"OK."
Gabriel Chen words made Selena Su excited, and said: "In this way, if you choose this material and you can get a better quality product than mine, not only will you not have to pay for it, I will give you a one million bet!"
"But if you lose, how about disappearing from Celeste forever and not pestering her again?"
"Selena..."
"good!"
As a result, Gabriel Chen directly interrupted Celeste Ye and nodded in agreement.
Celeste Ye stared at Gabriel Chen with her beautiful eyes, her lips parted, and finally she sighed...
"Gu, take these two ingredients and open them!"
Immediately, Selena Su called a manager and took the rough stone she selected and the rough stone selected by Chen Hao to the cutting stone area. There happened to be two special cutting machines that were not working, so they put them directly in for cutting...
"Doctor Chen, right? It's still too late for you to regret it."
Selena Su glanced at Gabriel Chen with charming eyes, and smiled proudly: "I don't want to bully you, a stone gambler."
"Need not."
Gabriel Chen had no expression on his face and stood aside waiting for the result.
When those stone betting enthusiasts saw them betting, they also gathered around to watch the excitement. They pointed at Gabriel Chen and expressed contempt for him...
It's not good to play with anyone, but playing stone gambling with Linhai City Stone Gambling Queen is simply asking for death.
"Celeste, do you see that for such a self-righteous man, you should break off the engagement with him as soon as possible!"
Selena Su Caiyun, who was beside Celeste Ye , whispered, full of contempt and disdain for Gabriel Chen.
Even Celeste Ye eyebrows, feeling that Gabriel Chen was too blindly confident.
After all, Selena Su is a professional in stone gambling.
"Mr. Hua, the rough stone you picked has gone up in price!"
As soon as the water-cutting machine over there stopped, the manager Gu took out the cut piece of rough stone, revealing that it had a fine and smooth texture, excellent planting water, and emerald green floating flowers. At first glance, it was high-quality jadeite.
"As I expected, he barely reached the Ice Seed level!"
Selena Su couldn't help but feel proud when she saw that she had picked out the rough stone and found the Ice Seed jade material.
"She is worthy of being the Queen of Stone Gambling. She has such a sharp eye. Any ingredient she comes up with is of Ice Seed level..."
People around her praised Selena Su with all kinds of compliments without hesitation, which made her even more proud. She looked sideways at Gabriel Chen and smiled softly: "Doctor Chen, you should admit defeat."
Gabriel Chen looked calm and ignored her completely.
This made Selena Su feel like beating cotton with her fists, and she was very angry.
Soon another machine stopped, and the manager Gu went up, took out the materials and looked at the cutting stone surface. His expression was shocked...
"Gu, how's it going?"
Selena Su asked: "Is it green? Is it a bean seed? Is there nothing there?"
Gu turned his head, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Hua, the flowers are blooming... they are blooming, you should see for yourself..."
After saying that, she came over and handed the original stone to Selena Su, and she also noticed that something was wrong with Gu expression. She took the original stone and looked at the cut surface. It was rich and deep green, with delicate texture and full seed water, revealing a green light.
And there are no cracks or defects at all. It can be called the best glass jadeite!
"This...how is this possible?"
Selena Su pretty face froze, dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
"What a beautiful jade..."
Curious Celeste Ye came forward to take a look. Even if she didn't understand, she could tell that the jadeite that Gabriel Chen chose from this rough stone was even better than Selena Su's.
"Hey, this is probably at the level of glass, and it's also a good product in good condition..."
When the stone gambling enthusiasts onlookers saw it, they all exclaimed, and it immediately became lively.
Selena Su, who came back to his senses, had an unnatural expression on his face, and looked at Gabriel Chen with a strange look in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would get punched in the eye this time!
"Selena, you lose."
Celeste Ye beautiful eyes shone, and she didn't expect Chen Hao to win...
"Humph, it's just bad luck."
Selena Su snorted in dissatisfaction, thinking that Gabriel Chen must have been lucky and had his own eyesight, which allowed him to win.
"Do you dare to bet with me again?"
Unwilling to be reconciled, Selena Su challenged Gabriel Chen and said, "Let's each choose the rough stone. Whoever has the higher quality will win."
"I will increase the bet by five million this time. Your conditions are still the same. If you lose, you will disappear from Celeste forever!"
"Ah…"
Gabriel Chen chuckled.
Since this stinky and arrogant woman was giving away money for free, why not do it? I nodded and agreed on the spot.
Seeing Selena Su and Gabriel Chen starting to pick rough stones to bet again, Celeste Ye sighed helplessly...
"Mr. Hua, yours is the Nuozhong grade!"
"His is a high-grade Ice Seed!"
Gu said fearfully while holding the second rough stone they each selected.
"What, how is that possible?"
Selena Su was shocked and screamed regardless of the image.
The onlookers around him were even more surprised, their eyes looking at Gabriel Chen completely changed.
"I don't believe it. I will continue to bet with you. This time I will increase the bet by 10 million!"Selena Su gritted his teeth and shouted, refusing to admit defeat.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you!"Gabriel Chen chuckled nonchalantly.
So the two of them each picked a rough stone and cut it. As a result, Gabriel Chen got another glass-type jadeite this time, while Selena Su only got an Ice Seed type jadeite.
"Again... lost again...!"
The spectators stared in disbelief at Selena Su, who had lost three rounds in a row, and looked at Gabriel Chen in disbelief. They debated: "Is this guy pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and is he a secret stone gambling expert?"
At this time, Selena Su face was greener than the emperor's green, and she stared at Gabriel Chen with foxy eyes, feeling extremely angry.
Celeste Ye asked in surprise: "Gabriel Chen, do you know how to bet on stones?"
"No."Gabriel Chen shook his head.
"Impossible. If you don't know how to bet on stones, how can you continuously produce high-quality jadeite? You are obviously just faking it!"Selena Su was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he pointed angrily at Gabriel Chen and gritted his teeth.
After three bets, she lost sixteen million!
Seeing her friend gnashing her teeth in anger made Celeste Ye cover her mouth and smile.
But when she looked at Gabriel Chen, her eyes became more appreciative. She didn't expect this guy to bet on stones.
"No, let's bet again, I don't believe you..."
"Sorry, I have to go back."
As a result, Gabriel Chen waved his hand to interrupt her, looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and said, "Do you want to take back these jadeite stones I opened?"
The first and third ones are of glass type, the second one is of Ice Seed, and the last two are very big and in very good condition.
Even Selena Su rarely sees three jadeite rough stones of such excellent quality in a row.
"Take it, I will give it to you according to the fair market price of jade!"
Selena Su became even more angry when she saw that he was unwilling to bet again, and said unwillingly: "But next time, you must bet with me again, and we must win!"
"Let's talk about it next time."
Chen Hao waved his hand, pointed at the Ice Seed jade raw stone, and said: "Please cut this raw stone into a jade plate with a thickness of one centimeter and a length of 12 centimeters and give it to me. Cut it into four pieces!"
Watching Gabriel Chen cut the Ice Seed jade stone into small jade pendants, many jade business bosses felt sad when they saw it, thinking that he wasted a waste of a top-quality Ice Seed jade stone...
"The bet is 16 million, plus the two glass raw materials recycled, the total is 12 million, the total is 28 million, this is the check..."Selena Su was bold and cheerful, wrote the check and handed it over To Gabriel Chen.
"Thanks…"
Of course he was not polite, he took the check and pocketed it, and would go to the bank to handle it tomorrow...
Although he had never seen so much money, Gabriel Chen didn't have any fluctuations in his heart at this time, but was very calm.
This made Selena Su and Celeste Ye notice something unusual!
Ordinary people who suddenly had so much money would be so excited that they would tremble all over and become incoherent. How could he be so calm and calm?
"I'm going back first. I'll go there tomorrow to give you acupuncture treatment. You should go back early."
Gabriel Chen said to Celeste Ye, turned around and went downstairs.
Celeste Ye looked at his figure coming downstairs and said with a happy smile: "He is good at medicine and betting on stones. He surprises me more and more!"
Selena Su frowned and hummed: "I will definitely win it back next time!"
"Giggle..."
Celeste Ye covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, glanced at her with her beautiful eyes, picked out a good jade pendant for Laura, and then went back...
