Chapter 516 What a Coincidence
Zhu Que looked at Xiao Shun curiously. Just a moment ago, he had said there were no noteworthy shops nearby, but now his attitude had completely changed.
Due to her personality, she didn’t ask further questions. She simply nodded and followed Xiao Shun into the shop.
Since it was still early, there were only a few scattered customers inside the shop. In addition, with the recent prevalence of jade forgery, jade merchants in the antique trade were not doing well these days.
Seeing the two customers who had just entered, Boss Wang Fugui’s eyes fluttered slightly. When he saw Xiao Shun’s cheap-looking attire, he frowned subconsciously and stopped the thought of getting up to greet them.
Even so, when he saw Zhu Que’s breathtaking beauty, two streaks of green light flashed in his eyes.
But that was it!
Xiao Shun stopped in front of a jade carving. With his acute senses, he could vaguely feel a faint spirit energy emanating from this jade carving.
Seeing him staring motionless at the jade carving ahead, Zhu Que asked, “What’s wrong?”
“This could be a spiritual stone!” Xiao Shun replied.
Zhu Que was shocked. A look of surprise appeared on her face.
She had heard from Xiao Shun many times how precious spirit stones were.
She didn’t expect to encounter such a rare treasure today in the messy antique market!
Just as she was marvelling at this coincidence, Xiao Shun beside her smiled at Boss Wang Fugui by the counter, “Boss, I’ll buy this jade carving.”
Clank.

What did this kid just say?
“Young man, what did you say? I didn’t hear clearly!”
As he spoke, Wang Fugui dug his ear with his finger. It seemed that it had been too long since he last cleaned his ears, and now he was hearing things.
Xiao Shun didn’t mind and smiled lightly, “I’m very interested in this jade carving. Give me a price.”
Now Wang Fugui heard it clearly. He showed a contemptuous expression as he stared at Xiao Shun, “Kid, you’re not messing with me this early in the morning, are you?”
“What do you mean by that, Boss?”
Xiao Shun frowned slightly. He didn’t care about the other’s attitude, but felt that he was just buying a jade carving. How did that become messing with him?
This early in the morning, he’d rather go back to sleep than mess with him!
“Boy, this is the shop’s treasure, called ‘Bi Cui Liu Li Shi’. The price is not something you can afford!”
Wang Fugui said condescendingly. Then he went to the jade carving, dipped a drop of water on it and flicked it onto the carving.
Then, something magical happened!
“Look, the water droplet is actually adhering to the jade carving!”
“Ignorant fellow, this is the water droplet test. The fact that the droplets condense and remain translucent and lustrous proves that this is top grade beautiful jade. As expected, Baoyu Shop lives up to its reputation.”
“Haha, I’ve long heard that Baoyu Shop is extraordinary. This shop treasure really opens my eyes today!”
A few customers not far away began to praise and acclaim Wang Fugui’s Baoyu Shop.
Wang Fugui loved vanity. After a few words of flattery, he couldn’t help feeling elated. He pointed at a pile of rubble in the distance and said nonchalantly to Xiao Shun,
“Kid, you can’t afford this liuli stone. Go take a look over there, the prices are absolutely affordable!”
Xiao Shun didn’t waste words. He gestured two fingers, “Two billion!”
“Pfft!”
Wang Fugui sprayed a whole mouthful of tea, scalded or shocked.
But he didn’t care about that. He wiped his mouth and asked tremblingly, “Young… I mean, sir! What did you just say?”
Seeing this, Xiao Shun shook his still upheld fingers and repeated, “Two billion!”
“Sorry, I have high blood pressure. Let me take some Nitroglycerin to calm down!”
Swish, Wang Fugui took out a bottle of Nitroglycerin from his pocket, poured some pills into his mouth and chewed loudly like eating candy.
Xiao Shun smiled. His income had been considerable recently, so spending two billion on this spirit energy emanating jade carving was not a loss at all.
Wang Fugui now regretted, or rather was stunned.
He never imagined that this unremarkable young man would directly offer two billion for his shop’s treasure, even more tempting than Mr. Sha’s price.
Thinking of this, Wang Fugui’s face changed again. After all, Mr. Sha was no ordinary person. If he stood him up, the old man might skin him alive.
With this thought, he was conflicted, “Sir, this item has been reserved by Mr. Sha. How about this, my shop still has some other treasures. Feel free to pick from them, I guarantee they are no worse than this liuli stone!”
Xiao Shun’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed as he asked, “Who is Mr. Sha?”
“You don’t even know Persimmon Commercial’s Chairman Sha Hai?”
Wang Fugui looked at Xiao Shun suspiciously, thinking that maybe this kid was just messing with him with that price quote.
After all, in the vast Harrow, almost no one who could afford two billion didn’t know Mr. Sha!
Hearing his explanation, Xiao Shun immediately understood that this Mr. Sha was Persimmon Commercial’s Chairman Sha Hai.
This was good, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shun smiled politely, “Please trouble the boss to introduce me to Chairman Sha. As for this jade, I’m afraid the chairman will have to reluctantly give it up.”
Hearing these words, Wang Fugui’s face changed drastically!
He was joking, right? In Harrow and even Oars, those who dared to disrespect Mr. Sha could be counted on one hand, and this kid was definitely not one of them.
After thinking for a moment, Wang had a plan. He grinned sinisterly at Xiao Shun.
“Kid, you’re not a troublemaker sent by Jade House, are you? Trying to mess up my business, Mickey Chen is really shameless using such despicable methods!”
???
Xiao Shun was utterly confused.
He hadn’t even heard of Jade House or Mickey Chen before.
But one thing was certain!
Wang Fugui’s persecutory delusion was indeed serious, and it was time for him to take medicine to relieve the condition.
“Boss, do we have some misunderstanding?”
Xiao Shun asked innocently, and also wanted to recommend Starline Health to expand the boss’s business scope.
But before he could advertise, Wang Fugui called over some thugs from outside the shop without hesitation. Cursing, he pointed at Xiao Shun,
“Damn it! Beat him to death! Let Mickey Chen see what I’m capable of!”
