Chapter 36
The Same Tropes
All of Tang Bingyun's wealthy acquaintances, after seeing Wang Haoran's huge profits, got very envious and were immediately tempted to gamble on stones again.
Wang Haoran was not even 20 years old, so it was not possible for him to have any experience in stone gambling.
When he selected the stones, it was as if he was just randomly choosing watermelons, picking whichever ones looked good to him.
The fact that he made so much profit was partly the result of his luck.
But the most important thing is that most of the stones in this batch are likely to be profitable.
"I'll try again!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Li, who had lost 950,000 yuan earlier, followed Wang Haoran's "randomly" picking technique and chose five stones in one go.
He had been losing money on individual stones before, but this time he picked five stones at once, so he shouldn't keep losing money, right?
The rest of the group couldn't help themselves either and began to choose their stones.
After the stones were selected, the Master Stone Cutter turned on the cutting machine again.
They gathered around the machine, each with a smile on their face as they waited for their harvest.
Each time a stone was opened, Tang Bingyun and several appraisers assessed it and immediately assigned a profit and loss value.
"A loss of 50,000."
"A loss of 100,000."
"A loss of 250,000."
"A loss of 800,000."
……
Gradually, the smiles on the faces of surrounding wealthy people faded, and in the end, they looked as if they had lost their souls.
None of the stones they had chosen was profitable, and even if they had, they had only made a mere few tens of thousands, not enough to even cover the losses from the other stones.
All of them lost money.
The one with the lowest loss was 300,000 yuan while the one with the highest loss was 3.3 million yuan.
As Wang Haoran watched, he was trying hard not to laugh.
Among the remaining stones, there was basically nothing good left.
There was only little profit that could be made.
Originally, these losses would have been shouldered by Tang Bingyun, but they were actually the ones to help Tang Bingyun cover them.
"Mr Wang, is there some secret to opening stones, can you teach me?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Li, who had lost the most, came up to Wang Haoran and asked for advice.
"When I picked the stones, did I pick them carefully? There is no secret, it's all a matter of luck."
The middle-aged man surnamed Li was speechless at Wang Haoran's answer.
He could only think that the Wang family's ancestral grave might have been blessed by their ancestors and that not only was their business successful, but their descendants' gambling luck was also excellent.
He could not help but think that the Wang family was blessed by their ancestors.
Right then, a vintage car arrived outside the factory.
The old school Principle and Chu Bai stepped out of it one after the other.
"Little friend Chu Bai, are you really that good at betting on stones that you can win nine out ten every time?"
"Honestly, I've actually never tried it before, but with the knowledge and experience that I've received from an expert, I can say that I'm sure there will be no issues."
In fact, Chu Bai had only read some basic information about jade stones on the internet, but it was enough.
Right now, all he could think about was how to spend all the money after he earned a fortune from gambling on stones.
"If you have never actually done it before, isn't it just empty words?" The old principal was dumbfounded.
"Whether it's empty words or not, you'll find out soon." Chu Bai was brimming with self-confidence.
Although he had no experience in stone gambling, he had the ability to see through things, so for him, gambling on stones was just like picking up money.
"In that case, I will open my eyes wide and see what happens." The old principal smiled, full of anticipation.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the warehouse.
Chu Bai and Wang Haoran exchanged glances.
Chu Bai's gaze flashed with shock, followed by a look of resentment.
Xu Muyan is such a kind and lovely girl, and only he could treat her well and make her happy.
In front of him, this Wang Haoran was a total scum, not worthy of Xu Muyan's affection at all.
‘I must find an opportunity to talk to Xu Muyan properly.’
‘If not, Xu Muyan’s life will definitely be ruined by Wang Haoran!’
Wang Haoran didn't know what Chu Bai was thinking.
If he did, Wang Haoran would definitely throw up at Chu Bai for sure.
Does he think Xu Muyan will only be happy with him?
Just because she likes someone else, her life will be ruined?
This was just Chu Bai’s unreasonable thinking.
‘Sure, you like Xu Mogan, but you also like all other beautiful girls.’
‘You are just a scum who falls for every other girl!’
Of course, Wang Haoran regarded himself as a scum too.
However, he was the villain.
Wang Haoran shrugged off Chu Bai and walked up to greet the old school principal.
Tang Bingyun also came over and asked curiously, "Old man Ren, what took you so long?"
Although Principal Ren might be a subordinate under Tang Bingyun, he was renowned in the education industry and Tang Bingyun has great respect for him.
"This old man's eyes are not good, I was driving slowly, and I had a flat tire on the way." Speaking of this, the old school principal spoke with a bit of discontent, "I don't know who was so wicked enough to put nails on the road."
"Is the car still parked on the side of the road? Do you want me to have someone tow it?" Tang Bingyun asked politely.
"Fortunately, this little brother was there to help me replace the spare tyre, so the car is fine." The old principal looked at Chu Bai who was standing next to him.
Wang Haoran was surprised and glanced at Chu Bai.
This guy changed the spare tyre? He’s really something!
After hearing what the old principal said, Tang Bingyun also couldn't help but look at Chu Bai.
Just now, Chu Bai, who was still worried about Xu Muyan, had already pushed Xu Muyan out of his mind and only had eyes for Tang Bingyun in front of him.
‘This woman is too beautiful, right?’
‘Her beauty and temperament are simply incredible!’
‘This is the first time he has seen such a stunning woman.’
‘If I could become this woman's boyfriend, how happy would I be?’
"Old man Ren, why have you brought a stranger here?"
Chu Bai's ogling eyes made Tang Bingyun a little displeased.
"Oh, this is a student of mine. When he heard that there were gambling stones here, he came along to have some fun." The old school principal replied.
"This young boy knows how to gamble on stones?" Tang Bingyun looked at Chu Bai with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Beauty, I might look young, but I'm the best at gambling on stones in the entire Qingling City. If I call myself second, no one else would dare call themselves first." Chu Bai raised his head and exclaimed.
"Are you're not afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"
"You don't believe me? Let's make a bet, I'll choose ten stones, if eight of them have jade inside, I win, otherwise, it will be my loss."
"What happens if I win, and what happens if you win?" It was the first time Tang Bingyun had seen someone with such a big mouth, and she was very unconvinced.
"If you win, I will work in your factory for a lifetime for free, if I win, you… you have to become my girlfriend." Chu Bai is confident of victory, so he said boldly.
As soon as Tang Bingyun heard this, her eyebrows narrowed.
On the other side, Wang Haoran secretly spat out.
‘This Chu Bai really loves to make bets with people, last time it was with Xu Muyan, and now with Tang Bingyun, can you change it to something new, making bets every time, is it really that interesting?’
