Chapter 306: 138: A direct slap in the face, Viola is out of reach _3

Translator: 549690339

Viola Thompson was simply amazing!

She knew everything.

The boss had no idea that Viola was actually an expert.

He would never have guessed that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl would know jade.

This…

Was she blessed by the Ancestor Master?

Upon hearing this,             the middle-aged man standing by    wanted to burst into applause.

He was just worried to death a moment ago.

Worried that these young girls would be conned.

But now it seemed like his worry was completely unwarranted although this young girl wasn’t old, her speech and insight were certainly not something that an average person could match.

So impressive.

Despite being called out by Viola, the boss still maintained his composure, laughing and saying: “Missy, you must have made a mistake. This is genuine jade.”

After finishing his sentence, the boss turned his gaze to Fiona Knight, “Miss, would you like me to wrap this up for you?

Anyway, rich people didn’t care about this price of eighty-eight thousand.

Perhaps, to them, eighty-eight thousand meant nothing more than eight dollars and eighty cents.

Fiona was quite speechless. “Boss, do you think I’m a fool? You are trying to sell me something that should only cost eighty-eight dollars for eighty-eight thousand dollars. How could you possibly justify this?”

She might be rich, but she was not stupid.

The boss immediately responded: “Miss, your friend doesn’t know anything about jade. She is just making things up. This price is really not expensive!”

Fiona no longer wanted to waste words, pulling on Viola’s and Diana Hershey’s hands she said: “Viola, Diana, let’s go over there.”

“Miss!

Fiona didn’t even look back.

The boss was furious.

All because of Viola’s meddling when she wasn’t even the one buying the product! It had cost him a sale of eighty-eight thousand!

“Missy how about you add a bit more? Let’s say sixty-six thousand then?”

“Fifty-five thousand!”

…Eleven thousand!”

Seeing Fiona getting farther and farther away, the boss panicked, “Come back, come back! I’ll sell it to you for eighty-eight dollars.”

The original cost of these bracelets was thirty dollars for two. Selling them for eighty-eight dollars wasn’t a loss.

Fiona couldn’t be bothered to pay the boss any more attention, and said, “Viola, thank goodness you were there earlier. Otherwise, I would have fallen for his trick today.

That was eighty-eight thousand we’re talking about!

With that money, a typical family could have lived for half a year. The mere thought of it made Fiona flinch in pain.

Diana Hershey looked at Viola Thompson, “Beautiful Thompson, how were you able to tell it was a fake?”

Viola’s claims about glue filling and spider web patterns, Diana didn’t understand any of it.

Viola smirked, “Actually, it’s quite simple. You can just read up on some books about jade identification when you have the time.”

“That simple?” Diana asked.

Viola nodded slightly, “It’s not supposed to be that difficult.”

Diana immediately took out her phone, opened Ebay, and asked, “Beautiful Thompson, could you recommend a book for me?

She also wanted to learn how to identify jade. In future, she would be able to avoid being deceived.

Viola took Diana’s phone, and picked out a book, “This one will do.”

Diana clicked to add it to her shopping cart.

Diana had initially thought jade identification would be as simple as Viola said. But when she received the book, she began to truly understand the disparity in this world.

The book which seemed effortlessly simple to Viola became a complex uttering to Diana.

But of course, that’s a story for later.

The trio stopped in front of a jade shop.

The shop was about 100 square meters in size.

It was extravagantly decorated.

At the moment, there was only one customer choosing jade inside the shop.

The boss was patiently introducing the jade to him.

The man had his back to the door.

He stood upright, as straight as a bamboo shoot.

From the girls’ angle, they could only see him wearing a grey long coat and handmade crocodile leather shoes, and a white woolen scarf around his neck. He exuded the charm of a boss from the olden days of the Republic of China.

Diana Hershey whispered, “Look, a handsome man!”

Fiona Knight squinted, “He is handsome.”

Unlike the boys they met on campus.

This was a kind of mature charm.

Possibly due to the man’s present, the three girls stepped in unattended.

“Viola, what do you think of this one?” Diana had taken a fancy to a bracelet. Viola took a glance, “It’s okay to wear, but it has no collection value.”

Diana nodded, “Then I’ll look at some others.”

The boss, who was introducing the jade pieces to the man, overheard the girls’ conversation and looked up at Viola.

‘No collection value.’

This sentence revealed that she was not a real jade connoisseur.

three girls were quite attractive the   looks, but their interest might not lie in

the jade.

Possible indeed.

The man beside him was of the highest status.

It wasn’t surprising if such a thing occurred.

However, these three girls were quite bold. After all, ever since this mysterious man entered, there were girls outside the shop wanting to come in and strike up a chat. But, the man’s aura was so strong that none of them dared to step in..
