Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Trouble!_1

Bai Xiaosheng deliberately asked Sun Yiran a question.

"Ten times the market price, do you want this piece of jade?"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Sun Yiran’s face twitched, feeling as though all the gazes were scorching his cheeks!

The material worth nine hundred thousand, at ten times the market price, would be nine million! Even he was astounded by this price!

But most importantly, it wasn’t even about the money.

Indeed, the material was good, really good, but it was worth nine hundred thousand at most. To spend nine million on it would be the epitome of folly, sheer idiocy! Anyone with a normal brain wouldn’t make such a move!

However, just now, he had said he would buy it, at ten times the market price, no less!

Face, oh face! A person lives for face just as a tree lives for its bark!

To buy would be stupid, but to not buy would be to lose all face.

He, Sun Yiran, Sir Ran, if he went back on his word under everyone’s gaze, how would he ever mix in these circles again!

Watching Bai Xiaosheng, with a half-smile that seemed mocking, Sun Yiran felt his head throbbing with blood.

"I’ll take this piece of jade!" Sun Yiran glared ferociously at Bai Xiaosheng, nearly grinding his teeth as he spoke.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled.

"I won’t sell!"

So you think you are Sir Ran, making big claims about buying at ten times the market price, but you never asked if I was willing to sell. Now, I, am, not, willing!

Sun Yiran was stunned, feeling a mix of relief and a surge of anger overwhelming him!

This Bai Xiaosheng, not selling but asking, was clearly mocking him in public.

Sun Yiran’s eyes, bloodshot, watched as Bai Xiaosheng, holding onto the jade material, approached the dazed Han Shuying.

"I said I would gamble on a stone for you. Now, it’s yours," Bai Xiaosheng said, casually thrusting the ice-type Imperial Green jadeite, worth nine hundred thousand, into Han Shuying’s arms.

Han Shuying hugged it nervously, ignoring the dust and grime on it.

This was something worth nine hundred thousand. If she got distracted and it hit the ground, what would break was real silver and gold!

Han Shuying’s face was full of nervousness.

"You’re really giving this to me?"

She was somewhat incredulous; Bai Xiaosheng was giving away something so valuable too easily, wasn’t he?

The girls around who were watching the show were so envious that their eyes seemed to bore into the jade material, eyeing Han Shuying with envy, jealousy, and spite.

"When I say I’ll do something, I do it, especially not deceiving women. Also, it’s not a gift for nothing; when we get back, you have to return the two hundred thousand capital to me," Bai Xiaosheng said, emphasizing seriously, with a mercenary twinkle in his eye.

The surrounding crowd collectively rolled their eyes.

Is this guy insane, giving away a nine hundred thousand jadeite while fussing over his two hundred thousand in capital.

Han Shuying was dumbstruck and gave Bai Xiaosheng a deep glance, obediently stepping aside.

"Miss!" Suddenly, someone called out from the side.

Han Shuying looked over.

Xie Youxin, his eyes brimming with a smile and incessantly glancing at the piece of material, had positioned himself nearby at some point.

What a fine piece! Especially a whole one like this. If it were to be crafted by a skilled artisan or even a master, and then marketed properly... the price...

Xie Youxin felt his heart ablaze with eagerness.

"What do you want?" Han Shuying asked skeptically, looking at him.

"This piece of material, are you selling it?" Xie Youxin suppressed the agitation in his heart and raised a finger, "I am willing to pay one million!"

The recent bidding was nine hundred thousand, and Old Xie had added a hundred thousand. For a shrewd businessman like him, increasing the price was a rare occurrence.

It was all because the material was simply too good!

In fact, there was trickery involved in this jade betting.

The price quoted for jade that was uncovered "by convention" would only be lowballed, to facilitate buying at moments like this.

This material was unquestionably worth more than nine hundred thousand!

"Not selling!" Under Old Xie’s eager gaze, Han Shuying replied bluntly.

"I’ve added an extra hundred thousand, and you’re still not selling?" Xie Youxin found it unbelievable.

"For this stone, on top of Old Xie’s price, I’ll add another fifty thousand. Miss, will you sell it or not!" someone asked from the side.

Xie Youxin looked over and it was his "arch-enemy" Boss Zhou!

"Boss Zhou, but I was here first!" Xie Youxin said angrily.

"The lady hasn’t agreed to you, I’m not poaching a deal, this is fair competition!" Boss Zhou snorted coldly, with a smile on his face as he looked at Han Shuying, "What do you say, Miss?"

"I, I’ll add another twenty thousand!" Xie Youxin was getting desperate.

"I’ll add another ten thousand!"

"I’ll add yet another ten thousand."

In a moment’s time, the two of them were arguing so loudly that their faces turned red and their necks grew thick.

The price of the jade material shot up to one million two hundred thousand!

People around were dumbfounded.

"Miss, what do you think, just say something!" Xie Youxin was anxious.

"I still don’t want to sell," Han Shuying muttered, "Seeing how you’re acting, it seems like this stone isn’t bad. I want to have it made into a jade bracelet for my own use."

Have it made into a jade bracelet, for personal use?

Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou were stunned.

Luxury, such luxury!

"Make this whole piece of stone into a jade bracelet?" Xie Youxin’s face twisted, "Miss, if you want bracelets, pendants, I have them, and they’re of this quality too. I’ll sell them to you at cost! Please don’t ruin this entire piece of stone!"

"Yes, at worst we two families will share the cost for this stone. Whatever jewelry you want, we’ll give it to you at cost!" Boss Zhou also said with a trembling voice.

There are no mortal enemies in business; if the two families could cooperate to acquire it, Xie Youxin would agree!

Han Shuying was tempted and tugged at Bai Xiaosheng’s sleeve.

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head, listened to Han Shuying’s brief explanation of the situation, and waved his hand indifferently, "This is a gamble I took for you, but now it’s yours. Whatever you want to do with it from now on is up to you. I won’t interfere; you make your own decision, anything goes."

Eventually, Han Shuying agreed.

The two bosses were over the moon as they led her to the side to handle the paperwork.

Zhang Min and Sister Min stood by, their mouths agape in shock, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with strange eyes. That guy must have an incredible resolve to view money as mere dirt.

In the distance, Sun Tianli squinted his eyes, staring at Bai Xiaosheng.

Just now, was it a fluke, or did he really divine the stone!

Could a person just casually pick out an Ice-type Imperial Green?

If it was about the ability to divine stones, Sun Tianli didn’t believe it. He hadn’t possessed such a skill in decades!

Go test him!

From a distance, Sun Tianli gestured to Sun Yiran with his eyes.

Sun Yiran clenched his teeth and walked up to Bai Xiaosheng.

"Mr. Bai, I want to have another go with you! How about that?" Sun Yiran’s voice was somewhat hoarse, his eyes bloodshot as he glared intensely at Bai Xiaosheng, "This time, let’s see who picks out the jade stone with the highest unit price!"

"If you win, I, Sun Yiran, will no longer mix in this circle, and the jade stones I pick will also be yours. If you lose, the same applies! What do you say!"

Sun Yiran’s last words were almost a shout.

The whole place went silent.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment; this was no longer just jade gambling, it had escalated to a "fight for life".

Even Sun Tianli was startled, looking at his grandson with complex eyes.

Being defeated in public by a complete nobody, Yiran, with his pride deep in his bones, naturally couldn’t stand it.

Gamble!

Could the Sun Family’s genius really lose? Sun Tianli’s face darkened, looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng kept silent, giving Sun Yiran a cold glance.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he finally spoke, two words.

"No good!"
