Chapter 84: A Heavy Blow
When all the remaining jade pieces were extracting, no one was willing to speak. Instead, they quietly watched and admired, silently excited.
Yellow jade, red jade, purple jade, black jade, and so on. There was a three-colored jade, and even an amazing five-colored jade.
The five blessings jade, green, purple, yellow, red, and white, these five colors formed a beautiful gradient of rainbow colors. When they were combined together, they gave off a bright and clear feeling. The warm touch made the walls transparent, elegant, and lively.
This kind of jade had a very good implication. It had an auspicious meaning, and it was even said to have great luck. It required a lot of luck to possess a five blessings jade. And to be able to extract the five blessings jade out of a raw stone, that could only mean that one’s luck was completely off the chart.
Originally, after Gu Qingchen obtained the large-scale old pit imperial green glass jade, she had already won.!!
Now that she obtained an extremely rare top-grade jade. The five blessing jade was the most dazzling one. Everyone was envy of Gu Qingchen.
It had to be said that Gu Qingchen had won completely. Her victory was overbearing!
More than fifty raw stones had jades at the same time. Two pieces of old pit imperial green glass jades, various top-grade jades, and a five blessing jade. Any one of them would be able to overwhelm Jiang Zhong.
Jiang Zhong had lost.
And he had lost completely.
Gu Qingchen turned around and looked at Jiang Zhong, who was being supported by someone. She smiled and said, “Boss Jiang, oh, no, wrong name. It should be Mr. Jiang. I’m very sorry about your loss, and I accidentally won.”
“No, you can’t win. There’s definitely something wrong here. I’ve already made arrangements. How can you win!”
Jiang Zhong’s mind was not very clear at this moment. He only felt a buzzing sound. He could not believe what he was seeing.
He had clearly asked someone to change Gu Qingchen’s raw stones. This situation should not happen at all.
There must be something wrong. There must be something wrong.
That’s right!
The person who helped him change his raw stones!
Jiang Zhong looked around and finally saw the man he had bribed to help him change his raw stones. He immediately rushed over and grabbed the man’s collar.
“You… It’s you, aren’t it? It must be you. It must be you!”
The man who was grabbed by the collar forcefully flung Jiang Zhong away. Then, he took out a check from his pocket and threw it on Jiang Zhong’s face with a righteous expression.
“Jiang Zhong, this is the 50,000 dollars check that you gave me. I’ll return it to you intact. You wanted to use money to bribe me to help you change Ms. Gu’s raw stones, but I refuse to help you!”
A check with 50,000 dollars written on it landed on Jiang Zhong’s face. This check was the one that Jiang Zhong had bribed him with.
Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned ferocious as he roared, “You b*stard! You took my money and didn’t help me do anything. Do you want to die?!”
The man snorted, “No matter what, I won’t help you do those dirty things. If you want to win, then use fair and square means. How could you want to change Ms. Gu raw stones behind her back? How could you be so shameless? Moreover, our association absolutely won’t allow this kind of behavior. As a member of the fair, how can I help you do this kind of thing?”
Boom!
Everyone finally understood. It turned out that Jiang Zhong was so shameless that he secretly spent money to bribe the members of the association in an attempt to replace Gu Qingchen’s raw stones.
For people like them who were in the jade business, this was the most intolerable thing.
They usually bought the raw stones first and then transported them. The reason why they were so relieved was entirely because of their trust in the association.
If the people at the association really did such things in private, how could they trust the association.
Jiang Zhong’s practice was hated by everyone. Those who had thought highly of Jiang Zhong before all looked at him with disdain.
Those who had done business with Jiang Zhong before and those who had contacted Jiang Zhong to do business this time all warned themselves in their hearts that after today, they absolutely could not do business with people like Jiang Zhong.
Otherwise, Jiang Zhong might stab them in the back at some point.
“Jiang Zhong, you actually dared to bribe someone from our association. How shameless! This is a serious insult to us! As the vice-president of the fair, I solemnly declare that from today onwards, we will blacklist Jiang Zhong. We will definitely not allow Jiang Zhong to take a step into our fair!”
The vice-president was furious. The consequences were severe.
One had to know that all the raw stones in the country came from this place. The fact that Jiang Zhong was blacklisted by the Jade Association meant that he would never step into the jade business again.
Jiang Zhong clenched his fist angrily. He glared at the vice-president and then at the man who had bribed him. He actually wanted to beat that man up. Fortunately, that man reacted quickly and was not hit by Jiang Zhong.
“You tricked me! You actually dared to trick me! I get it now. Did you collude with Ding Hao and set a trap for me?”
Jiang Zhong was not a pushover. He quickly reacted. This man’s attitude today was completely different from a few days ago. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
If that person was really an upright person, he would not have revealed a greedy look when he saw the 50,000 dollars check that day. He would not have happily accepted the check.
Today, that person suddenly turned against him. Ding Hao must have bribed him.
That’s right, that must be the case.
Jiang Zhong didn’t think that Ding Hao would know that he had done this so secretly.
Or… Ding Hao didn’t know about this at all. It was completely Gu Qingchen’s doing!
God!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhong felt a chill down his spine. That’s right, it must be Gu Qingchen. No wonder he had the feeling that Gu Qingchen seemed to have seen through everything. It turned out that she really knew everything.
How was this possible? How Old was Gu Qingchen? She was just a little girl. How could a child possibly possess such deep thoughts and hide hide her emotions so well?
Ding Hao really did not know anything. When he heard that Jiang Zhong had poured dirty water on him, he was instantly furious. He pointed at Jiang Zhong and scolded.
“Jiang Zhong, you despicable and shameless person. I’m not as cunning as you. Don’t blame me for this. I won’t tolerate your behavior! You’ve lost, and that’s it. You don’t have to find any excuse and do all these little tricks. Haven’t you lost enough face!?”
Jiang Zhong glared at Gu Qingchen. He grinned his teeth so hard that his teeth almost shattered. Gu Qingchen still looked indifferent, and even gave Jiang Zhong a big smile.
After seeing her smile, Jiang Zhong immediately flew into anger. He could see that it was indeed Gu Qingchen who was playing tricks. It was really Gu Qingchen.
“Vice-president, now that the result has been decided, can we take the bet?”
Jiang Zhong was already a loser. Gu Qingchen’s goal had never been to anger Jiang Zhong, but to take away Jiang Zhong’s jade and assets.
It was impossible for Jiang Zhong to take out all his assets, but taking away Jiang Zhong’s jade would probably make Jiang Zhong vomit blood and give him a heavy blow.
