The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Hu Zhiwei quickly raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Okay, okay, don't give me that nonsense. Eight million."

"No way. My life depends on this piece of raw jade for the rest of my days. I still need to buy a house in Yuncheng, get married, and have children. You know, I'm just a security guard who recently lost his job."

Old Lu was completely confused, but he could tell that this kid had a grudge against Hu Zhiwei.

He couldn't help but have some doubts about the material.

"How about this, we'll open a window along this pine forest, and the price will be ten million, just like you said," Old Lu suggested.

"A piece with a window cut is essentially a semi-gamble on rough jade, and the price will increase by another five million."

Hu Zhiwei immediately became furious: "Why don't you just rob me?"

Gu Yuebai quickly shrank her neck, pretending to be very scared.

Old Lu said cautiously, "Ten million for a piece of jade is no small sum. To be on the safe side, we need to open a window. As for the price, old Hpakant jade with this appearance wouldn't sell for 100,000 per kilogram on the market. Just do as I said, open a window, sell it as a half-gamble piece, and the price will be ten million."

"Want some more?" Gu Yuebai asked timidly.

"That's the price!" Hu Zhiwei said without any room for negotiation.

Gu Yuebai thought about it for a moment before agreeing.

"I want to transfer the money immediately."

"Of course, you're worried I don't have money?" Hu Zhiwei pulled out a bank card and slammed it on the table.

"All right."

Gu Yuebai agreed, and Lao Lu took out the small grinding wheel he had brought and began to rub the stone at the top.

The grinding wheel whirred, and Hu Zhiwei was also very anxious.

Old Lu's heart was pounding.

Gu Yuebai knew very well that there was no problem with the outer edge of the rough stone, three centimeters inward. As long as it wasn't cut open, no problem could be seen.

Fifteen minutes later, a circular window about two centimeters in size was cut into the rough stone.

High-quality, colorless jadeite comes into view.

Even Lao Lu's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Hu Zhiwei was overjoyed.

"Old Hu, can I invest five million in this rough jade stone?"

"No way. Lao Lu, this is what I agreed on. I can handle this myself."

These two idiots are arguing, and Gu Yuebai has no intention of continuing to waste time with them.

"Mr. Hu, can I have the promised ten million now?"

"Okay. I'll transfer the money to you right away." Afraid that Lao Lu would interfere, Hu Zhiwei quickly asked for Gu Yuebai's bank card number and transferred the money immediately.

Gu Yuebai took out her receipt book, wrote a receipt, and had all three parties sign it.

Gu Yuebai deliberately made Lao Lu sign his name as well.

The payment notification indicates that he has received the money.

With the transaction completed, Gu Yuebai left Yunlu Mansion carrying the wooden box.

Hu Zhiwei was in a great mood. "Old Lu, let's go to your place and cut it open to take a look."

Seeing that Lao Lu remained silent, Hu Zhiwei knew that Lao Lu was feeling uneasy, so he quickly apologized, "Hey, we're brothers, don't mind it. I'll book the whole Bird of Paradise tonight."

The place for washing feet includes the third foot.

Old Lu finally relaxed his expression and managed a forced smile.

But he figured out Hu Zhiwei; this guy was the kind of person who would never suffer a loss and would always try to take advantage of anything.

This kind of person is good enough to be a drinking buddy.

Hu Zhiwei called the property security guards to help load the raw materials onto the car.

The two of them immediately drove to the street known for its gambling stones, to the old road's storefront, Qishizhai.

After getting off the truck, Lao Lu examined the woolen fabric for a while, and his friends also came over to see what was going on.

Hu Zhiwei lay down on the raw material, studying how to cut it.

Old Lu thought for a moment and said, "This rough stone is so big. Judging from the window, there's probably a lot of jade inside. It's not advisable to use a large knife. I think we should make a vertical cut to the side first and see?"

Hu Zhiwei, with his mediocre skills, could only blindly obey Lao Lu's orders.

"Old Lu, you take care of this. You're better at this than I am."

"Hmm." Old Lu didn't refuse and began to secure the rough stone and cut it.

The material was very thick, a full 30 centimeters. It took the stone cutting machine half an hour to cut a slice that was only 1 centimeter long.

However, the moment the slice was removed, revealing the cut surface, Lao Lu froze instantly.

The structure of the entire piece of raw material was clearly visible to everyone.

"Oh dear, there's only a little bit of green on the surface, the inside is full of dog poop."

"This piece of raw jade looks so good on the surface, but it's full of dog poop inside."

"One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich. One cut even leaves you in rags. This is no joke."

Hu Zhiwei's heart sank to rock bottom.

He never expected that the jade inside this ten million yuan rough stone would only have a thin layer on the surface.

The jadeite extracted from this piece of material is probably only worth a few hundred thousand yuan.

"Damn it. Gu Yuebai lied to me!"

Old Lu shook his head. "I made a mistake myself, so I can't blame anyone else. It's the industry rule, and the risk is my own. It's not like this is fake material."

Hu Zhiwei collapsed to the ground, speechless.

…………

Gu Yuebai was overjoyed after receiving the money.

He immediately took a car back to Ruian.

His father's debts could be paid off. His mother's medical expenses could be covered, and he became a wealthy man overnight, a multi-millionaire.

Not only that, he also got his revenge.

Hu Zhiwei has suffered a huge loss this time.

He already knew about the internal changes of that jadeite; the jadeite was rapidly changing, and high-quality jadeite could no longer be produced from it.

He could actually give the materials to Guo Xiaochang, an ungrateful person.

However, that wouldn't maximize the benefits of this material.

He could only maximize the profit from this rough stone by making Hu Zhiwei bleed.

After resolving her debt problem, Gu Yuebai felt much lighter, both physically and mentally.

He still took the long-distance bus back to Ruian, then took a taxi to the county hospital to visit his mother.

At the door of the ward, he saw a nurse standing by his mother's bedside, feeding her bite by bite.

Although he couldn't see the nurse's face and didn't know what she looked like, he could feel her thoughtfulness and kindness.

In this materialistic society, it's extremely rare to find someone willing to disregard their own interests and serve tea and water to a patient.

This girl's heart is a million times more beautiful than Li Siyi's.

He had brought some food with him, but it looks like he won't need it.

Gu Yuebai knocked on the door and then entered the ward.

"Mom, I'm home."

"Yuebai, you're back? So soon." Shen Ling was still worried about Guo Xiaochang's debt of over 300,000 yuan, fearing that she wouldn't be able to repay it.

With the nurse present, Shen Ling couldn't very well ask about it right away.

She pointed to the nurse beside her and introduced her, "Yuebai, this is Lin Yue'e, a nurse at the hospital. She's a very kind girl; she's the one who takes care of everything for my mother, big or small, at the hospital."

"Thank you so much." Gu Yuebai walked in and finally saw Lin Yue'e's face clearly.

She has a delicate, pretty face; she's not outstanding, but she's really beautiful.

Her petite and delicate figure is also very enviable.

For some reason, her eyes were very red and swollen, and it looked like she had just been crying.
