Even though he studied hard for his jewelry business and gained a lot of knowledge and experience from his mentors, there were still many times when he lost money.
Previously at an underground trade fair, for example, he bought a highly sought-after raw stone for over two hundred thousand. Yet, he discovered that the stone's actual value was a mere few thousand.
That incident became the talk of the industry for a while. After all, you needed Lady Luck on your side to succeed in the business.
Even under the guidance of highly-experienced mentors who had decades of experience, he was not safe from unfortunate circumstances like this. Jiang Yao, however, must have had luck and a hidden ability to determine the valuable stones, despite her random pickings.
"I have an extra request, Mr. Huang. If anyone wants to know how the purchase turned out for you, just tell them that you bought it for decoration and had rather not open it." Jiang Yao chuckled. "We have got to keep a low profile."
She did not want people to know that Zhu Qianlan's trade fair contained any good stones this time round. She wanted people to think that Zhu Qianlan was trying to con her customers by putting low-value raw stones in her trade fair.
"Understood." Huang Chengjing recognized the reason behind Jiang Yao's reminder. He did not think about her wanting to take revenge on Zhu Qianlan. Instead, troubles might arise for Jiang Yao if news of her picking all the valuable raw stones without error was known.
Money was the root of all evil.
