Chapter 389: Chapter 388 Collecting Some Interest

"We’ve set our sights on a major task, but before we tackle that, why don’t we pay a visit to an old friend? They’ve played so many dirty tricks, we should collect a little interest first, right?" Lin Tian said with a smile as he looked at the Bai Family’s Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing his smile, Xiao Manxue knew someone was in for bad luck. She asked curiously, "Whose interest do you plan to collect?"

"Come on, let’s go to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion and see what treasures the Bai Family boasts to dare calling it such," Lin Tian said, shifting his gaze away and then turning to head downstairs.

Although the Miss was not in favor of using dirty tricks, the Bai Family had repeatedly targeted the Xiao Family, which upset her. Besides, when Lin Tian set his mind to something, not even ten bulls could pull him back, so she could only follow.

Although it was lunchtime, the number of pedestrians on Jewelry Street had not decreased. Hunger and the direct noon sunlight simply couldn’t suppress women’s enthusiasm for jewelry—they could skip a meal, but not a jewelry purchase.

The Spiritual Treasure Pavilion across the street seemed quite popular. In the two minutes that Lin Tian observed, several groups of people had come and gone.

"Miss, there are quite a few customers at the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion," Lin Tian remarked.

"The Bai Family’s jewelry is a well-established brand, and their products are truly not bad. They sit on such great resources—reaching this level of business is no surprise, quite reasonable," Xiao Manxue appraised objectively.

She didn’t belittle the Bai Family. Clear-headed, she wasn’t the foolish type to blindly disparage her opponents.

"It won’t be long before Tianxue Jewelry surpasses Bai Family’s jewelry," Lin Tian said, then confidently crossed the street and naturally entered the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

The decor of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was clearly different from that of Tianxue Jewelry—going for a modern fashion vibe, whereas Tianxue Jewelry embraced a classic style. Each had its merits.

At the moment, many customers were selecting jewelry at the counters, where not only jade was on offer but also diamonds and other gemstones.

However, the jade section was the most crowded, with several fashionably-dressed wealthy women gathered around the display cabinet discussing a necklace on the table.

Lin Tian headed straight for the jade section. Xiao Manxue and Su Qingqing walked on either side of him. This handsome man and beautiful women trio immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store upon entering.

With the Miss’s beauty that could cause calamity, her tall and exquisite figure, and her outstanding temperament, she outshone the jewelry in the display cases. Even though she was dressed casually today, her radiance still overshadowed the store’s glittering treasures.

"Who is that woman? Look at her face, skin, figure, and temperament; she’s just impeccable," a wealthy woman couldn’t help commenting.

Even women were drawn to the Miss, let alone the male customers who accompanied female shoppers. From the pot-bellied middle-aged men to the young playboys surrounded by women, all were captivated by the Miss’s charm for a moment.

"The other woman is quite beautiful too—youthful, pretty, and delicate. Truly a rare pair of supreme beauties," another woman chimed in.

"Who is that man? He’s accompanied by two beauties, but why does he look a bit like a student in his outfit? That must be a school uniform," another woman said.

"Who cares if he’s a student? But the guy is really handsome. It’s even better if he is a student—a fresh young hunk."

"There you go flirting again. Is it because your old man can’t satisfy you, honestly?"

"So what if it’s true? Humph, his body’s been hollowed out by booze and cigarettes, a complete waste—he’s not even as strong as I am. And your man is no better, just the same," she retorted.

"Ah, yes, it’s really tough for us ladies,"

...

Rich ladies discussed without any reservation, and although their voices were soft, Lin Tian heard every word clearly. It was the first time he knew that being a wealthy lady could be so troublesome.

Miss also heard their discussion and her face turned slightly red. As the daughter of the Xiao Family, who lived among the wealthy, she naturally knew some of the rich people’s secrets. No matter how glamorous some of these ladies appeared, their private lives could be unimaginable, and it was not uncommon for them to keep several toy boys.

They were kept by wealthy men, living as full-time wives, doing nothing, while their men were mostly away from home, which made their lives even more boring and lonely than anyone could imagine.

Xiao Manxue shot Lin Tian a glare, this bastard attracted women wherever he went, and she really wanted to punch him in the face.

Lin Tian pretended not to notice her glare. It wasn’t his intention to hook up with these empty, lonely ladies; they were the ones who liked to gossip. Could it be wrong to be handsome?

"Sir, Miss, can I help you with anything?" The saleswoman in the jade area asked very politely.

Lin Tian just nodded and then glanced over the jade jewelry in the glass cabinet; there were necklaces, pendants, rings, and specially designed men’s jade thumb rings. Judging by design and jade carving craftsmanship, these pieces were all very pretty.

The group of women in the jade area stopped their discussion to watch Lin Tian and his companions choose jade pieces. They didn’t really understand jade; they just went by instinct, buying whatever looked nice.

They noticed the young man’s focused gaze as he selected the jade and thought he might be able to tell the quality of the jade.

Lin Tian looked over the jade in the counter. There wasn’t a single piece of top-quality jade, but there were many of medium quality, which was already enough for those who didn’t understand jade.

Moreover, the fact that the Bai Family’s store could display so many pieces of medium-quality jade also showed their strength. Ordinary jade stores would be impressive if they had just a few pieces of medium-quality jade.

But Lin Tian shook his head; even without X-ray vision, he could tell these jades were not good. Of course, he was comparing them to the best-quality jade, which he had encountered more frequently. The difference was just too great.

"Sir, are you not satisfied with the jade here?" the saleswoman asked politely after seeing Lin Tian shake his head.

Lin Tian wasn’t pretending; he genuinely found these jades unsatisfactory, spoiled by the high-quality jade he was used to.

"I’m not saying anything bad about Bai Family Jewelry, such a big brand, but why aren’t there any better jade pieces?" Lin Tian said with a disappointed look on his face, pretending to be critical, "Look at these jade bracelets. They are of the glutinous kind with blue flowers, which qualify as medium-quality jade based on their texture and color. However, it’s a pity that the patterns are chaotically scattered and rather dark."

Miss knew as soon as she heard Lin Tian’s words that he was causing trouble, no wonder he had said he would collect some interest first. But what he said was logical and well-founded. The saleswoman was taken aback and couldn’t respond. She was just a saleswoman; how could she know that much?

Just like asking a mobile phone salesperson about the brand and frequency of the CPU, it could definitely stump them. If they could distinguish between the device’s internal storage and RAM, they would already be considered impressive. In fact, they were not very professional.

Not to mention jade, which required even more complex and specialized knowledge.

The saleswoman was stunned, but the other women’s eyes lit up. The young man in front of them had pointed out the merits and flaws of the bracelets in just a few words, and they suddenly felt he must be someone who knew his jade.
