Chapter 348: Chapter 348: It’s Out, It Really Is Out!

Everyone was reacting this way simply because the four raw stones Zhu Fei had selected not only had a very unappealing appearance, with many irregular pits covering their surfaces, but were also not very large in volume.

The largest of the raw stones was estimated to be only about the size of a basketball.

Despite everyone knowing that when it came to gemstone betting, the presence of jade inside a raw stone could not be judged solely by its exterior,

sometimes people’s mindsets are just so, instinctively generating a desire to purchase things that look good and have an appealing appearance.

Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing, after their initial confusion and doubt, didn’t say much more.

But Ning Deguang, standing not too far away, was different; when he confirmed that Zhu Fei was indeed going to buy those four raw stones, the sneer on his face immediately turned into mockery.

"Heh, Mr. Shen, your brother’s taste is really ... unique. I’m getting more and more excited about your upcoming stone cutting. If ... "

"How my taste is is none of your business; even if we do end up cutting out some fine jade, it has nothing to do with you."

Before Ning Deguang could finish his sentence, Zhu Fei coldly cut him off, then turned his gaze back to the shop owner, saying,

"Boss, tally it up. How much for these four raw stones?"

Hearing Zhu Fei’s second inquiry, the shop owner didn’t hesitate this time and, after a rough estimate of the four raw stones, finally said,

"Young man, these four raw stones will cost a total of thirteen thousand and two hundred. I’ll just round down the two hundred for you; let’s make it an even thirteen thousand."

"Okay, that’s fine."

Zhu Fei nodded his head, not waiting for Shen Yuyan to take out her money, instead, he pulled a bank card out from his own person and handed it to the shop owner, saying,

"Boss, you can accept card payments here, right? If you can, I’d appreciate you helping me settle the bill."

As it happened, the bank card Zhu Fei was currently using had been given to him by Pan Tingting, which Tang Mengyun had handed over to him.

Zhu Fei had checked earlier, and the card had a total of one million on it.

He had never touched the money in that bank card before, and now that he had given his own card to Shen Yuyan, he no longer had any extra cash on him, therefore, he had to use Pan Tingting’s card.

Seeing Zhu Fei did not ask her for money but instead took out another bank card to pay, Shen Yuyan’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

However, she didn’t say much and just waited for the shop owner to finish settling the bill for the four raw stones before heading with Zhu Fei to the stone-cutting machine.

"Hmph! I really want to see what kind of stuff your selected four raw stones can produce."

Ning Deguang voiced another cold snort from the side.

His words had been abruptly interrupted by Zhu Fei just before, which had already made him quite uncomfortable.

Now, as he saw Zhu Fei and the others really going to cut the raw stones, his expression once again became filled with sneering.

"Boss, let’s start with this one; remember, just start cutting from this edge."

Zhu Fei ignored Ning Deguang’s provocation and instead turned his head, pointed at the first raw stone he had selected, and then gave his instruction.

Upon hearing this, the shop owner immediately nodded his head, muttered an agreement, and quickly started up the machine in his hands.

"Zhi Zhi ..."

The sound of the machine starting echoed.

Whether it was Shen Yuyan, Zhao Jing, Ning Deguang, or the rest of the onlookers around, seeing the owner actually start the machine, they all couldn’t help but widen their eyes, watching the raw stone on the platform.

They all wanted to know what kind of jade would emerge from the raw stone that Zhu Fei had so carefully selected.

Was Zhu Fei putting on airs, or did he really have the ability to judge the quality of the raw stone? The answer would soon be known.

Time slowly trickled by...

About a minute later, when the shop owner’s machine had cut through more than half of the jade stone’s rough, a trace of disappointment suddenly showed in people’s eyes.

Because up to this point, aside from stone scraps, there had been no sign of any jade in the raw stone on the platform.

Which meant this piece of raw stone had obviously been a losing gamble, and the kind with absolutely nothing in it.

"Haha! It seems your vision isn’t up to par, Zhu Fei. In this case, aren’t you going to disappoint your sister?" Ning Deguang’s voice, full of mockery, suddenly rang out towards Zhu Fei.

He looked at Zhu Fei and then glanced at Shen Yuyan, who was expressionless, involuntarily letting out a "Hey."

"Mr. Shen, you are the boss of a company, after all. Children don’t know any better and like to mess around, but how could you act the same as him? This really disappoints me." Ning Deguang shook his head and wagged his fingers with schadenfreude, eager for chaos—his disgusting sneer was simply nauseating.

"Ning Deguang, you...!" At this point, Zhao Jing could hardly bear to listen anymore. Just as she glared angrily at Ning Deguang, ready to refute his words, Zhu Fei smiled, pulled at her, and gently shook his head towards her.

"Zhu Fei, what is this...?"

"Heh, it’s nothing, Little Jing. Keep watching. I’ve always said I definitely won’t disappoint you or Sister Shen."

Zhu Fei didn’t directly answer Zhao Jing’s question but instead spoke to the shop owner, "Keep cutting, just as I instructed before."

"Alright!"

The shop owner had no objections to Zhu Fei’s request and, after responding, started his machine once more.

Half a minute, a minute...

A minute later, as the onlookers were becoming impatient and Ning Deguang’s lips curled into a scornful smile again, Zhao Jing, who was closely watching the platform, suddenly widened her eyes and, tugging at the arm of Shen Yuyan beside her, stuttered:

"Shen... Sister Shen, it’s there, it really appeared!"

"Little Jing, what are you talking about? What’s there?"

Shen Yuyan seemed to be pondering something and hadn’t been paying attention to the platform. Hearing Zhao Jing’s words, she subconsciously asked in response.

However, after asking, she also quickly realized, and her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but shift to the platform where the raw stone was being cut.

"Hiss—"

And just as Shen Yuyan’s beautiful eyes turned to the cutting platform, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath filled the air around.

Because they all saw that at the cut end of the raw stone, a magnificent transparent color had indeed burst forth!
