Chapter 115 - Childe Bai
Chapter 115 Childe Bai
There was a “buzz” and the whole scene of the stone cutting was noisy. There was really green.
Liu Muyu stood in the crowd, looking at Ding Ning who looked unhurried. An unusual emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes. Was this guy a master of gambling on stones?
Before this, she kept an eye on the scene that all people gambled, but never joined in the fun. After all, Ding Ning was just a lucky guy in her eyes.
But now, she felt that she seemed to misjudge. This little brother who was always unhurried and calm seemed to have real abilities.
It must be known that gambling on stones depended on experience and judgment. Ding Ning’s performance was always without impatience. It seemed that he would definitely raise the price through gambling.
If this was just luck, that was one thing. If he really had the ability to gamble on stones, that would be terrific. He was absolutely a talent.
The development of White Jade Veranda had reached a bottleneck. If he could be recruited, the White Jade Veranda would be with redoubled power and make a breakthrough.
The faces of the group of people with Xiang Bolong were extremely ugly. But if they won or lost, it was too early to come to a conclusion. After all, there was green on one side. It was still unknown who would finally win.
The playboy in white hair snorted chillingly without patience, “What are you yelling about? Even if there is a little green, who can say that it must be able to raise the price through gambling?”
“Exactly. Maybe there is nothing underneath. Wait patiently.”
“When the price rises through gambling, it’s not too late to cheer. Now it’s hard to say.”
… The playboys’ faces were not good-looking and said edging out to let everyone’s discussing come to an abrupt end. They were all businessmen, and even if they had some backgrounds, they were not willing to offend these mindless playboys.
Childe Bai still had a lazy look as if nothing could change his countenance, but the obscure emotion flickered in the deep eyes.
Ding Ning glanced at Childe Bai and felt that this person was a bit interesting. Not to mention anything else, just the bearing that even if the Moun Tai collapsed in front of him, Childe Bai would not change countenance, made him be convinced.
The more such a person acted like this, the more dangerous he was, because the dog that could bark did not bite and the dog that could bite did not bark, making it difficult for others to see his thoughts from his behavior.
The stone cutting master also knew that he overreacted, and he awkwardly laughed and his expression was restored to seriousness. He meticulously started cutting according to the mark made by Ding Ning.
“The price is rising through gambling, really rising.”
Ding Ning felt a pain in his arm. He tilted and saw that Mu Yanran tensely looked at the crude raw jade stone. She excitedly blushed in high spirits like a little girl.
A slender beautiful hand grabbed his arm unconsciously, and it seemed that she could not express her joy from the heart without this.
Such a scene completely disconnected with her temperament of an ice queen. She was more like a beautiful girl full of youthful vigor and made Ding Ning feel warm.
This icy woman actually hoped that he could win. In the case that he flung out bad words, she could still be happy for himself. It seemed that she was also a kind-hearted woman.
It was the first time that Ding Ning saw her smile. He had to say that her smile was really pure and beautiful. If he could marry such a queen, it would be very happy even if he just looked at her.
Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but open his mouth and smirk. The icy queen was good, but the smiling queen could, even more, make others heartbeat.
“Smile for what? Rascal, am I familiar with you?”
Mu Yanran just found that he was fixedly looking at her, smirking, and almost drooled. She couldn’t help but blush and ferociously glared at him and angrily dissed.
“Hey, why are you tweaking my arm if we are not familiar?”
Ding Ning naughtily pouted toward her hand that still grabbed his arm.
Then, Mu Yanran found that she forgot herself and could not help but miff, and withdrew her hand like getting an electric shock, raised her head in a tsundere way and restored the queen style, “Humph, I am afraid that you are too excited to faint, so I kindly help you up.”
Looking at this woman who spoke differently with her thinking, Ding Ning suddenly felt that she was so cute at the moment. He kneaded his arm that was red by grabbing as he said in a serious way, “So I have to thank you.”
“That doesn’t have to be. After all, you are the jade carving master of our company. As a leader of you, naturally, I can do nothing to save you from ruin. After all, such a tragedy Fan Jin suffered happens sometimes.”
Mu Yanran showed a cold face and a look that he should not be too touched; the slight raising curve of the corners of the mouth decreased her cold several levels. It seemed that her mood was good.
“Having such a leader makes me so touched that I really want to cry. Oh, how should I thank my leader?”
Ding Ning scratched his chin with a distressed look, and suddenly smiled naughtily. “I cannot reward this great kindness I received from you, or I will pay this back by marrying you.”
Mu Yanran took two steps back with dislike and drew back distance with him, saying with a scorned face in a low voice, “I know that such a rascal like you is with malice. You should go to find your young married woman sister. She will be willing that you pay this back by marrying her.”
Ding Ning smiled deeply, stroked his chin with fine and thick fluff, frowned and said gloatingly, “Why do I smell sour?”
“Sour? I think you are nervous and sweat much, and the smell of sweat is not sour.”
Mu Yanran obviously had much experience in dealing with such provocations. She did not blush and was not nervous. She looked at the front without squinting and ignored someone’s molesting.
Ding Ning lamented. This girl was obstinate. It seemed that the way to conquest was still far away.
As the stone cutting master was extremely excited and energetic, he rubbed the raw stone hard. The faces of Xiang Bolong and others were already gloomy.
Ding Ning’s molesting failed. Knowing that Mu Yanran’s defence mechanism was very strong, he was no longer pressing hard gradually.
He crossed his arms and banteringly looked at Xiang Bolong. “The guy who always gives money away, what do you say now?”
Xiang Bolong snorted, gnashed his teeth and said, “You have a good destiny. Since I’m willing to take the gamble, I’ll admit defeat and pay the loss!”
“Okay, yes, you are still a man. Then, are you going to transfer money now or transfer money after the stone is completely cut and you have dropped the idea forever?”
Ding Ning always disliked to give a blow to a person when he was down, but the opportunity had already been given to Xiang Bolong, who did not know how to treasure it. Naturally, he would not be polite to him.
“Give me your account. I will transfer the money to you. This bet is all on me.”
Childe Bai suddenly opened his mouth and said. There was no worries and resentment. He still wore that lazy look.
“Childe Bai, how does that work? It is my gamble. How can I let you pay? ”
Xiang Bolong said hurriedly; his face was full of fear.
“Yeah, Childe Bai, it is just 30 million. It will be over when our brothers tightened our belt. No. This bill is counted on our.”
“We split it, and it is only a few million for a person. It’s just a mere trifle. How can we make you spend money?”
…
A group of playboys showed their personal loyalty at the moment, and they refused the kindness of Childe Bai one after another.
“You are my brothers, and the 30 million bets are also proposed by me. You also know my family. 30 million is nothing to me.”
Childe Bai did not change his smile. He patted Xiang Bolong on the shoulder and prevented a few playboys from disputing. “Especially Bolong, although he has been no lack of money, he has already lost a few games and that is too much. OK, if you treat me as a brother, don’t be verbose anymore. This bill is counted on me.”
Seeing that Childe Bai said resolutely and decisively and with indubitability, that group of playboys did not argue anymore, just looking at Childe Bai with full of determination that they could die for confidants in their eyes.
In particular, Xiang Bolong was so touched that he wanted to cry. Perhaps, even if Childe Bai let him go to murder and set fire, he would not hesitate to execute.
Such a good way to try to win popular support! 30 million could only be regarded as a number which was neither too big nor too little for these childes. It was difficult to afford it alone, but it would be very easy to afford by pooling money together.
However, this Childe Bai had won the initiative in a few words. He spent 30 million to let all people be moved to tears of gratitude to him and bought the loyalty of these people.
There were 12 people of these childes. Maybe they were nothing, but it was notable that their families were either rich or noble.
How much energy could be burst out when these influences were combined together? This must shock people.
Ding Ning’s eyes were stern, and he secretly admired for Childe Bai’s scheme and means. Sure enough, learning was everywhere!
He was afraid that what Childe Bai showed was just a tip of the iceberg. Such a person had used the imperial politics proficiently and naturally, and every one of these playboys could not see that.
If such a person was an enemy, that would be absolutely terrible. He only needed to say. Then there would be countless people rushing to work themselves to death for him. If he was a friend, he would not be able to end well. He would definitely be convinced by his courage and means unconsciously and eventually become his pawn.
For such people, it was best to stay away from them, not to offend, not to intersect.
Of course, if Childe Bai wanted to conquer him or compete with him, he would definitely hit him immediately.
He was neither humble nor pushy and gave the bank account to Childe Bai. The man who was willing to take the gamble should willingly pay the loss. Since he won, he should get the bet that belonged to him. If he were afraid of offending people and did not want the bet, he would have no advantage over and easily weaken his imposing manner.
The text message from the bank which told that the money was paid into account arrived. Ding Ning smiled. “Thanks for the generosity of Childe Bai and provide relief to the poor like me.”
“Hahaha, Mr. Ding, right now, you say that you are a poor man. I am afraid that there are not many rich people in Ninghai. Let’s know each other. My surname is Bai; the single name is Qing.”
Bai Qing offered his hand and introduced himself, but he glanced out of the corner of his eyes at Mu Yanran and found that she did not respond. He could not help but frown slightly. “Did I identify the wrong person? That shouldn’t be.”
Ding Ning keenly detected this. He squinted and said in a low voice, “Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. But Childe Bai, it is better to not be concerned about someone you should not be concerned about.”
Bai Qing heard this and was dumbfounded. His face became extremely weird, and he suddenly laughed and screamed with laughter and shed tears.
“Is it funny? I don’t really like joking.”
Ding Ning’s face became serious; there was undisguised killing intent in his eyes. He could tolerate that Bai Qing played a trick to himself, but he was never allowed that he was concerned about Mu Yanran.
“Hahaha, Mr Ding, you’ve thought too much.”
Bai Qing wiped his tears, and his face showed a rarely sincere look. “Whether you believe or not, I sincerely want to make a friend with you. As for what you said, I promise that it will never happen.”
Looking at his sincere eyes, Ding Ning was a bit shameful and grinned, saying, “That would be the best since Childe Bai does not have that idea. Then we still have the possibility to become friends.”
Bai Qing was dumbfounded, showing a look that he did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he was a wise man. Naturally, he would not show Ding Ning how powerful and prestigious he was in Ninghai, and how many people cried and wanted to be his friends but failed.
He shook his head with a forced smile, put an arm around his shoulders, winked and said in a low voice, “Dude, come on, I believe in you!”
“You’ve thought too much. I just don’t want her to be forced to do what she is reluctant to do. I don’t have any evil thoughts.”
Ding Ning found out of the corner of his eyes that Mu Yanran was looking at him chillily and it seemed that she had heard something. He immediately showed a look with great justice and said in an impassioned manner.
