Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 100

Basically, a customer taking part in a jade bet would choose unopened rocks to bet on. They would make a profit if the piece of jade inside the rock turned out to be good or suffer a huge loss if it turned out to be a bust.

Running into an event like that by chance, Wilbur thought he might as well give it a try.

The shop owner welcomed him into the store warmly, leading Wilbur right to the back of the shop.

The backyard was around three to four hundred square meters wide. It was filled with rocks of all shapes and sizes.

These rocks were all tagged with different prices. The lowest prices started at around 100 thousand dollars and went all the way up to over five million dollars.

There was a large number of people in the backyard looking around when he arrived. They all seemed to be pretty well-informed, murmuring amongst themselves over which rocks looked like a better choice.

Wilbur, a complete outsider, did not see any difference in the rocks apart from their sizes.

However, there were two things he had that gave him an advantage over the others—his spirit energy, and skills.

He took a quick glance at the rocks, then took a seat on a nearby chair.

A server wearing long robes served him a cup of tea.

The people who took part in jade bets were usually rather well-to-do, and the shop owner knew that very well.

That was why the shop was well-furnished, and the service was top-notched as well.

Wilbur did not check out the rocks upon sitting down. Instead, he took out his phone and began to read up on jade.

It was because he knew almost nothing about what he was getting into, thus he wanted to get a better understanding.

Half an hour later, the backyard was packed with over 30 people.

The shop owner came out with a bright smile on his face as he waved at everyone.

The crowd greeted him back, save for Wilbur, who was still on his phone.

The shop owner was a man in his fifties with a surprising amount of gusto of spirit. He looked at the crowd around him, then landed his gaze on Wilbur, who seemed to be grossly out of place.

He walked up to Wilbur with an outstretched hand and greeted him, "Young man, I haven't seen you here before!"

The only one that contained a jade was only of average quality, barely covering the price paid for the rock.

Wilbur saw an empty spot in the line and called out to the shop owner as he pointed at the rock he had chosen earlier, "Sir, this one, please."

The shop owner hurried over. "Good choice, young man! I'll get to it right away."

Just then, another voice cut through the air, "Boss, I'll take that piece."

Wilbur turned to see a middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth. On his arm was a beautiful young woman.

The shop owner smiled awkwardly. "Uhm… Sirs, I'm afraid this will be quite a situation."

"What's the problem?" The middle-aged man frowned.

The shop owner hurried to say, "We have a rule here stating that if two people choose the same rock, they'll have to bid for it."

"Ha! Sure thing! Do you think that I, Kenji Lilith, would be afraid of a bid?" The middle-aged man sneered.
