Chapter 1412: Chapter 1411: Don’t Even Ask the Price
The sun had risen high into the sky, and another day had passed.
There were only four days left until the official start of the large comparison of the War Department.
Qiao Bing got up early again to work at the hospital, and sometimes she couldn’t help but muse, being a doctor was really busy.
But some people enjoy it, feeling that curing the sick brings a sense of spiritual satisfaction.
Qiao Bing was such a person, so she didn’t feel the hardship or fatigue.
After she left, Lin Dong picked up his phone and casually checked it, discovering several messages in WeChat.
Those messages were from his old friend Lin Yu, who he had run into two days before.
Lin Dong had run into Lin Yu, his friend from the village, at the Pharmacy last time. They had originally planned to have dinner together, but Lin Yu’s girlfriend, Ai Jing, had pulled him away.
So, the dinner didn’t happen.
However, the two had still exchanged contact information.
And the messages he was looking at now were from Lin Yu.
Lin Dong quickly opened them to see what they were.
"Brother, my restaurant is opening tomorrow, come to my restaurant’s inauguration ceremony then, I’ll treat you to a meal," Lin Yu wrote directly.
Below this message, he also sent Lin Dong an address.
Lin Dong had been sleeping before, so he hadn’t seen the message, but now that he saw it, he replied.
"Okay, Brother Yu, then I’ll come disturb you tomorrow."
"Hahaha, good brother, what disturbance are you talking about."
After chatting briefly, Lin Yu sent another message: "Dongzi, remember to come over early tomorrow. I’m really busy right now, got to go take care of the restaurant’s opening."
"My sister-in-law went to get her hair done today, leaving me to rush around dealing with the opening by myself, really don’t have time to chat more."
"Yeah, I understand. Brother Yu, go do your thing."
After finishing the chat with Lin Yu on WeChat, Lin Dong began thinking about something.
Since it was Brother Yu’s restaurant opening tomorrow, Lin Dong felt he needed to bring him something.
You can’t go to your friend’s restaurant opening ceremony empty-handed, can you?
Certainly not.
He thought for a moment and decided to give Lin Yu a ’Peace Jade.’
But he didn’t have any jade articles on him, so he’d need to go to the Jade Mall to find some good jade.
To carve a Peace Amulet, he couldn’t just pick any piece of jade, as it wouldn’t be effective.
Only top-grade jade could be used to carve a ’Peace Jade’ that would ensure someone’s safety.
With this in mind, Lin Dong got up and left the house.
He hailed a taxi and headed directly for the Jade Mall.
Soon, he arrived at Jade Street.
He went from one shop to another, looking for the premium jade stone he needed.
After visiting a couple of stores, he found the quality of the jade to be lacking.
So he continued to look in bigger jade stores.
Finally, Lin Dong asked a passerby on the street.
"Which is the biggest jade store on this Jade Street?"
The passerby pointed ahead and said, "If you’re asking for the biggest jade store on this street, it has to be ’Yuxuan Pavilion.’ It’s opened by the Wealthy Family of the Capital City, the Li Family!"
"Its owner is none other than Miss Li Yanran, the young lady of the Li Family! Even though Miss Yanran is just dabbling for fun, there’s no match for it on this street."
"You can find almost any jade there; they have major suppliers from the Nephrite Nation."
Society is like that; if you have an overwhelming family background, whatever you want to do becomes simple.
Just like opening this jade store, Miss Yanran was merely treating it like a hobby, yet she made it one of the best in the Capital City.
Instantly outperformed all the jade stores on this street.
Because their family background is there, their connections are there.
They can directly import from the largest supplier in Nephrite Nation, and that too at the lowest prices. How could other stores compete with them?
Moreover, with the Li Family’s background in the Capital City, countless officials and nobles are eager to curry favor with them.
Imagine, whose first choice wouldn’t be to buy jade articles from ’Yuxuan Pavilion,’ set up by Li Yanran?
Lin Dong was also somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Li Yanran to open such a jade store.
However, he wasn’t about to personally call her to request her presence just to buy a piece of top-grade jade.
That was unnecessary.
Besides, the relationship between him and Li Yanran was a very delicate one.
Lin Dong didn’t want to provoke her unnecessarily.
He wasn’t short of money. If Yuxuan Pavilion had the top-grade jade he needed, he would simply use money to get it.
Soon, Lin Dong arrived at the biggest jade store on this street, ’Yuxuan Pavilion.’
As he entered, a classical girl in a cheongsam gracefully greeted him.
"Hello, Sir, are you here to buy jade articles?"
Lin Dong nodded, asking, "Do you have any Imperial Green glass type jade articles here?"
The cheongsam-clad beauty was taken aback and quickly said,
"Of course, we do. The most recent addition to our store is a piece of ’Jade King,’ an Emperor Green Dragon and Phoenix jade glass type pendant."
"The base material for the pendant is from the top-grade Imperial Green quality from Nephrite Nation, and we commissioned the top jade carver in Nephrite Nation to carve it. The carver spent half a year meticulously creating the dragon and phoenix design for that Emperor Green pendant."
"However, this kind of jade, with both top-quality base material and carving, comes at a high price. I wonder, Sir..."
Lin Dong waved his hand and interrupted, "Money is not an issue, take me to see it."
The cheongsam beauty’s eyes lit up. She could tell that Lin Dong had an extraordinary presence, and his tone didn’t seem like he was boasting or joking.
She nodded and said, "Okay, Sir, I’ll take you there."
She was thinking that if this client really had the money to buy the Emperor Green Dragon and Phoenix jade glass type pendant, she would earn a commission of several hundred thousand.
This was a big deal indeed!
But she was also thinking that he might not actually be able to afford it, after all, he hadn’t seen the price yet.
Perhaps after seeing the price, he would back off.
However, as a salesperson, she politely escorted Lin Dong and kept introducing the pendant to him along the way.
The pendant was displayed in the center of an exhibition hall on the second floor, and soon, the cheongsam lady brought Lin Dong to the side of the Emperor Green Dragon and Phoenix jade glass type pendant.
Lin Dong only glanced at it once and immediately said,
"This pendant is of good quality, I’ll buy it!"
The cheongsam lady was stunned, somewhat taken aback, "That... Sir, you haven’t asked for the price yet?"
She had never encountered this kind of customer.
Damn, was he that rich? Buying it without even asking the price?
Hearing her words, Lin Dong casually asked, "Oh right, I haven’t asked how much it costs. How much is it? I’ll take it."
Cheongsam lady: "..."
She cleared her throat and quickly said, "This Emperor Green jade glass type pendant is priced at ten million. Sir, are you sure you want to purchase it?"
Lin Dong took out a card and said, "Buy it. Go and process the payment!"
Cheongsam lady: "..."
She was stunned.
Was this man too rich or what?
A ten million item, just bought like that?
