I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

Liu Xin hesitated; the stone cost 8000 yuan.

Eight thousand yuan is not a small amount for him; the clinic only earns twenty or thirty thousand yuan a month.

If this money goes down the drain, he'll be heartbroken for days.

Remembering how Chen Mo had won two yuan in a row gambling on stones last time, Liu Xin gritted his teeth and decided to buy it: "Okay! This one!"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with dark skin and calloused hands.

He took the stone, examined it, then looked at Chen Mo and Liu Xin, his eyes darting around:

"Boss, you have a good eye! This is old mine jade. The python pattern on the skin is so beautiful; the chances of it turning green are very high. Eight thousand!"

Liu Xin frowned: "Eight thousand is too expensive. This stone doesn't even look that big. Five thousand would be more reasonable!"

The stall owner shook his head: "Boss, this is genuine Moxi sand quarry jade, eight thousand is really not expensive!"

"Five thousand!" Liu Xin insisted firmly, "Sell if you can, otherwise forget it!"

The stall owner hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed:

"Okay, okay, five thousand it is. Consider it making friends. Boss, card or cash?"

Liu Xin took out her phone, scanned the code, and watched as 5000 yuan was deducted from her account. Her heart ached terribly; that was 5,000 yuan!

After receiving the money, the stall owner asked with a smile, "Boss, would you like the stone cut open on the spot?"

"untie!"

The stall owner took the stone and walked to the stone-cutting machine.

People around gathered around when they saw that another stone was about to be cut.

The young woman in the cream-colored coat also came over, arms crossed, and looked at them.

"Has someone cut a stone again?"

"That girl just ruined several pieces; I wonder if this one will yield anything!"

"The outer shell looks alright, there's still hope!"

Liu Xin stood next to the stone cutting machine, his palms sweaty.

Five thousand dollars! It absolutely has to turn green! If it turns out badly, he'll be eating dirt this month.

"Sizzle—"

The blade cut into the stone, making a screeching sound.

The blade cut all the way through, and the stone was quickly cut in half.

The vendor picked up one half, rinsed the cut surface with water, and a rich green burst open in the sunlight, so bright it was dazzling.

"It's green!"

The stall owner's spirits lifted, and his voice changed, "Huge price increase!"

The crowd erupted in chaos.

"Let me see! Let me see! It's a vibrant green! This is a vibrant green!"

"Such excellent water content? High-grade icy jadeite! This is high-grade icy jadeite!"

"Bought for five thousand yuan? How much is this worth?!"

The stall owner, his hands trembling as he held the stone, exclaimed, "Boss, this material is amazing!"

"Look at the color, the clarity, the finish—this could make several big brands! Conservatively speaking, it's worth at least 130 million!"

130 million!

Liu Xin's mind went blank for a moment.

Five thousand dollars, and in the blink of an eye, it becomes one million three hundred thousand?

Liu Xin looked at Chen Mo as if he were a monster.

Old Chen made a profit twice in a row when gambling on stones last time, and he made a profit again this time. What kind of divine luck is this?

Chen Mo smiled and patted Liu Xin on the shoulder: "Isn't the one I picked out for you pretty good?"

"Not just good! It's a gem chosen by heaven!"

Liu Xin was very excited.

The young woman in the cream-colored coat looked at Chen Mo, and her eyes changed completely.

She had thought Chen Mo was just making things up.

Only now do I realize that Chen Mo is truly capable.

At this point, people in the crowd had already started bidding.

"Hey bro, wanna sell this? I'll offer a million!"

"You think you can buy this rock for 100 million? Dream on! 110 million!"

"120 million!"

Liu Xin looked at the stone in her hand, then at Chen Mo, her face flushed with excitement.

He had run a clinic in this antique market for seven or eight years and had seen people become rich overnight with a single cut.

But I never thought something like this would happen to me.

"150 million!"

"160 million!"

"165 million!"

At that moment, the young woman in the cream-colored coat stepped forward: "180 million!"

The entire room fell silent!

Upon hearing this number, all the bidders shook their heads and backed down.

This stone is worth at most 170 million; if it exceeds that price, there's no profit to be made.

The stall owner stood to the side, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

He imported this stone from Myanmar. He bought it for 2000 yuan, but no one wanted it for more than half a year. Today, he sold it for 5000 yuan.

As a result, the vendor cut the price down to 180 million, and the stall owner felt his heart bleeding. 180 million had slipped away right under his nose.

The young woman looked at Liu Xin and smiled: "Boss, 180 million, will you sell?"

Liu Xin nodded mechanically: "Sell! Of course, sell!"

The young woman took out her phone and transferred the money on the spot.

Liu Xin's phone rang, and she glanced down at it.

Agricultural Bank of China received RMB 1,800,000.

Liu Xing rubbed his eyes and counted carefully several times.

That's right, seven zeros, that's 180 million!

He only earns about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year running his clinic.

After deducting rent, utilities, medicine costs, and other expenses, you'd be lucky to have 100,000 left.

Now, he has an extra 1.8 million in his account, it's like a dream come true.

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, stop spacing out, let's go!"

The two squeezed through the crowd and walked along the antique street.

Liu Xin looked down at the balance on her phone, then looked up at Chen Mo: "Old Chen, am I dreaming?"

Chen Mo was speechless: "Pathetic! If you don't believe me, pinch yourself!"

Liu Xin pinched her thigh, winced in pain, and then chuckled.

"It's not a dream, it really isn't a dream! One million eight hundred thousand, Old Chen, I've never seen so much money in my entire life!"

"Look at you, so pathetic!" Chen Mo shook his head with a smile.

Liu Xin continued, "But you helped me pick out the stone, so we'll split the money 50/50. I'll transfer it to you right now!"

Chen Mo initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought, "Fine, I'll just help Liu Xin pick out a couple more pieces later."

So he laughed and said, "You're a good kid, I'll pick out a couple more for you later!"

Liu Xin's eyes lit up: "I have wandered for half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather..."

"Ahem!"

Just then, the young woman in the cream-colored coat hurried up: "Gentlemen, please wait a moment!"

Liu Xin looked somewhat embarrassed, while Chen Mo looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The young woman tidied her hair and said excitedly, "Sir, your eyesight is amazing! How did you know?"

Chen Mo waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more about this matter. No one would believe him if he told them about his ability to see through things with his mental power.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the young woman didn't press him for details and tactfully changed the subject:

"Sir, an elder of mine is having a birthday soon, and I'd like to give him a fine stone as a gift!"

"But my judgment is terrible; I've already lost two or three hundred thousand today!"

The woman paused, looked into Chen Mo's eyes, and her tone carried a hint of pleading:

"Sir, could you please do me a favor? Help me pick out a stone. Don't worry, the stone you choose is yours; I'm willing to pay a high price!"

Chen Mo frowned.

He initially wanted to refuse, not wanting to appear too conspicuous.

In the jade gambling business, the right way is to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.

But there's no reason to turn away money that's offered to you.

He may not be short of money, but who would complain about having too much money?

"Alright!"

Chen Mo agreed.

The young woman was overjoyed and reached out her hand:

"My name is Qin Zhiyi. May I ask how you should address me, sir?"

Chen Mo reached out and shook her hand: "Chen Mo!"

Qin Zhiyi took out a business card and handed it over with both hands.

Chen Mo took it and glanced at it—Jin Jiufu Gold, Executive Director, Qin Zhiyi.
