Power and wealth bring fragrance

Chu Xinrou's breathing became slightly rapid, her legs felt weak, and she couldn't help but lean against Wei Yuan.

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Chu Xinrou's flushed face, Wei Yuan thought she was not feeling well and asked her with concern.

Chu Xinrou shook her head, lowering her eyes to avoid letting Wei Yuan see the shyness in them.

Should she tell Wei Yuan that she was so excited that she got teary-eyed because Wei Yuan was so amazing that he cut out more than 20 million yuan worth of jade with one slice?

Seeing that Chu Xinrou denied it, Wei Yuan felt relieved and looked at Liu Gang and Wang Zhao.

According to the bet, he has now won, and it's Liu Gang's turn to pay out!

Before he could even speak, someone suddenly rushed out and enthusiastically grabbed Wei Yuan's hand.

The speed was so fast that Wei Yuan almost punched him away in a moment of panic!

The newcomer was a tall, stout man with a thick, pure gold chain around his neck and a bright green, icy jadeite pendant. He also wore several jadeite cabochons on his hands, practically screaming "I'm not short of money."

The fat man had no idea that he had just narrowly escaped death, and his face was full of enthusiastic smiles.

"Brother, I'm the owner of Rongsheng Jewelry City. I'm in dire need of this kind of high-end jadeite."

"I won't beat around the bush. How about you sell me this jade for twelve million?"

Upon hearing this, the noise in the room suddenly intensified several levels.

Twelve million!

Although someone just said that this piece of jade is worth at least tens of millions, that's just talk and doesn't really give you a strong sense of reality.

But now someone has made a real offer of 12 million, instantly turning the feeling that was just in their hearts into a shockwave that strongly shakes everyone's soul!

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red with jealousy, almost to the point of bleeding!

Countless gazes shot towards Wei Yuan like flying knives, wishing they could kill him and seize the priceless jade for themselves!

Besides jealousy, many people were also awakened by the fat man's words.

A stylish woman in a tight-fitting short skirt stepped forward, staring intently at Wei Yuan as he made his offer.

"I am the design director of Shengyuan Jewelry, and this jade is perfect for my annual haute couture jewelry set."

"I'll offer fifteen million!"

As she spoke, she gave the fat man a disdainful sidelong glance.

"Tasteless nouveau riche, if this jade were made into a complete high-end jewelry set, its value would more than double."

"Letting you use it to make ordinary bracelets and rings is an absolute waste!"

The fat man was so angry at this competitor who suddenly appeared out of nowhere that he jumped up and down, but before he could react, someone else stepped forward.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, holding a cane, gazed intently at the emerald green jade.

"I've been collecting jade all my life, and I've only ever seen such a perfect piece of jade with such pure color and clarity once."

"This is a treasure that could be passed down as a family heirloom! I'll offer sixteen million!"

After quoting the price, the old man smiled at the fat man.

"I apologize, young friend, I was simply too eager to try it out. Please don't take offense."

The fat man gritted his teeth and glared at the beautiful director and the old man, his nose almost crooked with anger.

"Fine, fine, so you're all aiming to beat me up, huh!"

"I'll offer seventeen million. Anyone have the guts to keep bidding!"

The fat man glared fiercely at the two men, trying to intimidate them with his imposing presence.

The beautiful director and the old man only frowned slightly, showing no signs of being frightened.

The beautiful director crossed her arms, exuding an imposing aura.

"Don't try to scare us. Do you really think we're newbies?"

"In the past two years, Annam has been controlling the market and deliberately limiting the output of old mine rough stones, resulting in an extreme shortage of high-end jadeite."

"This has led to a steady increase in the price of high-end jade jewelry."

"Based on the market prices of the past two years, this piece of jade would be worth at most ten million."

"But given the current shortage of high-end jadeite, are you dreaming of acquiring such a large, top-quality piece of jadeite for seventeen million?"

"I'll offer eighteen million!"

The old man spoke without hesitation.

"I'll offer twenty million!"

"What this beautiful woman said is right. Nowadays, high-quality, icy green jadeite with almost full color is almost extinct in the market."

"If you miss out today, who knows how many years you'll have to wait to find something of the same quality again!"

The three men were aggressive and refused to back down, immediately launching into a bidding war right in front of each other.

Every time he spoke, the price started at a million, making the onlookers' scalps tingle, their hearts pound, and they dared not even breathe.

Chu Xinrou was already mesmerized by the music, and her body became increasingly limp as she leaned against Wei Yuan.

She wasn't unfamiliar with money, and 20 million wasn't a lot for her, but the shock this event brought her was not as simple as getting rich overnight.

It's like she opened an antique shop; her family supported her with 20 million yuan to open the shop, but she didn't think it was anything special.

But if she personally received a Song Dynasty Ru kiln porcelain vase worth 20 million, the thrill of finding a bargain would far outweigh the mere 20 million in cash!

For Chu Xinrou, who was completely immersed in the story, the high-quality icy green jadeite that Wei Yuan found was equivalent to that Ru kiln porcelain vase!

Chu Xinrou nervously twisted her two shapely, fleshy legs, her heart pounding faster and faster.

For some reason, she felt as if the evil energy within her had relapsed, and she really wanted Wei Yuan to absorb it for her again...

Compared to Chu Xinrou's excitement, Liu Gang and Wang Zhao were so ashamed and indignant that they almost wanted to kill someone!

Wang Zhao, in particular, felt as if his heart was bleeding!

Right in front of him, using the scraps he threw away, they cut out top-quality jadeite, which was then snatched up by people at exorbitant prices. How is this any different from killing someone and destroying their spirit?

As for Liu Gang, he didn't care about the money; twenty million was just pocket change to him.

What infuriated him most was losing to Wei Yuan!

Especially after he saw Chu Xinrou practically clinging to Wei Yuan, he finally understood what it was like to be an incompetent husband, a character often depicted in Japanese adult films.

Wrong!

anger!

He wants to kill someone!

Liu Gang gritted his teeth, his eyes growing increasingly sinister, until he made up his mind completely.

Meanwhile, the bidding among the three fat men came to an end.

In the end, the fat man was still the one with the most wealth. As the boss, he was more willing to spend money than the beautiful director and the old collector. He directly bought the jade for a sky-high price of 23 million to 800,000!

The moment the price was announced, a gasp of amazement erupted from the audience, who marveled at the fat boss's wealth and influence.

If the jadeite has only penetrated downwards by one centimeter, then the profit margin is already very thin, or even nonexistent.

But the fat boss was shrewd enough to make a quick decision.

If you add the cost of designing, cutting, and polishing the product to the quote, he will actually lose a little money.

But the accounts can't be calculated like that.

If, in the current climate of scarcity of high-end jadeite, he were to produce a complete set of luxury jewelry meticulously crafted from high-end jadeite, it would instantly make his jewelry brand famous and cause its value to skyrocket!

A chance to make your name resound throughout the industry for 23.8 million – you'll make a killing!

The chubby boss beamed with delight, cupped his hands in greeting to the beautiful female director and the old man, and warmly grasped Wei Yuan's hand.

"Brother, give me an account number, and I'll transfer 23.8 million to your account right away!"

"You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

As he spoke, the fat boss stared at Wei Yuan with some nervousness.

Although they were bidding against each other just now, strictly speaking, Wei Yuan hasn't even announced that he'll sell yet!

If he suddenly stops selling, he'll be in a real bind.

Under the tense and anxious gaze of the fat boss, Wei Yuan smiled slightly.

"How could that be?"

His purpose in coming here is to recoup his losses; only a fool wouldn't sell if someone offered him a price!

Twenty-three million eight hundred thousand!

His health bar, which had just been depleted, was instantly replenished, and even more than doubled!

Wei Yuan, feeling quite pleased with himself, sent the account number to the fat boss. While the boss was making a phone call to transfer the money, Wei Yuan glanced at Liu Gang again.

"The bet has been made; you have to accept the consequences."

"From today onwards, you can no longer bother Boss Chu."

"Now, you can apologize to me!"
