Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As expected, the stall owner started acting in the next second! “I’m afraid that won’t do!” The stall owner looked conflicted and he pointed at Jian Xing’er as he said to the old man, “She took a fancy to this jade pendant first. I have to keep my word. I have to ask for her opinion first.” When the old man heard this, he immediately said to Jian Xing’er, “Give this jade pendant to me.” The stall owner also said, “Look, this jade pendant is indeed good. This old man was willing to pay 450,000 yuan just now. However, in business, it’s first come, first served. Since you took a fancy to it first, 1 naturally have to ask for your opinion first. How about this? 1 don’t want you to pay 450,000 yuan. If you pay 300,000 yuan, this jade pendant will be yours. I’ll earn less, but in the future, you can introduce a few more friends to me. I’ll treat this opportunity as making a friend.”
Jian Xing’er said, “I’ll pay 15!” When the stall owner heard this, he was stunned for a moment. “Are you joking with me?” He looked very displeased. “You can choose not to buy it if you don’t want to, but you can’t insult my treasure. If you don’t want it, I’ll sell it to that old man. When the jade pendant increases in value, don’t say that 1 didn’t inform you in advance.” As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner looked at Jian Xing’er and waited for her answer. “I don’t have the time to joke with you.” Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows slightly as she said, “I’m serious. This jade pendant of yours is worth at most 15.” When the stall owner heard this, he was furious. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, there’s no need for me to say anything else!” He turned to the old man and said, “Use your card. You’re in luck today!” Seeing this, the old man hurriedly handed over his card. “Wait! I’ll pay 500,000 yuan! Sell it to me!” A middle-aged woman ran out of the crowd and placed a bag of money on the stall owner’s stall. Then, she snatched the jade pendant from the old man’s hand.
Jian Xing’er didn’t fall for it, but the woman believed it. The woman spent 500,000 yuan to buy a counterfeit that was ten yuan. The stall owner was pleasantly surprised, but he still pretended to be in a difficult position. He even said that the old man had taken a fancy to it first, but the woman didn’t listen and only said that whoever paid first should have the jade pendant. The old man didn’t have the time to swipe his card, so she paid first. Then, the woman left with the jade pendant without looking back, for fear that the stall owner would refuse to sell it to her. The surrounding people also dispersed. The old man pretended to be heartbroken and left angrily. “You’ve really suffered a huge loss today. That jade pendant was very popular! That woman just needs to wait for the value to rise!” The stall owner smiled at Jian Xing’er and said, “But it’s fine. 1 still have many good things. You can take a look. 1 can give you a discount if you like anything! I’m in a good mood today!”
“You’re so funny.” Jian Xing’er’s lips curled into a smile. “What do you mean? I don’t understand.” The stall owner looked puzzled. “There’s no one here, so stop pretending.” Jian Xing’er stared at the stall owner as she said, “That old man and that woman just now were both actors you hired. In order to trick me, you put on a show. Speaking of which, if it was an ordinary person, he or she might really have been deceived today.” When the stall owner heard this, he was stunned! However, he quickly came back to his senses and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and said to Jian Xing’er, “Are you an expert? This industry is like this. You know the unspoken rules. Since you’re an expert, I won’t lie to you. Don’t spread word of it. I’m just trying to support my family. Let’s forget about this matter today. Let’s be friends. In the future, you can buy anything you want for me. I’ll give you more money.”
Upon hearing this, the stall owner completely panicked. He thought that Jian Xing’er was determined to teach him a lesson today. If his things were taken away by Jian Xing’er and handed over to the police, he would be sentenced to at least five years.. If Jian Xing’er had evidence, he was screwed!
