0010 Jade

Inside the store, the Little rat was chasing after Song Yu's plan. However, Song Yu's plan was too fast, and in the end, the Little rat seemed to be slightly exhausted, collapsing on the counter.

Observing this cute little thing, Song Yu used her fingers to scratch its exposed belly.

Hearing this, Xue Yang laughed, realizing he had to go to the Jade Market to take a look.

"Boss Wang, are you telling me that these are jade seals?" Xue Yang's expression worsened as he reached his hand into his pocket.

However, only Xue Yang knew that if he didn't use his hands to grab the Little rat, it would jump back into the box.

Hearing his words, Wang Lei's face tensed up. He quickly took out one of them and laughed, "Isn't this a jade seal? Look at its luster; it's so beautiful!"

A piece of jewelry reflecting red light under the sun indeed gave off a feeling of transparency.

"But I can't tell if this is synthetic or not. I don't know anything about this piece of jade. If you bring over a box of white jade and green jade, I can still take a look."

Xue Yang took another glance at the gems in the chest. Indeed, half of them were jade seals, but the other half were not.

At this time, Wang Lei puffed out his chest and said, "I can guarantee with my personality; this is definitely a jade seal."

This person was truly shameless. He had done so many dirty things, and he could even use his own character to guarantee it.

But Xue Yang did not poke it open; he only picked up one piece and observed it in the sun for a while before finally nodding.

"Since Boss Wang is so sincere, I will make a decision on behalf of the Lady Boss. I will accept this box of jade seals."

And after Song Yu had done so much business with jewelry, she naturally had her unique eyes. When she saw that there seemed to be some luster inside the chest that didn't seem fake, Xue Yang had actually already made a decision.

Song Yu did not speak. She had long developed an extraordinary sense of trust in this man.

After buying these so-called "high-class jade seals" for twenty thousand yuan, Wang Lei slipped away from the place with the money in his pocket, afraid that Xue Yang would go back on his words.

When Wang Lei ran into his own shop, he directly spat towards Song Yu's shop. "Pah, what young Carver, you don't even know if it's true or false. There will be a day when you're done for."

Inside the small store, Song Yu quietly reminded Yue Yang: "You should be able to tell how many jade seals inside the chest are fake, right?"

At this time, Xue Yang had just found an exquisite box and directly placed one of the red jewels inside. He completely ignored the other eleven and only had feelings for this one.

Xue Yang guessed the Lady Boss's worries and laughed, "Do you think I was wrong? I didn't realize that five of the jade seals are spinel, and the quality of these spinels isn't anything good; they're completely useless.

"Ah, you know all about it; then why did you buy it?"

Looking at the Lady Boss's shocked expression, Xue Yang continued to speak: "The spinel and the jade seal indeed look very similar. If you don't look carefully, it would be easy to fall for them. But for an expert like us, how would we fall for such a trap?

Song Yu suddenly thought of something and said: "You're talking about ruby, right?"

"My answer is correct. In Wang Lei's eyes, this box has seven jade seals and five spinels, but in this world, this box only has six jade seals and five spinels. The remaining one is this cute ruby."

Holding the ruby in his hand, Xue Yang purposely turned it in front of Song Yu.

However, the young Lady Boss didn't have a smile on her face. She continued to say, "But how could it be that easy? Right now, the rubies in the citizens' world are all fake, and the man-made rubies are exactly the same as real rubies. If the rubies don't come from nature, then there's not much meaning to it."

"You're right." Xue Yang praised the Lady Boss, but then he said complacently, "But my eyesight is extremely good by nature; if it was an artificial ruby, it would definitely not be completely transparent, and there would definitely be marks left inside the gems. Of course, other people would not be able to see those marks; they would need to make it larger."

Seeing his proud look, Song Yu stuck out her tongue at him. "You don't even know how to blush when you're bragging."

Twenty thousand yuan for a piece of two million was something to be happy about.

In the afternoon, Xue Yang directly displayed a new billboard, "Southeast Asia's Natural Ruby, only sold for two million."

Just as he pulled out the billboard, Wang Lei, who was at the other side of the store, opened his eyes wide. Wang Lei looked at it again and again and asked puzzledly: "Didn't they sell all their things already?

At this time, the assistant next to him asked in surprise: "Boss, did you not send that ruby over to them? Seeing you carry the box over, I thought it was from you."

Wang Lei stroked his beard and said puzzledly: "I only gave you a

 box of good and bad jade seals, and that was something I spent 2000 on from a slovenly old man, and that old man even said that it was his family treasure."

The shop assistant widened his eyes, "Boss, buying the family heirloom is only two thousand yuan; aren't you a little too stingy?"

Hearing his words, Wang Lei immediately kicked the shop assistant: "Just a few jade seals, and nearly half of them are fake. If you want me to give him a high price, then you must have some real items!"

Speaking to here, Wang Lei was shocked, and after a long while, he muttered to himself: "Could it be that there really is something inside?"

The shop assistant who was kicked reminded with a frown, "Boss, it couldn't be that ruby."

At this moment, another kick landed on the shop assistant, "F * ck, can you shut up? Am I such a stupid person, boss?"

But just as he said that, Wang Lei immediately ran towards Song Yu's shop.

"Aiyo, Boss Wang, why, why are you here to send us more things?" Xue Yang, who had just hung up his billboard, immediately blocked him outside and greeted him passionately.

However, Wang Lei had long since stopped smiling like the last time and directly crashed into the wall in anger.

When he saw that there were an additional eleven gems on the counter, they were already marked with Song Yu's beautiful little kai, with jade seals and sharp crystals.

Boss Wang counted the gems again and again and then shouted, "There's only 11 of them; how about the 12th one is eaten by you guys?"

Towards Wang Lei, who had always been looking for trouble, Song Yu didn't pay attention to him at all and only continued to busy herself.

Xue Yang walked in from outside: "Boss Wang's eyes might not be good, but I don't see the title that's hung outside our shop; the three words ruby are clearly written on it. I wonder if Boss Wang knows anything about ruby?"

"Of course! Dammit, I'm selling jewelry; how could I not know about rubies?"

"Since Boss Wang knows what a ruby is, why are you still here?"

Hearing Xue Yang's words, Song Yu accidentally let out a laugh, but she quickly recovered his posture of keeping accounts.

The meaning behind Xue Yang's words was obvious: since you know the ruby, then you definitely know the ruby in the chest, so this thing was sold to them voluntarily by Wang Lei.

If Wang Lei still did not know that there was a ruby inside the box, he would have slapped his own face.

But who knew that Wang Lei would be so bold; he immediately roared out loud: "I didn't know there was a ruby in the chest; hurry up and give me the gem; I will return the money to you guys."

Song Yu, who was keeping accounts at the side, could only shake his head. Even though he was the boss, she did not plan to participate in this unreasonable dispute.

After all, Xue Yang had told her before, that she only wanted to be a beautiful boss lady quietly, and dealing with this kind of rogue was entirely Xue Yang's business.

At this time, twenty thousand dollars had already been thrown onto the counter by Wang Lei. After looking at it, he laughed and said: "Boss Wang has run a shop for so many years; you should know the rules here, right?"

Wang Lei stood straight with his legs crossed and arms crossed in front of his chest, then said with a proud expression: "Bullsh*t rules; who would write that thing into law? If not for the government's approval, it would all be fart, don't you know that? Cut the crap; hurry up and return my things to me."

Seeing that this man was already prepared to act shamelessly, as if he would pester him for the rest of his life if he did not give him the ruby, Xue Yang laughed; as a man, stepping on his own face was truly difficult for him.

"Alright, since Boss Wang is so persistent, then I won't say anything. We can return the gem box to you."

Hearing Xue Yang's words, the owner's eyes immediately lit up; he had a funny feeling that he wanted to laugh crazily yet was trying to hold it in.

Even Song Yu put down the brush in his hand for the time being and looked at Xue Yang with a puzzled expression.

Xue Yang purposely paused for a moment before continuing: "But Boss Wang, since you do not plan to follow the rules, then you must follow our rules. If you go back on your words, then you must pay the penalty fee."

Speaking till here, the three of them simultaneously thought of how Wang Lei had deliberately murdered Song Yu, in order to make the little store go bankrupt.

The store sunk into silence for a while, but then Boss Wang gritted his teeth and said generously: "Isn't it just a penalty fee? You want to extort ten times the penalty from me? Alright, I'll take it for you right now!"

Just as Wang Lei was about to go out to take the money, Xue Yang continued: "Boss Wang, you may not know the rules of our shop, but in your shop, the penalty for breaking the contract is ten times more, but in our shop, the penalty is a hundred times more!"

Two million!
