Chapter 120: Card Swiping

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tan Si covered her sunglasses and hurriedly took a step back. Her mouth was still stiff. “I can’t be bothered with you!”

...

After Tan Si finished speaking, she still held her sunglasses with one hand, afraid that Tan Ming would dare to come up and take them off forcefully. After all, that violent woman’s strength was not something a weak woman like her could resist.

Jiang Zhen turned his body to block Tan Si’s line of sight. He looked at Tan Ming and asked in a low voice, “Do you need help?”

Tan Ming shook her head gently. Seeing this, Jiang Zhen continued to look at the other raw stones.

When Tan Ming realized that Tan Si was also choosing raw stones, she had a thought. “Are you choosing a birthday gift for Aunt?”

Tan Si stopped touching the raw stones and suddenly realized why Tan Ming was also here. After figuring it out, she chuckled. “That’s right. Don’t tell me you’re also choosing? Your wooden brain has finally opened up. You know how to cater to preferences, but that’s not strange. After all, Aunt is so famous now. Of course you won’t miss the opportunity to curry favor with her.”

“However, with your meager salary, don’t overestimate yourself and gamble on stones. This is not a place for poor people like you.”

When Tan Ming heard this, her gaze landed on the stone that Jiang Zhen had picked up just now. She decided to scam Tan Si. She looked at Tan Si indignantly. “That might not be the case. I heard that the uncertainty of stone gambling is very high. Who knows if I’ll be extremely lucky today!”

Tan Si looked at Tan Ming mockingly. Although she did not know how to look at raw stones, she knew that the probability of finding something that was worth more than its price was similar to winning the lottery. The boss was not stupid. The price was set by veterans. However, she would not be so kind as to remind Tan Ming. It was best to let Tan Ming lose all her money. When the time came, she would give her aunt a gift of a few hundred yuan. Then, her own gift would stand out.

Tan Si spread her hands and said provocatively, “Then give it a try. With your rotten luck, you can forget about making a comeback for the rest of your life!”

Tan Ming pretended to be enraged. She casually picked up the raw stone that Jiang Zhen had taken a fancy to and asked the boss, “Boss, how much is this raw stone?”

The boss had been paying attention to the situation in the shop and had long seen that Tan Si and Tan Ming didn’t get along. When he heard Tan Ming’s question, he walked in to see which raw stone it was. He then stole a glance at Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen didn’t say anything and looked away.

The boss understood that he was asking him to report the normal price, but considering that he had observed that Jiang Zhen took special care of this girl, he quoted a more realistic price. “This is a full raw stone. I’ll give you a real price. The fixed price is 150,000 yuan.”

Tan Ming took out her bank card from her bag and looked at Tan Si. “Paying by card!”

Tan Si chuckled. “It’s not something that can be produced just because you’re being imposing.”

After swiping her card, Tan Ming requested to break it open on the spot.

The boss himself was an expert at opening raw stones. After taking the raw stone, he set the program and placed it at a good angle before letting the machine cut it open.

The moment the machine rang, everyone knew that someone was stone gambling. The surrounding people came over curiously, and Tan Si was no exception. However, she did not want to be with these men to avoid getting stained with the stench of sweat. Hence, she stood at the periphery and waited to slap Tan Ming in the face with reality.

“How much is this material here?”

The boss was overjoyed when he saw people surrounding him. They had just opened for business today. He hoped that the material was not too bad. This way, he could attract more customers to look at his goods.

The boss replied enthusiastically, “150,000 yuan.”

“This price is not low, but it’s a little difficult to get really good goods!”

“You can’t say that. The word gambling in ‘stone gambling’ is important! No one knows the outcome until the last moment.”

“That’s true. One slash could go either way!”

The stone that Tan Ming bought was not very thick. In less than ten minutes, there was a clang.

The raw stone fell into the metal box of the cutter.

The boss turned off the power and took out the stone from the metal box. He took out a clean wet rag with one hand and began to wipe it. As he wiped, his movements became slower and slower.

Because the boss’s back was facing everyone, the onlookers could only see his actions. Some people could not suppress their curiosity and took a few steps forward for a better view.

“How much did you say this piece cost?!”

A passerby who was leaning against the boss asked with a trembling voice.

On the other side, someone replied in a daze, “I think he said 150,000 yuan.”

Seeing that the expressions of the people who went forward were a little strange, a middle-aged man in a black T-shirt stepped forward to take a look himself.. “Boss, the materials from the same batch are not opened yet! Hurry up and come out to take a look!”
