Boss Zhang turned on his phone and looked at the countless missed calls. He gritted his teeth and called Meng Yan again.
"Meng Yan, Meng Yan, answer the phone quickly. I want to tell you whether your kid is dead or alive!"
"Dududu..."
"The number you have dial can not be reached."
The announcer's standard Mandarin voice came from the other end of the phone. Boss Zhang was so angry that he threw his hand and smashed the phone on the bed.
"Meng Yan, where have you been! I can't stand it anymore!" Boss Zhang roared in his heart.
He himself does not have Meng Yan's uncanny ability to form stones, he is just a jade dealer with some money.
Starting from the day Meng Yan left, a group of people suddenly came to ask him to help look at stones, saying they had heard rumors that he was an unparalleled genius in looking at stones.
He immediately understood that he was talking about Meng Yan.
However, he recognized his new identity as "Master Zhang" without hesitation.
This is a good opportunity to make money and fame.
In the past three days, he had declined too many invitations, and he felt that he would no longer be able to hide it.
Meng Yan clearly said he would be back in three days, but what about others?
Today is the third day!
Boss Zhang is on the verge of tears. If this continues, his reputation will soon be exposed, and he will be labeled as a liar in vain.
In the past three days, he had been to Zhu's house several times, but he always thanked guests behind closed doors, and there was no news about Meng Yan.
Boss Zhang is very panicked now. His reputation is like a balloon, rising more and more as it is blown up, and feels like it will burst soon.
"Boss Zhang! Is this Zhang's shop?! Is it the shop of Master Xiangshi that I mentioned three days ago?"
Suddenly there was a lot of noise outside the store.
"Why are you talking! This is Master Zhang's shop, so be polite!"
"Are you so polite? Have you ever seen him look like a stone with your own eyes?"
"So many people are spreading the rumor, how could it be possible that Master Zhang doesn't have real abilities?"
"Wouldn't you know if you have real skills if you try it today?"
"Zhang, come out! Sun Shigui, come and ask for advice!"
As soon as he said this, there was an exclamation of surprise from outside.
"Sun Shigui? Are you really a stone ghost?!"
"Aren't you doing business in the west of the city? Why are you here looking for trouble?"
Sun Shigui was also a well-known folk stone master in Lake City. He originally opened a stone gambling shop in the west of the city, and he was supposed to be on the same page with Boss Zhang in the east of the city.
But this man is very small-minded.
In the past three days, he has been hearing customers coming to the shop mention from time to time that there is an unparalleled boss Zhang in the east of the city. He is a genius who can compare with the masters of Yubao Hall.
Along with these rumors, there is also the fact that his business has become quiet.
The original customers either only went to the Chengdong Jade Market to find Boss Zhang to open stones, or they simply went to watch the excitement.
But there is no doubt that his business has indeed been affected.
Sun Shi was so angry.
Moreover, I have been in Lake City for so many years, where have I heard of such a number one person?
Eighty percent of the time, he is a guy with a false reputation, who pays people to say something, and then runs away in the hope of using the false reputation to make a lot of money.
There are a lot of liars in Gambling Stone, but it affects him, Sun Shigui, and he can't swallow this breath!
So today I came here specifically to cause trouble.
"Damn it, Sun Shigui, why is it him!" Boss Zhang cursed in his heart.
His boss, Zhang, has been involved in the stone gambling circle in Lake City for decades, and he knows all the famous stone-producing figures in Lake City.
This Sun Shigui can definitely be ranked in the top five.
Such a person is here to cause trouble today, and Meng Yan is not here, so his little three-legged cat skills are nowhere to be seen!
Is the secret about to be revealed so soon... Boss Zhang felt despair in his heart.
Seeing no response from the store, Sun Shigui confirmed what he was thinking.
This 80% achievement is a trick to deceive the world and steal the reputation. I hired some people to spread rumors and then ran away to make a fortune.
But he didn't expect that Sun Shigui had been summoned. At this moment, he must have thought that he was going to be exposed. He was so frightened that he huddled inside and didn't dare to say a word.
Thinking of this, Sun Shigui couldn't help but feel proud, and his voice rose by two points.
"What's going on? Pretend to be dead! These days, cats and dogs dare to call themselves Masters of Xiangshi. You really think there is no one in the Stone Gambling Circle in Lake City!"
The words are almost clear, that is, Boss Zhang is a liar.
"Hey, Master Sun, you are all gambling in stone circles to get along, so don't be too arrogant."
The wealthy people who had been yelling at Sun Shigui just now heard Sun Shigui's name, and their tempers suddenly softened a lot.
They had heard a little bit about these famous people in the stone gambling circle in Zaihu City, and they were afraid of offending these people and causing trouble for themselves in this circle in the future.
"What kind of relaxation? I think those of you who praise his smelly feet are blind!" Sun Shigui retorted unceremoniously.
"I have been involved in the stone gambling circle in Lake City for so many years. How have I ever heard of a person as big as Boss Zhang?" Sun Shigui straightened his chest, looking unquestionable.
"It's probably a liar who came to deceive you! If he sells you, you have to count the money to him."
"You still look like a genius? He hasn't been born yet? How can there be so many geniuses for you to pick up the pie? Ah?!"
"Have you ever seen him open rocks with your own eyes? Most likely you just heard rumors, right? After you met him and asked him to open rocks, did he always shirk it, right?"
Although the words were not pleasant to listen to, several rich people closed their mouths and lowered their heads in thought at the same time.
Yes, he had indeed just heard the rumor, and Master Zhang had indeed been trying to shirk it.
There were a few who were unconvinced, but they still held back their last breath and retorted: "Then we'll find out if we call Boss Zhang out for a competition!"
"Yes!" Sun Shigui spread his hands: "That's what I mean too."
"But Master Zhang, isn't he just pretending to be dead inside and not daring to come out?"
"Look, he is a liar! Most likely he has escaped through the small door at the back! Hahahaha!"
After saying this, Sun Shigui spat in front of Boss Zhang's shop and laughed loudly.
"Who said I ran away?" A voice suddenly came from inside.
Everyone looked up and saw Boss Zhang walking out of the back room with confidence.
Just now, with the last glimmer of hope, Boss Zhang made one last call to Meng Yan.
Got through.
Boss Zhang glanced at the surrounding crowd and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Meng Yan had already quietly squeezed his way to the front of the crowd.
Boss Zhang pointed at Sun Shigui, who looked arrogant: "You want to compare with me, how do you compare?"
"It's very simple." Sun Shigui opened the bag he was carrying and shook it, and several rough stones fell to the ground.
They are all small materials, the smallest one only weighs five kilograms, and the largest one only weighs about twenty kilograms.
