Chapter 237: Chapter 234 Jade Stone Conference (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Hei the third gnashed his teeth.

Just now, to prevent Ye Chen and Li Rongrong from backing out, he called over the surrounding neighbors.

But unexpectedly, he lifted a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

Ye Chen actually found the most expensive treasure in his shop.

If he doesn’t give it, his reputation is gone.

If he gives it, it’s like giving away his heart and soul.

"Little brother, can we have a discussion? Give Third Master some face?"

Ye Chen sneered coldly, "Face? Do I know you well? Why should I give you face?"

A vicious glint flickered in Hei the third’s eyes.

He was thinking about how he could renege on his debt to Ye Chen, after all, he couldn’t let this Zisha teapot go no matter what.

"Kid, you’d better think it through. On this street, who dares not to give me, Hei the third, face?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Sorry, but I just don’t feel like it. If you want to do it, hand over the Zisha teapot honestly; if not, hand it over and get out of Taobao Street."

Hearing Ye Chen’s domineering words, Hei the third’s face became tense.

"Kid, you have quite the nerve. Just you? You think you can kick me out of Taobao Street?" Hei the third said gloomily.

"Hei the third, own up to your bet and accept your loss. I advise you to give the Zisha teapot to President Ye immediately, or get out of Taobao Street." A young man walked in at this moment.

"President Li, you..."

Seeing Li Kun, Hei the third was dumbfounded.

Li Kun is the manager of Taobao Street, and usually, the two of them have a good relationship.

But today, Li Kun was actually speaking in favor of an outsider.

Li Kun said coldly, "Do you know who Mr. Ye is? He’s the second-largest shareholder of our Taobao Street. Figure out what you’re going to do yourself."

Upon hearing Li Kun’s words, Hei the third was completely dumbfounded.

He had heard that a treasure appraisal expert had emerged in Taobao Street recently, Mr. Ye.

It was said that even the famously reputable Fourth Master of Taobao Street was toppled by him.

Now, to think that he had also offended this guy.

"So it’s President Ye. I failed to recognize your importance. I accept the loss; this Zisha teapot is yours."

Hearing Ye Chen’s identity, Hei the third dared not have any more bad ideas.

Even the Fourth Master was brought down by Ye Chen, not to mention himself.

Going against Ye Chen would be courting death for himself.

Ye Chen and Li Rongrong left Hei the third’s shop with the Zisha teapot.

Li Rongrong laughed, "You really have sharp eyes. None of us thought the most expensive treasure would be in Hei the third’s hands."

"Who told that guy to try to cheat my woman, serves him right."

"Hey, since when did I become your woman?" Li Rongrong complained.

Ye Chen laughed, "Sooner or later, you will be."

Li Rongrong gave Ye Chen a sweet smile, "That depends on whether you have the capability?"

As the two talked, they arrived in front of an ancient-looking building on Taobao Street.

On the building, three large characters were written: Jade Pavilion.

Li Rongrong introduced, "This Jade Pavilion is the largest jade trading venue in Modu. On the first floor are finished jade pieces, while the second floor sells rough stones."

Ye Chen followed Li Rongrong to the second floor.

Because of the jade conference, the Jade Pavilion was bustling with people today.

This time, to prepare for the jade conference, the owner of Jade Pavilion had brought in a large number of rough stones from Myanmar and Yun Province.

Ye Chen and Li Rongrong had just gone upstairs when a young man in his twenties wearing a red outfit and sunglasses strutted over like a cat.

Originally, Ye Chen thought the other party was a woman, but when he opened his mouth, Ye Chen was taken aback.

"Rongrong, so you also came to participate in the jade conference."

Turns out the person is a man.

Seeing the young man, Li Rongrong couldn’t help but frown.

Chen Yu is also a jade expert in Modu.

For the past few years, Chen Yu has been interested in Li Rongrong, but Li Rongrong has no interest in Chen Yu at all.

The main reason is that although Chen Yu is very good at gambling stones, he is quite effeminate.

Every time Chen Yu talks to someone, it gives them goosebumps.

"Boss Chen, I heard that you’ve brought in a lot of jade this time for the gambling stone conference, so I came to take a look."

After all, since Chen Yu initiated the greeting, it would be too disrespectful for Li Rongrong not to respond.

Chen Yu giggled, covering his mouth, "Haha, you’re in luck this time. I heard that the Jade Pavilion brought in a lot of good stuff this time. Let me take you to pick some."

Looking at Chen Yu’s actions, Ye Chen felt nauseated.

My goodness, how can a man be so effeminate?

Li Rongrong and Ye Chen shared the same feeling, "President Chen, you go ahead with your business, my friend and I will just have a look around."

Chen Yu then turned his gaze towards Ye Chen, who was beside Li Rongrong.

Immediately, he looked as if he had swallowed a lemon.

"Oh my, Rongrong, who’s this handsome young man? Is he your kept man?"

These words were sour and unpleasant.

Ye Chen hadn’t planned on stooping to his level, but this guy dared call him a kept man, and Ye Chen couldn’t stand it.

"Who are you calling a kept man, you androgynous fool? I’m getting girls based on my own merits."

Despite his effeminate demeanor, Chen Yu hates it when others call him effeminate the most.

"Kid, who are you calling androgynous, looking for trouble, aren’t you?"

"Chen Yu, Ye Chen is my friend. If you dare to touch him, you’re making an enemy of me." Li Rongrong said angrily.

Chen Yu frowned. He still wanted to chase Li Rongrong, so he didn’t want to make things too awkward.

He looked at Ye Chen with resentment, "Kid, just you wait."

Ye Chen sneered, deliberately holding Li Rongrong’s hand as they walked into the jade market.

Li Rongrong’s face blushed, but she didn’t refuse.

Behind them, Chen Yu’s face was so grim it seemed about to drip water.

Li Kun whispered on the side, "Chen Yu, Mr. Ye is not someone you can afford to mess with. You’d better not have any bad ideas."

Chen Yu snorted coldly, "Humph, look at his demeanor. Today, us—I mean, this young master—is going to show him who’s the real King Bi in this jade market."

Li Kun: "..."

He had a feeling that Chen Yu was going to have a bad day today.

Ye Chen and Li Rongrong walked into the rough stone area.

At this moment, the bell rang, and the rough stone auction began.

Ye Chen and Li Rongrong walked into the auction hall.

Not far away, Chen Yu also walked in with a gloomy face.

At this time, there was a piece of rough stone on the table.

An auctioneer smiled and said, "This is the last piece of rough stone today, and also the most valuable one, with a starting price of three million."

Chen Yu glanced at Ye Chen and said mockingly, "Kid, this piece of rough stone is just three million, dare to play a round?"

Ye Chen’s gaze turned to the rough stone.

[Ding, Master of Dushi skill activated!]

No one noticed the golden hue that flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

He could actually see inside the rough stone.

Wow, this is awesome.

Soon, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Alright, if you like to play, I’ll accompany you!"

Saying this, Ye Chen raised his hand, "Three million."

The host smiled, "Mr. Ye bids three million."

Chen Yu snorted, "What a pauper, trying to win the stone without raising even a cent?"

Sure enough, someone soon outbid, and the price of the stone quickly rose to six million.

Chen Yu glanced at Li Rongrong, "Rongrong, today I will show you the gap between nouveau riche and true aristocracy. I’m determined to get this stone."

With that, Chen Yu raised his paddle, "I bid eight million!"
