Chapter 17 – So-called Expert

“Director Xiao, you’re going all in?”

A mocking laugh rang out. Xiao Yumei frowned, then gave the person a cold stare.

The reason her jewelry chain’s state was like that was mostly due to the man in front of her.

“Hey, in my point of view, what’s the point of a woman being so strong? Might as well follow me, wouldn’t it be better if the two of us became one?”

“Dream on!”

“Heh, how long do you think you could possibly last against me?” The man with a dark expression sneered and snapped his fingers. “Thirty five million!”

It seemed like he was determined to oppose her.

Xiao Yumei looked at the very promising looking ore in front of her and clenched her teeth.

“Four…”

“Director Xiao!”

Before she was able to call out the price, Ye Zichen hurried over.

“Mr. Ye?”

Xiao Yumei first revealed a hint of surprise in her eyes, then she very quickly smiled. He had saved her daughter, but didn’t ask for anything in return. She wanted to use her contacts to search for him, yet she actually bumped into him here.

“Does Director Xiao want to buy that ore?”

“Yeah, you also know that I own a jewelry business. The chance of this ore giving out jade is extremely large and it should be a huge amount. I won’t hide it from you, my jewelry chain is currently in danger, and this ore is needed to stand back up.”

Xiao Yumei told him everything about her current situation. Originally, she shouldn’t speak about this sort of thing to an outsider, but she didn’t know why…

When she was facing Ye Zichen, she felt like he had some sort of magic about him, causing her to be unwilling to hide anything from him.

Ye Zichen nodded after hearing it and whispered in her ear.

“Director Xiao, if you buy this ore, then I feel like you might never be able to stand up again!”

Xiao Yumei’s expression tensed up. What did Ye Zichen mean by this?

Was he trying to tell her that this ore would not give out jade?

“Mr. Ye also knows about stone gambling?” Xiao Yumei asked in a testing manner. Ye Zichen chucked lightly, “Director Xiao, don’t call me mister, it feels weird. You can call me Ye-zi or Zichen. As for stone gambling, I do understand a bit.”

“If it’s just a bit, then don’t bullshit. This ore has a clear patterns and it shows a faint greenness from within, meaning that there is moss inside. These are the signs of a lot of jade. What are you trying to accomplish by running over and saying that this rock would not give out jade?”

Xiao Yumei’s consultant, Elder Liu, suddenly got pissed. Ye Zichen frowned, then glanced over at the old man.

“Who’s the old man?”

“Zichen, this is our company’s stone purchasing consultant, he is an expert at selecting stones.”

“Expert!?”

Nowadays, regardless of what industry was, a bunch of experts and masters would always pop up. They didn’t have any true capabilities and merely said stuff.

Ye Zichen twitched his mouth in contempt, then said to Elder Liu.

“Elder Liu, you said that this ore would definitely give out jade, right?”

“Of course!” Elder Liu said with certainty.

“Then what if it doesn’t?” Ye zichen suddenly asked.

Elder Liu raised his eyebrows, “It’s impossible for this rock not to give out jade.”

“Don’t care about if it will or not. I’m just asking you what happens if it doesn’t!”

Ye Zichen stared at Elder Liu closely. Elder Liu smiled after a glance at that ore.

“Buying ores has always been something where the risks are proportional to the rewards. Nobody can promise that all of the stones will give out jade. If it doesn’t, then all that can be said is that the appearance of this stone tricked everyone.”

“In the end, you’re just saying things without shouldering any of the risks, right?” Ye Zichen sneered. He pointed at that huge ore and said. “This is an ore worth several tens of millions, just by saying that it will give out jade, you made Director Xiao do everything she could to compete for it. If it gives out jade, you gain a large amount of commission. If it doesn’t, then you took no risks. Why do you get all the good stuff and none of the bad?”

Seeing that Ye Zichen and Elder Liu were arguing, Xiao Yumei quickly comforted them.

“Zichen, these are the rules of buying ores. I do need this ore…”
