"Hey, guy, you wanna hit and run?"an old man whined, falling down beside a young guy suddenly and holding the guy's trousers tightly with both hands outside a shopping mall in Ziyang City.
"Oh, shit." Wang Feng looked at this old man and knew that he would be blackmailed. He did not even touch him. Wang Feng watched a lot of blackmail events on TVs, so an idea occurred to his mind. Thus, he also fell down on the ground.
"Ouch, are you blind? Give me some money as compensation." Wang Feng whined constantly, attracting many people's attentions. This even made the old man stare at him.
Obviously, it never occurred to him that he would meet his counterpart here. This guy seemed to be honest. The old man never expected such a move.
"Little boy, are you sure you wanna do that?"The old man whispered and threatened.
"I can tell you that I only have ten dollars in my pocket. If you wanna blackmail, I do not have any more cash. I'll never be afraid of anything since I've got nothing to lose. There are security cameras here, let's see what you can do once policemen arrive." Wang Feng said proudly.
"Then give me ten dollars. Be quick." The old man pushed and said.
Ten dollars was better than nothing. The old man also knew that he was being in the wrong, so he wanted to escape right after getting some money.
"Get the money and let it burn for you." Wang Feng took out ten dollars out of his pocket and slashed these cash onto the old man's faces.
"Uh, lucky for you today." The old man stopped pretending after getting ten dollars. He crawled up and vanished in the crowd in a short moment.
"So ridiculous, you may find it not easy to get my money. " Wang Feng stretched out his fingers after the old man left. It was a green-orange jade pendant in his hand. He took it out from the old man's pocket when he was not paying attention. If it was not the case, how could Wang Feng give him any money?
He wondered where the old man stole for this pendant. It was always a good deal that ten dollars was exchanged for a pendant.
Holding the pendant, Wang Feng laughed proudly and walked through the crowd into the shopping mall.
But after walking not so afar, he suddenly felt shocked on the head and directly fainted to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Wang Feng fainted, neaby passersby were shocked. Afraid of being blackmailed, some people even walked far away.
Wang Feng could no longer hear others. At this moment, he only felt that he was having a really long dream. He dreamed of standing up high in the sky and enjoyed the entire world's worship, highly spirited and vigorously, even more arrogant than the emperor.
But the dream did not last for so long. Wang Feng woke up soon. He opened his eyes, seeing that several people were around him with a caring look on their faces.
"Finally you are awake. Wait for a second. We have already called you an ambulance." Seeing Wang Feng awake, a middle-aged women said gently.
"Thanks. I am fine now." Wang Feng said, quickly crawling up from the ground. Finally he vanished in the crowds.
You had to pay if you were going to the hospital. Now he only had no more than 2,000 dollars. If he went to the hospital, he might die from the expense of treatment.
Now a hospital was a place where money could be burned to none.
Putting his hands into pocket, he was so relieved that the pendant was still there. Now he was working in a small company with monthly salary of no more than 3,000 dollars. No much money would be left after the daily expenses were deducted from his salary, so when Wang Feng saw a jewelry store not so afar, he directly walked into the store without any hesitation.
"Waiter, where is your manager? I would like to sell this pendant." Wang Feng said, drawing many people's attentions.
"Please kindly wait." Hearing Wang Feng, a waitress said. Then she asked their store manager to come out.
"If you really want to sell the pendant, we would like to pay 20,000 dollars. What do you think?" The store manager took a look at his pendant and said.
"Then let's call it 20,000 dollars." The pendant was stolen for free. Let alone 20,000 dollars, he would certainly sell the pendant even for 10,000 dollars.
At last, the deal was done. Wang Feng took 20,000 dollars, secretly chuckling to himself in his heart. That old man would never expect that ten dollars that he cheated would cause such huge losses.
If we would like to know who made the most profits, it was surely the store manager. The pendant was made from superior jade. The store manager thought that Wang Feng was not an expert, so he only paid for 20,000 dollars. To his surprise, Wang Feng accepted the deal.
"What is happening over there?" Holding 20,000 dollars, Wang Feng origianlly intended to leave here. But after walking for a few steps, he felt nervous suddenly because he found that there were many people on the other side of the jewelry store.
Everybody wished to watch the scene of bustle in China, so did Wang Feng.
"What the ***, I've wasted 5,000 dollars again." A man yelled. As he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man yelled loudly at two pieces of broken stones in front of him.
Oh... It was a gamble on stones.
Jade was cut from stones. Now this jewelry store was selling jade stones that were dug up not long ago. It attracted many residents and friends to take their chances.
Wang Feng ever watched TV programs about gamble on stone, but gambling on stone never occurred to him because it was nothing but losing money in his eyes. He thought that the chance of winning a prize was similar to that of buying a lottery.
"Miss, you really have a good taste." There came screaming. Wang Feng looked up there, seeing a pretty lady successfully cut out a thumb-sized jade. It made many residents so jealous.
Jade is quite valuable. Though this pretty lady only cut out a thumb-sized jade, if it was made into ornament, it would be more valuable.
Only this jade would be probably worth tens of thousands of dollars.
With his eyes on these original stones, Wang Feng was a bit touched. After all, ordinary people always had fantasy that they would hit the jackpot, so did Wang Feng. If he could cut out a jade, couldn't he become a rich man overnight?
"Mmmm? What's this?" Looking at this original stone, Wang Feng suddenly felt so confused that he even startled himself.
Soon green color appeared in Wang Feng's sight. Widening his eyes, he unexpectedly saw the jade right inside this original stone.
Moving backward for a few steps, Wang Feng almost fell down on the ground. "What on earth is going on? How Could I see the scenes inside the original stone?"
Remembering the scene that he fainted before, Wang Feng stared his eyes even more open. Did the scene that I fainted endow me with certain clairvoyant ability?
With great surprise, Wang Feng spent 6,000 dollars on that original stone of jade that he preferred.
"Lady, could you do me a favor?" Holding the stone, Wang Feng walked towards the pretty lady who cut out jade and asked.
"Sure." Looking at Wang Feng, the pretty lady was a little surprised, but still did Wang Feng this small favor.
Very quickly, the original stone was cut off, showing a palm-sized jade. Nearby crowds all stared their eyes with great surprise. Even the pretty lady who cut the stone could not believe that this guy could cut out such a large jade from the stone he selected.
What... What good luck.
Actually, it was Wang Feng who had felt the most incredulous. For himself, he actually did possess the clairvoyant ability. At this moment, as if being in a dream, he was in a state of trance.
"What had happened?" The manager of the jewelry store walked up at this moment.
However, when seeing the cut-out jade which was of that big size, he was still taken aback and asked, "Whose jade is it?"
"Mine." Wang Feng replied.
"It's you again." Staring at Wang Feng, the store manager was extremely surprised. But he promptly opened his mouth and spoke, "Don't cut the stone any further. I am willing to offer a price of 200,000 dollars for this jade stone. What do you think?"
"200,000 dollars?" Upon hearing that, Wang Feng was pretty startled. Could it be that his luck in making money was coming?
"What a joke it is. Only via simply 200,000 dollars did he intend to purchase the jade at that big size. Young man, don't listen to his bullshit. I would like to offer a price of 500,000 dollars for this stone. We can make the deal right away." At that moment, a middle-aged man who was fond of collecting jades sneered and said.
"Well..."
"600,000 dollars!"
"700,000 dollars!" The store manager and the middle-aged man actually argued about this point, which had made Wang Feng open his eyes wide.
Though having done his best to fight hard for so long a time, he could only be able to save over 2,000 dollars. Now a jade could actually be sold out at such a high price, which truly meant that he could get rich then.
After intense bargaining, it was the manager of the jewelry store who was much more generous. He ended up offering a high price of 800,000 dollars to buy the jade stone which Wang Feng had taken a fancy to.
His card account now had an additional 800,0000 dollars deposit instantly. Wang Feng did feel that he was in a dream. This income came a bit too easily, didn't it?
Upon getting his money, Wang Feng did not stay here any longer. He dragged the beauty who had helped him cut the jade stone and took their leave together.
"Thanks for helping me cut the jade stone. I would like to invite you for dinner." Wang Feng looked at the beauty, with a smile filling all over his face.
"Alright." Perhaps out of being curious about Wang Feng's keen eyes, this beauty accepted his invitation joyfully.
They came to a fast-food restaurant inside the mall and ordered two sets of fast food. Then they sat down.
"I still don't know what your name is, beauty?"
"My name was Bei Yunxue, what about you?" This beauty answered.
"Wang Feng." Wang Feng gave his name out.
"I am a little curious. How did you find out there had been a jade inside the stone?" Bei Yunxue's vision was fully filled with confusion. She was consequently extremely curious over Wang Feng.
"If I said that I had just made a random guess, would you believe me?" Finding it a bit funny, Wang Feng replied.
"Yes, I would." Bei Yunxue nodded, which made Wang Feng feel confused for a while. "Originally, gambling on stones is about being lucky. You could come to work at my jewelry shop if you'd like to. What do you think?"
"Do you also run a jewelry shop?" Wang Feng was a bit surprised.
"Yes." Bei Yunxue nodded and then said later, "My store is located in Zhu Hai City. The reason why I came here this time was to buy some superior jades. Just a moment ago, I had intended to buy your jade. But somebody else has snatched it away." The bitter smile filled all over Bei Yunxue's face.
"Then I wonder what kinds of benefits do you offer?" To Wang Feng, possessing the clairvoyant ability was equal to having a path to the fortune enveloped to him. So he actually did not intend to refuse this offer.
"If you held the position of the chief jewelry appraiser in our jewelry shop, I could offer you an annual salary of 5000,000 dollars. What do you think?" The eye of the beauty was pretty aggressive. Even Wang Feng could not help swallowing.
5000,000 dollars... This was an astounding fortune which Wang Feng had never dared to think of.
"Then what if I were not that lucky enough?"
"Then I would have no choice but to accept the loss. I believe that you will always have a good fortune." With a smile all over her face, Bei Yunxue did not look like to recreate herself with other people.
"If it were true, then I could say yes to you. But I still have a bit of my own personal affairs to take care of. Kindly give me some time."
"No problem." Bei Yunxue nodded and then exchanged a contact method with Wang Feng.
Not having enough time to finish the fast food, Wang Feng left here straightly.
With the 815,000 dollars which he had earned on his own, Wang Feng went back to his company. It was conceivable that how splendid the expressions of people inside the company were when he threw his resignation letter upon the face of his superior who was a hag.
"You have been always been reproaching my poor accomplishments here, have not you? Now you don't need to chase me away. I quit!" Wang Feng's voice was loud, which had plunged the whole company into a veil of silence.
It was quite obvious that all had not expected that Wang Feng would be that awesome. How come they had not found it out previously?
"Do you know whom you are talking to? Do you want me to dock your salary?" The look of the hag was pretty cold. She roared in low voice.
"As for my little wage, you can use them to buy some medicines. Better if you could take the medicines to death, you yellow-faced woman." Wang Feng swore violently and then ran away quickly.
"Ah! I am going to kill you, you bastard!" There came the angry roaring voice of his hag superior from behind, which had made the whole building practically tremble.
But Wang Feng had no time to pay attention to her. If it had not been for the fact that he could not find other jobs, he would not have been bullied here. Now since there was a job which was at a high salary of 5000,000 dollars waiting for him, there was no reason for him to snuggle up here, which was also the same with whoever else.
"High salary job, I am coming!"
Because of the fact that Wang Feng's hometown was not here, so he had nothing to pack up after leaving the company. He instead straightly took a plane with Bei Yunxue and left for Zhu Hai City. Then again the college which Wang Feng had attended was by the side of Zhu Hai City. It had never occurred to him that he would go back here again one day.
The economic power of Zhu Hai City was far stronger than that of Zi Yang City, which could even be ranked within the top ten positions. It was actually a strong city which was on the top of the list. The moment when they walked out of the airport, a heated wave crept towards them instantly. Looking at the people who were in a hurry, Wang Feng also could not help himself thinking about the time at college which he had spent here.
After one year, he came back here once again. However, as for his own mood, tremendous changes had already taken place long since.
"By the way, should I help you find a place to stay?" Bei Yunxue asked when they were walking out of the airport.
"I'm new here. You could just take care of it for me." A lot of changes had taken place in Zhu Hai City over these two years. So it was estimated that Wang Feng could go astray if he were on his own. Being his boss, Bei Yunxue might as well do him this favor.
"From my perspective, let's arrange it in this way. At the moment, a great convene for gambling on jade stones would begin soon. I also do not have time to help you find a dwelling. You can live at my home first." Bei Yunxue said after thinking for a while.
"Living at your home?" Wang Feng opened his eyes wide and thought it in a wrong way instantly.
"Yes. But don't overthink. Otherwise, don't blame me for calling the police over." Keeping a straight face, Bei Yunxue said.
"I get it, get it." A smile loomed up on Wang Feng's face. He pressed his obscene thoughts down to the bottom of his heart. It could also be counted as a good thing to be able to live together with beauty even if he did not do anything.
"Well, by the way, since we would live together temporarily, then I will call you Yun Xue in later days and you can call me Xiao Feng. It's shorter and more convenient." Wang Feng said.
"Alright." Bei Yunxue replied with a low voice. Accidentally, a slight flush showed up on her face.
Wang Feng arrived at Bei Yunxue's dwelling place. After getting his own things packed up ready, he turned his head to speak to Bei Yunxue, "Yun Xue, I am highly interested in this jade. Previously it was just my good fortune that had been playing the role. I wonder whether you could be so kind as to give me instruction?"
"Are you really interested in it?" Walking to the side of the bookshelf, Bei Yunxue drew out a book and handed it over to Wang Feng. Then she gave Wang Feng a glimpse with interest and said, "Wang Feng, it is a good thing that you are fond of learning. However, if you really intended to have some authentic insight into the jade, without certain experience, you could not get it done definitely. But for the sake of you being that studious, I can impart you something. However, as for whether you can master it or not, it will depend on your own capability."
"Yun Xue, according to what you said, if I could get a great piece of Emerald Jade cut out, then I could become a millionaire in an instant, could not I?" Pointing to a green jade on the book, Wang Feng asked enquiringly, with somewhat amazement showing up on his face.
What had been recorded on the book were all about the varieties of the jades and their relative values. It should be admitted that the jades were really valuable. However, it was indeed true that there were too many knacks lying inside. After reading the book, Wang Feng felt somewhat dizzy.
Over the four years at college, Wang Feng had almost been drifting along. If it had been due to this fact, how could it be that he ended up being an ordinary salesman?
His parents had sent him into the Zhu Hai University which was such a top university toil and moil. But when it came to himself, he had been just drifting along inside the college. Looking back upon that now, Wang Feng really felt that he had done his parents wrong. "Xiao Feng, you have thought of it as a too simple thing. For the authentic Emerald Jade of Lao Keng Glasses Type, it could not even be produced out within multiple years. Moreover, if there really existed an authentic Emerald Jade, it would be at a small size which was poor enough. All in all, you could not master these internal knacks all for the moment."
A professional smile showed up in Bei Yunxue's face. She explained to Wang Feng prudentially.
While at this moment, Wang Feng did not hear what she had said at all, because his eyesight had been distracted long early by that deep ravine of Bei Yunxue.
Due to the fact that Bei Yunxue was doing the introduction to Wang Feng, so after she stood up and bent her back, it could be easy for her to reveal herself in front of Wang Feng, which she still was ignorant of.
"Xiao Feng." Noticing that Wang Feng seemed not to have listened to what she had said dedicatedly, Bei Yunxue also raised her head.
However, upon lifting up her head, she saw instantly that Wang Feng's eyesight had been looking towards the place which he should not have looked at.
"What are you looking at?" Bei Yunxue knocked on Wang Feng's head with her hands. Her face was somewhat burning. It never occurred to her that she could be taken advantage of this ruffian carelessly.
"No... nothing." Wang Feng let out two hollow laughter and retrieved his eyesight immediately.
"Alright. If you are really that interested, then you should have a good look at this book where there are pretty detailed introductions listed. You can take it as a gift." Bei Yunxue gave Wang Feng a glimpse reproachfully and sat back to her own position then.
"Let's go. Follow me back to the company first. I will introduce you to the company." Bei Yunxue stood up and talked to Wang Feng.
These two turned back and walked out of the residential quarter. Bei Yunxue stretched out her hands and stopped a taxi. She took the lead in going into the taxi. Wang Feng who was behind her also got into the taxi hurriedly without excessive hesitation. It was possible that this time was the turning point for him to dig out the fortune. Naturally, he would not let it slip by.
