Tang Bingyun looked at the shy boy in front of her and suddenly felt a little guilty.

After all, the person in front of her was just an 18-year-old high school student.

How bad could a student who was still studying be, even if he was bad?

How could she treat him like those dissolute rich second-generation young masters?

Besides, she was on equal footing with his mother, and he had called her Aunt Tang a few times.

As an elder, she shouldn't have shown such a cold face to a junior.

"I almost forgot to ask, what's your name?" Tang Bingyun's cold expression softened considerably, and she asked in a gentle voice.

"My name is Wang Haoran."

"Wang Haoran? Good name, full of uprightness." Tang Bingyun praised him and said, "I won't take too long. I'll finish up as quickly as possible and definitely won't make you late for Evening Self-Study."

"Thank you, Aunt Tang." Wang Haoran was very polite, looking at Tang Bingyun with pure eyes.

Secretly, he was exclaiming non-stop: Wow, Aunt Tang is really something. That figure is simply... Calm down, calm down.

I'm here to steal her opportunity, not to look at her figure.

Wang Haoran composed himself and asked knowingly, "Aunt Tang, why are there so many stones on the ground? What do the numbers marked on them mean?"

Tang Bingyun's attitude towards Wang Haoran had changed, and seeing him ask, she was happy to answer his questions: "These are not ordinary stones. These are raw stones. Don't look at their unremarkable appearance, but inside they might hide priceless beautiful jade.

The labels on the raw stones are the prices, the unit is ten thousand. For example, if it says 10, it means 100,000.

For example, if someone buys this 100,000 raw stone to cut, they might make a profit or they might lose money. This is called Gambling Stones."

"Oh, I see." Wang Haoran actually already knew this basic knowledge.

"What kind of jade is considered good jade?" Wang Haoran asked about something he didn't know.

Tang Bingyun asked her female assistant to bring over a jade identification manual and patiently explained it to him.

Wang Haoran's learning ability was still very strong. After listening to Tang Bingyun's explanation, he had a basic understanding of various types of jade.

He could distinguish what was good jade.

"Cut this 200,000 one for me."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties in the shed shouted.

He had chosen a raw stone.

The Stone Cutting Master was ready to start cutting.

Everyone gathered around.

After a while, the raw stone was cut open, revealing its true appearance.

"The jade quality is quite transparent, the color is acceptable, but there are a bit too many impurities. Estimated value is 150,000." Tang Bingyun commented, and then said to the middle-aged man who was Gambling Stones: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, for making you spend money."

"I'm willing to accept the loss. Besides, I only lost 50,000, that's not much of a loss." The middle-aged man didn't care.

Then, he picked another one worth 500,000.

The raw stone was opened, resulting in a loss of 100,000 this time.

The middle-aged man seemed a bit carried away, wanting to turn his luck around, so he directly chose a stone worth 800,000.

Unfortunately, not only did he not turn his luck around, but he opened a waste stone instead.

A waste stone is worthless.

In total, the middle-aged man lost 950,000.

He chickened out.

With such a poor start, everyone else's interest also significantly decreased.

They weren't professional gamblers of stones, and some had never even tried gambling stones before.

They had only heard that Tang Bingyun had purchased a batch of raw stones and wanted to see what gambling stones was like.

Now, they had seen it.

In just over ten minutes, one person had lost 950,000.

This was too much of a money sink.

Although they were wealthy, their money was hard-earned.

It hurt.

Looking at the expressions of the people around, it seemed no one wanted to play anymore.

Tang Bingyun didn't mind this.

She wasn't running a stone gambling venue; she didn't care if others played or not.

These raw stones were originally purchased for her to open herself.

Just watching like this was boring.

Tang Bingyun prepared to pick a few stones to open herself.

"Aunt Tang, I want to try too. I want to open this 600,000 raw stone." Wang Haoran had been staring at the raw stones in the shed for a while and felt it was time to put his knowledge into practice.

"You want to play too? This..." Tang Bingyun hesitated slightly.

"I have money, I can transfer it to you right away," Wang Haoran said.

"Auntie isn't worried you don't have the money, she's worried you'll lose and won't know how to explain it to your mother."

"It's fine, it's all my pocket money. My mom won't say anything if I use it." Wang Haoran didn't bother with further discussion. He directly picked up the chosen raw stone and took it to the Stone Cutting Master.

"President Tang?" The Stone Cutting Master didn't start immediately but asked for confirmation.

"Open it," Tang Bingyun said.

She saw that the raw stone Wang Haoran chose had decent quality. Even if there was a loss, it wouldn't be much. At worst, she could cover the losses herself.

Tang Bingyun didn't want to meet Zhen Li later and be accused by Zhen Li of swindling her son's pocket money.

Those who were watching the excitement immediately gathered around.

"He has hundreds of thousands in pocket money, whose son is this?" someone in the crowd asked Tang Bingyun curiously.

"The son of Wang Xiang from Wang Corporation and Zhen Li from National Beauty Company," Tang Bingyun replied.

"Wow, no wonder! He's the sole heir to assets worth tens of billions!"

The people around were stunned.

But soon, they started to feel sorry for Wang Xiang and Zhen Li.

This young master of the Wang Family seemed a bit foolish and rich.

Someone had already lost 950,000 just now, and he still wanted to gamble on stones.

He was not even twenty yet, and he was already so good at squandering money.

Even if he inherited tens of billions in assets in the future, it would probably all be gone in no time.

Just as everyone was thinking this, under the efforts of the Stone Cutting Master, the true appearance of the raw stone was quickly revealed.

At the cut surface of the raw stone, a piece of transparent, impurity-free emerald jade was visible.

"President Tang, this jade looks quite beautiful, is it worth 600,000?" someone nearby asked curiously.

"600,000? It's worth at least 3 million!" Tang Bingyun's eyes widened as she carefully observed the exposed cut surface of the raw stone.

Because the raw stone had not yet revealed its full appearance, the final price could not be determined, but in Tang Bingyun's estimation, it would definitely not be less than 3 million.

As Tang Bingyun's words fell, the entire place was in an uproar.

They all looked at Wang Haoran in disbelief.

Wang Haoran was actually quite calm; he had seen the jade inside the raw stone.

However, to avoid attracting attention, he still pretended to be surprised:

"I... I made money, right?"

"You made a fortune!" Tang Bingyun said.

The Stone Cutting Master continued, cutting away the excess parts of the raw stone's surface, and the jade inside was almost fully revealed.

Tang Bingyun had someone weigh it and had a professional master from the factory identify it, finally giving a price of 3.5 million.

"Wow, I made 2.9 million!" Wang Haoran became excited. "This is fun, this is fun, I want to play again!"

Wang Haoran quickly "randomly" selected another raw stone.

"This raw stone is 3 million. If it turns out to be waste, you won't just not win, you'll have to pay an extra 100,000. How about we switch to a different one?" Tang Bingyun tried to stop him.

"It's okay, Aunt Tang. If I don't cut this raw stone, you will. If I cut out waste, I'm indirectly saving you money. I'll be happy even if I lose."

Wang Haoran's expression was pure, completely without any hint of pretense.

"Your little mouth is so sweet." Tang Bingyun was a little touched.
