103: It's clearly giving money, so why is it being punished?

"Beauty, you tell me, what should we do?"

Inside the jade shop.

A middle-aged man, around forty.

He looked like a ruffian, wearing a floral shirt.

He pointed at the fragments on the floor.

He asked angrily.

Su Youlan was so scared, her hands were trembling.

After attending the rehearsal today.

Her task was temporarily completed.

Only tomorrow's final performance remained.

She went shopping with her little assistant.

She saw a jade pendant she liked and asked the shop owner to hand it to her to try on.

Unexpectedly.

During the transfer.

The shop owner let go.

She didn't catch it.

The jade pendant fell to the ground.

It shattered into pieces.

Su Youlan swore.

She really didn't do it on purpose.

The jade had slipped from her grasp before she even had it in her hand.

"Boss... I hadn't even received it, and you let go."

"This... shouldn't be my fault, right?"

The man in the floral shirt glared.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you saying I deliberately tried to trick you?"

"Go ask around, what kind of person am I?"

"Would I trick you?"

The little assistant, Tingting, shrank back in fear.

She didn't dare to say a word.

Su Youlan bravely said.

"No matter what, you also bear some responsibility for this matter."

"Tell me, how much is this jade worth?"

"I can bear half."

The man in the floral shirt's eyes darted.

He pinched his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Alright, half it is."

"This pendant of mine is a top-grade jade, with a total value of 4 million."

"Just give me 2 million, and that's fine."

Su Youlan was startled.

"2 million?"

"Are you robbing me?"

The man in the floral shirt slammed the table.

Bang!

The teacups on the table were jolted into the air.

"What do you mean?"

"Is 2 million a lot? Not asking for 5 million is already being very polite."

Su Youlan knew.

She must have encountered a shady shop today.

She grabbed her little assistant and turned to leave.

But she was stopped by the man in the floral shirt.

"Trying to leave?"

"Without 2 million, you can't go anywhere!"

A person at the doorway parted the onlookers.

He pushed aside the man in the floral shirt.

"What do you want to do?"

"Are you trying to restrict personal freedom?"

The man in the floral shirt was easily pushed aside by the other party.

He felt very humiliated.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you be so arrogant with me?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"I'm just a tourist, what?"

"Are you trying to threaten me, or extort me?"

Su Youlan recognized Chen Yang.

An excited expression appeared on her face.

"Thank you!"

Chen Yang waved his hand.

"Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."

Su Youlan nodded gently.

A warm current rose in her heart.

At this moment.

Liu Sisi, Lilac, and others also squeezed into the shop.

They softly comforted Su Youlan.

The man in the floral shirt saw that many people had arrived.

He felt a little nervous.

But he didn't back down verbally.

"Young man, my item was broken by her."

"I'm only asking her to pay half, isn't that reasonable?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Are you sure your item was broken by her?"

"Are you sure your item is worth 4 million?"

The man in the floral shirt put on a brave front.

He raised his head and said loudly:

"Of course... I'm sure!"

Chen Yang pretended to take out his phone to make a call.

"Alright then, since you're so sure, let's call the police."

"Your shop should also have surveillance, let's have the police take a look."

"Was this jade broken by you, or by her?"

The man in the floral shirt glanced at the surveillance camera.

He felt a little regretful.

He should have turned off the camera earlier.

"Of course it was broken by her, how could I break it?"

Chen Yang was very calm.

"Alright then, we'll let the police decide."

"Perhaps this isn't the first time jade has been broken in your shop..."

At this,.

The man in the floral shirt really panicked.

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

Chen Yang glanced at the display items in the shop.

There were actually dozens of fully gambled raw stones.

"Boss, let's both take a step back, we won't compensate for the jade."

"But..."

"We can buy a few more raw stones from your shop."

"It can also be considered helping you attract some business."

"What do you think?"

The man in the floral shirt was looking for a way out.

Chen Yang's words came at the right time.

His eyes darted.

A shrewd look flashed through them.

"That works too, but you must buy a few more."

Chen Yang agreed with a smile.

He then asked the women around him if they wanted to buy some.

Lilac tugged at him, hinting not to fall for it.

Chen Yang shook his head slightly.

"It's fine, just buy a few, we won't lose much."

Finally.

All the women agreed to buy a few.

Even Xiaoyue and Su Youlan's little assistant, Tingting.

Wanted to buy one to try their luck.

Chen Yang picked a few randomly from the shelf.

Then shook his head.

"Boss, there are too few raw stones here, not enough to choose from, do you have any more in stock?"

The man in the floral shirt grinned broadly.

The more they bought, the more he earned.

"Yes, there are more in the backyard, I'll take you there."

The storeroom in the backyard.

Still had over a hundred raw stones.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect.

This bad guy was hiding raw stones of quite high quality.

He walked casually around a pile of stones.

He picked three raw stones for Su Youlan, costing 180,000.

He picked one for Liu Sisi, costing 50,000.

He picked three for Lilac, costing 210,000.

He picked one for Xiaoyue, costing 3,000.

He picked one for Tingting, costing 4,000.

Finally.

He also picked five raw stones for himself, costing 450,000.

The man in the floral shirt was smiling so much his mouth was crooked.

This guy.

Was completely foolish with his money.

Buying raw stones was like picking watermelons.

He just glanced at them casually.

And bought over 800,000 worth.

The customer is king.

Of course, he had to provide enthusiastic service.

"Sir, you've bought so many raw stones, it's inconvenient to carry them."

"My shop has a stone cutting machine, would you like to cut the stones on the spot?"

The women were about to say yes.

But Chen Yang interrupted.

"No, we're short on time today, we'll transport them back and cut them tomorrow when we have time."

The man in the floral shirt was a little disappointed.

"Alright, we have specialized delivery and stone cutting services here."

"I'll find someone to deliver them for you."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the delivery fee."

Chen Yang smiled.

"Alright, boss is generous, may your business prosper!"

Soon.

The delivery man pulled a cart to help Chen Yang transport the goods.

They turned a corner.

And walked over 200 meters.

Chen Yang led the women into a shop specializing in stone cutting.

Liu Sisi was full of confusion.

"Chen Yang, that boss just now was clearly trying to extort us."

"Why didn't you call the police, and instead bought his stones?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"What's the use of calling the police? Arrest him?"

"It doesn't amount to a criminal offense, so it won't affect him much."

"But."

"If I buy his stones, that's different."

Liu Sisi was puzzled.

"How is it different?"

"Giving him money is his punishment?"

"Then give me some money, punish me!"

Chen Yang didn't answer but asked instead.

"Do you know why I didn't cut the stones in his shop?"

The women shook their heads.

"Why?"
