“Miss, are you satisfied with this price?” Lisa came to Qiao Mei with the quotation and asked her.

“Yes,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

The truth was that Qiao Mei only expected this diamond to be worth about 70,000 to 80,000 dollars. She did not expect the price to be so good. Qiao Mei then took out the rest of the diamonds, gems and gold from her bag and asked the attendant to send them in for appraisal.

The appraisal process took even longer this time. The attendant even went out to buy some snacks and coffee for Qiao Mei and Xia He. After waiting for an hour, the attendant brought her the quotation. It added up to a total of 730,000 dollars.

“I’ve taken a look at the prices of these items. Why is the price of the ruby so low? Moreover, the clarity index of my sapphire should be very high. I don’t think your price is fair enough,” Qiao Mei said with a slight frown as she looked at the quotation.

“Alright, Miss. I’ll give the appraisers your questions.” Lisa wrote down Qiao Mei’s doubts in a notebook and sent the piece of paper into the room.

The appraisers in the room discussed Qiao Mei’s queries about the unfair pricing. They wrote down the flaws of the jewelry and the reason for the prices they quoted. Lisa brought the piece of paper over and handed it to Qiao Mei.

“Our appraisers feel that 730,000 dollars is a reasonable amount. You can look at their reasons,” Lisa said.

It was written on the piece of paper that although the cut of the ruby was perfect, there was a chip in the corner. The chip was almost invisible to the naked eye, but when they looked at it under the machine, the ruby’s defect was completely exposed. It was the same issue with the sapphire.

Qiao Mei shook her head regretfully. It was probably because the original owners of these jewelry did not wrap them up properly and simply stuffed them all into the box in order to escape quickly. It was inevitable that the jewelry would get damaged.

“Alright, I accept the price. How will you pay me this sum of money?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Our internal department can write you a check and you can use this check to go to the bank to encash the money. Otherwise, you can give us an account number. We can transfer all the money into this account so that you can withdraw the money whenever you want,” Lisa said thoughtfully.

“Alright, I need 10,000 dollars in cash now. You can transfer the rest of the money to the account as you suggested,” Qiao Mei said in satisfaction.

Based on the rules, there was an appraisal fee of 100 dollars for each piece of jewelry. Qiao Mei had brought a total of 14 pieces of jewelry and had to pay 1,400 dollars. Lisa’s service fee was 0.1% of the total price of the jewelry, which was 730 dollars.

This place did not see many customers every month. After all, rich businessmen liked to buy, rather than sell, jewelry. The staff here drew a monthly salary of only 400 dollars. Based on their performance, they could earn about 800 dollars a month. It was already considered a relatively high-paying job, but they may not be able to make a sale every month.

Some rich businessmen liked to look for the service staff they were familiar with. The reason why those other service staff looked down on Qiao Mei was because they had enough regular clients to make a living. Moreover, Qiao Mei did not look like she would become a regular customer, so none of them was willing to waste time on her.

Lisa was a new staff member. She had to work hard to serve every client, new or old, and she took everyone seriously.

Qiao Mei took out 1,000 dollars from her bag and handed it to Lisa in front of all the other service staff. “This is your reward,” she said.

“Miss, this is really too much. I can’t accept it. I just need to get the stated amount,” Lisa said in a panic.

“It’s alright, I think you’ve earned this amount.” Qiao Mei stuffed the money into Lisa’s hand and left the jewelry trading center with Xia He.

Qiao Mei and Xia He took a slow walk home. When Xia He walked to the main street earlier, she looked dejected and did not have any self-confidence. As she walked down the main street now, her back was straight and she strode forward with big steps. She even wanted to visit all the shops on the street and buy everything she liked!

After they reached home, Xia He did not rush to ask Qiao Mei about the jewelry. In the dead of the night, Xia He quietly entered Qiao Mei t s bedroom. She came to Qiao Mei’s bed and said, “You should tell me the truth now! What was that during the day!’

“Lower your voice. Someone outside might hear you,” Qiao Mei whispered.

“What do you mean? Do you suspect that any of those women are not loyal?”

Xia He asked..
