Not a single person in the crowd flocked around Huang Chengjing agreed to his sentiment.
"Mr. Huang, which stone are you planning to open first?" While some were looking forward to seeing just how much money Huang Chengjing was going to lose.
The purchase of more than a dozen raw stones cost at least tens of millions.
If none lived up to their potential, Golden Phoenix Jewellers would have the honor of being the first company in the industry to file for bankruptcy right as they opened their doors for business.
Moreover, with the reckless behavior of its boss, many would question Golden Phoenix's credibility and professionalism.
"I won't be opening them here, I have some appointments to make in a while. I will get them opened back at the company when I have some free time." Huang Chengjing did promise Jiang Yao he would not open the stones. As for the contest, it was considered a forfeit.
The crowd expressed regret at Huang Chengjing's reply.
Although, they were more interested in how much money he would lose after making a series of crazy purchases.
At the same time, they thought to themselves that it was important to teach their children not to get involved with deranged young girls who had no idea what was going on.
Huang Chengjing made a phone call and arranged for the stones to be transported back to Golden Phoenix's warehouse. He did not stay any longer in the trade fair and left with Jiang Yao as he was anxious to open some of the purchased stones.
As they both arrived at the fair separately, they split up after exiting the courtyard. Jiang Yao went to see Wu Zhong in the hospital while Huang Chengjing headed back to his company.
At the age where he should have been calm and rational, it was quite satisfying to be able to take huge risks and go all-out.
After all, it was quite interesting when it happened, was it not?
Then again, Huang Chengjing thought, at least a few good stones would come from his purchase. With the number of stones he bought, it was impossible not to attain at least one high-value stone.
It would be amusing if his luck was that bad.
While Jiang Yao was driving, Moe jumped out from her backpack onto the passenger seat. He found a comfortable spot to lie on and wagged his tail. "So, when are you buying me the new toy?"
