I believe Su Hang would only trust him if ghosts existed. When he first bought it, it was worth 50,000, and its true value should be around 30,000. After refining the bracelet by a factor of two, its quality has significantly improved. Since this is jade, a doubling of quality doesn't just mean a doubling of price; the price would increase exponentially.
Although Su Hang didn't understand much, he could roughly estimate the value. If Huang Feng could add 10,000, he wouldn't mind adding a few more. Merchants seek profit, and even if they know it's a good deal, they will still try to devalue it to make more money.
"Then I'll go check out other stores." Su Hang shook his head and pretended to leave.
"Mr. Su!" Huang Feng immediately called out to stop him.
Su Hang turned around.
Huang Feng's tone softened, "Mr. Su, give me a price."
Su Hang thought for a moment and held up two fingers to Huang Feng.
200,000. Huang Feng pondered for a moment. This jade bracelet was worth around 200,000. If he sold it in his store, the price could be even higher, and it wouldn't be a loss. This price was still quite ideal for him.
...
After leaving the jewelry store, the money on his card had increased from 50,000 to 200,000. It was faster than robbing a bank. Su Hang realized for the first time how easy it was to make money, incredibly easy.
In less than half an hour, he earned 150,000. This was unimaginable for the old Su Hang. Unfortunately, his energy points were used up; otherwise, he would have really wanted to do a few more deals to earn more.
Xue Qi followed Su Hang closely, completely flustered. At this moment, he just wanted to take out his phone and call his friends in Beijing, telling them to come quickly because the people here were foolish and had plenty of money.
"How did you do it?" In the car, Xue Qi couldn't figure it out. How could the price of the same jade bracelet quadruple after just one transaction?
"What do you mean, how did I do it?" Su Hang pretended to be confused.
"The bracelet, the one from just now. That manager must be blind, right?" Xue Qi was still young, and his curiosity was unstoppable.
"Then just consider him blind." Su Hang smiled faintly. "Drive, take me back to school, and find a place to eat."
"Pfft, what are you showing off for? When are you going to pay me back the money you owe me?" Xue Qi pouted.
"Isn't it just 800 yuan?" Su Hang smirked.
Xue Qi said seriously, "It's not 800 yuan, it's 821.5 yuan."
Su Hang laughed, "A nobleman like you, the young master of the Xue family, actually cares about a few cents? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Debts must be repaid, it's a matter of principle!" Xue Qi's pride was soaring.
"Don't worry, I'll give you 1,000 yuan after I withdraw some money. Drive quickly." Su Hang smirked, feeling the freedom of having money.
"Alright, just to avoid that fool coming out and beating someone up." Xue Qi said casually, started the car, and drove away.
...
At Erxian Bridge, they found a restaurant, and Su Hang treated Xue Qi to a full meal.
"Tell me, how long has it been since you last ate?" This wasn't Xue Qi speaking, but Su Hang. Xue Qi's performance at the table was no less impressive than Su Hang's, though their appetites couldn't be compared, the enthusiasm was on par.
Xue Qi picked his teeth and burped, "It's not often I get a chance to eat for free. If I let it pass, it wouldn't be my style. The food was a bit bad, but it was still tolerable."
"Tell me, you didn't bring your card or any money, are you planning to live off me?" Su Hang looked at Xue Qi strangely.
Xue Qi laughed dryly, "You're right. Because of what happened yesterday, my sister confiscated my card and money, and only gave me 1,500 yuan to live on for the next half month. I have no one else to turn to but you."
"Damn!" Su Hang spat. He thought Xue Qi had a change of heart, but it turned out he was just looking for a free meal. "Wasn't it 1,500 yuan? How did it become 800?"
"I added some gas to the car and had breakfast this morning. I wasn't careful, and that's all that's left. I didn't expect the prices in Rongcheng to be so high." Xue Qi explained.
Su Hang was speechless. Even if the prices in Rongcheng were high, they couldn't be higher than in Beijing. This guy probably never used money in Beijing, living the life of a rich kid, which was beyond Su Hang's imagination.
"Stay away from me, I can't afford to support you." Su Hang didn't want to be the one to foot the bill.
"Don't!" Xue Qi panicked, "I ended up like this partly because of you. My sister must have taken some wrong medicine; I've never seen her so angry. I apologize for what happened yesterday, okay?"
"Surprising, the great Master Xue actually apologizes?" Su Hang was amused. This guy used to be so arrogant, but now he knew how to back down?
Xue Qi laughed awkwardly, "Tell me, what's your relationship with my sister? Could you be an old lover? But she's never been to Rongcheng before, right?"
"Go cool off somewhere else. Don't follow me, or I'll hit you." Su Hang ignored him and walked back to school.
"Don't! The money I have won't even last me through today."
"Sell your car, and you'll be set."
"That car belongs to my sister; I can't sell it."
"Then I can't help you. This isn't a shelter!"
...
The two walked one after the other, disappearing at the end of the street.
...
"Hey, what a small world. Su, we meet again?"
To avoid Xue Qi, Su Hang turned into a small alley. But as soon as he entered, he heard a familiar, laid-back voice.
"Chen San?"
Looking up, he saw a group of people, led by Chen San. There were about ten of them, some with bricks, some with baseball bats, blocking the alley. A woman who was about to go downstairs to buy groceries saw the scene and turned pale, quickly retreating upstairs.
Su Hang stopped, his brows furrowed. This guy clearly didn't come with good intentions.
"Chen San, what's the meaning of this?"
With over ten people and weapons, the intimidating presence was enough to make any decent citizen back off. However, Su Hang wasn't afraid. He had faced Chen San before.
Yesterday, this guy was bowing and scraping to him, but today he brought so many people to block his way. This left Su Hang somewhat puzzled. He even suspected that Chen San might have other reasons for blocking the alley, and he just happened to walk in.
