I stared at the rock, then pulled out a cigarette and lit it for myself.

I think I should be more nervous than Lin Junkai now, I can only take big gulps of cigarettes, hoping that through the stimulation brought by nicotine, my emotions will calm down quickly.

While this does work, it doesn't really solve the problem.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that the time it takes to open the window for the second time is significantly longer than the time for the first time. This is undoubtedly an ordeal for me. But I could only endure it, and at the same time desperately hope that the final result would be the same as I thought.

The people in the cutting room are basically looking at this stone now, and everyone is also wondering if this stone with such a perfect window can make a full material.

But their mood is very different from mine, and they are much calmer than me, including Mrs. L.

My hands were slightly numb and even a little shaky.

I put the cigarette in my mouth and squeezed my hand hard.

After a short while, my emotions were finally relieved.

I hurriedly pretended to be indifferent and looked at Lin Junkai and Li Jiajia.

These two people didn't pay attention to me the whole time, and they were all engrossed in the stone during the whole process of opening the window. It seems that they are also eager to get a good result. It's just that they're on the opposite side of me.

The window was open for nearly twenty minutes before I finally saw the master stop what he was doing. I stared at the inside of the window, but I couldn't see it at all because of the stone chips.

I watched the master wash it with water, and then I heard him "tsk" and said regretfully: "It's a pity that such a good stone has been mutated." ”

As soon as he said this, the dozen or so pairs of eyes of those of us who were gathered around widened and looked over there.

Sure enough, as I thought, the meat in the second window was completely incomparable to the meat in the first window, and not only the variants, but even the green color was gone.

Many people around are whispering, and everyone seems to feel that it is a pity.

But I didn't feel the same way as them, and I was secretly happy that the stone hanging in the air had finally fallen.

Mrs. L, too, had a faint smile on her face, and she whispered to me, "This should be the result you want, right?" ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

After taking two puffs of the cigarette in my hand, I walked towards Lin Junkai.

At this moment, he and Li Jiajia were standing in front of the stone, their whole faces were like ashes, and they looked like they had lost their souls. How to describe that feeling, it's like being in heaven one second, and suddenly falling into hell the next.

I can imagine how he's feeling right now, but I'm different from him, and I'm very happy, especially when I see the look on their face now.

But I won't show it, I also pretended to be sorry, and said to Lin Junkai: "This window is a bit of a pity, Xiao Kai, you said that this variant has jumped color, what should you do next?" Why don't you just go with another knife, it's already like this anyway, isn't it? Just take a gamble, maybe the mutant color jump is not so serious? ”

Lin Junkai turned his head to look at me, and the expression on his face was already a little distorted. He grabbed me by the collar, pulled me forward, and scolded, "Why do you have you everywhere?" Are you sick? Grass, you're all because of your crow's mouth, it's really damn sad, grass! ”

I hurriedly raised my hands and said to him innocently: "I was talking nonsense just now, I didn't expect it to be like this, Xiaokai, don't be angry, let's hurry up and think about what to do next, right?" If you want me to say that it's still a one-size-fits-all, there is still a chance to turn it around! ”

"Who the hell is it with you, are we? Do I know you well? ”

Lin Junkai scolded and scolded, and then pushed me away.

"Shen Zhaoyang, do you wish I could cut it? Yes? Are you really stupid, aren't you? This stone has already mutated and jumped like this, and I still have to cut it? Am I sick? Do you want to see me lose the 800,000 in bets? I'm telling you, Lao Tzu knows it in his heart, don't think about it! ”

Li Jiajia also understood what the current result meant at this time, and I looked at her with both circles under her eyes that were a little red, and she looked like she wanted to cry. She looked at the stone at a loss, then glared at me fiercely, and then scolded, "It's all because of you! Hurt us Junkai to lose the bet! Get out! Roll a little farther away! It's annoying to see you! ”

I smiled inwardly, of course the two sand sculptures would not have thought that I had said this on purpose. They thought I wanted them to cut, but I was afraid of them. My purpose is very simple, I just hope that through these words, Lin Junkai will completely dispel his intention to continue cutting.

I have just carefully studied this stone, and the position where he just opened the window is not enough to sentence this stone to death, on the contrary, in fact, this stone still has a lot of room for manipulation. So I had to get him to sell the stone for a very low price.

Now that my goal has been achieved, there is no need for me to continue to talk to them. I pretended to be sorry, waved my hand at the two of them, and then stepped back and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything if I don't say it, I'll get away a little bit." ”

Lin Junkai gritted his teeth and snorted, and then didn't care about me anymore.

He looked down at the window that had been mutated and jumped, and he looked like he was loveless.

Looking at his desperate eyes, Li Jiajia asked in a low voice with a little crying: "Junkai, what should we do now?" ”

"Don't talk!"

Lin Junkai replied impatiently.

"Let me think about ......"

Li Jiajia lowered her head and sniffled, looking even more sad and lost than Lin Junkai. She didn't dare to disturb Lin Junkai again, so she was there without saying a word.

I think for her, it's not just a losing bet on a stone, it's also a losing bet on her long-awaited future. The original dream of the protagonist, becoming a top superstar, etc., is now all shattered.

I watched them quietly, and there was no turmoil in my heart.

I've seen too many people like them. Gambling stones are like this, one knife in heaven, one knife in hell. If you don't have that ability, don't just step in. Otherwise, the final result is destined to be an abyss from which no one can recover.

Mrs. L walked to Lin Junkai's side at the right time, she looked at the window of the mutant color, and then said with a smile: "It's a pity, the first window is so good, I didn't expect the second window to be mutated and jumped." ”

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Lin Junkai looked at Mrs. L with a gloomy face, and there was a faint posture of being annoyed and angry.

"Maybe there will be."

Mrs. L's reaction was still very flat, and her words were full of tenderness.

Probably didn't expect Mrs. L to say this, Lin Junkai was obviously stunned for a moment, and then frowned and replied, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"To put it simply, I can help you reduce some of your losses, of course, if you are willing to do it?"

Lin Junkai's brows furrowed a little heavier, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you going to buy this stone for me?" ”

"Well, that's what it means."

Lin Junkai naturally knew that the window material could be sold, but he knew too little about gambling stones, so at this time, he felt a little strange when he heard that Mrs. L took the initiative to buy this material, so he asked again: "Are you sure you want to buy my stone?" ”

Mrs. L smiled and nodded.

I don't know what Lin Junkai thinks, anyway, he suddenly laughed, and then said, "Okay, how much do you have?" ”

Mrs. L replied without thinking: "First of all, I declare that as a person, gambling stones is purely to satisfy my hobby of collecting. So I don't care most about whether a stone can win a bet, as long as the stone has the color I like in it, and then it can reach the high ice species, that's enough. ”

I watched Mrs. L quietly on the side and told lies without changing her face, it was really awesome, I think it's a pity that she doesn't go to be an actress.

She paused at this point, as if thinking about the price of buying this window material.

So I ran before she could say anything.

I pretended to be very excited and said to Lin Junkai, "Xiao Kai, don't you cut this stone?" You're going to sell it? Then you sell me! I want to buy it too. I have eight thousand, sell me! ”

I said that I was going to take the money out of my pocket.

Lin Junkai directly pushed me away.

"Can you a little farther away! Grass, still eight thousand? I bought this stone for 800,000 yuan, and you asked me to sell it to you for 8,000 yuan? You dream! ”

I stood there a little awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Mrs. L smiled and said to Lin Junkai very literately: "Eight thousand yuan is indeed low, so let's do it, two hundred thousand, I will buy you this window material." ”

While we were talking, Xu Wanshan was standing next to him all the time. Although he didn't know what I was planning with Mrs. L, he understood what it meant when he heard us say this. So he hurriedly frowned and said to Mrs. L: "Mrs. L, the window of this stone has already changed colors, do you really want to spend 200,000 yuan to buy it?" ”

I knew very well in my heart that he certainly did not mean to persuade Mrs. L. In fact, he didn't say it to Mrs. L at all, his purpose was the same as mine, it was to stimulate Lin Junkai.

People who really know the industry know that in fact, Lin Junkai's window material can be sold for more money, and it is not a big problem to start at least 300,000 yuan. It is not impossible to meet a genuinely interested buyer, even more than 400,000.

But Lin Junkai didn't understand this, so when he heard Xu Wanshan say this, he naturally thought that he had picked up a big bargain, so he wanted to make a move as soon as possible. In this way, the original loss of 800,000 has become 600,000, although it is still very miserable, but after all, it is back 200,000, which is definitely much better than losing all your money.

Mrs. L naturally understood Xu Wanshan's intentions, and she was about to open her mouth to explain. Lin Junkai rushed forward and said to Xu Wanshan: "Boss Xu, what you said is not right, my stone is not a whole variant, especially the first window is so good, why is it not worth 200,000?" Besides, turnip greens have their own loves, since people like me as a stone, Boss Xu, don't talk more next to you, okay? ”

Xu Wanshan closed his mouth slightly embarrassed.

Mrs. L also responded with a light smile: "Boss Xu, you don't have to worry, even if you spend 200,000 yuan to buy that window, I think it's okay." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Lin Junkai and asked, "How is it?" Is it sold? ”

Lin Junkai pretended to laugh twice at this time, and then said to Mrs. L: "Okay, seeing that you like this stone so much, then I will sell it to you, 200,000 yuan, transfer it to me now, not a single cent." ”

"Okay."

Mrs. L smiled and quickly transferred 200,000 yuan to Lin Junkai.

I watched Lin Junkai quietly breathe a sigh of relief, obviously he was also afraid that Mrs. L would suddenly regret it.

Li Jiajia whispered to him at this time: "Junkai, did you really sell this stone to her like this?" ”

"What else do you want? If we cut this stone ourselves, we wouldn't even be able to get back 100,000 yuan, but now we can get back 200,000 yuan, which is already very good. If you don't understand, don't follow the nonsense. ”

"But...... We still lost 600,000 ah......"

"That's better than losing all 800,000, right? As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! Now I still have a chance to turn over, as long as the next time, I win a big bet, then all this money will be back. When the time comes, I can still invest in movies for you, so that you can always be the heroine! ”

Li Jiajia looked at Lin Junkai in disbelief, and asked weakly, "Really?" Will you really be able to win next time? ”

"Of course it's true, you can rest assured."

I looked at Lin Junkai's nonsense, I felt very funny, and the most important thing is that Li Jiajia is really willing to believe her. I feel a little sad inexplicably, if one day she knows that Lin Junkai is still hooking up with other women behind her back, I don't know what kind of mood she will have.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with me, for me, the most important thing now is to bet on this stone that has changed its color and jump!

At this time, Lin Junkai and Li Jiajia had already gone a little farther. I ignored them, walked up to Mrs. L, and said to her, "Shall I transfer the money to you now?" ”

"Yes."

After getting her reply, I took out my phone and prepared to do it.

At this time, Xu Wanshan came over, looked at me with some confusion, and asked, "Brother, do you really want to play with this stone?" ”

I smiled and said to him, "Is Brother Xu interested?" If you want to, you can also get involved. ”

Xu Wanshan smiled and waved his hand.

"I'd better forget it, just watch you play today."

I know that he is afraid that he will lose the bet on this stone, after all, there has been a variant of color jumping, and the probability of winning the bet is much lower than at the beginning, such a risk is obviously unacceptable for a businessman like him.

So I didn't explain much to him, and after transferring the money to Mrs. L, I squatted down on the ground and began to study the stone carefully.

Lin Junkai and Li Jiajia didn't know about my private deal with Mrs. L, and I guessed they were supposed to leave here quickly, but probably saw that I was studying the stone, so they walked back again.

Lin Junkate said to me with contempt: "Shen Zhaoyang, what are you doing? Still researching? ”

I pretended not to understand anything, smiled and replied, "Just take a look." ”

Lin Junkai snorted coldly, and turned to Mrs. L: "Hey, if you don't know how to gamble stones, I advise you to find someone who knows how to take a look." Otherwise, if you let Shen Zhaoyang look at this kind of waste, what can he see? He doesn't understand anything. ”

"It's fine."

Mrs. L responded lightly, I can feel that she is not interested in talking to Lin Junkai now.

Lin Junkai smiled disdainfully, and then said to himself: "Like a dog, I want to see what kind of flowers you can play with this stone!" ”

I knew he was saying this to me, but I didn't care.

I continued to squat on the ground to study the stone, and Xu Wanshan also introduced a person who specializes in loan sharks to Lin Junkai in a timely manner. Of course, he didn't want Lin Junkai to borrow money right now. He just asked him to go directly to that person in the name of helping Lin Junkai when he was short of money in the future.

Lin Junkai didn't seem to think much about it, said a few simple words, and then stood there and continued to talk to Li Jiajia.

I smiled, then pulled out a flashlight and lit it at the two windows.

It's clear that this stone has a variant of color jumping, so I have to try to find out where there are no variants. Only by doing this will I be able to turn the tables on the Jedi.

I lit up the second window, which was the difference between good and bad material. In the lower part of this position, the meat quality is relatively loose as a whole, and the planting water is obviously not good. But in the upper part, the flesh quality of jade is gradually getting better and better.

I continued to look up, and a third of the way through the way, I noticed that there was already desanding. And here, the performance under the lights is exactly what I expected.

I was a little excited, and then straightened up and lit myself a cigarette.

Lin Junkai taunted beside him: "Do you understand?" It's like he's a master. ”

I didn't pay attention to him this time, because my goal had been achieved, and I didn't need to continue acting with him.

I borrowed a carpentry pen from the master who cut the stone, and then I drew a line on the stone.

Xu Wanshan, Mrs. L, and some of the people around me who didn't walk away were all looking at me, and they all seemed to be curious about the line I had drawn.

I took the cigarette in my mouth, returned the pen to the master, and said to him, "Please help me cut this line." ”

"Okay."

The master answered, and then put the stone on the cutter.

Then Mrs. L whispered to me, "How sure are you this time?" ”

I smiled and after exhaling a cloud of smoke, I said to her, "Isn't it a bit too pretentious to say 100 percent?" However, gambling stones, it is difficult for the gods to break the jade, and they still have to cut it to know the final result. So don't ask me, let's see the results. ”
