Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Not Ashad to Ask Questions Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Not Ashad to Ask Questions In the second shed, things were noticeably different upon entering. The crowd here, in terms of attire and deanor, was a stark contrast to those in the previous one—in more precise terms, if the other place was for the masses, this one was for the middle class. Bai Xiao amusingly speculated that if they moved on to the third shed, they would probably find the so-called wealthy elites.
Liu Chuanfeng and his group were not there. Soone ca over to inform Bai Xiao and Shao Ming that Liu Chuanfeng had been invited by the boss to the third shed and asked them both to go there to find him.
The ssenger had also deliberately added a couple extra comnts, and pretty much, Shao Ming got the gist—this was just a way to publicly embarrass Liu Chuanfeng.
To enter the third shed, one must show a bank statent of five million. Only with proof of five million in savings were they qualified to enter.
That ant Liu Chuanfeng was intentionally making it difficult for them. If they couldn’t even produce that amount of money, they had no business competing.
This was the true definition of being slapped in the face.
The onlookers’ smiles were clearly mockery.
Shao Ming was dumbfounded. Five million?
He had it!
But…
He quietly moved a few steps away, distancing himself quite a bit from Bai Xiao.
This was his dowry money, and he hadn’t even gotten married yet. He couldn’t let the doctor ss this up.
A thousand could be lent, but five million? That was astronomical in 1988. Many people wouldn’t make that much money in their lifetis, let alone a single generation.
Gambling on stone carries risks; investnt must be cautious.
Bai Xiao turned to look at Shao Ming, who quickly turned his head away, pretending not to know the doctor in a rather comical manner.
Shaking her head, she knew she could not count on Shao Ming at that mont.
She grabbed soone nearby. Eh?
It was Baldy, who had actually followed them here.
“Oh, hello, what’s your surna?”
Bai Xiao’s tone was too kind, her voice gentle and soothing like a warm breeze.
Baldy shuddered. Surely she wasn’t trying to charm him!
Without changing his expression, he stepped away, “I have no money!”
Bai Xiao almost spat blood, she wasn’t planning to ask for money!
Who would think she was trying to borrow money?
They treated her as if she were the plague, unbelievable.
“My surna is Fu, everyone calls Strong Baldy.”
Bai Xiao burst out laughing.
Strong Baldy!
It seed like in the years that followed, the na Strong Baldy had beco sowhat of a trend.
Baldy touched his bald head, “Laugh, many have laughed before.”
Bai Xiao calmly comforted him, “No worries, that na’s quite nice, very auspicious!”
Who knows how to comfort soone, what’s so auspicious about Strong Baldy?
“I was just hoping to learn a little, what in the raw stones attracts the highest price, maybe the type? Could you introduce to so?” Bai Xiao was unashad to ask; she had never seen them and to rack up five million all of a sudden, she might at least need a template.
Everyone around laughed.
Even the ssenger who had inford them laughed.
“Trying to cram at the last minute won’t be enough!”
“This young lady is interesting!”
“It’s my first ti seeing soone who only starts doing their howork now. What were you doing at ho?”
“Too funny, coming here to play, in a little while not even bones will be left.”
“Young lady, I advise you to just go ho. This place isn’t ant for playing.”
“Yeah, you had thinking I was about to witness a huge battle, turns out it’s just for show.”
“Stop crowding around; go back to your own business!”
The crowd dispersed.
Baldy blinked, Bai Xiao stood there baffled; couldn’t she even ask a question?
Wasn’t there a saying about not being ashad to ask questions?
