My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 458 - 458 458 The False Jade Incident

458: Chapter 458: The False Jade Incident 458: Chapter 458: The False Jade Incident Hearing such a price, the old Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner felt it was too high.

He had never bargained when selling the shop, and he remembered this clearly.

Now, the salary for seeing patients seemed so high that he wondered if what Su Xuan was saying was really true.

After agreeing to the transfer of the shop, Azure Dragon immediately went to handle the transfer contract, and with nothing else to do, Su Xuan stayed at the medical shop to ask the old practitioner about some questions regarding medical skills.

Having studied the medical books he received carefully, Su Xuan’s control over medical skills had skyrocketed, so when he started asking the old practitioner about some doubts he had, his questions were quite pointed.

The old practitioner admired Su Xuan’s learning ability and was surprised to find such a young person who was so fond of Huaxia’s traditional medicine.

Before long, Azure Dragon returned with the transfer contract, and the old practitioner, being very straightforward, signed it without any hesitation.

Another contract, the labor contract, was also reviewed by the old practitioner and signed without any issues.

Once the transaction was complete, Su Xuan asked all the questions he had in mind and then left the herbal shop.

By the time he returned to Fang Shiyu, it was already noon.

Shortly after returning to Fang Shiyu, in the stone-cutting room, Su Xuan watched several master craftsmen carefully handle the precious stones he had brought back from the Gambling Stone Mall.

As for the experts in carving, these craftsmen had already introduced their friends, so now, Fang Shiyu was gradually establishing a firm foothold in the antique market.

“President Su!”

Upon seeing Su Xuan, the craftsmen were extremely polite!

Su Xuan nodded to signal for the craftsmen to stop.

These rare stones were mainly for Su Xuan’s cultivation; previously busy with handling various matters, Su Xuan hadn’t had the time to absorb the spiritual energy contained within these stones.

“Masters, let’s slow down the cutting and crafting of these rare stones.

You all go help in the shop with some raw stones for now.

I’ll send someone to inform you once I have a detailed plan!”

“Alright, President Su!”

Before long, the room was left with only Su Xuan, who, looking at the stones, activated the Summoning Spirit Curse and felt the dense spiritual energy.

A smile appeared on Su Xuan’s face.

“When I have time, I must absorb all this spiritual energy; it’s indeed valuable!” Su Xuan muttered.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the room where Su Xuan was.

Opening the door, he saw Wang Fang with a slightly flushed face.

“What happened?” Su Xuan asked.

“President Su, there’s trouble in the shop again.

Most of these people are ordinary citizens who are falsely accusing our shop of selling fake jade.

There’s already a large crowd gathering at the entrance, and it feels like it’s escalating!”

“Fake jade?

There will always be scoundrels trying to harm me!”

Su Xuan muttered to himself and immediately left the small room to deal with this sudden turn of events.

Without thinking, he knew it was definitely another meticulously planned plot, but Su Xuan couldn’t figure out who was behind it.

When Su Xuan arrived at the hall of Fang Shiyu, he saw a dense crowd at the entrance…

The dense crowd at the entrance of Fang Shiyu made Su Xuan involuntarily frown.

“Those selling fake jade, get out of Antique Street!”

“Give back our money, you’re all frauds!”

Various curses were heard at the entrance of Fang Shiyu, mostly from middle-aged and elderly women.

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow: “This is some foolish trick to damage our shop’s reputation!”

Wang Fang beside him was a bit pale, having never seen such a scene: “It must be our competitors.

Our shop has been doing well these past few days, they are probably jealous and staged this whole charade!”

“If I find out who caused this, I’ll make sure they won’t recognize their own mothers!”

Su Xuan dropped a remark and had already rushed to the entrance.

Looking at the crowd of extras, he smiled: “Everyone, our shop does not sell fake jade, you must be mistaken!”

Su Xuan’s voice, with its strong penetrating power, stilled the group of middle-aged and elderly women.

“Do you think we are idiots?

How could we be mistaken?

We are all victims of your fake jade!” a middle-aged woman said angrily, then abruptly pulled out a jade pendant and smashed it on the doorstep of Fang Shiyu.

“Do you see this?

This is the fake jade sold by Fang Shiyu!”

After furiously smashing the fake jade on the ground, the middle-aged woman continued, “This jade pendant was bought from your store, valued at two hundred thousand yuan.

They told me it was an ancient jade pendant and that wearing it often would make it more lustrous.

I wore it every day!”

“But then, just a few days later, the pendant discolored, and my skin became red, swollen, and itchy.

If this isn’t fake jade, what is it?

You bunch of murderers, give back my hard-earned money!”

The middle-aged woman’s acting was impeccable, almost making Su Xuan believe that his own shop really did sell fake jade.

The middle-aged woman showed the swelling under her neck where she wore the jade pendant, convincing the onlookers even more of what she had claimed.

The staff members of Fang Shiyu’s store all looked displeased; such commotion had severely damaged the store’s reputation and, more importantly, it would be very difficult for the store to establish itself here in the future.

Su Xuan was furious, hating the mastermind behind this setup even more.

In his heart, he had secretly sworn that if he found out who was behind this, he would make them unrecognizable.

Agitated by the middle-aged woman’s inciting words, Su Xuan took a megaphone from a nearby attendant.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I say once more, our Fang Shiyu does not sell fake jade, please respect yourselves!”

This statement from Su Xuan only drew more animosity, making the spectators see him more like the owner of a dishonest shop.

“The jade sold by our store, every piece of jade comes with an appraisal certificate and a jade sales report!”

“Since you claim that the fake jade you bought is from our store, then please show us our appraisal certificate and jade sales report?”

The voice from Su Xuan’s megaphone quieted the crowd outside the doors of Fang Shiyu.

They knew they had been paid to act in this play here, and now Su Xuan was asking them to produce appraisal certificates and jade sales reports, terms they hadn’t expected.

The middle-aged woman who had previously been showcasing her acting skills spoke, “We are all upset for buying fake jade, and we threw away the appraisal certificates and sales reports, thinking they were fake!”

With a sneer, Su Xuan dismissed her claim.

“You disposed of the appraisal certificates and jade sales reports, and you also discarded your conscience, the very baseline of being human.

Our Fang Shiyu can withstand police checks and all kinds of inquiries, but what we absolutely cannot accept are false accusations.

Your acting skills are truly despicable, and I don’t care who instructed you, today I will make you understand, Fang Shiyu is not to be trifled with!”

Su Xuan said indignantly, the sound from the megaphone booming all around him.

The next moment, he ordered his people to surround the group at the door.

“Call the police!”

This command changed the color of their faces, and did they start to cause even more chaos?

The head of the Southern District police station happens to be an old friend of the Lai family, so Su Xuan naturally wasn’t afraid that the police might be bribed.

Such false accusations had to be dealt with decisively, otherwise the reputation of the store would suffer irreparable damage.

“Unscrupulous businessman!”

“Those who sell fakes will not die well!”

The middle-aged woman roared in the crowd, causing these actors to yell loudly as well.

For a moment, so many people gathered at the entrance of Fang Shiyu that the place nearly turned into a square.

Some who had previously bought jade from Fang Shiyu took out their own jade and began to check it thoroughly.

“Mine doesn’t look like a fake at all!”

“Mine isn’t fake either; I’ve been wearing it for a month now, and there haven’t been any adverse reactions!”

“Certainly, these people were paid to play roles and slander Fang Shiyu, thereby damaging Fang Shiyu’s reputation!”

“This is a conspiracy, a war within a competition!”

The crowd gradually realized that Fang Shiyu might really be innocent, just as Su Xuan had said, since buying jade from Fang Shiyu always included an appraisal certificate and a sales report, both of which are crucial evidence.

These troublemakers not producing the appraisal certificate and sales report immediately drastically reduced the credibility of their claims.

Observing these people, Su Xuan also thought of some individuals he had recently offended and was confident about two suspects in his mind.

The first suspect was the son of the owner of the Gambling Stone Mall, who was also Li Ting’s suitor, and the other was Gao Qiang, and behind him, the Gao Group; Gao Zhongsheng had left with harsh words.

Reflecting on these thoughts, Su Xuan felt even more certain of his suspicions.

“Trying to frame Fang Shiyu?

Too naive.

If this slanderous storm is handled well, it could definitely boost the reputation of Fang Shiyu!”

After about fifteen minutes, He Yaohui personally arrived with a dozen people at Antique Street in the Southern District.

With a smile on his face, Su Xuan looked at He Yaohui.

He Yaohui had received instructions from the Lai family; if Su Xuan was causing a stir in the Southern District, the Lai family was naturally willing to arrange everything for him.

“Uncle He!”

“Su, what exactly is going on?” He Yaohui surveyed the scene and asked.

“Uncle He, these people are slandering us, saying they bought fake jade at my store and causing a disturbance.

I asked them to produce the jade sales report and the jade’s unique appraisal certificate, but they couldn’t produce them, so I had no choice but to ask Uncle He to manage the situation!”

He Yaohui nodded, his gaze settling on the group of troublemakers…
