Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Rough Jadeite Auction this time was held at an auction house in the South City. The venue was surrounded by reporters.
Seeing Sheng Jian getting out of a stretch limousine, a barrage of camera flashes fired at him capturing his every move.
“Mr. Sheng, are you confident about this Rough Jadeite Auction? Have you done your research in advance? It’s said that all the stones this time are from Myanara, and the industry speculates they could all be valuable gems. What’s your take on that?”
Reporters bombarded Sheng Jian with questions. However, he did not answer a single question, donning his coat and walking inside. He truly had the demeanor of a tycoon.
But what caught everyone’s attention was that this time Sheng Jian had someone with him. He was consistently seen protecting the girl beside him, leading her inside. It wasn’t until Sheng Jian entered the building that the reporters stopped their shooting and checked their footage.
In the photos captured, the girl in black was obscured by a black cap covering half her face, making her features indistinct.
“Who is that?”
A crowd scrutinized the figure closely. Seemingly capturing some information, their eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
“Look, doesn’t this girl resemble Ms. Chu who was with Sheng Ye twenty years ago?”
“Ms. Chu?!”
With that reminder, the reporters realized the startling resemblance. So someone hurriedly called their office, asking colleagues to dig up the rare photos of Sheng Jian’s rumored girlfriend from years ago. Soon enough, someone received photos sent over by a colleague.
Upon comparison, they all took a sharp breath of surprise.
“She resembles the once-famous Ms. Chu so closely! Could this girl be the daughter of Ms. Chu and Sheng Jian?”
“It’s possible! Otherwise, why would Sheng Jian never marry? It must be to protect the daughter he has hidden for over twenty years!”
People are naturally curious, and what was supposed to be just an opportunity to witness the majesty of Sheng Jian turned into a scoop they hadn’t anticipated! They had already thought of what to write for today’s piece and they believed it would be explosive.
Meanwhile, inside the venue, Sheng Jian and Rong Qi were unfazed and unaware of the frenzy of reporters outside.
“Can you tell which stones are good just by looking at them?” Rong Qi asked, tilting her head.
Sheng Jian raised an eyebrow, proud of his expertise. Before the auction began, he led Rong Qi around the venue, examining the stones on display.
“In the world of rough jadeite, there’s a saying, if there’s white mist under the skin, better to cut it wrong than to miss out. This business is deep, you’ll learn slowly.”
Rong Qi nodded, pressing her face against the glass, intrigued by the jadeite cuts inside. However, she wasn’t into this kind of gambling because it seemed too risky. Playing with rough jadeite was like taking a chance that might cost her everything she owned.
Instead of waiting to strike it rich by cutting the right stone, Rong Qi would rather take on a couple of cases on the medical forum and make a modest two billion yuan.
Sheng Jian, indeed a bellwether in the field, had just arrived, and already people wanted to greet him. However, he was inherently aloof, and all the social niceties were blocked by his two assistants.
Still, they couldn’t help but crane their necks to get a better look at Rong Qi, their shock and amazement no less than the reporters outside. The reason was that a woman appeared beside Sheng Jian once again after decades.
The social niceties’ gazes followed Sheng Jian and Rong Qi, but Sheng Jian didn’t want to be disturbed, so he led Rong Qi to the most prestigious VIP position in the first row.
The reporters aimed their cameras inside and wondered who was the girl sitting beside Sheng Jian that had been empty for over twenty years..
