Chi Gui paused in her step, turned her gaze, and clearly saw that it was the elder from the exhibition booth who had grabbed her, "Hmm? Do you have a question?"
Her voice was very calm, and what she said was also very polite.
The elder glanced at Chi Gui and then looked somewhat painfully at the raw stone in her hand, "Are you sure you want this one? It’s too small. Why don’t you pick a bigger one..."
Chi Gui smiled, "No, this is the one I want."
There were rules for the exhibition, and the elder couldn’t say anything more, only helplessly loosening his grip.
As Chi Gui followed the attendant away, someone chuckled, "That Huaxia girl is really foolish. Even the boss felt guilty and wanted to charge her less, but she insisted on handing over her money!"
The others laughed in agreement.
Nobody left; they all stayed in front of the booth, wanting to see Chi Gui’s expression of shock and regret after she opened the stone.
This was also part of the fun of watching gemstone gambling.
Soon after, Chi Gui had paid and returned with the raw stone.
She picked up the specialized hammer for breaking raw stones from the booth and tapped the stone gently—
Despite appearing to exert little strength, the stone was as fragile as glass, splitting directly in half.
Everyone gathered around, and the person who had just spoken with a laugh began, "That quality, I’m afraid inside it’s filled with impurities and waste..."
Before he could finish saying "stone," his voice abruptly stopped, his mouth agape, eyes wide with disbelief staring at the small stone on the table!
His expression was as if he’d seen a ghost!
And it wasn’t just him.
Everyone around the booth had their eyes wide open, speechless.
Chi Gui, arm in arm with Mrs. Fu, was about to leave when she was stopped again by the elder.
"Why did you choose that stone?" the elder asked with burning eyes, staring at Chi Gui’s face, "How could you tell?"
Chi Gui smiled, "I didn’t see anything. I simply needed a smaller piece of jade, and this was the smallest."
Hearing her say this, the people around her felt a sour sense of envy for her good luck.
The elder, however, didn’t believe her.
He was sure that Chi Gui had definitely measured and compared it at the beginning.
But since she wasn’t willing to tell, there was nothing he could do but settle for second best, "You’ve picked out the most valuable one here. Leave your contact information? I’ll contact you if I have something good in the future."
It was a raw stone that hadn’t been opened yet, but the elder knew it was the best one of all the raw stones.
The identity was not simple.
