Soon, several people walked onto the stage.
To further humiliate Wu Tian, Li Chen deliberately told everyone about the bet.
Naturally, such a bet garnered everyone's curiosity.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on them.
Even those who were originally gambling on stones on stage voluntarily made space for the two.
Dozens of rough stones were placed on the stage, along with specialized machines and masters to cut them.
Li Chen glanced at the rough stones and then smiled at Wu Tian:
"Don't say I'm bullying you. How about this, I'll let you choose first, giving you three chances, what do you say?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No need, you go first."
"It's also a chance for me to see what kind of skill your Li's Jewelry's eldest young master actually possesses."
Li Chen felt that Wu Tian had backed down.
He sneered and said, "Nice words. You think I can't cut out anything good, don't you?"
"After all, if I fail, you won't lose at the very least."
Wu Tian smiled without speaking.
Li Chen continued, "If you think these little tricks are useful to me, then you are gravely mistaken."
"Let me tell you, you might need more than ten chances to beat me, but I only need one chance to beat you!"
After speaking, Li Chen pointed at a rough stone: "No matter which stone you choose next, I want this one."
"Oh?" Wu Tian smiled indifferently, "Alright, since you want it, then you can choose that stone. I have no problem with that."
Li Chen grinned and said, "Still a professional stone gambler, can't even tell how amazing this stone is."
"My guess was indeed correct, you're just a fraud!"
Saying that, he smiled at Tang Qi again, "President Tang, it seems you have to go on a date with me tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll definitely book the best room."
If it were any other time, Tang Qi would have slapped Li Chen if he spoke like that.
But she knew she couldn't make such a mistake this time.
After all, the bet had already been made, and there were so many influential people watching.
If she resorted to force, it would only make her seem petty.
Therefore, she said coldly, "Don't speak too soon. The outcome is not yet decided!"
Li Chen shrugged and then sighed, "Alas, President Tang, you truly don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"You're clearly a smart woman, why can't you figure this out?"
"Fine, if you still want to put up a front at this point, it doesn't matter. Anyway, once the result is out, you won't be able to hold on any longer."
After speaking, he had the stone-cutting master pick up the rough stone and begin cutting.
The stone-cutting machine whirred, and stone dust continuously fell to the ground.
Actually, Tang Qi was also very uncertain.
So at this moment, she couldn't help but gently clasp her jade hands over her chest, fearing that she would truly lose the bet.
Wu Tian noticed Tang Qi's nervousness and smiled faintly, "You don't need to be so nervous. Don't worry, he can't win against me."
Upon hearing this, although Tang Qi felt a little relieved, her face was still full of worry.
Everyone present also watched the stone-cutting master's actions nervously.
They were also full of curiosity, wanting to see if Li Chen could indeed cut out any good jade.
Li Chen looked as if victory was assured and sneered at Wu Tian, "You don't need to look anymore. No matter how much you look, it's useless. Just wait to accept the facts!"
Tang Qi said angrily, "You haven't cut out any jade yet, so why are you acting like this? Saying such things now is too early!"
Li Chen smiled and said, "This is just a matter of time."
"Just wait, the jade you want will be cut out soon."
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking.
At this moment, the stone-cutting master exclaimed, "Got it, got it!"
Immediately, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats, and Tang Qi felt as if her heartbeat was about to stop.
Her delicate body trembled slightly as she said, "What is it? Speak clearly, what is it?"
The stone-cutting master held the stone in surprise and said, "My heavens, it's Imperial Green!"
"This stone contains Imperial Green!"
As soon as this was said, Tang Qi's pretty face immediately lost all color.
She took two steps back, her slender long legs almost unable to support her body, and she almost fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" she said incredulously, "Master, you must have misread it!"
She couldn't believe such a thing. It was one thing for that stone to yield jade, but it was actually the king of jade, Imperial Green?
If that was the case, what chance did Wu Tian have of winning!
The stone-cutting master said, "It's really Imperial Green! I'm not lying to you!"
"If you don't believe me, just wait until I cut the entire stone!"
After speaking, the stone-cutting master sped up his actions.
Before long, the entire rough stone was cut open.
The stone-cutting master held the piece of jade and said to the crowd, "Everyone, look, is this truly Imperial Green!"
The crowd consisted of influential people, so they could tell at a glance whether it was Imperial Green.
And the jade in the stone-cutting master's hand... was indeed Imperial Green!
"Look quickly, it's really Imperial Green!"
When everyone saw the jade in the stone-cutting master's hand, exclamations rained down like a downpour.
"It's incredible, this is the first time in my life I've seen Imperial Green cut from a gamble stone!"
"Who isn't? It seems that Li Chen from Li's Jewelry is truly not simple!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Li Chen felt very proud.
This was the effect he wanted, and now he truly experienced the feeling of showing off.
He looked at Tang Qi with a smile and said, "President Tang, did you see that? This is genuine Imperial Green."
"I know you intend to protect that kid, but what's the use of that."
"Facts speak louder than words. My piece of Imperial Green should be enough to prove everything, right?"
Tang Qi's expression was very ugly. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
After all, the other party had already cut out something like Imperial Green. No matter how much she argued, it would be a waste of effort.
Li Chen was very excited, his gaze becoming more presumptuous. When he looked at Tang Qi, his eyes were like invisible hands, as if wanting to touch her all over.
He said with a grin, "President Tang, it seems this time, you've truly trusted the wrong person."
"But it's fine, this also gives me an opportunity to show myself."
"Don't worry, President Tang, I have many more things you don't know. When we go out on our date, I'll let you understand them one by one."
