Chapter 659: During the Gem Gambling Competition

Yun An was not in a particularly good state. When choosing his jade, he chose a stone in less than ten minutes. It was just as big as a fist. Shen Qianshu helped him to look at it. The jade was not bad.

“You are not considering to pick another stone?” Shen Qianshu asked.

“This is the one. Which one are you picking?”

After the appraisers had selected their stone, they put their name on it, and it would be deemed that they were picking that one. Shen Qianshu had not finished choosing yet as she was hesitating between a few stones. The thing about stone gambling was that professional knowledge took up 70% of the competition while luck took up the other 30%.

Some pieces looked really great, but in the end, they could turn out to not even be good.

Some of them looked like ordinary stones, but in the end, they could turn out to be very good jade.

There were many appraisers at the hall, and there were also some people of Feng Shui family businesses. The half an hour time slot given was used up very quickly, and Shen Qianshu picked a stone about the size of a fist as well. Then, she put her name on the stone.

Shen Qianshu went around the entire hall. Yun An could not be bothered, but Shen Qianshu touched every single stone.

Every appraiser in the hall had picked their desired stone.

The emcee exclaimed. “The moment we have been anticipating for has come. All the appraisers have chosen a stone. Now, we shall take a look. Who has chosen the best one? Are you excited?”

“Excited!”

Thunderous applause filled up the entire hall.

This was a very large project. After selecting the jade, they would also open it up and then hand it to the organizers for the eight appraisers to score. Entering the finals, Lu Mengxi’s stone was the first to be opened. It was very beautiful. It was a pure piece of jade with no impurities. It was one of the best pieces of jade. She threw a look at Shen Qianshu proudly and stood aside.

Yun An said, “Lu Mengxi’s stone is better than all of ours.”

Shen Qianshu was silent for a moment. “Mmhmm.”

Although her stone had not been opened yet, Shen Qianshu knew that Lu Mengxi had made a better choice than she did. Shen Qianshu’s stone did not seem very interesting. From the first cut, the green was seen. It was emerald green and looked really good. It was palm-sized, and it could be seen that the jade was not exceptionally big. There were some impurities, but it could still be made into a pendant. The clarity and purity were pretty good.

Yun An’s taste was the most unique. The one he picked was imperial green.

It was really nice.

The only thing was that there was not a lot of green jade.

Others chose pieces that were in all sorts of shapes and sizes. One of them had a carnelian, and it was the only one that had it. It turned out that the jade that Shen Qianshu had picked was not the best, but neither was it bad. She did not really notice how other’s pieces of jade looked like.

Soon enough, the appraisers gave them the numbers.

Other than clarity and purity, weight mattered a lot as well when the jade stone was carved out.

The purity and weight mattered most especially.

Yun An’s stone had a better refractive index than Lu Mengxi’s, but he had less jade in his stone. When Lu Mengxi’s stone was cut open, almost the entire stone was jade. There were no impurities too.

“For the first place, we have Miss Lu Mengxi! Miss Lu is indeed our biggest star in the appraising industry. Profound knowledge and great professionalism. Very unique. When the stone was cut open, it was bright and colorful. It is a very rare stone. Once again, congratulations to Miss Lu Mengxi!”

Thunderous applause filled up the hall.

Tong Hua stared expressionlessly as people around him boasted about Lu Mengxi.

“Lu Mengxi is so young, and yet, she has so much profound knowledge and such a unique taste. She’s just so amazing.”

“Everyone in the nation boasts about Shen Qianshu, but now, this contest has shown them that Shen Qianshu is clearly of no match to Lu Mengxi.”

“She just looks pretty. The media is the one behind all the boasting.”
