Divine Doctor's Harem



Both sides have to pay a price?

Upon hearing Gao Jun's words, Wang Chao, Duan Wuya, and Han Fei all frowned.

Gao Jun's gaze was cold, and he said, "According to the rules of our jade market, no one can fight here, and violators must be punished."

"Whether you are from the royal nobility or the common people, everyone is treated equally!"

Then, he glanced at Wang Chao and others, and said in a deep voice, "However, considering that you are all first-time offenders, I will fine each of you with a compensation of ten thousand yuan!"

"And, you must have a stone gambling match here to resolve the conflict."

He didn't know Duan Wuya, but he knew Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was a famous nobleman in Canton City, well-known along with Dong Cong and Dong Zhu, the second generation of the wealthy Dong family, and behind Qin Feng stood the Zhao family, one of the major gatekeepers in Canton City!

Qin Feng was on Wang Chao's side, and he addressed Wang Chao as "Big Brother", indicating that Wang Chao also had an extraordinary background.

So, he didn't dare to make Wang Chao and Han Fei pay too much price, just a fine of ten thousand yuan, and let them both have a stone gambling match, which could not only increase the reputation and popularity of this jade market, but also see what skills Wang Chao had.

This was a win-win-win approach, not offending either side, and maintaining his own interests and authority.

"Stone gambling?" Wang Chao was startled.

"In simple terms, it's a competition to see who can find the piece of raw jade containing emerald from a pile of raw stones! The side that produces a higher-quality gemstone will win," explained Qin Feng.

"Mr. Gao, are you joking? You want me to compete in stone gambling with a rookie who has never seen the world? Are you serious?" Han Fei said unhappily, and gave Wang Chao a cold glance.

He was a renowned jade appraisal master in the jade industry, highly respected, and his appraisal fee was in the millions. Comparing with Wang Chao, who was an outsider, would only lower his own value.

"To be precise, Wang Chao is not even qualified to compete with Mr. Han in stone gambling!" Duan Wuya sneered.

"Why?" Gao Jun frowned.

Duan Wuya pointed at the piece of raw stone in the auction hall and sarcastically said, "Mr. Han has determined that this raw stone can produce top-quality jadeite, but Wang Chao claims that the gemstone produced from it is very ordinary and not valuable."

"Mr. Gao, do you think this outsider is qualified to compete with Mr. Han?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was also speechless.

He had also examined the raw stone and thought that it was indeed of high quality, at least a top-quality jadeite.

If they were lucky, it might even be natural imperial green jadeite, which would be even more valuable.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, said that the stone was very ordinary, and he had no way to defend Wang Chao.

Gao Jun frowned.

This rough stone has been hyped up for a long time on their side with the purpose of using it to establish their reputation in the jade market.

As long as they can produce a top-quality jade from it, their jade market will definitely become famous in the industry and attract many customers.

If it turns out to be just an ordinary jade as Wang Chao said, won't it be embarrassing?

"Wang Chao, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror first. With your country bumpkin background, you're not even worthy of polishing shoes for Mr. Han. Apologize and get lost!" Gao Jun said coldly.

"Hehe, if he thinks that rough stone will yield a top-quality jade, he is indeed not qualified to compete with me in stone gambling." Wang Chao said calmly.

"What did you say? I'm not qualified to compete with you in stone gambling?" Han Fei's forehead twitched, his eyes as sharp as knives.

"You old man with blurry eyes, you'd better go home and rest early. Don't come out and embarrass yourself." Wang Chao said indifferently.

"Dare to look down on me?"

Han Fei was the first to be looked down upon like this, and he was furious on the spot, saying in a deep voice, "Fine, I agree to gamble with you in stone, but I want to add a condition."

"If you lose, you have to kneel down and call me grandpa, and lick my toes."

"What if you lose?" Wang Chao said casually.

"Hehe, I won't lose." Han Fei said confidently.

"No one is always a winner, there will always be times when one loses, and you're no exception." Wang Chao said.

"If I lose, what do you want me to do?" Han Fei said angrily.

"It's simple, if you lose, you also have to kneel down and call me grandpa."

Wang Chao remained calm, raised a finger and said, "But I don't need you to lick my toes, you just need to give me ten million."

"If I lose, I'll do as you say!"

"Alright, no problem!" Han Fei agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, since both of you have agreed, then let's go and prepare." Gao Jun said.

"The stalls on this floor are not good, there are no good stones to gamble on." Wang Chao said.

"Hehe, speaking nonsense, you, can you really tell what's good and what's bad?" Duan Wuyi mocked.

"Ignorant, biased, arrogant, and speaking without thinking, Duan Wuyi, you've brought shame to your father's name." Wang Chao glanced at him.

"What did you say?" Duan Wuyi's eyes turned cold.

"Green jadeite has appeared!"

Just as Duan Wuya was preparing to confront Wang Chao, suddenly, a scream came from the auction house.

The crowd surged with excitement, everyone eager to see what kind of high-quality jadeite would be revealed.

At that moment, the host lowered a large projection screen, projecting the jadeite that had been revealed onto the screen, presenting it to everyone.

Then, the host spoke, disappointedly saying, "It is indeed green, but unfortunately, this is not a high-quality jadeite, just a relatively ordinary one."

As soon as these words came out, the whole venue fell silent.

Duan Wuya and Han Fei, who had planned to taunt Wang Chao, had expressions that instantly turned extremely ugly.

"An ordinary gemstone, how is that possible?"

Han Fei couldn't believe the news, and immediately rushed over, squeezing into the crowd to carefully observe.

After he rushed into the crowd and carefully observed the cut green gemstone, his expression became even more grim.

Both the host and Wang Chao were right, this was indeed a very ordinary gemstone.

Although it appeared smooth and emerald green on the surface, it was only a thin layer of green, and below this layer was just ordinary color.

By the time it reached the bottom, the color was no different from an ordinary stone.

Such green jadeite would not be worth more than a thousand on the market!

"How is this possible? How could it be like this?" Han Fei's eyes were shocked, his pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't believe it.

He had clearly determined that it was at least top-quality Emperor Green, why did it turn out like this?

Why?

Most importantly, he had judged it to be top-quality Emperor Green, while Wang Chao had judged it to be an ordinary gemstone. This meant that he had lost to Wang Chao even before the stone gambling had started.

This made him feel even more frustrated!

"Is it really just an ordinary gemstone?"

Qin Feng saw the jadeite and immediately turned his head to look at Wang Chao, his eyes filled with shock, his mouth wide open, unable to say a word.

Wang Chao, he got it right!

Not only him, Duan Wuya and Gao Jun also looked at Wang Chao with changed eyes.

So many expert appraisers had made their judgments, all thinking that this stone would yield top-quality Emperor Green, but only Wang Chao had seen it as an ordinary gemstone.

This meant that Wang Chao's appraisal level was enough to surpass all the expert appraisers!

"It's impossible, this guy must have just gotten lucky!" Duan Wuya gritted his teeth, thinking to himself.

In his mind, Wang Chao had always been a useless person, but now he had suddenly become so capable that he even surpassed Han Fei.

He couldn't accept such a result and subconsciously believed that Wang Chao was just lucky.

Wang Chao remained calm and silent.

"Is this just an ordinary jade? No way!"

"They hyped it up so much before, talking about the best emperor green jade. Could it be that this jade market is deliberately manipulating prices?"

"Hehe, I thought I would see something extraordinary, but it turns out it's just junk. I won't come to this jade market again!"

"I just took a stroll around, and most of the gemstones on this floor are garbage. They are probably used to deceive people. Now even such rough stones are considered junk. There are probably no real treasures in this place."

"This jade market is really useless!"

"More than useless, they brought out such a piece of stone to create a sensation, and even cut out such a piece of rubbish. It's obvious that they are just trying to swindle money. Anyone who comes here to buy things in the future would be a fool."

"You're right. This stone was auctioned for a billion just now, but now it's revealed to be a piece of scrap worth less than two thousand. It's a scam!"

After seeing the gemstones on the screen, many people at the scene were disappointed and started discussing among themselves.

Many people even started to leave, feeling that this jade market was a scam and they didn't want to stay any longer.

Especially the buyer who bid for this stone at the auction, he sat on the ground in despair, with pale face and hopeless eyes, murmuring, "It's over, it's all over!"

He had put all his assets at stake for this gamble.

But now he got a pile of worthless stones, a complete failure!

How would he go on with his life after this?

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly, tears streaming down his face.

"This poor guy was cheated."

"It seems that this jade market is really a shady place. Everyone should remember not to buy stones here in the future."

Seeing the desperate and painful expression of the buyer, many of the other buyers showed sympathy, and their disgust towards this market deepened, filled with caution.

"It's the gambler's mentality. Who can he blame?"

"The host didn't cheat or rob anyone. He was just trying to give away money."

There were also many people in the crowd with cold expressions, showing no sympathy for the buyer, their attitude extremely indifferent.

However, these were only a small part of the people, and most of them felt that the auction house had created this situation to deceive money, and they were already leaving.

Gao Jun, seeing this scene, had a change in his expression.

Cabbage can be harvested, but if the jade market is labeled as "shady", "scamming people", "deceiving people", then this jade market is finished!

He immediately realized this, and walked up to the high platform of the auction house, grabbing the microphone from the host, and laughed loudly, saying, "Everyone, please calm down."

"That stone just now was just a public service program that we staged. The purpose was to tell everyone to be cautious when gambling on stones, and to stay calm and not bet everything."

Upon hearing his words, those who were about to leave were all stunned, stopping in their tracks and looking over in confusion.

Performance?

Charity program?

What's going on?

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Not only them, even the staff at the auction house were also confused.

What is Gao Jun up to?

At this moment, Gao Jun ignored the surprised looks of those around him and approached the buyer, whispering in his ear, "Brother, I will return your one hundred million yuan to you, but as a guarantee, you have to act in a play with me."

"Really?" The buyer's eyes brightened.

"Yes, you have to admit that you are a special guest actor cooperating with our performance," Gao Jun whispered.

After speaking, he took the microphone again and said, "Now, please allow our special guest actor to say a few words to everyone."

The buyer regained his senses, immediately took the microphone, wiped away his tears, and showed a joyful smile, saying, "Hello everyone, I am Ma Dongjin, a special guest actor invited by Mr. Gao."

"How do you like the play we performed?"

"Hahaha, didn't expect it, right? My acting skills are so good that I fooled all of you. We did this to tell everyone that gambling on stones is risky. Don't just invest all your wealth in stones just because they are hyped up!"

"Otherwise, you may end up bankrupt, your wife may leave you, your son may despise you..."

Thinking of his previous difficulties, he shed two more tears.

Gao Jun was delighted to see Ma Dongjin's performance.

As expected of someone who can come up with a billion yuan in cash, his eloquence is outstanding, and he has expressed everything Gao Jun wanted to convey.

Before Ma Dongjin could continue speaking, Gao Jun took the microphone back, smiled a few times, and then said loudly, "Mr. Ma's words are absolutely right, let's applaud and encourage."

He applauded first.

Seeing him applauding, the staff and vendors in the jade market also followed suit.

Gao Jun is the manager here, and they have to give him face.

Gao Jun raised his hand to stop the applause, and then said, "The performance just now was just an appetizer. Next, I have prepared a better show for everyone, a stone gambling competition!"

"Next, our challenger, Wang Chao, will appear and compete in stone gambling with our esteemed appraisal expert, Han Fei."

"Let's welcome them with applause!"

After speaking, he applauded again.

Others also responded one after another, and the applause thundered.

Then, the venue suddenly dimmed, and two beams of light shone on Wang Chao and Han Fei respectively.
