"Brother-in-law, it's me, Tang Pinliang, your Liang brother!"
"What Liang? I don't know you!"
Lin Feng responded irritably and hung up the phone.
But the other party was not discouraged, and the call quickly came again.
"Are you sick? Stop calling!"
Lin Feng was about to hang up again, irritated.
"Brother-in-law, don't hang up yet, I'm Tang Wan's brother, Tang Pinliang. We met yesterday, think carefully!"
Tang Pinliang quickly explained.
"Oh, it's you! Who are you calling brother-in-law? Who is your brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law, stop pretending. Isn't it going to happen sooner or later? Moreover, I've already decided you're my brother-in-law, so you are my brother-in-law, no one else matters!"
Tang Pinliang said resolutely.
"Forget it, call me whatever you want. Did you call me for something?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Brother-in-law, it's like this, your eyesight is so good, can you gamble on stones?"
"Today, in our second-generation rich circle, there's a gambling stone competition, and a batch of raw stones has arrived. Can you help me save face?"
"You don't know, I spent five million last time and opened a dud. I became a joke in the circle."
"So, I must rise up and sing!"
Tang Pinliang chattered on.
Lin Feng roughly understood and sneered, "Are you daydreaming? Why should I help you? I don't have time!"
With that, Lin Feng directly hung up the phone.
But this Tang Pinliang was like a stubborn stain. Lin Feng hung up the phone, and he called again.
"Brother-in-law, why do you keep hanging up my calls? I'm your future brother-in-law, you have to let me finish speaking! I'm begging you, okay?"
Tang Pinliang pleaded with a hint of desperation.
"Fine, speak quickly if you have something to say, and get to the point! Stop the nonsense, alright!"
Lin Feng suppressed the urge to hang up and gave Tang Pinliang a chance to continue.
"Brother-in-law, I was provoked in this gambling stone competition and have already placed a heavy bet with someone. I can't lose!"
"If I lose, our Tang family's company shares will be gone, and my sister will beat me to death if she knows!"
Lin Feng laughed, "What does it have to do with me if you're beaten to death? And how do you know I can help you?"
"Brother-in-law, if you help me, even if I lose, my sister won't blame you!"
"If you win, all the benefits go to you. If not, I'll give you an extra car regardless of the outcome, how about that?"
Tang Pinliang was willing to pay a high price.
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment. This deal was quite worthwhile.
"Alright, but let me say this beforehand. If you give me a car, it can't be a bicycle!"
"Brother-in-law, you can rest assured. Your Liang brother doesn't lack money. I'll give you the latest BMW!"
Tang Pinliang quickly promised.
"Okay, then send me the address. I'll be right there."
Lin Feng didn't waste any more time. After hanging up, he rushed to the address Tang Pinliang sent.
The gambling stone competition was held at Wanliu Stone Garden in Jiangcheng.
Wanliu Stone Garden was famous in Jiangcheng, a place frequently visited by rich young men and business tycoons.
It was said that the cheapest raw stone in Wanliu Stone Garden was worth over ten thousand yuan. Without substantial wealth, one couldn't afford to play!
When Lin Feng arrived at Wanliu Stone Garden, the parking lot was filled with various luxury cars, and even the security guards at the gate earned over ten thousand yuan a month.
"Brother-in-law, over here!"
Tang Pinliang noticed Lin Feng's arrival and quickly waved.
Admittedly, Tang Pinliang had some standing at Wanliu Stone Garden. As Lin Feng followed behind him, the passing security guards immediately bowed.
Clearly, Tang Pinliang was a regular here!
"Brother-in-law, do you see that person? He's the one I'm competing with."
Upon entering the gambling stone hall, Tang Pinliang angrily pointed to a胖子 (pàngzi - fat person) not far away.
This person was named Kang Xiaofu, whose family was in the entertainment business and held considerable influence in Jiangcheng.
"Tang Pinliang, is this the expert you invited?"
Kang Xiaofu noticed Tang Pinliang and Lin Feng and walked over with a cold smile. "So young, you weren't deceived, were you? Idiot!"
"Kang Xiaofu, you're the idiot! This is my brother-in-law, Lin Feng!"
Tang Pinliang retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"What!? You're saying this guy is your brother-in-law? Isn't your sister Tang Wan? Has Tang Wan gotten involved with him?"
Kang Xiaofu was slightly taken aback and seemed disbelieving.
Tang Wan was famously a cold beauty in Jiangcheng, whom many rich young men couldn't even approach.
But this Lin Feng in front of him seemed unremarkable. How could he possibly have gotten involved with Tang Wan?
"Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean 'gotten involved'? This is called dating!"
Tang Pinliang gave Kang Xiaofu an exasperated look and said impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense. Aren't you going to gamble with me? Let's start quickly!"
"Just watch and see if my brother-in-law teaches you a lesson!"
Tang Pinliang still had some confidence in Lin Feng.
"Alright, let's do it. I'd like to see how capable your brother-in-law is!"
Kang Xiaofu sneered. He had been obsessed with gambling on stones for many years, developing a pair of "fiery eyes."
And this Lin Feng in front of him, dressed in clothes from a street stall, what skill could he possibly have?
Lin Feng saw Kang Xiaofu's disdain and said nothing.
For arrogant rich kids like Kang Xiaofu, only strength could make them recognize reality!
Soon, they arrived in front of a pile of raw stones. Kang Xiaofu's appearance attracted the attention of many gambling stone enthusiasts.
"Young Master Kang, today's raw stones are all new. You can help us inspect the quality. You're an expert in this field!"
Many people flattered Kang Xiaofu.
Kang Xiaofu seemed to enjoy being flattered and said with a smile, "Good, then I'll make the first cut. But my cut will take the best stone here, so don't regret it!"
With that, Kang Xiaofu carefully selected from the pile of raw stones, shining a flashlight and touching them.
His serious demeanor was quite impressive!
"Brother-in-law, Kang Xiaofu is very good at gambling on stones. He's made a lot of pocket money through gambling on stones over the years, and he's rarely made a mistake. Don't underestimate him!"
Tang Pinliang whispered a reminder.
"Little Liang, if you have no confidence in me, then you can do it yourself. If you believe in me, then shut your mouth!"
Lin Feng was getting impatient.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I'll shut up! I believe in brother-in-law!"
Tang Pinliang gave an awkward smile and immediately stopped talking.
"Alright, I've made my choice. It's this stone!"
After about ten minutes, Kang Xiaofu finally chose a stone the size of a watermelon.
"Young Master Kang has a good eye! The opening and texture of this watermelon-sized stone are excellent!"
Many people praised the raw stone Kang Xiaofu had chosen.
Kang Xiaofu smiled triumphantly, then glanced at Tang Pinliang and Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng still standing there motionless, he was stunned. "Hey, what are you guys doing? Why haven't you chosen a stone yet? Are you playing around?"
"Why choose? I don't choose stones based on suitability, only on price!"
Lin Feng said, directly pointing to a stone taller than a person. "I'll take this most expensive one!"
