Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Since there was not much difference between the public and private auctions, and he had not visited private auctions very often, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go over there and take a look. It might be good to kill some time."

Du Qianqian smiled, gently took Zhou Qi's arm, and the two walked towards the private sale together.

On the other side, Shang Zizhe was picking up his number plate when he suddenly felt someone touch him. He turned around and saw it was Lu Ze.

Lu Ze nodded slightly in the direction Zhou Qi and the others left.

Shang Zizhe followed his gaze and saw the backs of the two people walking side by side. He felt a little angry at first, but then a surge of joy surged in his heart.

Private auctions are different from public auctions. There is no need for bidding. The selected raw stones can be taken away directly. There are even cutting services on site. You can start cutting after paying.

Originally Shang Zizhe thought that he would have to wait until the public auction ended before he would have a chance to compete, but now it seems that is not necessary.

He was quite knowledgeable about gambling on stones, and together with the person he invited, Lu Ze, had been learning from Lu Huanian since he was a child and had quite good skills in gambling on stones.

If the two of them joined forces, wouldn't they still be inferior to Zhou Qi? That would be laughable.

Although Zhou Qi is knowledgeable about antiques, he is definitely a layman when it comes to gambling on stones.

After all, it is impossible for a person to be proficient in everything, unless he is a god. Moreover, Shang Zizhe heard Zhou Qi say that he only had a superficial understanding of gambling on stones.

Shang Zizhe gave Lu Ze a wink, and the two of them quickly followed.

After walking for a while, Shang Zizhe suddenly quickened his pace, stopped in front of Zhou Qi, and said, "Since you want to go to the private market to gamble on stones, why don't we have a small bet for fun."

"Step aside."

Du Qianqian said coldly.

Shang Zizhe ignored Du Qianqian and looked directly at Zhou Qi, challenging him: "Say something, how can you be considered a hero if you hide behind a woman?"

Before Zhou Qi could even open his mouth, Du Qianqian was already getting impatient.

"Are you done yet? For Uncle Shang's sake, I don't want to argue with you, but please don't go too far."

"Gambling? Too childish. I feel cheap to bet with you. If you have the ability, take out 100 million to bet. Otherwise, get out of our way and don't bother us."

Shang Zizhe's face turned red after hearing what he said. One hundred million, not to mention him, even his father couldn't come up with it.

But he said unwillingly: "Qianqian, why do you always side with him? The 100 million bet is just an excuse for him. He doesn't dare to accept the challenge. What do you like about such a coward?"

Du Qianqian was about to retort, but Zhou Qi stepped in front of her and said to Shang Zizhe:

"I don't agree with your approach, but since you insist, let's bet one dollar. We're here to watch the fun in the private auction today, and the final outcome will be decided at the public auction."

"Now, please move aside and don't disturb our mood."

Zhou** thought that if he didn't agree, Shang Zizhe might keep pestering him, which was really annoying.

He did not intend to make money through gambling. Considering that Shang Zizhe was Shang Baochang's son and was the younger one in terms of seniority, and also considering his relationship with Du Bowen, he decided to just play with him this time. One dollar would not affect the harmony between them.

However, Shang Zizhe did not appreciate it. He thought Zhou Qi made the one-dollar bet because he was afraid of losing.

"One dollar? You think too highly of yourself. Even a child wouldn't make such a small bet. If you're afraid of losing, just admit defeat and say loudly that you're not as good as me and that you're a coward, and I'll let you go."

Du Qianqian frowned. She understood Zhou Qi's intentions and didn't want to embarrass her father because of this matter, but Shang Zize was really going too far.

"You think it's too little? Then I'll raise it to one million. Do you dare to take it?"

Shang Zizhe was secretly delighted when he heard this, and said to Du Qianqian with a smile: "Qianqian, we are old friends. Gambling hurts our relationship. How about this, if I win, I don't want your one million, but I just want you to kiss me and agree to be my girlfriend."

"Since you trust him so much, this condition is not too much, right? Do you dare to accept it?"

This was obviously a provocation, and Zhou Qi thought Du Qianqian would directly refuse.

She suddenly smiled and asked softly, "Okay, but what will you do if you lose?"

Shang Zizhe was afraid that she would disagree, so he quickly said, "If I lose, I promise not to appear in front of you again, and I will learn to crawl like a dog in public. That should be fine, right?"

"Haha, don't worry, I definitely won't lose." He said confidently.

"Then it's settled."

Du Qianqian glanced at him, pulled Zhou Qi and turned away, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think I'm too childish?"

"A little bit." Zhou Qi replied.

"But I believe you won't let me lose to others, right?" Du Qianqian said.

Zhou Qi smiled bitterly. Women's minds are really hard to figure out.

He knew that Du Qianqian did this to confirm her position in the other person's heart, even in this way.

"What if I say I'm not good at gambling on stones?" Zhou Qi asked.

Du Qianqian blinked and replied, "I don't believe it. Even if you are not good at it, you can always find a way. If not, I can find a way to win it back myself."

"How do you plan to win?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

“It costs money.”

Du Qianqian explained: "Since the public auction is in the form of bidding, there must be many experts participating. I will follow their strategy. When it comes to capital, I have much more than him."

Zhou Qi felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble, and was about to persuade her to cancel the bet, when Shi Shang Zizhe shouted from the side:

"Qianqian, the bet is done, I will definitely win! After winning, you have to give me a big kiss in public!"

Du Qianqian's face was full of disgust.

Zhou Qi was also unhappy, but then he thought it would be a good idea to get rid of this annoying guy once and for all.

Shang Zizhe and Lu Ze kept circling around them, and the two could only pretend not to see them.

After entering the private store, Shang Zizhe seemed to be at home, showing off his knowledge incessantly. Most of the words were spoken to Du Qianqian, just to show off.

Especially when he saw Zhou Qi didn't seem to understand, he became even more complacent. However, the more he behaved like this, the more Du Qianqian was disgusted.

"This stone is very beautiful. Could there be jade hidden inside it?" Du Qianqian asked curiously, looking at the small stone in Zhou Qi's hand.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "If you like it, buy it. You will know whether it is jade or not after you cut it open."

Just as Zhou Qi was about to pay, Shang Zizhe and Lu Ze came over.

Shang Zizhe glanced at the stone and said contemptuously: "Although the surface of this stone looks green, it's actually an illusion. The surface of this kind of stone is too smooth. Most of them are ordinary and have no value."

"Qianqian, let me help you choose."

Shang Zizhe suggested. However, Du Qianqian and Zhou Qi ignored him.

After Zhou Qi paid the money, he held the stone and said:

"This stone is really nice. I think it suits my taste. We will cut it open and see if there is jade or not. The most important thing is to enjoy the process."

Du Qianqian nodded in agreement. This was her first time trying gambling on stones, and her heart was full of anticipation and curiosity.
