"I'm saying, has Wang Yijun gone crazy from losing? How could he let some greenhorn kid pick raw stones for him?"
"He might have really lost his cool! After all, he's already lost nearly ten million before. Now he probably thinks the kid has got good luck on his side!"
"Hmph! That kid got lucky once; I don't believe he can be that fortunate a second time!"
"..."
The people around were all talking, none of them optimistic about Wang Yijun asking Ye Feng to pick raw stones for him, while Xue Jing and her boyfriend were full of ridicule!
"You think this guy will agree? I bet he'll probably do it just to ingratiate himself with Wang Yijun," Xue Jing asked her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend pondered for a moment, a teasing smile quickly spreading across his face:
"If this guy really agrees, then we're in for a show! If he loses his luck and Wang Yijun loses money again, the brown-nosing won't work, and he'll definitely end up on Wang Yijun's bad side! Hmph…"
As they talked, they looked mockingly at Ye Feng, waiting for his response.
At that moment Wang Yijun was also looking at Ye Feng:
"Young man, how about it?"
"Alright! Since you trust me so much, I'll pick one for you," Ye Feng said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy surfaced on Wang Yijun's face, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you want cash, or a cheque?"
"Cheque! I'm also looking to buy another raw stone," Ye Feng replied indifferently.
Hearing his response, Wang Yijun gestured, and a beautiful female assistant behind him came forward, took out a chequebook from her bag, drafted five hundred thousand, and handed it to Ye Feng!
Ye Feng accepted the cheque, then handed the top-grade ice-type jade to Wang Yijun, and they headed to the raw stone selling area!
Seeing there was a spectacle to watch, the others followed as well. They were curious to see if Ye Feng would continue to be lucky.
"This guy really wants to suck up to Wang Yijun! Hmph! However, if his luck runs out and he picks a worthless stone for Wang Yijun, I wonder if Wang Yijun will kill him!"
Xue Jing and her boyfriend, full of disdain and mockery, followed as well.
In the raw stone selling area, there were various stones of different sizes and shapes, some even bisected to reveal a glimpse of green jade inside.
However, the prices here were also shocking – the cheaper ones started at over a hundred thousand, and the more expensive ones could reach up to ten million!
Ye Feng and Xiao Cui walked side by side, with Wang Yijun beside them.
The group continuously scanned the available raw stones. Ye Feng would occasionally stop to examine the texture and color of the stones but shook his head after each one.
After passing through the area with some expensive stones, and noticing Ye Feng still hadn't picked out any stone he liked, Wang Yijun laughed and said:
"Young man, you don't have to worry about saving money for me! As long as you can pick out a top quality raw jade stone for me, that's enough!"
At this point, Wang Yijun thought Ye Feng was wary of the high prices and hesitant to make a choice, thus he tried to encourage him.
However, Ye Feng just shook his head and said nothing.
It was only when the group passed through a section of the low-priced raw stones that Ye Feng finally stopped.
In front of him was a large, hundred-pound stone, its surface coarse and unevenly brown, with visible cracks all over – it was almost indistinguishable from waste material.
Despite its large size, the price of this stone was only 110,000 yuan, probably the cheapest in the selling area!
Ye Feng walked around the stone a few times, then squatted down and kept scrutinizing it closely.
He examined every single line and every shade of color with exceptional attention. After a long time, he finally stood up and said to Wang Yijun:
"You can buy this piece of rough stone."
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat taken aback!
The people here were all quite knowledgeable about rough stones. They all knew that this large rough stone was just a raw material.
Not only the color and texture, but even the transparency of the jade inside was absolutely the lowest grade in this place; fifty percent was without jade, and the remaining fifty percent might possibly be of low-grade jade!
That is to say, among the evaluations of rough stones, this piece was the worst kind. Otherwise, such a large rough stone wouldn't be so cheap!
And now, Ye Feng was actually suggesting Wang Yijun buy this worst piece of the rough stone, which was simply...
After a moment of surprise, everyone's gaze towards Ye Feng was filled with mocking jest. With Wang Yijun's fortune, perhaps he had never bought such a poorly graded and priced rough stone before!
Not only them, but Wang Yijun's expression also appeared to fluctuate greatly, and he even began to doubt his own judgment!
"Could it be that this young fellow relies purely on luck?"
Wang Yijun was somewhat perplexed. Such a poor piece of the rough stone, any person could tell that the likelihood of it yielding jade was extremely small—if Ye Feng really were an expert, how could he not see that?
With this in mind, Wang Yijun frowned and asked Ye Feng:
"Young man, are you sure there's jade in this piece of rough stone?"
Ye Feng, seeing the look on Wang Yijun's face, knew what he was thinking and shrugged his shoulders:
"I've already told you. Whether you buy it or not is up to you!"
Having said that, Ye Feng no longer paid any attention to Wang Yijun, taking Xiao Cui and heading toward other jade rough stone selling areas!
Watching Ye Feng walk away as he spoke, Wang Yijun's expression instantly turned somewhat unsightly. The rest of the people could all now be certain that the guy was just relying on luck and really didn't know how to appraise rough stones!
Seeing Wang Yijun's displeased expression, Xue Jing and companions couldn't help but rejoice inwardly:
"Haha... This kid finally blew his cover! Even an idiot could see that this large rough stone is of extremely low quality, and yet this fellow actually advised Wang Yijun to buy such a poor stone. There's going to be a good show!"
"Yeah! Look at the expression on Wang Yijun's face, he must be regretting it now!"
Xue Jing and companions whispered among themselves, while a nearby staffer cautiously approached Wang Yijun, asking:
"Boss Wang, about this..."
This staffer's expression was a bit strange; he knew that the rough stones Wang Yijun usually bought were all high-grade ones worth millions. Whether he would buy such a low-grade rough stone now was really hard to say!
Wang Yijun, staring at Ye Feng's retreating figure, pondered for a long while before clenching his teeth:
"Buy! Help me take this rough stone to the stone-cutting area!"
After settling the bill, Wang Yijun then headed towards Ye Feng's location!
When he arrived next to Ye Feng, he found him squatting in front of a pile of waste, holding a cut piece of waste in his hand with a fond look!
Seeing this, the corner of Wang Yijun's mouth twitched; he had come to understand that this bastard was addicted to picking up leftovers!
