Chapter 55: Hot Springs
1972 Words
Master's words surprised everyone, and they all came over here.
"So? Spending two hundred thousand on materials? How is that possible? I've been here a few times for tourism, and I've never heard of it..."
"It's really out, look at this material, isn't it?"
"Wow, I really can win at gambling, this luck..."
I heard many tourists talking in amazement, seemingly incredulous. It seems that this shop has never produced top-quality materials; even a 200,000 yuan material is already unbelievable. This type of gambling stone shop doesn't exist to gamble on top-quality materials but rather to provide tourists with the experience of gambling on stones. So, many people were very excited when a 200,000 yuan material was produced.
Malan was also very excited, climbing onto my shoulder casually. I watched her squat down, letting her lie down properly to avoid being taken advantage of by others.
The master said, "The material is good. I've been cutting here for many years, and I've never come across such good material. Your luck is really something, young man. Don't gamble anymore, take it out and sell it. You can make a down payment."
I looked at the material's open window; the areas of translucence are close to a "mutton fat" feel, with fine crystals, good water content, good luster, slightly prominent cotton-like texture, and a shade of apple green. It has a floating color label, no cracks, and no impurities, with a single piece's market value potentially in the range of a few hundred thousand. It has a full-color label, no cracks, and no impurities, combined with good craftsmanship, with a
I looked at Malan and said, "Is 200,000 enough?"
Malan smiled and said, "Women are never satisfied no matter how much they have. What's the meaning of this?"
I said, "Right now, we can sell it for 200,000, but if we gamble that it's a full piece, it could triple to at least 600,000. However, this piece is risky. If we cut it and the color jumps or it turns green inside, the piece will be ruined."
Malang took out a cigarette, and I quickly lit it for her with a lighter. She said, "Go ahead, let my heart race for a moment."
I chuckled and said, "Well, let's just cut it..."
I handed the material back to the master and said, "Cut it in the middle."
"Wow, you really know your stuff. Cutting it in the middle, if there's filling inside, that means it's fully stuffed. If there's no filling, you can still keep one end intact. Impressive."
I smiled and ignored my master's words. He quickly placed the rough stone on the cutting machine. I listened to the buzzing sound and watched as more and more people gathered around, all with excited faces. They were all tourists, perhaps drawn here by the fame of gambling on stones. My first experience of gambling on stones with my father was similar, very bittersweet. My father lost his life. When it comes to gambling on stones, don't just see the potential for overnight wealth; also consider the possibility of jumping
I'm not nervous; this time, gambling on stones is just for fun. If I win, Malan will be happy, and if I lose, it's no big deal.
Suddenly, the rough stone was cut open, and everyone craned their necks to see, even more excited than I was. At that moment, the master poured water on it, a bit excited, and said, "Hey, what great luck, it's a full stone. Look, it's really a full stone, two kilograms of icy melon skin green, a full stone. It's a pity it's triangular, not enough to make a bracelet, but making a pendant is also good. It should be worth
I held the material, happily looking at it, while the people around me were filled with admiration and envy. Seeing Maran even happier, she took a long drag on her cigarette and blew out a puff towards me. I said, "We won the bet..."
The cut inside the material hasn't changed color; it's still a melon seed green, and the water content has improved a lot. Unfortunately, it hasn't reached the ice type; it's still the glutinous type. The middle part has reached the ice glutinous type. For such a material, it won't be less than 600,000.
Malan said, "That's amazing, really f*****g great, I'll make sure you have a great time tonight too..."
Malan's words were whispered in my ear, carried by the warm breeze, making me feel a bit parched. She took the ingredients to the counter, but there was no place to return them; they only sold, not accepted returns. This made Malan a bit angry, but she was happy and didn't argue with them, still taking the ingredients and going out with me.
We got into the car, and Malan tossed the materials onto the back seat, looked at me, and said, "Nice, we just made six hundred thousand in no time..."
I said, "Luck, you only see me making six hundred thousand, but you didn't see me when I was dying. If gambling on stones could be a hundred percent successful, then there would be no poor people."
Malin smiled and said, "But you have to win the bet; you can't afford to lose."
I looked at Malan, and she was absolutely right. The reason I haven't lost in gambling stones so far is that I can't afford to lose. If I lose once, my life is over. At best, I would end up with broken hands and feet. So every time, I focus very intently and dare not lose; I can't afford to lose.
"Walk back, soak in the hot springs, my dad's shop, free..." said Ma Lan.
I smiled a bit, drove back, and thought it was time for me to relax. The tension in my nerves over the past few days almost drove me to the brink of collapse. I need to unwind a bit.
The car drove back to the hot spring resort, and Malan took me to change clothes. Then she chose a hot spring pool for me to wait in. I was wearing shorts and jumped into the hot spring. The gentle spring water made me feel incredibly comfortable all over. I let out a long sigh; it was really refreshing. I have to say, Seventh Master knows how to enjoy life. This feeling is truly one of the most comfortable experiences ever. If I could soak in the hot springs every day
At that moment, I heard footsteps and turned around to see Malan. She was draped in a white towel, followed by a waiter carrying a bottle of red wine and a glass. After the waiter set down the wine and glass, he left. When she reached the edge of the hot spring pool, I looked up at her. She dropped the towel on the ground, and I saw that she was wearing a sexy nightgown.
It's just a pity that before she could fully appreciate it, she quickly jumped into the water.
She looked at me, smiled, and said, "What are you looking at? Don't you have a girlfriend?"Looking at it this way, do you think you deserve your girlfriend?Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
Malang's words reminded me of Xuanling, but I didn't feel that I had wronged her. Everything I did outside was to make a name for myself. I had told her long ago, and she didn't blame me. She said she would rather I deceive her than tell her the truth. Moreover, I hadn't done anything with Xuanling. She was pure, and I was independent. I just felt a bit guilty about her infatuation with me.
But if she can wait for our future, I will never let her down.
Malan comfortably leaned against the stone wall and said, "My dad is old, saying he doesn't want to fight and kill anymore, it's just nonsense."
Malan's words puzzled me a bit. I said, "Yes, this world won't be without conflicts. There's not only life-and-death struggles but also covert battles. Seventh Master is quite naive in his thinking."
Malan didn't look at me but kept kicking her feet in the water. She said, "My dad has a hot spring resort, a teahouse, a nightclub, and a local travel company. Although the business isn't very big, it's still considered a well-known enterprise. When he was young, he rarely took care of me and was always out fighting and struggling. I saw it all, so I learned his ways. I originally thought I could take over from him, but..."
Malan gave a mocking laugh, and I could sense her bitterness. I said, "But your sister is more suitable for managing the business, so Master Qi is preparing to have your sister take over."
Malan looked at me and said, "Yeah, she graduated from a prestigious university, while I'm just a hot-tempered little girl. Plus, I messed up and got involved with Fat Pig Zhu, which made him even angrier and completely isolated me. Do you know why I had to marry Fat Pig Zhu?"
I smiled slightly, it wasn't hard to guess, I said, "You're not satisfied, you want to use Fat Pig Zhu to expand your influence, expand your territory, you want to turn the tables."
I suddenly felt Malan's foot reaching over, rubbing against my leg incessantly. I looked at her, and she gazed at me with a spring breeze, saying, "You're very clever, but you only guessed part of it. What I really want is to tell my dad that I am the best and most perfect daughter in his heart."
I swallowed hard and said, "Fat Pig Zhu is dead, ruining your good fortune, you should..."
"You know it well, so you should understand how much you owe me. However, my ambitions are not tied to Fat Pig Zhu's nightlife business. If it goes down, it goes down. I've already inherited over thirty million in assets. With you as my cash cow, starting a business won't be difficult."
I chuckled and said, "I'm not a money tree, and betting on stones isn't a guaranteed win..."
"If you lose, you're dead." Maran said fiercely, but she quickly swam over. I felt her penetrating gaze, and she said, "Do you remember what I told you?"
I frowned, feeling a bit like backing out, and said, "What do you mean?"
She seductively said, "I told you, if you make me feel good, I'll definitely make you feel good..."
I looked into her invasive eyes, unreservedly. I knew there was no love between us, just pure physical temptation and plunder. I was struggling. What use was Maran to me?
The answer is definitely yes. Seventh Master's daughter will definitely be very useful, even more so than Xiao Mi. Since she is willing to cooperate with me, why should I turn her away? So I reached out my hand and wrapped it around her slender waist...
"Kiss me..." Maran closed her eyes and tilted her head, waiting for my kiss...
I couldn't wait to press my lips against Jingyi's moist ones... The wine-soaked scent in Jingyi's mouth was intoxicating, and her lips, having tasted alcohol before, drove me even crazier...
Malan twisted her delicate body, adopting a tempting posture that seemed both inviting and hesitant. I began to lose control, falling into a state of madness.
I tell myself, it's all worth it, as long as I can make a name for myself, it's all worth it...
Recalling Chen Xi's frightening gaze, I know that right now I'm just a lowly thug. Some people treat me like treasure, while others treat me like dirt, trampling on me at will...
I don't want people to trample on me, I don't want...
