352 I’m Not Selling Anymore
Amidst the sizzling sound of the stone-cutting machine, ten minutes passed quickly. One-third of the stone was cut off, but nothing could be seen. No one was surprised, because this was what they had expected.
Fu Yong comforted Qin Xi happily and said, “Miss, don’t be anxious. This is only a third. There must be something inside.”
However, his eyes were filled with gloating, as if he was rejoicing over something.
Gu Qing frowned and deliberately walked to Fu Yong’s side, putting a distance between Fu Yong and Qin Xi. Fu Yong’s face froze, and he immediately looked displeased. However, he was afraid that Gu Qing had a special identity, so he only snorted coldly and continued to watch the staff cut the stone.
Another five minutes passed. Just as everyone was about to run out of patience, someone shouted excitedly, “Look, the color is changing, and it’s red…”
Red?
When Fu Yong heard that, his expression immediately changed. He pushed through the crowd and rushed in. When he saw the red color, his mind buzzed.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and growled in panic, “Stop it. Listen up, stop cutting it.”
The stone-cutters stopped and looked at Fu Yong in confusion.
Fu Yong took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He looked at Qin Xi and said firmly, “Miss, I’m not selling this anymore. Take the money back.”
Everyone immediately booed and looked at Fu Yong in disdain.
“He’s too thick-skinned. What is sold is sold. How can he take back his words just like that?”
“That’s right. In the past, I thought that Boss Fu was at most petty and narrow-minded. I didn’t expect him to be a despicable person who goes back on his word. Shame on him.”
“I wonder if that girl will return the boulder. Sigh, if she doesn’t, Boss Fu will definitely not let her off.”
Hearing the people around him, the middle-aged man whispered to his assistant, “I remember that there was a security station along the way we came. Go.”
Before he could finish, he heard a deep voice. “Boss Fu, in business, the most important thing is freedom of trade. Since you’ve already sold this stone to the young lady, you should follow the rules, right?”
When everyone heard that, they immediately looked over and saw an old man looking at Fu Yong with a smile.
Fu Yong was about to fly into a rage, but when he saw the person who spoke, his expression instantly changed to a flattering smile. He jogged to the old man’s side and nodded. “Mr. Xu, what brought you here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to my shop?”
“Who is this old man?”
“Elder Xu, Xu Guochao, don’t you know him? Xu Guochao is the president of a famous association in the antique world. It’s said that he can call the shots in the antique world. Other than antiques, he also likes to collect jade the most. I heard that Elder Xu’s wife likes jade very much, so he often goes to stone gambling places.”
“I see. No wonder Boss Fu suddenly becomes a bootlicker!”
Fu Yong quickly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with an awkward smile, “Elder Xu, you misunderstood. I don’t mean to take back what I sold. I was too anxious just now and accidentally said the wrong thing. I wanted to ask her if she is willing to sell it back to me. I-I can raise the price!”
