“So you are the No.1 campus beauty of Donghai University! I’ve heard a lot about you!” Chen Fusheng let go of Zhang Jun and tried to shake hands with Lin Xian.
With a loud “Ahem!” Ye Qian wasn’t happy that both men turned their attention towards Lin Xian. She felt left out and angry.
At the same time, as the No.1 campus beauty, Lin Xian’s elegance and beauty dampened her own. She felt jealousy rising in her heart.
Chen Fusheng remembered his fiancée and took back his hand. “Do you know each other?” he asked.
Zhang Jun was introducing the two to Lin Xian. “They were the people I told you about, Chen Fusheng and Ye Qian. They organized the whole reunion party.”
Lin Xian smiled gracefully. “We’re all Donghai alumni! It’s great to meet you!”
“Yes! It’s great seeing alumni around here! How about you come over for dinner? My treat.” Chen Fusheng seized the opportunity.
Lin Xian apologized, “Sorry, I already made plans for tonight. Please let me treat you some other time.”
Chen Fusheng didn’t try to hide his disappointment. “That’s unfortunate. I hope we can see each other in the future.” Suddenly he had an idea, “In two days there will be an alumni reunion and lots of people are coming. Maybe you could come to that instead? We will be honored to have you there.”
Zhang Jun cringed inside. Now the class reunion had become an “alumni reunion”, how convenient for Chen Fusheng.
Lin Xian smiled. “I will definitely come if I have the time.” she said.
Chen Fusheng was all smiles. “Then we eagerly await your presence.”
After some pleasantries Lin Xian handed her stone to Zhang Jun. “Lucky boy, I want some of your luck too. How is this one?”
When people gamble on stones, they say that “one slice he’s broke, one slice he’s rich.” It was 30% expertise and 70% luck, so Lin Xian wasn’t just being polite.
Zhang Jun took the black stone and looked at it. With his X-ray vision he saw only a sliver of green, the rest of the stone was worthless.
“I don’t like it. And I don’t like the price. Ninety thousand is too much.” He said.
Lin Xian nodded and turned to return the stone, but Chen Fusheng had other ideas. “I trust Miss Lin’s judgement! I’ll buy this one.”
Zhang Jun thought, yeah, get fucked you son of a bitch. He didn’t show his thoughts though, and just said, “Well I don’t know much about it, so don’t take my word on this one. Maybe you’ll get something.”
The stone was not Lin Xian’s anyway, of course she would get rid of it. Lin Xian handed it over with a smile. “Good luck!”
Chen Fusheng accepted the stone smiling as well, then he took it to the operators. Ye Qian followed him angrily. She never said a word to Lin Xian.
Zhang Jun then said, “Senior Lin, just let me pick one for you.”
Lin Xian was thinking the same thing. “Of course! If you picked the right one, you get 20 percent of the share!”
Zhang Jun chortled. “And if I didn’t?”
Lin Xian made an angry face. “Then you owe me 20 percent.”
Of course, she was just kidding. Before long, Zhang Jun found a black rock as big as a watermelon. It said 99 thousand on the price tag.
Black gamble stones were mined from the bottom of the pits. Pine flower patterns covered their jet-black crust.
When he X-rayed the rock, Zhang Jun almost choked. Inside that rock was a chunk of Regal Green Ice-jade as big as a teapot!
Regal Green was one of the rarest jade colors, hence the name. At the same time, it was an ice-jade, which further increased its value.
Lin Xian noticed Zhang Jun’s change and asked him, “You like this one?”
Zhang Jun hesitated. The stone’s worth tens of millions, of course he wanted to keep it.
Then he laughed at his own thoughts. With this ability, I can definitely find better jade in the future. Lin Xian is a great person. I’ll just gift it to her!
He smiled and turned to Lin Xian. “Yes, I do like this one. Do you trust me?”
“Of course! I have faith in your luck.” Lin Xian asked the waiter to bring the stone to the sanding machines.
When they got there, Chen Fusheng’s stone was already cut open. As expected, there was only a sliver of green, which meant he lost. The bystanders looked sympathetic.
Ye Qian jeered, “Great, 90 thousand for a stupid rock.”
Chen Fusheng was in a bad mood. He yelled, “Stop complaining. It’s just 90 thousand. I don’t give a damn!” As soon as he saw Lin Xian and Zhang Jun, he wore a smile again and went up to them.
“Miss Lin, you’ve made your choice?”
Lin Xian nodded. “Yes, Zhang Jun picked one for me. I’m here for the results.”
Chen Fusheng was feeling resentful after he just lost his stone. He didn’t believe this poor lad could do any better. This stone probably didn’t have a speck of jade in it.
He said to Zhang Jun, “Do you know anything about stone gambling? This is 90 thousand yuan. You shouldn’t be wasting other people’s money!”
Zhang Jun just said, “Let’s see the results.” He picked up a pen and drew a circle on the stone for the stone cutter’s reference.
The cutter went to work without saying anything. If it was the customer’s idea, he wouldn’t be held accountable. He also thought Zhang Jun had a reasonable idea, which made it even less likely for him to object.
Stone gambling was an entertaining activity. Before the stone was cut open, everyone would have high expectations, and Lin Xian was the same. She stared at the black stone and breathed heavily.
Chen Fusheng also stared at the stone, but he was hoping that nothing would come out of it, so this lad would be humiliated.
Zhang Jun was calm because he already knew what was going to happen.
Soon a slice of stone was removed. Immediately the cross section glittered watery green. A sharp-eyed person from the audience cried out, “Look! He struck green!”
When the stone cutter turned the stone to get a closer look, he gasped and told Lin Xian, “Miss, you won big this time! It’s Regal Green Ice-jade! Huge win!”
