Chapter 0115: The Calm Before the Storm

When I got back to work, I didn't have much of the heart to keep working. My mind is full of the situation of gambling on stones at Xu Wanshan tonight. I don't know what will end up waiting for me tonight.

Maybe everything can go smoothly, and Mrs. L will dispose of He Yongqiang as I wish. Maybe our affairs were discovered by He Yongqiang, and Mrs. L was also killed by He Yongqiang in the first place. As for me, I guess it will be the same dismal end.

I sat in my place, thinking in a state of confusion.

The time unconsciously advanced to half past five in the afternoon, and the colleagues left the company in twos and threes, and most of them had happy smiles on their faces. And I, on the other hand, became more and more nervous at this moment.

"Uncle, do you still have to work overtime tonight?"

When I was immersed in uneasy thoughts and couldn't extricate myself, I suddenly heard Zhang Kexin's voice.

I blinked subconsciously, then turned to look at her.

"Uh, oh, no, I'm not working overtime tonight."

"Then why haven't you packed your things yet? Aren't you ready to go now? ”

Zhang Kexin asked casually, she had already put her satchel on her shoulder, making a look of being ready to leave at any time.

I smiled at her and replied, "I was stunned just now, you go first, I'll leave after packing up." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Kexin gave me a shallow smile, and then turned around and walked out of the company.

I looked at her slender figure as she faded away, and suddenly I had a strange feeling. I always felt as if she was trying to say something to me. I pursed my lips and patted myself on the head to stop thinking about it.

The colleagues around me were still leaving the company one after another, and while I was packing up, Fang Yao also walked out of her office. As I passed by, she glanced at me expressionlessly, and then walked out of the office without looking back.

If it were a normal day, I would probably catch up with her and do something interesting with her. But tonight I obviously can't get in the mood.

With a sigh, I left the office a few minutes later, also with my bag on my back.

It was still a while before I went to Xu Wanshan, so after I had dinner at home, I sat on the sofa and looked down at my phone. I wanted to kill time in this way, and by the way, I wanted to calm myself down a little bit.

In this way, it slowly consumed until half past eight, and I called He Yongqiang and told him that I would leave now and expected to arrive at the mansion at about nine o'clock.

He Yongqiang's reaction was still similar to usual, and I felt that he probably didn't find out about me and Mrs. L. He just emphasized again that I should gamble on the stone, don't think about anything else, he will take care of it.

After finishing the phone call with him, I went out.

Sitting in the taxi to the big house, I was still very uneasy.

As it stands, everything seems to be in a calm state, as if it was just a normal night, and I was really just gambling on the rocks.

But I knew in my heart that it was all an illusion, that it was just the calm before the storm. And in the end, this war without gunpowder will still start after all.

With such a tangled and uneasy mood, I came to Xu Wanshan's mansion.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Mrs. L's exclusive car. Looks like she's already here before me.

I exhaled slowly, looked left and right, and walked in through the main entrance.

Xu Wanshan happened to be introducing the new arrivals to Mrs. L at this time, and when he saw me walking in, he waved to me enthusiastically and motioned for me to go over and take a look at the materials. Mrs. L, of course, noticed me, and she smiled faintly at me, and then continued to focus on the stone in front of her.

When I saw Mrs. L, I was stunned for a moment. Originally, I thought that after she learned about He Yongqiang's plan, she would definitely make adequate preparations. However, I never imagined that she had prepared nothing. She looked the same as the last two times I saw her here, still dressed luxuriously and still proud of her temperament. And the most important thing is that there is only the man in the suit who has been following her by her side. Other than that, there is no helper.

I really don't understand what she means by this, is she going to come over and give He Yongqiang a head? Impossible, right?

Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I tried my best to squeeze out a smiling face, and then walked over and took the initiative to say hello to Boss Xu and Mrs. L. Mrs. L didn't speak to me, just nodded symbolically, counting as a response. Xu Wanshan chatted with me very enthusiastically, but the topic quickly returned to the batch of stones in front of him.

Frankly, it's really hard to concentrate on the rocks right now, because I don't even know if I'll make it out alive tonight. I'm sure anyone in this situation will react similarly to me.

After Xu Wanshan chatted with me for a few words, there happened to be other customers looking for him, and then he asked the two of us to see it first, and he would come back later. In fact, I was already in a state of absent-mindedness, and when he was gone, leaving only me and Mrs. L and her bodyguard, I suddenly became more anxious.

However, Mrs. L's usual composure was as if nothing was going to happen tonight, which made me feel particularly strange.

After Xu Wanshan walked away, she did not take the initiative to talk to me, but continued to look at the stone in front of her intently. Occasionally, I will turn on the lights to see it.

I was particularly anxious by her calm appearance.

Just when I wanted to say something to her, she rushed to the front, smiled and said to me, "Why are you still in a daze, hurry up and choose a stone." ”

My brow furrowed unconsciously, and I looked around. After confirming that there was no one with He Yongqiang nearby, I moved a little closer to Mrs. L, and then whispered next to her ear, "Didn't I tell you that He Yongqiang was going to ambush you here tonight?" Why did you just bring a bodyguard with you? Do you know how many people He Yongqiang will bring? How are you going to fight him? ”

After I said this, Mrs. L didn't even turn her head to look at me, but picked up a stone very calmly, and then said to me quietly: "You have come to bet on stones, so you just need to bet on me to win a good stone." As for the other things, you don't need to be responsible, and you don't need to figure it out, understand? ”

I looked at Mrs. L in a daze and blinked in dismay.

Seriously, I don't understand Mrs. L's intentions at all, and I can't see through her mind. But since she's already said that, then I don't have anything to worry about.

As she said, my best thing is gambling after all, so I have to do my part well!

"Okay, I see."

I replied as calmly as I could, then pulled out a cigarette and lit it for myself.

Mrs. L nodded lightly and did not speak.

We each looked at the stone in silence.

At first, I couldn't concentrate, but after more than ten minutes, I finally started to feel better. I put all the things about He Yongqiang and Mrs. L behind me, and only thought about choosing the most valuable one among the stones in front of me.

I have to say that the quality of the stones that Boss Xu got back this time is indeed very high, and there are materials in many factories, including several large goods of forty or fifty kilograms.

Like this kind of big goods, they generally start at hundreds of thousands, and the better ones can easily reach millions. Of course, although the price of such a stone is high, as long as it is won by one size fits all, it will basically skyrocket to tens of millions. Many people in the gambling stone circle like to play this kind of stone, one is exciting, and the other is that as long as this stone wins one, it is enough for ordinary people to enjoy a lifetime.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I have to say it. High rewards come with high risks, and although I sometimes dream of getting rich, I don't really do it in real life.

I'm a relatively cautious person, and I'm more willing to accumulate slowly than to cut out an imperial green in one fell swoop, as long as I can keep winning, then sooner or later, I'll have my own imperial green!

I took a cursory glance at the large items, and then focused on some of the smaller stones. However, I looked at several materials in a row, and I didn't see anything that particularly satisfied me.

I flicked the ashes of my cigarette and put down the stone in my hand to take a look at the shelves next to me.

At this time, I suddenly heard a familiar and disgusting voice.

"Huh? Shen Zhaoyang, why are you here? ”

I subconsciously frowned, turned my head to look over, and saw Lin Junkai and Li Jiajia, two sand sculptures, walking towards me with a look of disdain.

I knew they would come back again, but I really didn't expect them to choose tonight, which is a coincidence.

I stretched my eyebrows and said to Lin Junkai with a slight smile: "This is a place to gamble on stones, of course I came here to gamble on stones." ”

Lin Junkai sneered with great disdain and replied, "Are you still gambling on stones?" Will you? It's funny. Besides, didn't my sister say that you won't be allowed to gamble on stones, so where did you get the money? Wouldn't you have stolen my sister's money, Shen Zhaoyang? ”

The brain circuitry of this sand sculpture is also strange enough, and I almost didn't laugh at him.

I really didn't want to waste time with him, so I casually said to him: "I don't want to gamble on hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, just for fun, I can still get money for a few thousand yuan and that kind of small stone." ”

"Hehe, too, people like you are only worthy of playing with that kind of small stone for thousands of dollars."

Lin Junkai said contemptuously, and then he was about to take Li Jiajia to see the stone.

It was only at this time that they saw Mrs. L standing behind me, and Li Jiajia immediately touched Lin Junkai's arm and signaled that Mrs. L was the woman they met in the hotel last time.

Lin Junkai naturally had an impression of her, so after seeing her, he immediately said to me with a cold face, "Shen Zhaoyang, what do you mean?" Why the hell are you with this woman? The last time I saw you eating alone, I felt very problematic, but I didn't expect you to come here to gamble on stones at such a late hour? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Junkai grinned self-righteously, and then said, "Are you going to go directly to open a house after you finish gambling on the stones?" Shen Zhaoyang, I can tell you, I already gave you face last time, if you don't make it clear to me today, I'm not done with you! ”

I was a little annoyed by his words. I think if he knew that the last time he and Li Jiajia were beaten up because he offended Mrs. L in front of him, they would definitely kneel down on the spot and beg for mercy.

Just as I was hesitating to say this, Mrs. L walked out from behind me with a light smile. She still seemed so gentle and intellectual, and she couldn't associate those bloody and cruel things with her.

She looked at Lin Junkai and Li Jiajia with a smile on her face, and then explained gently: "Little handsome guy, didn't I already say it when we met last time?" I only have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Shen, you misunderstood. ”

Lin Junkai frowned and looked at Mrs. L, his gaze unconsciously stayed on her for a few more seconds, and before he could open his mouth to respond, Li Jiajia, who was standing next to him and holding him, sneered: "Heh, I haven't seen a junior who will say that he is a junior, who wouldn't say this kind of lie?" It's funny. ”

This brain-dead child really dares to say anything, although I can't see Mrs. L's expression now, I know that Li Jiajia is probably going to be unlucky. The wound on her mouth has only been around for a long time, and she doesn't know what will happen to her after messing with Mrs. L this time.

"A slap doesn't make a sound, and you don't have to explain this kind of thing to us."

Lin Junkai looked like he was coaxing, and after saying this, he pointed at me and continued: "Shen Zhaoyang, you didn't hear what I just said, did you?" What the hell are you talking about! ”

I looked at him like he was dead, and I thought it was funny. It won't be long before this bad pen will be ruined by me, and now he dares to pretend to be forced in front of me, and this IQ is hopeless.

I smiled indifferently, not angry at all, and said to him calmly: "I don't have anything to say to you, if you think I have a problem, you can go and tell your sister, I don't care." ”

Probably didn't expect me to be so calm, Lin Junkai was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "Heh, don't think that you pretend to be quite similar, I will believe you, you wait for me, I will definitely tell my sister about this." If you sit down at that time, I will kill you! ”

Lin Junkai's voice has always been quite loud, so since they came in and started talking, many people who were choosing stones nearby were quietly looking at him.

Xu Wanshan naturally noticed the situation here, so he hurriedly trotted over, smiling and playing round: "Yo, Boss Lin is here?" What's going on, so angry? ”

Xu Wanshan knew about my relationship with Lin Junkai, so he deliberately ignored me to curry favor with Lin Junkai, the purpose was to give Lin Junkai enough face and let him continue to pretend.

This method really worked well for Lin Junkai, I saw him look at me with disdain, and then said to Xu Wanshan: "It's nothing, it's just that I met an eye-catching person, which affects my mood." ”

Boss Xu smiled and replied: "Since that's the case, don't worry about that eye-catching person, I have a lot of good goods here today, Boss Lin, you better hurry up and choose materials!" That's the right thing, don't you? ”

"Hmm."

Lin Junkai nodded, and then chose the materials under the guidance of Boss Xu. When he walked forward, he turned his head and glared at me fiercely, and then said to Xu Wanshan: "Boss Xu, I didn't say you, you have to do more high-end business in this place, like the kind of small stones of thousands of pieces, you should enter less in the future, otherwise your overall grade here will be lowered by that kind of garbage." ”

When he said this, I saw that Xu Wanshan almost laughed, but in the end he held back, and he said to Lin Junkai seriously: "Boss Lin is right, I really have to think about this matter." ”

Lin Junkai is still the same awesome look, and he doesn't know what kind of situation he is in now. And I have already seen Xu Wanshan take him to see the big goods, I smiled, see how you will die later!

Mrs. L didn't know that there were other plans between me and Xu Wanshan, so she was a little surprised when she saw Xu Wanshan flattering Lin Junkai with a flattering face. But she seemed to realize something quickly, and continued to look at the stone.

I didn't say much to her.

I looked around, but I still didn't see He Yongqiang and the others, and I didn't know when they would appear here.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and then calmed down and continued to choose stones.

I looked at a few more stones in a row, and I was still a little dissatisfied.

At this time, I heard Lin Junkai say to Xu Wanshan very strongly: "Boss Xu, how can you sell this stone?" ”

I thought it was interesting when I heard it, and when I turned my head, this guy actually chose a material from those big goods.

I hurried closer and looked at the stone he had chosen.

This stone is relatively small among the large goods, less than 30 kilograms.

I took a brief look at it, and the performance of the leather shell was really good.

At this time, Xu Wanshan said to Lin Junkai with a smile: "If Boss Lin takes a fancy to this stone, he will take 800,000 yuan directly." ”

When I heard this price, my heart trembled.

Although I had already expected it in my heart, I was still surprised by the price of this stone.

Lin Junkai also reacted in the same way, he frowned and said to Xu Wanshan: "Boss Xu, don't kill me, what kind of stone is this?" You sell it for 800,000? I don't think this stone is 30 kilograms, right? ”

Xu Wanshan seemed to have thought that Lin Junkai would have this kind of reaction, he had a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "What is Boss Lin talking about, how can I kill you?" Take a good look, this is the material of the Muna factory, and you look at this leather shell, this is an absolutely good material. I'll tell you that 800,000 is already a very low price, if you can't afford it, then let's go and see other stones, right? ”
