Chapter 42 - 42 More Than You Know

42 More Than You Know

“Young Master Luo, since you’re not selling the Old Man Jade, how much are you planning to sell those two pieces of pure jade for?”

After everyone finished with their bootlicking, someone set their sights on the two pieces of Ice-type Jade.

Luo Chen said, “100 million per piece isn’t too much, right?”

If he said this price before the Old Man Jade came out, someone would definitely say that Luo Chen was crazy.

But it was different now. As long as they bought the jade and carved it properly, they would definitely make a huge profit by leveraging the reputation of the Old Man Jade!

Therefore, not only was this price not too much, it was even very fair.

As soon as the price was announced, a few jewelry merchants immediately joined forces to buy an ice-type jade.

Xu Yuan attacked again. “Kid, I’ll take the remaining piece of jade!”

In less than ten minutes, 200 million yuan appeared on Luo Chen’s card.

After buying the jade, he had to go back and contact his associates.

Before he left, he told Luo Chen to look for him at the Xu family whenever he needed help. He even left his phone number.

“Boss Hu, give me two pieces of raw stone!”

“I want 10 pieces! Cut it quickly!”

“How is 10 enough? Give me 20 stones!”

The remaining people who did not manage to buy the jade all fought to buy the raw stones instead.

These people also hoped that they could pick out a few pieces of stone with good jade just like Luo Chen!

Hu Cheng was naturally extremely happy about this. His income alone was as high as 60 million that day.

After a while, the official personnel of the Guinness Book of World Records arrived.

They measured the various data of the ice-type jade. Without exception, each parameter exceeded the previous record in the Guinness Book of World Records.

A staff member walked up to Luo Chen and said, “Hello, this medal is a reward from the Guinness Book of World Records. When we return, we’ll upload the data. At that time, you’ll be able to see the latest data on the official website.”

With that, the staff handed Luo Chen a blue tag with the words “World’s No.1 Jade” engraved on it.

Luo Chen put away the tag and nodded. “Alright, thank you for coming over.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No problem. We’ll leave first.”

The two staff left after saying that.

Then, Luo Chen took out his phone and got someone to drive a small truck over to send the Old Man Jade back to the manor.

After everything was arranged, Luo Chen looked at Ye Bei and the others.

“We’ve gained a lot today. Do you want to go for a meal to celebrate?”

At this moment, Ye Bei’s eyes were lifeless, and he didn’t hear what Luo Chen said at all.

He felt physically and mentally exhausted.

200 million… Previously, he had said like a fool that he would definitely lose money for Luo Chen.

This contrast made him doubt his life.

He even felt that this was all there was to life. It was meaningless…

“Ye Bei? I’m talking to you!”

Seeing that Ye Bei didn’t answer, Luo Chen waved his hand in front of him.

After Ye Bei regained his senses, he said weakly, “No, Boss. After shopping for half a day, I feel a little tired. Can I take half a day off and go back to rest?”

“Alright.” Luo Chen turned to look at Zhao Ruoshuang. “What about you?”

Zhao Ruoshuang also felt a little tired. “My mood has been fluctuating today. I’ll be listless when I eat. Why don’t we go for the meal next time?”

Seeing this, Luo Chen didn’t insist. “Alright, Ye Bei, drive. Go back and rest. Let’s meet again another day.”

…

In an old-fashioned neighborhood.

Lin Tian was humming a song in his room, feeling incomparably comfortable.

Previously, Ye Bei had already told him about going stone gambling with Luo Chen.

Lin Tian believed that with Ye Bei’s foresight, he would definitely be able to make Luo Chen lose all his capital.

“B*stard, I’ve finally let you suffer for once.”

The more Lin Tian thought about it, the happier he felt.

However, he did not know that not only did Luo Chen not suffer a loss, he had even earned nearly 300 million!

At this moment, Lin Tianyi wanted to tell Shen Shuyi about this so that the other party would think that Luo Chen was just a good-for-nothing rich second-generation heir who liked to gamble. He wanted her to stay away from such people in the future.

However, when he tried to call Ye Bei or send him messages, he realized that without a doubt, he had been blocked.

“F*ck! This b*stard actually dares to block me!”

Lin Tian was furious.

However, he really did not want to miss this opportunity today. He could only change into a baseball uniform and head to Shen Shuyi’s company.

When he arrived at the entrance of the company, the security guards stopped him mercilessly.

In order to protect his image, Lin Tian did not fight with these security guards.

Moreover, he knew that Shen Shuyi would go to the cafe near the company for coffee every afternoon. He only needed to wait.

...

As expected, an hour or so later, Shen Shuyi walked out of the company.

Seeing this, Lin Tian hurriedly walked over. “Shuyi! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you? You’ve been dismissed! Don’t come looking for me again!”

After what happened last time, Shen Shuyi hated Lin Tian very much.

There was no reason for her to keep such a lunatic by her side.

Lin Tian looked a little embarrassed, but he still said, “Do you want to go for a cup of coffee? I have a joke for you. It’s about Luo Chen.”

Worried that Shen Shuyi would leave directly, Lin Tian specially mentioned Luo Chen.

As expected, Shen Shuyi frowned slightly. “About Luo Chen? What right do you have to laugh at him?”

In Shen Shuyi’s heart, Luo Chen and Lin Tian were completely different.

Lin Tian sneered. “The general content of the joke is that a useless second-generation heir gambled and lost everything in the end. If you want to know more about Luo Chen, let’s go for a drink together.”

“You’re thinking too much. I know Luo Chen better than you do. It’s impossible for him to be like you said. I advise you not to hang around my company all the time, or I’ll call the police!”

...

With that, Shen Shuyi walked back into the company without looking back.

F*ck! What did she mean by knowing Luo Chen better than me?

What you know about Luo Chen is just the surface that he’s showing to you!

Luo Chen was a nouveau riche kid who did all kinds of evil!

Hearing Shen Shuyi’s words, Lin Tian’s hatred for Luo Chen intensified.

Even so, Lin Tian was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he walked towards the cafe.

As long as Shen Shuyi came today, he would definitely tell her about this!

Shen Shuyi, who had returned to the company, was also frowning.

Although what Lin Tian said about Luo Chen could not be trusted, she was still worried that Luo Chen had encountered some trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi called Luo Chen.

“Hello, Shuyi, what’s the matter?”

“Luo Chen, have you had any difficulties recently?”

“No, why?”

“Oh, then do you have time to look for me at the company? Let’s have coffee together?”

“Sure. Wait for me.”

With that, he hung up.

Shen Shuyi was worried that Luo Chen would be too embarrassed to reveal his difficulties on the phone, so she arranged to meet him at the cafe.

At this moment, after suffering a huge blow, Ye Bei fell asleep when he returned. Luo Chen could only drive to Shen Shuyi’s company himself.
