Skilled in managing a house

"Rise!" "Rise!" "Rise!" "Rise!"...

Nie Huaibo's wife Wang Xiaonan and some employees in the company's purchasing department kept shouting.

On the cutting table, there is a large gambling stone. I have cut it four times before and saw nothing. Now is the fifth cut, starting from the middle of the stone. If you still can't see the green color after this cut, you can basically declare that this gambling stone is a stone and the gambling is broken.

"Chi chi chi chi..."

The diamond gear kept turning, sparks shot out from the gambling stone, and with the sound of shouts, the diamond gear finally stopped turning.

With a "pop" sound, the gambling stone split into two halves. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two stones, followed by the sound of loss.

Nie Huaibo's face was even more ugly, and next to him, there was a woman with an even more ugly face. This woman could be forty years old. She was wearing a light purple dress and was adorned with jewels. A pair of earrings on her ears were worth millions.

She is Ye Rong, the eldest daughter of the Jinze Jewelry Group. She was promoted to executive vice president this year and is responsible for the group's overall procurement. She has been to the stone betting fair several times. In the past, she only watched, but this time she was at the helm. Of course, Nie Huaibo was an old minister and was highly regarded by the boss, so she kept silent. It was Nie Huaibo who made the decision about the stone to bet on.

Seeing Nie Huaibo fail again, Ye Rong's face was covered with a layer of frost. She glared at Nie Huaibo fiercely. Although she said nothing, silence was better than sound at this time.

Nie Huaibo shuddered, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. The first time this eldest lady came to take charge of the overall situation, she was embarrassed. She failed nine times and lost 100 million to the company. Ye Rong has always been known for his vigorous and resolute actions in the group, so she has given him enough face by not saying anything now.

"Haha...Brother Nie, it seems that your vision is not very good. Fortunately, you didn't come to our Long's Jewelry. Otherwise, our company would be the one who suffered losses this time."

A middle-aged man in his forties walked past Nie Huaibo, making a mocking sound. This person's name is Xu Feng, he is the purchasing manager of Long's Jewelry, and he is also Nie Huaibo's college classmate. Long's Jewelry once tried to poach Nie Huaibo. Xu Feng relied on his friendship with his classmates to boast in front of his boss, saying that he would be able to poach Nie Huaibo. As a result, Nie Huaibo didn't give him face, which made Xu Feng feel embarrassed in front of his boss, and also made Xu Feng hold a grudge against Nie Huaibo.

In the past few days, he has also been making purchases at the Stone Betting Market. Because his vision is not as good as Nie Huaibo's, he mainly buys finished products, and occasionally gambles on a few stones, but his luck is much better than Nie Huaibo's.

Nie Huaibo ignored Xu Feng. Now he was frowning and didn't know how to explain to his boss. I don't know how Ye Rong will punish him when she returns.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Feng smiled proudly and walked over.

At this time, a middle-aged man standing on Nie Huaibo's left said with a solemn face: "Mr. Nie, what should we do now? We have already spent more than 100 million."

This person's name is Kang Yonghua, Nie Huaibo's deputy and deputy director of the Procurement Department. Because Nie Huaibo, the deputy general manager, is also the director of the purchasing department.

"Let's choose another big one and try to get a high-quality jadeite at once!" Nie Huaibo gritted his teeth and walked towards the big stone gambling area.

Seeing Nie Huaibo say this, a joyful smile flashed across Kang Yonghua's face.

He immediately said: "Yes, if you can't get a larger piece of jade, you really can't explain it to the boss. Mr. Nie, we must choose more carefully this time."

Nie Huaibo nodded, his eyes now focused on the extra-large gambling stones in the large gambling stone area.

Seeing that Nie Huaibo wanted to bet even more, Ye Rong suddenly said, "Mr. Nie, it's already nine times!"

Hearing this, Nie Huaibo felt a sudden shock in his heart. He could tell that Ye Rong must have reached the edge of endurance. If he fails again, his past achievements may be directly wiped out.

Wang Xiaonan's heart also trembled. She was not an employee of Kanazawa Jewelry, but she was more interested in things like stone gambling, so when her husband came to open stone gambling, she would follow and watch the excitement every time. When she came across a small piece of gambling stone, she would open one with her own money to see her luck.

In the past, her husband had a very good taste, but for the past two days, all he saw were stones, which made her sweat. Now Ye Rong said this again, she quickly rushed to Nie Huaibo's side and whispered: "Huaibo, forget it today."

"Why forget it? If I can't get good jade anymore, I can't explain it to my boss. How can I get back to the company if I throw in 100 million at once?" Nie Huaibo controlled his emotions and said in a low voice.

"You have bad luck today, so you'd better bear with it for a while... The Stone Betting Competition doesn't mean it will end after today... It's not far behind this day. Didn't you always say before that you should keep a calm mind when betting on stones? , guard against arrogance and impetuosity, can't you act on your own impulse..." Wang Xiaonan persuaded gently.

She also knew that Ye Rong had given her husband an ultimatum and could not lose anymore.

His wife's words reminded Nie Huaibo. I am indeed a little anxious today. This is a taboo for gambling on stones. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose sight. It is also because you have lost too much, are under too much pressure, and your mentality has changed.

Nie Huaibo nodded and said: "You are right, I am indeed anxious. It seems that I need to adjust my mood."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Rong and said: "Mr. Ye, I'm not in a good state today, otherwise... let's wait for one more day... Next time I come, I won't let you down..."

Ye Rong nodded solemnly, then raised her legs and walked away without saying a word.

Kang Yonghua saw that Nie Huaibo stopped gambling after Wang Xiaonan's reminder, but his face instantly turned ugly, and he cursed in his heart, "Smelly bitch!"

But Nie Huaibo didn't notice Kang Yonghua's expression at all. He just looked at Ye Rong. Ye Rong just left, and he and his wife also left Longmen Stone Market together.

The two got in the car, and Nie Huaibo was going to send his wife home first, and then go back to the company to plead guilty.

I didn't want to, but I didn't drive very far when I heard Wang Xiaonan say: "Huaibo, why do I feel a little strange?"

"What's wrong?" Nie Huaibo asked in confusion.

"This is not the first time I've come to gamble with you on stones. Although luck may be good or bad when it comes to stone gambling, vision is also a major factor. There's no problem with your vision. It's never been like this before. But my luck these past two days has been really bad, and I shouldn’t have." Wang Xiaonan said.

Lao Tie has fulfilled his promise this week and updated four chapters every day. This is the third update today, and there is another chapter to follow.

In addition, today's plot feels a little slow. Originally, Wang Xiaonan was supposed to talk to Zhang Yu about the troubles he encountered. But later I felt that the effect might not be very good, so I changed it again and again, and finally settled on this rhythm.
