"This is a fool. How does he know what is offensive and not offensive?"
"I'm afraid he doesn't even know who his opponent is, right? That's Master Zhang. He has never made mistakes when looking at stones."
"I'm laughing so hard. You don't know the heights of the world. I want to see this guy get out of here in shame."
"It's not good to make things difficult for anyone, but Master Zhang. Isn't that a big deal in front of Guan Gong? This fool keeps kicking the iron plate."
"You can't say it like this. This million has been wasted. The stone has been cut open and I still don't want to believe it. I think this is a fool. You can't afford to lose, so you are playing with stones."
A group of spectators also followed suit and ridiculed Meng Yan, not believing that anything could be cut out of that piece of material. They all thought that Meng Yan was stunned because he was unwilling to lose one million.
The host looked at the several workers next to the stone cutter and nodded to indicate that they could start working.
After receiving the instructions, the stone-cutting staff picked up the stone on the left, made a mark at three-fifths of the point, and then aimed it at the cutting edge of the stone-cutting machine.
"Rumble" a motor sound sounded, and the blade of the stone cutter began to rotate rapidly and began to penetrate into the stone inch by inch.
Wu Tianyong clasped his hands and watched attentively in the audience as the rough stone on the stage was cut into pieces bit by bit.
Just now, Meng Yan didn't feel like a gambler to him, but like a stone master who already knew what was in the rough stone and had everything under control.
So at this moment, he didn't know where some irrational thoughts came from.
"What if there really is jade in this scrap of material?" He thought silently in his heart.
"Cut one point."
"Cut to two points."
"Cut to four points..."
Suddenly, the worker who was cutting stone pressed the power button without warning.
There was only a "clang" sound, and the cut area of the stone could not withstand the pressure, and it cracked and fell to the ground.
The dark green light inside shimmered under the lights of the auction table.
The stone cutting staff raised their heads and looked at everyone in disbelief: "It's green."
"It's Laoyouqing, the color is so true!" Several sharp-eyed Cui friends in the audience also exclaimed.
People at the venue suddenly thought of something, and all their eyes looked at Meng Yan, their eyes full of shock, confusion, and disbelief.
"How on earth did he know that?"
"He didn't even get close to seeing the rough stone."
"It's incredible, how did he know that green could come out of it?"
"It's exactly what he said, it's green inside."
Everyone started talking, and their previous attitude of disdain for Meng Yan as a joke disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only deep curiosity.
"Ahem!" Boss Zhang coughed twice: "Friend, you're lucky, you guessed there was jade inside without even using a flashlight."
"You are lucky this time, my friend, you can go down now."
Boss Zhang's face was very ugly. He spent so much money to ask that person to look at the stone, and even promised him that there was no jade in it, but he was slapped in the face by a guy who came out of nowhere!
Boss Zhang made up his mind that he would never go to his place to see rough stones again!
At this moment, the host also realized that Boss Zhang was the guest they invited. If he was provoked by a guy who didn't know the details, where would the Nanling Jade Company's face be put? He quickly followed what Boss Zhang said.
"This friend's luck is indeed extraordinary. We are not people who do not keep our promises. Master Zhang agrees that you can continue to stay at the auction venue. Now please go down and don't interfere with the normal auction process of our venue."
Hearing the host's words, many current Cui friends couldn't help but smile, and they all realized that they were looking for a way out for themselves.
However, they all believed that this was indeed due to luck. Otherwise, how could he, who had not even looked at the rough stone up close and not even used a flashlight, be able to accurately determine that there was jade in the rough stone cut in half?
If he really knew it based on his ability, then how could he not have heard of or seen this person in the jade circle of Xia State? With this kind of ability, it would be easy to become one of the top three treasure appraisers of Xia State.
The newly established jade company in this small lake city is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger in front of them?
So many people now think that this guy just didn't accept that he lost one million and suddenly got crazy, and finally cut out the jade by luck.
Meng Yan ignored the various looks from around him, walked off the stage and came to the gambling table, looking at the dozen gamblers who were happily dividing their bets just now.
At this moment, they were all looking at Meng Yan with complicated expressions. Some of them had grimaces on their faces, as if they were about to cry.
This guy is so lucky, right? He really got a piece of emerald!
That piece of old oil is not worth much, but the chips I gambled on it are really lost.
"Bring it here." Meng Yan said, extending his hand to them.
Although they had angry faces, they didn't dare to cause trouble in Yubao Hall. The next two of them painfully threw all the bets they had just divided back on the gaming table with interest, and pushed them in front of Meng Yan.
The chips in front of Meng Yan piled up into a small mountain. Looking at this scene, Meng Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled knowingly.
"Here, this is yours." Meng Yan put a 100,000-dollar chip into Wu Tianyong's hand, and then gave out all the others' fair share one by one.
Wu Tianyong approached Meng Yan and lowered his voice: "Friend, may I ask your name."
After Wu Tianyong received the money, he suddenly realized that what happened just now happened so fast that he didn't even ask the name of this mysterious person.
Meng Yan smiled and said, "My surname is Meng, Meng Yan."
"Okay, Brother Meng, let me ask you something. Did you guess just now or did you see that there was a piece of jade there?" Wu Tianyong asked curiously.
Meng Yan was a little surprised when he heard this question. It seemed that this person really happened to pass by and join in the fun. In the stone gambling industry, it is taboo to ask the stone appraiser whether he saw it or not.
"Friend, let me tell you something." Meng Yan lowered his voice and said: "In our industry, it is taboo to inquire about other people's ability to identify treasures."
After speaking, Meng Yan put a finger against his mouth and made a "shh" gesture.
Wu Tianyong understood immediately and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a layman. Don't take it personally if you offend Brother Meng."
Meng Yan patted him on the shoulder, indicating that the matter was over.
