The boss said mysteriously, “It looks good, doesn’t it? I’m sure that this is definitely the most beautiful jade among all the jades. If you hadn’t come, it might even be the treasure of the shop in the future. These three are imperial jade, purple glass jade, and the top-grade red glass jade that I specially bought at a high price.
“Naturally there is a huge price difference between these and other types of jade. There’s a difference of about 50 million to 200 million. If you want, we can carry out the transaction now. I only showed you these good things because we’re from the same hometown. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t display them all at once.”
Lu Ming stared intently at the red bracelet made of top-grade glass jade. In fact, the moment he saw it, he subconsciously thought of Little Yu’s hair color. After getting the boss’s permission, he carefully took it out and looked at it under the light. It was like a burning flame!
Even if he didn’t know much, he knew that this bracelet was the most expensive among the three! It was really beautiful!
“I want it!”
Just as Lu Ming was about to say something, a voice from the door interrupted his thoughts. He instinctively looked up and saw a rich second-generation heir dressed in branded clothes. Hugging a sexy woman, he said, “Old Wu, why didn’t you tell me about such a good thing? If I didn’t come out to shop today, I’m afraid I would never know that you have top-notch good stuff hidden here, right?”
The shopkeeper’s heart skipped a beat. Why did this ancestor come here? He maintained his composure and said, “Young Master Dude, what are you talking about? This thing was just shipped here at midnight. I didn’t have the time to tell you, but it’s first come, first served. This gentleman is the first to see it. If he doesn’t buy it, it’s not impossible for you to consider it…”
“Heh, when did I fall so low that I have to pick up things that others don’t want?”
Dude sneered and said, “I think you’re tired of living on this island. Do you think this person can afford this? Tell me, how much does this bracelet cost?”
“… Two hundred and fifty million,” the boss said helplessly.
He was just an ordinary person. How could he offend this little ancestor? On this island, if the Guo family represented money, then Dude’s family represented power! If he dared to be rude, he would not be able to survive here!
This price made Dude’s heart ache, but the female companion beside him acted as if she did not notice her sugar daddy’s thoughts at all. She said proudly, “Then I’ll take it! Young Master Dude, just buy it for me. Previously, you bought so many luxury goods for my sisters. I’ve accompanied you for almost half a year. Aren’t you going to buy something to reward me?”
She looked at Lu Ming in disdain and said, “No matter how rich this person is, how can he have more money than Young Master Dude? Look, this set of clothes is outdated. I would rather throw it in the trash than wear it. When did the requirements for entering Justice Island become so low? I feel like the air has been polluted by you! So do you understand the gap between us? Give me the bracelet!”
When Dude heard his little lover’s flattering words, he felt proud again. However, his heart still ached a little. It was not that he could not afford this bit of money, but it was really a little overkill to use it to coax his little lover. The female companions he bought previously only added up to a hundred million!
However, he could not say that he would not buy it in public. If word got out, everyone would laugh at him behind his back!
Seeing that the two of them insisted on buying this jade bracelet, the boss reminded Lu Ming in a low voice, “It’s best if you don’t offend this Young Master Dude. His family has a close relationship with the government. If you want to get out of here alive, you should give up. It’s not worth it to spend a lot of money on an accessory.”
“I’ll take it.”
Lu Ming smiled.
The shopkeeper choked. He thought the young man in front of him was smart, but he didn’t expect him to be so impulsive. He didn’t want his fellow countryman to die, but he had said what he had to say. What else could he do? If he wanted to die, he couldn’t stop him, especially not right under Dude’s nose.
As expected, Dude’s gaze instantly became sharp. He said, “Kid, are you so bored that you want to find trouble? My uncle is the Chief Councilor of the city government! He has great power. Are you sure you want to go against me? Even if you die without an intact corpse?”
Lu Ming’s smile did not fade. He said, “The number of people I’ve offended in my life is enough to circle around Justice Island several times. So many people can’t beat me. Do you think you can do it? He’s just the Chief Councilor. I’m not afraid even if the most powerful person here comes!”
After all, how could he be more highly ranked than the President?
Unfortunately, the others mistook his words for posturing. Dude and his female companion laughed even harder. The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed in his heart. Why is there something wrong with this young man’s brain? The scale in his heart gradually tilted. Could such a person really afford to pay more than 200 million?
When the tour guide in charge of Lu Ming saw this situation, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. If these people knew Lu Ming’s true identity, would they still smile so happily? He hoped that the new president had a good temper. Otherwise, the Dude Family would not have a good time.
At the thought of this, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes. However, Dude deserved it. As the President, Mr. Lu did not use his special privileges, but this person was provoking him. He quietly took out his phone and sent a message to the Grand Secretary. The most important thing now was to protect Mr. Lu. If he was injured later, he would have to bear most of the responsibility!
Dude, who was not far away, held his stomach and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He said, “Hahahaha! Interesting! Which mental hospital did you come from? He’s just the Chief Councilor? This is a position that ordinary people can’t reach in their entire lives! Who do you think you are?”
“That’s right! Young Master Dude, I haven’t seen such an arrogant person in a long time. I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected gain just by coming out to have fun! You have to help me get that bracelet. This way, I can show off to my friends. Otherwise, they will always say that I’m poor and don’t deserve to be with you.”
These words aroused Dude’s pity for her, and immediately, he was determined to get the bracelet! He said impatiently, “Alright, let’s end the farce here. I can’t be bothered to know who you are. Hurry up and give me the bracelet, or else you will have to get on your knees even if you’re the President!”
Oh! How did he guess Mr. Lu’s identity? The tour guide tried to give the other party some hints through eye contact.
