He listened to what I said and suddenly burst out laughing. I looked at him in surprise, and he said, "That's really funny! Someone actually asked me if I dare to gamble. What do you think, do I dare?"
I looked at the money and said, "Dare you?"
Qian Guang put away his smile. Perhaps my words are quite childish, but I asked on purpose. I'm afraid he won't continue to bet with me, so I provoked him intentionally. Although this is a bit risky, I have to do it; opportunities must be seized.
"Just take a look and enjoy," Qian Guang said.
His words were ambiguous, leaving the final decision in my hands. If I took the gamble and lost, the responsibility would fall entirely on me, and he might very well back out. Yet, I couldn't keep asking, after all, he had already given an answer. Besides, I have confidence; Nanqi
I said, "Master, just skin the material for me, one side will do."
The master nodded, placed the stone on the cutting machine, and as I listened to the sound of the machine grinding against the stone, I began to feel anxious. I looked at Qian Guang, and my heart raced even more. He was someone who mingled in the underworld, and if we lostPeople like them often do such things, and I feel a bit uneasy inside.
"Must win, must win..."
I keep praying in my heart, I don't want to cause trouble, so I can only walk away unscathed if I win. I swear to myself that after winning this time, I will switch to another stone gambling shop and never come back to this one, no longer dealing with this money-grubbing place
The skin of the stone was being chipped away little by little. I watched the sparks flying from the grinding wheel, my heart racing to the extreme. I kept blinking, not wanting to miss the process of the stone being ground down; in fact, I was scared.
Suddenly, Qian Guang patted me on the shoulder and said, "You're really tense..."
He startled me, and I wiped the sweat off my forehead. I nodded slightly, and he smiled a bit, saying, "It's normal to be nervous. I'm the kind of person who only wants to win, not lose. If I lose, I get angry. I have a bad temper and can hit
After I listened, I felt even more scared. I swallowed hard, and he smiled at me. Suddenly, I found his smile a bit sinister. I turned around, a bit dazed, and suddenly my master picked something up. I felt a bit nervous. At that moment, my master placed a stone
The master said, "Oh, you’re so lucky! You didn’t change colors, but the water has changed; the water inside is older. It’s rare to see ice-like, transparent, aged, colorless Nanshi material. However, there are a few minor flaws; there’s a bit
After listening, I hurriedly picked up the stone, wiped the sweat from my forehead, looked at Qian Guang, and said, "We won, the water inside has changed, we won, haha..."
He looked at me, took the stone, and said, "Pretty impressive, but what are you so nervous about? Didn't you say the investment is already secure? No matter how much we lose, we can't lose our capital. Are you afraid of me?"
I looked at him and nervously nodded. I was really afraid of Qiang, honestly. I had heard about his reputation back when we were in school; he was involved with gangs, carried a gun, and had been to prison. I knew how bad people like him could be. Hearing about his exploits
"Friends respect me, so I naturally respect my friends. Therefore, if you want to be my friend, you don't have to be afraid of me, unless..."
I watched as Qian Guang didn't finish his sentence. Suddenly, he smiled, reached out to hug me, and pulled me toward the recycling area. When we arrived at the recycling area, Qian Guang placed the stone on the table. This time, the boss came over personally. He looked at the stone
"Boss Wei, I don't understand prices, I'm just a gambler. The material is good, so you should give a bit more money." Qian Guang said politely.
The boss picked up the stone, sprayed it with water, placed it on the table, and said, "Guang Ge, this material is quite good; it can be made into bracelets. According to market prices, one bracelet is worth a hundred thousand, so two would be two hundred thousand. The scraps
"Boss Wei conducts business fairly, let's settle on two hundred thousand," said Qian Guang.
I felt very unhappy when I heard that. This material can be used to make bracelets, and the scraps could at least be made into two pairs of safety buckles. Although they might only sell for three to five thousand, that's still money! Yet, he just decided to give it up without a second thought
After a while, I saw Boss Wei take out four thick stacks of cash from the safe at the back and place them on the table. I felt a bit dizzy; really, it was the first time I had seen so much cash. But at the same time, I felt it was such a pity.
Qian Guang took all the money away, and I was a bit surprised. He grabbed my arm and said, "Little brother, let's talk in the car."
I felt a bit resistant, afraid that he would take my money, and even more afraid of what he might do to me. Yet, I still cautiously got into the car with him.
Qian Guang's car was parked in the lot, a very impressive Land Rover. There was another person in the car, a burly man with a big beard. When he saw us coming, he got out to open the door for us. I looked at this man, and he looked like a pillar
Qian Guang pulled me into the car, and I was a bit resistant. I said, "Just say it outside. Give me my share, I still need to go back to class."
"Brother Guang is asking you to go up, so just go up. Stop f*****g around with the excuses. If I'm inviting you, it shouldn't be like this."
I looked at the big bearded man; he was very fierce. Qian Guang said, "Zhuzi, my little brother won one hundred fifty thousand from me, be polite."
I nodded at the person called Zhuzi and stopped talking, being quite obedient. I also smartly got into the car. After the door closed, Qian Guang took out a stack of money and said to me, "Fifty thousand, not a penny less. I, Qian Guang, am a man of principle."
I reached out to take the money, my heart racing. I looked at the cash, and he smiled and said, "I've noticed you from the very beginning. There are many people who gamble on stones, and quite a few experts too, but I've really never met anyone who could confidently say they would definitely
Qian Guang speaks very seriously, which makes people quite nervous. I said, "My dad studied gambling stones and had a lot of experience with raw stones, but he passed away—he died because of his lack of experience. When it comes to gambling stones, luck is the most important factor, and I
Qian Guang shook his head and said, "Once can be explained by luck, but what about twice? Twice is skill. I, Qian Guang, like to gamble, but I've never won. Really, I've been in society for over ten years and made a lot of money, but I've lost it
I looked at him gritting his teeth and couldn't help but smile; it was quite thrilling. He suddenly said to me very seriously, "If we get the chance, let's gamble again, but this time let's go big. I'll put up the money for a bigger game."
I looked at him, feeling very excited. I didn't want to interrupt him or provoke him, but I also didn't want to deal with him any longer. I said, "Brother Guang, no, I have to go to class. I might not have time to come by in the future, so I'm leaving
Qian Guang listened to my words and suddenly squinted his eyes. At that moment, the car door opened, and a person named Zhuzi directly pulled me out. He said, "Leaving? Did Brother Guang let you go? No time? Even if your father is dead, if Brother Guang wants you
I am very scared. This person called Zhuzi is incredibly strong; he lifts me as if he could just pick me up. Looking at his fierce and menacing appearance, I can only see the money disappearing. He said, "Zhuzi, let go."
The pillar still didn't want to, but the money coldly said, "Do I have to say it a second time?"
The pillar was very unwilling, throwing me down and glaring at me fiercely. I wanted to leave, but Qian Guang said to me, "If you call me Brother Guang, I’ll treat you like a brother. This Brother Guang isn’t just a title; I believe I’ve already shown you enough goodwill"I'll bet with you, so I hope you can come."
His words were very calm, but after he finished speaking, I noticed he bit his lips, looking as if he was suppressing something intensely. I knew he was holding back his anger, and I also knew he had shown me enough goodwill. However, I really didn't want, truly didn't want to have any
I said, "I'm sorry, Brother Guang, I'm just a student, so I'll be leaving now..."
