Chapter 1710 - 1705: I Am the Real Expert

After the assistant left, Ou Jingtian looked into the distance and spoke with a cold smile, "Shangguan Xue, I know you’re somewhat clever, but this time it’s useless because the gap between us is really too big. So, your little cleverness won’t make up for it!"

...

"Xiaobei, you’re actually a gambling stone expert?"

After finding out from Lv Xinxin that Hu Xiaobei is definitely a gambling stone expert, Shangguan Xue widened her eyes, carefully examining Hu Xiaobei.

She wanted to take a particularly careful look at Hu Xiaobei because she really felt there was so much mystery about him.

Earlier, in that dark mine, Hu Xiaobei was able to see clearly, which shocked her.

Now, there’s something even more shocking about Hu Xiaobei.

Seeing her filled with awe, Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched, "Previously, didn’t you listen carefully when I talked? I told you before!"

"I... I didn’t hear clearly before!"

Previously, because of constantly sensing the masculine aura from Hu Xiaobei, her heart fluttered, and as a result, she hadn’t clearly heard what Hu Xiaobei had said.

With a somewhat speechless sigh, Hu Xiaobei spoke again, "So now you know, I am definitely a gambling stone expert. Any so-called gambling stone experts are nothing in front of me!"

"So immodest?"

"It’s the truth!"

"Then let me quiz you!"

Saying this, Shangguan Xue quickly ran back to her car and soon returned, holding a fist-sized raw jade stone in her hands.

"Xiaobei, take a look at the quality of this raw jade stone?"

Upon hearing such a question, Hu Xiaobei gave it a careful few glances...

Then, Hu Xiaobei took it over.

Holding it in his hand, after carefully observing for a few glances, Hu Xiaobei found it had a window opening.

The jade at the window opening looks quite good...

And it also had nice hue, so the entire raw stone might be made of this kind of jade.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei intently observing it, Shangguan Xue didn’t rush him, just quietly watched.

Lv Xinxin saw Hu Xiaobei carefully watching it and also didn’t say anything, she knew a bit about this raw jade stone.

So, she knew it wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything now.

"It seems Shangguan Xue must have often handled it before."

Seeing the patterns on it, Hu Xiaobei made such a judgment.

"Looks like it’s as I guessed!"

Murmuring to himself, Hu Xiaobei activated his special eye ability.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei could see everything about it clearly.

"Just as I thought!"

Muttering softly, Hu Xiaobei raised his head to look at Shangguan Xue.

"You already have an answer?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei look over, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes because Hu Xiaobei’s observation time wasn’t very long.

"Got a bit of it!"

"Then let’s hear it!"

With Shangguan Xue’s query, Lv Xinxin also turned her head to look over.

Hu Xiaobei lightly smiled and said, "From the window opening, its appearance is good, but actually, it’s just the surface layer that’s jade, so let’s just say it’s completely worthless."

"Oh my god, you... you judged it so quickly?"

With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei boastfully said, "Now you see my ability, right!"

"Indeed, very strong!"

Shangguan Xue softly praised...

She was quite knowledgeable, so she also understood a lot about gambling stones.

Previously, when she just entered the industry, she saw this raw jade stone.

At that time, she was dazzled by the jade at the window opening, thinking it must be particularly good, so she spent all her money to buy it.

Later, the result was a complete misjudgment...

This misjudgment made her suffer a huge loss, and since then, she studied even harder.

This diligent study improved her capabilities significantly.

After her strength improved, when she looked at it again, she discovered its problem.

Of course, even after discovering it, she didn’t throw it away, but carefully kept it.

Often, she would take it out to look.

The purpose was to remind herself to be careful, not to make the same mistake again.

...

"Manager Shangguan hasn’t returned yet?"

"Exactly!"

In Shangguan Xue’s jade shop, all the staff gathered together.

They were really anxious now because the other side had already started their renovation.

They knew, once the renovation was complete, it would be a brand new, high-end jade specialty shop.

Once it opens, it would indeed be a devastating blow.

Shangguan Xue’s assistant looked at them and gently said, "You don’t need to worry, I talked to Manager Shangguan before she told me not to worry."

"But now we really need to be worried!"

"Right! It’s already extremely urgent!"

Seeing them becoming even more anxious, he smiled and said, "Everyone, let me ask, isn’t there a big difference between us and Manager Shangguan?"

"Yes, we admit this."

They knew, Manager Shangguan was indeed much smarter than themselves...

Seeing everyone nod, he faintly smiled and said, "Since you all acknowledge Manager Shangguan’s abilities, then go about your own business. If Manager Shangguan said there’s no need to hurry, then there really isn’t a need to hurry."

"True!"

Lightly nodding, everyone calmed back down.

...

"Xinxin, tell me, where did you find such a good boyfriend?"

At the Sun Family’s place, Shangguan Xue asked quickly and curiously, having arrived at Lv Xinxin’s room together with her.

"Jealous?"

Lv Xinxin looked at her and softly replied with a question.

"A bit, but that’s not the point. The point is, where did you procure such a gem of a boyfriend?"

"It’s like this!"

With a light smile, she recounted the details of her initial meeting with Hu Xiaobei...

After listening, Shangguan Xue lightly nodded, "No wonder you were unresponsive to my previous kindness, turns out you found such a perfect boyfriend early on."

"Jealous? You can go find one too!"

"I’m not going to look, I’m going to steal your boyfriend!"

"Well, let’s see if you’ve got the skills! But I feel Xiaobei isn’t interested in you because he doesn’t like ironing boards."

"Ironing boards?"

Pausing for just a second, she understood Lv Xinxin’s meaning and huffed, "Rascal, how am I an ironing board! My figure is excellent."

"Is changing clothes that troublesome?"

Outside, Hu Xiaobei sighed somewhat gloomily...

Earlier, Hu Xiaobei was ready to set off with Shangguan Xue to her jade shop, but then Lv Xinxin suddenly wanted to change clothes.

Hu Xiaobei thought it would be finished quickly, but now he realized he was wrong, and terribly so, because it had already been nearly an hour, yet she still wasn’t done...
