Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 80
Elise could accept such an outcome. After all, stone gambling was also gambling, so she had to bewilling to admit defeat. “Okay. Let's open the next piece.” Get new chapters update on noveljar.comThe boss hurriedly asked the stone master to cut open the other piece of stone, and he didn't forgetto 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 replace 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 thetalent.” 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 ascolor 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 replace the stone you like.” After hearing hisencouragement, Elise glanced at the stones around her. In the end, she decided to give it anothertry.
So, she studied the stones in the shop once again. After circling two rounds, she stopped in front ofa bunch of stones near the entrance. The shop owner sighed and said, “Miss, these are the cheapeststones in our store. If you want them, I'll sell them to you at 3,000 per piece.” By saying that thosestones were the cheapest, he was implying that they were simply useless. In the eyes of experts, itwas impossible for them to contain jadeite. Get new chapters update on noveljar.com
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, asthey were only priced at a few thousand, so she could just buy them for fun. “I want these twostones.” The shop owner didn't expect that Elise would actually spend money to buy this kind ofstone.
As a businessman, he still had to maintain his reputation, so he couldn't help but remind, “Miss, theprobability 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 hermoney by buying these stones.
Elise understood that the owner had good intentions, but she felt that these two stones weren't thatterrible, so she just bought them. After she paid, the owner didn't say anything more. At thismoment, Alexander, who was next to her, said, “Since you've already bought them, let's just cutthem open.”
This was Elise’s plan as well, so she requested, “Sir, I'd have to trouble your stone master to help cutthese open again.” The owner understood and called the stone master over. Upon taking a glanceat the two stones Elise bought, he knew that she was a novice, as she had chosen the stones withthe worst quality. So, he said, “Miss, there's a very low possibility of these two stones containingjadeite. 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 Alexandergave her a nod, Elise said to the stone master, “Please help me cut the stone from the right side ofthe back of the stone.
Cut it slowly, and be more gentle.” Seeing that Elise was unwilling to listen to his opinion, the stonemaster shook his head helplessly, but he still cut the stone according to her request. He cut itcarefully 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 seethat there was a light green layer underneath the originally gray stone. Although the color wasrather light, the jadeite looked to be pretty high quality. The corners of Alexander's lips curled up ashe 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 byseveral folds. But, this kind of jade is rare and has great collection value.” Elise was beside herselfwith joy.
“I wonder how much jadeite is in there.” She waited patiently until the piece of stone wascompletely cut open, revealing about 30 cm of Ice Jadeite. “Yes, this stone is indeed good,” theowner of the shop couldn't help but exclaim. “I never thought that a rough stone like this couldproduce such a beautiful Ice Jadeite.” When pedestrians passing by the store heard that a jadeitewas revealed, they crowded around to watch.
After learning that such a good Ice Jadeite was produced from such a rough stone, all of them wentin one after another. All of a sudden, a lot of customers poured in, and the store owner was instantlybusy. “What are you going to do with your jadeite?” Alexander asked. Smiling, Elise answered, “Sucha 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, hecompletely gave up his idea of buying the gemstone. “I know a stone processing company. They'repretty good. I can recommend them to you.” Elise hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you, PresidentGriffith!” Getting an Ice Jadeite placed Elise in a good mood. She then remembered what Alexanderhad 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 clearlywhich method to use.” Alexander just gave her a mysterious smile, but didn't answer her questionand simply said, “That's why I'm the master, and you're the apprentice.” His reply rendered Elisespeechless.
"However, I still have to remind you that stone gambling is based largely on luck. You can't take it asthe foundation of making a fortune and get addicted to it.” After all, there were millions of people inthe world, and too many of them lost their homes and lives due to their addiction. Elise understoodwhat 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 alittle relieved. “That's enough fun for the day. We should go back.” Elise nodded. “Okay.” In theafternoon, Elise and Alexander took a flight back to Cittadel. After getting off the plane, they saidtheir goodbyes.
“President Griffith, I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you in the future.” Slightlyraising his eyebrows, Alexander said, “There'll be a chance soon. After all, my Arisian still requiresyour 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 underher feet caught her attention. She picked it up and found that it was Alexander's, so she quicklychased 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 acceptedthe card that Elise handed to him. “Thank you so much, Miss Sare!” Elise answered politely, “You'rewelcome, President Griffith. Goodbye.” After Alexander left, Elise wasn't in a hurry to leave, but tookout her mobile phone instead. She just saw that Alexander's birthday was April 6th, and today wasApril 3rd.
