Chapter 42: The Temptation of Stone
It took a long time for Meng Ti to wake up from the shock, his heart was filled with ecstasy, where did he still remember Zhong Yuan's anger, rushed over and hugged him, kissed him a few times on the mouth, and said: "Zhong Yuan, you are amazing! I love you to death!"
"It's a small thing, it's a little effort. Zhong Yuan said modestly.
Gong Shengnan's cough came over, although she didn't eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, but she kept paying attention to this side, and when she saw Meng Ti pounce, she felt unhappy, but she didn't have a seizure, but walked over with a smile and said, "What kind of happy things to talk about?" β
"Uh......" Zhong Yuan didn't want Gong Shengnan to know about the transfer of equity to Meng Ti, and said: "I told Meng Ti that when I was doing that task, I came back with a safe, so she was very happy." β
"Where's the safe?"
Gong Shengnan recalled the scene when Zhong Yuan came back, he didn't bring anything, where was the safe?, "Could it be that a mini safe has been developed now?"
Meng Ti also looked at Zhong Yuan with some surprise.
Assassinating a general in the barracks and getting a safe out of the barracks is too exaggerated, right?
Zhong Yuan took both of them to the bedroom and smiled mysteriously, "I'll perform a magic trick for you." β
Pick up the sheet and shake it in the air, and when you pull it up again, there is an extra safe more than a meter high in the room.
"This ...... Is this magic?"
Meng Ti and Gong Shengnan were stunned.
"It's magic. Zhong Yuan said affirmatively.
With a shake of his hand, the Mochizuki sword reappeared in his hand and slashed at the edge of the safe.
The heavy iron cabinet was cut open by the Mochizuki Sword like tofu.
The safe is divided into three levels, one with colorful dollars, one with some documents and archives, and one with some beautiful jewelry and stones.
Although the dollar is valuable, it is like that in the eyes of the three of them, and it is not very much, at most it is only a million.
As for the documents and whatever, none of the three of them could read them, nor did they have any interest.
Even those jewels, which were not very rare, were worth a lot, but they were pale in comparison to the few stones that were piled together.
Meng Ti and Gong Shengnan's eyes were attracted by those stones when Zhong Yuan opened the safe.
"Wow!"
This is Meng Ti's exclamation.
"it!"
This is Gong Shengnan's exclamation.
Those stones were not ordinary stones, but the hardest stones in the worldβdiamondsβand they were very large.
People like to describe the size of diamonds as pigeon eggs, but each of these pieces is much larger than the so-called pigeon eggs.
"This ...... Is this true?"
Meng Ti grabbed the largest blue diamond and asked in a trembling voice, "It can't be artificial, right?"
If it's an artificial diamond, it's not worth much.
Where did Zhong Yuan understand this, and said uncertainly: "Probably not, right?"
"It doesn't matter if it's artificial," Gong Shengnan drooled as he looked at the stones, "Let's divide it up first." β
She looked at the largest piece in Meng Ti's hand and said, "Meng Ti, be reserved, put it down, and let's discuss how to divide it." β
Meng Ti clenched tighter and said, "I can discuss it with it." β
There are five diamonds in total, all of which are rough and unworked. One piece of blue is the largest, and there are two pieces of white, one pink, and one rose.
Gong Shengnan's persuasion was ineffective, so he put out his hands together, grabbed the pink and rose pieces in his hands, and said, "Now let's discuss how to divide them." β
Meng Ti glared at her: "You take two pieces, it's too shameless, right?"
"I have a son. Gong Shengnan said confidently, "My son is the eldest son of the Zhong family, why should he also score a piece?"
"Zhong Yuan," Meng Ti looked at Zhong Yuan aggrievedly, "I want a son too." β
"Ahem. β
Zhong Yuan coughed awkwardly.
He put away the remaining two white diamonds and said, "Don't divide these two pieces." β
"Which woman do you want to keep it for?"
Meng Ti and Gong Shengnan said in unison.
Zhong Yuan's heart was weak for a while, and he said, "You guys think too much, I'm just staying and preparing to sell it when the time is right." β
"Don't sell it!" Gong Shengnan hurriedly said, "If you really need money, find someone to estimate the price and sell it to me." β
Meng Ti wanted to say the same thing, opened his mouth, but still didn't say it.
No matter how valuable the equity Mr. Xia promised to give her is, it will be a matter for the future, and now she doesn't have as much money as Gong Shengnan.
The two women looked at each other's diamonds, and they both felt that they had lost something, and there was something unkind in their eyes.
Zhong Yuan was very helpless.
Diamonds are not a valuable thing in the cultivation realm, and when it comes to the role of refining weapons, they are not as good as ordinary jade, that is, the earthlings take it seriously.
But here is the earth, and here it is the most expensive stone in the world.
Such a large diamond is worth hundreds of millions, and it is not something that can be bought with money.
He was a little curious about where General Wilson got a few diamonds of this size. If you want to say that you bought it, it is definitely impossible, the national strength of country T is so small, no matter how corrupt you are, you can't be corrupt enough to buy five diamonds of this size.
"Did he discover a diamond mine?"
Zhong Yuan's heart suddenly moved.
South Africa, which is not very far from country T, has a large diamond mine, and it seems that it is not impossible for country T to discover diamond mines.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little excited.
A few diamonds are nothing, if it's a large diamond mine and you buy it before anyone else finds out, it's a good idea.
Although the mining cost of diamonds is large, and the market is relatively small, it is not as expensive as Mr. Xia's mine, but owning such a mine is also a huge asset.
He originally wanted to say to the two women in front of him, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, thinking: "If I tell them, if there is really a diamond mine, it will be robbed by the two of them, and there will be no share of mine at all." In this society, how can a man do without a little private money? I have to keep it a secret. β
He wanted to throw away the documents and files in the safe, but now he was afraid that there was news of the imaginary diamond mine inside, so he quietly put them in the storage bag.
After the diamonds were divided, the remaining jewelry was divided into two piles by Gong Shengnan, and she and Meng Ti decided who would choose first in a rock-paper-scissors way.
As for those dollars, Zhong Yuan felt that it should be his, but it was also divided between the two women.
The reason is that men become bad when they have money, and in order to prevent Zhong Yuan from becoming bad, they have to confiscate the money.
Zhong Yuan in his heart: "I have a sentence that MMP doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......"
