Chapter 156 Breakthrough Part 2
As Grandpa Su"s final selection was carefully placed on the side, the stall"s gem cutter promptly got to work.
Since Grandpa Su had selected a total of 8 raw ore chunks, Lu Che astutely called over the other neighboring stalls" gem cutters as well to speed up the process.
Grandpa Su heaved a sigh and stretched out his old bones. A small smile surfaced on his stern old face.
There was nothing more exciting than watching these mysterious rocks being cut open.
Now that the gem cutters had gotten down to their business, more and more crowd gathered around them.
After all, unveiling the precious stone inside the ordinary piece of rock was much more exciting than an old man staring at a piece of rock for hours!
Mama Meng immediately blurted out with her loud voice, "Where is that woman?"
She didn"t care about these precious stones or high-grade jade or whatever, her main concern was still Su Lin.
The sight of that orphan beggar being this successful made her burn with jealously and anger.
Where did all of this success come from?? All from stealing their family property!
Mama Meng was livid with anger. She was heavily invested in making sure Su Lin got what was coming to her.
She definitely needed to be taught a very good lesson that she wouldn"t forget in this lifetime!
As soon as he heard Su Lin"s name Grandpa Su"s small smile instantly faded away.
Because of this cheap woman, he had to resort to making a spectacle out of his precious art form. How vulgar!
Grandpa Su"s cold eyes flashed a condescending sneer as he looked down on Su Lin"s casual nonchalant figure.
"Don"t waste my time. Are you done selecting your raw materials?" He glared at her and barked.
Su Lin who had just snacked from her cute tiffin box which Luther had packed for her, slowly rubbed the crumbs off her face.
She then leisurely muttered, as if a huge crowd was not watching her every move, "Sure. I will do it now."
Immediately everyone started murmuring in the crowd.
"I know her plan. She is trying to select something in the last minute and pa.s.s it off as dumb luck, blaming it on insufficient time or some sort of cheap tricks."
"This woman is totally done for. Why would she pick a fight with someone on such a high-cla.s.s event such as this?!"
"Nowadays every other dog is coming into money and starting a company. The entire country is fraught with these sorts of frauds."
While Mama Meng was happily basking in the glow of Su Lin"s reputation dropping down the drain, Su Lin still continued to act very calm and composed.
Under everyone"s watchful eyes, she casually strolled over and pointed at a few rocks on display in the stall next to Lu Che"s stall.
"Are these for sale?" Su Lin gentle voice crisply sounded amidst the chaotic crowd.
He didn"t care about these nonsensical feuds between high-cla.s.s people. As long as his goods get sold, it was a good day for him!
And this random woman had just pointed towards one-fifth of his today"s for sale quota.
And to top it all, it was even a win-win situation for him.
If the raw materials didn"t contain any precious jadeites than it was the woman"s fault for not picking up good ones.
But in case they contained precious stones, then it would be because of his shop"s high-quality materials!
So the stall keeper was extremely elated that Su Lin had randomly picked his stall for her suicidal stunt.
Watching her so indifferently picking a few rocks for their wager, Grandpa Su"s anger only further increased.
This cheap woman actually dared to make a fool out of him, his time, and his esteemed art form!
Only a fool would disrespect him so blatantly!!
She wasn"t even trying a little bit to win in this random wager, so why did she suggest this in the first place?
Grandpa Su"s wise old mind started wandering in different strategical directions.
Just as he was trying to comprehend her pedestrian actions, the first gem cutter gasped in shock.
An almost transparent vibrant emerald-green color jade stared at the dumbfounded crowd.
This was a huge chunk of Imperial Jade!!! The finest quality of jade available!!
Even just a small part of it was worth several million yuan.
Mama Meng even forgot about the wager for an instant and eyed the marvelous stone greedily.
Pieces of jewelry made out of this beautiful piece of stone would be top cla.s.s!
Grandpa Su didn"t show much of a response.
There was only an "I told you so" look on his face, that clearly implied that this was a logical result and nothing to be surprised about.
A few middle-aged men from the crowd even stepped forward and introduced themselves to Grandpa Su, while chatting and b.u.t.tering him about his legendary art of ore inspection.
This wager was already settled!
Imperial Jade was so rare that only one in dozens of rocks might contain tiny traces of it.
But now, Grandpa Su had gone ahead and sniffed out such a huge chunk of beautiful jade. Who can even dream to beat this result?!
While the crowd cheered in high spirits, only two people nervously fidgeted and wiped their profusely sweating forehead.
One was s.h.i.+ Meng, who was genuinely worried about his life.
And other was Ah Min, who nervously asked Su Lin, "Are you sure this is okay, boss?"
Their company was still a fledgling and at this stage, reputation mattered a lot! It definitely looked like this event was going to bring in a lot of bad reputation for them.
Ah Min already started thinking about possible ways they could improve their public image. Su Lin"s indifferent figure didn"t give her hope in the slightest.
Even Mama Meng recovered from her stupor and sneered at Su Lin. What now b.i.t.c.h?
Su Lin, however, still calmly nodded and patiently waited for the theatrics to get over.
