The Liu Family's stone gambling qualification event has officially begun.
In the center of the stage, piles of raw stones were gathered, numbering in the hundreds.
The contestants could only select one raw stone from among these hundreds.
In the end, the person whose raw stone reveals the highest jadeite value will represent the Liu Family at the Jade Public Auction; the rule is very straightforward.
Although Liu Xue holds considerable power in the company, within the Liu Family, it's always Mrs. Liu Sr. who calls the shots, who is Liu Xue's grandmother.
"Start!" Mrs. Liu Sr. sat in the main seat, smiling and signaling the beginning.
Following her signal, the eligible younger members of the Liu Family started selecting raw stones.
The chosen representative for this round would follow Chongteng, making a contribution to the Liu Family and enhancing his own resume.
If the Liu Family achieves a major success at the auction, then in the future, whether working or starting a business, they would have the full support of the Liu Family. It's an advantageous opportunity.
Therefore, the third generation of juniors in the Liu Family are racking their brains to win this chance to represent the family at the auction.
However, unbeknownst to them, the slot has been predetermined.
Sure enough, as it started, Liu Qingsong walked straight to a raw stone, picked it up, and ran.
Ye Feng took a look, the raw stone was indeed good, and it was a half-windowed stone with a nice piece of jadeite inside.
Barring any exceptions, Liu Qingsong was sure to win.
But Ye Feng was the exception.
After a cold laugh, Ye Feng walked toward the pile of raw stones, hoping luck would lead him to even better jadeite.
Seeing Ye Feng preparing to participate, Liu Xue quickly stopped him, frowning, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to go?"
"I want to give it a try!" Ye Feng responded calmly and resolutely.
"I refuse to deal with you anymore." Liu Xue turned her head away in anger.
Ye Feng walked toward the pile of raw stones without hesitation.
"Huh? Isn't that the Liu Family's useless son-in-law? Why is he going up too?"
"It's really strange. Since when does someone who's only good at cooking and housekeeping gamble with stones?"
"This is obviously going to make a fool of himself, doesn't he know what they're saying?"
….
With Ye Feng's appearance, everyone started mocking dismissively.
Liu Xue's mother, Jin Er, was talking with others, and upon hearing the people's discussions, she immediately got angry and stormed toward Ye Feng, scolding, "Disgraceful thing, who let you go up there?"
"Get down, is this a place for you? Listen to what others are saying. You've utterly disgraced us, and you can't accomplish anything."
"Mom, why can't I come?" Ye Feng frowned slightly, asking with some displeasure, "I have that right, and no one can take it away."
"Fine… fine… if you make us lose face later, don't say you're the Liu Family's son-in-law." After saying harshly, Jin Er walked away in a fury.
"You damn well have the guts to show up?" Seeing Ye Feng actually on stage, Liu Qingsong laughed promptly.
"When cheaters dare to show up, what's there for me not to dare?" Ye Feng coldly snorted, showing disdain.
"What the hell are you talking about? Who's cheating? Make yourself clear." Liu Qingsong became irate following Ye Feng's words.
Ye Feng calmly questioned, "I didn't even mention you, why so excited? Could it be that you cheated too?"
"You…" Liu Qingsong was rendered speechless with rage.
And Ye Feng turned away, leaving with a contemptuous remark, "Afraid of cheating and still losing, now that would be hilarious."
With that, he ignored Liu Qingsong and started selecting raw stones.
Among these raw stones, some had excellent appearances, promising high-quality jadeite extraction.
But often, such stones have very high stakes and can result in major losses.
Sure enough, as Ye Feng activated his X-ray Vision, he clearly saw that these well-looking raw stones had poor jadeite inside, if any at all.
Utilizing his X-ray Vision, Ye Feng also examined the raw stones others selected.
For some reason, each of these guys' raw stones contained jadeite of considerable quality.
It seems no one wants their son to lose face, so they each used their Divine Power to select good stones.
Of course, none could compare to Liu Qingsong's stone, the one he held boasted a sizeable piece of high-end jadeite.
To beat him, Ye Feng had to find a stone with even higher-grade jadeite, and it couldn't be small.
"Is this?" Quickly, Ye Feng locked onto a target.
If this jade comes out, what's left for Liu Qingsong?
So, Ye Feng picked up the raw stone.
This raw stone looked very ordinary, like a stone stump.
However, the jadeite inside was not to be underestimated.
"Why did that useless son-in-law come? And picked such a stone, is this not a joke?" Seeing the stone in Ye Feng's hand, Mrs. Liu Sr.'s peaceful smile instantly faded.
"Liu Xue, control your man, see how he's angered your grandma," Liu Xue's second aunt angrily scolded seeing Mrs. Liu Sr.'s outburst, "How on earth could you pick such a useless man for a husband?"
"I say, this marriage should be ended as soon as possible, right mom?"
Following Liu Xue's second aunt's words, others chimed in, adding to the commotion.
"Exactly, what's good about such a spineless man? Really puzzles me how you picked him."
"Look, out of so many stones, he picked a broken stone stump, does he have a bubble on the brain?"
….
Facing these elders' unpleasant remarks, Liu Xue replied coldly and unhappily, "My family matters require no meddling from my aunts."
"Forget it! Since he wants to be laughed at, let's indulge him," Mrs. Liu Sr. responded indifferently, noticing everyone had selected their raw stones, then signaled, "Let's start the stone cutting!"
Following Mrs. Liu Sr.'s words, everyone carried their stones in front of the Stone Cutting Machine, cutting them in sequence.
Seeing Ye Feng holding a broken stone stump, everyone laughed, wearing expressions waiting for a joke.
"I told you not to go on stage, but you wouldn't listen. Becoming a laughingstock now, aren't you?" Liu Xue came to Ye Feng's side and complained unhappily.
"A joke?" Ye Feng chuckled, revealing a profound expression, "Nothing's cut out yet, who knows if it's a joke or a miracle?"
Meanwhile, Ye Feng looked at those around him waiting for a laugh coldly.
These people all wanted to laugh at Ye Feng, but would Ye Feng let them have their way?
By then, they'll be quite shocked, and who knows how spectacular their expressions will be.
Especially Liu Qingsong, who was predetermined to win.
In the end, unable to win at all, will he be jumping in rage?
