814 He Must Have Set Me Up
Huang Wei hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead. “After all, stone gambling has the nature of gambling. No one can guarantee a 100% increase in the price. The next piece might increase.”
He had spent more than 50 million yuan on these 20-odd raw gemstones. On average, each gemstone cost more than 2 million yuan.
In other words, he had already caused more than 2 million yuan in losses to the company.
If the next piece did not rise, it was hard to say whether he could keep his current position, let alone take credit.
Li Shikai’s expression was already very ugly, but there was no other way now. “Bring me another piece.”
Immediately, someone took another piece and handed it to him.
Li Shikai immediately roared at the man, “What are you doing? For Master.”
The person knew that Boss Li was in a fit of anger, so he didn’t dare to say anything else. He hurriedly handed the raw stone to the stone-cutting master.
Cha…
The cutting sound of the stone-cutting machine rang out again. Everyone stared at the machine, not daring to move away for a second.
At this moment, everyone saw a green light flash through the hood.
“This time!”
Huang Wei was so excited that he couldn’t control himself. He immediately cried out in excitement.
The other higher-ups were also overjoyed. It seemed that they had misunderstood him just now. As long as they could increase their prices this time, they would be able to make up for the losses just now.
However, when the master took out the raw gemstone, everyone’s smiles froze on their faces.
This time, there was indeed green, but it was the lowest-grade bean seed, and the texture was very rough.
The hope that had just risen in everyone’s hearts was instantly shattered, and the anger that it brought intensified.
“Manager Huang, what’s going on? You have to give us an explanation.”
“That’s right. Didn’t you say that these raw gemstones were all picked out by Master Ye for you? Why did two pieces collapse in a row?”
“These two raw gemstones have caused us a loss of 5 million yuan. What else do you have to say?”
“Who knows where he found the Master? We might as well choose it ourselves.”
“Maybe he and that ‘Master’ are working together to set us up?”
Faced with the higher-ups’ agitation, Huang Wei was already panicking. This wasn’t right. He had seen that Master Ye act as if he was being helped by a god, opening a piece and increasing a piece.
Why was it completely different in his hands?
Could it be that the kid had set him up?
As soon as this thought appeared, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
If that were really the case, then he was dead meat this time!
At this moment, Li Shikai, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, “Open the rest.”
When the others heard his order, they could only follow it.
They were still holding on to their last hope. They hoped that the previous two pieces were an accident and that the remaining ones would increase in value.
However, things did not go according to their wishes. The stones that followed collapsed one by one without exception.
Only after the last piece was removed did everyone give up.
Looking at the raw gemstones on the ground… No, to be precise, it was a pile of broken stones. Everyone really wanted to cry but had no tears.
This was a whole 50 million worth of stones. It could buy a few villas, but now they had bought a pile of broken stones.
As for Huang Wei, he had already fallen into the abyss, his mind completely blank.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had been tricked by Ye Feng, and it was a bottomless trap.
He embezzled more than 50 million yuan of public funds. The company could call the police.
Li Shikai closed his eyes to calm himself down, then looked at Huang Wei coldly. “Manager Huang, if you can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I will personally send you to prison.”
Huang Wei felt his legs go soft and he knelt on the ground with a thud. “Director Li, I… I was also deceived. It must be that Master Ye who set me up. I… I’m innocent.”
The group of higher-ups heard his explanation and started to curse at Ye Feng.
“Although Huang Wei was wrong, I feel that the so-called ‘Master Ye’ is even more detestable. He was clearly trying to set a trap for Manager Huang.”
“I knew it. How can there be such a powerful master? Every piece could be gambled up? It’s impossible.”
“These scammers are too arrogant. They actually tricked our Songshan Capital.”
“Although Manager Huang is suspected of oversight, it can be considered an unintentional mistake, right?”
“I think so too…”
When Li Shikai heard the higher-ups speaking up for Huang Wei, he also felt that what they said made sense.
The swindler’s methods were very clever. He cut the stones in front of everyone to win everyone’s trust. Then, he would rely on this trust to set up a trap.
If he had been there, he might have been deceived as well.
Although Huang Wei embezzled public funds and the situation was very bad, he wanted to create more benefits for the company after all, so it was understandable.
On the contrary, that so-called ‘Master Ye’ was truly too hateful, and he absolutely could not let him off easily.
Just as he was thinking about how to settle the score with that Master Ye, he saw a group of people suddenly walking toward the stone-cutting field.
“Master Ye is here to cut the stone again. Who can get a machine out?”
“Master Ye had previously solved 20 pieces in a row in the entire gambling area. He didn’t lose a single piece. This time, he will definitely be able to create another glory.”
“I’m really looking forward to seeing Master Ye cut stones again.”
“Master Ye is mighty…”
