“Master, hurry up, hurry up!” Wang Haoran urged the stone-cutting master.

“Alright… alright.” The master nodded, his hands trembling slightly.

Although he was an experienced master, it was his first time cutting such an expensive raw stone, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.

A few minutes later, a cut surface of the raw stone was revealed. There was not a hint of jade color on the surface. This was not a good sign; the raw stone might be worthless.

The onlookers around glanced at Wang Haoran with some sympathy.

Why not just take the 2.9 million profit? Instead, he insisted on risking it all and even adding an extra 100,000.

“Haoran, even if it’s worthless, Aunt Tang won’t let you lose money. I’ll cover that 100,000 for you,” Tang Bingyun said, comforting him with the generosity of an elder.

“Is it worthless? That’s great! If I lose, then Aunt Tang won’t lose,” Wang Haoran said, not showing any sign of distress, and even seemed quite happy.

He was about to make a huge profit, so how could he not be happy?

Tang Bingyun, of course, didn’t know Wang Haoran’s true thoughts and believed him completely when she heard what he said.

Because Wang Haoran’s smile seemed so genuine, it couldn’t possibly be fake. Tang Bingyun’s usually indifferent heart felt a warmth rising.

Today was the first time she met this young man, and he was already so kind to her.

She never expected that Sister Zhen Li would have such a sincere and outstanding son.

…

“Haoran, I heard from Sister Zhen Li that you study at Shuizhe High School. Your aunt is a director of Shuizhe Education Group. If anyone bullies you at school, tell me, and I’ll stand up for you,” Tang Bingyun said earnestly to Wang Haoran.

“Thank you, Miss Tang,” Wang Haoran replied with a sunny smile.

“It’s Aunt Tang,” Tang Bingyun corrected.

“Right, right, thank you, Aunt Tang,” Wang Haoran nodded with a smile.

But inside, he felt incredibly awkward.

Tang Bingyun was only four or five years older than him, yet she wanted him to call her aunt. Didn’t she feel embarrassed?

But there was nothing he could do about it. Her seniority was high, and he couldn’t afford to offend her for now.

The stone-cutting master adjusted his position and continued cutting the raw stone.

A few minutes later, the atmosphere at the scene was like a pot boiling over.

“This… this is Imperial Green Glass Type!” the stone-cutting master exclaimed.

He had been in this line of work for over forty years and had only encountered Imperial Green Glass Type once before in his career. He never expected to come across it again today.

The master worked steadily, and soon the full appearance of the raw stone was revealed.

Judging by the size of the jade, this piece was at least twice as large as the one he had previously cut.

“This piece of Imperial Green Glass Type should be worth over 60 million!” Tang Bingyun said, feeling a tinge of regret in her heart.

She had bought this raw stone for 3 million.

If Wang Haoran hadn’t cut it, she would have made a huge profit.

However, after having this thought, Tang Bingyun immediately blamed herself.

She had just witnessed Wang Haoran’s reaction when he thought the raw stone might be worthless. He didn’t blame anyone and even felt he was helping her bear the loss.

Now that he had cut out such a valuable jade, she should be happy for him.

After a brief internal struggle, Tang Bingyun congratulated Wang Haoran.

The other people around were filled with envy and jealousy.

This young master of the Wang family was not only born into a good family but also had such incredible luck in gambling!

In such a short time, he had made over 60 million!

…

“Did I win again?!” Wang Haoran jumped up in excitement and then said eagerly, “It seems my luck is too good. I want to keep playing, I want to keep playing!”

“As the saying goes, ‘the longer you gamble, the more you lose.’ Luck is limited. You’ve already won twice in a row. If you keep going, you might lose a lot back,” Tang Bingyun advised.

“If that’s the case, then that’s great. It would mean reducing Aunt Tang’s losses.”

After saying this, Wang Haoran couldn’t wait to go and select more raw stones.

This time, he didn’t choose just one but picked over thirty raw stones in one go.

“You’re picking too many. The total price of these raw stones is almost over 30 million. You might lose a lot,” Tang Bingyun said.

“Let it be. I’m happy to make up for Aunt Tang’s losses.”

Are you kidding? If I don’t open all the profitable ones, should I leave them for Chu Bai?

Am I stupid?

There was only one stone-cutting master in the tent, and the process was too slow.

Tang Bingyun asked her assistant to call a few more stone-cutting masters from the factory.

Eight stone-cutting masters started their machines and simultaneously worked on cutting the raw stones Wang Haoran had selected.

The entire tent was filled with the buzzing sound of machines.

A few minutes later, exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

Out of the eight masters, seven had produced valuable jade.

Wang Haoran had won again.

This luck was simply too incredible.

The people around were so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

In fact, this was because Wang Haoran was being modest. Among the dozens of raw stones he selected, he deliberately included a small portion of worthless ones.

Otherwise, Wang Haoran could have maintained an almost 100% win rate.

The stone-cutting masters continued their work, and after dozens of minutes, all the raw stones Wang Haoran had selected were opened.

Everyone summarized Wang Haoran’s “achievements.”

Wang Haoran had selected a total of 39 raw stones, of which 33 were profitable.

The value of the jade stones, after discussion between Tang Bingyun and some jade appraisers from the factory, totaled 123.6 million.

In just over an hour, he had made 123.6 million!

Tang Bingyun’s friends were all green with envy.

“Haoran, congratulations!” Tang Bingyun was genuinely happy for Wang Haoran.

Although Wang Haoran had made a fortune, Tang Bingyun wouldn’t actually lose out.

These jade stones, after initial polishing at the factory, would be made into various jade jewelry and sold.

By then, the prices would multiply.

In other words, the jade stones worth 123.6 million would eventually turn into several hundred million.

Especially the large piece of Imperial Green Glass Type, which would be highly sought after by wealthy individuals.

There was no issue of not being able to sell it.

Tang Bingyun would profit no matter what, it was just a matter of how much.

“These raw stones were all procured by you, Aunt Tang, and were carefully selected. I know nothing about gambling on stones; it’s all thanks to your good fortune,” Wang Haoran said.

Hearing this, Tang Bingyun found Wang Haoran more and more pleasing to the eye.

The raw stones were indeed carefully selected, but some that Tang Bingyun thought had a high probability of yielding jade had already been picked out by her.

However, the remaining raw stones still had a higher yield rate compared to those in gambling stone markets.

Tang Bingyun’s friends might not have realized this and even thought Tang Bingyun wanted to profit from them, making them fill the gap.

Wang Haoran’s words hit the nail on the head for Tang Bingyun.

How could she not be happy?

“Haoran, sell all these jade stones to me. Aunt Tang will definitely give you a fair price.”

These jade stones were opened in her factory, so they should be sold to her. However, Tang Bingyun still wanted to respect Wang Haoran’s opinion.

“All these jade stones will be sold to Aunt Tang at a discount. Whatever price you say is fine,” Wang Haoran said nonchalantly.

Tang Bingyun took a deep breath. She really regretted not having a beautiful niece around 18 years old. Otherwise, she would definitely introduce her to Wang Haoran.

Such a wonderful young man, there probably aren’t many like him in the world, are there?
