Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

Fu Siya chose a bright pink color and applied a light layer of pink glaze to her little cup;

Ma Yun chose dark blue, painted it on the small bowl, and clumsily drew a simple sun pattern;

Jiang Xunye chose an elegant bluish-white color, which, combined with the shape of the teacup, made it look exceptionally refined;

Jiang Wenxi chose a light blue color and carefully applied it along the veins of the magnolia flower to make the petals more layered.

After the coloring was completed, the boss came over and told them that the artwork needed to be fired to become a finished product, and they could pick it up the next day.

Fu Siya carefully labeled her work and excitedly said, "I'll pick up the finished product tomorrow; it'll be a perfect souvenir from this jade fair!"

Jiang Wenxi looked at her magnolia-shaped cup blank, a faint smile flashing across her eyes.

After saying goodbye to the owner and master craftsman of the ceramics workshop, the four continued to stroll around the ancient town.

By this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and all the red lanterns in the ancient town were lit up. A warm yellow halo enveloped the bluestone road, and the aroma of food stalls wafted from the street, making the atmosphere of bustling activity even more intense.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the hotel's breakfast buffet area was already bustling with activity.

As soon as Jiang Wenxi entered the restaurant, she saw Fu Siya, Ma Yun, and Jiang Xunye already sitting by the window waiting for her, with breakfast prepared for her on the table.

"Wenxi, over here!" Fu Siya waved, gesturing for her to come over. Jiang Wenxi walked over and sat down, and Jiang Yan, being very perceptive, brought her a cup of hot milk.

After taking only two bites of breakfast, Fu Siya leaned closer to Jiang Wenxi and said in a pleading tone:

"Wenxi, you'd better help me out at today's jade gambling event! My dad specifically assigned me the task of picking out a decent rough stone to take home."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yun put down her sandwich and couldn't help but complain, "Your task is relatively serious, but my dad's is even more outrageous! A few days ago, he accidentally made my mom angry, and he actually asked me to pick out some expensive jewelry or clothes at today's auction, saying it's to make up for it and cheer her up."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly, instantly understanding their intentions. A faint smile appeared on her lips: "No problem, I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Great! I knew you were the most reliable, Wenxi!" Fu Siya said happily.

Jiang Xunye also spoke up: "I came here today to see if there are any suitable raw stones to make a batch of high-precision sensor parts. If there is anything I don't understand, I may need to trouble Wenxi to give me some pointers."

"You're too kind," Jiang Wenxi replied with a smile.

"It's almost time, let's go. If we head to the jade gambling hall now, we can catch the opening ceremony." Ma Yun glanced at his watch, stood up, and said.

The four of them packed their things and headed together toward the jade gambling hall inside the hotel.

The moment Jiang Wenxi stepped into the jade gambling hall, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind:

[Host detected entering the core area of ​​the Jade Gathering. Exclusive hidden buff triggered. The highest level of privilege has been granted.]

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Wenxi suddenly remembered that when she last attended an auction, the system had given her a hidden buff, which meant that she would be provided with the highest level of privileges at all officially certified high-end auctions, collection exchange meetings, and other occasions.

She didn't pay much attention at the time, but she never expected it to be true.

Just then, a man in a sharp blue suit strode over, followed by three or five staff members in uniform, who were clearly the person in charge of the jade gambling hall.

With an extremely respectful smile, the man quickly walked up to Jiang Wenxi, bowed slightly, and greeted her, "Hello, are you Miss Jiang Wenxi?"

"Yes, that's me." Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly.

"Hello, Miss Jiang!" the man greeted her again, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful.

"I am Li Mingyuan, the on-site coordinator for this jade gambling event. Your exclusive seat has been arranged for you in advance. Please follow me."

As he spoke, Li Mingyuan turned to the side and gestured for the four to follow. The group followed him toward their seats inside the hall.

They bypassed the rows of ordinary seats, passed through the special VIP passage, and headed straight for the exclusive area at the very front of the hall with the best view—a space furnished with only two large sofa chairs, a tea table, and a rest area, a stark contrast to the crowded seating around them.

Fu Siya stared wide-eyed at the reserved seats before her, then whispered to Jiang Wenxi, "Wenxi, we...we actually got to sit here? These are the very front row, reserved seats, right? My dad told me that only extremely distinguished guests or top figures from the Jade Society get this treatment!"

Jiang Wenxi glanced at the seating arrangement indifferently, then turned to Li Mingyuan and said, "Thank you, Manager Li."

"Miss Jiang, you're too kind," Li Mingyuan said quickly, his tone slightly flattered.

"It is our honor to provide you with the best service. Please feel free to ask our staff for any assistance you may have."

After saying this, he exchanged a few more polite words before quietly retreating with the people behind him, without causing any disturbance.

Ma Yun walked over to the sofa and sat down, unable to help but exclaim, "Wenxi, you're getting such amazing treatment! I doubt many people at the entire jade gambling convention could enjoy this kind of treatment."

The fact that Jiang Wenxi received such high-level treatment speaks volumes about her status and influence.

Jiang Wenxi simply smiled faintly and remained silent. Ma Yun echoed, "Absolutely! This is an absolute showstopper!"

"Alright, let's go. Next, we'll go to the next hall to choose some stones," Jiang Wenxi said, standing up.

The four then followed the staff to the adjacent material selection hall. As soon as they entered, they felt a completely different atmosphere from the hall they had just entered—there were no orderly seats here, but instead, all kinds of stones were piled up everywhere, and the air was filled with a faint smell of stone chips and soil.

The entire material selection hall was divided into four areas: the first area was filled with oversized raw stones, each taller than a person and with a robust build;

The second area contains small, exquisite stones, the largest of which is no larger than the palm of your hand, densely piled on wooden frames;

The third area contains medium-sized stones, which are randomly piled on the anti-slip mats on the ground and arranged in several tiers.

The fourth area consisted entirely of semi-transparent materials, each with a small opening cut into it, some of which already revealed a translucent green interior, attracting many people to stop and observe.

The stones in the hall are diverse and come in various shapes: there are whole, uncut raw stones, as well as partially cut stones.

The essence of jade gambling lies in the word "gamble"—those partially cut stones that appear to have some green color may not necessarily be of high quality; and those seemingly ordinary stones may not necessarily contain waste material. It all depends on one's eyesight and luck.
