This piece of emerald was extremely transparent. According to Ye Xuan's knowledge, it was very likely to be a glass that was rarer than ice.

Thus, although the price of this unremarkable stone was as high as two million, the jadeite contained inside was definitely much higher than the price of the stone.

This was a deal that would never lose money. Ye Xuan said confidently: "Waiter, pack this up for me."

When Ding Qiang, who was walking over, saw this, he could not help but sneer inside, and treated Ye Xuan as a fool who gave him money for free.

Who knew how many people had come to check this rock? There were many famous masters in the industry among them.

However, no matter who it was, no one bought it because this stone was simply too ordinary. There wasn't even a hint of green in it, so the bid of two million was no different from trying to attract attention.

The more Ye Xuan bought from this kind of stone, the more he would earn from it. As such, he was happy to see the result, and silently followed Ye Xuan as he watched him become a prodigal.

Seeing Ding Qiang's secretly delighted look, Ye Xuan suddenly said to him: "Ding Qiang, didn't you want to befriend me? Now that I bought so many ores here, why don't you give me a 20% discount? "

"This is impossible!" Ding Qiang immediately rejected it, "You bought at least thirty to forty million stones, if I give you a twenty percent discount, wouldn't you lose a few million?"

"Oh, then I won't buy that much. I haven't paid for it yet anyway." Ye Xuan smiled playfully.

Ding Qiang hesitated. If Ye Xuan suddenly refused to buy it, then this idiot did not have enough money.

After all, most of the stones that Ye Xuan bought were obviously not for sale.

However, when he thought about the 20% discount, he still felt pained. He thought for a while and said, "I can give you 60% off of this 2 million, but only this piece. What do you think?"

He was very sure that this two million stone piece definitely did not contain any jade, which was why he was willing to give Ye Xuan a twenty percent discount.

Although he would earn eight hundred thousand less with this kind of discount, it was still worth it when he thought about how Ye Xuan had lost out by several tens of millions.

"In that case, how about we make a bet?" Ye Xuan suddenly said with a smile.

"Bet?" Ding Qiang looked at Ye Xuan strangely, and thought of the bet between Ouyang Xun and him that he had yesterday, "Tell me first, how should I bet?"

Although he was the dignified Lu Corporation's manager and was not afraid of Ye Xuan playing any tricks, he would not easily agree to a wager to prevent himself from falling into Ye Xuan's pit. After all, what happened yesterday was way beyond his imagination.

"We'll bet this 2 million yuan stone on it. If it does, then I'll give you 10% off all the stones I bought today. If it doesn't, then I won't be taking the discount on this stone, what do you think?"

"This …" Ding Qiang hesitated for a while, then looked at the ore in front of him that no one was interested in for a long time, and immediately agreed, "Alright, then I'll bet with you!"

This ore was already a genuine piece of trash. If Ding Qiang agreed to it, there would be no need to pay that eight hundred thousand for it.

Zhang Min who was at the side looked at Ye Xuan with some anticipation. Could it be that he was really that confident that she could win the bet?

If he could really get a 20% discount on all of them, then that would be a huge profit.

"Alright, Mr. Ding is indeed straightforward. Let's cut off this rock and have a look." Ye Xuan clapped his hands and said.

When the surrounding people heard that God of Stones wanted to make a bet with someone else, they hurriedly surrounded Ye Xuan and the others, so much so that not even a drop of water could leak out.

When the Lithologist arrived, everyone cheered.

The process of opening the stone was extremely thrilling and dangerous. Even if one was observing from the side, their mood would also fluctuate according to the minute movements of the Lithologist.

There had even been news reports that someone had died of a heart attack while watching the unravelling of a stone.

"Hmph, this Sharpei, is it really because I don't have the slightest confidence that I can make a bet with you?" Looking at Ye Xuan's fervent expression, Ding Qiang could not help but sneer inwardly.

Ding Qiang had specially come to know of all the ores present that were worth more than a million. He was very clear about which ones had a high chance of obtaining jade and which ones did not.

As for this two million level stone, he already knew the inside story. All the experts determined that there was no jade in it, so they took it out to cheat the rookie.

After all, there were many rich people in this world who had no money to spend, and gamblers were especially anxious. They would blindly believe that they could give out top-grade jades out of the expensive stones.

From Ding Qiang's perspective, Ye Xuan was clearly such a person. It was too easy to get money, but also very lucky.

This time, he easily agreed to Ye Xuan's bet. Ding Qiang just wanted to see him suffer a terrible defeat to slightly alleviate the anger from his loss yesterday.

Ye Xuan looked to be completely innocent as he focused on watching Lithologist start to open the stone.

Because there was a very large piece of emerald inside and it was very likely to be made of glass, Ye Xuan did not want it to suffer even the slightest bit of damage.

Time seemed to have passed extremely slowly. Everyone held their breaths and stared straight at the ore in Lithologist's hands. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Only Ding Qiang stood there looking down on them, with his arms folded across his chest. Occasionally, he would steal a peek at Zhang Min.

"Look, it's giving out jade!"

Roughly five minutes later, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted. This voice was extremely sudden, to the point that Lithologist's body slightly trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the ore in his hand.

Lithologist looked carefully and muttered: "That's right, it really did give out jade."

A large part of the ore had already been ground away, and a dark green light could be seen emitting from it.

Instantly, the entire audience went into an uproar.

Seeing this scene, the originally calm Ding Qiang's expression changed greatly, as he could not believe his own eyes at all.

Damn, how could there be jade inside?

However, the moment the emerald green light appeared, it meant that he had already lost, because they were betting on whether there were any emeralds in there or not, not on the size of the emeralds.

At this moment, Ding Qiang's heart felt like it was being galloped by ten thousand mud horses, and his expression was extremely ugly.

This time, he was in deep trouble.

Not only was the jade piece opened by Ye Xuan, it would also give Ye Xuan a 20% discount on all the ores he bought.

Although his position in the Lu Corporation was at the manager level, he was actually just a dog raised by Lu Zi'ang. How could he bear such a loss?

If that violent Young Master Lu found out, he would personally kill him.

Thinking about it, Ding Qiang felt fear and hate in his heart, he felt that Ye Xuan had tricked him, that he had fallen into his trap.

Right now, Ding Qiang was already planning on how to kill Ye Xuan. He was only trying his best to stay on the surface to continue watching the millstones progress.

After another ten minutes, the result was as expected. This rock had a fist-sized piece of jade, transparent, green and flawless. It was a top-grade glass.

The surrounding onlookers looked at the beautiful shining emerald with eyes even larger than a bronze bell.

This was an incomparably rare type of glass. In such a large venue, not a single piece had appeared in the past two days. Today, they finally saw it.

"Ai, looks like I'm really old. I don't even know how to look at ores anymore." Amongst the crowd, the bespectacled old man sighed and walked away dejectedly.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were many witnesses, Ye Xuan asked: "Mr. Ding Qiang, can we fulfill our previous bet now?"

"Of course you can!" Ding Qiang said while gnashing his teeth.

Having lost more than ten million in one go, he still did not know how to make up for this hole.

He thought that he would only be able to apologize to Young Master Lu if he found someone to kill Ye Xuan and take back all the ores.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ding." Ye Xuan laughed satisfactorily, and then, he was about to leave with Zhang Min.

Ding Qiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, he suddenly called out to Ye Xuan: "Wait, Mr Ye, your Stone Gambling Inherent Skill is so powerful, I believe our Young Master Lu would be interested to invite you to be the chief appraiser with an annual salary of 5 million, do you have any interest in it?"

After thinking about it, Ding Qiang decided to invite the king to see him. If he was tempted by the high salary and went to see Lu Zi'ang, he would definitely die a miserable death.

"Haha …" Ye Xuan turned around and chuckled, wasn't this Ding Qiang's words too fake? He had already sent someone to kill him previously, and now that he wanted to recruit him, he obviously had ill intentions.

After exchanging glances with Zhang Min, Ye Xuan gave her a gaze that reassured her, and then slowly said: "What a pity, I'm already working at Zhang Min's Antique Shop, and my annual salary is also five million, so …"

Speaking till here, Ye Xuan did not immediately leave, but the meaning was already extremely obvious.

He did not expect that Zhang Min had already recruited Ye Xuan, and even offered him a salary comparable to the Lu Group.

This made him suspect that the two of them might have had an affair.

Zhang Min was a woman that Ding Qiang was determined to obtain, yet Ye Xuan had beaten him to it and even let him poke a hole through her wound, so he wished that she could kill Ye Xuan on the spot.

He had even personally done this before, but after feeling a burst of anger in his heart, Ding Qiang slowly recovered his calm because in his eyes, Ye Xuan was already dead.

"5 million is only my personal tentative price. If Young Master Lu knows about Mr Ye's Stone Gambling Skill, he would probably be able to offer an even higher salary. Mr Ye, don't you think about it? Ding Qiang endured his killing intent and continued to advise.

"Sorry, I'm not interested at all."

Ye Xuan was too lazy to talk with Ding Qiang anymore. With the 20% discount, he would continue crazily purchasing ores.

Under Ding Qiang's ugly expression, who looked like he had just eaten shit, Ye Xuan and Zhang Min spent close to a hundred million Stone Stones before they stopped.

Seeing this action, everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a method of buying ores. They didn't even get a professional to examine them before buying almost a hundred of them. It was like buying vegetables in a market, not taking money at all.

Ding Qiang, who was at the side, was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, if not for the fact that he had seen a big scene before, he would probably faint right now.

According to the bet made by the two before, he would lose around twenty million raw stones. With such a huge sum of money, if Lu Zi'ang knew that he hadn't blocked this hole, he would definitely cut Ding Qiang into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
