When she saw the emerald green color, Lin Xian’s heart started pounding quickly. She looked at Zhang Jun in shock.
Zhang Jun smiled and said, “You are lucky today too. Isn’t this a Regal Green Ice-jade?”
Lin Xian breathed again and nodded, “I’m almost certain it is, but I have to take a closer look.” She took out her own flashlight and bent over to examine the piece of jade. Sweat started to form on the tip of her pointy nose.
Chen Fusheng’s dismay showed on his face. Where did this lad’s luck come from? This jade is probably worth a lot.”
Ye Qian felt even more upset. The guy she rejected was turning his luck around? First, he became friends with the prettiest campus beauty, now he’s getting rich by stone-gambling? She looked down on him years ago and insulted him after all. Still, she didn’t believe that the poor lad had any skills; it was just luck.
Lin Xian had finished her inspection. Her family was in the jade business, so naturally she became an expert herself. Promptly, she came to a conclusion and spoke in a low voice, “Regal Green Ice-jade, very close to glass-jade too! If the inside is the same substance, the jade could be worth tens of millions!”
Jade originated from Myanmar and people had been mining it for hundreds of years, slowly depleting local sources. Therefore, jade price had been skyrocketing in recent years. Now, a fist-sized Regal Green Glass-jade could sell for hundreds of millions.
This chunk of jade wasn’t glass-type, but its Shui-tou looked very good, placing it between ice-jade and glass-jade. It could easily sell for tens of millions.
Lin Xian’s words shocked Chen Fusheng. Tens of millions? That’s the amount his company made in a year!
Ye Qian stared at the jade in Lin Xian’s hands. She suddenly felt an urge to ask Zhang Jun to pick a stone for her as well, but swallowed the words when she remembered how she treated Zhang Jun years ago.
Zhang Jun looked genuinely shocked as well. He knew the stone was precious, but he didn’t expect it to be so invaluable. What did ten million yuan mean? It was astronomical number. If your net worth exceeds ten million, you would enter the upper class.
Lin Xian straightened up and told Zhang Jun, “As I promised, if we win, you get 20 percent. Zhang Jun, you’re rich!”
Zhang Jun couldn’t help but think that he could improve his parents’ quality of life, and that he didn’t have to worry about being unemployed.
Lin Xian sighed in relief and beckoned to Li Hu who was standing by. She told Li Hu to put away the stone and turned to Zhang Jun, “You have 3 million to spend. Can I join you for the rest of the day? I want to see if your luck can continue.”
Zhang Jun suddenly realized he shouldn’t be showing off his X-ray vision too much. He had already won twice today, and he was getting too much attention.
So he said, “It was just chance. I probably won’t be so lucky next time.”
Chen Fusheng added, “Yeah, you can’t count on luck all the time.”
Lin Xian didn’t look at him, but left with Zhang Jun cheerfully.
Staring at their back, Chen Fusheng suddenly felt resentful. He always felt that he was better than Zhang Jun, that he was the protagonist of life, while Zhang Jun would remain a supporting character all his life. However, Zhang Jun took all the spotlight today and made him feel like he lost. He didn’t like losing.
Ye Qian bit her lips and asked him, “Fusheng, can we go too? Maybe we can win as well!”
Chen Fusheng looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly felt repulsed. Back in the days, compared to other girls, Ye Qian was the pretty and sexy one who looked like a goddess.
But now, after seeing Lin Xian, he started to compare the two, and decided Ye Qian was inferior in every way.
“I am Chen Fusheng. I have money and I have power. Only a woman like Lin Xian deserves to be mine.” He thought to himself. Lin Xian’s image rose in his head again. He savored her pretty face and her curvy body.
His looks made Ye Qian unconformable. She asked, “Fusheng, why are you looking at me like that?”
Chen Fusheng almost snorted, but he just said, “Yes, you can buy stones if you like.”
Zhang Jun and Lin Xian picked some stones from C Zone and B Zone. When they were in B Zone, they stopped in front of a white, opal-shaped halite.
The stone was about 50 centimeters in diameter, with dark green pine flower patterns on its crust. Just like the black stone before, this halite sample was also a type of jade rough.
Zhang Jun stood there for 30 seconds without any expressions. Li Xian stepped forward and asked, “Zhang Jun, is there anything special about this one?”
Zhang Jun said nonchalantly, “No, just a little expensive, that’s all.”
Lin Xian darted a glance at the price tag. “The green color on these patterns looks very promising. I don’t think 880 thousand is too much.”
“Well, if you say so.” Zhang Jun nodded and asked a waiter to take down the stone number.
Lin Xian rolled her eyes. “Just like that? Aren’t you going to give it another look?”
Zhang Jun answered, “I’m good. Besides, I know nothing about jade, so I’ll trust my luck.”
Zhang Jun looked calm but he was bubbling inside. The jade inside this rock could give the Regal Green Ice-jade a good run for its money, because this one was a Violet Glass-jade.
Lin Xian had told him that Violet Glass-jade was on the rise. Not long ago, a Violet Glass-jade bracelet was sold for 5 million HKD.
This piece of Violet Glass-jade was enormous. If it was used to make bracelets, it could produce hundreds of them!
This violet jade was probably worth a hundred million! Zhang Jun’s heart pounded fast.
