Chapter 382: Chapter 382: The Invaluable Amber

Hu Sanjiang knew he had come up against a tough nut today, and there had always been grievances between him and Chen Yu.

It seemed today’s issues were unlikely to be settled amicably.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Sanjiang immediately had some exquisite food brought over.

Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

He had been busy with all sorts of messy issues recently and was indeed hungry.

“Mr. Hu, to be honest, I just got lucky earlier. If you were to really get serious, maybe I wouldn’t stand a chance! Although there’s some bad blood between us, it’s not unsolvable. Why don’t we play a few more rounds and have a ‘Jadeite Reconciliation Match’? What do you say?”

Hu Sanjiang, representing the emerging Gourmet Association, had almost all of Suzhou City’s traditional business community betting their treasures on him.

If he settled privately with Chen Yu here today, how would the business community view him?

“Mr. Chen, reconciliation is not out of the question, but it needs to involve the whole business community of Suzhou City…”

“If that’s the case, then I must take my leave!” Chen Yu immediately stood up and casually took the three billion in assets with him.

“Wait a moment!” Hu Sanjiang hastily stood up and grabbed Chen Yu’s arm.

Although he had several billion in assets, not much of it was liquid. Otherwise, he would not need to carry his asset certificates when going out to have fun.

The three billion in assets in Chen Yu’s hands were among his most crucial core assets.

If he lost those, his cash flow would be completely severed.

“Mr. Chen, let’s talk this over calmly. How about we play once more, this time relying solely on luck?”

Frankly speaking, Hu Sanjiang just couldn’t let go of his own assets.

He wanted to gamble one last time to at least retrieve the three billion he had put out.

Chen Yu could see through the man’s intentions and said nothing more. He placed the promissory notes and assets he had in his hands on the table, then picked up half a piece of Purple Jadeite.

“Mr. Hu, don’t say I’m bullying you. All these items together are worth at least six billion. This time, you should bring six billion in chips to play.”

Hu Sanjiang swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then shakily took out an asset certificate from his pocket.

What he produced this time seemed a bit shaky; it was a stock promissory note.

As something inherently volatile, its value wasn’t constant—it might be worth six billion today, but by tomorrow it could drop to four billion.

“Mr. Chen, this is all I have with me today, is that okay?”

Chen Yu simply nodded, then leaned back in his chair.

Hu Sanjiang let out a sigh of relief and quickly called over the staff from outside, asking them to bring in any two stones at random.

However, while summoning them, Chen Yu could clearly see Hu Sanjiang making signals to the staff.

He didn’t expose it, nor did he say anything further, simply sitting quietly and waiting.

It didn’t take long for two stones to be placed in the hall.

Without a moment of hesitation, Hu Sanjiang immediately clung to one of them.

“Mr. Chen, I choose this one!”

Chen Yu glanced up and a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes.

With the knowledge in his mind, he could see the structure inside the raw stones at a glance.

Such a game could never stop him.

Not to mention he had the system as assistance; just one scan allowed him to replicate everything in his mind.

On the stone that Hu Sanjiang had chosen there was a mark, rated as protective by many experts after evaluation.

The light that radiated from within was crystal clear, pure Purple Jadeite.

The other stone, however, appeared somewhat rough on the outside, indistinguishable from waste rock.
