Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders, finding Hu Zhuoqing quite clever.

Unfortunately, his cleverness was misplaced.

No matter how seriously Hu Zhuoqing took it, the result wouldn’t change at all.

”Mr. Qin, are you really sure there are no problems?”

When those girls were selecting the stones just now, they all went for the smaller ones, none of them chose any big ones because they lacked the strength to move them.

”Truer than if I were a man.”

Qin Yu chuckled. Even if the girls were terrible at it, they were still bound to select a few stones.

Qin Yu glanced over the stone cart pushed out by the girls, his heart settling down. Among these stones, more than ten could turn out to be jade.

A jade output rate of one in five was definitely that of a very conscientious merchant!

And on Hu Zhuoqing’s side, without a doubt, all were waste rocks!

After all, Pavilion 53 had already been ransacked!

Huh?

Wait a minute, there was one stone that could turn out to be jade, but the jade was small and of poor quality.

Everyone thought there was some secret weapon in Pavilion 52, but it turned out they just let the girls choose randomly.

While the girls’ selection of the stones was quite a spectacle, all the bosses thought Qin Yu was too impetuous and too casual!

Almost everyone was convinced the winner today would definitely be Pavilion 53.

Many people began to gather around Hu Zhuoqing, watching him choose stones and showering him with unending flattery, turning him almost giddy with praise as if he had truly become a Stone Gambling Master.

Finally, Hu Zhuoqing’s fifty stones were selected, and the staff pushed out the stones he had chosen.

The stones chosen by the girls and by Hu Zhuoqing were distinctly different—the girls had chosen much smaller stones.

Moreover, the stones were quite pretty, with all sorts of patterns.

Whereas the stones Hu Zhuoqing chose varied in size, and the raw stones were not necessarily good-looking, but the patterns on them were very clear, and the lines were smooth.

Those who knew a bit about stones nodded continuously, agreeing with Hu Zhuoqing’s discernment.

”The stones from Pavilion 52 look good, sure, but the patterns are too scattered, and they’re too small; that’s a major flaw! Small stones like these are definitely less likely to yield jade compared to the larger ones!”

”I think Mr. Qin has given up. He knows he can’t keep his position in Luo City’s original stone trading hall, so he thought up this face-saving exit strategy.”

”That’s right, after all, the stones were chosen by the girls. When the time comes, he can push the responsibility onto them. Mr. Qin is really concealing his talent and biding his time!”

”It seems today Hu Shifu will wipe away the previous humiliation and reclaim the title of Luo City’s number one Stone Gambling Master in the original stone trading hall!”

...

Hearing everyone unanimously supporting him, Hu Zhuoqing felt elated, and exchanged a pleased look with An Jianming.

An Jianming smiled and said, ”Everyone, please quiet down a bit. Since the contestants from both sides have finished selecting, let’s start the stone cutting. Does Mr. Qin have any objections?”

”None at all, please proceed.”

”Masters, please begin. It’s all up to you!”

At An Jianming’s command, six stone cutting machines started up simultaneously.

For a moment, stone chips flew everywhere, and the noise was deafening. Everyone stepped back to avoid being covered in stone dust.

Qin Yu glanced at the six stones. He was speechless. How could this happen?

Only one of the six stones had jade in it.

Moreover, this one stone belonged to Pavilion 53.

This piece of stone was the one Qin Yu had seen earlier, but because its quality was so poor, just the most common bean green variety, and with a small size to boot, Qin Yu didn’t even bother wanting it.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zhuoqing had chosen it, and even more unexpectedly, the Stone Gambling Master had picked it as the first piece to work on.

Qin Yu shook his head slightly, it looked like Hu Zhuoqing was going to strut around for a while again.

”Green has appeared! Green has appeared!”

Someone shouted loudly, and people didn’t care about the stone chips splashing on them as they hurried forward, seeing a faint green light!

”It’s really green! It’s the stone from Exhibition Hall 53! Although it’s just the bean green variety, at least it’s a good start!”

Hearing this, Hu Zhuoqing felt great! He looked at Qin Yu with a provocative gaze, ”See that? I’ve hit the green, while your Exhibition Hall 52 is all duds!”

An Jianming slightly relaxed, it seemed he had been overly worried, how could this guy named Qin possibly turn things around?

After all, he had prepared so much!

Chi Yanyan’s complexion had a bit of panic, she was a bit puzzled. Even if Mr. Qin was very capable, he couldn’t be so carefree, could he? She was very clear about the level of the girl who had selected the stones just now!

But with so many people watching, Chi Yanyan could only keep her doubts to herself.

”Brother Yu, you have to take responsibility for me, I’m going to follow you from now on! I know you’re a director of the Su Group, you have to get me a job!” Liu Tian looked at Qin Yu with a pitiful face.

”Get lost! Just wait to count the money!” Qin Yu kicked Liu Tian irritably.

Just then, a strong and vigorous voice came from the side.

”The first round of stone gambling is over, Exhibition Hall 53 is in the lead by one stone! The second round of stone gambling will now begin.”

Upon hearing this voice, everyone hastened to bow their hands.

”Greetings, Steward Tang!”

”Steward Tang has come?”

Tang Xiao nodded slightly to everyone and asked in an inquiring tone, ”Mr. Qin, may I serve as witness for you all?”

Qin Yu smiled, knowing this was Tang Xiao’s way of showing goodwill, if Tang Xiao did not act as a witness, An Jianming could very well go back on his word.

But now that the Feng Family was involved, even if An Jianming were given ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to back out!

”I have no objections, President An, do you have any?” Qin Yu looked at An Jianming with a smiling face.

”How could I object? Having Steward Tang as our witness is an honor for me!”

The second round of stone gambling began, and this time, neither side hit green.

Over at Exhibition Hall 52, everyone was extremely tense, except for Qin Yu and Chu Feng who remained calm.

Hu Zhuoqing’s expression became slightly unsightly, his normal ratio of hitting green was three to one, he had used all his skills just now, hoping to increase the rate of hitting green.

Unexpectedly, not only did it not increase, it actually decreased!

Fortunately, Exhibition Hall 52 also had no green.

Seeing Hu Zhuoqing’s darkened expression, An Jianming comforted, ”Master Hu, don’t blame yourself. Exhibition Hall 52 didn’t hit green either, perhaps, it was just bad luck, maybe the next round will yield three greens.”

Hu Zhuoqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”What are we hesitating for? Let’s start the third round of stone gambling immediately.”

After speaking, Hu Zhuoqing felt that something was amiss; the witness was Tang Xiao after all!

How could he take over Tang Xiao’s job?

”Steward Tang, do you think it’s appropriate to start the third round of stone gambling now?”

Hu Zhuoqing hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile.

”Hmm, let’s begin,” Tang Xiao said without even lifting his eyelids.
