“Well, in fact, I touched this jade raw material half a second earlier than you,” Gu Ning said and wasn’t annoyed at all.
Although the woman tried to grab this piece of raw material away, her attitude wasn’t very rude and she was also willing to compete for it.
People around them turned to look at them. None of them had paid attention to them before, so nobody knew whether they touched this raw material at the same time.
The stand owner did see both of their hands, but he thought they touched this raw material at almost the same time. However, Gu Ning insisted that she touched this raw material half a second earlier.
Zheng Peng and Leng Shaoting also noticed the argument. Zheng Peng asked, “It seems that boss encountered trouble, do we need to help her?”
“It’s fine. She can handle it.” Leng Shaoting clearly heard their discussion, and knew that it wasn’t a big deal.
Since Gu Ning told them to wait for her, they should listen to her. If Gu Ning couldn’t solve this problem, she would turn to him for help.
“Can you prove it?” the woman asked.
“There are surveillance cameras everywhere. It’s easy to find out the truth,” Gu Ning said, then turned to look at the stand owner. “Right?”
Seeing Gu Ning being so confident, the stand owner nodded. “Yeah, yeah.”
“Great!” The woman had no intention to give it up.
Even if the surveillance video proved that she was half a second later than Gu Ning, she could apologize. It wasn’t easy to find a piece of jade raw material of high quality, so she was unwilling to miss it.
Afterwards, the stand owner told his assistant to guard the stand, and he went to check the surveillance video along with Gu Ning and the woman.
After watching the video, they found that Gu Ning indeed touched the raw material half a second earlier than the woman.
“Well, fine, I’m sorry. This is yours,” the woman said, although she was disappointed.
“Thanks,” Gu Ning said, then turned to the stand owner. “Please weigh this. I want to buy it.”
The stand owner was struck dumb for a second, because Gu Ning directly bought this raw material without observing it at all.
The woman was also surprised by Gu Ning’s confidence.
“Sure,” the stand owner said, then weighed the raw material.
After that, Gu Ning paid the bill, and left with it.
The woman walked away too, and kept on shopping for jade raw materials.
However, when she saw Gu Ning walking back to Zheng Peng, she was surprised again and walked over. “Hi, Mr. Zheng!”
Zheng Peng turned around, and his face lit up the second he saw the woman. “Oh, hi, Ms. Xue, been a while!”
“Been a while!” Ms. Xue glanced at Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. She was a little stunned by Leng Shaoting’s outstanding appearance, but soon calmed herself down. She wasn’t a young girl anymore, so she had no interest in handsome young men.
“Ms. Xue, please let me introduce Gu Ning. She’s my boss,” Zheng Peng said.
Hearing that, Xue Suxiu was shocked. She knew that the boss of Colorful Jade Provider was a young girl but she didn’t expect that the young girl was Gu Ning.
“I’m so sorry, Miss Gu. I didn’t know that you’re the boss of Colorful Jade Provider.” Xue Suxiu apologized again. She respected Gu Ning, who was a successful young businesswoman, and they had cooperation in business too.
Xue Suxiu worked in the jewelry industry, and was responsible for acquiring jade. She was one of the clients of Colorful Jade Provider.
“It’s not a big deal, Ms. Xue,” Gu Ning said.
“Boss, this is Manager Xue of XX Jewelry Company. She’s in charge of jade purchasing and also a client of our company,” Zheng Peng said to Gu Ning.
XX Jewelry Company was a famous company in the jewelry industry.
“Oh, Ms. Xue, thank you so much for purchasing jade from my company,” Gu Ning said.
“I should thank you, Miss Gu, because the jade from your company is always of high quality,” Xue Suxiu said.
“Glad to cooperate with you!” Gu Ning smiled.
“Me too!” Xue Suxiu said. “Please excuse me, I need to leave now.”
“Bye-bye,” Gu Ning said.
Before long, Gu Ning and others arrived at the factory of Colorful Jade Provider.
Those jade raw materials she just bought all had jade inside, so she planned to cut them out at the factory.
Stone-cutters were already used to cutting jade out every day, and it wasn’t surprising at all when Gu Ning came with several good jade raw materials.
They were curious why almost every piece of the raw materials in this factory had good jade inside, but they didn’t dare to ask further about it, because they had signed an agreement not to leak any information. Nevertheless, many peers in the same industry were jealous of Colorful Jade Provider.
They all wanted to find out the reason, but no workers working in this factory were willing to tell them. Actually, none of them knew the real reason.
