I Want to Hit You Once Every Day

Zeng Mo was admiring the jade bracelet on the old man's wrist. Yu Lin had never received any attention from him, and he often glanced at the woman beside him.

Whenever their eyes met, he would smile at her and then turn back to admire the jade bracelet on the old man's wrist.

However...

What Zeng Mo didn't know was that...

That was just an ordinary, casual smile from him.

The pretty young woman's heart skipped a beat. She was quite moved.

If only she could get him to ask her for something.

Then she would definitely give it to him.

At that moment, she suddenly felt hopeful. She gazed at the handsome young man, whose good looks made him seem almost unreal. Rather than dwell on her own troubles, she even lowered her eyes shyly and reached up to touch the jade pendant at her collarbone, the faintly carved white flower on it...

Very soon.

A large amount of Survival Points appeared in the old man's palm.

He handed the jade bracelet to Stone Mingqiang, feeling the powerful energy contained within it. He stared at the faintly glowing bracelet for a long while before finally placing the spirit jade bracelet into Stone Mingqiang's hand.

"Stone Uncle, the appraisal is done."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Stone Mingqiang thanked him and reached out to take the spirit jade bracelet.

After that, he felt much more energetic, as if the fatigue from standing had vanished. Yu Lin could sense that the energy within the spirit jade bracelet was extraordinary.

Then...

He stood and smiled at Zeng Mo. "What a great opportunity! You're really lucky. This is a large spirit jade bracelet. If we sell it through my company and keep the matter quiet, just the old jade, the old beads, and the old things we know about could be worth at least ten million."

"Please, Stone Uncle. You can handle it." Zeng Mo's expression remained calm as he took the opportunity to say, "I don't know how much it'll be worth. I only want ten million in cash."

Stone Mingqiang's eyes lit up.

The woman beside him also smiled and looked at Zeng Mo. "Mo, Uncle Stone is very good to you. He can help you sell this bracelet."

"Really?"

"Since this spirit jade bracelet will be sold at auction, all the wealthy families and aristocrats will want it."

"I see." Zeng Mo nodded. "Stone Uncle, how much do you think my bracelet will be worth?"

Stone Mingqiang thought for a moment. "With my company's cash flow and all its fixed assets, plus the houses and shops owned by my family, it'll be over seven million."

"Seven million? That works." Zeng Mo seemed to have expected that.

"Ah, right..."

Stone Mingqiang looked at Zeng Mo, whose trust in him was obvious, and was instantly convinced.

That was a ten-million-dollar item.

If the spirit jade bracelet had originally belonged to the Stone family—or if he had hidden it away—then even if someone eventually found out, he could simply pay seven million and claim it as his own.

But of course, he wouldn't do something so despicable as to cheat himself.

"Thank you for trusting me." Stone Mingqiang instructed his secretary to print out two contracts.

One was a contract for seven million yuan, and the other was for one thousand yuan.

He also had someone summon the legal counsel from the company.

Half an hour later.

Zeng Mo and Stone Mingqiang signed the contracts, and the deal was done.

They each received a copy.

Stone Mingqiang took his copy and felt quite pleased. Seeing how satisfied the pretty young woman was with her boyfriend, he felt that this was truly a match made in heaven.

So...

At that moment, he had risked everything he owned. He hadn't involved anyone else in taking responsibility for the spirit jade bracelet; he'd even signed a contract for it worth ten million.

He solemnly put the contract away in a safe and then took out a dark gold card, handing it to Zeng Mo.

"Mo, according to the contract, the one million yuan in this card is yours. As for the rest, once I've sold the spirit jade bracelet, I'll transfer it to you."

"Okay."

Zeng Mo accepted the dark gold card without hesitation, then took the contract and walked out with Stone Mingqiang.

Meanwhile, the pretty young woman, who had been watching everything, quickly signed a one-million-yuan contract with Stone Mingqiang. Then she rushed out of the company and hurried after Zeng Mo and Yu Lin.

The two of them had already gone down twenty floors. Zeng Mo and Stone Mingqiang were nowhere to be seen.

She hurried along on her long legs, heading for the elevator. Her high heels clicked against the floor.

There was still no sign of Zeng Mo at the elevator.

She looked anxiously toward the four elevators, three of which were lit. Two of them showed the second floor.

"They went to the second floor."

The pretty young woman's heart jumped. She quickly ran to the other elevator and headed for the second basement level.

But...

When the elevator doors opened at the second basement level, she dashed out. Her gaze swept over the rows of cars parked there, then stopped at a car pulling away from its parking space. She looked extremely disappointed.

"Wait!"

The pretty young woman suddenly stopped and lowered her voice, looking dejected. She turned around, intending to go find Stone Mingqiang and get the young man's contact information and home address.

"Miss Shi."

A familiar voice suddenly called from behind her.

The pretty young woman's heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around to look behind her. Zeng Mo stood there, his gaze calm, a faint smile on his face.

It was as if he'd been waiting for her.

"You were looking for me?" Zeng Mo asked with a smile.

The pretty young woman instinctively wanted to deny it.

But the moment she looked into the young man's bright eyes, they told her she'd better not lie—or she would lose the chance to keep in touch with him.

For a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched. She said quietly, "Yes, I wanted to find you."

"What do you want from me?"

"I'm short on cash."

"If you're short on money, you can get a loan."

The pretty young woman gave a bitter smile. "I have enough collateral. He wouldn't lend me money."

"So you want to pawn the spirit jade bracelet I helped you appraise, to cover your cash shortage?" Zeng Mo raised the bracelet in his hand.

"I don't."

"Then take it."

"Okay. I'll take it."

While Yu Lin and the pretty young woman headed to the second basement level, Stone Mingqiang had also taken the elevator and headed toward the second basement level.

He'd actually had his own ideas about the spirit jade bracelet, but he'd still been honest enough to get a contract drawn up with Zeng Mo and sell the bracelet through his company.

But...

He'd arrived at the second basement level.

Stone Mingqiang left the elevator in high spirits.

As it happened, he overheard Zeng Mo and Miss Shi talking.

At that moment, his face darkened, and he was no longer in a good mood.

That was something he'd spent forty years working hard for—his whole family's fortune!

"Do you really want to give it to me?"

Outside the elevator, the pretty young woman was still suspicious, wondering if the young man was joking with her.

"I'm not joking."

"You're not joking?"

"I'm not joking."

"Doesn't the world have free lunches? What do you want from me?"

"I want to hit you once every day."

"Ah!" The pretty young woman was startled.

"Hahaha, that was just a joke. Don't take it seriously." Zeng Mo burst out laughing. "Besides, I don't know if I want it yet. Add me on WeChat first. If I decide I want it tomorrow, I'll tell you."

"Fine." The pretty young woman nodded and took out her phone. "I'll add you. But you'd better let me hit you too."

"I'll let you hit me. Don't regret it later."

"Miss Shi."

"Shi Zhan?"

"Three million."

"It's rare for you to be so generous and offer me this spirit jade bracelet. As long as I'm in River City, just let me know if you need help with anything." Shi Zhan said seriously.

"Okay." Zeng Mo looked at Shi Zhan's serious expression and smiled faintly.

This deal was a loss for her.

But in his eyes, it was just a small favor.

After all, he would become rich within a year. And since he knew about his small jade mine, even a handful of it could be worth millions.

His judgment and awareness were completely different from those of ordinary people.

After all, when a person knew they wanted money, there was no end to what they could spend it on.

Some people were particularly important to him, but most things money could buy weren't worth caring about.

And in this world, the spirit jade bracelet he'd given to Shi Zhan was worth far less than what he'd gotten from Yu Lin. It had brought him a vast number of Survival Points.

It was just that most people were trapped by the things they already had, and couldn't see the truth.

Just like Yu Lin's uncle, Stone Mingqiang. He didn't understand Zeng Mo's actions at all and was gradually falling into his own trap.

Outside the elevator.

Stone Mingqiang watched as Zeng Mo and Miss Shi walked away.

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have taken the old man's bracelet from the display case and given it away.

That was his company's and his family's entire fortune!

In his heart, that thing was like his precious daughter. He'd even been willing to give it to Zeng Mo.

In the end, he'd let that young man take it.

How reckless.

Someone else had gotten it.

They'd been too careless.
