"Master Wang, you must be joking. This pink lotus root jade is worth twenty million yuan! I don't need it at all! Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person. If I win, I don't need this jade, but you have to pay me the same price as the pink lotus root jade. I don't think the Wang Family will be unwilling to pay twenty million yuan, "Gu Ning said with provocation.
Wang Hongming was annoyed. Twenty million yuan was nothing in the Wang Family's eyes, but he wouldn't give it away for free.
"Miss Tang, do you really want to do this?" Wang Hongming's eyes were gloomy. He asked with a hint of anger, intimidation, and threat.
"Why can't I do that? It's your granddaughter who proposed the bet, not me. Do you want to deny it now? "Gu Ning asked coldly. Her voice was as cold as ice in winter.
Wang Hongming didn't think that he could escape unscathed. Did he think that she was easy to bully just because she gave in once?
Hearing that, others began to discuss it.
"That's right. That's too much of a bully."
"The Wang Family dares to bully a woman like that. It's so shameless!"
"Exactly, I saw with my own eyes that this pink lotus root jade was already in Miss Tang's hands, but Miss Wang took it away from her."
"What? It's too shameless!"
"Well, it's so shameless. It's not like you don't know what kind of people the Wang family is. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. "
"…"
Although the Wang Family was powerful, it couldn't control everything, so many people still dared to talk about it.
Especially the representatives of jewelry businessmen, they all supported Gu Ning. They weren't afraid of the Wang Family at all, because the Wang Family couldn't compare with them.
Wang Hongming's wrinkled face was burning. No matter how shameless and domineering he was, he couldn't take it lightly. He was angry, but he couldn't lose his temper. If he did, he would be labeled as a bully.
Wang Hongming tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Well, then you continue to cut the stone. If you win, I will give you the same price as this jade."
Although the Wang family didn't lack jade, they didn't have much jade above medium-high-level, so he would rather give them money than jade.
"Grandpa …" Wang Xinyan was unwilling to accept it.
"Shut up. Since you brought this up first, you have to bear the consequences." Wang Hongming scolded Wang Xinyan. He was annoyed by Wang Xinyan's stubbornness. If she hadn't insisted on the competition, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"Grandpa, the Wang Family is one of the most influential families in City Teng, and my uncle is the vice mayor of City Teng. Why should we be afraid of a woman from another city?" Wang Xinyan argued.
"Oh! Deputy mayor? Just because he was a deputy mayor, he could bully others? Shouldn't officials be upright and plainspoken, and be able to distinguish between right and wrong? Why is it that when it comes to you, you're using your power to bully others? The vice mayor wasn't even the most powerful person in City Teng! What do you think the vice mayor would do if his superior found out? "Gu Ning wasn't scared at all, and questioned Wang Hongming.
In the beginning, Wang Hongming wanted to see whether Gu Ning would be scared by the title of the vice mayor, so he didn't scold Wang Xinyan. To his surprise, Gu Ning wasn't scared at all, and she even knew how to threaten him.
"Xinyan, shut your mouth. It's your own business. Don't involve the Wang Family and your uncle in case others misunderstand you," Wang Hongming said. He indeed didn't want his second son to be involved in this matter, because it would affect his prestige as an official, and the Wang Family would be affected as well.
However, the Wang Family had never met such a tough opponent before. Except for those who were more powerful than the Wang Family, the Wang Family had never suffered a loss before.
This woman wasn't afraid of the Wang Family at all. Did she have a more powerful backer?
Although Wang Xinyan was unwilling to accept it, she didn't dare to say another word. She could only give in and pray that Gu Ning wouldn't cut out more jade.
The stone gambling continued.
As the third raw material was cut out and sold, the sixth raw material was cut out, the fourth raw material was cut out and sold, and the seventh raw material was cut out …
The sixth raw material Gu Ning cut out was a medium-high-level jade. Once the sound of green was heard, Wang Hongming's heart sank.
It was a medium-high-level jade of the glutinous type.
The stone-cutting master only felt like suffering. He hoped that his boss wouldn't vent his anger on him this time, or he would be fired.
The seventh raw material was a medium-high-level jade of the hibiscus type. The stone-cutting master's hands were trembling, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
"How can it be? How can it be?" Wang Xinyan was so anxious that she was about to cry.
At this moment, Wang Hongming already believed that he would lose, and he was jealous of Gu Ning's ability.
"Ah! I remember it now. "
All of a sudden, the man who had said that he would look at Gu Ning with a serious face opened his mouth. "I've read a post on the Internet. A few days ago, a woman cut out four pieces of medium-high-level jade and high-level jade in a row in City G, and she earned 345 million yuan! Everyone calls her the Queen of Jade. Is she the Queen of Jade? "
"What? The Queen of Jade? "
Everyone was shocked, and turned to look at Gu Ning. Seeing her refute, they believed that she was the Queen of Jade.
Wang Hongming had also heard about it, but he didn't believe it. He thought that it was just a publicity stunt, or she was just lucky.
However, now …
If this woman was really the Queen of Jade, what had happened last time wasn't a publicity stunt, but a real achievement. They had witnessed it with their own eyes this time.
Thinking of this woman's unbelievable ability, Wang Hongming glanced at the raw materials in Gu Ning's cart with concern. Could it be … Wang Hongming didn't dare to continue thinking about it. If it was true, he couldn't accept it.
Someone immediately took out his phone to take photos and post them on Weibo and WeChat Moments. Gu Ning saw it, but she didn't stop them. She wasn't using her real face anyway, so she wasn't afraid that others would recognize her.
Before long, a piece of news titled "I met the Queen of Jade on the street of stone gambling in City Teng. She cut out six pieces of medium-high-level jade and one piece of medium-high-level jade in a row. To be continued …"
Few people knew who the Queen of Jade was, but they were shocked by the news that she had cut out eight pieces of jade.
The person who posted the post was a native of City Teng, so most of his WeChat Moments were local people, and he knew a lot about stone gambling. It was a game of stone gambling that 9 out of 10 people would lose.
When did it happen? How could it be so easy to cut out jade?
