If not for the fact that she did not have the ability to identify good pieces, she might really have become addicted. Tan Ming subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen’s eyes were gentle as he stood quietly in the crowd and looked at Tan Ming.
“Young lady, 1 couldn’t tell. You don’t show your true colors!”
“Young lady, help me take a look at this piece of mine and give me some comments!”
A few people suddenly appeared and squeezed between the two of them, interrupting their gazes.
Previously, Tan Ming had wanted to lure Tan Si into a trap, but she did not expect to accidentally take on extra work. She hurriedly waved her hand. “Uncle, I was really guessing blindly. This is my first time coming to the market, and this is the first time I’m seeing raw stones.”
The uncle in the black t-shirt saw that Tan Ming’s expression didn’t seem to be fake, but he still didn’t give up. “Young lady, I won’t blame you if I’m wrong. I have my own judgment. 1 just want to hear your opinion!”
The others also looked at Tan Ming with their eyes wide open. Tan Ming was afraid that if she relented, the others would take the opportunity to make requests. If she really had the ability, she could communicate with them. Most importantly, she was also a cheater.
Tan Ming could only look at everyone sincerely and raise her hand to swear. “I really don’t know how to tell! If I’m lying to you now, I swear I’ll be struck by lightning! I’ll definitely lose in stone gambling in the future!”
At this point, everyone chose to believe Tan Ming and did not chase after her.
Tan Si was the one who suffered the most. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Although Tan Si was wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face, Tan Ming could still feel that Tan Si’s face was as dark as ink.
After everyone dispersed to look at the raw stones, Tan Ming took advantage of the situation and chased after her. She looked at Tan Si and said, “Look at you. Why do you have to be so cheap? You’re not as lucky as me. Forget it. Don’t waste this money. Cut your losses in time. Spend 8 million and buy something of a similar grade as mine.”
Tan Si’s mind was working crazily. She still had 3.92 million yuan left. The grade of her gift could not be lower than Tan Ming’s, but even if she wanted to match her level, she had to put up a deposit of four to five million yuan! She only had so little in total. After buying it, she would have almost spent all of it!
If she bought one or two more expensive raw stones, she might be able to get some good ones. If they were not good enough, she could sell them to the shopkeeper to get back some capital. After Tan Si made her plan, she ran to the area where the raw stones were placed between 1 million and 2 million yuan.
At this moment, Tan Si had already fallen into the trap that Tan Ming had set for her, especially since she had the mentality of a gambler who always felt that she had a chance when she saw others win.
Tan Ming had achieved her goal. She pursed her lips and suppressed the smile on her face. She walked past Tan Si and walked to Jiang Zhen’s side. “Brother Jiang Zhen, let’s go.”
Jiang Zhen took the glass-type jade from Tan Ming’s hand and left the shop with her.
After spending the entire morning together and setting up a trap for Tan Si, Tan Ming’s unfamiliarity with Jiang Zhen had disappeared a lot.
After leaving One Jade Street, Tan Ming sat in the car and looked at Jiang Zhen without hiding anything. Her eyes were sparkling. “Brother Jiang Zhen, if you’re so good at stone gambling, wouldn’t you have already made fortunes by casually buying some stones occasionally?”
Through the rearview mirror in the car, Jiang Zhen could clearly see the expression on Tan Ming’s face. “I don’t gamble. I only interact with it because of work needs.”
Tan Ming didn’t quite believe it. She felt that Jiang Zhen seemed to have a cheat. How could he not use such a cheat?
Tan Ming narrowed her eyes and said suspiciously, “Do you have such powerful strength that you can resist the temptation?”
Jiang Zhen diverted some of his attention and glanced sideways at Tan Ming. There was a faint smile on his face. “My self-control is much better than you think.”
Tan Ming felt that there was a hidden meaning behind Jiang Zhen’s words.
Jiang Zhen turned around and continued to look at the road in front of him. His tone was a little indifferent. “Gamblers won’t have a good ending. No matter how good they are, there will always be times when they lose.”
Tan Ming’s eyes darted around. After a while, she nodded. “That’s true. As the old saying goes, nine out of ten bets are losing. Even if you’re powerful to the point of winning nine out of ten bets, you could still lose the entire game if you’re not careful.”
Tan Ming sized up Jiang Zhen again.
Jiang Zhen could sense Tan Ming’s gaze and his Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and did not turn to look at Tan Ming. There was no expression on his face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Tan Ming was not embarrassed at all. She asked curiously, “How old are you?”
Jiang Zhen replied, “32 years old.”
Tan Ming had an approving look on her face. “Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you. You’re so young, but you’re already living so honestly..”
