Chapter 70 - The Older the Wiser
Chapter 70: The Older the Wiser
At this thought, Shen Dongyang was confident. He took out two checks from his pocket. One was his and the other was given by Jiang Zhong, “Alright, I have 600,000 here. I’ll bet with you. But you can’t take 600,000. You have to take out two million. Didn’t you say you wanted to bet all your wealth? My entire wealth is 600,000 and yours is two million. Don’t go back on your word.”
It had to be said that Shen Dongyang was really too greedy. However, Gu Qingchen did not care at all because she thought she would win for sure.
Although many people around felt that Shen Dongyang was quite shameless, they also wanted to see the result of the competition. Therefore, they did not say anything and waited to watch the competition.
“Okay, then I won’t make things difficult for you. In addition, if you lose, kowtow to me and call me grandpa.” Gu Qingchen spoke very magnanimously. She did not care Shen Dongyang was mad at her at all.
Gu Qingchen had already touched all the raw stones in this shop. She naturally knew which raw stones felt better.
!!Shen Dongyang rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight a tough battle. The two followers behind him held the tools needed to identify the raw stone and followed behind Shen Dongyang. They provided whatever Shen Dongyang needed.
They did this because they wanted to get some reward from Shen Dongyang after he won the bet and got the two million dollars.
Compared to Shen Dongyang’s side, Gu Qingchen was much shabbier. She was alone and did not have any tools in her hands. She just walked around and looked at the raw stones. She did not seem like a person who knew how to pick a good raw stone.
Seeing Gu Qingchen’s appearance, Shen Dongyang was even more confident. He even felt that he did not need to put in much effort to pick a piece of raw stone with good quality to win against Gu Qingchen.
Even though that was what Shen Dongyang thought in his heart, he still had to try his best to pick out the best one. This selection took more than two hours.
“Have you done yet? If not, I’ll go to another shop to pick out the raw stone first.”
Gu Qingchen picked out three more raw stones from this shop. These three raw stones were slightly more expensive than the one from the previous shop and cost her 100,000 dollars.
It could be said that they were very generous.
However, Gu Qingchen liked these three raw stones very much. When she touched them, they had a wonderful feeling of being as warm as water.
Shen Dongyang was still holding a special flashlight and shining it on the raw stone. Then, he heard Gu Qingchen urging him.
“Have you picked out the raw stone?”
Shen Dongyang seemed to be a little surprised. He did not expect Gu Qingchen to pick her raw stone so quickly. This was simply a child’s play. How could she pick out the raw stone so quickly?
Moreover, she had bet all of her money. Who would not choose carefully in such a situation? She had never seen someone like Gu Qingchen before.
Was she too confident, or was she just an idiot who let others rip her off?
Gu Qingchen pointed at the three raw stones that she had picked out and said lightly, “It’s just picking a raw stone. If you continue to pick like this, the shop will close soon. If you haven’t picked a good one, I can wait for you to pick one slowly. I still need to buy other raw stones. I don’t have time to play with you here.”
Tsk, tsk, she did not put Shen Dongyang in her eyes at all.
Shen Dongyang took a look at the raw stones that Gu Qingchen picked and frowned slightly. “We agreed to pick a raw stone and compete with the value of the jade in the raw stone. However, you pick three. You can’t change the rules just like that.”
Gu Qingchen smiled casually and said nonchalantly, “I’ll pick one of these three raw stones to compete with you. Hehe, you’re thinking too much. Do you really think that everyone is as shameless as you?”
Gu Qingchen mocked Shen Dongyang. She was obviously mocking Shen Dongyang for wanting to use 600,000 dollars to win 2,000,000 dollars. Gu Qingchen bet with more money. Even if she chose three raw stones to compete with him, it would not be too much.
However, Gu Qingchen liked to torture people bit by bit. The feeling of cutting the meat with a blunt knife was the most enjoyable.
Shen Dongyang’s thoughts were exposed in front of others. He looked embarrassed and said, “I haven’t found mine yet. Just you wait.”
Even though he was ridiculed, Shen Dongyang did not lose his rationality and chose a random one to compete with Gu Qingchen.
In this competition, he had bet all of his money. He could not make a single mistake.
Gu Qingchen did not rush Shen Dongyang. Since Shen Dongyang was still going to pick, she naturally could not wait for him here.
Hence, Gu Qingchen went to the next shop first. Gu Qingchen picked all the raw stones that she liked and bought them all.
After a dozen shops, Gu Qingchen bought about 30 raw stones. She must have spent more than a million dollars.
Gu Qingchen felt that it was about time for her to go back. However, Shen Dongyang was still choosing raw stone. Gu Qingchen was speechless.
“Mr. Shen, how much longer are you going to spend? I’ve already bought more than 30 raw stones, but you haven’t even bought one. I really doubt that you know how to buy raw stones.”
It was a time-consuming and laborious task to pick out raw a good stone, so most of the people who had been watching the show had not left yet.
They thought that Gu Qingchen must have taken the opportunity to slip away since she had not returned for such a long time. They did not expect that not only did she return, but she also even said such a shocking thing.
What the heck?
She had already bought more than 30 raw stones in such a short period of time?
Many people began to shake their heads, secretly lamenting that this girl was really too ridiculous. If she were their child, she would definitely be punished.
This time, Shen Dongyang’s expression did not change. He was even a little excited because he had found a good raw stone. This raw stone definitely had jade in it, and the quality should be pretty good.
He did not believe that the raw stone that Gu Qingchen randomly picked out would be better than the raw stone that he had chosen.
Shen Dongyang thought that the two million dollars check was waving at him. He was about to become a millionaire. He was excited when he thought about it.
“I’ve chosen it. This one!”
Shen Dongyang pointed at the raw stone that he had just looked at with certainty. His eyes were firm, his expression was unruly, and he was full of confidence.
Gu Qingchen took a look at the raw stone that Shen Dongyang had chosen. Her expression did not change. She had an impression of that raw stone.
That raw stone was not bad. There would definitely be jade in it. It was a good piece of jade, but it was far inferior to hers.
“Alright, since you’re done, we can begin.”
“Wait.” Shen Dongyang suddenly said, “You have three raw stones. Which one do you want to use for the competition?”
Gu Qingchen smiled. “Whatever. Any one will do.”
Shen Dongyang rolled his eyes and a calculating light flashed across his eyes. He had a plan in his mind.
Hehe… in that case, he would like to show Gu Qingchen that the older the wiser!
