My Sexy CEO Wife

"Boss..." The stone cutter looked to the fat man for approval; he didn't dare cut the stone without the fat man's nod.

The fat man's cheeks twitched violently. What should he do? Go back on his word, or continue the gamble? If he went back on his word... his reputation would be ruined, and no one would probably do business with him in the future... But if he continued to gamble...

and if he lost, he would have to pay the other party five million! Five million—that was no small sum!

What should he do?

What exactly should he do?

The fat man felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

He regretted it!

He truly regretted it!

If he could choose again, he absolutely wouldn't have gambled with Gao Fei.

After a long deliberation, the fat man finally gritted his teeth, "Bet! Keep betting! Who's afraid of whom?" Reputation is crucial for a businessman; if it's destroyed, nobody would want to do business with him in the future, and over time, he would definitely go bankrupt.

So...

The fat man decided to take a risk! If he won, not only would he gain reputation but also net a profit of five million. And if he lost... well, he would simply pay up. He had been in business for many years and still had some wealth.

"Go, cut the stone." The fat man waved at the stone cutter, "Be careful!"

"Alright." The worker acknowledged and then started cutting the stone with the machine.

The scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone held their breath and watched the worker cut the stone intensively; it was a moment of truth—would Gao Fei win, or would the fat man win? The answer was about to be revealed!

The fat man's palms sweated with tension, praying fervently in his heart: Buddha Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Supreme Venerable... you must bless me to win! If I win, I will definitely buy more offerings to pay homage to you.

Compared to the fat man, Gao Fei was much more composed because he had confidence in himself, or rather, in his Clairvoyance! This was a sure-win bet!

He had just made ten million, and now another five million was about to be credited... In total, that made fifteen million... While this might not be much for those super-rich, it was different for Gao Fei.

With this money, Gao Fei wouldn't need to live frugally anymore.

Speaking of which, heaven had truly favored him, bestowing upon him the Demon God Heritage and activating his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance. As long as no major mishaps occurred, he was bound to rise and become the most dazzling success!

Su Zhentian, Dongfang Jian... Gao Fei silently recited the names of his nemeses, "Just wait for me. It won't be long before I come for my revenge!"

Dongfang Jian had humiliated him and even set people upon him, while Su Zhentian looked down on him, firing him from the company and using underhanded methods to drive him out of Bright Pearl City... He etched these accounts in his mind; one day, he would repay them tenfold, a hundredfold.

I will crush you beneath my feet, making you live at my mercy!

"Ah... the stone has been cut open..."

"There's only a thin layer of jade on the surface..."

"It's that young man who won again."

"Do you think... he won by luck or by genuine skill?"

"If it's by luck... well, that's not a big deal, as one's luck cannot last forever... but if it's by true skill... that would be incredibly impressive!"

...

A buzz of discussion spread around.

Gao Fei looked up and saw that the semi-finished stone had been cut open; there was only a thin layer of jade on the surface, the rest was all stone... Clearly, Gao Fei had won.

"Thump!"

The fat man swayed and fell to the ground, his face deathly pale. He had lost, after all... Today was truly a lousy day! Not only had he missed out on a fine piece of ice jade, but he also lost five million... Buddha Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Supreme Venerable... why didn't you bless me!

What a formidable man! Shen Caidie marveled inwardly, determined to recruit him to her company at all costs!

Gao Fei, wearing a smile, approached the fat man and said genially, "Sorry, but I'm the winner."

The fat man's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but all his words turned into a sigh. What could he say at this point?

"I believe you're a man who honors his bets." Gao Fei extended his hand in front of the fat man's face, "Five million! Will you transfer it, or pay in cash?"

"I don't have that much cash in the store..."

"Then transfer it!"

"...Could I catch my breath first... I'm feeling a bit unwell..."

"Sure, I'll give you five minutes."

...

Five minutes later, the fat man transferred five million to Gao Fei through his mobile phone. After pressing the confirm button for the transfer... his heart was bleeding, truly bleeding... just like that, five million were gone... With five million, you could buy a luxury villa in the city... With five million, you could purchase a luxury sports car...

With five million, you could have lots of lovers... and many illegitimate children...

Gao Fei grinned happily. Making money was just too easy. In just a few hours, he made fifteen million. It was incredibly satisfying.

At that moment, Shen Caidie walked over from the side, a smile on her face as she looked at Gao Fei, "Could we find a place to sit down? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Just give me a moment." Gao Fei wandered around the store and then shook his head in disappointment. He had inspected all the stones in the store and found that more than ninety percent of them were useless; they all contained jade, but it was of such poor quality that it wasn't worth much.

The most ridiculous thing was that the stones containing jade were priced absurdly high, ranging from tens of thousands to millions. Anyone who bought these stones was bound to incur a huge loss.

Since there was no value in purchasing the stones here, it was time to leave.

"Let's go, we're leaving this place," Gao Fei called out to Shen Caidie before stepping out of the store.

Shen Caidie quickly followed him.

What Gao Fei didn't expect was that as soon as he left, a group of people rushed into the fat man's shop and began buying stones in a frenzy. These people all hoped to brush up against Gao Fei's good fortune and strike it rich themselves! In no time, nearly half of the stones in the store had been sold.

The fat man was overjoyed in his heart. He had not expected this turn of events! In just an hour, the sales had exceeded twenty million. After deducting costs, the net profit was over ten million!

Keep buying! Continue buying! It would be great to clear out all the stones in the shop!

Perhaps this was what people mean by "a blessing in disguise"? The fat man mused to himself silently.

...

In a cafe with a tranquil and beautiful environment.

Gao Fei and Shen Caidie were sitting on a couch, sipping richly aromatic coffee and chatting pleasantly.

"Let us introduce ourselves formally. My name is Shen Caidie!"

"I'm Gao Fei."

They each stated their names.

"Mr. Gao, what do you do for a living?"

"I just quit my job, so now I'm unemployed."

"Mr. Gao, I really can't thank you enough for today! If it weren't for you stopping me in time, I would have lost five million."

"It was no big deal, not worth mentioning." Gao Fei waved it off casually.

Shen Caidie pondered for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Gao, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead," Gao Fei nodded.

"How could you tell that the slab of rough stone had only a thin layer of jade on the surface?" This question had been bothering Shen Caidie for quite some time.

"If I said I guessed, would you believe me?"

"I wouldn't," Shen Caidie shook her head. "You can guess once or twice, but not with more than a dozen stones..." She then lifted her gaze, her eyes fixed intently on Gao Fei, "You selected fifteen stones, and twelve yielded jade, including a rare piece of ice-type jade... Others might think you were just lucky, but I don't believe that! Even with good luck, you can't have such a high hit rate!

I'm sure you are an expert, a gambling stone expert!"

"Heh..." Gao Fei chuckled, "You're really singing my praises... I admit that I know a bit about gambling stone, but not as much as you imagine. The reason I was able to cut so much jade today was really down to luck..."

"You're too modest, Mr. Gao."

"Not at all, I'm speaking the truth."

"Mr. Gao, could I invite you to join my company?" Shen Caidie suddenly extended the invitation to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei was taken aback, "Join your company?"

"Yes, a friend and I co-founded a jewelry company. It's not very big, but it has excellent prospects for growth," Shen Caidie spoke quickly. "Our main business is selling jade jewelry. If Mr. Gao agrees to join our company, I'll make you the vice president."

Gao Fei shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to work for someone else anymore."

"Mr. Gao, please don't rush to refuse. After I tell you about your potential benefits, then you can give your opinion." Shen Caidie continued, "First, I offer you the position of vice president; second, an annual salary of one million; third, I will also give you a certain share of the company's stock, with dividends each year.

Strictly speaking, you wouldn't be working for me but collaborating with me! With shares, you become a shareholder of the company, having the supreme right to manage it."

Gao Fei smiled, "That does sound very tempting."

"Does this mean you agree, Mr. Gao?" Shen Caidie's eyes brightened.

"No," Gao Fei shook his head. "I haven't agreed."

"Mr. Gao..." Shen Caidie was about to speak but Gao Fei interrupted her.

Gao Fei gestured with his hand, "Miss Shen, I really can't agree to your proposal because I want to start my own company. I no longer want to be constrained by others."

"You want to start a company?" Shen Caidie was startled. "Mr. Gao... starting a company isn't as easy as you think. First of all, you have to register with the relevant authorities, and pay a certain deposit. Next, you need to find a suitable office location, then recruit all sorts of talent...

To sum up, starting a company is very troublesome..."
