Chapter 1354: Chapter 1355 Stone King
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Gambling on stones? I don’t play often, just tried it a few times, and I’ve never lost."
"Idiot!"
Flora covered her eyes. Saying things like that was worse than showing weakness—how arrogant could he be?
"Oh? Played a few times?"
Liu Dasuan was clearly intrigued.
"Oh, about a thousand times or so. Then I moved on to other things and stopped playing altogether!"
Xiao Chen replied.
Braggart!
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt Xiao Chen was bragging.
A thousand games without losing even once? That’s pure nonsense.
If you’re going to lie, at least think it through first.
Chang Ziru couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore. What an idiot—didn’t even understand the concept of being trap-killed and stepped right into the pit himself.
Even Liu Dasuan furrowed his brows.
This young man really didn’t know his limits. Bragging in front of him? And he’d originally thought of making friends, believing they were peers, only to find him utterly foolish.
Xiao Chen noticed Liu Dasuan’s expression but remained unfazed. He glanced at Han Fei’er and said, "Let’s leave it here for today. We’ll revisit this at tomorrow’s stone gambling convention!"
"That’s it?"
Han Fei’er was deeply disappointed. She had imagined Xiao Chen had some clever plan, but all he did was brag before leaving.
Still, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Flora, on the other hand, was furious.
She called Jiang Meng and told her everything that had happened, expecting her to be angry and disappointed.
After all, she hoped that Jiang Meng would leave Xiao Chen.
What she didn’t expect was Jiang Meng’s response: "You don’t understand my husband! Just attend the stone gambling convention tomorrow, and you’ll witness an extraordinary show."
Flora hung up the phone, convinced that Jiang Meng was completely brainwashed by Xiao Chen. How could she be so stupid?
"Young Master Chang seems to have a grudge against Mr. Xiao?"
Liu Dasuan glanced at Chang Ziru and said, "Anyone can see you’re deliberately embarrassing him, but I didn’t expect that fool to actually dare to brag."
"Ha-ha, Chief Liu, you’re quite sharp. Indeed, I have a grudge against him, but it also allowed you to see the true face of Qingyu Company, didn’t it?
Doing business with a bluffing company like that has no future."
At that, Chang Ziru laughed and said, "Chief Liu, please take a look at our company’s partnership proposal. The price we’re offering is already very competitive.
By the way, I’ll be attending tomorrow’s stone gambling convention as well, so we can chat further then. I need to go pick some raw stones now."
Back at the company, Shang Qingyu scolded Xiao Chen again for offending Liu Dasuan.
"Listen, Aunt, if I secure this deal, can you stop shouting at me like this?"
Xiao Chen rubbed his ears and said.
"You secure the deal? That’ll happen when the sun rises in the west!"
Shang Qingyu retorted irritably.
"What if?"
"Fine! If you manage it, I’ll never shout at you again. You can come to work whenever you like, keep your salary, and I’ll even double it."
Shang Qingyu declared.
"You said it yourself, okay."
Xiao Chen grinned.
The next day, at 10 a.m., the stone gambling convention officially began in an enormous venue packed with a throng of people.
Liu Dasuan, Chang Ziru, Xiao Chen, Flora, and even Jiang Meng all showed up to join the fun.
Liu Dasuan greeted Flora but didn’t even bother looking at Xiao Chen.
Because of yesterday’s antics, he was completely disappointed in the young man.
Chang Ziru specifically approached to sneer, "Didn’t expect you’d actually dare to show up—spouting nonsense like a con artist. If this hits the news, what do you think will happen to your Qingyu Company?
Probably even your wife’s Xinmeng Group will take a hit, wouldn’t it?"
"Idiot!"
Xiao Chen glanced at Chang Ziru and casually uttered the insult before sitting with Jiang Meng, Han Fei’er, and Flora.
Today’s stone gambling convention featured ten of the best raw materials up for public auction.
Among them was the highly anticipated Stone King.
No one knew if anyone would dare to purchase it this time.
The auction began, but Xiao Chen focused solely on flirting with Jiang Meng, completely ignoring the proceedings.
He wasn’t here to gamble on stones anyway—his goal was Qingyu Company’s business deal.
Of course, if today’s move succeeded, it wouldn’t just secure a partnership with Liu Dasuan; it would also elevate the reputations of both Qingyu Company and Xinmeng Group.
A win-win scenario.
During this time, Chang Ziru and Liu Dasuan managed to purchase two of the stones.
Soon, only the final one remained—the Stone King.
The host announced, "Since the Stone King’s previous price was too high, resulting in multiple failed auctions, we’ll now lower its starting price from one hundred million to ten million.
Anyone interested can begin bidding.
Make your offers!"
Ten million!
Liu Dasuan hesitated. At just ten million, perhaps buying it for fun wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Worst comes to worst, he could just put it on display without cracking it open.
No one could mock him for what might—or might not—be inside.
"Eleven million!"
Just as Liu Dasuan hesitated, someone had already made an offer.
One hundred million had no takers, but ten million was a tempting gamble for many.
Not just Liu Dasuan—lots of people had the same thought.
Quickly, bids for the Stone King rose to twenty million and continued climbing.
"Fifty million!"
At this moment, Chang Ziru smiled and declared, "I’m willing to purchase this Stone King as a gift for Chief Liu!"
He didn’t know much about stone gambling, but keeping the raw stone sealed would do the trick, wouldn’t it?
A fifty-million-yuan gift was nothing to sneeze at.
"Sixty million!"
A new voice sounded.
Both Chang Ziru and Liu Dasuan turned to look—but when they saw Xiao Chen, their brows furrowed.
Flora was practically losing her mind. "You spendthrift, you absolute spendthrift—fifty million! Even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t squander money like this!"
Xiao Chen completely ignored Flora and turned to Chang Ziru instead, saying, "Young Master Chang, not continuing? When gifting Chief Liu, you shouldn’t skimp!"
"Damn it—eighty million!"
Chang Ziru was provoked. He’d already said he’d give the gift, so backing down now would make him look bad to Liu Dasuan.
"One hundred million!"
Xiao Chen casually announced.
He smirked faintly as he glanced at Chang Ziru.
The surrounding crowd thought the two were insane.
Initially, the Stone King was auctioned at one hundred million with no takers, but now its value had skyrocketed back to one hundred million!
"Two hundred million!"
Chang Ziru gritted his teeth, giving it his all.
He refused to believe Xiao Chen would take it further.
"Three hundred million!"
Xiao Chen remained unperturbed and made his bid.
"Idiot, you’ve fallen for my game. I was just messing with you."
Chang Ziru burst into laughter.
"Oh, so your partnership sincerity with Chief Liu is worth less than three hundred million, huh."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"You! I didn’t mean that—Chief Liu, you understand, right?"
Chang Ziru hastily explained.
Liu Dasuan ignored him and turned to Xiao Chen, asking, "You dare bid so high—surely you’ve spotted the Stone King’s value?"
"Chief Liu, you truly are insightful."
Xiao Chen grinned. "I’m sure the Stone King will reveal something extraordinary. Haven’t I mentioned? I’ve *never* lost at stone gambling!"
