Chapter 40 Stone Gambling Assembly

Mo Changfeng was a veteran of the country who had made countless contributions to the nation. Shangguan Mo also respected him very much.

Several authoritative medical experts at home and abroad were arranged to rush over at the moment when Shangguan Mo heard the news. To his surprise, before the experts arrived, his subordinates gave him a shocking message that Mo Changfeng, who had been diagnosed to be a vegetative person, was actually cured by Murong Xue!

He asked again and again before finally believing that it was the truth!

On the weekend, Murong Xue remembered the stone gambling assembly in Province A that her father had mentioned to her a few days ago. Her father gave the invitation letters that belonged to the renowned families to her. The stone gambling assembly happened to be held today.

Recently, Murong Xue didn’t know what Mo Ziwen was up to. He would only hurry over when she was about to go out. At other times, she never saw him. Was Mo Ziwen busy with other things? Did her request of asking him to be her bodyguard really wrong him? She needed to ask him about it when she had free time.

The stone gambling assembly in Province A was jointly organized by the Fang family, the Yang Family, and the Lin Family in the jade industry.

The stone gambling assembly was held in a suburban manor. It occupied the land of more than 5,000 square meters. The people who could get the invitation letter were either the rich or people from the renowned family. No entry was allowed for small raw material dealers or ordinary people. The security and confidentiality were well guaranteed.

The raw materials that could be used for the stone gambling assembly were certainly not bad. One could easily imagine how much good stuff there was.

Murong Xue thought for a while and made a phone call to tell Mo Ziwen that he wouldn't need to escort her today. Since Gu Ming was in charge of the jade, she would just attend the assembly with Gu Ming.

At first, Mo Ziwen firmly disagreed. The hijacking last time made him still blame himself till now. However, the instructions on the invitation letter said that the invited guest was only allowed to bring one person. Therefore, Mo Ziwen was only persuaded after Murong Xue had promised several times that the stone gambling assembly was safe.

Along the way, Gu Ming took the opportunity to report the state of operation of Rise Group to Murong Xue, “Xue, the company is basically on track. Baoyu Pavilion has received quite good responses. After the jadeite was cut out of the raw material you bought last time, the first-class jadeite has been sold for five layers. It just so happens that you can purchase more on this stone gambling assembly. The dividend was credited to your account yesterday. We made a profit of nearly 600 million last month, leaving 200 million as the company’s turnover."

Finally, the company started to get on the right track. After hearing good news early in the morning, Murong Xue was in a great mood, "Okay, thanks for your hard work, Gu Ming. By the way, how is Luo Shengfei at the company?"

Speaking of Luo Shengfei, when Gu Ming first saw him come over with the letter of appointment, Gu Ming thought that Luo Shengfei was a liar because he was too young and the position on the letter of appointment was actually the general manager, which was only second to Gu Ming’s position. However, Gu Ming found it true when he called Murong Xue to verify. "I haven't seen any movement from him so far."

"Nothing! What do you mean?"

Gu Ming explained as he drove, "He has been reading the company's information these days. He also inspected various departments and checked the quality of the jade in Baoyu Pavilion. Then he just writes, draws, and drafts in his office. He had already thrown away a pile of drafts..."

Murong Xue thought for a while. She had never doubted Luo Shengfei's ability. She didn't want to interfere with Luo Shengfei's action, just letting him develop freely, "Gu Ming, you don't need to care about Luo Shengfei's work. If he proposes any change plan, you can approve it. If possible, cooperate with him."

Gu Ming shook his hand and almost turned the car away, "Xue, he is only 17 years old! He is not at the age of working. Xue, aren’t you afraid of him messing up?"

Murong Xue smiled. How could she worry about him being messed up? The last life when Luo Shengfei had been at the same age as he was now, his name began to rise. Thinking of his style in the last life, she wanted to laugh. Every time everyone said that he was doing nonsense, but the follow-up results slapped those people who doubted him over and over again.

"Gu Ming, you just need to believe me. I choose him because he is unique. Even if the company has problems, I will do my best to shoulder the responsibility."

Gu Ming pondered for a while, and it took a long time before he agreed, "Okay."

An hour later, the two finally arrived at the manor of the stone gambling assembly. After showing the invitation letter, they went in. The arrival of the two did not arouse everyone's attention. Some people knew Gu Ming. But since all of the people here were of the same trade and competed with each other, they just greeted him lightly.

Except for Murong Xue's beautiful face that had attracted several people, no one would regard her as a stone gambler.

While everyone was discussing with others and carefully observing the raw material, Murong Xue suddenly saw a red and golden glow in the pile of raw materials on the far left, which was extremely gorgeous. Murong Xue was so excited. There must be a piece of top-quality jade there. But she still needed to go there and have a check to determine which kind of jade it was.

But her perspective function had actually improved again. The more she used it, the easier it would be for her to see through objects. Now when she looked at the venue, she found that many places were shining. It was worthy of attending the stone gambling assembly. All the raw materials here were of top quality.

Murong Xue suppressed the excitement in her heart. She didn't plan to see the raw materials now. Although there weren’t so many people paying attention to her, it would be better for her to hide her perspective function. So she planned to look at other raw materials first. She didn't worry that others would buy that piece of stone because the stone gambling assembly was different from ordinary raw material purchasing points. It required bidding. No one knew the price of the bid. The price would only be disclosed when the bid was opened. The one who offered the highest price could purchase the bid.

The two of them wrote down the numbers of the raw materials that they would like to buy when they were observing the raw materials so that they could bid at the time.

After a while, Murong Xue discovered Fang Shihua. There was a girl beside him who was actually the daughter of the Zhang Family.

Murong Xue sneered. As expected, Fang Shihua had found another goal when he couldn't take any advantage of her. Previously, Fang Shihua always looked for opportunities to date her. However, she didn't want to talk to him at all. In her last life, she regarded herself as blind and stupid to trust Fang Shihua and she suffered the consequence. In this life, she didn't want to have any connection with him at all.

Seeing the daughter of the Zhang Family who was standing next to Fang Shihua smiled with happiness, Murong Xue began to be in a daze. Did she laugh so stupidly beside him in her last life? What was she thinking at that time? It seemed that she had been constantly thanking God for letting her meet Fang Shihua, thinking that he was her true love. And the feeling of falling from heaven to hell was still clear now...

Suddenly, someone drew Murong Xue over. She was taken aback. Raising her head, she saw a pair of eyes filled with anger.

It was Shangguan Mo. Why it was him again?!

Murong Xue's heart was full of embarrassment.

A few days ago, Shangguan Mo had received an invitation letter from the stone gambling assembly. He needed to collect the imperial jade, so he came to take a look today. When he saw Murong Xue by accident, he wanted to say hello to her in amazement. However, he found that she was staring at a man desperately, failing to return to her senses for a long time. The ever-changing emotions in Murong Xue’s eyes made him feel shocked when he saw it. The relationship between Murong Xue and the man was definitely beyond ordinary friends.

Looking at the man, Shangguan Mo found there was a smiling woman standing next to him. Countless speculations suddenly flashed in Shangguan Mo’s mind. Finally, he decided that Murong Xue liked the man, but the man had another lover.

No matter what Shangguan Mo thought, he couldn't hold back the burning anger with jealousy at this time. Before he calmed down, he had pulled Murong Xue away from the sight of the man's position.

"Mr. Shangguan, may I ask what's the matter?" Murong Xue was very worried in her heart. Why was Shangguan Mo always so angry every time he saw her? She really didn't know when she had offended this man. She was complaining in her mind.

"Call me Mo, or Shangguan!"

"What?"

Shangguan Mo stared at Murong Xue fiercely. It seemed that he would kidnap her if she didn't call him as he wanted.

Being stared at by Shangguan Mo, Murong Xue felt her legs trembling. Shangguan Mo’s eyes were really scary. Could he look at the other side? But she still gave in and called him, "Big Brother Shangguan..." She really couldn’t call him “Mo” or “Shangguan” as he wanted.

Finally, Shangguan Mo’s face looked better. He touched her head, "Good girl!"

Good girl? She was not a puppy... Oh! She wanted to go home! There was a monster here...

Murong Xue looked around, looking for Gu Ming. She didn't want to face Shangguan Mo alone! The venue was a bit big. She couldn't find Gu Ming at this moment.

Not long after Murong Xue and Gu Ming came in, they separated. The main reason was that Murong Xue didn't want to attract so much attention. After talking to Gu Ming, she went shopping by herself. She had never expected to meet Shangguan Mo here.

"Big Brother Shangguan, are you also coming to see the raw materials?" Seeing Shangguan Mo's face looked better for unknown reasons, Murong Xue quickly changed the topic.

"Well, I want to see if there is the imperial jade!" Shangguan Mo replied calmly. But one of his hands was still holding her hand and didn't let her go.

"Then... I'll go over there first. I won't disturb you..." After Murong Xue finished speaking, she wanted to shake off Shangguan Mo's big hand but couldn't shake it off.

Shangguan Mo didn’t care about her struggle, "We will observe it together! Or do you look down upon me?" The long and narrow eyes of Shangguan Mo looked so cold.

Sh*t! Who dared to look down upon him, the Prince in the capital of the country? The words were really heartbreaking. Murong Xue immediately put on a flattering smile, "How come? Big Brother Shangguan, it's my honor to be with you."

Shangguan Mo loved to hear these words. He nodded with satisfaction and said proudly, "It's good that you know it. I don't look down upon you! Let's go!"

Half an hour later, the stone gambling assembly officially opened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's stone gambling assembly. I am the host today..."

After the long and uninspiring opening remarks, a group of waiters walked out of the manor. Each waiter had a designated VIP to serve.

In front of Shangguan Mo and Murong Xue were two generous-looking men. They were about 30 years old, looking not arrogant or impetuous and offering good service.

On the way, Murong Xue had picked a lot of raw materials, wrote down the numbers, and the price she bid for.

Shangguan Mo on her side also picked a lot of raw materials. Murong Xue took a look, finding that she could win the bid about 80% of them. She had a new level of understanding of Shangguan Mo. She cheated by her perspective function while Shangguan Mo relied entirely on his normal eyesight and knowledge. This powerful man was born to combat other talents. Murong Xue muttered in her heart hundreds of times.

Shangguan Mo had been paying attention to Murong Xue. In fact, even he himself didn't know why he liked Murong Xue. He had only met her a few times. He was not an impulsive person. And it was because of this that he was curious. Observing Murong Xue along the way, Shangguan Mo found that she basically wrote down the numbers without checking the raw materials carefully. Didn’t she care about the money?

Her occasional daze, resentment, and pouting were all so cute to him.

Murong Xue was completely immersed in the raw materials, paying no attention to Shangguan Mo's gaze.

Suddenly, she saw the color of green, which was noble and elegant like an emperor. My God! She found the imperial green again!

Ha-ha! God really loved her!

Murong Xue carefully searched for the green raw material. Murong Xue didn't dare to look too fast, because she was afraid that her strangeness would cause others to guess. So she simply squatted down and looked slowly at the stones one by one.

In the eyes of onlookers, there was merely a little girl who was learning to pick raw materials. Why would they think she was learning? Mainly because Murong Xue was too young. No one would really think that she was a master of stone gambling.

However, Shangguan Mo was different. He immediately noticed something was wrong with Murong Xue. Just now she was picking casually, but now she seemed to be deliberately pretending to be serious. Why?

Shangguan Mo also carefully observed the raw materials in front of him. Although he didn't want to believe it, he felt that Murong Xue seemed to have many secrets.

He had investigated her, but he felt that her image in the investigation was very different from her in reality. Not only did she know medicine and stone gambling, but she also offered the imperial green he bought last time. He didn't believe she picked the jade by mere luck. And her obvious change just now made him think that Murong Xue knew the situation in the raw materials.

Fortunately, Murong Xue was not his opponent because he actually saw a different temperament in Murong Xue. He felt that this woman's brilliance would be immeasurable in the future...

After Murong Xue checked more than a dozen pieces of raw materials, she finally found the piece of raw material containing the imperial green. Murong Xue couldn't help but smile in a very good mood. After recording the raw material containing the imperial green, she wrote down a high price, but she didn't dare to increase it too much. So she increased the price only a little bit compared to the normal bidding price. If the price she offered was too high, it would be more noticeable.

Murong Xue, who looked up after writing the number, was surprised to see a pair of inquiring eyes unexpectedly.

Shangguan Mo made no secret of his guess about her, "Xue, you seem to have a lot of secrets!"

Shangguan Mo's seemingly insightful eyes made her heart beat fiercely! D*mn it! His eyes were just like X-ray scanners! So sharp! Could she still get along with him happily? Forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, Murong Xue pretended to be calm and forced a smile, "Big Brother Shangguan, I... How can I have any secret?"

"I will know if you have any secret. I will dig it out bit by bit. Don't be grateful to me!" Shangguan Mo said by her ear.
