Chapter 308 Lost Everything
Chapter 308 Lost Everything
Xu Youyou stared at the golden nanmu box in front of her and the three jade pieces inside.
If it weren't for the system's instructions, she would never have bought these items.
Even now, Xu Youyou still doesn't understand what makes this thing so valuable.
[Keep the jade pendant inside, and you can do with the rest as you please.]
Xu Youyou listened to the system's words and for some reason breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "Fortunately, what you wanted was a jade pendant. If it was a golden nanmu box, I would have suspected that this was a case of buying a box and returning the pearl."
But Xu Youyou held the jade pendant and didn't know how to use it. She looked at the jade pendant, which had a red spider lily carved on one side and the word "faith" carved on the other side.
"Is this jade pendant also a token of trust? Like the Qilin jade pendant?" Xu Youyou asked.
When she was still in the novice protection period, she bid for a Qilin jade pendant at the system's prompt, and eventually traded it to He Zhilan at a sky-high price. With the help of this jade pendant, He Zhilan became the head of the He family and also became Xu Youyou's most steadfast ally, helping Xu Youyou a lot in private.
It is indeed a keepsake.
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. The quality of this jade pendant was not bad. Although it was not made of top-grade material, it would probably be worth over a million if sold alone.
The token of trust is like the key to the treasure. If a jade pendant made of this material can be used as a key, it is obvious that the treasure that is about to be opened is of great value.
"What should we do next?" Xu Youyou asked.
【wait. 】
After the system said this, it fell into silence. No matter how Xu Youyou called out, there was no response.
When Xu Youyou received the training course rewarded by the system, she also bought a few classes in the training space. However, there was no discount now, and the courses were still quite expensive to buy at the original price.
After staying in Hong Kong for another three days and visiting almost all the places there were to visit, Lu Jingyao suggested going to Macau for a stroll.
Xu Youyou doesn't have to worry about her career, as everything is handled by Xie Ran, the super hard worker. As an unemployed vagrant, the most important thing for her is to have fun.
She always yearns for places she has never been to. After arriving in Australia City and taking a walk around, Xu Youyou suddenly felt bored.
"It doesn't seem much different from other places. I've seen these scenery in Europe as well." Xu Youyou said in a low voice.
Lu Jingyao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The scenery is basically the same. You've seen too many of them. Just like Fisherman's Wharf, you've seen the Colosseum in Rome, so naturally you think the miniature Colosseum here isn't that impressive."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel a little worried: "If I have seen everything, will I find life boring?"
After she said this, she suddenly thought of Lu Jingyao in front of her. He had seen more scenery than her, and had never heard Lu Jingyao complain like this.
Lu Jingyao said, "Many wealthy people may have had it too easy. Having seen everything they could, they feel that life is empty. Therefore, they pursue things that are hard to come by in order to seek excitement in life."
Xu Youyou asked softly: "For example?"
"For example, extreme sports... or some not-so-good things... such as this city in front of us, which welcomes wealthy people from all over the world to come here for fun." Lu Jingyao did not elaborate.
Xu Youyou naturally understood that in the pursuit of excitement, "extreme sports" might still be a positive word, while other not-so-good things were particularly all-encompassing.
They came to this city which is world famous for gambling, and naturally passed by the casino. Assistant Liu had already prepared chips considerately for the two bosses who wanted to have fun.
Neither Xu Youyou nor Lu Jingyao left the field, and Xu Youyou casually handed the chips to Liu Xiangyi.
"Take it and play with it." Xu Youyou said.
Liu Xiangyi casually got 200,000 chips and was at a loss for a moment: "Boss, you should play by yourself. If I lose everything, I can't afford it."
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you win, it's yours, and if you lose, it's mine. You've finally come here, so you might as well have some fun."
Liu Xiangyi entered the casino with chips in her arms, and Xu Youyou thought it would take at least half a day for her to come out.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiangyi lost all his chips in half an hour.
The girl's face was full of regret: "Boss, my luck seems to be a bit bad today. I lose everything I play. The dealer even advised me not to play anymore."
Xu Youyou originally thought that based on Liu Xiangyi's luck, she would definitely be able to kill everyone after entering, but she never expected this to be the result.
"It's okay, it's okay, just think of it as a dream." Xu Youyou comforted.
Liu Xiangyi sighed, "I also hope it's a dream. That's two hundred thousand! Before I joined our company, I only made fifty thousand a year. Even if I didn't eat or drink, I would have to save for four years to get two hundred thousand!"
The reason why I mentioned my previous job is that 200,000 yuan is less than four months' salary for Liu Xiangyi's current job, which is not as impactful as four years.
Although Liu Xiangyi has a high salary now, she still feels heartbroken when she thinks about losing 200,000 yuan, even though the 200,000 yuan lost was Xu Youyou's money.
"Have you really never won once?" Xu Youyou asked curiously.
Liu Xiangyi made a bitter face: "Yeah, no matter what, I can't win. It's too weird!"
Xu Youyou also found it very strange. She thought of Liu Xiangyi's fate and couldn't help but wonder, could it be because Liu Xiangyi had regular income but no extra income?
Liu Xiangyi was able to make the company prosperous, and as the company prospered, her career naturally followed suit.
Gambling is a side business, and her fate probably doesn't allow her to indulge in side business, so in this way, she is completely cut off from the chance of going astray.
Although Xu Youyou had no intention of pursuing Liu Xiangyi for the loss of 200,000 yuan, Liu Xiangyi still felt very sorry. He trotted to a convenience store on the side of the road and brought out a bunch of snacks.
"Boss, I'll treat you guys to some snacks."
Assistant Liu, who was standing by, immediately winked at her when he heard her say that.
"Brother Liu, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to eat something?" Liu Xiangyi didn't understand the look in Assistant Liu's eyes at all, and handed the bag of snacks to him.
Assistant Liu couldn't do anything about this naive assistant, so he lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Xu and Mr. Lu rarely eat these kinds of packaged snacks. They're not healthy."
Liu Xiangyi quickly said, "I forgot again... I'm so sorry... How about, forget it, just pretend I didn't treat you..."
Liu Xiangyi never thought there was anything wrong with bagged snacks. It was only when Assistant Liu pointed it out that she realized that she was different from the two pampered bosses. She only considered what she ate.
But before she could retract her hand, Xu Youyou grabbed the bag and picked out a bag of snacks: "Just in time, I want to eat some lime-flavored potato chips. Thank you, Xiangyi."
