Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints
Chapter 560 - 239: This Rideshare Driver Is Such a Spendthrift (Part 4)
"Regret! Regret!"
"Haha... You can tell he’s a rookie—can’t take advice from others and can’t stick to his own choices."
"Young man, we’re just casually chatting, don’t take it seriously!"
"Haha..."
...
Lin Jing: "Is Boss Yang regretting his decision?"
Yang Chen: "No, I meant I’d wait until I’ve chosen a stone before going to pay."
The crowd was shocked. This guy wants to buy more stones?
Yang Chen walked over to another stone and said, "I’ll take this one too."
Everyone looked; the stone was priced at 20 million, and they were shocked again.
"Young man, are you mistaken? This one’s half the size of Young Master Ning’s, yet you’re willing to pay 20 million? Why not add a bit more money to buy Ning’s stone?"
"Right! Ning’s stone is confirmed to have green inside, whereas yours is nothing special. No player ever said there’s green in that stone."
"You, a ride-share driver, are so wasteful. This is just crazy."
...
Lin Jing didn’t think much about it. As long as it sold, she’d earn a commission, so she quickly asked someone to bring the stone out.
"Boss Yang, you really have guts. Anything else you like?" Lin Jing asked with a smile.
Yang Chen nodded, pointing to a stone about his height, "And that one too!"
"Wow! So bold! 35 million!"
"Only Elder Chen Qing thought there might be green inside, but he said even if there is, it wouldn’t cover the costs." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Damn, it’s your first time gambling on stones, and you’re spending so much. I’m impressed!"
...
Young Master Ning quickly asked, "Brother, do you have a secret? Why choose these three stones?"
Yang Chen responded with a smile, "No secret. It’s purely intuition. I feel they contain treasures, so I chose them."
Hong Junle: "Damn, brother, are you serious? You just picked them randomly?"
Yang Chen nodded, "Yeah, picked randomly."
Hong Junle: "Then do you think that stone has anything inside?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! I just told Young Master Ning and the others, there’s something inside, but I let them have it. First come, first served—I won’t compete with seasoned players."
Lin Jing accompanied Yang Chen to pay: one for 12 million, another for 20 million, and the last one for 35 million—a total of 67 million.
Yang Chen said to Wang Zheng, "Give me the check; you can buy shares in this 35 million one."
Wang Zheng nodded, quickly handing over a 500,000 check to Yang Chen.
Then, Yang Chen signed a check for 67 million to pay.
Seeing Yang Chen paying so confidently and decisively, Hong Junle gritted his teeth and immediately rushed to the 25 million stone and declared loudly, "I’ll take this one!"
Young Master Ning hurried over and said, "Brother Le, don’t mess with me! I’ve been eyeing it for over half a month, just about to buy it, please don’t snatch it from me!"
Hong Junle: "Damn, Ning, that’s just not cool! You watched for half a month and didn’t buy it—now that I’m buying, you’re causing trouble. Didn’t I say if I come back and you haven’t bought it, I will? Didn’t I say that?"
Young Master Ning: "I’ll buy it now, okay?"
Hong Junle: "Stop joking! I’ve already said I’m buying this stone. What do you mean by snatching it? Not giving face to me, Hong Junle, huh?"
Young Master Ning: "It’s not that I’m not giving Brother Le face, it’s just—"
Hong Junle: "Just what? I’m taking this one; whoever competes with me is my enemy!"
With that, Hong Junle ran over to pay.
"Sigh... Ning, we have to say, you didn’t dare act decisively for half a month—can’t blame Brother Le for being swift."
"Exactly! It’s all about being decisive in stone gambling to create miracles. You hesitated and missed the chance for wealth."
"Sigh... Be more decisive next time."
...
Young Master Ning gritted his teeth, his gaze full of intense anger.
Still, he wouldn’t easily confront Hong Junle.
Hong Junle himself might be average, but his father, Hong Sitong, is the manager for the Xue Family—disturbing him equals disturbing the Xue Family.
So everyone else feared Hong Junle; Young Master Ning wouldn’t dare touch him either.
Lin Jing smiled and said, "Everyone, please follow me. I’ll take you to cut the stones now."
The third floor at Mingcui Square is where stones are cut, and they have professional stone cutters here.
If jade is found inside, it can be exchanged for money on site based on quality and weight with Mingcui Square.
Of course, other players can also bid based on their judgment.
That’s one reason people liked gambling on stones at Mingcui Square.
At this moment, the stone cutting hall was very noisy.
"Give me green! Green! Green!"
"To get by in life, you’ve got to have a touch of green above! Bring green from head to toe!"
"Damn! Another dud! My million’s just vanished like that!"
"Damn it, spent five million on a stone that yields jade the size of a fingernail—big loss!"
...
This scene is much like the dice gambling scenes in period dramas.
There, they shout "big big big," "small small small," but here they shout "green green green."
Men might say they hate the color green, but at this place, they love it—wishing one slash reveals green from head to toe.
Hong Junle chuckled and said, "Brother, want to go first?"
Yang Chen: "Why don’t you go first? Everyone’s waiting to see what your stone will yield."
Hong Junle: "Haha... Alright! I’ll go first! Come on, cut my stone!"
The stone cutter nodded, signaling staff to bring the stone over.
Everyone gathered around, the moment to witness a miracle had arrived...
