Chapter 45: Grabbing stones
When Gu Xueying heard Xu Youyou speak, her face immediately became alert.
Lu Shaoyan immediately said: "I brought Xueying here to play, and of course I will pay for the stones she picked."
Xu Youyou smiled and asked: "Then if the jade extracted from the stone Miss Gu picked is worth one billion, does it also belong to her?"
If it was hundreds or tens of millions, Lu Shaoyan would definitely agree without blinking an eye.
But when he heard one billion, he was still stunned for two seconds, and then said frankly: "This is natural, our Lu family is not in need of such a small amount of money."
Xu Youyou nodded and said with a smile: "Master Lu and Miss Gu have such a good relationship. They are such an enviable couple."
Lu Shaoyan did not refute, but turned his head and carefully looked at Gu Xueying's expression.
Now Lu Shaoyan is not the heir to the Lu family. In terms of wealth and status, the Lu family branch may not be as good as the Gu family. Gu Xueying looks down on him now.
Sure enough, Gu Xueying did not want to send the wrong signal and immediately explained: "Miss Xu, you misunderstood. Mr. Lu and I are just friends."
Xu Youyou said immediately: "It turns out they are just friends. Then Mr. Lu seems to be a very generous person to his friends."
Gu Xueying looked a little ugly when she heard this. Although Xu Youyou didn't say it explicitly, when she said this, she looked like a fisherman.
Lu Shaoyan didn't notice these subtleties, but when Gu Xueying cleared the relationship, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
But he quickly cheered up again because the warehouse arrived.
Lu Shaoyan brought up the old matter again: "Miss Xu, which rough stone do you think is better for me to buy?"
Xu Youyou casually kicked the stone at her feet: "This one is pretty good."
Lu Shaoyan looked at Xu Youyou's actions and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Xu Youyou was too casual, and he felt that the other party did not choose carefully.
"Miss Xu, can you see clearly while standing? I thought when you selected rough stones, you squatted down and looked carefully with a magnifying glass." Lu Shaoyan said.
What Lu Shaoyan said is not a lie. Many stone gamblers outside are like this, and many professionals are also like this.
It's just that professionals can indeed find some patterns based on the lines on the stones, but those stone gamblers outside are simply imitating others.
Xu Youyou said: "I have always bought stones this way. If Mr. Lu doesn't believe me, you can choose it yourself. I won't be angry about it."
Lu Shaoyan didn't know why, but he felt as if he had been kicked.
He was the one who begged Xu Youyou to help with the selection in the beginning, and now he is the one questioning Xu Youyou. If he buys it, he will lose face because he doesn't have good products, but if he doesn't buy it, he will look too petty.
"How much does this stone cost?" Lu Shaoyan asked Boss Chen.
Stones that can be placed in a warehouse and placed alone are naturally not cheap.
"Five million." Boss Chen said.
Lu Shaoyan turned to Xu Youyou and said, "Ms. Xu is a professional, I will trust you for once."
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing: "I haven't dared to buy a stone for so many days. I didn't expect Mr. Lu to think that I am a professional?"
When Lu Shaoyan heard this, he asked: "Are you kidding me? Are you asking me to throw away half a million yuan on purpose?" Xu Youyou said: "Aren't you always pestering me? I thought rich people like you, I don’t care about the little money.”
Lu Shaoyan recalled carefully that since the first meeting, because Boss Chen had been praising Xu Youyou and mentioned Xu Youyou's offer of one billion, his eyes were blurred by money again, and he was inevitably misled.
Xu Youyou ignored him and started wandering around the warehouse.
She picked the stone for Lu Shaoyan very casually, but when it was her turn, her attitude was very serious. At this time, she squatted down, picked up a stone, waved her hand, and asked Boss Chen: "How much does this piece cost?"
< br>
Boss Chen casually quoted: "If you want it, it will be half a million."
Xu Youyou didn't take it immediately, but she looked a little confused, as if she wasn't sure whether to buy it or not.
Lu Shaoyan looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask: "Are you very optimistic about this stone?"
Xu Youyou immediately put the stone down, her eyes full of defense, and said: "No, I just took a look."
Of course, if she didn't immediately go to Boss Chen to bargain after saying this, the credibility of her words would be even higher.
"Cheaper, what's the relationship between us? Wouldn't half a million cost my life?" Xu Youyou said to Boss Chen.

Boss Chen looked at her with a frown and said, "Look at what you said. You have just made one billion yuan, and you come to me crying about poverty?"
Xu Youyou smiled awkwardly and then said: "The pattern of that stone is quite beautiful. I didn't plan to open it when I bought it. I just kept it at home for fun. You shouldn't sell it to me as a rough stone..."
Boss Chen directly covered his ears: "I don't like to hear what you say, so stop talking."
Xu Youyou still needs to grind with him.
Lu Shaoyan suddenly stepped in, nodded at the stone that Xu Youyou had set his sights on before, and said, "I want it, five hundred thousand."
Boss Chen immediately beamed with joy.
Xu Youyou said: "Mr. Lu, what you did is not authentic. I obviously took my fancy to this stone first."
Gu Xueying, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "The one with the highest price will get it. If Miss Xu really likes it, she should buy it early, instead of always trying to figure out the price."
Xu Youyou felt that Gu Xueying was a little too arrogant for actually daring to ridicule herself.
"Indeed, isn't what you Gu family are best at buying flashy things at high prices?" Xu Youyou said lightly.
Gu Xueying's pretty face turned red with anger. She recalled that at the auction, she and Gu Fengchuan were tricked by Xu Youyou's price increase, and finally bought the jewelry at almost two or three times the price.
Originally, this matter was nothing, but Gu Fengchuan did not win the Dou Cai Cup, and some meddlesome people fabricated some specious rumors, which reached Gu's father's ears. He mistakenly thought that his children were missing because of the jewelry they bought at high prices. Being able to buy the Dou Cai Cup, he scolded Gu Fengchuan severely and didn't even bother Gu Xueying.
Because of this, the Gu family was ridiculed by people in the upper class as "people are stupid and have too much money." This was also the reason why Gu Xueying did not appear in social situations for several days.
Xu Youyou didn't care about Gu Xueying's crazy expression. She didn't worry about losing a rough stone. She lowered her head and continued to search in the warehouse.
But this time Xu Youyou's eyes were entirely focused on those large rough stones.
"This stone is so beautiful. I want to buy it and build a big fish tank for viewing. Boss Chen, can you give me a cheap price?" Xu Youyou said to a big stone.
