Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 80

Elise could accept such an outcome. After all, stone gambling was also gambling, so she had to be willing to admit defeat. “Okay. Let’s open the next piece.”The boss hurriedly asked the stone master to cut open the other piece of stone, and he didn’t forget to remind the stone master to be careful.

They didn’t expect that after it was opened, it was still just a piece of junk. Elise let out a soft sigh. Having lost another 100,000, she looked at Alexander, who just gave her a soothing look.

“It’s just a piece of stone, so it doesn’t matter. You can still look around.” Elise, on the other hand, was a little dejected. “Forget it. Let’s not waste any more money. Let’s find something fun to do.” Alexander replied, “You’re giving up this easily? It seems like you’re pretty half-hearted about this.”

Elise couldn’t quite accept this kind of judgment, so she pouted. “Maybe I just don’t have the talent.” Alexander simply reassured her, “You have to keep your cool when gambling on stones; don’t get distracted. And when choosing stones, you can decide based on multiple features, such as color and texture.

There’s even a belief that the most inconspicuous things will often produce the greatest outcome. Carry on searching with this mentality and see if you can find the stone you like.” After hearing his encouragement, Elise glanced at the stones around her. In the end, she decided to give it another try.

So, she studied the stones in the shop once again. After circling two rounds, she stopped in front of a bunch of stones near the entrance. The shop owner sighed and said, “Miss, these are the cheapest stones in our store. If you want them, I’ll sell them to you at 3,000 per piece.” By saying that those stones were the cheapest, he was implying that they were simply useless. In the eyes of experts, it was impossible for them to contain jadeite.

Regardless of whether it was in terms of their quality or color, they were the worst. Squatting down, Elise looked at two of the stones, which weren’t big nor small. They weren’t expensive anyway, as theyNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

were only priced at a few thousand, so she could just buy them for fun. “I want these two stones.” The shop owner didn’t expect that Elise would actually spend money to buy this kind of stone.

As a businessman, he still had to maintain his reputation, so he couldn’t help but remind, “Miss, the probability of this stone containing jadeite is very low—so low that it can be said to be negligible.” The owner’s meaning was obvious. The only thing left to tell Elise was that she was wasting her money by buying these stones.

Elise understood that the owner had good intentions, but she felt that these two stones weren’t that terrible, so she just bought them. After she paid, the owner didn’t say anything more. At this moment, Alexander, who was next to her, said, “Since you’ve already bought them, let’s just cut them open.”

This was Elise’s plan as well, so she requested, “Sir, I’d have to trouble your stone master to help cut these open again.” The owner understood and called the stone master over. Upon taking a glance at the two stones Elise bought, he knew that she was a novice, as she had chosen the stones with the worst quality. So, he said, “Miss, there’s a very low possibility of these two stones containing jadeite. Why don’t I just cut them open completely and save you the trouble?”

Just as Elise was about to say something, Alexander interrupted and muttered something in her ear, causing her eyes to light up. Staring at him, she asked with uncertainty, “Really?” After Alexander gave her a nod, Elise said to the stone master, “Please help me cut the stone from the right side of the back of the stone.

Cut it slowly, and be more gentle.” Seeing that Elise was unwilling to listen to his opinion, the stone master shook his head helplessly, but he still cut the stone according to her request. He cut it carefully and slowly went deeper. After cutting less than a centimeter of it, his eyes lit up. “It’s green! It’s actually green!”

Elise’s throat tightened when she heard his exclaims, and she stared fixedly at the stone, only to see that there was a light green layer underneath the originally gray stone. Although the color was rather light, the jadeite looked to be pretty high quality. The corners of Alexander’s lips curled up as he whispered, “Ice Jadeite.

You’re lucky.” Elise smiled and asked, “Is it worth a lot?” Glancing at the stones, Alexander explained, “In its natural form, it’s worth around 1 million. If it’s made into jewelry, the value will increase by several folds. But, this kind of jade is rare and has great collection value.” Elise was beside herself with joy.

“I wonder how much jadeite is in there.” She waited patiently until the piece of stone was completely cut open, revealing about 30 cm of Ice Jadeite. “Yes, this stone is indeed good,” the owner of the shop couldn’t help but exclaim. “I never thought that a rough stone like this could produce such a beautiful Ice Jadeite.” When pedestrians passing by the store heard that a jadeite was revealed, they crowded around to watch.

After learning that such a good Ice Jadeite was produced from such a rough stone, all of them went in one after another. All of a sudden, a lot of customers poured in, and the store owner was instantly busy. “What are you going to do with your jadeite?” Alexander asked. Smiling, Elise answered, “Such a huge piece of jadeite can be made into a pair of bracelets.

I can give it to Grandma as a present during her next birthday.” When Alexander heard this, he completely gave up his idea of buying the gemstone. “I know a stone processing company. They’re pretty good. I can recommend them to you.” Elise hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you, President Griffith!” Getting an Ice Jadeite placed Elise in a good mood. She then remembered what Alexander had told her. “President Griffith, do you have some sort of special vision?

How do you know that the stone I bought will definitely contain jadeite? And you even knew clearly which method to use.” Alexander just gave her a mysterious smile, but didn’t answer her question and

simply said, “That’s why I’m the master, and you’re the apprentice.” His reply rendered Elise speechless.

“However, I still have to remind you that stone gambling is based largely on luck. You can’t take it as the foundation of making a fortune and get addicted to it.” After all, there were millions of people in the world, and too many of them lost their homes and lives due to their addiction. Elise understood what he meant, so she assured him, “Don’t worry!

Unless I’m with you in the future, I definitely won’t come to such a place by myself.” Alexander was a little relieved. “That’s enough fun for the day. We should go back.” Elise nodded. “Okay.” In the afternoon, Elise and Alexander took a flight back to Cittadel. After getting off the plane, they said their goodbyes.

“President Griffith, I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you in the future.” Slightly raising his eyebrows, Alexander said, “There’ll be a chance soon. After all, my Arisian still requires your guidance.” Elise’s lips curled up into a smile. “Don’t worry, President Griffith. I’ll do my best.

After this, we’ll meet online on Mondays and Wednesdays.” As she spoke, Elise waved to Alexander. After watching him leave, she turned around and was going to leave as well, but an ID card under her feet caught her attention. She picked it up and found that it was Alexander’s, so she quickly chased after him. “President Griffith, you dropped your ID card.”

Alexander stopped walking and felt around his pocket. His ID card was indeed gone, so he accepted the card that Elise handed to him. “Thank you so much, Miss Sare!” Elise answered politely, “You’re welcome, President Griffith. Goodbye.” After Alexander left, Elise wasn’t in a hurry to leave, but took out her mobile phone instead. She just saw that Alexander’s birthday was April 6th, and today was April 3rd. His birthday is coming soon?
