Chapter 6- Receiving Money From the Current Head of the Wealthy Zhu Family– Zhu Zhi Ping
Xu Hao's face change into an amusing one, as he has a small grin on his lips, he looks at the Oldman and then said, "Low-Class Section, hah."
He then immediately pointed at one rock atop of the big circular table, "That one."
Following the fingers pointed by Xu Hao, the Oldman saw the ordinary-looking rock, anyone who see this will probably laugh and think that the Oldman was already the winner.
"Are you sure about that rock, young man? Hmm.... looking at the size and its rough quality, I might be the winner." The Oldman lightly smiled, eyeing Xu Hao's expression that never changes, "As a senior, I am going to give you one more chance to select another rock."
However, Xu Hao shook his head and was determined, "No. I prefer where my fingers pointed at."
"Pf.... haha, amusing.... indeed, you are humourous youth." The Oldman laughed but signaled the Jade Cutter on the side looking at their interaction.
"Cut that one, right now." The Oldman ordered the Jade Cutter, he was a man in his middle 30s.
"Y-Yes, senior Zhu!" The Jade Cutter immediately ran and grabbed the stone that Xu Hao was pointing.
Meanwhile, Xu Hao's eyes widened a little, 'Senior Zhu.... from the Zhu Family!'
He look at the Oldman and suddenly, he said that the Oldman can hear, "Zhu Zhi Peng, the current head...."
Old Zhu Zhipeng chuckles, "This Oldman is a bit surprised that a youth like you did not recognize me, well, that doesn't matter."
How can Xu Hao not know him?
It's just that he didn't care to recognize the Oldman, he just wanted the money as he was focused on it.
'Still..... Zhu Family.' Xu Hao inwardly stated, he was thinking, Zhu Family was after all the third and most wealthy family in Mallory City.
Gu Family was the first, Lin Family was the second, and the third is the Zhu family! The behemoths of this land.
"Hmmm, what? Don't tell you you are chickening out, knowing this Old man's identity?" Old Zhu Zhipeng said, as right now the two of them were in the middle of people, they were surrounded by spectators.
"Wow! It's rare to see Senior Zhu Zhipeng here, but it seems that the rumor about him having the hobby to cut jades and make fortunes was true!"
"Yeah, but who is that young man? I heard they were having a bet, 20,000 Yan was on the line."
"Wtf, 20,000 Yan! Look at that young man's clothes! I can't see if he even has a money inside his pockets."
"That's what your mother said to your father after they separated."
"T-Fuck!?"
Hearing the spectators' voices, Xu Hao maintain his cool, as he look at the rock that he picked as it was about to get cut in the middle.
He looks at Zhu Zhipeng, "Backing out is only a coward's move. Don't get too sure, Old man."
Zhu Zhipeng was lightly shaking his head, 'This boy has the audacity to just address me casually, it seems that he isn't even intimidated by me.'
He was inwardly looking at Xu Hao in a new light, looking at his temperament and calm fixated expression, Zhu Zhipeng smile as he eyed and signaled the Jade Cutter, "Start."
The Jade Cutter nodded his head, a bit excited after all, he was witnessing such a scene, he held the rock and then put it on the Jade Cutting machine, as he started to cut it in half.
Loud noisy sound reverberated, and everyone's eyes were looking at the fist-size Jade being cut, and it didn't take that long, as it was finally done!
Under every people's eyes presented in the scene, their eyes lit up in awe, as some gasped for air.
"F-Fuck! There is a Crystal Jade inside!"
"What! What! Really!?"
Immediately the spectators' eyes blinked in surprisement, as they were in awe!
'Damnit! If I knew that there was a Jade here I would have already washed out my money!'
All of them thought, looking at the green jade cut in half.
They look at Zhu Zhipeng and Xu Hao.
"Well....." Zhu Zhipeng stroke his beard smoothly, looking and a little shocked but instead of showing something, his expression was likely becoming happy and amused, as he look at the youth who also look back at him.
"I win." Xu Hao declared as he grabbed the 20,000 Yan handed by one of Zhu Zhipeng's men. Which didn't affect him, after all, this kind of amount of money was nothing to a rich noble family like this Oldman.
Zhu Zhipeng look at Xu Hao with interest, not that strange look, he sigh as his expression become gentle, "I, Zhu Zhipeng have really become too old, even identifying a rock was a useless thing for me, in the past I have always won in this kind of bet, but now.... who would have thought that I will be defeated.... it's not bad."
Hearing Zhu Zhipeng, Xu Hao merely glances at him, before shaking his head, "One's age does not determine a human's brain, knowledge and perceiving eyes are needed."
"Hmm, you're not that wrong and right." Zhu Zhipeng said as he look at Xu Hai as if he was his grandson.
But, suddenly they were interrupted by the Jade Cutter, "Uhhmm.... If Senior Zhu and this Young man excuses me, what about the Jade?"
The Jade Cutter said, placing the Crystal Jade on the round table, and Zhu Zhipeng said as he analyze it, "This is an Ordinary Crystal Jade, it can be used for accessories since this is the Jade that defeated this Oldman, I, Zhu Zhipeng will buy it for 200,000 Yan, how about it Young man? Its original price was below the price that I had made."
Noticing the Oldman's behavior, Xu Hao naturally catches on it, 'Wanting to have my favor, huh....' Looking at Zhu Zhipeng, he nodded his head and thought that it wouldn't be bad to have a connection with a high-profile head of a certain wealthy family.
"It's a deal then, Xu Hao..... is my name."
"Xu Hao...." Zhu Zhipeng muttered his name, as the two shook hands witnessed by the people in the Jade Cuttin Building.
Xu Hao grabbed the money, as Zhu Zhipeng gave him the briefcase, "There's still an additional 50,000 there, treat that as a debt for showing such a behavior, I was just teasing this youngster named Xu Hao, you are a rare youth, as some will immediately boast and spit arrogant words."
Seeing the money inside the briefcase, Xu Hao's eyes glint as he smirk, after all with this money, he can buy more Jade Rocks, and then..... Sell them!
"Thank you, Old Zhu."
"Hmm, it's nothing, haha. Money is nothing to me if it is spent right." Zhu Zhipeng laughed merrily.
Though Xu Hao was not going to continue, for now, he will stop for the day, and tomorrow or the next day he will do this again.
'I am weak, a powerless rat and I should take things in a slow approach, I may attract some greedy cats.' Xu Hao thought inwardly, he didn't have the strength to back it up yet.
Arrogance? Even if he has that, it was not in a degree of 100/100.
"I only tried my luck and betted with you Old Zhu, and I won miraculously."
Seeing Xu Hao's humble attitude, Zhu Zhipeng become even more pleased with him, he tapped Xu Hao on the shoulder and said, "Luck may be really on your side, haha! It's unfortunate that I can't stay any longer, I would like to have a chat with you, Young Xu."
"Here."
Xu Hao nodded, and he grabbed a paper handed by Zhu Zhipeng, "Kindly inform me, when you're going to this place once again if Young Su didn't mind having an Old company."
Xu Hao reassured, "Alright."
"Hmm, good this is a farewell then." Zhu Zhipeng started to walk out towards the exit accompanied by his men.
As they reach outside, one of his men asked, "Boss, do you know that boy? He called you so casually... l–"
"You don't have to know..... After all, even I, an Old veteran was almost deceived by that boy's calm facade, also his temperament and the way he analyze the situation is something else..... I have a guess that Xu Hao, that young man is not ordinary.... an Expert in finding Jade..." Zhu Zhipeng said he can sense that something was special in Xu Hao, the man who asked him didn't say a thing anymore.
"My Granddaughter Zhu Liling... must get Xu Hao on her favorable side." Zhu Zhipeng stroke his beard more, as he think of his Granddaughter Zhu Liling, who was running an expensive accessories business. They were in short of finding a piece of even a normal Jade, as the business has just begun this year.
Meanwhile, Xu Hao walks to the exit of the Jade Cutting Building, unaware that someone was eyeing him, before he called a taxi he goes inside of a Mall's bathroom.
Suddenly the briefcase with money inside of it vanished, and Xu Hao become at ease.
"It's fortunate that using Space Inventory did not cost me a Spiritual Qi." Xu Hao said, as he then started his journey back to his house.
Tosing the contact information given to him by Zhu Zhipeng, Xu Hao's eyes glinted.
