Wang Renze said to Xiao Zheng that he wanted to help him accept this bet, making everyone greatly admire him for his righteousness, akin to the legendary heroes known for their extraordinary integrity in ancient times.
However, Xiao Zheng could naturally see Wang Renze's real purpose and, disregarding it, he smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang, but let's talk about everything after the stone is cut."
Wang Renze felt annoyed inside but showed no flaw on his face, he just smiled faintly, too, "It seems Brother Xiao Zheng is very confident, well, we'll see when the time comes, after all, the outcome of gambling on stones is unpredictable."
Meanwhile, the hubbub here attracted the attention of others, and many people in the large hall came over, interested in watching the scene unfold.
These people were social elites from various fields such as business, military, politics, and science, from both Jiangcheng City and Zhonghai City, with quite high statuses.
