Chapter 59
Zhou Zhenghong didn’t want to argue with Shao Ping in public . Besides, he had no chance to win . Thus Zhou Zhenghong swallowed down his anger, saying coldly, “It’s none of your business . Shao Ping, take care of yourself in case something bad happens to you out of the blue . ”
“I’m not afraid at all! Who cares what a loser says . Zhou Zhenghong, do you have enough money to buy one piece? If you don’t have, I can lend you some,” Shao Ping humiliated Zhou Zhenghong .
“Who says who can’t afford! Uncle Zhou, let’s go to the counter . ” Gu Ning walked over, pulling Zhou Zhenghong away before he could struggle .
“You…” Zhou Zhenghong was very surprised . He didn’t expect the young girl would be that strong .
He understood this young girl was helping him, but he did not have money to buy the raw material .
Shao Ping didn’t know Zhou Zhenghong was with a young girl . He was a little upset, but also wanted to know what Zhou Zhenghong could get .
“Young girl, I’m not buying,” Zhou Zhenghong said awkwardly .
“Mr . Zhou, I know you’re still optimistic about this raw material, but you have concerns . In fact, I’m also optimistic about this raw material . If you are not willing to take full risks, we each can pay half of this raw material . If it’s valuable, we can share the profit . If it’s not, you won’t lose much money either . ” Gu Ning knew Zhou Zhenghong liked this raw material too, but because he lacked money, he hesitated .
If Zhou Zhenghong planned to buy this raw material, Gu Ning wouldn’t compete with him . She could wait till he dropped it .
But Gu Ning had her own plan . She approached Zhou Zhenghong for a reason .
“Well…”
Zhou Zhenghong changed his mind .
He did not dare to take the risk, but also liked this raw material . Thus he hesitated .
If someone was willing to share the cost with him, he would like to try .
But it was a young girl . Zhou Zhenghong believed she didn’t need to take the risk . He didn’t want to take advantage of a young girl . “Young girl, if it’s a waste material, you will lose money too,” Zhou Zhenghong said .
“I know, but if it’s valuable, I’ll win money! Besides, that’s gambling,” Gu Ning replied .
Zhou Zhenghong hesitated for a while longer, then agreed at the end .
This raw material weighed around six pounds . It cost ten thousand yuan a pound, and around sixty thousand yuan in total .
The buyer of the raw materials needed to register and sign . Since they bought it together, they needed to sign both of their names .
After signing and paying, Gu Ning let Zhou Zhenghong take the raw material to cut it out together .
On their way, Gu Ning pushed her cart with her . Zhou Zhenghong was astonished . “Did-did you buy all of these?”
“Yes,” Gu Ning answered .
Zhou Zhenghong swallowed with great force . This young girl must be from a rich family!
Since she was a rich kid, Zhou Zhenghong was relieved . And they had already paid the bill .
Shao Ping stood afar looking at Zhou Zhenghong . So he had no idea Zhou Zhenghong and Gu Ning bought the raw material together .
Besides, Gu Ning was merely a teenager . Shao Ping didn’t believe Gu Ning bought it, so he believed Zhou Zhenghong must be the only buyer .
He knew although Zhou Zhenghong went bankrupt, he wasn’t that poor and could afford a raw material .
But when Shao Ping noticed the cart full of raw materials pushed by Gu Ning, he was shocked .
How could Zhou Zhenghong afford those raw materials? They cost at least millions!
Shao Ping immediately walked over . “Gee! Zhou Zhenghong, how can you afford these raw materials?”
Zhou Zhenghong didn’t want to talk with Shao Ping, but he didn’t want to cause a misunderstanding either . So he explained, “These aren’t mine . ”
Hearing that, Shao Ping was relieved, then he mocked, “Indeed, I forget you’re too poor to afford that many raw materials now . ”
But if these raw materials weren’t Zhou Zhenghong’s, then it must be the young girl’s .
Who can afford all of these raw materials at one time? This young girl must be from a rich family . Shao Ping thought . What’s her relationship with Zhou Zhenghong?
No matter what the relationship between them was, Shao Ping felt jealousy already .
He was worried that someone would help Zhou Zhenghong to restart his business, which would be a threat to him . He had done a lot to defeat Zhou Zhenghong .
Zhou Zhenghong just gave him a cold glance, then walked straight to where the stones were cut out .
“Let’s see what you can get . ” Shao Ping followed up .
As long as there was someone to cut the raw materials, people in the shop would gather around to have a look .
Although there were several machines, Gu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to cut hers out .
After drawing the lines, the worker started to cut .
After a cut, a light green showed . The worker raised his voice in excitement, “A green jade!”
The crowd was excited at once . The most excited one was Zhou Zhenghong .
A green jade! There was a green jade in it!
Shao Ping, at the same time, felt upset, with his eyes full of viciousness .
He had schemed so hard to make Zhou Zhenghong go bankrupt . Was he going to fail?
No, no…
Before long, an emerald the size of a man’s palm was fully cut out .
Its color was light and pure . It was of the hibiscus type .
Hibiscus type was the type ranked between glutinous rice type and ice type . It belonged to the upper quality types, and was very valuable .
Feeling the strong power, Gu Ning naturally absorbed it in .
The jade was out . People began to bid .
“Five million yuan . ”
“Six million yuan . ”
…
“Eighteen million yuan . ”
At last, the jade of the hibiscus type was bid to a high price of eighteen million yuan .
It was sold at the price of eighteen million yuan at the end .
No one was more thrilled than Zhou Zhenghong .
He finally had money .
“Miss Gu . ” Zhou Zhenghong walked to Gu Ning, wanting to talk about the money .
“You can keep all the money in your card for now,” Gu Ning said .
Hearing that, Zhou Zhenghong was struck dumb . “Aren’t you afraid I would take all the money and disappear?”
“I trust you,” Gu Ning said with determination . She didn’t really trust Zhou Zhenghong, but wanted to give him a test .
If he ran away, then she had made a wrong decision . If he didn’t, then he passed the test .
With the money, it wouldn’t be difficult for Zhou Zhenghong to start his business afresh . And when he found out what were in Gu Ning’s raw materials later, he would know what the right choice was .
Feeling he was being trusted, Zhou Zhenghong was moved . He was an upright man himself .
