Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 126

The situation took a hundred eighty degrees turn with the craftsman’s words, and there was also a deep, hidden meaning when he said there was jadeite. Usually, people would say that there was green whenever jade was discovered at the cutting of the stone. However, the craftsman said that there was jadeite instead. Just one word difference could change the meaning entirely. In hurried but careful moves, the craftsman ground the stone, and the red spot gradually became more obvious. Seeing that, everyone exclaimed in shock, “Blood jade! It’s a blood jade!” 

 

With just that, the entire place broke into an uproar, and even Elise stared at the stone in disbelief. “H-How is this possible? It’s actually blood jade, which is no less expensive than imperial jade!” “You’re so lucky to have gotten the blood jade, Mr. Griffith. This blood jade is incredibly rare, and if you have it made into jewelry, it will be priceless.” “Congratulations, Mr. Griffith! I wonder if you’re willing to sell your stone to me.”

“I’m interested as well, Mr. Griffith. Why don’t you sell it to me?” …… The change of attitude from the crowd was so swift that Elise didn’t even have the time to react to the situation. Then, Jordan came over with a wide smile on his face. “Congratulations on the blood jade, Mr. Griffith!” Returning his smile, Alexander answered, “You’re too kind, Mr. Jordan.” Jordan added, “Honestly speaking, I got this stone back six months ago, and it was just laying there as a stockpile.

Many people had also asked me about the price before this, but they all backed off when they heard the price. Unexpectedly, you had the courage to buy it straight away, and it turned out that there’s actually blood jade in the stone. You wouldn’t be able to make a loss even if you wanted to!” Everything ordan said was true; according to the market price of blood jade right now and the total surface of blood jade Alexander had in his stone, he was guaranteed to earn 50 million.

If there was more jade after further grinding and cutting, then it would be a different price. While they were speaking, the craftsman cried out in surprise again, “The entire stone is made up of blood jade!” Another round of commotion broke out from the crowd; it was already really rare to have found the blood jade, but it turned out to be an entire piece. It was now beyond their estimation just how much this stone was worth.

“Mr. Griffith, I have to say that you’re really lucky to have such a huge piece of blood jade,” Jordan said earnestly, excitement rushing through him the entire time. Meanwhile, after the people saw that the stone had blood jade, they all wanted to buy some stones as well. All of a sudden, they started to pick and buy stones, and the shop started to get busy. “Mr. Griffith, you have my admiration even more now,” Elise admitted in a serious tone.

Maintaining his composure, Alexander answered, “Miss Sare, do you know which kind of stone you should buy now?” Elise pursed her lips. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that he was really talented when it came to stone gambling. “Mr. Griffith, I believe that I was right about you. I’ll definitely pick up something by learning about stone gambling from you.” The edges of his lips curled upward into a gentle smile.

“You’re too modest, Miss Sare. I gained a lot by learning Arisian from you, too.” There was no awkwardness when they traded compliments. In contrast, it was harmonious. “So, do you plan to sell this blood jade, Mr. Griffith?” “I would like to use it as a publicity stunt for the anniversary of Griffith Group next month. I think it will be a good selling point,” Alexander answered. Understanding what he meant, Elise said, “You’re a very smart businessman, Mr. Griffith.”
