Chapter 584: Unexpected
Not a single person in the crowd flocked around Huang Chengjing agreed to his sentiment.
“Mr. Huang, which stone are you planning to open first?” While some were looking forward to seeing just how much money Huang Chengjing was going to lose.
The purchase of more than a dozen raw stones cost at least tens of millions.
If none lived up to their potential, Golden Phoenix Jewellers would have the honor of being the first company in the industry to file for bankruptcy right as they opened their doors for business.
Moreover, with the reckless behavior of its boss, many would question Golden Phoenix’s credibility and professionalism.
“I won’t be opening them here, I have some appointments to make in a while. I will get them opened back at the company when I have some free time.” Huang Chengjing did promise Jiang Yao he would not open the stones. As for the contest, it was considered a forfeit.
The crowd expressed regret at Huang Chengjing’s reply.
Although, they were more interested in how much money he would lose after making a series of crazy purchases.
At the same time, they thought to themselves that it was important to teach their children not to get involved with deranged young girls who had no idea what was going on.
Huang Chengjing made a phone call and arranged for the stones to be transported back to Golden Phoenix’s warehouse. He did not stay any longer in the trade fair and left with Jiang Yao as he was anxious to open some of the purchased stones.
As they both arrived at the fair separately, they split up after exiting the courtyard. Jiang Yao went to see Wu Zhong in the hospital while Huang Chengjing headed back to his company.
Huang Chengjing’s assistant was on the wheels of his car. He saw Huang Chengjing sitting in the rear seat with a solemn expression and asked, “Are you nervous, Mr. Huang?”

“Slightly.” Huang Chengjing was frank with his assistant. He nodded and said, “There’s this lingering feeling of nervousness after I left the fair.”
“You surprised us, Mr. Huang.” The assistant smiled. “Even I was startled. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought you were seduced by Ms. Jiang.”
He knew about Huang Chengjing’s relationship with Jiang Yao and was aware of his boss’ crush on Ms. Jiang’s sister-in-law.
However, he did not think that Huang Chengjing was trying to go after Lu Yuqing by getting on Jiang Yao’s good side. After all, he was a very rational person.
Ever since they got to know each other, this was perhaps the most impulsive thing the assistant had seen Huang Chengjing do in his life.
“I don’t know why, but I believed Jiang Yao back then. Even though I am feeling nervous now, I have no regrets.” Huang Chengjing grinned. The Huang family was financially stronger than most people thought.
At the age where he should have been calm and rational, it was quite satisfying to be able to take huge risks and go all-out.
After all, it was quite interesting when it happened, was it not?
Then again, Huang Chengjing thought, at least a few good stones would come from his purchase. With the number of stones he bought, it was impossible not to attain at least one high-value stone.
It would be amusing if his luck was that bad.
While Jiang Yao was driving, Moe jumped out from her backpack onto the passenger seat. He found a comfortable spot to lie on and wagged his tail. “So, when are you buying me the new toy?”

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.

TDWU: His Property | ✔︎
"You know I can read your thoughts right?" He asked me smirking. He licked the part on my neck where his bite mark was, causing me to jump. A shiver ran through my body, and I moaned out loud, shocking myself. He chuckled as my eyes widened and he kissed my neck, biting it a little. "You're so...submissive when I touch you, but I guess you can't help it huh?" He asked, whispering against my ear. "This is what happens when I drink your blood...it feels so good right?"He turned my head slightly and pressed his lips against mine, "If you want to live...You and I will have to become one...I'd be giving you a share of my neverending life-span, and so basically, you'll be mine.""Forever."
