Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Tricked Bad by Chu Chen, Private Financial Summit (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Chen Deyu felt utterly defeated.

Reality was just that cruel, making it hard to accept.

"It turns out I’m just a backup plan, no, even worse, just a tool."

Chen Deyu muttered to himself.

"I’m done being a pathetic lackey."

Chen Deyu shouted.

At this moment, he understood. He had been wrong before; this ride-hailing guy was actually looking out for him.

All at once, he was overwhelmingly grateful to Chu Chen.

Meanwhile, after making things clear with Chen Deyu, the seasoned manipulator turned around, intending to win over Chu Chen.

"Wait, where did that rich and handsome guy go?"

She turned around and was dumbfounded to find that the guy wearing a Patek Philippe was nowhere to be found?

Thinking for a moment, she guessed that he must have left when she and Chen Deyu parted.

Did she miss out just like that?

No way!

The seasoned manipulator wore a face full of regret; why hadn’t she come downstairs earlier?

If she had come down sooner, maybe she could have met that guy earlier, and he wouldn’t have left.

He was wearing a Patek Philippe, a rich and handsome guy for crying out loud!

"Move aside."

Chen Deyu stomped on the fallen roses, crushing them as he walked past the seasoned manipulator.

Watching Chen Deyu walk away without looking back, she felt like she had lost on all fronts.

Not only did she fail to snag that rich and handsome guy with the Patek Philippe, but she also lost her most useful "tool."

"No way."

She didn’t want to give up, so she ran in her high heels throughout the neighborhood, searching.

She looked for two whole hours and finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Naturally, Chu Chen didn’t want anything to do with this seasoned manipulator, so when he got the chance, he left immediately.

Since he had taken a lot of orders during the day, the system’s voice came early to tell him that he completed today’s experience task.

Chu Chen planned to head back to Tang Palace, and on the way, he happened to pass by the Sheng Tang Auction House.

Chu Chen parked the car, wanting to check it out.

Looking around, after the recent "Expert Scam on the Elderly" incident, the Shanghai branch of Sheng Tang Auction House had improved a lot after rectification.

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to leave, he happened to pass by "Jade Wonder."

Besides auctions, Sheng Tang Auction House also ran other businesses, and stone gambling was one of them.

After all, the auction circle is only so large, with limited profits, and the market had already been almost split up, so Sheng Tang Auction House naturally needed to diversify.

And Jade Wonder was where Sheng Tang Auction House did their stone gambling.

Chu Chen had seen it online before, but he hadn’t seen a stone gamble in person, so, curious, he went in.

Since it was his place, even if he gambled on stones and didn’t find any jade or emerald, it didn’t matter.

When Chu Chen entered, there were already many customers in Jade Wonder.

The place was medium-sized, with all sorts of stones for gambling in various shapes and sizes.

Shortly after Chu Chen entered, the manager of Jade Wonder found him.

"Hello, Mr. Chu."

Chu Chen nodded slightly and asked out of curiosity.

"Is there a good chance of getting top-quality jade from stone gambling?"

After scanning around and seeing there were no customers nearby, the manager answered Chu Chen truthfully, not daring to deceive him even a bit.

"Mr. Chu, to be honest, the odds of getting something good from stone gambling are minimal, maybe one in several thousand."

"If it were at the source, perhaps the chances would be higher."

"But in places like our stone gambling stores, the odds are very slim."

The manager of Jade Wonder told Chu Chen everything he knew:

"At the source location, once stones are dug from the pit, they get screened by the owner of the pit."

"They deal with stones day in, day out, with sharp insight, and these stones are screened by various experts to keep the good ones, and only the inferior ones are sold out."

"Once these stones are out, middlemen also send people to screen them and pick out the good ones."

"After being screened again and again, they’re sent here, with very little chance of finding good stuff."

Hearing this, Chu Chen understood.

Being here, he naturally wanted to try buying one or two stones; after all, it didn’t cost him anything if he lost out.

Chu Chen started looking around in Jade Wonder.

"Ah, even people like that can come here."

"What do these common folks know about elegance?"

As Chu Chen stood by a black stone, a scrawny young man with handsome jade Buddha beads showed off.

Hearing this, Chu Chen frowned and turned his head to look.

As Chu Chen looked away, the young man quickly grabbed the black stone Chu Chen had been eyeing; it had caught his fancy.

Holding the stone, he glanced provocatively at Chu Chen.

There’s no shortage of fools these days.

"There’s nothing inside that thing."

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.

"You think I’ll fall for that? Put that stone back," the young man sneered.

Chu Chen didn’t bother with him, casually taking two stones from the shelf.

"Cut these open."

Chu Chen told a staff member.

Seeing someone about to cut stones, a lot of customers gathered around to watch, including the young man.

The first stone was cut open, eliciting gasps of astonishment; it had something inside, and it wasn’t bad, easily worth hundreds of thousands.

The second one turned out even better than the first.

"Alright, I’ll buy all the stones here today."

Suddenly, Chu Chen’s words shocked everyone.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the young man woke from his shock.

This guy had just randomly picked two stones, both excellent.

Could it be that today’s batch of stones at Jade Wonder was also good?

Otherwise, why would he go crazy and buy them all?

To buy all these stones here, it would cost at least thirty million.

"I’ll buy them all too, I’ll offer forty million."

The young man spoke up.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Chu Chen seemed shocked too, and taking advantage of Chu Chen’s surprise, the young man quickly paid and closed the deal.

"Congratulations."

Chu Chen smiled and said to the young man.

Just now, Chu Chen was just setting a trap for the young man.

The manager at Jade Wonder had secretly told Chu Chen which stones were good.

To attract customers, Jade Wonder would secretly place a few good stones among them.

According to the manager, the stones Chu Chen opened were indeed good.

As for the others, probably only a few were decent.

Thump!

Seeing Chu Chen’s smile, the young man’s heart sank, realizing he’d been had.

"No."

Forty million, was his forty million just gone like that?

The young man felt utterly defeated, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.

Chu Chen simply smiled and left.

Returning to Tang Palace, Chu Chen received an invitation, inviting him to a private financial summit in Shanghai a few days later.

This financial summit would be attended by bigwigs and wealthy merchants from Shanghai.
