Chapter 156 Gambling on Stones

"Miss Xiao, aren't you going to give me some respect?" He Xiangxian stopped Lingmei. "Secretary Jin, please help me persuade them. A batch of high-quality goods were brought in on the fifth floor today. We don't want to see the best in Myanmar."

Stones from jade-producing areas? That’s a rare opportunity.”

Qin Hua was puzzled and asked softly: "Lingmei, what kind of Burmese stone is it?"

Lingmei naturally knew the origin of the stone gambling, but she deliberately pretended to be confused and looked at Secretary Jin.

Secretary Jin had no choice but to explain: "Betting on stone means cutting the raw jadeite sent from Myanmar on site. If there is jadeite in it, it has increased in value. If not, the money has been wasted."

Lingmei made a sound and said with a clear smile: "So that's it."

He Xiangxian said eagerly: "Today's goods are imported from the wooden field. The quality is very good. It would be a pity to miss today's stone." He said generously, "Let's do it. Today I will give you a rough stone - one hundred yuan.

Within that, you can choose a few of them."

Secretary Jin knew that he had no good intentions and frowned to dissuade him: "Xiang Xian——"

Unexpectedly, Mei's face was full of surprise, and she said with a cheerful smile: "Since Mr. He kindly invited us, we would not be respectful." She turned to the four girls, "Mr. He generously gave each of us a rough stone. It is a rare opportunity. Everyone.

You must choose carefully. Maybe you can make a fortune."

He Xiangxian's smile grew wider: "That's right." He said from one side of his body, "Please."

Secretary Jin had no choice but to follow Ling Mei and others up to the fifth floor. He thought he would give them more advice then.

The fifth floor is a completely different world.

When you come up from the elevator, you will see a huge crystal stone wall, which is radiant under the reflection of the light. Several people turned behind the wall, and their sight suddenly became clear. The entire floor was filled with open bunks on both sides, except for the walking path in the middle.

stones of all sizes.

Qin Hua said with a smile: "I almost thought I was coming to Stone Mountain."

She pulled Wanqin tightly. Wanqin was the person entrusted to her by Director Lu, and she must not let anything happen to her - Mr. He looked like he was not a good person. His peach blossom eyes were darting around, staring at her.

Mei and Wanqin looked at it.

Wanqin lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. She had suffered enough from the rumors, how could she dare to provoke any more noble sons from rich families?

As the five people walked along, their ears were filled with warm greetings: "He is here, Mr. He."

"Master He, come to my shop for tea."

"Master He, the girl you brought today is really——" The speaker raised his thumb.

A burst of tacit laughter.

Ling Mei didn't squint, as if she didn't hear everyone's teasing. Occasionally, her eyes passed over everyone, and the laughter involuntarily dropped.

He Xiangxian led the crowd to sit in the rows of VIP seats in front of the stone opening platform. They actually brought snacks and tea. He smiled and said: "You can go shopping on your own. The selected rough stones will be sent to the master for you to open for free.

."

Lingmei smiled and said, "Young Master He is so polite."

She asked everyone: "Do any of you have any experience in betting on stones?"

Everyone shook their heads together.

Although Wanqin is a native of Guangzhou, this is the first time she knows that there is such a thing as gambling on stones.

Lingmei smiled and said: "Mr. He invited you kindly. If we didn't offer him a few pieces of jade, it would be too disrespectful to him. But since we all have no experience, we can only try our luck."

Qin Hua looked at the stones, white, black, big and small, and finally understood the situation: "If jade can be found here, wouldn't it be pie in the sky?"

Lingmei leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't worry, Aunt Qin. Maybe you can find a family heirloom today." She smiled and said, "Leave it for your daughter-in-law as a betrothal gift."

Qin Hua pushed her gently and scolded her with a smile: "Here you go again, you talkative."

Lingmei put down Xiao Jin, who was running around happily, with long light golden hair swaying with flowing ripples. He was so beautiful. Even He Xiangxian couldn't help but ask: "Miss Xiao's pet is so beautiful. What is it?"

Variety?"

Lingmei said to him seriously: "Don't think it's cute, Xiao Jin is a ferocious beast."

He Xiangxian looked at the petite and cute Xiao Jin, said disapprovingly, and moved slightly closer to Ling Mei: "A ferocious beast? If it is a ferocious beast, then I am the ancient divine beast."

Lingmei took a step back, and the sneer on her face flashed away: "Aunt Qin, let's go pick out the rocks."

He Xiangxian followed her step by step.

Xiao Jin ran for a long time and stopped in front of a pile of raw rocks. He stretched out his little paws and curiously pulled out a bowl-sized stone with green ringworm.

Lingmei understood, picked up the stone after Xiaojin changed the target, weighed it, and asked the shopkeeper: "How much does this stone cost?"

The shopkeeper glanced at He Xiangxian: "Miss, we are a new customer. New customers have new prices. I'll give you one hundred yuan."

Lingmei nodded: "Cheap and good quality." She handed it to Qin Hua, "Aunt Qin, your family heirloom is here. Keep it."

Aunt Qin stared at the gray stone, unable to imagine how it could become a family heirloom.

He Xiangxian frowned: "A rough stone worth 100 yuan is too cheap. The more expensive the stone, the better the quality. I think the stone over there worth 10,000 yuan is pretty good."

Lingmei declined: "Buying rough stones depends on your taste." She smiled at He Xiangxian, "Besides, it was given by Mr. He?"

He Xiangxian was amused in his heart: Do you rely on your luck when betting on stones? You will lose all your money!

Xiao Jin continued to run all over the place. Wherever he stopped, Lingmei was picking stones in this shop. After shopping around, the five of them each had a heavy rough stone in their hands.

He Xiangxian's mouth twitched slightly: Xiao Lingmei, this woman, is really big-hearted. She actually left it to a pet cat to choose rough stones! The ones she picked were all cheap. No, he had to give her a little extra.

"Miss Xiao, I think this stone is not bad."

He Xiangxian pointed out that the store had a gray-white stone with a faint hint of green on it, the size of a basin.

Xiao Jin meowed disdainfully: "That's it? It's just a layer of green on the surface, and it's all cracked. Whoever buys it will lose."

Ling Mei pretended to study it for a long time, then turned around and left: "I don't like it."

He Xiangxian wasted a lot of words and boasted, but he didn't expect that she couldn't arrange it by himself. He couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Secretary Jin shook his head when he saw this and said to him: "Miss Xiao is not the kind of person you think."

He Xiangxian raised his eyebrows and glared at him: "Oh? What kind of woman is she?"

Secretary Jin said seriously: "You don't believe Miss Xiao, and you still don't believe Mr. Liu?"

He Xiangxian sneered: "I just trust him too much."

He strode back to Ling Mei, his face full of affection. He asked: "Come on, who of you will cut the stone first?"

Ling Mei looked at the two Chu and Qiu girls and said, "You two, let's go first."

Qiu Meiyun shyly handed her stone to He Xiangxian: "It's hard work."

He Xiangxian wiped the oil off and touched her tender hand. He felt proud: This is the normal reaction of a woman who sees him.

He smiled and asked: "What kind of jade does Miss Qiu want to get?"

Meiyun tilted her head, looking innocent and gentle: "I don't have high requirements. No matter what it is, as long as it can produce jade."

He Xiangxian understood: "I understand."

The master who performed the surgery took the stone, looked at it a few times, and frowned in disgust: This kind of waste material requires his strength to waste his knife!

In the audience, Chu Manling whispered to Meiyun: "Please restrain yourself, I'm getting goosebumps."

Meiyun glanced at her, charmingly: "Since you can't do it, then let me take him down."

Chu Manling frowned: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. This person doesn't seem to be a good deceiver."

"It's just for fun. Everyone gets what they need."

Qiu Meiyun stared at He Xiangxian and smiled sweetly: "I really hope to find a piece of jade."

The master quickly decided the direction and strength of the stone cutting. When the knife cut down half a centimeter and the water washed away the stone foam, the master was stunned.

Hey, it’s really green?

He Xiangxian also saw a hint of dark green. He couldn't help but be stunned. Is this bad luck? He turned to Meiyun and smiled: "Not bad, a good start."

Meiyun herself was also surprised: "No way? Jade is really coming out?"

The master carefully cut through the rest of the stone shell, and finally cut out a complete piece of jadeite only the size of an egg yolk.

Someone in the audience commented: "You are green. The water head is pretty good."
