Nadeem City had an antique market. During the past year, the Yuriel Group's antique restoration project was so hot and sparked nationwide interest in antique search. The elderly with nothing to do would come to the antique market and shop. If they found any treasure, they would bring it to the Yuriel Group's specially set-up appraisal office. They could earn some money for retirement if they struck gold. Previously, an elderly man bought a broken jade pendant for fifty dollars and sent it to the appraisal office. The Yuriel Group accepted it. As a result, he earned half a million!This was much more exciting than buying a lottery ticket!After the news came out, the antique market became more popular. Coupled with the elderly's word-of-mouth marketing, more and more people crowded the antique market. There were more buyers, so the number of stalls increased as well.The middle-aged ladies had a new hobby other than gathering together to dance. Now, they gathered together to identi
Sage deliberately brought Henry and Zachary to shop at the antique market for a reason. She wanted to teach them a few tricks and how to deal with people. They worked with jewelry and jade all day. How could they not know how to work on this? Unfortunately, these two brats were completely uninterested and almost ruined her bargains. She was so angry and chased them half a street.Jace smiled softly. "Don't mind them. They're still kids.""They're already in their twenties. How are they still kids?"Sage said, "When you're their age, you're already working in the Yuriel Group as a marketing manager. Besides, you've worked your way up from the bottom."Jace did not become the president of Yuriel Group right away. Instead, he worked his way up from the bottom and dealt with every department.Sage learned this after joining the Yuriel Group. Jace was better than her on this. After all, you would need real experience from the ground up to understand the difficulties of roles or departm
Jace's temperament was not the only thing stopping him from keeping a low profile. He was well-known in Nadeem City. It did not take long for someone to recognize him."You must be Mister Jace from the Yuriel family, right?"A stall recognized him and said happily, "Come and look at my side! I have all the good stuff here!""It's Mister Jace! Hey! I didn't expect to meet him in person."One man greeted Jace enthusiastically and acted exaggeratingly. "Look at my stall! If you see anything you like, just take it with no charge!"Someone next to him called him out."Howl Crawford, your stall is full of fakes. How dare you show them to Mister Jace? Don't dirty the important guest's eyes.""Get lost! What fakes? I got all these from all around the world! They're treasures! I don't know if they're fake or real, but they're certainly good things!"The stall vendor was a young man in an ordinary plaid shirt and scruffy jeans. He looked like he did not wash his clothes in a long time.
"Howl, do you know why your business is so bad now? Your asking price is too high."The owner of the next stall that mocked him earlier continued to belittle him. "I've told you to set your prices lower. Aren't you embarrassing yourself in front of Mister Jace now?"The young stall owner Howl refuted, "I've told you before. Everything in my stall is a treasure. They aren't cheap. I'd feel bad if I sell them too low." Jace wore a soft smile and turned his head to look at Sage. "Is there anything else you want?"Sage said, "I want them all." Her tone was light.Jace nodded and turned to Howl, "Mr. Howl, please wrap them all up for me at the price you quoted earlier."Howl was stunned in silence, and so was everyone else. Everyone around was dumbfounded.Someone quickly calculated mentally, "All these combined are almost half a million dollars, right?""Four hundred and seventy-six thousand dollars. Let's round it up to four hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The remainder will
Jace looked at Sage's possessiveness over the fan and laughed."Alright, alright. It's yours. It's all yours."His dark eyes dazzled in the daylight. It reminded her of the black pebbles in a clear river. He smiled softly. "I'm yours too."Sage's face flushed red in silence. What was wrong with Jace? How could he casually say such shameless and flirtatious words without even thinking?!The cell phone rang at the right time. It was Zachary who called. He said he found a good restaurant and the food was on the table, so they should hurry over.""Okay. We'll be right there," Jace ended the call and told Sage, "let's go and eat. Aren't you hungry? Have more food later."Sage was a little distracted. "I'd rather see the treasures I just bought than eat."Jace's eyes flickered. "Shall we…"Sage urged, "Let's go! Quick!" She ran impatiently. Jace looked at her excitement and let out a muffled laugh. He smiled again.Sage turned her head to him and urged, "Hurry up! First come, firs
Mendoza's soul almost flew out. His hand trembled and placed the chess piece in the wrong place. Sawyer caught the chance and shouted, "Checkmate!"As a result, Mendoza lost the game. He was so angry he glared at Jace and Sage. "What’s with the big fuss?!"Jace realized they disturbed the elder's resting time, so he quickly apologized on Sage's behalf. He went over to smooth Mendoza's back and let him catch his breath.Primrose woke up from her dream too. She looked upset and narrowed her eyes at Sage. "Are you high on drugs?""Something like that." Sage said to Wayne happily, "Grandpa, we found a few things today. Can you see if you can fix them?"Wayne lay in his seat lazily and did not move. "Show them to me." Sage told Henry and Zachary to bring out a table. She placed all the things they bought on the table, including the big fan with the jade handle.After she displayed everything, the looks on Wayne, Mendoza, and Sawyer's faces changed. They all got up and walked over
Jace listened to the call with a grim face. He received the same news as well.Sage went online and saw that someone indeed called her out as a divorcee. It was not very popular yet, but it was on the top search list. It was clear that someone bought the hot search.However, the article on the hot search's content was directed at something else. They talked about Norah Jewel's new diamond ring series—Unwavering. The article discredited the product value and positioning.Jace ordered Zayne in a stern voice, "Have someone take down the hot search and find out who's behind it."Sawyer and Primrose noticed something was wrong and asked, "What’s wrong? What happened?"Sage did not look up and continued browsing those marketing posts. She said, "Someone posted about my divorce on the internet."Jace looked at her with a concerned look. She sounded indifferent. It was like she did not take it too seriously.Primrose said, "Hey, what's the big deal? Is divorce such a big deal these days
Sage clicked into the article and saw the post about Golding Shiny Jewelry's newly launched products. The more she looked at it, the familiar it was. Her eyes turned cold. "Look. Don't these look familiar?"Primrose went over to take a look. "Isn't this the new diamond ring Leah designed?""Yeah. It looks almost the same."Sage sneered. "He deliberated smeared my reputation and dared to copy our products! He's asking for trouble! I'll teach him a lesson!"'Who doesn't know how to buy the hot search?' Sage thought. After that, she used the power of money and got the tag line, Golding Shiny Jewelry plagiarism, trending quickly, along with a letter from Norah Jewel's lawyer.Norah Jewel was not the only one who issued a statement. Several other jewelry companies also sued Golding Shiny Jewelry for not paying its debts and lacking business cooperation. Dave had a messy private life and kept a mistress outside. The news came one after another, putting Golding Shiny Jewelry and Dave in
