The Queen Travels to the Modern Times

Chapter 104 Gambling on Stones

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan have been friends for many years. When they heard that there was a bustling gambling stone market in the market recently, they couldn't help but feel curious and decided to go together to take a look.

When they got there, they saw a huge crowd of people and heard a lot of noise. They struggled to move through the crowd, looking around.

An old man stood in front of a large stone, his expression focused, his hand gently stroking the stone surface, and the people around him looked at him with admiration. Huo Ping whispered to Fan Yuxuan: "Look, this may be a master."

The two of them quietly approached the old man, wanting to hear his advice. At this time, a young man hurried over, his eyes full of anxiety, and shouted to the old man: "Master, please help me, I gambled several stones and lost a lot of money."

The old man just shook his head slightly and sighed, "When it comes to gambling on stones, you can't be impatient. You need patience and vision." His voice was not loud, but it made everyone around him quiet down.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan looked at each other and were glad that they were just here to take a look and not to rashly get involved.

However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise. It turned out that a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes picked up a stone at random, and after cutting it open, a priceless jadeite was revealed. For a moment, the whole audience was boiling.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were also shocked by this sudden surprise, and a ripple appeared in their hearts. But in the end, they gritted their teeth, resisted the urge, and left this place full of temptation.

In their spare time, Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan came to the bustling jade market, which was crowded with people and shouts.

The two curiously walked among the crowd, their eyes were often attracted by the people gathered around the gambling stone stalls. They approached a popular stall and saw a man who looked like an expert confidently selected a stone. He cut it with a knife and it was full of emerald green, and the people around him cheered and applauded.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were stunned, amazed and curious. However, after watching several gambling games, they could only watch, knowing that the tricks were unfathomable.

"Let's go, let's take a look and then go back to the company. This is not something we can handle." Huo Ping pulled Fan Yuxuan's sleeve.

Although Fan Yuxuan was a little reluctant, he nodded. The two turned to leave, but after a few steps, a mysterious old man suddenly blocked their way.

The old man looked up and down at Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan with a deep gaze, then lowered his voice and said, "Young men, I think you have a destiny with this place. You can take this stone." As he spoke, the old man handed over an inconspicuous stone.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan looked at each other, not knowing what to do. While they were hesitating, the old man stuffed the stone into Huo Ping's hand, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Back at the company, Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan couldn't help but be curious and decided to find an expert to help them take a look at the stone. When the expert cut it, the whole room instantly fell into a deathly silence, followed by the two people's uncontrollable ecstasy - the stone turned out to be a top-grade jade!

Who could have thought that the two people who were just going to take a look and leave would have such an unexpected surprise.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan looked at the priceless jadeite stone in their hands, their hearts filled with fear and relief.

"Old Huo, we are really lucky this time. Next time we must not take the risk of gambling on stones." Fan Yuxuan's voice trembled a little.

Huo Ping took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, the goddess of luck favored us this time, but it's hard to say what will happen next time. We still have to keep our feet on the ground and work with peace of mind."

The two recalled the tense and exciting scene in the gambling field, and they were still frightened. At that time, the people around them were not optimistic about the rough stone they chose, and they laughed and questioned it.

But when the rough stone was cut open and the crystal clear jade was revealed, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at it with envy and jealousy. But only Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan knew that this feeling of accelerated heartbeat was too torturous.

After returning to normal life, at first, the lively scene of the gambling stone field would always come to their minds every weekend. But every time they were about to take that step, they would think of the thrilling moment, then silently retract their feet and turn back to work.

After a period of hard work, Huo Ping achieved good results at work and was appreciated by his superiors and received a promotion and salary increase. Fan Yuxuan also signed several major projects with his expertise and received generous bonuses. Their lives are getting better and better, and they are smiling more and more.

However, just when they thought they had completely gotten rid of the temptation of gambling on stones, a mysterious man appeared and disrupted their peaceful life. This mysterious man claimed that he knew of a rare piece of stone, and as long as they took action, they would become rich overnight. How would Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan choose? Can they stick to their previous determination?

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan sat in the office with serious expressions. They knew that the company's recent real estate project was crucial, and whether it could be won would affect the future of many people.

"Can we really do a good job in this investigation?" Fan Yuxuan frowned slightly, looking a little worried.

Huo Ping patted his shoulder with a firm look in his eyes, "What are you afraid of? Our experience over the years is not accumulated in vain."

The next day, they arrived at the project site early. In front of them was a desolate open space with weeds growing all around and a few dilapidated houses in the distance.

However, during their investigation, they unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be a huge secret hidden under the ground. Whenever they approached a certain area, the detection instruments in their hands would beep wildly.

They thought something was fishy and started digging deeper. Unexpectedly, they discovered an ancient underground maze that seemed to contain precious cultural relics.

This discovery surprised and delighted them, but also put them in a dilemma: should they keep the secret and continue to complete the real estate project, or report it and let the project come to a halt?

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan are a pair of good brothers who can talk about anything. Their biggest hobby is to explore those little-known places together and look for clues left by history.

On this day, they walked into a deep mountain as usual. Deep in the forest, they accidentally found a hidden cave. Curiosity drove them into the cave, and with the weak light of the flashlight, they found a batch of precious cultural relics.

The artifacts lay there quietly, as if telling an ancient story. Huo Ping's eyes lit up, and his hands trembled with excitement. Fan Yuxuan was also unable to hide his excitement, but soon, their moods became complicated.

They knew that if they handled these cultural relics privately, they would surely make a fortune and live a wealthy life from then on. However, faced with the temptation of money, they began to struggle fiercely.

Huo Ping frowned, paced back and forth in the cave, and said to himself: "Such a huge fortune, are we really willing to give it up like this?" Fan Yuxuan leaned against the cave wall, pondered for a long time and said: "But these cultural relics belong to the country and are witnesses of history. We can't do it for personal gain..."

The two argued endlessly and spent a long and tormenting night. Finally, at dawn, Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan looked at each other with firm eyes and reached a consensus: they decided to report it to the country.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they were about to leave the cave and return, they found that the cave entrance was blocked by a group of mysterious people. It turned out that a group of criminals had been eyeing these cultural relics and had been secretly following them.

These criminals threatened Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan to hand over the cultural relics, otherwise they would never get out of the cave alive. Faced with the threat to their lives, the two did not back down. They stood close together and fought a thrilling battle with the criminals.

At the critical moment, the police came like a god and captured the criminals in one fell swoop. It turned out that the hesitation and argument between Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were accidentally heard by a policeman patrolling in the mountains. Although he did not show up at the time, he realized that there might be something wrong and quickly contacted for reinforcements.

This batch of precious cultural relics were returned to the embrace of the country intact, and Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were praised and respected by people for their just actions.

By chance, good friends Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan discovered that the address of their own property actually hid an unknown secret.

It was an ordinary afternoon when the two were sorting out old things at home and found an old land deed. After careful study, they were surprised to find that the land where their house was located was actually related to an ancient legend.

According to legend, this place was once a place where an immortal practiced cultivation and contained magical powers. However, over the past hundreds of years, this legend has long been forgotten.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were very excited. They decided to explore the secrets of this treasure land in depth and make good use of this hidden treasure.

At first, everything went smoothly. They found some strange symbols and relics near the house, which seemed to confirm the authenticity of the legend.

However, as they explored deeper and deeper, some strange things began to happen. Every night, there were always strange noises, and the neighbors around also said they saw strange lights and shadows.

Although they were a little scared, curiosity drove them to move forward. On a full moon night, when they stepped into the mysterious area again, suddenly a strong light flashed, and they actually crossed into a mysterious space.

In this space, the flowers, plants and trees all emit strange light, and a mysterious old man is waiting for them. The old man tells them that the power of this treasure land cannot be controlled by ordinary people at will, and if the taboo is accidentally triggered, it will bring disaster.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan finally woke up from their dream and realized that their greed could bring serious consequences. They decided to give up the idea of ​​using this precious land for personal gain and just treasure it as a precious memory in their hearts.

In the end, they successfully returned to the real world and cherished their ordinary and happy life even more.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan sat in the office on the top floor of the company, looking at the bustling city scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, their hearts full of worries.

They started from scratch, worked hard all the way, and finally successfully listed the company. However, as the company grew, various temptations also followed.

Recently, a project that seemed to be able to make a lot of money came to them, claiming that the project could double the company's profits. However, after careful research and analysis, Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan found that this project had many hidden dangers and the possibility of success was very small.

Many people in the company were overwhelmed by the huge profits and strongly suggested that they take on the project. However, Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were unmoved. They knew that they could not risk destroying years of hard work for the sake of temporary benefits.

At the staff meeting, Huo Ping stood up and said with a firm look: "Everyone, calm down. Let's run the company down to earth and not think about things that are not ours. The company is already a listed company, and we can make so much money. What can't we buy? But we can't lose our original intention and be misled by illusory benefits." Fan Yuxuan nodded in agreement.

This remark caused dissatisfaction among some people, who even privately discussed that Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan were too conservative and missed a great opportunity. However, not long after, the seemingly attractive project really ran into problems, and many participating companies suffered huge losses.

Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan's company has stood out from the fierce market competition and become a leader in the industry because of its steady development by adhering to the principle of being down-to-earth.

In the bustling commercial city, the members of the Wang family sat in the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and full of expectations. "We have to go to Huoping's Huo Group to learn from their experience and see how they listed their company and attracted so many projects!" The elder of the family, Mr. Wang, was the first to break the silence.

The younger generation of the Wang family was eager to try, but they were also worried. Wang Hao, the most motivated young man in the family, volunteered and said, "Grandpa, I am willing to take the lead in obtaining the scriptures."

When they finally stepped into the building of Huo's Group, they were shocked by the modern atmosphere and efficient working environment there. Huo Ping personally received them, with confidence and wisdom in his eyes.

Wang Hao was careful and found that the employees of the Huo Group were not only well paid, but also had a strong sense of belonging and team spirit.

However, as he got to know more, Wang Hao discovered some unknown secrets. It turned out that the Huo Group had also suffered a heavy blow, and Huo Ping even faced the crisis of bankruptcy. But he tried his best and even mortgaged his entire fortune to finally turn the tide.

This discovery made Wang Hao fall into deep thought. He thought back to his own company. Although it seemed stable, it lacked the determination and courage to burn its boats.

When the inspection was about to end, Huo Ping took the initiative to propose to cooperate with the Wang family on a large project. This unexpected proposal surprised the Wang family, but Wang Hao felt that there might be greater challenges and opportunities hidden behind it.
