He felt that this Xiao Yun was his lucky star. He had cut one of the three small stones he had picked earlier and still had two left, so he casually handed them over to Xiao Yun and Chen Hailing.
Xiao Yun took them without politeness and said, "So stingy, only giving sister such a small piece of stone. Why don't you cut off a piece from the one you have?"
"What are you thinking? I have a use for this one. That one is enough for you to eat for a while," Guo Xuyang said, pointing at the stone in Xiao Yun's hand.
"Is there anything in it?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Just cut it and see for yourself," Guo Xuyang rolled his eyes impatiently.
Women are truly troublesome, always wanting more. He shouldn't have given it to her.
Chen Hailing politely refused, saying she didn't want to accept a reward without merit.
Xiao Yun, however, snatched it up, saying, "If it's given to you, you should take it. Besides, you helped him earn over two million more just now, why refuse?"
With that, she pulled Chen Hailing to cut the stone.
The surrounding people were already shocked. How much good luck would one need to encounter such a massive stroke of fortune?
A scream from Xiao Yun came from the room. She had struck it rich.
A piece of red jade, the size of a child's palm, was taken out by Xiao Yun. The color was quite pure, like the morning glow.
Wu Youzhi saw it and squeezed over, wanting to take it into his hands, but Xiao Yun refused, saying it was a gift from Guo Xuyang, a memento.
At this time, Chen Hailing also came out. Her face was flushed, unable to contain her excitement. She tightly held an egg-sized multicolored jade in her hand, with red, green, yellow, blue, and purple colors intermingling, shimmering brilliantly, like a kaleidoscope.
This move made the boss want to cry but had no tears. Billions in wealth were about to fall into someone else's hands, causing him immense heartache.
Many people in the store went mad, frantically grabbing stones as if they were free. They cleared out the small stones on several shelves. The outcome was predictable: except for a few who made a little money, most lost out.
While everyone was scrambling, the three of them walked out of the raw jade specialty store and headed towards the hotel they had booked.
Seeing the three of them leave, Wu Youzhi quickly followed. Although he didn't know Guo Xuyang, through this interaction, he knew that if he could attach himself to Guo Xuyang, his future business would be incredibly profitable.
It had to be said that businessmen have sharp eyes.
"Sister, wait for me," Wu Youzhi shouted. He ran up to them, panting heavily. "Mr. Guo, it's best to find a bank to deposit that piece of jade you're holding. If it's seen by someone with ill intentions, it could cause trouble."
Indeed, in this day and age, people's hearts are not as pure, and it's normal for greed to arise upon seeing wealth. Carrying it around so ostentatiously on the street was indeed too conspicuous.
"Mr. Guo, I'll go get the car. Let's deposit this piece of jade first," Chen Hailing said to Guo Xuyang, feeling that what Wu Youzhi said was very correct.
"Then I'll trouble you." Guo Xuyang felt that carrying it like this was indeed not elegant and too flashy.
After Chen Hailing went to get the car, Wu Youzhi volunteered, saying he knew a bank with a special counter for storing such jade and wanted to go along.
Having someone to guide them would be even better, so they went to Lanhai Commercial Bank under Wu Youzhi's lead. Wu Youzhi rushed around, helping to complete the deposit procedures and handing the key to Guo Xuyang.
Under the guidance of the staff, Guo Xuyang went to deposit the approximately twenty-jin piece of jade.
"Mr. Guo, knowing you is fate. I'll treat you today, and we won't go home until we're drunk," Wu Youzhi said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wu. I'm not feeling well today and really cannot drink," Guo Xuyang said, pointing to his capped head.
"Then we'll contact you another day. Mr. Guo, if you have any more good jade, please contact me. I'll give you the best price," Wu Youzhi said.
"Alright, goodbye." Guo Xuyang shook hands with Wu Youzhi and said.
After Wu Youzhi left, Xiao Yun said, "That fat guy really thinks highly of you."
"I was just guessing."
"If your guesses are that accurate, how are the rest of us supposed to live? Little brother, I don't want to sell houses anymore. Why don't you support me?" Xiao Yun joked.
"Sure, my money is enough for you to eat for a while. Why don't we not go back?"
"Oh, you're serious? Have you had your eye on me for a long time?" Xiao Yun's face flushed slightly.
Anyone would be happy to hear that someone had a crush on them, at least it meant they still had some charm.
As the two were bickering, Chen Hailing stopped the car. "We're here. You guys go in first, I'll park the car."
The two got out and waited at the lobby entrance. Just then, several hoodlum-looking people arrived and stood in front of Guo Xuyang.
"You're the guy who just got rich? You're pretty cool, buddy," one of the hoodlums said, approaching Guo Xuyang. "My buddies and I are a bit short on cash right now, lend us some to spend."
He hadn't expected to be targeted so quickly.
"What? Are you robbing me? This is a lawful society now. I advise you to behave yourself. Be careful not to end up in jail," Guo Xuyang said coldly, looking at the hoodlum in front of him.
"Who saw us robbing? Huh. This is hilarious. I came to talk nicely to you, and you're threatening me. Looks like if I don't show you a little real power, you won't know that Yama has three eyes." Saying that, he raised his fist to strike Guo Xuyang.
"Wait. Have you been feeling drowsy lately? And unable to wake up fully every day?"
What was this tempo? Just as they were about to fight, he asked if the man was drowsy? What did drowsiness have to do with wanting money? The hoodlums were confused by Guo Xuyang's words.
However, what he said was quite accurate. He hadn't been sleeping well lately, perhaps due to playing cards. Today, he had just woken up when he heard someone had found a sky-high priced stone in the raw jade specialty store, so he rushed over to get a piece of the action.
"What's it to you whether I'm drowsy or not? Hurry up, I'm waiting to go play cards," Ma Wu said.
"If you don't want to die, hurry to the hospital. If you get checked in time, you might be able to save your life. If you delay any longer, you might have to report to King Yama."
"Are you cursing me?"
"If you don't believe me, touch your right elbow. Is it hurting?"
Ma Wu, half-believing, reached out and touched his right elbow. The moment he did, he let out a scream.
Pain, a piercing pain, almost took his life.
"What the hell is going on, tell me?"
"Watch your mouth. If you don't want to die, get checked at the hospital immediately. Heaven is watching. Doing too many bad things will bring retribution," Guo Xuyang said calmly, lecturing the hoodlum.
"Brother, what exactly is going on with me?" Ma Wu asked, putting aside his pride.
"Your complexion is ashen, you have a brain condition. Get checked and treated quickly, and there's still hope." That's what he said. In reality, he had just seen a not-so-small tumor in the hoodlum's brain, pressing on his nerves, and it was about to rupture.
"Brother, thank you, thank you," Ma Wu repeatedly expressed his gratitude and quickly called the other hoodlums and left.
