Chapter 1725 - 1720: Good News?
Hu Xiaobei glanced at Ou Jingtian with disdain and said coldly, "Did I ask you to stay here? If you don’t want to watch, then get lost! Stop bothering me!"
Scolded by Hu Xiaobei, Ou Jingtian laughed shamelessly, "Oh, are you embarrassed and angry? Watching you like this is really quite interesting!"
Hearing such mockery and sarcasm, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes.
He ignored Ou Jingtian and instead looked at the other people present.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei spoke calmly, "I will be cutting raw stone here today. Anyone interested can stay and watch. After the stone cutting, there will be a surprise for you."
"A surprise? What kind of surprise?"
Hearing this curious inquiry, Hu Xiaobei smiled mysteriously, "I’m not telling you yet!"
At this point, Hu Xiaobei looked at the nauseating Ou Jingtian again and said, "The process of stone cutting is quite tedious. So if anyone doesn’t want to watch, you can leave."
Knowing Hu Xiaobei was speaking to him, Ou Jingtian sneered derisively and said coldly, "You want me to leave? Too bad, I’m not leaving. I’m going to stay here and see what tricks you’re playing."
Hu Xiaobei heard the response but ignored him and confidently walked up to the piece of jade raw stone.
This jade raw stone was the best-performing piece from the first batch of raw stones sent here previously.
Hu Xiaobei specifically chose it out to shock everyone.
...
"Manager, what exactly is Hu Xiaobei up to?"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei preparing to cut the stone, the assistant next to Ou Jingtian murmured quietly.
He had been watching Hu Xiaobei since earlier...
He wanted to know what Hu Xiaobei was planning, but couldn’t see through it at all!
It made him feel so frustrated he could vomit blood.
Ou Jingtian heard the curious inquiry, turned to look at his frustrated assistant, and said calmly, "Why? You’re curious? Do you think he can win?"
"Seriously, don’t annoy him!"
Hearing this calm inquiry, the assistant knew Ou Jingtian was a bit unhappy now.
His eyelid twitched as he quickly explained, "Manager, I’m just asking casually. No way I think he can win; he’s just trash, there’s no way he can beat you! Honestly, he doesn’t even have the qualifications to carry your shoes."
Hearing his assistant quickly explain, Ou Jingtian looked deeply at him and said coldly, "You better truly think that way. If I find out you’re praising outsiders and diminishing yourself, I’ll kill you directly!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
He quickly agreed!
At this moment, he truly felt his entire back was soaked with sweat.
Earlier, he thought his relationship with Ou Jingtian had gotten much closer, so he was less cautious around him.
Now, he knew he had to stay vigilant because Ou Jingtian was really not someone easy to get along with.
...
While he was feeling scared, many people around chose to leave because they truly found it boring.
They were completely clueless about stone cutting, so the more they watched, the more bored they felt.
Of course, not everyone was like that. Many present were familiar with jade, so seeing Hu Xiaobei cutting stone now, their eyes were wide with excitement.
Normally, they found it difficult to see people cutting stones.
Seeing so many people watching, Hu Xiaobei smiled slightly and began seriously.
Hu Xiaobei knew that from the moment he started cutting the stone, Ou Jingtian’s good days were over.
...
"Such skilled movements!"
"That’s what I’m saying!"
Amateurs watch the fun, while the experts see the technique!
Many experts at the scene were shocked the moment Hu Xiaobei began...
Because Hu Xiaobei’s movements looked particularly skilled, without a single flaw.
Hearing such expressions of astonishment, Ou Jingtian squinted his eyes.
He had to admit, Hu Xiaobei really looked exceptionally professional now.
"This guy does have some skills, but it doesn’t matter now, as everything has already been settled!"
Thinking he had completely gained the upper hand, he relaxed.
He felt Hu Xiaobei was deliberately attracting attention now.
While thinking this, he suddenly heard some shocking exclamations.
"It’s green!"
Upon hearing such shocking exclamations, he quickly looked over to Hu Xiaobei’s side and saw a deep green color.
"No way, he actually managed to cut out jade!"
At this moment, his mind was racing.
Because Hu Xiaobei really did cut out jade.
Earlier, he thought Hu Xiaobei was just showing off, and it was impossible to cut out jade, but now he’s been proven wrong.
After the shock, Ou Jingtian examined it carefully and found this jade was much better than he had imagined!
"The luster is really rich!"
Quietly admiring it, he discreetly continued observing.
He discovered that the performance of this jade raw stone was truly exceptional.
"However, even if it performs well, it can’t cut out very good jade. And even if it does, what’s the use?"
Muttering to himself, his mood gradually improved.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard even more frantic exclamations.
"Oh my, it’s green again, and this time it’s even deeper, seems like it’s especially precious noble ice species jade!"
"I also feel it’s ice species!"
"Me too!"
At first, they weren’t sure about the type of jade, but after a closer look, they confirmed that the jade appearing was a priceless ice species.
"What? Ice species?"
"Is this real?"
"Yes!"
Those who left earlier, hearing these excited exclamations, quickly rushed back.
And the numbers were several times larger than before.
Within seconds, the place was completely surrounded.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the throng of people, Ou Jingtian’s eyes twitched wildly.
At this moment, he truly felt that Hu Xiaobei was incredibly lucky, clearly about to have bad luck, yet somehow managed to cut out such a priceless ice species jade.
"Manager, why do you look unhappy? This is good news, great news!"
Hearing his assistant speaking excitedly, Ou Jingtian frowned deeply...
Soon, he looked at his assistant and said coldly, word by word, "Are you out of your mind? Good news? Is this supposed to be good news?"
"Manager, this is really good news for us!"
He felt a bit frustrated being yelled at by Ou Jingtian.
"Then why don’t you explain to me how this is good news? If you can’t tell me clearly, I’ll make sure you suffer terribly today."
Hearing such furious yelling, he knew Ou Jingtian truly wanted to tear him apart.
His eyelid twitched as he quickly said, "Manager, please calm down. I’ll explain right away why I think it’s good news."
