Chapter 168 The Curse of an Aboriginal Girl (1/2)

The disturbance ended with Zhou Hailiang's leaving, and with its advertising effect, everyone began to know the jades Qin Haodong sold were made by a great master, and the customers in the shop all swarmed to Daqin Jewelry.

Watching this, Lin Pingchao bit his teeth with anger, but he soon felt better when he saw none of the customers buy the jades Qin Haodong sold due to the high price.

”Could you please show me this jade ruyi, beautiful miss?”

A middle-aged man said to Nalan Wushuang in Cantonese. The man was about 40, wearing an expensive suit, with a Rolex worthing a million on his wrist. Everyone could tell he was a rich man at a glance.

However, his trachea seemed in a poor condition as he was short of breath and coughing when talking.

The man held the jade ruyi in his hand and observed it from every angle. He then said with admiration, ”It's indeed a masterwork, and the material is good as well, but I still don't think it worth 30 million. If you can cut the price to 10 million, I'll take it.”

Seeing the hope of making a deal, Nalan Wushuang and Lin Momo all looked at Qin Haodong with querying eyes. As they saw it, it was a good deal.

To their disappointment, Qin Haodong went to the man and said, ”I'm sorry, sir, but it's no less than 30 million.”

The middle-aged man shook his head after hearing the answer. ”That's too much. It looks good, but it doesn't worth that much.”

Qin Haodong changed the topic with asking the man, ”Sir, you're not from south of the Yangtze River, are you?”

The middle-aged man answered, ”No, I'm from Hong Kong, and I'm here for business.”

”Oh, I see.” Qin Haodong then continued to ask, ”Are you suffering from a trachea disease, sir?”

”Yes, I don't feel well with my trachea. I've seen many doctors and none of them could save me from frequent coughing. It's even getting worse now, and I felt like I got asthma.”

The man seemed not interested in chatting with Qin Haodong about his own affairs. ”For good luck, I want to take this jade ruyi, so, I'd like to pay 15 million for it at most or I'll leave without taking anything.”

Jealousy was eating Lin Pingchao up when he saw someone offer such a high price to buy Qin Haodong's jades, and at the moment, all his sales revenue was not up to one million, not a tenth of Qin Haodong's. He desperately wanted to attract the middle-aged man to his side.

Lin Momo signaled Qin Haodong a few times. As she thought, 15 million was a big number and would earn them the upper hand.

”Sir, as I said, no less than 30 million.”

Qin Haodong refused the middle-aged man again.

Lin Pingchao looked happy to hear the answer while Lin Momo was disappointed. ”Good luck, he didn't sell it, or things would be hard for me,” he thought to himself.

The middle-aged man shook his head in upset and was about to leave when he heard Qin Haodong say, ”Sir, to be honest, this jade ruyi doesn't suit you. I think this jade pendant may be a good choice for you.”

As he said that, he took out a yellow jade pendant, which was made of the remaining material of the Jade Chicken.

However, the middle-aged man still shook his head, ”Sorry, I want that jade ruyi just for good luck. I don't like this pendant.”

”Sir, no need to make your decision so fast,” Qin Haodong said, ”Try it, please, and you'll know nothing can be better for you than it.”

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Haodong, confused, but finally, he still took the pendant and wore it around his neck.

”This pendant is good, but I don't need such...” While he was talking, the man's expression changed suddenly. With a cool feeling rising from his chest, he no longer gasped and coughed when he talked, and he felt cool and relaxed all over his lungs and trachea.

”What happened? Is it because of this pendant?”

The middle-aged man was full of disbelief. To prove his guess, he took the pendant off his neck. Just as he did that, he felt short of breath again. He put the pendant back and immediately felt relaxed and comfortable.

At the point, he was finally sure that this pendant had a magic effect on his disease.

The middle-aged man said to Qin Haodong with thrill, ”What happened to me, little brother? Is this pendant a magic instrument?”

The theory of Fengshui was widely accepted in Hong Kong, therefore, it was not surprising the man knew about magic instruments. ”Yes, and there is a health-strengthening spell on it. Wearing it for years, you'll recover from the lung disease, and it good for your body and will protect you from all kinds of sickness.”

”Great, little brother, never thought you would possess such amazing things. It's not expensive at all compared to its value. It's cheap in fact.” The middle-aged man then pointed at the jade ruyi and asked, ”Is this a magic instrument as well?”

Qin Haodong nodded and answered, ”Yes, but on it is Mind-clearing Spell, good for those who are manic-depressed or affected with external diseases. That's why I said it did not suit you.”

”I'll take this pendant. Is anything sold here helpful for gathering fortune, little brother?” The middle-aged man asked excitedly.

Although Hong Kong was full of believers and masters of Fengshui, it was rather hard to get a magic instrument even with thousands of golds. Thus, it never occured to the middle-aged man that he would find so many magic instruments at a time, and if he had enough cash, he would buy all of them.

That said, he finally decided to buy a health-strenthening pendant and a fortune-gathering ruyi as making more money was everyone's goal.
