Chapter 81: Did She Know About It?

More and more people placed their bets.
The cutting speed also became faster and faster. Very quickly, almost every cutter had done cutting their first raw stones.
“How was it? Did you see the result? How many jades did both sides get?”
Some people couldn’t wait any longer.
In the end, they counted the 56 raw stones on Ding Hao’s side. Only 12 of them had jades, good or bad, but none of them were particularly stunning.!!
Jiang Zhong’s side was different. He got high-grade ice jade and high-grade ice jade out of 25 raw stones, and they were all pretty good. If they were only comparing these, Ding Hao would have already lost.
Seeing this result, Jiang Zhong became even more proud, and he as conceited as a barber’s cat.
“Hahaha, Ding Hao, I know you’ve only bought so little raw stones in the past few days. I’m afraid that you’ve already cut all of your raw stones. But I’m different. I still have a lot. Tell me… is there a need for us to continue this competition?”
Ding Hao’s body stiffened slightly. Jiang Zhong knew all of his trump cards. Now, he could only look forward to Gu Qingchen’s side.
Gu Qingchen looked at Ding Hao. She smiled and took a step forward to meet the arrogant Jiang Zhong.
“Boss Jiang seems to be very confident, but it doesn’t matter. I like to undermine people’s confidence. Come, bring up the second batch of raw stones.”
Gu Qingchen waved her hand, and someone immediately started to lift up the raw stones. The speed was very fast, and Gu Qingchen had already started to process the raw stones she bought.
Jiang Zhong’s side was not willing to be outdone. They also started their second batch of raw stones.
After the second, third, and fourth batch of raw stones were processed, the difference of Gu Qingchen’s raw stone quantity and Jiang Zhong’s side had increased.
Jiang Zhong’s side already had more than 100 pieces of jade. As for Gu Qingchen’s side, she only had more than 30 pieces.
In other words, many of Gu Qingchen’s raw stones were scrap, and there were not many raw stones with jadeite.
It was basically a one-sided situation.
If this went on, Gu Qingchen’s side would basically lose in the fifth round.
When the fifth round came up, the enthusiasm of the surrounding crowd was basically gone. Jiang Zhong seemed to have expected that Gu Qingchen’s raw stones would end up badly.
“Little girl, you’re too inexperience. This is the last batch of raw stones. Don’t cry after you get your result.”
Jiang Zhong was not Shen Dongyang. He could be easily fooled by others. He had always been the one who fooled others. No one had the chance to fool him.
Gu Qingchen’s expression did not change. She only said slowly, “My people are also tired. Let’s take a break for now. Boss Jiang, let’s start first.”
Jiang Zhong snorted proudly. With a wave of his hand, the stone-cutting crew started again.
In order to better stimulate Gu Qingchen and the others, he had purposely placed the best raw stones in the fifth wave. He wanted to let them know what despair was at the last moment.
Jiang Zhong was extremely smug. The raw stone that everyone had been looking forward to, the one that had been polished out of the window, actually had jades.
It was a pity that the jade inside was not big. It was only enough to make two sets of bracelets.
But even so, there were still many people who coveted it. They hoped that Jiang Zhong would be able to sell them this old pit imperial green glass jade.
Everyone’s pursuit satisfied Jiang Zhong’s vanity, and he raised his nose even higher.
All of Jiang Zhong’s raw stones had been processed . To be honest, he had a high rate of getting jades, and many of them were good jades that could be sold at a good price.
“We’ve already finished everything here. How much longer do you want to rest? Little girl, there’s no use in stalling for time. Are you afraid right now? Hehe, it’s too late!”
Gu Qingchen’s smile was very strange. Jiang Zhong suddenly felt a little uncertain. After thinking for a while, he decided to confirm with the people around him whether they had secretly replaced all the raw stones that Gu Qingchen had bought with poor quality ones.
Jiang Zhong was relieved when the people around him gave an affirmative answer.
“Since Boss Jiang is in such a hurry to lose, I won’t stop you. Let’s begin.”
Gu Qingchen gave the order and more than 50 stone cutters started to work together. They had just rested for a while, and now they felt much more energetic.
For a moment, the sound of the stone being cut and polished began to fill the venue again.
At first, Jiang Zhong was still feeling smug, as if victory was within his grasp. But in the end, Jiang Zhong’s expression changed.
After the first piece of raw stone was finished, the stone cutter cried out in surprise, “It’s jade! It’s high-grade ice floating flower jade, it weighs ten catties!”
This cry seemed to be a fuse that caused the scene to explode instantly.
“D*mn! Ten catties? Such a big piece is really rare!”
“Finally, there’s something to see. I wonder if there are any other surprises in the last batch of raw stones.”
“Hurry up and place your bets. Once the last wave is over, the bets will stop!”
Ding Hao was about to give up. He thought that with Gu Qingchen’s selection of so many raw stones, there should be quite a number which contained jades. However, during the second, third, and fourth batch, the number of jade was extremely low. He thought that he would definitely lose this time.
Fortunately, the first raw stone from the fifth wave was a high-grade ice jade. It gave him a boost.
“We get one. We finally get one jade again after a while. God, please bless us!”
Ding Hao put his hands together and really prayed. Gu Yuanchuan knew that he was nervous, so he kept comforting Ding Hao.
Although Jiang Zhong was very unhappy that Gu Qingchen had opened the high-grade ice jade, he still spoke very strongly.
“Humph, it’s just a piece of high-grade ice jade. I have a lot of it. Do you really think that you can turn the situation around with just a piece of high-grade ice jade? Hehe, you’re dreaming!”
Gu Qingchen curled her lips slightly and said meaningfully, “Boss Jiang, do you know that you’re very lucky?”
Lucky?
What did that mean?
Jiang Zhong frowned, narrowed his small eyes, and pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing that Jiang Zhong did not understand, Gu Qingchen did not explain to him. She only said slowly, “You have less experience of heaven than Shen Dongyang.”
Originally, Gu Qingchen liked to torture people bit by bit, but today was a pressing day, and she still had to process so many jades. She did not have time to play with Jiang Zhong.
Otherwise, Gu Qingchen would definitely let Jiang Zhong experience Shen Dongyang’s feelings.
Today, Jiang Zhong could only fall straight into hell.
“Humph, stop acting mysterious here.”
Gu Qingchen shook her head. “Acting mysterious? Hehe, Jiang Zhong, do you really think that I don’t know what you’ve done behind my back?”
Boom!
Jiang Zhong’s heart sank and his eyes almost narrowed into slits. After a long while, he said, “Don’t you frame me without any evidence. Hehe, even if I really did something, what can you do?”
Gu Qingchen tilted her head to look at Jiang Zhong, then turned to look at the stone with a smile and said faintly, “You’ll know in a while.”
This kind of mysterious and unclear feeling always made people worried and unable to calm down.
Jiang Zhong secretly looked at Gu Qingchen who was not nervous at all. He did not know why, but at this moment, a trace of nervousness rose in his heart.
Could it be that Gu Qingchen knew what he had done behind the scenes?
