Chapter 36:
Tang Bingyun's wealthy friends, seeing Wang Haoran making a fortune, were extremely jealous and immediately thought of trying their hand at gambling on stones.
Wang Haoran, who was not yet twenty years old, knew nothing about stone gambling. Moreover, when he selected rough stones, he just randomly chose them, like picking watermelons. He picked whichever one caught his eye.
Making so much money was certainly partly due to luck. But the most important thing was that most of the rough stones in this batch should be profitable.
"I'll give it a try again!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Li, who had lost 950,000 yuan previously, imitated Wang Haoran's "go with the flow" approach and picked five rough stones at once. Since he had already lost before, this time he couldn't continue to lose, right?
Unable to contain their thoughts anymore, others began picking out rough stones.
After the stones were chosen, the masters started their machines.
Tang Bingyun's wealthy friends surrounded the machines, all with smiles on their faces, waiting for the results.
As each rough stone was opened, Tang Bingyun and several appraisers immediately assessed profit or loss.
"Loss of 50,000."
"Loss of 100,000."
"Loss of 250,000."
"Loss of 800,000."
...
Smiles gradually disappeared from these wealthy individuals' faces. In the end, they looked like they had lost their souls.
The rough stones they chose were barely profitable. Even for those that made a profit, it was only a few tens of thousands. This was not enough to cover other rough stones losses.
They all lost.
The one who suffered the least lost 300,000, and the one who suffered the most lost 3.3 million.
Wang Haoran watched from the side, barely holding his laughter.
Among the remaining rough stones, there were few good ones left. There was no money to be made.
Originally, all these losses were supposed to be borne by Tang Bingyun, but they became the scapegoats, helping Tang Bingyun fill the pit.
"Master Wang, is there any secret to opening rough stones? Can you teach me?" The man surnamed Li, who had lost the most, approached Wang Haoran for advice.
"Did you see me carefully selecting rough stones? There's no secret to it. It's all luck." Wang Haoran's reply left Li speechless.
He could only assume that the Wang family's ancestors might have been blessed, with the family doing well in business but also having excellent luck in gambling.
...
At this time, an old-fashioned car arrived outside the factory.
From the car, the old principal and Chu Bai got out one after another.
"Chu Bai, is your stone gambling technique really that good? Can you win nine out of ten times?"
"To be honest, I've never tried it before, but with the experience passed down to me by the masters, it should be no problem." Chu Bai actually only read some basic knowledge about jade online, but that was enough.
He was thinking about how to spend the money he made from gambling on stones.
"You've never practiced before? Isn't that just empty talk?" the old principal was puzzled.
"Whether it's empty talk or not, principal, you'll soon find out," Chu Bai said confidently.
Although he had no experience gambling on stones, he could see through things, so gambling on stones was like picking up money for him.
"In that case, I'll open my eyes wide and wait." The old principal smiled expectantly.
After a while, the two arrived at the shed.
Chu Bai and Wang Haoran crossed paths.
At first, Chu Bai's eyes showed surprise, but then they were filled with deep disgust.
Xu Muyan, such a kind and lovely girl, could only be taken care of well by himself and given happiness.
The guy in front of him, Wang Haoran, was simply scum, not worthy of Xu Muyan's affection.
He must find time to talk to Xu Muyan properly.
Otherwise, Xu Muyan would definitely be ruined by Wang Haoran!
Chu Bai's thoughts were unknown to Wang Haoran.
If he knew, Wang Haoran would definitely mock Chu Bai like crazy.
'Will you definitely find happiness with Xu Muyan?'
'Liking someone will only ruin them.'
'This is so unreasonable.'
'You love Xu Muyan, that's true, but you love other beautiful girls.'
'You're just a scumbag who likes one today and another tomorrow!'
Of course, Wang Haoran considered himself a scumbag too.
But he's the villain, after all.
Wang Haoran shook off his thoughts and went up to greet the old principal.
Tang Bingyun also came over, curious: "Principal Ren, why did you come now?"
Although Principal Ren and Tang Bingyun had a superior-subordinate relationship, Principal Ren had a high reputation in the education industry, so Tang Bingyun respected him.
"My eyesight is not good, so I drive slowly. I had a flat tire on the way, which delayed me for a long time." At this point, Principal Ren complained a bit: "I don't know who's so nasty as to put nails on the road."
"Is the car still parked on the side of the road? Should I have someone to move it for you?" Tang Bingyun politely offered.
"Fortunately, this young man beside me helped me change the spare tire, so everything's fine now," Principal Ren said, glancing at Chu Bai beside him.
Wang Haoran glanced at Chu Bai in surprise.
This guy can change a spare tire too? Damn, he's really something!
Hearing Principal Ren's words, Tang Bingyun also looked at Chu Bai involuntarily.
Chu Bai, who had been worried about Xu Muyan just now, had completely thrown Xu Muyan to the back of his mind at this moment. He only had eyes for Tang Bingyun in front of him.
Was this woman really so beautiful?
This looks, this temperament, simply extraordinary!
It's the first time he's ever seen such a stunning woman.
If he could become this woman's boyfriend, how happy would he be?
"Principal Ren, why did you bring a stranger here?" Chu Bai's scrutinizing gaze made Tang Bingyun somewhat displeased.
"Oh, this is my student. He heard there's gambling on stones here, so he came to play." Principal Ren said.
"Such a young kid, does he understand gambling on stones?" Tang Bingyun looked at Chu Bai, her mouth curled with a sneer.
"Beauty, despite my young age, when it comes to gambling on stones, I'm the best in the entire Qingling City. No one dares to claim otherwise." Chu Bai raised his head proudly.
"Speaking arrogantly, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Don't believe me? Let's make a bet. I'll choose ten stones. If I profit from eight of them, it means I win; otherwise, I lose."
"What if I win? And what if you win?" Tang Bingyun was the first to see someone with such a big mouth, feeling quite unconvinced.
"If you win, I'll work in your factory for free for the rest of my life. If I win, you... you'll be my girlfriend." Chu Bai, with victory in his grasp, boldly proposed.
Tang Bingyun frowned.
Meanwhile, Wang Haoran secretly sighed.
This Chu Bai really loves to bet. Last time it was with Xu Muyan, and now it's with Tang Bingyun.
'You can trick a girl like Xu Muyan, but can't you find someone else new every time? Is it interesting to bet every time?'
