My Sexy CEO Wife

The portly man furrowed his brows and muttered to himself in dismay, "Why has it gone up again? This kid sure has some good luck!" Having been in the Gambling Stone business for many years, he had figured out the ins and outs. When it comes to Gambling Stones, luck is what matters most. If luck is on your side, you'll earn a fortune, but without luck... you're just waiting to lose money.

Of course, besides luck, Gambling Stones also require a keen eye and experience. Some people can analyze the condition of a stone to some extent with their skills and experience, which increases their chances of winning. These individuals are usually referred to as "experts".

"Crack... crack..."

Three more stones were cut, and all of them contained jade.

The portly man's face finally changed. What was going on? How could it be that five consecutive stones all contained jade? This luck was almost defying the heavens!

"Amazing!"

"To think he's cut jade out of five consecutive stones."

"His luck is just too good!"

"What do you think... will there be jade in the rest of these stones?"

"There should be, I guess."

...

The surrounding crowd was equally astonished.

"Crack!"

The sixth stone was cut open, and it was empty, with nothing inside.

"Phew..."

The portly man heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, a worthless stone emerged; it seemed this guy's luck had run out.

"Crack crack..."

The seventh and eighth stones were also cut, and likewise, there was no jade within them.

The portly man began to smile. He looked up at Gao Fei with a mocking glint in his eye. "So, you've been taken aback, huh?" What disappointed the portly man was that Gao Fei didn't show the slightest bit of nervousness; he seemed completely indifferent to what was happening! "Hmph, just keep pretending!

Once all the remaining stones are cut, let's see if you can continue your act!" In the portly man's eyes, Gao Fei was feigning composure but was, in reality, extremely panicky inside.

Gao Fei had intentionally chosen a few worthless stones, aiming not to cause too much of a commotion. Just imagine, if jade were found in all fifteen stones, what would the onlookers think? They'd probably consider him a freak! To avoid such trouble and not be seen as a freak, Gao Fei had no choice but to pick a few worthless stones as a facade.

It wouldn't hurt to stay as low-key as possible, as long as the wealth was secured.

...

But when the ninth stone was cut open, the portly man couldn't laugh anymore, for jade had been found inside once again, and its quality wasn't bad—it could sell for at least a hundred thousand.

"Did you see that? Jade has been found again, and the quality is pretty good too."

"This young man's luck is truly indescribable."

"If I had such good luck, I'd be ecstatic."

...

The onlooking crowd buzzed with commentary.

"Crack crack crack..."

All of the remaining six stones were cut open, and without exception, they all contained jade. Among them was one particularly dazzling piece...

"Oh my God. It's ice-type jade!" A gasp rose from the crowd. "I've lived for several decades, but this is the first time I've seen such a large piece of ice-type jade..."

"It's so beautiful, just so beautiful!"

"This piece of ice-type jade is worth at least a few million!"

"If you get a renowned master to carve it carefully, the price could be even higher! It could possibly exceed ten million!"

...

Jade is generally categorized into glass-type, ice-type, fu baoshi-type, jin si-type, white-green-type, bean-type, flower-green-type, oil-green-type, dry-green-type, horse-teeth-type, among which glass-type is the most precious and valuable, followed by ice-type.

Ice-type jade is a semi-transparent variety with a frosty texture, imparting an impression of pure, icy clarity. With a three-part warmth and a seven-part chill, it resembles ice and water in its appearance, offering a refreshing and comfortable feeling. Its crystalline heart-clearing aspect still carries hints of a subtle and veiled beauty.

If glass-type jade is the emperor of jade, then ice-type jade is its imperial consort.

A small piece of ice-type jade can often be worth hundreds of thousands, even millions. If the piece is larger, its value increases significantly.

Of course, ice-type jade also varies in quality, with its price largely depending on the jade's purity, transparency, color, and the strength of its "gelatinous feel." The fewer impurities, the better the "seed water" (internal quality), the better the color, and the better the "gelatinous feel," the higher the price will naturally be. Conversely, the price will be lower.

The so-called "gelatinous feel" refers to a piece of jade that, when looked at, resembles a chunk of solidified glue. As you rotate it and the surface light interacts, it appears to flow like liquid glue, incredibly beautiful! This type of jade is even more precious and valuable.

"How could this happen..." The fat man was dumbstruck: "There's actually ice-type jade in my shop... ice-type jade..." He was heartbroken. The piece of ice-type jade, the size of a baby's fist, originally belonged to him, but owing to his negligence, it had become someone else's... The pain, the pain was just unbearable...

He had run the shop for many years, and the most remarkable outcome he ever had was cutting a piece of 'gold-thread' jade. He had been overjoyed for days and later sold the gold-thread jade for 1.5 million, making a huge profit.

If a piece of gold-thread jade could be sold for 1.5 million, how much could this piece of ice-type jade fetch? The fat man didn't dare to continue the thought; he was afraid he might faint from heartache.

"How about it? The jade selections I've made are pretty good, aren't they?" Gao Fei said nonchalantly.

"You..." The fat man opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Life had its ironies; just a moment ago, he had been mocking Gao Fei for overestimating himself, but now he was at a loss for words due to Gao Fei's comeback.

Indeed, life is full of uncertainties.

One really shouldn't be too arrogant!

"Would these pieces of jade together be worth five million?" Gao Fei continued.

"Worth it! Of course, they're worth it!" Before the fat man could respond, someone else shouted: "That piece of ice-type jade alone is worth more than five million."

"Brother, sell me that piece of ice-type jade. I'll give you five million!"

"Five million? You're really stingy! I bid 5.5 million!"

"I bid six million!"

"Seven million!"

"Eight million!"

...

In the blink of an eye, the piece of ice-type jade had escalated to the hefty price of eight million.

Gao Fei was finally moved. Wow! Could this seemingly transparent jade really sell for eight million? Earning money was too easy! Honestly, his knowledge of jade was very limited. He only knew that the higher the transparency of jade, the more valuable it was.

When selecting stones, he found that one contained a piece of jade with extremely high transparency, and it was not small in size either; it should be worth quite a bit. But he had not expected it to be worth eight million; this exceeded Gao Fei's expectations.

"Brother, sell this piece of jade to me!"

"Sell it to me! I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

"Better sell it to me!"

...

A crowd started to clamor for the jade. Ice-type jade was really too rare, and with such a large size, if carved, it could definitely fetch an astronomical price.

"Sir, could you sell all these pieces of jade to me?" Shen Caidie stepped forward, looking at Gao Fei full of anticipation: "I will absolutely give you a satisfactory price!"

"Sure." Gao Fei agreed swiftly: "I'll sell them to you."

"Ah?" Shen Caidie was entirely stunned: "You… you really agree to sell them to me..."

"Yes." Gao Fei nodded: "After all, we've done business before, and I trust your character." Although their interactions were brief, Gao Fei had a good impression of Shen Caidie. Now that Shen Caidie wanted to buy the jade, he agreed without hesitation!

That's the kind of person Gao Fei was, returning favors manyfold to those who had helped him, and repaying those who had attempted to swindle him just the same.

A few hours ago, Gao Fei had cut a piece of jade, and the shop owner had offered him 30,000 to purchase it, but Shen Caidie bought it for 50,000. If Shen Caidie hadn't appeared in time, Gao Fei would have lost 20,000. Although it wasn't a large sum, the principle of the matter was clear, and Gao Fei didn't like being taken advantage of.

"Among these pieces of jade, that piece of ice-type jade is the most valuable. According to the current market price... that piece of ice-type jade could probably sell for about 9 million. The rest of the jade is slightly inferior... Well, how about this, I'll give you a total of 10 million. What do you think of this price?" Shen Caidie quickly offered a price.

"Okay, let's go with that price." Gao Fei agreed with a nod. In mere moments, Gao Fei had become a multimillionaire.

Shen Caidie took out her mobile phone to transfer ten million to Gao Fei, and then she carefully collected the pieces of jade. She was very excited; with this raw jade material, the company's performance could be greatly improved, and she would also make a good profit.

Today was really worth it!

Oh, right, and there was also the man in front of her! His talent for stone gambling was extremely high. If she could pull him into the company, it would benefit the company's development a lot.

Shen Caidie made up her mind, by any means necessary, she had to bring this man into the company!

Seeing Gao Fei sell all the jade to Shen Caidie, the onlookers showed their disappointment, but they didn't say much. Whom Gao Fei chose to sell the jade to was his own business, and others had no right to interfere. Besides, the price Shen Caidie offered was reasonable; even if they were to buy it, they wouldn't pay more than what Shen Caidie had offered.

...

Gao Fei flaunted his phone to the fat man: "See this? Just got ten million in the account!" With that, the corners of Gao Fei's mouth curved into a slow grin: "Shall we start our bet now?"

"I..." The fat man felt a little uneasy inside. After witnessing Gao Fei's talent for stone gambling, he no longer wanted to bet, but... with everyone watching, it was embarrassing to back out now, and he was truly at a loss.

"If you have no objections, let the worker cut open the stone." Gao Fei pointed to the stone-cutting worker: "Don't just stare; hurry up and cut open that semi-finished stone."
