Chapter Ten The Exhibition Comes To An End

  The next day, the exhibition started and Zhang Ying had the bank staff take away the jade worth 300,000 yuan. The headquarters also received this news and was very satisfied with Zhang Ying's handling of it. The general manager even specially called Zhang Ying to praise him.

  There were more people at the exhibition today, but fortunately, this was also the last day of the jewelry exhibition. After finishing today's activities, this event came to a successful end.

  Yesterday, after the exhibition ended, Zhang Houying came to find Li Yang, but Wu Xiaoli didn't follow him, so she didn't know about Li Yang's repeated gamble and rise again yesterday. However, this morning almost everyone was talking about Li Yang's good luck in winning three times and rising twice, and Wu Xiaoli could only accept this reality even if she felt jealous in her heart.

  "Hmph, go ahead and gamble, best if you lose everything! Looking at Li Yang's busy back, Wu Xiaoli had an urge to go up and bite him. Ever since this person snatched away her leadership position, it seemed like all the good luck was on his side."

  "Xiaoli, after the exhibition ends this afternoon, you and Liyang will escort the jewelry to the bank together. After completing the formalities, return to the hotel!" Zhang Ying suddenly said to Wu Xiaoli, who looked up at him in surprise, then glanced at Liyang.

  "Manager Zhang, isn't it always you who handles the bank side? Are we two suitable?" Before Wu Xiaoli could speak, Li Yang, who had been instructed by Zhang Ying, turned his head and asked.

  "What's wrong with that? You're just following the bank's car, not being asked to deliver the jewelry yourself. As an assistant manager of our company, you have the right to escort it!"

  Zhang Ying smiled and mentioned that when Li Yang was an assistant manager, Wu Xiaoli turned her head to the side again. This position was almost hers, but Li Yang had taken it by luck. However, even in Wu Xiaoli's heart, she admired Li Yang's luck, saving the mayor's son, winning two out of three times at the stone gambling game, something others couldn't even think of, yet he managed to encounter it consecutively.

  "Alright, let's go!"

  Li Yang smiled wryly and shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the bank, but this way he definitely wouldn't be able to try his luck at gambling on stones today. He was still thinking about whether he could use his special ability to win a few more blocks and make some extra money before the stone sellers left.

  Li Yang didn't know that all of this was intentionally arranged by Zhang Ying. Yesterday, Li Yang's performance greatly moved Zhang Ying and made him even more determined to pull Li Yang out of the quagmire of gambling, so he sent Li Yang away, making sure he wouldn't have time to get in touch with gambling again today.

  Not to mention Li Yang's two lucky breaks, even if he had five or eight, Zhang Ying wouldn't think Li Yang could get rich from this. Having worked in the jewelry industry for eight years, Zhang Ying was very familiar with gambling on jade stones. Many people had lost everything they owned doing this, and among them were some who were luckier than Li Yang, yet ultimately ended up with nothing.

  "Hmm!" Wu Xiaoli snorted, turning her head to glare at Li Yang. In her eyes, Li Yang was becoming more and more detestable. Zhang Ying was asking her a question, what business did he have butting in, really acting as if he were the leader.

  Wu Xiaoli didn't have much opinion on Zhang Ying's arrangement. In the past few days, Li Yang hadn't made any moves against her, allowing Wu Xiaoli's mood to gradually recover. Without Zhang Ying around, Wu Xiaoli believed that she would be far superior to Li Yang in all aspects, and when the opportunity arose, she would take revenge on Li Yang and make him know that he wasn't so easily bullied.

  In the afternoon, the exhibition center was cleared an hour earlier than usual. The bank's armored cars were also parked outside. Tens of billions of dollars worth of jewelry, no one dared to underestimate it. This time, all major banks sent their most capable personnel.

  Li Yang and his team put the jewelry back in the large box, with the shop's treasure 'Crystal Flower' being personally placed in a box by Zhang Ying and then placed in the middle of the box. This exhibition has already attracted interest in the 'Crystal Flower', and it is likely that this treasure will change hands soon.

  Selling the town's treasure won't cause any loss to Zhang Ying, he can still apply for a more valuable jewel from the headquarters to be the new town's treasure, which will also enhance his influence in the company.

  One big box, two big boxes, three big boxes, Li Yang kept watching as eight identical large white boxes were loaded onto an armored car, only then did the armored car close its thick iron door.

  "This car is probably worth tens of millions now?" Li Yang suddenly sighed to Wu Xiaoli beside him, but got a white eye from Wu Xiaoli.

  "This time's jewelry exhibition is not big, it will be held in Hong Kong or Shenzhen's large-scale international jewelry exhibition, a car with several hundred million is normal!"

  Wu Xiaoli said with disdain on her face, Li Yang smiled awkwardly and scolded himself for being stupid and looking for trouble, wondering why he thought of talking to this little girl.

  "What's the big deal, at the 2007 Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, the British royal family was invited to exhibit a set of jewellery worth ￡560 million, and in just one small box there were tens of billions, flown in directly by private plane, can you imagine?"

  The bank escort beside her suddenly smiled and said a sentence, Wu Xiaoli's face originally had a smile, but one sentence made her immediately become cold as ice, making the escort who was about to flirt with the beauty hit his nose.

  Li Yang chuckled and made a phone call to Zhang Ying, then got on the bank's car behind him. There were already six people in the car, all of whom were bosses or employees of jewelry companies without their own cars. With Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli added, the 12-seat business car didn't seem crowded at all.

  Sitting in a window seat, Li Yang leisurely looked out the window. Having been to Qingdao for several days, this was still Li Yang's first good look at the city.

  Like many second-tier cities, Qingdao's roads are also congested, especially today when the jewelry exhibition ended, and there were not a few cars leaving the exhibition center. It took them more than half an hour to get out of these main roads alone.

  Since they were walking slowly, Li Yang had the opportunity to carefully observe Qingdao. To his surprise, he found that there were no bike lanes on either side of the road in Qingdao, and even bicycles on the road were rare.

  "There are no bike lanes on the road, don't people in Qingdao ride bicycles?"

  After observing carefully for a while, Li Yang couldn't help but turn his head and ask a question. There were many people in the car, but he wasn't sure who to ask, so he just expressed his own opinion.

  "Mr. Li, you don't understand this, Qingdao's terrain is high and low, bumpy and uneven, making it very inconvenient to ride a bicycle, so the government cancelled the bike lanes. Moreover, Qingdao's public transportation system is very developed, much stronger than other cities of the same level, so bicycles are not necessary here!"

  A young man smiled and answered Li Yang's question first, while others just smiled, only Wu Xiaoli sat expressionless beside them without moving.

  "Do you know me?" Li Yang asked in surprise. The young man in front of him was extremely unfamiliar, and Li Yang could be certain that he did not know him.

  "Haha, Mr. Li is probably the first celebrity of our jewelry exhibition this time. Your story of winning three and losing two has spread far and wide, not many people don't know you!" The young man chuckled, and the people around him mostly nodded in agreement, smiling at Li Yang.

  "Ah-ha!" Li Yang rubbed his nose with some embarrassment, having lost three and won two, which was understandable.

  Li Yang's fame is not solely due to his three consecutive wins and two raises, as many professional gamblers can also achieve three wins and three raises. It all depends on luck when it comes to big wins, and Li Yang's popularity is precisely because of his good fortune.

  Three times betting on the stone, many people have already seen that Li Yang does not understand the stone at all, and can even say that he understands very little. Such a person has risen twice in three bets, which can be said to be purely lucky, and both times were big rises, making many people believe that the current Li Yang is indeed blessed with good fortune.

  Most of the people on the bus have been working in jewelry companies for many years. People like Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli, who have only worked for three months and are attending the jewelry exhibition, can be said to be extremely rare. These people all have rich work experience and are naturally no strangers to jade gambling. Some people even gamble on jade themselves. Few people who have come into contact with jade gambling can resist the temptation of that one knife in heaven.

  The more superstitious people are, the more they believe in luck. As soon as Li Yang got on the car, most of these people recognized him and were extremely friendly to him. Who doesn't like to be with lucky people and see if they can also get some of their good luck?

  So as soon as Li Yang spoke up, someone immediately answered his question. This young man was also quick to grab the opportunity, otherwise there would definitely be others who would explain it to Li Yang.

  The car slowly left the downtown area, and its speed also increased a lot. It seemed that it would soon arrive at the bank. Li Yang chatted with several people around him, and it was not bad to know a few more colleagues.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  Two loud muffled sounds suddenly came, and the car made an emergency brake. Li Yang, who was not wearing a seatbelt, immediately came into close contact with the back of the front seat, hitting his nose red.
