Chapter 268: The Fault-Finding Guh Siqing (4)
Nanjin, by nature, was a somewhat mysterious place. Its power reigned alone, rarely interacting with the major families within the country. The Nanjin Duan Family’s status there was comparable to that of the Gu Family in Xuandu City—the absolute Boss. The Duan Family specialized in jadeite and had many good relations with Country Fei; their power and wealth were unimaginable!
Guh Siqing found herself in a difficult position, with her face growing exceedingly ugly. She hadn’t expected the Jade Stone Association to even attract the Nanjin Duan Family this time! If today’s events got out, Old Master Guh would certainly hold her accountable... When she thought of Guh Tian’s method of punishing family members, a chill inevitably ran down her spine.
Standing silently to the side, Guh Siqi could not help but reveal a mischievous smirk of schadenfreude at the sight of Guh Siqing’s flushed face.
In the middle of the Guh Family’s dilemma of whether to stay or leave, Liao Jinglin spoke up.
"Elder Duan, please calm your anger. Although Xuanjin Yu Jade might be of little influence and holds little sway, we still understand the simple principle of abiding by the rules. This piece of Spring Colored Jade will still go to the highest bidder!" Liao Jinglin’s words not only allowed the Duan Family to save face, but also left Guh Siqing with no place to put her own, glaring hatefully at Liao Jinglin before leaving with her chin up in arrogance.
After Guh Siqing and her group left, the atmosphere on-site regained its vitality. After a fierce round of bidding, the Duan Family ultimately brought home the old pit Glass Type Spring with Color jade for the price of 180 million!
After selling all the pieces of jadeite, Liao Jinglin had made a substantial profit. The raw materials that were bought for 10 million not only all increased in value but also sold for ten times the purchase price. This rapid surge in fame for Xuanjin Yu Jade and Liao Jinglin swept through the entirety of Xuandu City as well as Xuanjin—it was indeed the outcome An Yiqing had been aiming for.
Having finished processing the raw stones for Liao Jinglin, An Yiqing left the Stone-Cutting Area with Zhang Yuksheng to head for the selection area.
The successive increases in value of Liao Jinglin’s jadeite had lifted everyone’s spirits, and they enthusiastically began selecting their raw materials in the purchasing area, with the Xuanjin Currency flowing liberally from their bank cards into the vendors’ pockets.
