130 Luck
Mathew had seen Vivian take out goods worth ten to twenty million without blinking and thought that she was very interesting. That was why he had asked Vivian if she wanted to accept the challenge, as a way to vent her anger.
“Miss Vivian, what do you think of these pieces?”
Vivian came back to her senses and looked at the raw stone in front of Mathew. She picked it up and looked at it, and could only say that her heart was cold.
Looking at the row of waste, she had an indescribable expression on her face. This stall had such a high sales rate. Let alone getting good stones, it was rare to have the luck to pick 7 or 8 pieces of waste.
Vivian touched her nose and made a sincere suggestion. “Why don’t you wait for Jack to finish picking and pick the one that you don’t like the most from the rest?”
Mathew’s eyes lit up. “If it was the other way around, it might really work.” He could try this trick, so he nodded seriously to show that he accepted Vivian’s opinion.
Vivian decided to take the one in her hand and find a way to get Jack to choose the one that was more difficult to deal with. This way, she would not be in the limelight, and Martin would pay the price!
Just as she was making up her mind, Vivian saw Jack pick out the piece she liked the most and put it aside.
Vivian pretended to be nonchalant and said, “This piece is not bad. Don’t you want it?”
Jack’s movements paused, and he said hesitantly, “I have my eyes on four pieces. It wasn’t easy for me to get to the last two pieces. I just can’t make up my mind now. Actually, I think this piece is quite good.”
When Vivian heard this, she quickly replied, “Then you should just follow that feeling.”
Jack was stunned. “I think the other one is also quite good.”
Vivian was speechless.
Because of Vivian’s intervention, Jack took back his decision.
On the other hand, Vivian was thinking about how not to expose the fact that she had achieved her goal. Her eyes lit up when she saw Matthew beside her. “Matthew, which one of these two do you like?”
Mathew thought for a moment and chose the other piece as expected. Jack thought of Mathew’s reputation in his family and firmly picked up the piece that he had wanted to give up. “I’ve chosen!”
Mathew looked at the three raw gemstones that Jack had given up and chose the last one that Jack had given up. “I’ve also chosen one.”
There were still five minutes left. They didn’t plan to pick anymore and walked directly to the cutting machine.
At this time, many people had heard the news and rushed over to see who would win and who would lose in this huge gamble.
The auction was to be held in the afternoon. According to the rules, if the loser admitted defeat, he might even go bankrupt. Who wouldn’t want to see the excitement?
Vivian looked at her watch. There were only 10 seconds left. She deliberately said loudly, “We agreed to meet here at past thirty-five minutes. We’d already been here for a few minutes, but he still ran ahead of us to pick. How much time has he taken advantage of us!”
When everyone heard this, some busybodies immediately jeered, “Martin! you’re late!”
“Martin, if we don’t start Now, it’ll be time for the auction! Are you sure you can do it?”
“He broke the rules. He didn’t even follow the conditions of the bet.”
This time, Martin hurriedly made a decision with the experts he had brought. He asked the bodyguards to carry the raw stones to the cutting machine. Looking at the people who were cheering, he was a little angry. “What are you shouting for? Don’t you need time to walk? I’m picking them from far away! Start, start, hurry!”
Seeing Martin’s attempt to hide something, the crowd booed.
Martin planned to make his appearance the last. “Jack, Young Master Matthew, you guys go first. You guys can start first.”
Mathew rolled his eyes. “I’ll go first!”
The angle grinders quickly cut the raw stone in half. When the two Jade appraisers sent by the family to accompany Mathew saw the ice-type mauve jade, their eyes were filled with disbelief. “Our Young Master’s luck is changing?”
Matthew was so happy that he wanted to go crazy, but he restrained himself and covered his mouth with his palm to cover the corners of his mouth.
Although this had nothing to do with his luck, it was the first time in his life that he had won a prize!
Vivian saw it from the corner of her eye and chuckled.
Jack and Vivian were next. One of them was a glaze-type vivid green jade, while the other was an ice-type clear water green. This result made Martin a little uneasy. He looked at the expert next to him and frowned. “The few stalls we went to, the green that came out was either of poor quality or the meat quality. Why did they come out with two green of the ice-type and above?”
