Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 520 - 523 New Regulations

The next second, Liu Ergou's voice was heard, "So, I'm going to ruin you completely!"

"I'll make it impossible for you to do any business in this city, starting with stone gambling!"

Upon hearing these words, Sun Gang was stunned for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, ruin me completely? What a boast!" Sun Gang laughed. "Liu Ergou, I'd love to see how a country bumpkin like you plans to ruin me!"

"You don't really think that just because you've cozied up to Mi Xiaoying and met Zhang Xiuming, you can do whatever you want?"

As he spoke, Sun Gang's face suddenly turned cold.

"Liu Ergou, if you're holding onto that thought, I can only say you are incredibly shortsighted and courting death!"

"Let me tell you, if you think you can ruin me, you're dreaming!"

"I'd really like to see how you're going to pull that off!"

After Sun Gang finished speaking, Liu Ergou wasted no time and turned to announce something to the crowd.

"Everyone, please quiet down for a moment. I have something to say!"

As soon as Liu Ergou spoke, all eyes in the room immediately turned to him. Seeing that he had everyone's attention, he nodded in satisfaction.

He then said, "Starting now, Ting Tian Pavilion will implement a new plan."

"When a person buys more than three raw stones, we will give them one raw stone for free!"

"We stand by our word!"

No sooner were these words spoken than a wave of surprise swept through the crowd.

"What? Giving away a raw stone for free? If that's the case, then this is going to be interesting!"

"Interesting my ass. Even if they give you a raw stone, if that one also turns out to be worthless, wouldn't that just be money down the drain?"

"Tsk, you're not even happy about getting something for free. Anyway, I'm pretty pleased. It's just three raw stones; it's not like I can't afford them!"

Listening to the discussions, Liu Ergou smiled slightly and then announced another new rule.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm not finished!"

"If all four raw stones are cut and turn out to be duds, then you can choose to get a refund for the three raw stones you paid for!"

Before the crowd could even begin discussing this statement, Sun Gang couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha, Liu Ergou, you really are a fool for daring to do such a thing!"

"If you actually do this, I'm afraid Ting Tian Pavilion will lose everything and be left with nothing in just a few days!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like I won't even have to lift a finger against you. I'll just pull up a chair and watch you dig your own grave!"

Hearing Sun Gang's mockery, Liu Ergou wasn't angry.

"Oh? Then by all means, watch closely. Just remember to eat and drink so you don't get tired."

After casually replying to Sun Gang, Liu Ergou turned his gaze to the others. The crowd immediately erupted into a fervent discussion with no signs of stopping. It took a good ten minutes for them to finally quiet down.

During this time, Mi Xiaoying's brows were tightly knitted as she watched Liu Ergou with a worried expression, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Hey, are you sure you'll keep your word? Don't go back on it later!"

"We've all seen that kind of thing happen before! You'd better have President Mi come out and speak!"

Liu Ergou nodded and then gently patted Mi Xiaoying on the shoulder. The gentle pat made Mi Xiaoying jump.

"What's wrong?" she asked quietly.

Liu Ergou whispered back, "Go on. Announce that everything I just said is valid."

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Mi Xiaoying was deeply reluctant. She desperately wanted to refuse him. But seeing his serious expression, she knew he wasn't joking. So she could only step forward reluctantly and announce that everything Liu Ergou had said was valid and that the promotion had no time limit.

With Mi Xiaoying's announcement, the crowd below buzzed with excitement. Watching the cheering crowd, Mi Xiaoying's expression was grim. She knew very well that if Liu Ergou continued down this path, Ting Tian Pavilion would collapse within a few months.

This is stone gambling! It's perfectly normal to cut open four stones in a row and find nothing but duds. But Liu Ergou wants to give refunds... The thought made Mi Xiaoying's legs feel weak. Ting Tian Pavilion is my life's work! If it goes bankrupt like this, it'll be the death of me! She decided she had to persuade Liu Ergou to change his mind later.

And so, the stone gambling convention concluded, with Mi Xiaoying looking on, her face clouded with worry.

Sun Gang left the venue laughing with his four stone gambling experts. Liu Ergou, on the other hand, took Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue back to the hotel.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Mi Xiaoying immediately spoke up. "Er Gou, can you please change your decision?"

"Do you have any idea what will happen if we keep this up? My Ting Tian Pavilion will be out of business in a matter of days!"

"By then, I'll be bankrupt! I'll be drowning in debt, Er Gou! I don't want to be in debt!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Liu Ergou couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her nose.

Then he said with a smile, "What are you thinking about, Xiao Ying? How could I possibly let you lose money?"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Mi Xiaoying stomped her foot.

"Still saying you won't let me lose money?"

"Your decision is practically a death sentence for my business! I've never heard of anyone giving refunds when they don't find jade!"

"I did some quick calculations. Even if customer traffic and our reputation grow, we'll lose everything and go bankrupt in a few days!"

Seeing how anxious she was, Liu Ergou reached out and pulled her into an embrace. Then he began to explain earnestly.

"Xiao Ying, don't be so anxious. Let me explain. Things aren't what you think they are."

"You need to understand a basic business principle: every merchant has a few tricks up their sleeve."

"I may have said that if no jade is found in four raw stones, I'll refund the price of three, but all I have to do is make sure one of those four stones contains jade, right?"

"As long as one reveals jade, we won't lose money. Are you silly?"

He Mingxue, who had been standing aside all this while, couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words. What he was saying was simply too absurd for her to listen to anymore.

"Er Gou, I may be an outsider in this, but even I know a little about raw stones," He Mingxue said helplessly.

"Finding jade isn't that simple. You can't just decide you want to find it and make it so!"

"If it were that easy, do you think the world would still have the stone gambling business?"

"If that were the case, the stone gambling industry would have disappeared without a trace long ago."
