“Imperial Jade! That’s Imperial Jade!!” Imperial Jade looked like lake blue at first glance. Under strong light, it turned a vivid green, and under a digital flash, it appeared yellow-green. Its colors were ever-changing and stunning.
Everyone present was shocked.
“This…” Even Bai Zihang was surprised. He hadn’t expected that his outrageous luck would one day truly pay off.
“This Young Master has a sharp eye!”
“A huge piece like this could sell for at least 200 million. Bought for just 10 million, that’s a straight profit of 190 million!”
“Damn! One cut makes you rich, one cut makes you poor, one cut ruins your clothes—it’s all true!”
Everyone present was a veteran in the jade gambling circle. They could estimate the value of such a stone with just one glance. Natural jadeite with a translucent to semi-translucent texture, a lustrous and oily surface, and upon close inspection, nearly round semi-transparent ‘salt grains’ surrounded by fibrous textures—this stone was definitely worth over 200 million!
“Your judgment is impressive!!” Bai Zihang, stirred with excitement, came over and patted Su Chen on the shoulder, praising, “When we get back, I’ll reward you! No, I’ll do it right now!”
He immediately signaled to Secretary Miss beside him to make the transfer.
[Ding! Your Gongshang Bank account has received 100,000,000 yuan!]
Soon, Su Chen’s phone chimed with a notification… he had forgotten to mute it.
That sound made everyone present look at him with envy. Their expressions were full of jealousy!
Especially Bai Zihang’s other subordinates.
“(ΩДΩ) Damn! We’re all little brothers, why are you the only one this flashy!”
They couldn’t even speak out their jealousy. All they could feel was envy, resentment, and bitterness!
With just a few words, Su Chen made a hundred million. He felt proud—being a little brother was worth it!
Even random onlookers were envious. A hundred million! That’s the salary of an ordinary worker over several lifetimes!
Too crazy!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was gnashing his teeth. He never imagined that the raw stone he had set his sights on would be snatched up by this rich second-generation brat!
The protagonist still didn’t realize that someone else had spotted the stone first. In his eyes, all good things were his by right—no one else deserved them.
Beside him, Qin Yuwei was also surprised—or maybe not.
What she hadn’t expected was that the story from Su Chen’s inner thoughts was actually coming true. And because of his presence, the plot had already changed.
More inner thoughts came again.
[According to the original plot, the next part should be Bai Zihang getting tricked by Ye Xuan into buying a worthless stone.]
[Since Bai Zihang lost the Imperial Jade, he’d be upset and would try to intercept Ye Xuan, snatching whatever stone he picked.]
[But the scheming Ye Xuan would deliberately choose a highly priced but useless stone to trap Bai Zihang.]
[After the Imperial Jade event, Bai Zihang would believe Ye Xuan had good judgment, so he’d steal his pick. But that was Ye Xuan’s trap. The stone was trash, and this moment would deliver a satisfying Slap in the Face for Bai Zihang—readers loved this part!]
[After all, aside from making money, watching the villain suffer is one of the main pleasures in a novel.]
So the question was, after this first event, had the butterfly effect changed the course?
Since Bai Zihang ended up getting the Imperial Jade, would the second part of the plot still happen?
Su Chen wasn’t sure.
But what happened next left him dumbfounded.
After the Imperial Jade scene, Ye Xuan went to store no. 705 and spent one million on a raw stone. He then cut out jade worth seven million, causing a minor stir among the crowd.
Bai Zihang’s heart stirred. He decided to intercept again—not only because of the potential value, but because he just didn’t like Ye Xuan.
From the very first glance, he had found Ye Xuan unpleasant. Now, Ye Xuan’s show-stealing behavior made him even angrier.
Ye Xuan gave a wicked smile, as if he knew Bai Zihang was about to snatch his stone.
So, Ye Xuan walked over to the store’s most expensive stone and said to the boss, “Boss, this one is marked at 100 million, right? Can I take it for 90 million?”
The moment he said that and was about to press his fingerprint on the contract, Bai Zihang suddenly interrupted, “Boss, I want this stone. One hundred million! No bargaining!”
As soon as the words were out, Ye Xuan curled his lips into a smile—he knew the trap had worked!
Just then, Su Chen rushed out and collided with Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s hand had already pressed onto the contract.
And Su Chen’s voice rang out, “Young Master, this stone must not be bought!!”
That shout stunned the whole room!!
At this moment, one thought popped into everyone’s minds.
“This little brother is worth keeping—when something happens, he really steps up!!”
