Kyoto, Panjiayuan Antique Market!

Although this place sells antiques, there are dozens of jade gambling shops at the end of the street. Shi Tou Zhai is the largest one among them.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, ShiTou Vegetarian Restaurant was already bustling with people, filled with a cacophony of voices.

Most tourists visiting Kyoto will come to Panjia Garden to shop for treasures.

Although everyone knows that most antiques on street stalls are fakes, there's still one genuine one in Baili!

Compared to pretending to understand, panning for antiques from street stalls is like sifting through sand. Gambling on stones can make money faster and more directly.

With a single strike, it becomes immediately clear whether it is stone or jade.

But no one cared, the water in this line was deeper than the ocean.

Only true jade gamblers understand the terror of heaven in one cut and hell in another.

The store wasn't large, about two hundred square meters. It was mostly rows upon rows of old-fashioned wooden shelves, with hundreds of jade stones arranged neatly on them.

But the raw stones here aren't very big, one kilogram, two kilograms, ten kilograms at most!

There are all-in bets for each scenario, and half-bet options for those who prefer to play it safe. Whether you win big with a single gamble or not depends entirely on your instincts and luck.

Ye Qing stood at the foot of the stairs, watching the throngs of gambling stone enthusiasts pouring in, each one intently selecting stones. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and was about to go upstairs.

"Boss, here's your package!" The manager, dressed in a black suit with a neat ponytail, saw Ye Qing about to leave and immediately handed over a cardboard box.

Ye Qing held a courier package the size of a shoebox in his hand, and with a smile, he thanked her. Manager Li gave him a glance, her eyes filled with infatuation, as she sent him upstairs.

The manager sighed wistfully, chuckling to himself that he was a good guy, but he had to admit, this kid really did have the makings of someone who could captivate children.

A man who is one meter eight tall, with a well-proportioned build.

The fair face was sharply defined, with dark and deep-set eyes that glimmered with an entrancing gaze. The thick eyebrows, the high nose, and even the smile itself all exuded nobility and elegance.

More precious still is that he did not rely on the help of his family and friends, but in just three years he built a company worth hundreds of millions with his own hands!

Ye Qing ignored the manager's little thoughts. To put it in an old saying, it was too difficult to handle.

The spacious second floor is divided into four compartments: a living room, a studio, a storeroom, and a bedroom!

But his only job was to open the window for the jadeite ore that had the highest probability of being solved.

Ye Qing placed the courier box on the boss's desk, pulled out the thick plastic bubble wrap inside, and took out a small sandalwood box!

When the lid was opened, his eyes were immediately drawn to a rich green.

Dragon Stone Emperor Green Pixiu Pendant!

My master has been playing for decades, and this treasure never leaves his side!

Ye Qing took out a strong flashlight and shone it carefully.

This piece of dragon stone pixiu is free from cotton texture and impurities, as smooth as silk, extremely moist, with a bright fluorescence and ample water content that seems about to overflow.

Held in my hand, a warm current flowed along my arm, dissipating the March chill of Kyoto!

Winter warmth, summer coolness. This is the unique characteristic of Longshi jadeite.

This legendary jade also has a very domineering name, Shenlong species!

This jade is as elusive and precious as a divine dragon.

Moreover, this piece of dragon stone Pixiu originates from the Qing Palace workshop.

The <<< object was a priceless treasure bestowed upon the governor-general of Yunnan and Guizhou by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was said that this third-rank governor-general could procure jade stones that all yielded valuable emeralds, never missing a single one. >>>

The master is the descendant of this Yun Gui Governor.

This piece of dragon stone Pixiu, if put up for auction, would be worth tens of millions, even if it wasn't over a hundred million.

Isn't this old geezer's head kicked by a donkey, daring to have millions of dollars worth of treasures delivered by express?

Ye Qing was full of suspicion, sizing up the dragon stone carved pixiu. It resembled a tiger or leopard in shape, with a head and tail resembling a dragon. On its shoulders were a pair of wings that could not be spread, and it had a horn on its head that slanted backward. The carving was exquisite, impeccable!

"Ding." A soft beep came from the phone in his pocket, followed by an electronic voice: "You have one short message, read or cancel!"

"Read!"

"Your account ending in 9567 has received, two, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero yuan. The remaining balance is, two, zero, three, five, six, zero, zero, zero, zero yuan!"

"Damn it." Ye Qing was truly scared, he couldn't believe it, and dared not believe it.

In his right hand was a dragon stone Pixiu, and with his left hand, he quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket, unlocking it with lightning speed and opening the text messages. Seven

one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one billion.

Has really reached two hundred million, is this the peak of life?

Ye Qing stared blankly at her phone messages, but a voice from WeChat requested a video call.

"Once I'm married, I slowly turn bad. Money goes into my pocket, and it's never coming out again. Sweet words flow like a sack of grain, costing ten or twenty bucks. They say rich men become bad after marriage, but before the wedding, they were such good little angels...."

The manager, pushing the door open, heard the funny lyrics and burst out laughing, gasping for air. "Boss, boss, what kind of ringtone is this? Don't daydream, answer the phone!"

"Ah!" Ye Qing only then came to her senses, looking at the manager sitting on the floor. Her white shirt and single-button black suit couldn't hide her surging waves, neatly pressed together as she sat on the carpet. Her two small hands hung limply by her side, almost breathless. She hurriedly said: "Liu Yue, get up quickly, let others see, it seems like I did something to you."

Liu Yue gently patted the mountain peaks, her gaze narrowed at him with a hint of reproach: "I really want to see what you're going to do to me. Treat me like your little fiancée before marriage and then..."

Ye Qing's hand pulled Liu Yue up, and he said with a bitter smile, "If your father heard this, he wouldn't tear me apart!"

This dashing and handsome store manager, is he a true Kyoto girl, or a high-achieving student from Tsinghua University's Business Management program?

More importantly, dad is not only his old friend's best friend, but also his own best friend. Although there is no blood relationship, they are as close as siblings.

Because Ye Qing knew his limitations, he entrusted Shi Tou Zhai to someone else and devoted himself to researching the skill of opening sky windows in jadeite stones.

"That's all the guts you have!" Liu Yue was amused by the silly lyrics and couldn't help but smile. Gritting her teeth, she said angrily: "Don't you hurry up and answer the phone, let it ring forever?"

Let it ring, I reckon that old man regrets it!

Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry to answer the phone. He inexplicably got his hands on a dragon stone kind of Pixiu, and unexpectedly received 200 million in windfall.

Two hundred million, a sum that countless people would never earn in their lifetimes, just came so easily.

Should I buy a villa first, or get that limited-edition Bugatti Veyron back?
