Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Made a Small Goal
Back in the car, Chen Guanglei’s face still looked terrible.

He had come to the Jade Trading Center aiming to make a big profit.

But he hadn’t expected not only to fail to earn any money but to incur a huge loss instead.

The one million he’d brought was all spent, buying three pieces of raw jadeite.

The jadeite that was cut from them was worth eight million, which he lost to Xu Yang.

There was also the five million his father had given him that he lost.

That amounted to a loss of fourteen million.

The most crucial point was that he had done this to himself.

If he hadn’t provoked Xu Yang, wanting to put him down and insisting on gambling with him, none of this would have happened.

This gambling match was like Xu Yang slapping him with countless slaps, making his cheeks sting with hot pain.

After a brief silence, Chen Guanglei forced a smile and said to Zhao Yulu, “Yu Lu, I didn’t expect Xu Yang to be so lucky, actually managing to pick three raw stones with imperial green in them. Otherwise, I could have given you four hundred thousand out of the eight million I’d won.”

That’s what he had promised Zhao Yulu when he asked her to come.

He’d agreed to split any profits with Zhao Yulu, but now, of course, there was no money to give her.

Moreover, he had to explain to his father why he hadn’t made any money.

Of course, these were minor issues.

In any case, he just needed to say he misjudged and that was fine.

Five million, for his father—a billionaire—it was nothing at all.

“Is it really just good luck?” Zhao Yulu voiced her doubt.

In the past, she had never heard Xu Yang talk about gambling on stones.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

And Xu Yang’s family, too, did not have access to stone gambling.

That was something wealthy people indulged in.

So, she believed Xu Yang wouldn’t know about it.

Yet today, she started to doubt her own opinion.

Buying one or two pieces of raw jadeite by luck was plausible.

But getting three pieces, all containing imperial green and attributing it to luck, was somewhat far-fetched.

She still couldn’t figure out how Xu Yang could know about stone gambling.

“It must be good luck,” Chen Guanglei said gravely, “He comes from a small county town; he never had the chance to encounter stone gambling. How could he possibly be so accurate.”

Zhao Yulu didn’t respond, unsure of what to say.

Her mood had hit rock bottom.

If Chen Guanglei hadn’t gambled with Xu Yang, she could have received a share of the profit.

Unfortunately, Chen Guanglei had lost all the money.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It seemed Chen Guanglei had figured out what Zhao Yulu was thinking and said, “Yu Lu, I’m sorry, I brought you here to make money, but I’ve lost all my money. That five hundred thousand was also asked from my dad, and there’s no way I can ask him for money again anytime soon.”

This meant it was no longer possible to take Zhao Yulu to gamble on stones to make money.

Such opportunities did not come around every day.

Today, new raw stones had arrived at the Haicheng Jade Trading Center, making it relatively easier to select pieces with jadeite in them.

If they were to come another day, it would not be that easy.

He continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way for you to make money and help you pay off that one million debt.”

Zhao Yulu said, “Friends are already urging me to repay the money now, what other plan could you possibly have?”

Resentment lingered in her heart; if it weren’t for Chen Guanglei getting her to invest in Black Stone Tech stocks, she wouldn’t have lost three million.

Fortunately, two million of that was borrowed from her sister, Zhao Yuxin, which she didn’t have to pay back for the time being.

Even so, she still felt some dissatisfaction toward Chen Guanglei.

Chen Guanglei always said he could make money, but each time it fell through or resulted in a loss.

Chen Guanglei could only pluck up his courage and say, “Yu Lu, don’t be anxious. I’m still thinking; there must be a way.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Zhao Yulu nodded reluctantly, “Alright then.”

She felt Chen Guanglei was becoming more and more unreliable, but she had no choice but to trust him.

Otherwise, if she had to earn a million by herself, she didn’t know how long it would take.

Chen Guanglei’s eyes swiveled as he said, “Yu Lu, if you become my girlfriend, then your one million debt could easily be resolved. I can have my dad give you money right now, even two million would be fine.”

Zhao Yulu hadn’t expected Chen Guanglei to say such a thing at a time like this.

It stirred a surge of anger within her.

Last time, Chen Guanglei wanted her to be his girlfriend in exchange for overseeing ten billion in trust funds.

Now, he wanted to directly give her money to be his girlfriend again.

Although she was materialistic, wanting to make money and live a life of wealth and beauty, she still had her bottom line.

She would never sell herself for money.

The last time was already her limit.

And even then, she had hoped to agree to date for a while, then claim they were incompatible and break up.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

That would have been helpful for her career; if that plan had succeeded, she would have reached another level. Climbing up through her own efforts would have been much easier.

Unfortunately, Chen Guanglei was unreliable.

Now, agreeing to be Chen Guanglei’s girlfriend just for one or two million was something she could never accept.

Thinking this, Zhao Yulu said coldly, “Chen Guanglei, I hope you will not bring up such matters again in the future. If you have a way to make money, I’d be grateful, but if not, then let’s forget it.”

Sensing the change in Zhao Yulu’s tone, Chen Guanglei quickly said, “Yu Lu, don’t be angry, I won’t mention it again. I’ll think hard about other ways to make money.”

Zhao Yulu didn’t speak further.

Chen Guanglei changed the subject, “Yu Lu, according to our plan, next we’re going to…”

Before he could finish, Zhao Yulu interrupted, “Let’s not. I’m thinking of going back to Jiang City.”

On the way there, Chen Guanglei had said he would take Zhao Yulu to enjoy Haicheng for two days, with all the places to visit already planned out.

At the time, Zhao Yulu had agreed.

But now, Zhao Yulu was in no mood for fun.

Chen Guanglei said, “Yu Lu, you really don’t have to worry, I’m certain I can find a way to make money for you.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Zhao Yulu said, “We’ll talk when you find a way.”

Chen Guanglei, feeling helpless, could only take Zhao Yulu back to the hotel to check out and drive back to Jiang City.

On Xu Yang’s side.

He took Zhao Yuxin to a third party institution to retrieve the five million Chen Guanglei had lost, then strolled around the trading center to select some raw stones.

The jadeite he carved from those raw stones was all imperial green and altogether worth a staggering one billion.

Many people’s views toward Xu Yang had changed.

Some even said that Xu Yang was a jade stone gambling master.

There was no way around it, Xu Yang was too incredible.

All the raw stones he selected yielded jadeite, and all were imperial green.

No one claimed anymore that Xu Yang was choosing stones purely by luck.

Who could have such good luck?

Having made his modest goal, Xu Yang stopped there.

What he had done was already astonishing. If he kept selecting stones and carving out more imperial green to make a fortune, he might run into trouble.

After all, it was just like being in a casino.

It’s fine if you make a little money, but if you’re always winning, especially big money…

The jade trading center would start paying attention to you.

That’s what Tang Zhengqi had told him.

This path was not one where he could continue making a fortune indefinitely.

His previous idea of sweeping through the jade trading center was no longer feasible.

However, having made so much, Xu Yang was already very satisfied.

He had the system, and didn’t need to rely solely on this to make money. There were plenty of other opportunities to earn money in the future.

When Tang Zhengqi heard how incredible Xu Yang was, he looked at him as if he were looking at a monster.

He had selected a few raw stones himself, spending over a million, only to break even—essentially getting nothing for his efforts.

By five in the afternoon, the three of them left the jade trading center, had dinner together, and then parted ways.

The next day, Xu Yang spent the afternoon with Zhao Yuxin in Haicheng until five o’clock and then went back to Jiang City.
