Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Triumphant and Arrogant
The two parties signed the gambling agreement.

The contents of the agreement were threefold: first, the bet was five million.

Second, the funds used to purchase the raw jade stones could not exceed one million.

This was proposed by Chen Guanglei, as he only had one million left.

Third, the jade from the losing party would belong to the winner.

“Kid, thanks for the five million.”

Chen Guanglei sneered with a smirk, leaving with Zhao Yulu to pick out the raw stones.

“Husband, can you really tell which raw stones contain jade?” Zhao Yuxin was a bit worried.

“It shouldn’t be a problem; you’ll see in a moment.” Xu Yang was not worried at all.

With the system in hand, the world is mine!

They wandered for more than half an hour, having looked at the raw stones in almost every shop.

Xu Yang needed only a glance to know whether or not there was jade inside a stone, and what kind of jade it was.

He spent nine hundred and seventy thousand and selected three pieces of raw stone to be moved to the stone cutting area.

Chen Guanglei was nowhere to be seen yet.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Guanglei and Zhao Yulu finally arrived.

“Kid, you’ve made your selection so quickly? You mustn’t know anything and just picked at random,” Chen Guanglei said tauntingly with a laugh.

“If you say so,” Xu Yang said, too lazy to argue with Chen Guanglei.

It’s not like he could say he could see jade inside the raw stones.

Besides, even if he said that, Chen Guanglei certainly wouldn’t believe him.

The more likely possibility was that Chen Guanglei would only ridicule him.

“I’m telling you, you’re bound to lose. Losing five million, doesn’t that make your heart ache?” Chen Guanglei sneered again, his smile full of mockery.

“No problem, it’s just five million. If I lose, I lose,” Xu Yang said, acting as if five million meant nothing to him.

“You are actually pretending in front of me, kid. No matter how calm you appear, you can’t hide the truth that your heart aches. I can already see the pain in your eyes, so stop pretending,” Chen Guanglei scoffed.

“It looks as though you think you’ve already won, but it’s not yet certain who will lose and who will win. You better not celebrate too early.”

Xu Yang was speechless, thinking to himself which eye of yours saw me in pain?

“What do you mean it’s not certain? I will definitely win. You, coming from a small county, think you can beat me? That’s just a dream!” Chen Guanglei snorted.

“Then let’s wait and see,” Xu Yang said calmly.

Both of them took out their invoices to verify that the money spent on the raw stones didn’t exceed one million.

Neither had exceeded the limit, Xu Yang spent nine hundred thousand, and Chen Guanglei spent nine hundred and eighty thousand.

Both had chosen three pieces of raw stone.

Next up was to queue for the stone cutting, which they soon did.

“Would you like to go first or shall I?” Xu Yang asked.

“I’ll go first.” Chen Guanglei wanted to reveal his jade first so he could continually taunt Xu Yang.

“Okay, then you go ahead.” Xu Yang had no objections.

To him, it made no difference who went first.

Chen Guanglei instructed the master cutter to cut the stone.

The first stone was cut and revealed jade, eliciting gasps of astonishment from the onlookers.

“There’s green, there’s green, the young man is in luck.”

“It might not be luck; he might genuinely have the skill.”

“True, quite a few young people have a good eye for these things.”

“This jade, it could be worth a million, right?”

“A million is just the starting point, if people compete, the price is bound to go up.”

“Young man, I’ll take this piece of jade, I bid one million two hundred thousand.”

“Old Guo, you’re too good at snagging deals, I bid one million three hundred thousand.”

“Stop fighting over it, I bid one million five hundred thousand.”

The crowd was discussing, and employees from jewelry companies started bidding on the spot.

“Everyone, I’ve selected three raw stones, and right now we’ve only unveiled the first one. Let’s wait until the other two are opened, and then we can make a unified bid on all of them,” Chen Guanglei said happily.

One raw stone had fetched one million five hundred thousand.

If the other two could also be worth about this much, he would be satisfied.

That would be four million five hundred thousand for the three stones.

Add the five million won from Xu Yang, and it’s almost ten million.

Coming to Haicheng and earning ten million, it felt incredibly awesome.

What was more important was trampling Xu Yang underfoot.

“Xu Yang, how about that, you see? This is my ability. You still want to beat me? Dream on,” Chen Guanglei said with a mocking laugh.

“It’s just a piece of jade worth one million five hundred thousand, it’s not that big a deal,” Xu Yang said indifferently.

“You’re pretending to be calm, fine, let’s move on to the second one. You’ll soon realize how naive and ridiculous it is for you to act all composed in front of me,” sneered Chen Guanglei.

As the two were speaking, the second raw stone was unveiled.

This one revealed an even larger piece of jade, and based on estimates from onlookers, it was worth around two million.

“See that? Another piece of jade worth two million, each one more valuable than the last. No offense, but even if you had a whole lifetime, you couldn’t do this. A small-town guy like you trying to gamble on stones with me is simply throwing your money away!” Chen Guanglei mocked again.

“Getting so proud over two pieces of jade? I haven’t even unveiled mine yet,” Xu Yang’s demeanor remained calm.

He had the Appraisal Master Skill. If he couldn’t even beat Chen Guanglei, that would be unjust.

“Haha, just wait till we unveil your raw stone. There’s definitely nothing in it, just a pile of rocks,” laughed Chen Guanglei heartily.

“Let’s wait and see,” Xu Yang stated.

Soon, the third raw stone was unveiled.

This one was even more expensive, reaching three million.

In total, that made it six million five hundred thousand.

“Kid, see that? That’s my power. In front of absolute strength, you’re nothing. I’ll gladly take your five million. Thanks a bunch, hahaha!”

Chen Guanglei let out a triumphant and wild laugh, even more smug than before.

Despite people pointing fingers at him, nobody was foolish enough to stop him.

“Unveiling three pieces of jade worth six million five hundred thousand is indeed not easy.”

“The young man has real talent. As I said before, these three pieces of jade are worth six million five hundred thousand, sell them to me.”

“I’ll offer seven million, sell the jade to me.”

“Fuck, Old Zhou, you can’t just snatch things like that.”

“Buying jade here has always been about the highest bidder winning. What right do you have to criticize me?”

“That’s right, everyone competes fairly. The highest offer wins the bid.”

Immediately, everyone began arguing over the three pieces of jade.

It was close to coming to blows.

If they hadn’t known that fighting was pointless, they would have definitely started throwing punches.

In the end, Chen Guanglei sold the three pieces of jade to a jewelry company employee who bid eight million.

“Xu Yang, see that? Eight million in hand, just like that. This is my capability. Do you, coming from a small county, have this in you?” Chen Guanglei said with disdain.

“Whether I have it in me or not will only be clear after the raw stones I chose are opened,” Xu Yang responded.

“There’s no need to open them. I already know there will be no jade in the raw stones you chose. I’m a generous person. For the sake of your acquaintance with Yu Lu, if you admit defeat now and apologize to me, I’ll only take four million from you. How about that?” Chen Guanglei said with a smile.

“You’ve decided there’s no jade inside the raw stone I chose, even before it’s opened?” Xu Yang asked.
