Chapter 332: Chapter 236 The Pamphlet_2

In other words, the notebook would be useless to anyone else.

Sui Yi found a kiosk selling beverages, bought two drinks, and was about to pay when she suddenly sensed a strong shadow pressing down from behind. Her instinctive sensitivity allowed her to acutely feel the intimidating aura of the person, but she wasn’t afraid; instead, she calmly turned around to face him, only seeing his chest. Being this close, she could feel his upright body’s burning warmth and a faint bittersweet scent...

If it were any other girl, she might have blushed and felt flustered.

Sui Yi merely raised an eyebrow and sidestepped, looking up at Xiao Xianting.

Have we met several times before?

Along with one transaction, we indeed have some acquaintance.

An assistant following Xiao Xianting brightened up at the sight of Sui Yi, quickly raised his hand, about to greet her, but saw that Sui Yi had already nodded at them first. Then with a slight smile, she paid the vendor and walked away with the young man next to her.

Efficient, with nothing seemingly out of place.

No, perhaps too distant.

Different from how other women react when they see the boss...

"Hehe, this Miss Sui really is extraordinary. My younger sister is older than her, still living at home and fawning over South Korean celebrities as soon as she sees them..." the assistant, knowing about yesterday’s events and having seen her true face in the surveillance, commented with deep emotion.

Xiao Xianting took the drink he bought, turned his head and saw Sui Yi walking into a shaded area with the young man. The slanting green light sprinkled on both of their similarly young, carefree faces, a serene moment.

Uncapping the bottle, Xiao Xianting stared at the shadows of the two under the tree shade, took a sip, and said with a cold voice: "Gather all the Gambling Stones masters under me, review them in batches, cross-evaluate those who perform well, and then give me an assessment report. By tomorrow afternoon at four, finalize the specific bidding targets... also, have someone investigate a person... get back to me ASAP."

"Yes,"

The bidding day was just three days away, starting with the sealed bids, every day ending at five-thirty PM; on the third day, they would close the raw materials hall and begin tallying and announcing the results of the sealed bids, followed by the open bidding auction~~the pace was extremely intense, putting a tremendous pressure on many jewelers.

Moreover, with so many raw materials, over four thousand pieces, reviewing them all was a technical challenge.

Moreover, this time’s competition seemed extraordinary.

Sui Yi felt a cold yet intense gaze continuously watching her, and she could vaguely sense who it might be, yet didn’t know that she had already been marked as a competitor. If she knew, she would undoubtedly be even more cautious of this Xiao Lang.

About two hours went by, and it was mealtime. Sui Yi closed the notebook, squinted at the two pages of data, among almost four thousand pieces of raw material, excluding the ones that fell through the cracks, there were quite a few that turned out green, though most were of mediocre quality. Sui Yi was interested in about fifty-three pieces and recorded them, but each performed differently, their exact values vastly varying. Pricing would need to be figured out based on the auction’s starting price and potential appreciation...

This task was somewhat complicated.

"Let’s go, time for lunch. We’ve got a busy afternoon ahead."

At noon, a group including Elder Tang and a few others had arranged to meet at a restaurant inside Red Mountain Park. They thought it would be extremely crowded due to many people being on the mountain, but to their surprise, it was relatively empty, apart from the bustling restaurant staff and a few scattered diners.

"Welcome, welcome, you folks are quite early," the lobby manager, recognizing the bearing of Elder Tang and others as not mere tourists but rather tycoons or businesspeople, was extremely enthusiastic and explained, "At this time, most participants from the public trading platform are still stickning with empty stomachs at the raw material venue, not willing to spare time for a meal. Ordinary visitors also find our prices too high and prefer to eat outside... But speaking of Red Mountain’s local delicacies, only our place has them..."

With a slick talker and fast service, Elder Tang and the others, already starving, wasted no time in starting their meal... After ultimately satisfying their hunger, they had some time to discuss the morning’s work.

Upon hearing that Sui Yi had looked over a thousand pieces of raw material, everyone visibly trembled! Thankfully, Ah A quickly clarified that Sui Yi had mostly just glanced at them, some she didn’t even touch...

Of course she didn’t touch them. Why bother when a quick flash of Magnetic Sensation told her there was no magnetic energy at all?

"Cut it out, I did watch them very carefully..." Gong Jiu smirked.

"Yeah, like an octopus, almost wanting to shoot her way into the stone to get a better look, got the guards almost going for their guns..." Flower Demon commented unsparingly.

Everyone immediately laughed.

--------

After the meal, the group took a casual stroll and looked at more raw materials. This time, Sui Yi was a bit more relaxed considering she had already locked down over fifty potential jade pieces...

Mostly contemplating the pricing...

"Hey, isn’t that Miss Sui?" Suddenly, a few traders popped up in front of Sui Yi, a plump middle-aged man pointing at her, his face alight with excitement, he was almost reluctant to let her leave. Ah A frowned, stepped forward to block a bit. The others, caught in the excitement, gathered around Sui Yi, shouting: "Miss Sui, the jade you and your elders unearthed yesterday was a real stroke of luck! You’ve made us all so envious..."
