you're going to court death, don't drag me into it." The person next to him quickly pushed him.
"What? He's Young Master Ye? Oh my god, did he not hear what I just said?"
"They probably heard it, but for people like them, we're probably just like air to them," the man sighed, looking at Ye Jinran and Lin Xi who were still smiling.
At this moment, it's estimated that only Wang Fugui's eyes were fixed on the high-quality purple jade in Ye Jinran's hand.
Old Hu noticed and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's alright, this time it's just because of a small crack. The other two pieces are also top-quality materials, don't panic."
Only then did Wang Fugui withdraw his gaze and put on a confident smile again.
"You won by luck this time. From now on, you will have no chance."
"Oh, really? Congratulations in advance then." Lin Xi replied casually without even lifting her eyelids.
"You." Wang Fugui was furious at her indifferent tone, but he had nowhere to vent his anger, after all, she had congratulated him.
It feels awful to punch something that feels like cotton.
"You can start with the second piece. I want to see what makes you so confident."
This time, Lin Xi didn't "give way"; she wanted to finish quickly.
Next, Lin Xi found a common icy white moonstone jade, while Wang Fugui found a tricolor high-ice jade, whose value far exceeded the previous purple high-ice jade. With multiple colors gathered on one piece of material, its value was extremely high, not to mention its high-ice quality.
"Wow, a tricolor high-ice material! That's so rare, and such a big piece too. It must be worth over ten million."
"I estimate it's more than that, it all depends on the design. If it's well-designed, its value could definitely double, given its high scarcity."
Wang Fugui looked at the large piece of tricolor high-grade icy jade in front of him. It was perfect without a single crack. He then compared it with Lin Xi's icy white moonlight jade and his eyes were full of mocking smiles.
"Hahaha, I told you, you won't have any chance from now on."
Hearing his smug smile, Lin Xi also smiled.
"Oh no, I hope she's not driven crazy by this shock."
"He can still laugh even though he's about to lose. I bet Gao Bingzi, who was sent away, will be taken back."
Lin Xi walked directly to the last stone and began to draw with utmost seriousness.
"Isn't this just the stone used to block the door? Could this be the grand finale?"
"Is this some kind of desperate measure?"
"I don't believe it. Miracles can happen here. If I can get a high-quality one, as long as it's better than her first one, I can bring her back right here."
"Brother, why are you grabbing and robbing like that?"
"Yeah, that's so shameless."
"correct."
......
"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding." The man hadn't expected his casual remark to elicit such a strong reaction, and quickly explained with a laugh.
Just kidding, if he doesn't explain, he's afraid he'll be doxxed right there on the spot.
Lin Xi completely ignored the surrounding chatter, handed the finished stone to her master, and then turned to her, "Let's open the last one together, shall we?"
"Fine, if you're not afraid, why should I be?" Wang Fugui said arrogantly.
Then Old Hu picked up the last stone in the basket, the one that had a greenish sheen on its surface.
They started drawing very seriously, because even without this bet, this stone would still be something that needed to be carefully cut.
Once both sides were ready, the cutting technicians from both sides began cutting simultaneously.
Lin Xi stared intently at the stone this time, not because she was afraid of losing, but because she really liked it.
"It's green! It's green! The green is a little light, but it's just the beginning."
When everyone looked at Wang Fugui, they saw the green light and shouted excitedly.
"Holy crap, what the heck? She's showing green too, though only a tiny bit, but under the light, the green is incredibly pure."
Wang Fugui's initial joy at seeing that his penis had been cuckolded was instantly ruined, and his expression immediately turned sour.
However, he first calmed himself down, staring intently at his stone, and inwardly prayed.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, showed no surprise whatsoever, as if it were something she had expected.
As time passed, everyone held their breath, staring at the two pieces of green material before them, their hearts filled with astonishment.
This is the first time that two pieces of green material have been found directly on-site.
The green area on Wang Fugui's side is getting bigger and bigger, and it appears unexpectedly transparent under the refraction of light.
"Manager Wang is definitely going to win this time. So much green, and it's high-grade ice-like glass without any cotton-like inclusions. Its value is off the charts."
Even after the material was cut open, Wang Fugui was still shocked. He had thought about including jadeite, but he didn't expect it to have so much green.
His eyes lit up immediately; this piece of material was his own, not something he picked out from someone else's basket.
Everyone stared intently at the piece of material, their eyes burning with desire.
(Going out for dinner today, will update again tomorrow, my darlings, love you all.)
