Chapter 136 - Heh heh you know what I mean

Li Wenfeng appraised the raw stone before him, massive in size and shaped like a steamed bun, its color akin to sun-dried pig liver.

In the recesses of the “steamed bun,” specks of green moss were scattered about.

At first glance, it resembled the dried, wrinkled face of an elderly countrywoman.

Wrapped around the middle of the “steamed bun” was a highly irregular white python pattern; the head and tail of the python did not connect, instead, they were staggered unevenly.

Although Ye Haochuan was new to stone gambling, he couldn’t help but praise the quality of this jadeite raw stone.

In fact, for this very reason, the stone was priced at ten million on the price tag displayed at the exhibition stand!

Furthermore, from what Li Wenfeng implied, he was considering spending ten million to bet on the potential of this raw stone.

Ye Haochuan turned on his Perspective Eyes to have a look, shook his head, and, anxious that Li Wenfeng might be deceived and suffer a loss, hurriedly interjected, “Young Master Feng, this raw stone, it’s not worth the gamble.”

No sooner had he spoken than Li Wenfeng responded in surprise, “Brother Ye, why is this raw stone not worth the gamble?

I think its quality looks pretty good.”

Xiao Haimei and Liu Qing’er were also looking at him curiously.

Ye Haochuan gave a confident smile and said, “Young Master Feng, trust me, this raw stone is not worth the bet.

Just listen to me, you won’t suffer any losses.”

However, Li Wenfeng was a bit hesitant.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd that was eavesdropping came closer, buzzing with comments.

“Hey, young man, you’re wrong there.

This raw stone, called the White Python Raw Stone, has a huge gambling factor and holds the potential for an extraordinary increase in value.

It’s a rare treasure among jadeite raw stones.

The ten million price tag is a bit high, but if the bet pays off, you’ll make a fortune!”

“That’s right, young man.

I’ve been in stone gambling for many years and seldom make a mistake.

This raw stone has a high likelihood of turning out green, and I reckon it’s either of the Ice Type or Glutinous Type.”

“What a pity!

I don’t have that much money on me, and friends and relatives aren’t willing to lend it to me, otherwise, I’d be willing to spend ten million on a bet myself.”

“Considering the quality of this raw stone, the price of ten million is fairly reasonable.”

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Li Wenfeng became somewhat tempted.

For a wealthy young master like him, ten million was but a small amount, with little to lose.

But if the stone’s value surged, it would mean striking it rich and showing off!

“Brother Ye, why don’t I give it a try?

What do you say?” Li Wenfeng asked, looking at Ye Haochuan.

“Young Master Feng, don’t you trust me?” Ye Haochuan asked, frowning.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that it feels like such a waste given the good quality of this raw stone…” Li Wenfeng hesitated.

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘All that glitters is not gold,’ so please don’t be fooled by appearances,” Ye Haochuan said, lowering his voice and moving closer to his ear, “I’ve just used our family’s unique secret technique to project on it, and although the water in this raw stone is good, clear, and translucent, the color saturation isn’t there—it’s of little use.”

A unique family secret technique?

Li Wenfeng looked at him with astonishment and wrestled with the decision, but after a while, he finally conceded, “Alright, then I’ll listen to Brother Ye.”

Only then did Ye Haochuan smile slightly, seeing the teachable moment.

However, at that moment, the voice of Boss Zheng, exuding an air of arrogance, came in from the side: “Li family boy, such a raw stone with good quality is known to surge in value, everyone knows it.

This kid is a novice; why would you listen to him?

Don’t you have your own judgment?”

Boss Zheng and Li Tianwei were business rivals, so naturally, he was well-acquainted with his adversary and thus familiar with his son as well.

However, Li Wenfeng didn’t know Boss Zheng at all and was put off by his pot-bellied appearance.

Especially when he saw that the fat pig was hugging his Brother Ye’s ex-girlfriend, it made him even more displeased.

Of course, it also made him despise He Yun even more.

“I’ll listen to my Brother Ye, what’s it to you?” Li Wenfeng snorted.

Boss Zheng chuckled and disdainfully glanced at Ye Haochuan, “Out of all people, why listen to a pretty boy like him?”

To Xiao Haimei, these words were unbearably annoying, and just as she was about to explode, Ye Haochuan quietly held her back.

Seeing that Ye Haochuan was making eye contact with her, Xiao Haimei had no choice but to hold back her anger for the time being.

Ye Haochuan chuckled, “May I know the honored sir’s surname?”

Boss Zheng raised his head proudly, the look in his eyes clearly stating that a pretty boy like him was not worthy of asking.

It was He Yun who proudly explained, “Ye Haochuan, listen well, you’ll be scared to death.

The man standing in front of you is our Haishan’s De Guan Group’s boss, Boss Zheng, Zheng Yiguan, a big shot who doesn’t even consider Tianwei Group worth a glance.”

“Zheng Yiguan?” Ye Haochuan looked up and burst out laughing.

Xiao Haimei, Li Wenfeng, Liu Qing’er, as well as Boss Zheng and He Yun, all watched him, baffled.

He Yun snorted, “What’s so funny?”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t care less about her, looking at Boss Zheng with a half-smile, “Boss Zheng, your name is quite exceptional, isn’t it!”

Boss Zheng said arrogantly, “Of course, Zheng Yiguan, it’s homophonous to ‘wearing one’s robe decently’…”

Before he could finish, Ye Haochuan interrupted, “Exactly, a beast in human’s clothing like you definitely needs to be put right.”

Xiao Haimei, Li Wenfeng, and Liu Qing’er could not help but laugh out loud, especially Xiao Haimei, who laughed so hard that she shook all over, igniting the hearts of those who watched.

Boss Zheng’s face stiffened.

In Haishan, no young man had dared to mock him like this; he said with displeasure, “Young man, you should respect your elders, you know?

Didn’t your father teach you how to behave?”

“Elders?” Ye Haochuan let out a ‘heh’, “For truly respectable and esteemed elders, we must of course show respect.

But for someone like you, who has no respect for age and is shameless, a beast in human’s clothing, heh heh, you know what I mean.”

“You…” Boss Zheng was getting angry.

When had someone like him, a boss in his own right, ever been ridiculed by a greenhorn?

Originally, wanting to demonstrate his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Xiao Haimei, a stunningly enchanting beauty, Boss Zheng had been controlling his emotions.

Now he couldn’t hold back anymore and angrily said, “Young man, don’t be too arrogant.

Do you have any idea, with just one word, I could make you unable to get away with it?”

Damn, I’m arrogant?

Is this counted as arrogant?

Ye Haochuan sneered, crossing his arms, “Old fellow, don’t try to sell oldness here.

You aware, I could take your little life with just one finger?”

As he spoke, he casually pointed at a piece of raw stone salvage not far away; with a “bang”, it shattered into pieces.

“Qigong?”

The color drained from Boss Zheng’s face, but he, a man who had seen all sorts of big storms, quickly recomposed himself and barked, “Brat, daring to show off in front of me, do you know my background?”

Ye Haochuan looked at him disdainfully, “What kind of background is it?”
