After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Hu Sanjiang knew he had come up against a tough nut today, and there had always been grievances between him and Chen Yu.

It seemed today's issues were unlikely to be settled amicably.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Sanjiang immediately had some exquisite food brought over.

Chen Yu didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

He had been busy with all sorts of messy issues recently and was indeed hungry.

"Mr. Hu, to be honest, I just got lucky earlier. If you were to really get serious, maybe I wouldn't stand a chance! Although there's some bad blood between us, it's not unsolvable. Why don't we play a few more rounds and have a 'Jadeite Reconciliation Match'? What do you say?"

Hu Sanjiang, representing the emerging Gourmet Association, had almost all of Suzhou City's traditional business community betting their treasures on him.

If he settled privately with Chen Yu here today, how would the business community view him?

"Mr. Chen, reconciliation is not out of the question, but it needs to involve the whole business community of Suzhou City..."

"If that's the case, then I must take my leave!" Chen Yu immediately stood up and casually took the three billion in assets with him.

"Wait a moment!" Hu Sanjiang hastily stood up and grabbed Chen Yu's arm.

Although he had several billion in assets, not much of it was liquid. Otherwise, he would not need to carry his asset certificates when going out to have fun.

The three billion in assets in Chen Yu's hands were among his most crucial core assets.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he lost those, his cash flow would be completely severed.

"Mr. Chen, let's talk this over calmly. How about we play once more, this time relying solely on luck?"

Frankly speaking, Hu Sanjiang just couldn't let go of his own assets.

He wanted to gamble one last time to at least retrieve the three billion he had put out.

Chen Yu could see through the man's intentions and said nothing more. He placed the promissory notes and assets he had in his hands on the table, then picked up half a piece of Purple Jadeite.

"Mr. Hu, don't say I'm bullying you. All these items together are worth at least six billion. This time, you should bring six billion in chips to play."

Hu Sanjiang swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then shakily took out an asset certificate from his pocket.

What he produced this time seemed a bit shaky; it was a stock promissory note.

As something inherently volatile, its value wasn't constant—it might be worth six billion today, but by tomorrow it could drop to four billion.

"Mr. Chen, this is all I have with me today, is that okay?"

Chen Yu simply nodded, then leaned back in his chair.

Hu Sanjiang let out a sigh of relief and quickly called over the staff from outside, asking them to bring in any two stones at random.

However, while summoning them, Chen Yu could clearly see Hu Sanjiang making signals to the staff.

He didn't expose it, nor did he say anything further, simply sitting quietly and waiting.

It didn't take long for two stones to be placed in the hall.

Without a moment of hesitation, Hu Sanjiang immediately clung to one of them.

"Mr. Chen, I choose this one!"

Chen Yu glanced up and a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes.

With the knowledge in his mind, he could see the structure inside the raw stones at a glance.

Such a game could never stop him.

Not to mention he had the system as assistance; just one scan allowed him to replicate everything in his mind.

On the stone that Hu Sanjiang had chosen there was a mark, rated as protective by many experts after evaluation.

The light that radiated from within was crystal clear, pure Purple Jadeite.

The other stone, however, appeared somewhat rough on the outside, indistinguishable from waste rock.

But at the very core of this stone, there hid a piece of amber the size of a fist.

The amber that's popular in the market today is all artificially made with beeswax and plastic, then aged using special methods.

Real amber, on the other hand, takes hundreds of millions of years to form; its value is, needless to say, immeasurable.

"Since Hu has made his choice, the other one is mine; it's all about luck anyway, and I want to see just how good my luck is."

The two masters didn't say much, and directly carried the two large stones inside.

As the roaring of the machine started, Hu Sanjiang's heart leapt into his throat.

He had great confidence in his stone, but for some reason, he harbored an inexplicable fear of Chen Yu.

They both had already played two rounds, and that overwhelming feeling of being crushed without suspense had made Hu Sanjiang question his life.

"If Hu is in a hurry, you can go inside and stand next to the two masters," Chen Yu said, with a hint of mockery in his voice.

Hu Sanjiang repeatedly waved his hands, and somewhat embarrassedly sat down, nibbling on some food.

It was unknown how much time passed before the cutting noise finally stopped.

Just as Hu Sanjiang was about to step forward to check, one of the masters suddenly shouted.

"My god! It's really rare to find amber!"

The other master was also startled and hurried over.

The crystal-clear amber, emitting a dazzling light, lay there quietly.

Hu Sanjiang's eyes widened; the piece of amber the masters referred to had emerged from Chen Yu's stone.

Although his stone yielded a Purple Jadeite of inestimable value, he couldn't muster any joy.

The worth of amber speaks for itself; no jadeite could possibly compare.

Chen Yu stretched lazily and collected the asset proof from the table.

"Looks like I win. Thanks for the contribution, Hu," Chen Yu said.

Hu Sanjiang stood there like a statue, motionless.

The last round was his cheat; the stone was actually planted there by people from the jade shop on his behalf.

He would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Not only had he used it today, but he had also lost it.

Keep in mind that Chen Yu's stone was purely chosen by luck, even thrown to Chen Yu deliberately by him.

This very stone had yielded an amber of immense value, showing just how extraordinary Chen Yu's luck was.

"Mr. Chen! Can we negotiate? You give me back those assets, and I'll dissolve the Gourmet Association and stop troubling you," Hu desperately suggested.

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

"How can that be? I won these fair and square with my luck. If I just give them back to you, how will the jade shop continue to do business?" Chen Yu asked.

Hu Sanjiang became frantic; after all, it was a full eight hundred million in assets—at stake, and anybody would hate to let it go.

"Mr. Chen, you can ask for anything now, just please don't take these things away; I'll even give you all the jadeite that I just cut out," Hu bargained.

Chen Yu sneered, shaking the asset proof in his hand as he approached Hu Sanjiang.
