Chapter 1146 No choice!
Hearing the voice, Zhang Ruoling turned around and looked.
The one who spoke to stop him was an old man in his sixties. Although his beard and hair were grey, he was in good spirits, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a rosy face.
A group of people followed the old man, and Zhao Xu was among them.
The person who came was Mr. Hua.
Zhang Ruoling recognized the old man's identity, but he didn't intend to listen to him. "Hey, although one hundred thousand yuan is not a lot, but I see that you are dressed plainly, it should not be easy to take out this money. Why do you insist on your own judgment and be stubborn?"
Elder Hua saw Zhang Ruoling handing the stone to the waiter and preparing to pay, so he spoke up again to stop him.
The people following behind him all agreed.
"Who is this person? Mr. Hua took the initiative to talk to him, but he ignored him."
"It's just that Mr. Hua is kind-hearted and has a good temper. Seeing that he was wearing rags, he kindly gave him some advice, but he didn't expect... Humph, young people nowadays are really ignorant."
"Forget it, forget it. He's stupid and rich. When he falls, he'll regret why he didn't listen to me."
Everyone looked at Zhang Ruoling as if they were laughing at a joke, except Zhao Xu, who was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.
From Mr. Hua's perspective, if he said that Zhang Ruoling's stone was not good, then it was most likely really not good. What's more, the material selected by Zhang Ruoling was real waste, anyone who had learned a little about jade could see.
The stone skin was cracked. Even if there was something inside, it would be covered with cracks. In addition, the stone surface was smooth and it seemed that water was leaking out, which further proved that there was nothing inside.
I really don’t know why Zhang Ruoling is so persistent.
Did he really misjudge the person? Zhang Ruoling was not that powerful, and the reason why he looked down on him was just a trick? Zhao Xu fell into deep self-questioning.
In just a moment, Zhang Ruoling had completed the payment and was about to leave with the stone.
But a hand stopped Zhang Ruoling.
"Since this young man is so confident in himself, why not just cut the stone here? I'll pay for it."
The person who blocked the road was a young man dressed in luxurious attire. Although he was speaking to Zhang Ruoling, his eyes were directed at Mr. Hua.
Wang Cheng also plays with stones, but he has been around Mr. Hua for so long today but has not received any attention. Fortunately, Mr. Hua treats everyone the same and he can't find any fault with him.
But as soon as Zhang Ruoling showed up, Elder Hua gave him some advice, but this guy just didn't listen as if there was a hole in his brain.
If he doesn't listen and makes Old Hua unhappy, then he will be the executioner and step on Zhang Ruoling to get to the top. When Zhang Ruoling loses face, he will also be able to gain some favor from Old Hua.
Wang Cheng thought happily.
But Zhang Ruoling ignored his complicated thoughts. Instead, he thought that if someone was going to take advantage of him and spend money for him, he should just agree to it.
"Okay." Zhang Ruoling nodded.
In the crowd, Zhao Xu was completely disappointed.
I had previously planned to have more in-depth exchanges with Zhang Ruoling, and it would be best if we could become friends. But now it seems that Zhang Ruoling doesn't even have the most basic tact, so being friends is impossible. At most I can go to him when I'm sick.
Fortunately, he did not agree to let Zhang Ruoling pay for him, otherwise, after this incident, he would have lost all his face.
Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
After Wang Cheng paid the money, the waiter placed Zhang Ruoling's stone on the cutting machine and waited quietly for the water droplets to penetrate the surface of the stone.
But Mr. Hua did not just leave, but followed over with interest.
As soon as he left, a large number of people followed him.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng knew that he had won the bet.
"Master Hua, since this young man thinks he can do it, I will take the initiative to help him remove the stone. This way, he will suffer less loss and learn a lesson.
Wang Cheng smiled and said that he could see that Mr. Hua was a kind person, so he disguised himself like that.
As expected, Mr. Hua nodded to him in approval.
"I don't know when Young Master Wang became a philanthropist. If you really want to save people some money, why not pay for the stone? Don't worry, at Zhao's Jade Shop, as long as someone pays, the money paid by the previous person can be refunded."
Zhao Xu was upset because of Zhang Ruoling's matter, and seeing Wang Cheng's fawning look, he couldn't help but retort.
Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "There is no loss, so where is the lesson? Or is it that Young Master Zhao is the real philanthropist? It just so happens that this is Zhao's Jade Shop, so why not let Young Master Zhao waive the bill?" One hundred thousand yuan is not even a fraction of their pocket money for rich second-generations, but it is still good to use it to disgust people.
Zhao Xu snorted coldly.
At this time, Mr. Hua spoke up, "Look at the stone cutting carefully. This young man looks very confident. I was also poor and destitute in the past. At that time, I chose a stone and everyone opposed it. But I finally cut out the material that turned the tide.
After hearing what Mr. Hua said, the crowd suddenly understood.
No wonder he gave Zhang Ruoling some advice, it turned out that he saw his own past self.
However, the figure of Mr. Hua and Zhang Ruoling are not proportional.
Everyone felt disdainful tacitly.
And the other side.
The stone on the cutting machine has been thoroughly moistened, and the stone cutter has started the machine.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng came up with a plan, "Mr. Zhao, how about we make a bet on this stone?"
"Bet on this stone?"
Zhao Xu looked at Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, I bet there is no material or waste material in this stone, and Mr. Zhao should be very confident in his own jade business, so why don't you bet that there is good material in it."
"you!"
Zhao Xu glared at Wang Cheng angrily.
What kind of gambling is this?
The stone Zhang Ruoling chose was obviously waste. If he bet on whether there was material inside, it would be a 50-50 chance. But Wang Cheng, who was such a useless guy, actually asked him to bet whether there was good material inside.
Isn't this a joke!
However, Wang Cheng said it in a decisive way. If Zhao Xu did not agree, it would mean that he had no confidence in his own jade shop. It would be fine if it was any other time, but today, Mr. Hua was here, and there were countless wealthy people. If he did not agree, it would be like admitting defeat. But if he agreed, it would just be a more beautiful defeat.
"What? Mr. Zhao has no confidence in his own jade business?" Wang Cheng was determined to show off in front of Mr. Hua. Zhao Xu had finally shown up, so he would naturally not let him go and would hold on to him tightly.
Zhao Xu was angered by him speaking again.
"Let's gamble. The stones that Zhao's Jade Company buys are strictly controlled every time and mined in professional mines. Although Mr. Hua thinks it's unlikely, I have confidence."
Hearing Zhao Xu's agreement, Wang Cheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Zhao Xu didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Cheng. He looked at Zhang Ruoling with burning eyes. Although he felt it was unlikely, he still prayed silently, hoping that Zhang Ruoling could give him a miracle.
As the center of the bet, Zhang Ruoling naturally heard the conversation between Wang Cheng and Zhao Xu, and smiled slightly without changing his expression.
At this time, the cutting knife slowly fell towards the stone.
