If he won, that was fine, but if he lost...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, why not let it go,\" Li Rongrong suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled lightly, \"Why should I let it go? When someone is giving me money, why would I turn it down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ye Chen picked up his phone, \"Wanrou, transfer a hundred million to this account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen gave Elder Chen’s account information to Li Rongrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the hundred million was deposited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian’s money was also transferred to Elder Chen’s account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled lightly, \"Can we choose the raw stone now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen nodded, \"You can choose any raw stone from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian quickly stepped into the selection area; his target was the A goods section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The selection site had three sections: A goods, B goods, and C goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The A goods section contained raw stones valued between one million to over ten million, with a one percent chance of producing green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The B goods section contained raw stones valued between one hundred thousand to one million, with a one in a thousand chance of producing green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The C goods section contained raw stones valued between ten thousand to one hundred thousand, with a one in ten thousand chance of producing green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wei Xian naturally went to the A goods section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen, on the other hand, wasn’t in a rush, starting his search from the C goods section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen walking into the C goods section, the crowd shook their heads quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the young man didn’t understand stone gambling at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the raw stones in the C goods section were cheap, the chances of producing green were extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even if green did appear, it was rarely of the finest Emperor Green quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t impossible to find; there had been raw stones worth millions found there before, but that was years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced around the C section, his gaze stopping before a watermelon-sized raw stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the stone with an expression of wild joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the Divine Skill of stone gambling, Ye Chen could tell that this watermelon-sized raw stone was full green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen immediately picked up the raw stone, then wandered around both the B and C sections of the stone gambling field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that this stone was the best one, Ye Chen set the chosen raw stone on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve made my choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid actually chose a raw stone from the C section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that raw stones from the C section were mostly waste material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing a raw stone involves looking at color, pattern, and also feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone felt that Ye Chen’s selection was purely based on eye appeal; seeing one he liked, he picked it up immediately, too casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Wei Xian was examining multiple raw stones with a magnifying glass before finally making his choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian also noticed Ye Chen had chosen a raw stone from the C section, and his face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bet was certainly in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, can’t afford a raw stone from the A section?\" Wei Xian teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen remained unperturbed, \"Betting against you, any random piece from the C section will suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xian snorted coldly, \"Ignorant, I’ll see how long you can keep laughing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-06-03T08:12:50.638Z","2026-06-03T08:12:53.523Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b74e75b421848c6ebb85b6a7d0e359d3102eba851dbdedc14818a7ddaf047e1","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-509","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-507",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
