School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 117: Call Daddy


"Little bastard, watch your mouth!"

Time and again, Xu Fan had managed to get the better of him verbally, and now Chen Longhu was so angry that his face was red and his neck thick!

Even Xiao Lan was beginning to feel embarrassed.

This guy, it was one thing to take advantage of Chen Longhu, but how did he end up dragging her into this?

Since when had she become his partner, she truly was wronged...

"Xiao Lan, this jadeite, are you buying it or not? Give me a straight answer!"

At this moment, Chen Longhu pressed her, and Xiao Lan furrowed her brows tightly.

She was well aware that, with Chen Longhu in control, he was her only channel if she wanted to buy jadeite jewelry.

No one else would dare to risk offending this desperado to do business with her.

"Alright, I'll cooperate with you this time."

Thinking of her Jade Firm beneath her, Xiao Lan subconsciously agreed.

As for whether Chen Longhu had any tricks up his sleeve, she would deal with them as they came.

"Hey, wait a second."

No sooner had she agreed than Xu Fan chimed in.

"Xu Fan, don't you know you talk too much?"

With the fish already hooked, Chen Longhu glared at Xu Fan, annoyed by the interruption.

If it weren't for the worry of ruining the plan, he would have had his men beat this bastard half to death!

"When adults are talking, why would a child butt in?"

Xu Fan rolled his eyes, ignoring Chen Longhu, and directly said to Xiao Lan, "Sister Lan, Little Tiger is doubling the price of this jadeite. Are you still going to buy it?"

"Xu Fan, you don't understand, I have my difficulties..."

Xiao Lan started to smile bitterly, knowing all too well that it was a trap.

But for the sake of operating the Jade Firm, she had no other choice...

"Sister Lan, Little Tiger's is too expensive. Why don't you buy my jadeite instead?"

"Haha, what?"

"Xu Fan, where the hell did you get jadeite? Are you joking with me?"

At this point, Chen Longhu burst into laughter.

Xu Fan was clearly hitting on Xiao Lan, but where on earth did he have jadeite?

Even if it was for the sake of flirting, be a bit more realistic, right?

"Oh, I forgot to explain, my jadeites haven't been cut yet."

Seeing Xiao Lan also looking puzzled, Xu Fan explained with a chuckle, then had someone nearby carry over a pile of rough stones.

"Forgot to tell you guys, I got a bit itchy and, hehe, gambled on a few stones too."

"Hmm, not too many, just spent five million on them, as for where the money came from, hehe, Mr. Chen knows very well."

"You!"

So it turned out that the kid had been gambling on stones himself, and now, looking at the pile of rough stones at Xu Fan's feet, Chen Longhu was annoyed!

The five million was won from him!

In just a few words, the men Xu Fan had hired had already moved the rough stones in front of the stone cutter.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the red envelope was given and stone cutting was about to start, Xu Fan shouted, stopping the stone cutter's movements.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Xu Fan picked up a pen, walked up to the pile of rough stones he had wagered, and began to draw on them meticulously.

"What is this kid up to?"

Chen Longhu asked Jade Log, utterly confused.

Jade Log slightly smiled and replied, "Hehe, just putting on a show."

People who have gambled on stone usually knew that when Xu Fan drew lines, he wanted the stone cutter to follow his mapped-out thoughts for cutting.

However, in Jade King's view, this was merely for show!

Could this kid really see the exact location of the jade?

"Hey, kid, stop putting on an act here, who are you trying to fool!"

Jade King's mocking voice rang out, Xu Fan acted as if he hadn't heard, and by this time, he had finished marking all the raw stones. He smiled at the stone cutter and said, "Master, please take trouble."

"Eh, alright!"

The stone cutter nodded cheerfully, he didn't care about the rest, whatever the client wanted in cutting, he just went ahead and did it.

This time, following Xu Fan's recent instructions, he picked up a piece of raw stone, placed it on the stone-cutting machine, and started cutting.

Scraps of raw stone fell under the cutting by the stone-cutting machine, and seeing that he had cut along the lines Xu Fan had marked, the stone cutter switched to polishing, handling the raw stone in his hands very carefully.

"Green! There's green!"

He had just started grinding for a while when the stone in the stone cutter's hands began showing jade green, causing the bystanders nearby to exclaim nonstop!

"This?"

Watching the raw stone in the stone cutter's hands gradually reveal jade, Xiao Lan's mouth fell open in surprise.

You must know, it was Xu Fan's first time here, and the first stone he picked had yielded jade—was his luck not too good?

"Hehe, boss, looks like you're quite lucky today."

By this time, the stone cutter had already completely extracted the jade.

What he said wasn't just flattery, you must know, this piece of jade he had in his hand was worth around five hundred thousand.

"This piece is for you, consider it your hard-earned fee."

Seeing the stone cutter about to hand over the jade to Xu Fan, Xu Fan nonchalantly waved his hand, with absolutely no intention of accepting it.

This?

This directly stunned the surrounding people. To give away jade worth five hundred thousand just like that, he was either filthy rich or crazy!

"Hmph, Xu Fan, why the pretense of generosity? If you're so capable, why don't you give me a piece?"

Compared to Xu Fan's lavishness just now, Chen Longhu's gesture of giving away ten thousand worth of jade seemed miserably inadequate, and he said something spitefully.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Xiao Hu, you want one too? Okay, I'll give you the next piece, how about that?"

"Haha, you really..."

"Hmm, call me 'Dad,' and I'll give it to you."

Before Chen Longhu could finish his sentence, Xu Fan's call for 'Dad' almost choked him!

He snorted unhappily and immediately began cursing inwardly!

The old man wanted to see how many more pieces of jade this mere five hundred thousand's worth of raw stone could produce!

...

Soon, the result was out.

The result disappointed Chen Longhu and made the surrounding people understand why Xu Fan could afford to so generously tip the stone cutter an entire piece of jade.

This guy was simply incredible!

Except for a few raw stones that yielded nothing, nearly every piece of raw stone Xu Fan had brought was now worth a fortune!

Now laid out on the table were varieties of jade, dazzling to the eye, including some extremely rare types like ice jade!

"..."

The stone cutter, looking at this table full of jade, didn't know what to say anymore.

He had been working for so many years and had never once cut so much jade at once.

Recalling what Xu Fan had cautioned him earlier, he even broke out in a cold sweat.

This young man was simply too incredible; such precise calculations were unheard of...

"Uh, do you, do you still take apprentices?"

After pausing, the stone cutter looked up at Xu Fan with a face full of admiration.
