Chapter 205: Chapter 205: You Picked the Wrong Opponent!

After Wang Renze had finished cutting the gemstone, it was Xiao Zheng’s turn. Xiao Zheng’s stone weighed over thirty kilograms and wasn’t cheap, costing well over one hundred thousand yuan.

Holding the stone, he walked up to the stone-cutting master and asked for help cutting it. His expression, however, was quite calm, showing no sign of nervousness.

When the crowd saw this scene, they couldn’t help but laugh.

"Look, you might as well not cut it. With a stone like that, I doubt anything will come out of it."

"Hehehe, if you give up now, it’s not too late, otherwise, you’ll lose over one hundred thousand yuan, and there goes several years of your salary."

"This stone of yours isn’t even as good as those found on the ground. Just a waste of money."

The corners of their mouths bore a hint of mocking smiles, looking at Xiao Zheng as if he were a fool.

Mo Anna, feeling annoyed, was about to speak when Xiao Zheng glanced at them with a faint mocking look in his eyes and uttered a few words.

"A bunch of idiots!"

The crowd was initially startled, then they became angry, retorting, "Who are you calling an idiot?"

"A mere supervisor, a lowly person like you, dares to talk like that in front of me?"

"Hmph, Xiao Zheng, I’ll remember your name!"

This group consisted of wealthy young men and famous ladies whose status was quite high. Wherever they went, they were showered with flattering words, never having been insulted to their faces like this before.

Even Wang Renze’s face darkened as he said, "Brother Xiao Zheng, you’re being a bit too harsh!"

Xiao Zheng gave a cold smile and replied, "Who started being harsh first? All of you come from distinguished backgrounds, yet here you are, rudely mocking me, a nobody. I believe it’s not only harsh but also shows a lack of upbringing and manners! And you talk to me about being harsh?"

The crowd’s faces turned white.

They were at a loss for words.

They hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng’s words to be so sharp. Once he struck, they couldn’t defend themselves.

In that area of the raw materials, besides this group, there were also some big bosses and people of significant status. Hearing what Xiao Zheng had said, they nodded slightly.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Wang Renze and others’ faces grew even uglier.

"Humph, it’s just being articulate. We were being considerate because you’re Miss Mo’s friend, trying to give you friendly advice, but you reject it. Who can you blame?"

Someone, agitated with embarrassment, said, "Sometimes, it’s better not to suffer just for the sake of saving face."

Xiao Zheng glanced coldly at this person and said softly, "So you’re sure this stone won’t yield anything? What if it does?"

"Heh."

Hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, not only did this person sneer, but the others also started to mockingly laugh.

"If you can cut a fine jade out of it, no matter the value of the jade, whatever it is worth, I will pay you that amount! However, if nothing comes out, whatever the raw material costs, you will pay me that amount. Do you dare to gamble?"

This person sneered coldly.

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Zheng.

Would he dare take this bold gamble?

Mo Anna quickly tugged at Xiao Zheng’s sleeve and whispered, "Xiao Zheng, don’t be impulsive. Although the company can reimburse the cost of the raw stone, if you have to pay that person, it won’t be covered. It’s not a small amount of money."

"Hahaha, you’re not scared, are you? Hehe, where’s that arrogance from earlier?"

Seeing that Xiao Zheng remained silent, the man burst into laughter, and others also displayed disdainful smiles.

Mo Anna angrily said, "You people are too much! To gamble or not is completely voluntary. What do you mean by mocking us here? Are you trying to provoke us with reverse psychology? It’s disgusting!"

Upon seeing Mo Anna defend Xiao Zheng like this, Wang Renze’s face darkened.

His lips tightly pursed, and being thin-lipped, it inadvertently gave him a sinister appearance.

Xiao Zheng then looked at the man, a trace of a smile playing on his lips.

"Tell me, if I cut out jade from the stone, how much it’s worth, you will give me that amount of money?"

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s expression, Mo Anna inwardly panicked, hastily calling out, "Xiao Zheng!"

Xiao Zheng waved his hand, signaling Mo Anna not to worry, and then said to the man with a faint smile, "Since you’re so eager to gamble with me, I’ll accept your challenge."

Everyone who heard Xiao Zheng respond like this was taken aback, not expecting him to actually agree. They then burst into laughter, looking at Xiao Zheng with thinly veiled disdain.

A true man should be flexible, but facing a guaranteed loss and still stubbornly gambling to save face, in their eyes, was undoubtedly foolish.

"I really don’t understand how Mo Anna could fancy such an idiot," Wang Renze scoffed, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

The weaker the opponent, the easier to handle.

The likelihood of success was naturally greater.

"Ladies and gentlemen. This gamble on the stone is just a small entertainment. Since it’s all in good fun, the main point is merely victory and defeat. Although the money involved is trivial for us, we must still consider brother Xiao Zheng here."

At this moment, Wang Renze smiled lightly, his voice gentle, "If no jade is really cut, I will take care of brother Xiao Zheng’s money.

Since Miss Mo is my guest, then brother Xiao Zheng is also my friend. How could I let him be embarrassed?"

The man who gambled with Xiao Zheng, hearing this, gave a thumbs up. "Worthy of being Mr. Wang from Jiangcheng City, such magnanimity is beyond my own."

Others also chimed in with praise, "Even though Xiao Zheng brought this on himself, Mr. Wang is still willing to cover for him. That’s not easy, truly magnanimous!"

Several women looked at Wang Renze, their eyes brightening.

Hearing these various sounds of admiration around him, Wang Renze turned his head towards Xiao Zheng and smiled slightly, saying, "I wonder how brother Xiao Zheng feels about this?"

Xiao Zheng sneered inwardly.

How could he not see through such tactics? Wang Renze’s move was merely to show off his generosity to impress Mo Anna.

And for him, it was like thrusting a soft knife.

Because if he really didn’t cut anything valuable, he would still lose face!

And owe Wang Renze a favor.

In such a scenario, continuing to be with Mo Anna would have people drowning him in criticism for being ungrateful and assassinating his character with words!

"After all, not just any privileged young master, he’s quite capable. If it were anyone else, they’d just lose," Xiao Zheng looked at the stone he had chosen, his eyes shimmering with a purple-red glow.

"Too bad for you, your opponent is the Evil God."
