Of course, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t just making wild guesses.
Huang Xiaolong had two ways to bring Cui Feiyan to the banquet.
The first one is simple; give an Invisibility Talisman to each person and they could walk in grandly.
The second method is to ask others for an invitation.
Brother Zhao Qi, Chairman Qiu, Chief Xu, Sister Jing… and also Sun Wei!
Especially Sun Wei, she probably has plenty of invitations in her hands!
After all, among Binhai’s four greatest families, the Sun Family ranked higher than the Shu Family!
To put it bluntly, in this world of big fish eating small fish, the Shu Family probably had to, and dared not to, give face to the Sun family!
“Hahahaha ” Shu Jie burst into loud laughter so much so that he was short of breath. “You? Just you? Hahahahaha This is too funny, really too funny. Do you know who have been invited to the banquet? You? I reckon you’re from a village… Hahahaha ”
“Yes, I come from a village. So what? Are you looking down on us villagers?” Huang Xiaolong retorted in slight anger.
“Feiyan, how could you associate with such a person? Someone of such a low class is even worse than the lowest in society, like an earthworm in the mud! Plus, it seems like he’s mentally deficient!” Shu Jie’s words were sharp and piercing. “Hey, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, what are you pretending to be? Think just because you come to the city you are a city person and can talk nonsense… One must have self-awareness. Saying things that should not be said, will bring trouble!”
“Shu Jie, your words are really mean!” Cui Feiyan was very upset.
She knew for sure that Huang Xiaolong was not an ordinary little countryman. His capabilities were even greater than the so-called ‘Binhai’s Four Young Masters’!
Besides, listening to Shu Jie’s vulgar insults to Huang Xiaolong, Cui Feiyan felt extremely uncomfortable.
Even Boss Miao, who was standing on one side, frowned slightly. “Shu Jie’s words are too crude and inappropriate”, he thought.
“I don’t want to quarrel with you. How about we make a bet?” Huang Xiaolong smiled lightly. “If tonight, I can take Feiyan to the banquet that you claimed only top-rate people could attend, then you have to apologize to me publicly.”
“Pfff Hahahaha Ok! Little peasant, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give you a chance. I’ll take this bet! If you manage to get in, I’ll apologize to you. But… if you’re bragging here, I will have someone mess you up!” Shu Jie glared fiercely at Huang Xiaolong. “And I’m warning you, from now on, you better stay away from Feiyan. You’re a country bumpkin, don’t dream of having a taste of swan meat!”
“Feiyan, have you thought about what I told you? If you become my, Shu Jie’s woman, not only will it benefit you, but also your company…” Shu Jie arrogantly looked at Cui Feiyan, as if he was granting a favor.
“Enough, Shu Jie, no need to say more.” Cui Feiyan shook her head with disgust. “I won’t consider even a single word of what you said.”
“Fine! Cui Feiyan! Good job! You dare to defy me? Hmph! You will regret this in the future! I swear!” An aura of brutality appeared on Shu Jie’s face, and then he turned around and left.
‘Damn it, Cui Feiyan! You bitch! You don’t know how to appreciate a favor! Fine! I’ll find a way to make you kneel before me, begging like a bitch!’
By this time, a crowd had already gathered on one side of the square, chattering excitedly.
“Feiyan, let’s go over and take a look.” Huang Xiaolong didn’t put the matter of attending the dinner in his mind. He knew that he could definitely take Cui Feiyan to it.
This is such a trivial matter, and yet Shu Jie thinks it’s something big and even uses it to threaten Cui Feiyan. Huang Xiaolong finds it amusing just thinking about it.
“Sure.” Cui Feiyan didn’t say more, and went along with Huang Xiaolong.
Following them, Boss Miao also came along.
Turns out that Shu Jie had successfully auctioned off this batch of rough stones.
This is a very large rough stone in excellent condition, crystal clear. Shu Jie spent a full 70 million to get his hands on it.
This couldn’t help but make the spectators marvel at Shu Jie’s extravagance.
Of course, as a major figure in Binhai’s jade industry, he wouldn’t have dared to spend so much unless he was sure to make a profit.
“Mr. Shu, could you say something about this stone?” Some of the jewelers asked, trying to curry favor.
“Hehehe ” Shu Jie chuckled proudly. “Since everyone wants to learn from my experience, I won’t mind sharing a few points.”
As he spoke, the scene fell silent. Everyone pricked up their ears, listening to Shu Jie speak.
“As you can see, the condition of this rough stone is very good, with a green eggshell, natural form, exudes spiritual energy, has an antique allure, crystal clear and has clear patterns. Look closely, under the sunlight, this rough stone emits a kind of hazy lustre… I assume everyone here in the industry isn’t ignorant. With this kind of green rough stone, the probability of having a green gemstone is extremely high. With my years of experience and my talent in jade industry, the probability of having ‘Imperial Jade’ in this rough stone is quite large! Rarity makes it precious, Imperial Jade in jadeite has the best color, and highest value. It is also called ’emerald green,’ it is very rare and even more so in the current market. This rough stone cost me 70 million, but I believe that after my own carving and polishing, a masterpiece will definitely get produced. I dare to say, the resulting jewelry would fetch an astronomical price in Binhai’s jewelry market! Bringing billions of profits to my Shu Family’s jewelry business is not impossible at all!”
The professional and authoritative tone of Shu Jie’s speech gave an impression of mastery, making the jewelers around praising him endlessly?
“I agree with Mr. Shu’s statement, this rough stone is definitely a worthwhile gamble!”
“A 100% chance of turning green, can Shu’s words be wrong?”
“This is a top grade rough stone! Look at that color, it’s all natural. Ah… I also wanted this rough stone, but unfortunately, I can’t afford it.”
“By looking at the eggshell lines, it seems likely that it will produce Imperial Jade.”
“Shu Jie is really a remarkable man! Among the younger generation of the Shu family, Shu Jie is definitely the top-quality person! His vision is so sharp, able to easily bring billions of wealth to the family…”
“This…even though I don’t understand, but this stone, it looks pretty and seems to contain some kind of spiritual energy. It seems like Shu Jie has hit the jackpot.” Cui Feiyan said softly.
If a rough stone could bring Shu Jie billions in profit, Cui Feiyan was quite touched.
She knew that when her company negotiated a relatively large contract, the total amount was only in the billions, but it didn’t mean that it was all pure profit.
It seems that stone gambling really makes money quickly.
“Hehehehe ” Huang Xiaolong chuckled a few times and mouthed a ‘perspective spell’.
