It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

The result of the stone cutting was almost entirely predictable.

Luo Na's stone, cut from a whole piece, revealed a cluster of icy jadeite with floating flowers, about the size of an egg. The jadeite was translucent and the floating flowers were lively.

Gu Qingyao was completely shocked.

What kind of jade gambling technique is this?

Following Chen Mo's lines, a piece of jade was perfectly cut out.

Moreover, how could such a high-quality stone produce something like this? How did he know?

She stared intently at Chen Mo, her throat bobbing.

Bidding took place immediately, and in the end, the stall owner bought it for 280,000.

280,000 yuan has been received.

"Linglong, pinch me." Luo Na looked at her mobile banking account display.

Yu Linglong smiled and pinched her.

"Ouch, it really hurts!"

She jumped up, spun around in place, and the hem of her Dai-style sarong flew up.

Chen Mo also smiled.

That's the fun of gambling on jade.

"Lona, you're in luck! Come on, Linglong, let me cut you."

The stone cutter made a single cut, revealing no green, but rather a faint purple hue.

The stall owner leaned closer to take a look and screamed.

"Holy crap, a violet! A translucent, icy violet!"

Those around gasped again.

The middle-aged man, in particular, was in a very awkward position.

Just now you were saying that they have too much money to burn.

Goodness, they've all surged.

"Holy crap, both prices went up? They look like junk! Why didn't I buy them?"

"Is this a newbie protection period? But I didn't make any money on my first jade gambling attempt."

"Wow, this purple is so perfect, it would be absolutely gorgeous as a bracelet."

Someone immediately made a bid.

"Girl, I'll offer 300,000 for this fabric!"

"Three hundred and twenty thousand!"

Chen Mo continued to have his master cut the jade, eventually producing a palm-sized violet, a type of glutinous ice jade. Even though a small part of it wasn't very pure, it still looked beautiful.

Gu Qingyao's breathing quickened as she watched.

Another piece of jade was perfectly cut.

The first time could be attributed to luck, but the second time…

This guy is truly a master of jade gambling.

The surrounding business owners immediately resumed their heated bidding.

Finally, a middle-aged woman offered 520,000.

The money arrived in her account. Yu Linglong looked at the numbers on her phone and then at Chen Mo.

She was genuinely happy, but her mind started to wander.

What else could there be between a man and a woman who are not related by blood, besides that?

A purely platonic relationship between a man and a woman? Bullshit!

Oh dear, Mo is obviously giving her money; she can only let him handle it…

Chen Mo glanced at Yu Linglong, read her thoughts, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems this investment went quite well.

For him, making money is easy, but skills are far more valuable than money.

Anyway, having more skills is never a bad thing.

"Linglong, Luo Na, you're really lucky. Let's go, let's keep shopping."

There are no more big deals at this point, so it's not worth it.

They left the stall, with Gu Qingyao walking beside them and Yu Linglong and Luo Na following behind, whispering to each other.

Chen Mo checked the time and sped up. The second, the third, the fourth…

We walked around and ended up renting the stroller for nothing.

There are many small shops, but few large shops, and the quality of their materials is not very good. They are expensive, and the price increases are minimal.

In the end, he only bought three pieces, spending 25,000 yuan.

They're all cheap items that don't perform very well.

But it is precisely because of poor performance that one can seize opportunities.

The others that performed well have all been worn smooth by countless hands, which is like spending a lot of money on raw materials – it's pointless.

These three pieces—one was cut into icy jadeite with floating flowers for a bracelet, another into glutinous icy yellow jadeite, and the last into black jadeite—earned him 120 million yuan.

But Gu Qingyao was completely convinced.

It cost a total of 26,800 yuan and sold for 2 million yuan.

The key point is that he was selective throughout the entire process, not just blindly choosing.

Having been in the jade business for so many years, she has met many jade gambling masters.

But even true masters like Qin Tianping only have a success rate of around 40%.

They rely on their skills and experience to achieve a 4 out of 10 wins and ensure profitability, with skills contributing about 70% and luck accounting for 30%.

For most players, this proves the saying in the jade gambling circle: "Nine out of ten bets fail, one breaks even and one wins."

Even a god couldn't judge the value of a piece of jade!

And what about Chen Mo?

I bought five pieces, and they all went up in price, even though I picked them from some unremarkable scrap.

I must have him.

He was Sheng Heng's savior.

The three people came out just as Jade Street was about to close.

As soon as she got on the bus, Rona turned her head.

"Brother Mo, here's the money."

She was a little embarrassed, "I just drive a car and I made 28 yuan, that's not good."

"Are you looking down on me?" Chen Mo leaned back in his seat. "Do you think I'm short of money?"

"Besides, before I came here, I promised Linglong that I would make her financially independent. Now, she's giving you the stone. If you want to give it to her, then give it to her."

"Nana, just take it."

Rona glanced at her.

【Hey, my little white rabbit, you've been targeted by the big bad wolf. I'm worried you won't be able to escape, but you don't seem to want to. Well, that big bad wolf is handsome, rich, and generous; even I want to be his little white rabbit.】

"Thank you, Brother Mo!" the two said in unison.

Gu Qingyao, however, looked displeased.

Is this guy picking up girls? He's so generous.

Men, as expected of that kind of structure, are all "bird-like".

"Brother Mo, let's go to my little bar for a drink, it's on me tonight."

"Okay." Chen Mo glanced at the time. "But it can't be past midnight tonight. I need to go to bed early. We're going to the auction tomorrow."

"Okay!"

When they arrived at the small bar, Luo Na served drinks and food, and they drank together for a while before going on stage to dance with Yu Linglong.

After jumping a few rounds, Luo Na ran down and took Chen Mo's hand.

"Brother Mo, come up and dance with us!"

"I can't dance."

"It's okay, just twist it a few times!"

Chen Mo was pulled up.

In the past, he would have been absolutely nervous in such situations, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.

But it's different now.

Can't jump? Then just twist and turn however you like.

He did a somersault, braced himself with one hand, spun around in the air, and landed steadily.

Several female guests in the audience cheered.

He did another somersault, and the moment he landed, he lifted the hem of his T-shirt, revealing his abs.

The cheers turned into screams.

"One more!"

"Handsome guy, add me on WeChat!"

Chen Mo and the two girls continued singing and dancing, having a great time.

Gu Qingyao sat in her seat, watching Chen Mo's performance while texting her father.

"Dad, it's confirmed. Chen Mo is a master at gambling on stones. He won two million by spending less than 30,000 tonight. His skills are better than anyone else in Shengheng's team."

"For this public auction, I plan to cooperate with him. He will provide the technology, we will provide the capital, and he will receive 30% of the profits. So, I'm going to fight Qin Tianping to the bitter end."

A while later, her father replied to the message.

"Qingyao, are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain."

"In that case, he is our only savior, Qingyao. Whether for Shengheng or for your future, he is the best choice."

"Dad, I know what to do."

She put down her phone and waved to the waiter.

"A few more drinks, the kind that get you drunk easily."

The waiter quickly brought over several brightly colored cocktails.

Gu Qingyao picked up a glass and downed it in one gulp.

He picked up another cup.

Chen Mo came down from the stage and sat down next to her.

Why are you drinking so fast?

"Happy."

Gu Qingyao drank another cup.

Her face began to flush, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused.

"This wine is a bit strong. Could you... take me back to my hotel?"

Chen Mo checked the time; it was about time.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Mo greeted Yu Linglong and Luo Na, then escorted Gu Qingyao back.

She took a taxi and quickly returned to her hotel.
