Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 175 - 175 175 Im Taking It

?Chapter 175: Chapter 175 I’m Taking It Chapter 175: Chapter 175 I’m Taking It Luo Ning had delved deeply into how to find jade within rough stones. Besides examining the outer surface of the stones, she could also sense the energy within them.

If there was energy in the rough stone, it definitely contained jade; if not, it was empty.

The denser the energy, the better the quality of the jade contained within.

However, Luo Ning didn’t write down all the jades she was interested in but chose only one-fifth, mainly those with high energy.

The better the quality of the jade, the better it would be for carving and nurturing auspicious magic artifacts, and for setting up Arrays as well.

After all, with so many people attending the public auction, if she were to select all the jade, it would be a wasted trip for the others.

Of course, apart from the rough stones with jade, she deliberately picked some waste material to include as well.

Otherwise, a hundred percent success rate in revealing jade would be too ostentatious.

Then, seeing Feng Yuxiao starting to select rough stones, in order to not let the other party get ahead and still not be too conspicuous, she discussed with Lu Xun.

“Mr. Lu, I want to buy more rough stones, but I’m afraid it’s too showy to do it in front of the live broadcast, so could you temporarily put them under your friend’s name?”

Lu Xun smiled and said, “No problem.”

He spoke with Yu Zihang, who naturally did not object.

Luo Ning then gave him the list of numbers she had noted down and a bank card, asking him to help purchase the rough stones she had her eye on.

Yu Zihang handed it over to his assistant, telling him to hurry and make the purchase.

Lu Xun was also looking, noting down the numbers of the rough stones he was interested in, staggered with Luo Ning’s.

He wasn’t selecting for himself but purely to help a good friend and incidentally to play a trick on the Feng Family.

As Lu Xun wrote, Yu Zihang’s assistant hurried to make the purchases.

Soon, a group of them walked to the central transaction area.

The rough stones here were plentiful, and the quality was better, thus relatively more expensive.

Luo Ning was interested in one particularly ugly-looking rough stone and listed it, this time to buy in her own name.

Ji Xinghang volunteered to run errands, taking the list to make the payment.

At this moment, Feng Yuxiao’s group also arrived at this area.

Luo Ning saw Feng Yuxiao stretching out her hand, touching one rough stone after another.

Then inadvertently, she noticed that every time Feng Yuxiao touched a rough stone with jade, a wisp of Yin Sha Qi would appear on her hand.

Luo Ning observed carefully and quickly discovered the reason.

She was also somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Feng Yuxiao to have raised a little ghost.

This woman was able to determine the presence of jade in the rough stones with such means; no wonder she felt the need to touch them one by one.

It must be the little ghost she raised, sensing the energy in the rough stones and then relaying the information to Feng Yuxiao.

Feng Yuxiao noted down the numbers of the rough stones she was interested in.

A slight smile appeared on her face; although she had found some rough stones with jade earlier, their quality was quite ordinary.

The quality of the jade in these rough stones was much better.

When she touched that ugliest stone, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She told her assistant behind her, “Quickly go buy this rough stone.”

The old man following them said, “Miss, this stone doesn’t seem likely to yield jade!”

Feng Yuxiao, of course, wouldn’t tell him that there was definitely good quality jade inside.

She raised her hand to tidy her hair and said, “I just like this rough stone, buying it won’t be a mistake.”

Before coming here, Feng Yanbai had already witnessed his daughter’s stone gambling abilities, so he said with a smile, “If Yuxiao likes it, then let’s buy it.”

The old man felt they were wasting their money, but he didn’t say anything more.

Bo Xiangxiang, who had also walked over, took an immediate liking to the same ugly rough stone.

She couldn’t tell its worth, but her strong intuition told her that she absolutely needed to buy this piece of raw material.

So, she quickly ran to the checkout counter, only to find she was a step too late; she was informed that the rough stone had already been purchased by someone else.

Similarly, Feng Yuxiao’s assistant was also a step behind.

Once a rough stone in the trading area is purchased, the organizers of the public auction will place a red paper on it, indicating it has been sold.

This meant that everyone else no longer needed to consider the raw materials marked with red paper.

As Ji Xinghang and Yu Zihang’s assistant finished paying, the organizers immediately went and placed red paper on the stone.

Seeing the staff putting red paper on the raw materials she had her eye on, Feng Yuxiao’s smile deepened.

This time she was sure to become an overnight sensation in the stone gambling community, and her grandfather would surely hold her in even higher regard.

On the Feng family side, even though her brother was the heir, she would become increasingly influential.

But before she could savor her excitement, her assistant came over, looking helpless.

“President Feng, Miss, the rough stone we wanted to buy has been taken by someone else.”

Feng Yuxiao’s expression changed, “What? Who bought it?”

She looked at the assistant with a blaming expression and asked, “I had my eye on these raw materials here, and you didn’t secure any of them?”

The assistant immediately explained, “By the time I got there, all the raw materials you were interested in had already been bought.”

“I asked around, and most of them were bought by President Yu from Gao Fei Jewelry, and a few pieces were bought by the star named Luo Ning.”

He always knew the Miss appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, she was not easy to deal with; if one got on her bad side, they were sure to face serious consequences.

Thus, upon failing to purchase the raw materials, he quickly went to gather information wholeheartedly.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuxiao’s face changed color again.

She pointed to the ugly stone and asked, “Who bought this piece of raw material?”

The assistant had gathered the information in his notebook and, upon hearing her question, immediately flipped through it, “Luo Ning bought it.”

Feng Yuxiao frowned, “That female star?”

Feng Yuhao spoke up, “The female star I mentioned earlier is Luo Ning; she must be the one who bought it.”

Feng Yuxiao had considered these raw materials as her own, and now that Luo Ning had bought them first, she was particularly annoyed.

Just then, she looked up and saw Luo Ning standing not far away, and so she walked over in her high heels.

With a somewhat proud look on her face, she turned to Luo Ning, “Miss Luo, is that right?”

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “Yes, I am. Do you need something?”

Miss Feng Yuxiao really carried herself high, acting as if she was the dear granddaughter of Old Man Gou.

“I heard that you bought that piece of raw material?” Feng Yuxiao pointed to the ugly stone and asked.

Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, I did.”

Feng Yuxiao spoke assertively, “I had my eye on that piece of raw material as well. I want it, sell it to me.”

Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh at her mannerisms, “Do I know you? Why should I sell it to you?”

Feng Yuxiao had disliked Luo Ning from the first time she saw her, even harboring an inexplicable hatred deep in her heart.

These feelings, although sudden, were something she truly believed in her sixth sense.

Now, seeing Luo Ning talk to her with such an attitude, she felt her dislike was indeed justified.

Feng Yuxiao took a check out of her bag and said, “I’ll pay you double the price for it, will that do?”

Her tone was even somewhat patronizing, as if buying this rough stone from Luo Ning for double the money was a great honor for Luo Ning.
