Chapter 210 - 210: What If It Turns Out to Be True



“Fake?” Song Jian hesitated, then laughed incredulously, pointing at the “Jewel: Flame” on the table. “You’re saying this is fake?”

By now, the sun had shifted angles, and the light no longer shone on the “Jewel: Flame”, hiding the flame-like haze on its surface. The ruby now appeared as a finely carved piece of red glass.

Seeing Song Jian’s confident expression, Ding Yi hesitated, then took another closer look at the gem on the table.

“All, the craftsmanship is good, but the gem is incredibly fake. How could such a piece of jewelry be real? There has never been such a large ruby in the world. Are you saying that this man has brought forth the world’s largest?” Ding Yi couldn’t help but laugh at the thought.

“Even if this piece of jewelry were real, it certainly wouldn’t belong to someone whose entire outfit doesn’t even amount to 300 yuan!” Thinking of this, Ding Yi looked up at Song Jian and couldn’t help but admire Song Jian’s acting skills. “Are scammers so professional these days that they remain so righteous even after being exposed?”

“Alright, sir, take your toy and leave immediately, or 1’11 call the police!” Ding Yi said seriously.

Song Jian frowned, couldn’t help but stand up, and a violent murderous intent surged in his heart. Luckily, his reaction was quick, and the murderous intent vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

Ding Yi suddenly found that when the other party rose from his seat, he seemed like a ferocious humanoid beast, ready to pounce on and devour him in the next moment.

“All, you!” Ding Yi’s face turned white. He hurriedly retreated a few steps, bumping into the door painfully. When he looked at Song Jian again, that feeling had suddenly disappeared, as if it had all been a figment of his imagination.

“Alright, since Jiade isn’t willing to accept this auction item, I’ll just find another company.” Song Jian shook his head and said.

“Of course, you can. Haha, 1 suggest you try the Shengshi Auction House across the street. Their appraisers aren’t as professional as ours, so maybe they’ll be fooled. Haha!” Ding Yi laughed sarcastically, a contemptuous look on his face. He thought to himself, “Anyone with a little appraisal experience would easily realize the truth. The people at Shengshi must be blind to accept this item…”

Boom-

The private room door was pushed open, and Ding Yi was sent flying towards the table by a strong force, hitting his head on the solid wooden table.

“Ouch, who is it?” Anger rose in Ding Yi’s heart. He quickly turned and glared, but his expression quickly changed.

“The general manager has arrived.” Ding Yi’s face revealed a flattering smile, followed by a stern scolding of Zhou Li, who was beside the general manager. “Zhou Li, how could you casually bring out the general manager for any person and any item? Don’t you have eyes to see that this is clearly a counterfeit? You made the general manager lose face by calling him down here. Do you not want your job?”

“Counterfeit!” General Manager Sun Yong hesitated, then glanced at Zhou Li with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Zhou Li has been a long-time employee of Jiade. He would not joke about his position,” Sun Yong thought to himself.

“Counterfeit? How could it be? Even a blind person could see that the piece of jewelry is precious. How could it be a counterfeit!” Zhou Li couldn’t help but retort.

Seeing Ding Yi preparing to argue, Sun Yong frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, “Alright, stop arguing. Let me take a look at the item first!”

It was unprofessional for two appraisers to argue in front of the client.

“General Manager, it’s the piece of jewelry on the table. It’s a rare treasure. I believe that there will never be a second gem as brilliant as this one in the world!” Zhou Li said excitedly.

Song Jian: “…Haha!”

With Zhou Li’s comments, Song Jian felt embarrassed to bring out the other “Jewel: Deep Blue”.

However, Song Jian also knew that he couldn’t present both pieces at the same time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sell them at a high price.

Sun Yong gave Song Jian a polite smile and then looked at the “Jewel: Flame” on the table. At first glance, he was amazed. Were people really so bold as to pass off glass as a gem now?

But soon, Sun Yong noticed the fine craftsmanship of the piece. Even if it were just a piece of glass, the exquisite carving alone would make it worth over 100,000 yuan.

“Would someone really use glass for such craftsmanship? Wouldn’t that be…” As this thought crossed Sun Yong’s mind, he suddenly became excited.

He carefully picked up the gem and took out a magnifying glass to examine it closely.

After studying it for a full three minutes, Sun Yong quickly beckoned Zhou Li and said, “Go and get Old Wang and Old Sun over here!”

“Yes, General Manager!” Zhou Li instantly showed an elated expression and hurriedly left the private room.

“General Manager, what are you…” Ding Yi’s heart sank, feeling that something was amiss.

“Don’t speak!” Sun Yong glared at Zhou Li.

“Haha, I’m sorry. This appraiser said that my item is a fake and told me to try my luck at the Shengshi Auction House across the street. I won’t bother you then.” With that, Song Jian feigned an attempt to retrieve the gem and leave.

“Sir, please wait. As compensation, our auction house is willing to charge only a 3% commission fee. This is an offer that no other auction house can give. You should know that the usual auction fees range between 10% and 15%. 1 believe you wouldn’t turn away from the offer because of the money, right?” Sun Yong said with a smile.

“I believe that as long as I bring out this piece of jewelry, any auction house will give me the best commission rate. Some might even waive the fee entirely. What do you think?” Song Jian shrugged and continued, “Moreover, I am skeptical about the skill level of your appraiser, and what irritates me even more is his attitude towards me. If your company can’t give me an explanation, 1 won’t choose to work with you!”

If Ding Yi couldn’t figure out what was happening at this moment, he would have wasted his years working in this field. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

“How could this be? This item is obviously a fake. How could there be such a transparent and massive ruby in the world?” Ding Yi’s eyes flickered, his heart filled with unease.

Seeing Sun Yong’s serious expression, a thought suddenly flashed through Ding Yi’s mind: “What if… the gem really is real? What should I do?”

As Ding Yi was in a panic, the door to the private room was pushed open, and two elderly men followed Zhou Li inside.

“Manager Sun, what can’t you figure out that requires both of us old fellows to come? Quickly show us what it is and let this old man broaden his horizons!” The elderly man in front chuckled.

Ding Yi watched the two old men as a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, thinking, “If the two old men also insist that it’s a counterfeit, then…”
