Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 382 - 381: The talent we’ve been waiting for, but have no interest in at all

He intentionally said this to reveal his identity.

Chi Gui just smiled, "We shall meet again if fate allows."

That was a tactful rejection.

The old man was disappointed, but had no choice but to let Chi Gui leave.

As soon as Chi Gui left, the customers who had been surrounding them swarmed over, "A million, right? We want to buy too!"

Such is the nature of jade gambling, once someone uncovers a good piece at a stall, everyone else rushes to buy, hoping to share in the luck.

The old man’s face turned cold again in an instant, "A million, pick any you like."

Having said that, he lay down on the lounge chair, closed his eyes again, and began pondering what kind of background this Huaxia girl had.

He had come to Huaxia incognito this time specifically to scout for talent, but he hadn’t expected that the first person he discovered had no interest in him whatsoever.

After much deliberation, the old man still couldn’t accept it. Once the stones at his stall were sold out, he got up and leisurely made his way to the organizer’s office upstairs.

On the other side, Mrs. Fu did not realize what had just happened until Chi Gui escorted her some distance away.

She turned her head, looking at Chi Gui in surprise, "Miss Chi, your eye for quality is truly impressive! You managed to find a treasure that no one else noticed!"

Mrs. Fu knew Chi Gui and understood that she was never someone to rely on luck.

If she chose to gamble on stones instead of buying ready-made jade, it meant she was confident of purchasing jade worth several times the price!

No, now it should be said, several hundred times!

Hearing Mrs. Fu’s words, Chi Gui chuckled softly with a light, gentle voice, carrying a calming power, "See, with my good eye, why don’t you trust me this once and bring your design to the Jade Appreciation Conference the day after tomorrow for a showcase? I guarantee that the piece you’ve designed will be the most dazzling at the conference."

Mrs. Fu’s expression paused, and she said nothing.

Chi Gui didn’t say anything more and just accompanied Mrs. Fu as they slowly browsed around.

On the second floor of the Jade Appreciation Conference, there were four offices, two on each side.

The conference was an annual event sponsored by the four biggest jewelers internationally and organized by the International Jewelry Association. Each jeweler had a separate office.

The person in charge of the Jewelry Association had their office on the third floor.

Cadies was one of the four major jewelers.

At this moment, in the office near the stairs, the assistant respectfully reported everything that had happened downstairs to Cadies, who was sitting by the window.

After the report, he commented, "Mr. Cadies, based on what we’ve seen, the intelligence is accurate. At present, the Fu Family is nowhere near matching the Jin Family. The people from the Fu Family not only lack understanding of jade and jewelry but even that so-called Professor Chi Gui... is arrogantly ignorant, no wonder she was surpassed by Professor Shi Liyun."

Cadies was the second sponsor to come to Huaxia.

He had long set sights on the massive market of the Huaxia jewelry industry and was seeking a partner. He had been hesitating between the Jin Family and the Fu Family, but now, after hearing his assistant’s report, he made up his mind, "Help me arrange a meeting with Old Jin, after the conference is over, let’s all have a meal together."

The assistant nodded and went out to make arrangements.

With a long-standing issue resolved, Cadies was in a good mood and opened his door ready to go downstairs for a stroll.

As he opened the door, a man also came out from the office opposite.

Seeing the other party, Cadies smiled and took the initiative to approach, "Xue Cheng, didn’t you say your family is waiting for a big shot to partner with you? If it’s the Jin Family, I’m sorry to inform you regrettably, they’ve decided to partner with me."

The Xue Family from Huaxia ranked third among the international jewelry industry’s four major jewelers.

They were only slightly higher than the Cadis family.

The two had been in overt and covert competition for many years.

Finally, Cadies could get the upper hand over the Xue Family, and he couldn’t be happier.
