My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 87: The Magical Stone



Feitian Group.

Top floor.

Inside the Chairman's office.

Gao Fei stood in front of the window, gazing through the glass at the distant high-rise buildings, "It's time to return to Bright Pearl City for revenge."

With his current financial resources and connections, he should be able to defeat Su Zhentian.

"Su Zhentian, are you ready? I am coming for you soon!" Gao Fei muttered to himself, "The humiliation you once inflicted upon me, I will return it to you tenfold, a hundredfold." Years ago, Gao Fei left his hometown to make his way in Bright Pearl City. Lacking advanced education and technical skills, he could only take on physically demanding jobs.

By chance, he joined the Su Group as a security guard. Although the salary wasn't high, it was enough to support himself.

Later, Gao Fei met his first girlfriend, Zhao Ting. At first, their relationship was very strong, and they even reached the point of discussing marriage. Unfortunately, in the end, they broke up. The reason was simple: Gao Fei had no money, no house, and no car, which led to Zhao Ting's disdain.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Gao Fei, and it took a long time for him to recover from the shadow it cast.

After that, Gao Fei got to know Su Xiaorou, the daughter of the Su Group. Gao Fei could swear on his honor that he had no designs on Su Xiaorou at that time, but Su Zhentian did not believe him. He was convinced that Gao Fei had ulterior motives towards Su Xiaorou, so Su Zhentian used despicable means to drive Gao Fei out of Bright Pearl City.

At that moment, Gao Fei swore to the heavens that he would one day return to seek vengeance! He would make Su Zhentian pay a painful and unparalleled price!

No one can insult him!

No one can bully him!

And no one can look down on him!

"Su Zhentian, if you knew about my accomplishments now, you would definitely be surprised, wouldn't you? No, 'surprised' is not the right word to describe it. 'Shocked' would be more appropriate," the corners of Gao Fei's mouth slowly curled into a smile.

"I really can't wait."

"I wish I could fly back to Bright Pearl City right now!"

"Hmm, perhaps... I'll go there tomorrow?"

...

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling..."

The phone on the office desk suddenly rang.

Gao Fei reached for the handset, "Hello? What is it?"

"Boss, there's someone from out of town who wants to sell a stone, claiming it's a treasured family heirloom. Old Zhang and the others are not quite sure about it, so they'd like you to come down and take a look."

"A stone? What kind of stone?"

"It's black and lustrous. It does look extraordinary."

"Okay, I'll be right down." Gao Fei placed the handset down and stepped out of his office.

The person who had called Gao Fei was named Gu Qingsong, a master appraiser hired by Gao Fei for a hefty sum. Gu Qingsong's usual duties included appraising antiques, and his judgment was very sharp, rarely mistaken. He was very cautious in his work, and if he encountered something he couldn't decide on, he would consult Gao Fei. He would never make rash decisions, which Gao Fei greatly appreciated.

A few minutes later, Gao Fei arrived at the antique appraisal hall.

"Boss, you've arrived." A man in his sixties quickly came to greet him; this was Gu Qingsong, who had an ordinary appearance but carried an air of a scholar.

"Where's the item?" Gao Fei asked.

"Here, on the counter. I'll take you there," Gu Qingsong led Gao Fei to the counter and pointed at a blackened stone, "This is the thing. We're all a bit uncertain about it."

"This stone is a family heirloom, a treasure." Next to the counter stood a young man in plain clothes, speaking with a thick hometown accent, "If my family hadn't been short on money, I would never sell it."

"Huh?" Gao Fei glanced at the stone, and his pupils suddenly contracted as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Boss? What's wrong?" asked Gu Qingsong.

Ignoring Gu Qingsong, Gao Fei walked forward and picked up the black stone. Although he tried to contain it, excitement still flickered in his eyes. How could such abundant spiritual energy be concealed within this stone? It even surpassed a Spirit Beast Inner Pill — it was too incredible!

"Hey, be careful, don't drop the stone," the young man shouted at Gao Fei.

Deep breaths, more deep breaths, only after completely calming his emotions did Gao Fei turn to look at the young man, his mouth slightly upturned with a gentle smile.

"You have an ugly, sinister smile!" the young man blurted out something that greatly frustrated Gao Fei.

What? My smile is ugly? Sinister? What kind of vision do you have? My smile is supposed to be warm and sunny.

After being provoked by the young man's comment, Gao Fei no longer felt like smiling. He put away the smile on his face and looked at the young man seriously, "Young brother, where are you from?"

"From the Northeast," the young man replied.

"Oh, the Northeast is a nice place. Good mountains, good water, and even better people," Gao Fei complimented, "You said just now that this stone is a family heirloom?"

"Yes," the young man nodded, "It was passed down from my great-grandfather. If you count carefully, it has a history of over two hundred years. Let me tell you, this stone is definitely a treasure. It gets particularly hot there in the summer, but if you put this stone in the room, it becomes incredibly cool, even more effective than air conditioning.

And it also keeps flies and mosquitoes from entering the house."

"Oh? That magical, huh?" Gao Fei showed a trace of surprise.

"Definitely magical!" the young man said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't say it's a treasure."

"If it's such a treasure, why do you want to sell it? Can you bear to part with it?"

"Of course I can't bear it, but my family is short of money. I've got a partner, and we're getting married soon. There's not enough room in the house for both of us, so we have to buy an apartment in the county town. But the prices are so high, I simply can't come up with that much money, so I have no choice but to sell this stone," the young man said, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

If there was any way possible, he wouldn't sell the stone.

"Does your family know you're selling the stone?" Gao Fei asked.

"Of course they know, they're the ones who told me to sell it," the young man nodded, "Hey, what's with all the questions? Are you going to buy it or not? If you're not, I'll go find someone else to sell it to."

"Buy! Of course, I'll buy it!" Gao Fei nodded without any hesitation, "How much are you thinking of selling it for?"

"Um..." The young man hesitated for a moment, "200,000, I guess..."

"200,000?" Gao Fei was stunned.

"If you think the price is too high, we can still negotiate," the young man hurriedly said.

"Hehe... You've misunderstood me," Gao Fei laughed, "The price you're asking isn't high at all; in fact, it's a bit low. Selling such a good stone for only 200,000? It's practically a clearance sale."

The young man blinked, "I set the price too low?"

"Right." Gao Fei nodded affirmatively, "Too low! The principle of my company is to be fair to both young and old. If you come to my company to sell the stone, I definitely can't cheat you."

"Then you make an offer..."

"Err... 10 million."

"How much?!" The young man almost bit his own tongue, "What did you say?"

"10 million," Gao Fei repeated.

"Err..." The young man's face uncontrollably twitched, "You... You can't joke about this... It's lethal..."

Gao Fei shook his head, "I'm not joking, I'm serious! I do intend to offer 10 million for this stone, it's just whether you're willing to sell it or not?"

"Willing, of course, I'm willing, I'm too willing," the young man was thrilled, "When will you give me the money?" Worried that delays might change things, he wanted to get the money as soon as possible.

"You have a bank account, right? A bank card."

"Yes, yes, I do."

"I'll transfer the money to you right now... There, 10 million has been transferred, check it and see if it's correct."

The young man shakily took out his phone, opened the message from the bank, and counted several times before finally laughing ecstatically, "It's right, 10 million, it's 10 million! Hahaha, who would have thought I'd become a millionaire in the blink of an eye, this is amazing, truly amazing.

I've decided, I'm not buying an apartment, I'm going to buy a villa, the biggest villa, and move my wife, my parents over to live there; I want them to enjoy life with me!"

Once the young man had calmed down a bit, Gao Fei then said, "Does your family have any more of these stones?"

"No, we only had this one stone at home," the young man shook his head.

"Think about it carefully."

"There really aren't any more, I'm not lying to you."

"Do you know the origin of this stone?"

"The origin? I don't know," the young man shook his head, "All I know is that it was passed down from my great-grandfather, but as for its actual origins, I have no idea." Pausing for a moment, the young man continued, "Maybe my dad knows."

"Your dad?" Gao Fei's eyes lit up.

"I only said it's possible," the young man said, "My dad is very taciturn and keeps everything to himself. I guess... he might know the origins of the stone. Actually, I've asked him before, but he wouldn't tell me."

"Can you introduce me to him? I'd like to have a talk with your dad," Gao Fei said.

"That..." The young man hesitated, "My dad doesn't like meeting strangers..."

"Introduce me, and I'll give you 100,000," Gao Fei said, "Think of it as a wedding red envelope from me."

"100,000?" The young man was tempted. Just by introducing this young guy to his old man, he could make 100,000, easy money, "Deal, I agree."

"When do we set off?" Gao Fei asked.

"How about tomorrow? I still have to buy some things today," the young man said, "Tomorrow I'll take you to see my dad."

"Alright," Gao Fei nodded.

After exchanging contact information, the young man left in high spirits. A few minutes ago, he was flat broke, and a few minutes later, he turned into a millionaire. Happiness had come too quickly, almost overwhelming him with excitement.

The young man was from a rural area in the Northeast. He wanted to sell his ancestral stone because he needed money to get married. To get a better price, he took the train directly to Southern City. Some of his fellow villagers worked there, and they had said that Southern City was overflowing with riches. Wealthy people were especially generous and would pay a fortune for anything they liked.

He decided to sell the black stone in Southern City, prompted by what his fellow villagers had said. Coincidentally, the first buyer he approached was Gao Fei, and the sale went through smoothly.
