Chapter 58

Calmness and composure are signs of maturity. Although Su Mu sometimes couldn't help but get carried away and do things beyond reason under the influence of the business world, more often than not, he maintained absolute clarity.

Like now, when he offered his help, Su Mu was clear about what he was doing from start to finish. The only uncertainty was whether Zhou Ci would appreciate it and be willing to trust him.

If this couldn't be guaranteed, then even if Su Mu bet on all the right stones, it would be meaningless, as what he wanted was to establish a relationship with Zhou Ci.

It was precisely because of this that Su Mu was slightly surprised. He really didn't expect Zhou Ci to not only agree but also show such courage.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be as bold as Zhou Ci, not only trusting a stranger but also boldly taking on all the risks. If she lost, it would be her loss; if she won, they would split the profits. How many people could do that? For a moment, Su Mu even suspected that Zhou Ci might know him and had seen through his intentions.

"No way, I've only been to Qinglin City a few times, let alone caught the eye of someone like Zhou Ci. I'm overthinking this! Perhaps she really is wealthy and doesn't care about this, and she just enjoys the thrill. But it's perfect, if she didn't enjoy the thrill, I wouldn't have this opportunity."

After finding a suitable reason, Su Mu smiled and said, "Boss Duan, are all the stones inside for sale? Can they be used for betting?"

"Of course!" Duan Zhuo nodded and said, "As long as you have the money, you can buy as many stones as you want. Tell me which one you like, and I'll give you a discount, as a gift to President Zhou."

The few stones in front of the Li Cai store were of relatively good quality, while the rest in the store were of lower quality. Duan Zhuo was happy to use these stones to please Zhou Ci. After all, he had already made a lot of money today, a pure profit of 200,000 yuan, which was a huge windfall.

"Then this one!"

Su Mu didn't hesitate for long and casually pointed to a stone in the corner. It looked like he didn't know what he was doing, purely guessing.

"Is this guy really capable?"

"I doubt it. Look at the stone he pointed to, it's gray and unremarkable, not reliable at all."

"President Zhou is going to lose a lot of money again."

Duan Zhuo followed Su Mu's finger and was delighted. Today was his lucky day, meeting a naive young man like Su Mu. When money luck comes, it can't be stopped. Regardless of what Zhou Ci thought, as long as he made a profit, it was fine.

"Are you sure about this one?" Duan Zhuo asked Su Mu, but his eyes glanced at Zhou Ci.

"Yes, this one!" Su Mu nodded.

"President Zhou?" Duan Zhuo probed.

"I said, just choose, I'll take care of the buying. Duan Zhuo, how much is this stone?" Zhou Ci said calmly.

"This one is cheap, just 10,000 yuan." Duan Zhuo smiled. When he originally got this stone, it was just a bonus, and now 10,000 yuan was pure profit.

"Alright, it's settled!" Zhou Ci decided on the spot.

"Alright, Master Lu, start cutting!" Duan Zhuo turned and said.

Su Mu stood quietly, showing no signs of worry. Zhou Ci, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Are you confident?"

"I never hesitate when I do things. Just wait and see me split the money with you." Su Mu smiled.

"Is that so? If that happens, I'll definitely keep my word." Zhou Ci smiled seductively, and Su Mu felt his breathing quicken. Damn, such a seductive person, how can she let people live! They say widows are full of charm, and it's true.

With a slicing sound, the stone fell apart, but nothing was revealed. This one cut made Duan Zhuo's eyelids twitch.

"President Zhou, let's talk. You've been very kind to my small shop today. You're my regular customer, and I can't let you lose. How about we stop betting on this stone? I'll buy it for 50,000 yuan, what do you say?" Duan Zhuo smiled, his eyes darting around.

"50,000 yuan to buy it back?" Zhou Ci raised an eyebrow, her smile turning cold. "Duan Zhuo, do you think I'm short of money? I want to keep betting today. I don't believe we won't get something good. Master Lu, continue."

"Alright!"

The slicing sound rang out again. Master Lu cut very carefully. After three cuts, a bright emerald green appeared. The moment the green appeared, everyone's eyes widened, staring at the stone, their hearts racing, as if they were the ones betting on the jade.

"Could it really be a win?"

Even Zhou Ci was a bit excited, turning to look at Su Mu, but found him calm, as if everything was expected.

"President Zhou, I'll buy this stone for 60,000 yuan!"

"Tch, 60,000 yuan to buy it? You must be dreaming. President Zhou, I'll offer 100,000 yuan!"

"Final offer, 150,000 yuan!"

A stone that was just a piece of waste a moment ago, with the appearance of the emerald green, caused a frenzy among the onlookers. This was the charm of betting on jade. If you could seize the opportunity, you could make a huge leap, becoming a millionaire or even a multimillionaire.

"200,000 yuan!"

Duan Zhuo hurriedly shouted. If he waited any longer, the price would double. As someone who often played with jade, he knew the value of this stone. Even just the part that was revealed was worth 200,000 yuan.

"Everyone, shut up!"

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Ci not only had no intention of selling, but she also scolded them, her eyes scanning the crowd and then landing on Su Mu.

"Should I sell it?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't sell it." Su Mu said casually.

"Then I won't sell it, continue cutting!" Zhou Ci said without hesitation.

"Master Lu, keep cutting!" Duan Zhuo shook his head helplessly. It seemed he had really misjudged this time. He didn't expect this stone to contain such good jade, and now he would lose at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

But before this thought could fade, a chorus of exclamations came from around Duan Zhuo. He hurriedly looked over and was stunned.

As the stone was fully cut and polished, a high-quality emerald appeared. The color was deep, pure, bright, and green, with excellent water clarity, an old pit glass type. Duan Zhuo stared at the jade, muttering, "It's an Imperial Green, an Imperial Green, I let go of an Imperial Green!"

Imperial Green, the best of jade. A piece of this size could make at least a pair of bracelets, and the rest could be made into other jewelry. A preliminary estimate would be at least 5 million yuan.

Duan Zhuo was really in a bad way this time!

5 million yuan, almost as rare as winning the lottery. Such a thing actually happened to Duan Zhuo!

"See that? Did you all see that? An Imperial Green!"

"Even the scraps are worth a fortune!"

"Is he just lucky? How could he guess right?"

The expressions of the people around were very complex, a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. The feeling of resentment towards the rich sprang up in everyone's heart. Their greatest hope now was that Zhou Ci would take the jade and leave, ignoring Su Mu, let alone splitting it with him.

"Hehe!"

Zhou Ci, looking at the Imperial Green, laughed, her ample chest swaying, creating an alluring curve.

"I said, I'm not that unlucky. Even if my mood is bad, my luck can't be bad, right? Alright, Duan Zhuo, stop staring and pack it up for me!"

"Yes, yes!" Duan Zhuo packed the Imperial Green with a pained expression. For a businessman like him, this was more painful than being cut.

Zhou Ci smiled and turned around. The resentment she had felt since entering Langya Garden dissipated. She smiled at Su Mu.

"Brother, thanks to you today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten this Imperial Green. To be honest, I've been playing with jade for years, and this is the best piece I've ever opened. My name is Zhou Ci, and I'm the chairman of Yajiu Hotel. I always keep my word, and this Imperial Green, we'll split it."

"President Zhou, you're joking. I was just saying it casually. Do you really want to give me half the money? That would be taking advantage of the situation. Alright, the Imperial Green is packed for you, take it and go. I should leave too!" Su Mu said calmly.

You have to invest to catch a big fish!

Besides, it wasn't just half of the Imperial Green; even the whole piece didn't matter to Su Mu. With his position, he wouldn't worry about money.

Pretending, pretending, they had seen people pretend, but never like this. The onlookers, hearing Su Mu's words, wished they could pin him to the ground and beat him up.

Do you think it's just a few thousand yuan? Half of an Imperial Green is at least 2 million yuan. I don't believe you're not tempted. Admit it if you are, why pretend here? Is it fun to pretend?

"No!"

Zhou Ci firmly refused, "I, Zhou Ci, never go back on my word. Let's find a place to talk about this."

Saying this, Zhou Ci took the leather bag from Duan Zhuo, confirmed it was the Imperial Green, and handed it to Su Mu, "Here, take it, come with me!"

The moment Su Mu touched Zhou Ci's fingers, the official chart in his mind spun, displaying the most basic information.

Name: Zhou Ci

Position: Chairman of Yajiu Hotel in Qinglin City, founder of Qinglin City's Famous Women's Club, head of the third department of Qinglin City's Investment Promotion Bureau, former head of the logistics department of Qinglin City's government...

Hobbies: Betting on jade, diamonds, perfumes, and other luxury items

Intimacy: 40!

The standard intimacy level is 20, but Zhou Ci had 40 with Su Mu. It seemed the Imperial Green had given Su Mu a good score, which made him feel relieved.

The fish is already on the hook, no need to worry about it getting away.
