Chapter 1337: Snatching Business Right at the Doorstep
So, he truly made up his mind this time and quoted a price she deemed astronomical.
An Hao turned to glance at Qin Jian, who also gently shook his head. With a bit more certainty in her heart, she said, "Store owner, I am not very satisfied with the price you’ve quoted. I think I’ll try another store."
It was then that Xiaozhu from Baozhen Jade Store, who had chatted with An Hao before, walked into the store and said to An Hao with a smile, "Wow, what a coincidence! You’re here! Oh right, our store owner is back. Weren’t you looking for her several times? She has finally returned."
An Hao smiled slightly, "Your timing couldn’t be better! I’ll go find her right now."
No sooner had she finished speaking than An Hao and Qin Jian left the Jade Store.
As they left, the owner of that Jade Store was so enraged that he thumped his chest and stamped his feet, "Ancestors! Go tell your store owner, it’s not right to do business this way, to come all the way to poach customers."
Xiaozhu cheerfully took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, drew one out, and handed it to the Jade Store owner, "You’re not being very righteous here! Didn’t we have an agreement? If any ordinary jade came in, our owner would refer all the business to you. But, once this jade bracelet appeared, you were supposed to notify our owner, right? What happened then? Our owner has referred quite a bit of business to you, but you? It seems you were planning to double-cross, huh?"
"You can’t blame me for that... That bracelet indeed is a fine piece of jade. Who wouldn’t be tempted by it? Moreover, that young woman came to our Jade Store first. That bracelet should have been mine by all rights. If it weren’t for your boss suddenly showing up, would she have been able to claim that bracelet?" the store owner said.
