Actually, there was a lot of money in Gu Yuanyuan’s card.
Gu Enlong only had her as his precious daughter. Naturally, he was generous to her. Her pocket money was given in the tens of thousands of dollars.
She gnashed her teeth. Actually, she could afford to buy something that cost hundreds of thousands.
Thus, she couldn’t tolerate Gu Qiqi using money to crush her.
This time, she was definitely going to use her IQ to crush Gu Qiqi in front of everyone!
She wanted to let her know that country bumpkins would never be able to compare to her, this legitimate eldest daughter of the Imperial Capital!
Gu Yuanyuan made up her mind and knocked on the counter. “Boss, you’re too dishonest. Why didn’t you take out such a good thing earlier?!”
The owner smiled insincerely. “Miss Gu, actually, this pair of longevity peaches is a pair. Originally, a regular customer had booked it and it was also to celebrate his birthday. Later, his friend said that it wasn’t good to give a pair for his birthday, so he only bought one. Only then was the remaining one selected by this beauty.”
After a pause, he smiled and said, “After all, there’s a first come first serve basis for everything.”
Gu Yuanyuan curled her lips. “But everyone is very dissatisfied with your behavior. What good goods are you hiding in your warehouse? Hurry up and take them out! If you don’t have the goods, you can take out the uncut stones and take a gamble!”
Actually, the customers were just watching the fun. They felt that it was very interesting for the two young ladies to compete for the jades, so they weren’t unhappy.
However, once Gu Yuanyuan said she wanted to gamble with uncut stones, these customers’ eyes lit up.
Stone gambling was usually only played at jade auction houses.
There were many experts there and the stakes were high. Most people wouldn’t dare to play there.
At best, one would suffer a loss. At worst, one would go bankrupt!
If she could take a small gamble in this jewelry business now, it would be a rare opportunity.
After all, the customers here were all jade lovers and weren’t professional gamblers. At least, they wouldn’t be scammed to the point of losing everything.
Everyone was eager to try. “This is a good suggestion. Boss, if you have any untrimmed quarry stones, take them out! We’re already tired of looking at the finished jewelry on your counter!”
The so-called untrimmed quarry stones were the most primitive state before jade was processed.
They were also raw stones.
The gray and inconspicuous raw stones had to be refined by professional cutting machines that grind away the outer shell bit by bit. Like a bride lifting her veil, only then will its true appearance inside be revealed.
Just like how the bride might be a fairy or have freckles, the jade that was cut out from this raw material might be an expensive glass type from an old pit or it might be the most worthless dark-colored, opaque white and thunderstrike cracked jade.
That was why stone gambling was so exciting.
Only professional appraisers would be that awesome.
Gu Yuanyuan used to play in stone gambling with a group of rich and beautiful women from the upper-class circle. She knew a little about it, so she was confident and took the initiative to ask for stone gambling.
Seeing that everyone was so passionate, the boss couldn’t reject them for a while. For the sake of business, he could only agree.
After a while, more than ten pieces of untrimmed quarry stones of different sizes were transported out of the warehouse.
They were really new. They even had the smell of soil after being dug up.
Gu Qiqi had already put away the gray amber and longevity peach jade and was about to leave.
Gu Yuanyuan’s sharp and soft voice provoked her. “Hey, country bumpkin. Do you dare to gamble with us?”
Gu Qiqi wasn’t interested in such a rich game.
Using a considerable amount of money to gamble on an unknown luck. Of course, it would be good if a high-quality stone was opened, but there was a high probability that the stones that were opened would be cheap goods.
Her money was also hard-earned money, okay?
She wasn’t interested in playing with these people.
However…
Just as she was about to leave…
Gu Yuanyuan’s extremely hateful voice sounded again.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t participate in the stone gambling event. Her words became more and more vicious—
“Tsk, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. You’re as petty as that d*mned mother of yours. Back then, that d*mned mother of yours didn’t even dare to leave the house. How embarrassing! Also, that sickly brother of yours was locked in a nursing home his entire life. What kind of world can a blind person see? Heh heh, your entire family is like this. No wonder you don’t dare to gamble with us!”
