Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 380 - 379: Fu Si has money, we can afford the compensation

"Chi Gui?" Mrs. Fu asked, puzzled.

The old man, upon seeing someone approach, didn’t bother to greet them. He merely lifted his eyelids and lazily said, "One million each, no bargaining, feel free to pick."

One million?!

Not far away, having just seen off the Yao Family and Jin Ran, an assistant preparing to go upstairs to report to Cadies paused momentarily, thought for a second, then walked towards Chi Gui.

After all, they were part of the Fu Family, and the assistant knew about the Fu Family’s standing in the Capital City. He wanted to do them a favor.

He walked up to Chi Gui and, in fluent Chinese, whispered, "Miss, the stones on this booth are of bad quality and small, they usually sell for just tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. A price of one million is already way beyond normal. You should go to the next booth instead. There, a raw stone costs only one hundred thousand, and the jade carved out of it will be worth at least fifty thousand, so you won’t lose much."

Chi Gui glanced at the assistant and politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think the stones here are pretty good."

Hearing her response, the assistant couldn’t help but shake his head.

It seemed as though she was a big spender who didn’t understand the real value.

Losing interest in persuading further, the assistant turned and went upstairs.

Chi Gui’s actions also attracted the attention of clients at the neighboring booth.

After all, the old man’s asking price was exorbitantly high, and ordinary people wouldn’t foolishly buy from him. Seeing Chi Gui so determined, everyone couldn’t help but gather around to watch the excitement.

Chi Gui ignored the others, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed as she attentively inspected each raw stone at the booth.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Fu sighed silently and gave up on persuading her.

Oh well, the Fu Family could afford to lose that one million. If Miss Chi wanted to be willful, then let her be.

Chi Gui didn’t take long in front of the booth before picking up the smallest stone there, "I’ll take this one."

As she picked up the stone, the onlookers burst into quiet laughter.

"This girl really knows nothing! Spending a million on such a small, poorly formed stone, she’s probably going to lose sleep over this!"

"Ah, at every exhibition, isn’t there always one or two fools who pretend to know it all?"

"A million... If it were me, I’d choose the largest one in the corner, to make a big profit or at least minimize the loss!"

There were all sorts of comments, and since everyone came from different countries and spoke their own languages, they assumed that Chi Gui and Mrs. Fu, the two Huaxia people, couldn’t understand, so they spoke without restraint.

No one noticed that when Chi Gui picked up that smallest raw stone, the old man, who had been squinting and not once looking at them, suddenly widened his eyes, shocked as he observed Chi Gui’s face closely.

In front of the booth, Mrs. Fu heard every word clearly and her face subtly showed discomfort.

She knew that Chi Gui was proficient in eleven languages and must have understood everything. Moving forward, she encouraged Chi Gui, "Don’t worry, just cut it open randomly. Fu Si has money; we can afford the loss!"

Chi Gui was startled.

She had intended to pay for it herself but felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing Mrs. Fu’s words.

But why emphasize that Fu Si was rich?

Chi Gui silently took a moment, then pulled out her phone and said to a nearby waiter, "Please take me to make the payment." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Since the clients were from various countries, each booth had waiters arranged by the organizer to accompany the clients to a central cashier to pay, arranged by the event organizers.

This not only saved the clients the trouble of converting to Huaxia Coin but since every item in the exhibition started at one hundred thousand, and the amounts involved were large, it was safer for the organizer to handle the transactions to prevent any potential fraud.

The waiter bowed respectfully, "Please follow me."

Chi Gui replied, "Okay."

She was about to follow the waiter to make the payment, holding the raw stone, when suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist!
