As soon as Guan Xiaoxue left, many staff members gathered around and asked, "Xiao Zhou, when did you get along with the eldest lady?"
"That's right, it's very tight-lipped. We don't know anything about it."
"Yes, if you become a senior executive in the future, don't forget us."
Zhou Zichen didn't expect that they would all misunderstand, and explained: "Guan Xiaoxue and I are barely friends, not what you think."
Everyone obviously didn't believe Zhou Zichen's words: "Xiao Zhou, you are not being kind. How can I flirt with you as a friend?"
"That's right, you still asked the eldest lady to have a candlelight dinner. Is the candlelight dinner just for ordinary friends to have together?"
Zhou Zichen explained it, but no one believed it, and Zhou Zichen was helpless.
Fortunately, General Manager Zhang came back soon: "Stop hanging around Brother Zhou, go do your own work."
The general manager is here, but no one is around Zhou Zichen anymore, so the county magistrate might as well take charge now.
Seeing everyone disperse, Manager Zhang also walked up and said, "Brother Zhou, come and play more when you have nothing to do. Let's have a meal, drink tea or something together."
Zhou Zichen knew as soon as he heard this that Manager Zhang had also misunderstood and wanted to explain, but he just asked him to come over to play, eat and drink tea. If he explained, wouldn't there be no money here?
Zhou Zichen could only say helplessly: "Okay, I still have to worry about General Manager Zhang today."
"What's the trouble? That kind of person is also a disaster if he stays in the hotel. I have to thank Brother Zhou for catching him out today, otherwise I don't know how long he will be a disaster in the hotel!" Manager Zhang said indignantly.
Zhou Zichen didn't know whether General Manager Zhang really didn't know about these things or was just pretending, but he didn't want to care about this matter. Guan Xiaoxue must have thought of these things and would naturally investigate.
"No thanks, Manager Zhang. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, I'll take you out!" General Manager Zhang said and walked out with Zhou Zichen.
The employees at the back also began to discuss, mostly about Zhou Zichen. The main content of the discussion was mainly focused on whether Zhou Zichen had chased Guan Xiaoxue or was being kept by Guan Xiaoxue.
Some people also said that Manager Zhang had never seen him so affectionate with Zhou Zichen before, but now that Zhou Zichen and Guan Xiaoxue are getting along, they have begun to show their attentiveness.
After leaving the hotel, Zhou Zichen returned to the hospital. The nurses in the hospital were quite responsible and played with Yaya.
Seeing that the nurse took good care of Yaya, Zhou Zichen felt relieved. He also made an agreement with a relatively clean restaurant outside to prepare some light and nutritious meals every day. Money is not an issue.
Now Zhou Zichen can't afford to eat hundreds of thousands per table, but he can still eat casually in ordinary restaurants.
The next day, Zhou Zichen found some time and went to the antique market to see if he could find anything. Although he had some money in his hand, it was not enough.
Zhou Zichen's goal is to let all the children in the orphanage live the same life as ordinary children. At least every meal must be nutritious. If they go to college in the future, they don't have to worry about tuition fees.
We want those children to feel at home.
Moreover, Zhou Zichen also has to make plans for himself. Everyone wants to live a good life. Although Zhou Zichen has never thought about living a life of wealth and luxury, he also hopes to be well-off, so he has to work hard to earn money.
It only takes about ten minutes to ride a motorcycle from the hospital to the Antique Street. When I arrived at the Antique Street, I first walked around the stalls outside. With the help of my eyes, I swept past them. As long as there was something with a wide open door, he could not escape it.
Eye.
I did see a few things with big doors in the middle, but the seller himself knew very well that the price he wanted was very high and there was no profit.
As we walked all the way to the end, there were more and more people, and people were shouting from time to time.
Zhou Zichen has been here before, it is a place specializing in stone gambling.
Gambling on stones is a very risky thing. One sword can lead to heaven and one can lead to hell. Maybe you look at it now and think that this rough stone is still worth 100,000. If you cut it down, it may become 500,000, or it may become 5,000 without anyone.
want.
Zhou Zichen is really interested in this, but he is still a little unsure, so he plans to take a look before talking about it.
Zhou Zichen looked at it for a long time and found that everything with jade inside seemed to have a light green color. The better the jade inside, the thicker the green.
This discovery made Zhou Zichen very happy.
You know, until now, there is no machine in the world that can see through the rough stone and see the situation inside. Everything can only rely on gambling.
With such ability, why are you worried about not being able to make a fortune?
Zhou Zichen was also itching to find a piece of rough stone to try, but most of the rough stones here were semi-finished materials and had been opened, and most of the conditions inside could be seen.
Although many of the materials will be gambled and only lose money, there are also many that do contain jade. However, these merchants charge higher prices than the other, and it is not certain whether they can make a profit.
Zhou Zichen looked around and asked a lot of prices, but he didn't make a move. The half-bet materials ranged from ten thousand to twenty thousand to hundreds of thousands.
"Young man, let's gamble on stones!" A man suddenly came up and asked.
Zhou Zichen took a look at the man. He was lean and lean, with a smile on his face and a piece of open material in his hand.
As soon as I saw this man, I felt a sense of vigilance in my heart. There are many people in the antique and stone gambling markets who use fake materials and imitations to deceive people who are new to the industry.
And since I am only in my twenties, this man probably thinks that he is a newbie in the industry and is trying to deceive him.
"Just take a look!" Zhou Zichen replied casually.
The man introduced himself: "My name is Zhou Sheng, and I am also an old player in this industry. I happen to have a good piece of material in my hand that I am ready to sell. I am very optimistic about it. I originally wanted to cut it myself, but someone at home is sick and I need money urgently, so I have to
I want stability and want to find someone to take action."
Before Zhou Zichen expressed his intention to buy it, Zhou Sheng raised the material in his hand and said, "Little brother, look, after this stone has been rubbed, you can already see jade here. It's made of ice. This is just a little bit of skin rubbed."
, you can already see the ice seeds, most likely it is a whole piece, and such a big piece can be sold for at least 600,000 yuan."
"I think my little brother has good luck. How about selling it to you for 100,000 yuan?"
Zhou Zichen looked at the piece of material and saw that it had indeed just been rubbed, and the jade had already been rubbed out. It was really made of ice. But with such a good material, if there were no tricks, no fool would take action.
Even if he takes action, it won't be for 100,000 yuan.
Zhou Zichen was about to refuse, but with the blessing of his eyesight, he discovered that the middle of the piece of material had been cut through, and the inside was white, indicating that it had been cut across, and no jadeite had been cut out at all.
But inside the other unopened half, there is a rich green color, which is at least of the ice variety. The entire back part is covered with it. As long as it is of the ice variety, it can really be sold for more than 300,000 yuan.
It would be disrespectful for Zhou Zichen to change hands for two hundred thousand yuan.
Zhou Zichen looked at it pretending to be a model for a while and said, "Brother Zhou, I've just started in the industry. Your material produces such good images. If you sell it to me for 100,000 yuan, it would be a bit of a loss."
Seeing that Zhou Zichen seemed to be taking the bait, Zhou Sheng quickly said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The old man at home is sick and needs money urgently. I would like to take a gamble, but I dare not risk the lives of my family members. I can only
Sold at a loss.”
Zhou Zichen nodded repeatedly: "Brother Zhou is really filial, so I will buy it, one hundred thousand, and I will transfer it to you."
Zhou Sheng's face was filled with joy: "Thank you, little brother. Let's go, do you want to transfer money via mobile phone or go to the bank?"
Zhou Zichen specially opened a mobile phone transfer for the sake of antiques. Although the daily limit is only 500,000, it is enough to cope with ordinary situations.
"Transfer money via mobile phone, Brother Zhou. Give me an account number and I will transfer it to you right away." Zhou Zichen said and opened the mobile APP and asked Zhou Sheng for his card number.
The transfer arrived quickly, and Zhou Sheng also gave the materials in his hand to Zhou Zichen.
At this moment, a big man passing by said angrily: "Zhou Sheng, you bastard, you come out to cheat again. Little brother, he has never bought real ingredients, you have been fooled."
Zhou Zichen looked at Zhou Sheng, but he hadn't said anything yet. Zhou Sheng had a grateful face just now, but now he had a cold face: "Betting on stones is just like antiques. It's all about eyesight, but there are no rules for return or exchange."
Zhou Zichen smiled slightly and said: "I don't want to retreat, I just want to ask where I can get rid of the stone."
Zhou Sheng and the big man were both stunned. It was obvious that Zhou Zichen had suffered a loss, but Zhou Zichen still laughed and wanted to unravel the stone.
This kid either has money at home and doesn't care about money, or he is afraid that Zhou Sheng will cause trouble for him. Anyone who can cheat here has no background at all and has various teachings. Although many of them can't get on the stage, they are still difficult to deal with.
Zhou Zichen asked again, and the big man said: "I can do it at my place. The original price is two hundred, and I will give you a discount, one hundred times."
"Thank you, brother!" Zhou Zichen knew that the big man gave him a discount because he saw that he had been fooled and felt sympathy for him.
"Little brother, come with me!"
The big man led Zhou Zichen to his shop. The big man was also in the rough stone business. There were a lot of rough stones in the shop, and there was a stone-breaking machine at the door.
Seeing Zhou Zichen being so calm, Zhou Sheng was also curious. Anyway, he was not afraid of Zhou Zichen and wanted to see Zhou Zichen's expression after untying the stone.
When people around saw someone unraveling the stone, they also gathered around to watch the fun. One knife would lead to poverty, another to rich, one to heaven, and one to hell. People who like to gamble on stones would like to see it.
Zhou Zichen has never cut stones, but he has used a cutting machine. The machine used to cut stones is actually a cutting machine.
Zhou Zichen cut directly along the line of fraud.
All white.
"Oh... I crossed it. The area where this material rubbed performed very well. I thought it would go up!"
"What's the point of gambling? Didn't you see that it was sold by Zhou Sheng? Can Zhou Sheng have the real thing? It would be weird if he didn't buy it."
"Then you still come to see me?"
Those who smiled and said: "Watch the fun!"
Zhou Sheng looked at it but was secretly surprised. The place where Zhou Zichen cut it happened to be the place where he had cheated. Was this a coincidence, or had Zhou Zichen noticed it a long time ago?
Zhou Zichen threw away the side where the ice was wiped out. It was full of white mist and there was nothing there.
Zhou Zichen began to wipe the untouched half of the back.
"It's definitely out of the question!"
"I think so. It's probably just a few ice seeds inside, so the money is wasted."
