Chapter 790: 785 Jade Ghost Eye

And at this time, there were clearly many more things that required his attention.

There hadn’t been much to do in the past few days, but the day of the jewelry black market was fast approaching.

It was the day he had arranged with Old Yuan to visit the black market together.

Old Yuan used to be in the jewelry industry.

Today, Gu Chen was going with the genuine intention of broadening his horizons.

There might even be some special treasures to be found there.

After the agreed time arrived, Gu Chen went directly to Old Jin’s residence.

Arriving at Old Jin’s place, he discovered that Old Jin was accompanied by a friend.

"Let me introduce you to this gentleman, this is Director Gu I’ve told you about,"

Old Jin said cautiously to the young man acting as the middleman.

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately came over and with utmost respect, said to Gu Chen, "Director Gu, hello, your reputation precedes you, I have long heard of your name."

He said so at this moment.

His demeanor was extremely cautious.

As if he was afraid that any misspoken word might offend Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at the young man, not knowing what his occupation was.

"Hello, hello," Gu Chen greeted back out of courtesy.

Considering this person was brought by Old Yuan, he believed he must be someone useful.

"Gu Chen, let me also tell you about this person.

A couple of years ago, on this black market, he won a total of 3.9 million by gambling on stones.

Also, this man has a reputable name, known as Ghost Eye.

In the entire jewelry industry, he is very famous, and practically anyone in this field has heard of his exceedingly discerning eyes; any good piece can hardly escape his gaze."

At this moment, Old Yuan told Gu Chen about the young man’s occupation as well as his background.

After listening, Gu Chen finally understood what was going on.

What surprised him was that Old Yuan had such a diverse network.

However, given that he had earned more than three million in the stone-gambling market by himself, Gu Chen felt he must be quite capable.

Because once it got to this point, it was no longer a matter of luck.

It was all because they had such ability.

So at this moment, Gu Chen saw everything very clearly; he knew exactly what was going on here.

"Let him come with us today; with Ghost Eye along, we’re unlikely to encounter any mishaps,"

Old Yuan said to Gu Chen at this moment.

Gu Chen nodded. Of course, he had no objections; after all, having one more person meant extra security.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, just now I heard President Yuan say that you recently acquired a couple of trinkets, didn’t you?"

It was then that Ghost Eye suddenly asked this question.

To his surprise, Old Yuan had discussed this matter with him.

"It’s nothing extraordinary, just some casual playthings,"

Gu Chen said mysteriously, waving his hand.

He really couldn’t talk about those things.

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence, but rather he was very aware.

The items he possessed came from the system, and their quality was exceptionally high.

Ghost Eye, who stood before him, was clearly a man who had seen various walks of life.

If Gu Chen were to reveal these items, it could easily lead Ghost Eye to spot some incongruities.

For instance, that such items couldn’t possibly exist within the country.

Or perhaps jade like this has already become extinct.

In any case, there are far too many conjectures about these matters.

Therefore, at this time he must be exceedingly cautious, to avoid making such elementary mistakes as much as possible.

Don’t let him grow suspicious of oneself, because that would only bring trouble.

At that moment, I did not choose to take out my own items.

It was then that Old Yuan said to Gu Chen with a smile, "Director Gu, weren’t you quite confident when you were with me yesterday? Why not take it out? Let’s all have a look and enlighten ourselves."

It was at that moment that Old Yuan suddenly teased Gu Chen with a hint of malice.

For Old Yuan, it was entirely intentional to tease Gu Chen.

Now that Gu Chen suddenly refrained from taking his items out, it felt as if he had suddenly become timid.

That’s why Old Yuan said this to Gu Chen with a laugh.

And at that time, Gu Chen also laughed a bit.

"Mainly because there’s no necessity, no need to waste time on it," he said nonchalantly.

Gu Chen’s response was quite casual at that time.

As for Old Yuan’s teasing, he didn’t take it too much to heart.

After all, it was clear that Old Yuan was doing it on purpose, hoping to make him embarrass himself.

Ghost Eye, upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, just smiled. It felt as if he didn’t see through the embarrassment in Gu Chen’s heart at that very moment.

However, in reality, nobody truly believed that Gu Chen had anything substantial in his hands.

Everyone thought that from the beginning till now, Gu Chen had been merely talking nonsense.

Gu Chen did not try to argue in defense of his two pieces of jade.

They quickly made it to the business van outside.

Ghost Eye drove, while Old Yuan and Gu Chen sat in the back.

While sitting,

Old Yuan simply wouldn’t stop talking.

"That Gu Chen, I’ve recently heard some insider news. Seems like there’s a new major shareholder at the Maotai Liquor Company?"

At that moment, Old Yuan suddenly brought up this matter to Gu Chen.

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Chen with curiosity, as if he wanted to confirm it personally from Gu Chen’s mouth.

Gu Chen nodded in response as well.

However, from his attitude, Gu Chen felt that Old Yuan’s news was really slow.

It seemed to him that nearly everyone around him already knew, yet it was only now that Old Yuan had just found out.

In that regard, his response was quite sluggish.

When Old Yuan saw Gu Chen’s affirmative nod, he then realized that the rumors weren’t false.

Indeed, he had only received the news the night before.

Upon receiving the news, he was dumbfounded.

He had never imagined that Gu Chen could become a major shareholder of the Maotai Liquor Company.

The news seemed so surreal to him that he was somewhat incredulous.

Because he couldn’t understand how it had happened.

He didn’t remember Gu Chen ever having contact with the Maotai Company.

"Brother, you truly keep your cards close to your chest, giving me a huge surprise," Old Yuan said, with a bit of a laugh.

He genuinely didn’t expect Gu Chen to pull off such a major feat.

He had never heard anything about this from Gu Chen before.

"It’s not much, just some minor matters," Gu Chen replied, understating it.
