"Alas." Jia Baiyuan looked at her retreating back and smiled helplessly.
"I can't even control my own niece, which makes you laugh."
"Hey, Shen Jingshi has long been interested in my niece's body. If he loses the bet, it will be a disaster for him."
When Meng Yan heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "The reason why you don't let her gamble is probably not because of this."
"Oh?" Jia Baiyuan was slightly surprised.
"Then Meng Yan, what do you think it is?" Jia Baiyuan asked with interest.
"I think that the Shen family is so powerful, with the help of Myanmar externally, and internally they have held the position of president of the Jade Association for several consecutive terms. The Jade Association has almost become the private property of the Shen family."
"With these Shen family's continuous development of their own strength, if this continues, it will be a matter of time before the three of you are completely annexed."
"So." Meng Yan put his hands on his back and looked into the distance outside the gate.
"I think there are quite a few surrender parties among the three family members."
When Jia Baiyuan heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"And surrender is also a science that emphasizes first come, first served." Meng Yan smiled and continued.
"The first family to surrender will undoubtedly get the most scraps, while the last family to surrender may not get anything, or even the entire family may disappear."
"And the first family to surrender will undoubtedly have a higher status in the eyes of the Shen family than the families that surrender or merge later."
"That is to say, I will be ranked second behind the Shen family, sit firmly in the second position, and help the Shen family suppress the families that come in behind."
"This is the real reason why your Uncle Jia didn't fight to protect Jia Yu'er just now." Meng Yan turned his head and looked at Jia Baiyuan, his eyes full of amusement.
"Shen Jingshi may be the next heir to the Shen family. If Jia Yuer really has a relationship with him and his life is ready, then based on the current situation, you have to marry him. In order to show off to the other three families, the Shen family, I will definitely marry her, raise her well, and give your Jia family many sweet things."
"In this way, it is equivalent to telling the other three families that there is a way to survive when they are defeated by the Shen family, and they can still live well."
"If Jia Yu'er is even pregnant with Shen Jingshi's child, then maybe some people in your family, Uncle Jia, will secretly hold a party to celebrate."
"This little girl is pitiful. She worked hard for the survival of the Jia family, but unexpectedly she was secretly sold to the Shen family for a price already marked by her family. Uncle Jia, am I right?"
Meng Yan looked into Jia Baiyuan's eyes and said.
Jia Baiyuan lowered his head and smiled.
This Meng Yan, his insight is so terrifying, I still underestimate him.
"Meng Yan, nephew Meng Xian, I..."
"Wait a minute, I'm not a good nephew of the Jia family, so I don't dare to take it seriously." Meng Yan stopped talking with a smile.
"well……"
"Meng Yan, what you said is all right. I feel ashamed."
Meng Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Jia, you don't have to take it seriously. After all, you are the head of the family. Thinking about the future of the Jia family is something that you must consider."
"But now, let's get down to business."
When Jia Baiyuan heard this, he made a gesture of invitation to the lounge.
"Then Meng Yan, please come with me."
lounge.
Each private room in the lounge is an independent private room. Because of the special nature of gambling stones, the sound insulation effect is very good. You don’t have to worry about being heard by outsiders when you talk in the private room.
Meng Yan took a sip of the tea that Jia Baiyuan ordered for him. The two-hundred-thousand-pound top-quality Dahongpao tasted different. It was much better than the tea he drank at Boss Zhang's shop.
Meng Yan put down the teacup and got straight to the point.
"I also drank such expensive tea, so I'll just ask Uncle Jia directly."
"Uncle Jia, do you want to win this bet, or do you not want to win?"
Jia Baiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still felt hesitant in his heart.
If he loses, the Jia family will reciprocate the love. Jia Yu'er will become Shen Jingshi's wife, and the status of the second oldest child in the Jia family will be confirmed.
If they win, Nanling's jade merchant agency rights will be restored, and the Jia family will have the ability to continue to compete with the Shen family.
But from now on, we will have to fight to the death with the Shen family.
Regardless of whether he wins or not, there is always a way out for him.
Jia Baiyuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes to calm himself down, and then slowly spoke.
"I want to win, and I'll bet on you this time."
Then Jia Baiyuan added: "At least, you can't lose."
In the end, he made up his mind. Liang Zi had to let an experienced trader like himself take care of the business matters.
Yu'er didn't like him, Shen Jingshi, and couldn't sacrifice the happiness of the women of the Jia family to protect the interests of the Jia family.
He, Jia Baiyuan, is also a prince in the jade world, and he can't get rid of this face.
After making the decision, Jia Baiyuan's mood became much simpler.
When Meng Yan heard this, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Jia, as long as I'm here, we will definitely win this competition."
At this time, Meng Yan changed his usual low profile and immediately dropped his words, confident of winning.
Jia Baiyuan was slightly shocked when he heard Meng Yan's words. After a while, he smiled and said, "Meng Yan, what should I say?"
"As expected of you, you are the grandson of Shi Zhongxian. I am starting to see you a little bit differently."
Meng Yan drank the whole pot of Dahongpao worth 200,000 kilograms.
noon.
Jia Yu'er didn't know where he ran away. When he came back at noon, the corners of his eyes were still a little red, and he had obviously cried a lot.
Meng Yan and Jia Baiyuan didn't say anything when they saw this, and took him into the gate of Xuanniao Building and entered the stone appreciation meeting venue.
Compared to the deserted scene in the morning, the venue was obviously much more popular at this moment. Stone gamblers of all ages were walking back and forth among the rough stones, choosing their favorite materials.
Several staff members from the Jade Association push a cart of rough stones back and forth between the rough stone stalls. As long as a piece of material is picked out by someone, they will immediately take out a random piece of material from the cart and replenish it, continuously.
After Jia Baiyuan signed up the two of them, he got an identity certificate from the Jade Association, hung it around his neck, and began to shuttle among the crowd to pick up rough stones.
Jia Yu'er glanced at the ID card on Meng Yan's chest angrily: "Humph, just pretending."
"In a moment, I will pick out a piece of raw stone with jadeite for you, and you can take it and open it."
"You were eliminated at the last moment. You couldn't even get in the second competition to choose the president of the association. You couldn't help my uncle by his side."
Choosing the president of the Jade Association is a competition between the four major families. Except for the nephews and nephews of the four major families, outsiders must be recommended by people from the four major families and submit a membership application three months in advance before they can enter. Otherwise, they can only be admitted in the first place. Only those who pass the audition can enter the venue of the second competition as a spectator.
