Holding the bank card, Shen Ye suddenly wasn't in a hurry anymore. She walked into the store, and the selected young lady quickly followed her in.
The on - lookers also wanted to go in and take a look, but the store door had already been closed, so they couldn't get in at all.
Some rich women who were still on the way were extremely depressed when they realized they had missed out and someone had beaten them to it with a million yuan.
The real socialites weren't willing to give up so easily. They quickly found out the contact information and called directly.
At this time, Shen Ye and her group were still in the jade gambling store. Watching the funds that were supposed to be used to support children in poor mountainous areas being swiped away by Shen Ye, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't show any reaction. She just stared blankly at Shen Ye.
"Um... don't worry. I'll fulfill the promise of funding for the poor children," Shen Ye said subconsciously, feeling a bit guilty under Ling Xiaoxiao's gaze.
She had really been so angry just now that she hadn't considered the consequences of her actions. Her agent would probably be furious if they found out.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. There's no limit on the card. You can use it as you like. As long as you're happy," Ling Xiaoxiao didn't really care about what Shen Ye said. In her eyes, nothing Shen Ye said mattered. What mattered was that she could see Shen Ye up close.
Money was never a problem for her.
Shen Nanyi beside them was completely confused. She thought she was already quite a big spender, but she didn't expect this girl to be no less so. Spending millions just to take a look at her idol?
"..." Shen Ye thought she still needed to explain, but looking at Ling Xiaoxiao's beaming face, she really didn't know how to start, so she simply said nothing.
The little fan Ling Xiaoxiao stared at Shen Ye without moving, with stars in her eyes, as if she could never get enough of looking.
Even though Shen Ye had faced countless cameras, she still felt a bit embarrassed in this situation. The girl's gaze was so pure, without a single bit of impurity.
Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to keep looking for a while longer, but suddenly her phone started ringing like crazy. Without even looking, Ling Xiaoxiao hung up directly.
What could be more important than looking at her idol?
After hanging up one call, it didn't stay quiet for long. Her phone rang again and showed no sign of stopping. In order to stay with her idol, Ling Xiaoxiao simply turned off her phone. Finally, the world became quiet.
Shen Nanyi wanted to watch the fun for a while longer, but the system's announcement of the mission failure instantly soured her mood: "Mission failed. The host will receive a punishment. A fixed - point consumption mission is activated. The host must bring a peer along. The consumption amount of the two must be the same. If the mission is successful, the system tasks will continue. If it fails, the host has no chance."
The system didn't say much, but the tasks were far from easy. For a moment, Shen Nanyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
She was happy that she still had a chance, but sad that this mission was even more difficult than the previous one.
"About how much is the consumption amount?" With a glimmer of hope, Shen Nanyi thought maybe the system would give her a break.
After all, it should be quite difficult to find someone as prodigal as herself.
"Not much, tens of millions," the system said casually. Judging from its tone, one would think it was talking about just a few yuan. Where on earth could she find such a little rich woman?!
And the most important thing was that her peers at this time should be in school.
Who knew where the system's fixed - point mission would send her?
"The first location is Singapore. The specific location will be announced after the host arrives in Singapore. The host has 48 hours to reach Singapore. Please arrange your time reasonably," the system's voice sounded again. Hearing this, Shen Nanyi's heart sank.
She had to go to another country in just two days. And the most important thing was that she was still in school. Was the system really making things difficult for her?
"The stone is yours. Do you want to cut it here or take it back?" A voice sounded, finally pulling Shen Nanyi out of her thoughts.
Turning her head, Shen Nanyi saw the beautiful shop owner, smiling at her. In her hand was the stone Shen Nanyi had chosen before.
Since it was just a randomly chosen stone, Shen Nanyi didn't have much hope for it. She nodded, indicating that she wanted to open it here.
As soon as they heard that the stone was going to be opened, most of the people in the store gathered around and automatically formed a circle.
Seeing their reactions, Shen Ye felt offended. These people hadn't shown much reaction when they saw her just now, but as soon as they heard that a broken stone was going to be opened, they all came over. Was she really not as good - looking as a broken stone?
As soon as Shen Nanyi spoke, a professional master came over with tools and gently placed the rough stone Shen Nanyi had chosen on the table.
People in the know could tell at a glance that the rough stone Shen Nanyi had chosen was a relatively common Huika in the rough stone category. Its shell was multicolored, mainly gray - green and gray - black. Its transparency varied, and the quality of the water and bottom was unevenly distributed. But where there was green, the water was usually better. The size of the stones varied greatly. The large ones could weigh hundreds of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms, while the one Shen Nanyi had chosen wasn't very big, probably only about a thousand grams.
Under everyone's gazes, the master first polished the edge of the rough stone with tools. After polishing, a corner of the gray - black rough stone revealed a lush green.
There was an exclamation from the crowd. The little girl had randomly chosen a stone, and it had actually turned out to have green in it? And the area seemed quite large.
"I'll take this stone for 1.5 million yuan. Are you selling?" Some people in the crowd couldn't hold back and wanted to buy the stone from Shen Nanyi.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the stone had risen by a third, an astonishingly fast increase.
Originally, Shen Nanyi didn't have much confidence and thought that spending one million yuan was a bit of a waste. As soon as she heard that someone was willing to take it, she quickly nodded and agreed.
The card was swiped and the money was transferred in one go. Shen Nanyi's stone was sold. Looking at the balance on her card, Shen Nanyi felt for the first time that making money was so easy.
"Keep cutting!" The buyer who had bought the stone gritted his teeth and quickly said, staring intently at the stone in front of him.
If there was something inside, his money wouldn't be wasted! With good luck, he might even turn things around.
The stone - cutting master had seen this kind of situation many times. His eyes didn't even change, and his hands were incredibly steady. Then he made another cut, and the green still hadn't disappeared. Moreover, the area with green was even larger than before.
"With such a large area, even if it's a bit thin, it won't be a big loss."
"As long as it's thick enough, this will be a profitable deal."
"I should have made a move just now if I had known this."
Among the people in the store, except for a few new faces who were just there for fun, most of them were old - timers. They knew as much about jade gambling as some professionals and didn't hold back when they spoke.
Hearing these words, the boss who had made the purchase first finally relaxed a bit, but he was still a bit nervous.
In the jade - gambling business, a tiny difference could lead to a huge gap. One cut could make you extremely rich, or it could bankrupt you.
As everyone was discussing, the master made another cut, and the green suddenly disappeared. Some broken gravel appeared.
Heaven and hell were just a line apart. The man staggered and almost fell.
Even so, he didn't say anything. Jade gambling relied on one's eyesight. Once the decision was made, there was no going back. He could only blame his poor eyesight. Fortunately, this time the loss wasn't too much and was within his tolerance.
"Buy the pile of scraps in the corner!" The system, which had been calm all along, suddenly got a bit excited and told Shen Nanyi a location.
Shen Nanyi had great trust in the system's sensitivity to money. She directly bought all the scraps in the corner. The total price was 500,000 yuan, and she got a pile of stones.
The so - called scraps were all stones that had been cut or ones that had been unsold for a long time and were considered money - losing stones. The probability of finding something in them wasn't high, and many people weren't optimistic about Shen Nanyi's move.
Fortunately, everyone's gazes didn't stay on Shen Nanyi for long. They were all attracted by Ling Xiaoxiao who came later. It was the first time they had seen someone buy rough stones like this...
