Chapter 16: Sky-high Price

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yang Kun was extremely satisfied with her attitude. This young lady looked young, but her composure was extraordinarily calm.

Ordinary people would want to curry favor with him as soon as they knew his identity, but this little girl in front of him was neither servile nor overbearing. She was someone who could keep her cool.

“How much can my jade fetch?” Nian Yue asked.

“How much did Manager Zhang quote you?” Yang Kun asked Manager Zhang with his hands behind his back.

“10 million.”

“10 million?” Yang Kun almost jumped up when he heard this number. Without thinking, he slapped Manager Zhang’s head. “You prodigal! Who asked you to set the price!”

Manager Zhang was stunned by his slap. “Are you saying that the price is too high… but I think this jade is worth that much…”

“Bullshit!”

Yang Kun was so angry that his face and neck turned red. He immediately cursed, “That piece of jade is far from that price! You can’t just set a price just because it’s small!”

Manager Zhang never expected Yang Kun to hit him because of this.

However, in his eyes, 10 million dollars was already his limit. Could there be a higher pricing?

“Then how much do you think this jade is worth?” Manager Zhang looked at Yang Kun expectantly.

“Little girl, how much do you think this jade is worth?” Yang Kun turned around and asked Nian Yue.

Nian Yue did not beat around the bush. “Since you were invited by Manager Zhang, it goes without saying that you will be the one to set the price.”

“Little girl, do you trust me that much?” Yang Kun raised his eyebrows and asked her.

This jade was extremely expensive. It was not a small matter if one were to add more digits to the price. But Nian Yue actually gave him the right to set the price?

“Since Mr. Yang is the founder of Gan Kun Hall, he is not foolish enough to cheat a young lady over a little bit of money.” Nian Yue smiled.

Yang Kun laughed out loud and said, “Since Miss Nian trusts me so much, I shall make an offer.”

“Please.”

“50 million.” Yang Kun stretched out five fingers.

“50 million?” When Manager Zhang heard this number, he gaped his mouth so widely that it could fit an egg.

Was this jade really worth that much?

“Isn’t this quite a lot?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows. She only knew that this stone was valuable, but she did not expect it to be appraised so highly.

“This is the first time I’ve met someone who said that I offered too high a price.” Yang Kun was amused by her reaction.

“Mr Yang, isn’t this price a little too high?” Manager Zhang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and ran over to ask again with uncertainty.

Since he was able to become the manager, he had some knowledge about jade.

“Listen to me. Take this jade for 50 million!”

He had yet to misjudge anything in his career.

After setting the price, Manager Zhang brought Nian Yue to make up the remaining 40 million.

Yang Kun was very fond of Nian Yue. He repeatedly told her that the next time she came across a stone with such good quality, she could look for him.

He even forcefully gave Nian Yue his contact details.

Nian Yue nodded and exchanged contact information with him via WeChat, which was an app used in this era for exchange and transfers. Although she did not use it often, Nian Yue knew that it would definitely be useful in the future.

Nian Yue left Gan Kun Hall and went to the nearest internet cafe.

After paying, Nian Yue found a spot and turned on her computer. She went straight to the stock exchange center, registered an account and threw all the money in.

The 50 million dollar transaction instantly blew up the forum.

“What the heck, what kind of big boss is this? He just opened his account and he’s already spent so much money!

“I don’t think this is a big shot. It must be a wastrel. Who dares to spend so much of his own money?!”

“This person must be crazy!”

...

The equity trading center’s forum exploded in an instant. Nian Yue took a few casual glances. As she did not find the information she wanted, she turned off the computer and left.

At the thought that there were still two lessons left in school, Nian Yue carried her school bag and returned to school.

She was not a good student and did not care about the school rules. She only returned to school because she felt bored and could not be bothered to return to the Nian family home.

The next two classes were mathematics. Nian Yue didn’t find it interesting and just laid on the table to sleep.

When she woke up, the classroom was empty.

Nian Yue yawned and rubbed her temples with her slender fingers. Her eyes regained their usual coldness. Then, she stood up and carried her bag home.

The campus was already pitch black, with only a few students walking together. When Nian Yue reached the corner of the stairs, she inadvertently heard sounds coming from inside.

She was about to walk over when she heard something. A cold glint flashed past her eyes and she entered the stairwell.

At this moment, in the stairwell

Lin Nan, who had his hair dyed grey, was beaten black and blue. He lay on the ground, panting. The others had dyed their hair yellow and were dressed sloppily. One look and you could tell they were hoodlums.

Jiang City No. 1 Middle School was an elite school and was located in the most prosperous central area of the city. In addition, the school’s security was strict, so outsiders could not enter.

She didn’t know what was going on, but it seemed these hooligans had actually swaggered in.

Lin Nan lay on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes was still there. “This time, I fell into your hands. I admit defeat! But let me warn you : Don’t let me meet you next time! Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

His buddies who usually hung out with him had gone out early this time, causing him to fall behind. He did not expect that these little brats would actually have an opportunity to reach him!

The lead of the group laughed instead. He walked over in two or three steps and stepped on Lin Nan’s face. “Pfft! Don’t be so shameless! I heard you’re the school bully of No.1 Middle School. You didn’t expect this day to come, did you?”

These students were all high school students and usually did not get along with Lin Nan. Now that they finally had the chance, it went without saying that they would settle the old and new scores together!

They took the chance when Lin Nan was alone to block him at the staircase.

“Brother Wang, don’t waste your breath on him. Hurry up and let us vent our anger!” Someone at the side couldn’t hold it in any longer and was getting ready to beat Lin Nan up.

“This place is so narrow. Can you use it?” A young girl’s disinterested voice sounded behind them.

The few hooligans shuddered and turned around instinctively. They saw a young girl in a sky-blue school uniform leaning against the corner of the wall. She had one hand in her pocket and the other holding her bag. The collar of her school uniform was slightly open and she looked nonchalant.

They wondered how much she had seen.

“Nian Yue?” Even Lin Nan was shocked when he saw Nian Yue. He quickly signaled her with his eyes to leave.

“Nian Yue?”

The leader seemed to have heard something interesting. They looked at one another and saw the affirmation they wanted.
