"Why is there still so much left?" Chen Fan was also a little surprised.
He felt he had been extravagant enough, but he hadn't expected to have only spent ten billion yuan in such a long time.
Hearing Chen Fan's question, Zhou Huiren's mouth twitched violently.
It was fortunate that it wasn't his own money, and fortunately, the boss had instructed him to make Rui Xiang Jewelry suffer huge losses. Otherwise, he would have probably coughed up blood from anger on the spot!
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment: "Such a large piece of raw jadeite will definitely attract many buyers. Ten billion it is then. Once the money is spent, the task will be completed."
The people following Chen Fan, their faces already numb, once again showed expressions of shock.
Although this piece of raw jadeite was huge, they all knew that large stones, unless they had openings, were rarely bid on. The price was high, and they were prone to variations. Unless there were openings in several places revealing top-grade jadeite, few would dare to gamble so heavily. Once cut and found to be worthless, it would be a huge loss.
Zhou Huiren forced himself to remain calm, swallowed, and wrote down the final bid price on his notebook.
"Mr. Zhou, are we really going to spend ten billion on this stone?! You, quickly persuade Mr. Chen!" Zhao Zhihong finally came to his senses and said to Zhou Huiren with a look of astonishment.
Zhou Huiren glared at Zhao Zhihong: "Shut up. When has it ever been your place to interrupt Mr. Chen's affairs?"
Chen Fan glanced at Zhou Huiren playfully, smiled calmly, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, I've chosen the raw jadeite, and I've spent twenty billion. Can I leave now?"
Zhou Huiren smiled and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen can leave anytime if you have matters to attend to."
His mission was also completed, and his position was thus secured.
Chen Fan was about to leave when he suddenly stopped: "My commission from the gamble this morning hasn't been credited yet. Mr. Zhou, there won't be any issues with this money, right?"
Zhou Huiren replied with a smile: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I will have the company transfer your 150 million commission to your account now."
With that, Zhou Huiren took out his phone and called the company's finance department.
About ten minutes later, Chen Fan received a deposit notification on his phone.
"Thank you. We'll meet again." Looking at the balance displayed on his phone, Chen Fan's lips curved into a slight arc. He turned and left the event hall with Qin Shuran.
Qin Shuran's face was full of worry, and she couldn't help but ask Chen Fan, "Can the raw jadeite you chose just now break even?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "I don't know. I just bid randomly."
"What?! You, you bid randomly!" Qin Shuran exclaimed, covering her delicate lips with her hand, her face full of disbelief.
This was raw jadeite worth twenty billion yuan. If it all turned out to be worthless, then this debt would definitely be attributed to Chen Fan.
Sensing Qin Shuran's worry, Chen Fan smiled faintly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have a plan. They want to trick me, but they need to have the ability to do so."
As they spoke, their figures entered the parking lot of the jadeite market.
Long Yinglan's driver was still waiting for them in the car.
However, at this moment, several figures were also preparing to leave the parking lot.
A middle-aged man glanced towards Chen Fan, but then froze on the spot, pointing at Chen Fan and Qin Shuran with a shocked expression.
The elder leading them didn't notice the middle-aged man's reaction and continued speaking, "You all, you need to act the part later and create a sense of desperation. Set the price at three million. As soon as someone bids higher than three million, you all immediately shut up, appearing regretful, to give those bosses the feeling that they've made a profit."
"And the Rolexes on your wrists, let them be seen intentionally or unintentionally, understand?!"
"Yes!" Several men nodded quickly.
One man couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, isn't three million a bit high? Will those bosses fall for it?"
The elder said with a playful smile, "Do you know what place this is?"
The man replied, "The jadeite market."
The elder asked again, "Do you know what day it is today?"
The men shook their heads.
"Today is the South China Province Jade Gambling Convention. Everyone here is a renowned jeweler from South China Province. These people have money. Today, we're going to make a fortune here!" the elder explained excitedly.
Just then, the elder noticed the middle-aged man beside him lost in thought and asked with displeasure, "What are you looking at?! Did you understand what I just said?!"
The middle-aged man finally came to his senses, his face still filled with shock.
"What's wrong?!" the elder asked coldly.
The middle-aged man pointed in a direction, "Uncle Li, I, I saw those two people."
"Which two people?" the elder frowned slightly.
"It's that kid who scammed us out of five hundred thousand, and there's a beautiful woman with him. She's very elegant, she should be the woman you mentioned." the middle-aged man quickly explained.
"What?! Where is that kid?" the elder's eyes widened in anger.
The middle-aged man quickly pointed in a direction.
And this elder was none other than Li Changming, the old man from the construction site who sold fake antiques.
He was a veteran in the trade of selling fake antiques, but he had been defeated by a young man last time. This felt like a great humiliation to Li Changming, and he had been harboring resentment ever since, vowing to find that kid Chen Fan, not only to get his five hundred thousand back but also to teach Chen Fan a lesson.
Just then, a BMW car drove past them.
Li Changming could see the young man and woman in the back seat through the car window.
When he clearly saw the faces of these two figures, the anger on Li Changming's face intensified, causing his chest to heave violently.
"It's them, it's really them!"
"Chase them!" Li Changming shouted, pointing at the BMW.
Several men were stunned and quickly asked Li Changming, "Uncle Li, aren't we supposed to be selling antiques and making money today?"
Li Changming glared at the men, "Make money my ass! How dare they scam me! Today, I'll make that kid pay the price."
With that, Li Changming got into the car.
The middle-aged man and the others quickly got into the car and drove after the BMW.
With seven of them in one car, they believed they could handle one kid.
At this moment, in Chen Fan's BMW, Long Yinglan's driver glanced at the rearview mirror. After turning two corners, he frowned slightly and said to Chen Fan in the back seat, "Mr. Chen, there's a car following us."
Chen Fan turned and looked at the blue commercial van behind them.
When he saw who was sitting in the car, a playful expression appeared on Chen Fan's face. He instructed the driver, "Take us directly to the Fashion Trend Bar."
