Chapter 80 - Appraising Jade
Chapter 80: Appraising Jade
The middle-aged man’s words completely gave Mo Yan no way out. No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice.
Mo Yan had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she cursed Chen Ya a hundred and eighty times.
The moment the jade bracelet was handed to the middle-aged man, Mo Yan held her breath, and she focused all her attention on it.
The situation that Mo Yan had imagined did not happen. The man was very careful when he observed the bracelet. After observing the color and texture of the jade bracelet, the man’s eyes lit up.
He carefully placed the jade bracelet on a folded silk handkerchief. Then, he took out a flashlight and a long box from his briefcase.
He shone the flashlight a few times. Mo Yan did not know what the man had seen, but he looked at her with an unusual expression.
The long box contained a piece of jade, but it was a long jade pillar. The man used the jade pillar to strike the jade bracelet, making a crisp sound.
When she heard the sound, the jealousy in Chen Ya’s eyes could not be hidden. Although she did not have a deep understanding of these things, she still knew the basics.
When real jade was struck, it would make a crisp sound. If it was a fake, the sound would be more muffled.
After a series of operations by the man, he could basically confirm whether the jade bracelet was a fake.
A product meant high-quality jade.
In the jade industry, A product referred to when the finished product had only been properly processed. Its color and texture were all natural, which meant that it was a so-called genuine product.
Of course, there were also B and C products. The quality and shape of B and C products were not as good as A products, and the transparency and texture were not as good, meaning that the jade was mixed with impurities. Mo Yan’s bracelet was excellent in both the jade itself and the polishing process.
The middle-aged man carefully returned the jade to Mo Yan and said, “In my opinion, Mrs. Mo’s jade bracelet is of high quality. I wonder if it is a family heirloom?”
When he asked, the middle-aged man had already made up his mind about the business deal with Hong Jing.
The reason why he came to Hong Jing today was that his boss wanted to invest in this area after seeing that the real estate market had been doing well for the past two years. Many established companies did not want to work with them, so they could only look at Hong Jing, whose business was new but still had a lot of prospects.
Supervisor Zhou was designated by her uncle to work with this client. However, from the moment the man saw Chen Ya, he could tell that she was not a practical person. He wanted to go back and feedback to his boss, but something unexpected happened.
As for the man’s ability to distinguish between jade and stone, it was originally just his hobby. Occasionally, he met the boss of another company who was almost cheated by someone and helped him. After that, the other party brought a lot of benefits to the company.
This also allowed him to find out that his hobby had such a use, so he would carry some simple identification tools with him.
After all, he had come into contact with rich people, so this little hobby of his had helped him a lot.
Taking the jade bracelet, Mo Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “No, this is a wedding gift from my husband.”
“Oh, I see!”
After the jade bracelet was appraised, there was no more reason for Mo Yan to stay here. Chen Ya hurriedly chased Mo Yan away. She was hoping to embarrass Mo Yan, but after what happened, she didn’t want General Manager Wang to have a good impression of Mo Yan.
Walking out of Chen Ya’s office, Mo Yan touched her beating heart. It didn’t feel good to be on the lookout for a sneak attack in real time, but she had to wait. She had to wait for Chen Ya to make a big mistake and then knock her down with one shot.
Buzz buzz. Mo Yan’s phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Li Guoguo.
[Mo Yan, I heard that you were called to Supervisor Cheng’s office. Are you not out yet?]
Seeing this message, Mo Yan felt a warmth in her heart and replied, [I’m out. I’m on the way back to the office.]
[Oh! Okay. Mo Yan, why was Supervisor Chen looking for you?]
Thinking that she had nothing to hide, Mo Yan directly said to Li Guoguo, [She thinks that my bracelet is fake. She got someone to appraise it for me.]
Li Guoguo replied very quickly, [Huh? It obviously looks real. How can it be fake?]
[Of course it’s not fake. It’s just that Chen Ya is up to no good.] Mo Yan said.
[Haha! I knew Supervisor Chen didn’t succeed the moment I saw your reply.]
Mo Yan replied to Li Guoguo’s smiley face. Although she had not completely let down her guard against Li Guoguo, Mo Yan was still willing to entertain the cute girl who was trying to be friendly.
