Chapter 657 - 656 Lost Jewelry
The jewelry store was called Ruili. It ranked among the top three most prestigious jewelry brands in Ao City. According to some unreliable sources from the outside, Ruili’s annual sales in Ao City alone amounted to no less than ten ’small targets.’
Unlike precious metals, jewelry has a very high markup and profit margins are extremely large.
In short, this was a very, very profitable jewelry store.
As the manager of Ruili, La Shiran had run it well and naturally had reaped both fame and fortune.
...
As the two just stepped into Ruili’s main entrance, a group of people came to greet them.
Looking at their clothes and attire, most of them seemed to be Ruili’s staff intermingled with a mother-daughter pair.
The older one looked to be about fifty years old, and despite being decked in jewels, she exuded a disharmonious vibe as if her lowly origins showed through despite her fancy attire.
The younger woman by her side was similar; despite her youth, she had a certain tacky opulence about her as if she was trying too hard with her appearance.
Could this pair of ’ladies’ be professional thieves in disguise?
