Chapter 29 Mutual Invitation

  The next few days of military training were filled with "accidents" that added a lot of fun to Su Qing's life. For example, when practicing marching in step, Su Qing found that the girl standing behind her always wanted to step on her shoes or kick her. But Su Qing didn't let her succeed, and instead made her opponent suffer a bit.

  From time to time, Su Qing's foot was stepped on by another foot; she wanted to lift her foot a little higher to kick Su Qing, but as a result, Su Qing dodged and fell to the ground. It didn't cause any harm to Su Qing, but instead, the perpetrator was exhausted, panting, and covered in bruises all over his body. That poor kid, for just 200 yuan and the favor of being class monitor, got himself into such a miserable state and was also severely scolded by the instructor for not knowing how to walk.

  Other classmates who were training together did not understand the reason for the incident, they just saw a classmate behaving strangely while walking in line. Su Qing was speechless towards the girl behind her, thinking that she made such an obvious move to trip herself up. I guess there's no need for her to take action, the person who hired her must be very angry with themselves for finding such a fool. Kong Jinghua was very angry that she didn't get Su Qing, but thought that Su Qing didn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes was. Here, only Su Qing didn't want to know, there's nothing that can be hidden from Su Qing, let alone her little cleverness.

  Because Su Qing is a day student and doesn't live in the school dormitory. During military training, except for on the playground, it's impossible to get close to her anywhere else. But now, attacking Su Qing has no effect, it's simply losing both wife and soldier, Kong Jinghua decided to wait until after military training to find fault again. Anyway, there's plenty of time, she can still take advantage of being class monitor.

  The military training ended soon, and the students began to attend classes formally. Su Qing, in addition to attending her own German language courses, would also go to listen to other language courses as long as they did not conflict with her schedule and she had time. University courses are quite leisurely for most people, but Su Qing made herself very busy and fulfilling. Learning four or five languages at the same time did not make Su Qing feel difficult, but all her time was occupied without any spare time.

  One afternoon, Su Qing had just finished class and saw Du Nian and Song Jie standing together at the school gate, whispering to each other with their faces flushed with excitement.

  Song Jie also saw Su Qing walking over with a stack of books in her arms, and pulled Du Wei to follow her.

  Su Qing had just finished class. "How come you have so many books? Let me help you carry them." Du Wei said, taking the books from Su Qing's hands.

  Looking at the large stack of books, Song Jie furrowed his brow. "Su Qing, what major are you studying? Why do you have so many classes?"

  "Suzi, how come you have books in Italian and French? I remember you're a German major." Du Xuan flipped through the book, and was shocked by the variety of books.

  "It's good to learn something when you're idle, having many skills won't burden your body." Su Qing smiled and replied, what she said was the truth. However, the two people beside her felt differently upon hearing this.

  "Su Qing, I finally figured out that your brain is different from ours. I'm still struggling to learn one foreign language and you've already learned four or five." Du Nian couldn't help but tease her with a couple of sentences.

  "Senior is too humble, I'm not that special. Just saw two seniors chatting happily, don't know what's interesting about it?" Su Qing didn't want to keep talking about herself and quickly changed the subject.

  "You also know that our family is in the jewelry business, and of course, we also do jade business. Tomorrow, a new batch of jade rough stones will arrive in Beijing, and my elders at home want to take a look, so we'll go along to join in the fun. If Su Qing is interested, she can come together too."

  "Yes, yes, gambling on stones is quite interesting, and it's exciting to crack them open. Su Qing, if you're free tomorrow, why don't you go check it out? Don't all girls like beautiful jade?" Du Xuan chimed in, egging Su Qing on.

  Song Jie and Du Nian invited Su Qing to go with them just to join in the fun. They thought that Su Qing, a young girl, was indeed clever, but they were certain that she didn't understand gemstone gambling, at most thinking it would be interesting to buy one or two cheap ones to play with. They didn't know that Su Qing understood gemstone gambling, nor did they know about her extraordinary X-ray vision ability. The Song and Du families both had elders who were experts in gemstone gambling, and they would definitely return the next day. In other people's eyes, Su Qing was just going along to watch the excitement.

  "Is that okay? You guys are going to buy jade rough stones, I'm an outsider following along." Actually, Su Qing was quite eager to go and take a look, she had never seen anyone gamble on stones before. When going to places that sell large quantities of good wool, it's usually necessary to have someone introduce you, now having someone bring her along wasn't bad at all. If there really were some beautiful jade, she could also pick out two pieces. This is what Su Qing was thinking in her heart, but on the surface, she still had to be polite.

  "How can you be considered an outsider? We are friends." Song Jie said with a smile.

  "We're certainly friends." Su Qing replied with a smile.

  "Then you can come with us tomorrow, no problem." Du Yan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "It's just that tomorrow when you see others gambling on stones, you'll also be interested in buying a few pieces. When you lose money, we won't care."

  "Don't worry, I'm just going to play around, even with a thousand or eight hundred yuan on me, it's not enough to buy jade. This time Su Qing mainly wanted to get familiar with the route and meet people in the industry. As for jade, unless it was a rare treasure, Su Qing didn't care about the rest. Besides, many wool merchants still had jade raw stones that were treated as waste materials, so it's possible that Su Qing could pick up some bargains for just a few hundred yuan."

  "Haha, Su Qing is indeed good at joking. The two of us are just onlookers, the knowledge of gambling on stones is too deep, it's not something we can get involved in. One knife rich, one knife poor, it can make a person instantly become wealthy, but also blink and make a person lose everything." Song Jie has been following his family's elders since he was young to understand some things about gambling on stones, and has seen many people become addicted to it and end up with tragic consequences. Giving Su Qing a preventive shot in advance is necessary. Su Qing's family is wealthy but also can't afford to waste money on gambling on stones.

  "Then I'll go take a look at the legendary Gambler's Stone tomorrow. What time and where should I meet you, Senpai? Please call me when you arrive." Su Qing said excitedly.

  "It's not necessary to go through so much trouble, tomorrow I'll come pick you up at home. It's also convenient for you to recognize the door and visit later, you won't be unwelcome, right?" Du Wei said with a smile as he looked at Su Qing.

  "Look at what the senior said, I'd be delighted if you went. Then I'll wait for the senior's car to pick me up tomorrow." Su Qing readily agreed to his proposal. The address of Su's house wasn't a secret anyway, and going there wouldn't be a big deal. Du Wei might just want to get familiar with Su's family.

  So the three of them decided to go see the jade rough stone together the next day.

  Nothing is wrong with saying little on the internet!
