Chapter 29: An Unsuccessful Publicity Stunt

Chapter 29: An Unsuccessful Publicity Stunt

In the old days, Feng Jun hated it when other people said that he was poor. After all, he broke up with his girlfriend exactly because they lacked a material base.

But now, he had experienced the adventure, and so, he didn't mind it anymore. He knew that he had a bright future ahead.

"I'm not crazy, and how much do you know about stones? This stone is very rare, and it's worth a lot," said Feng Jun.

Although he himself knew little about stones, he must be confident at this moment.

Moreover, he had a double degree, and he read many books.

No one would pick up a normal stone.

Wang Weimin was curious about the reason why Feng Jun chose this stone.

In fact, the price of a strange stone varied in different people's eyes.

The girl opened her mouth to help Wang Weimin. "Didn't you say that you don't want to sell the stone? Why do you care about its price?"

Feng Jun gave her a glare. "This stone is worth more than ten thousand yuan, and it's very rare!"

"Ridiculous!" Wang Weimin lost his patience. He took his bills back and walked outside.

When he heard the price Feng Jun set, he knew that he couldn't easily fool Feng Jun.

Even though he still didn't think the stone was worth more than ten thousand yuan, it was hard to tell.

Anyway, it was worth far more than a thousand yuan.

In Zhengyang City, Wang Weimin wasn't afraid of causing trouble because he had a rich and powerful family as his support.

However, he didn't bother to argue with Feng Jun for a stone in public.

Many people were staring at them right now, and he didn't want his family business to be affected.

"Don't you dare leave!" shouted Feng Jun to his back.

The girl also seized the chance and quietly left.

Nobody stopped them from walking outside.

"It's not over yet!" shouted Feng Jun in the crowd. "Does anyone know who he is? I can give you this stone for his name and address."

Someone said, "Hey, dude, why don't you offer cash?"

Nobody wanted a stone especially when no one knew how valuable it was. Feng Jun knew it very well, so he said, "Well, if you prefer cash over this stone, I can only give you ten thousand yuan."

Hearing that, others knew that his stone was worth more than ten thousand yuan.

Some people hesitated to make the choice between cash and the stone.

Anyway, they must figure out the man's name and address first.

As for the reward, they could make the choice afterward.

Some people went to take photos of the stone.

A middle-aged man even weighed the stone and remembered its texture.

Nobody was an idiot nowadays, and they must make sure what they might get before they took action.

Feng Jun felt annoyed and turned around to walk out.

When a woman wanted to ask him for his number, he had already disappeared.

Feng Jun didn't know how much attention this drama could get, but he hoped that social media could help him.

Most people had social media accounts, so he believed that it could become a piece of news.

However, he was wrong. Without a deliberate advertisement, the news attracted little attention on social media.

Only a few people sent out a post to a local forum of Zhengyang City.

In one post, an Internet user left several lines.

"If the owner wants to sell this stone, please call Jubao Jewel. The number is XXXX."

Feng Jun didn't pay much attention to the news, so he didn't see the comment.

This afternoon, he went to the antique street to ask for the prices of his other stones. Unfortunately, he was an unfamiliar face on the street, so no one was willing to offer him a high price.

After wasting much time on the street, Feng Jun realized that he shouldn't come here.

They were professional stone dealers, and his stones weren't good enough.

Feng Jun went back to the hotel later, and he changed his plan the next day. Instead of visiting the antique street, he went directly to the jewel stores with his broken jade box.

Some jewel stores were happy to see his broken jade box, but the prices they offered were quite different.

The lowest price was eight thousand yuan, while the highest was twelve thousand yuan.

Feng Jun didn't think there was a reasonable price.

What he didn't know was that an acquaintance noticed him through social media this early morning.

It was the girl who was good at fighting and whom he had met three times before.

Her name was Xia Xiaoyu, and she saw the news about Feng Jun's stone in her WeChat moments.

Although the video of the drama that had happened in the KFC wasn't very clear, she still recognized Feng Jun's face.

"Isn't he the man named Feng Jun in Hongjie Fitness Club?"

She was always grateful to Feng Jun because he had saved her life once before.

Even though she was brave, she was a girl after all.

Therefore, Xia Xiaoyu went to Hongjie Fitness Club and said that she wanted to see Feng Jun this afternoon.

However, nobody talked to her because she had just sent Liu Shuming to the police station.

Although many people disliked Liu Shuming in the club, they were colleagues.

In the end, Zhao Hongqi walked over and said to her, "He was fired."

Xia Xiaoyu was surprised and asked for the reason, but Zhao Hongqi told her that he didn't know it either.

She then went to see Guo Yueling, and Guo Yueling briefly explained it to her.

Xia Xiaoyu was annoyed when she found out the real reason why Feng Jun was fired. "You couldn't do that. He's my savior!"

Manager Guo said, "I don't hold a personal grudge against him, and it's our general manager's decision."

"Great, I'll go see your general manager," said Xia Xiaoyu before she left.

Zhang Weihong didn't come back to the club until 6 pm, and Xia Xiaoyu already lost her patience. She questioned Zhang Weihong in annoyance once she saw her.

However, Zhang Weihong was an experienced manager, while Xia Xiaoyu was only a student. It was very easy for Hong Jie to handle her.

She stayed calm and told Xia Xiaoyu that Feng Jun wasn't fired because of her, and it was their own business issue.

After that, she said it was Feng Jun who was unwilling to turn to Xia Xiaoyu for help.

Xia Xiaoyu felt embarrassed when she heard that.

She asked Zhang Weihong where Feng Jun was right now.

Zhang Weihong gave her a simple answer that she didn't know nor care about Feng Jun now.

Xia Xiaoyu was mad. "You didn't take me seriously. Do you want me to find a person who's more important to talk about that with you?"

Zhang Weihong was a little displeased too. "I know you're a friend of Miss Yu, but I can be honest with you. Feng Jun was fired exactly because someone wanted to please the Yu family."

A deputy leader of the Cultural and Sports Bureau of Zhengyang City always wanted to please the Yu family, so he seized the chance and fired Feng Jun for the sake of Miss Yu.

Given Zhang Weihong's influence, she actually didn't care much about a deputy leader, but she was unwilling to be involved in trouble because of Feng Jun.

Anyway, Feng Jun wasn't important in her club.

Zhang Weihong had sympathy for Feng Jun, but Feng Jun wasn't sophisticated.

If she wanted to protect him, she would have to offend a deputy leader, which wasn't something she would do.

In fact, Feng Jun should take the responsibility for the result too.

What Zhang Weihong didn't know was that Manager Guo also seized the chance to get rid of Feng Jun.

Xia Xiaoyu couldn't fully understand what had happened, but she had to admit that Zhang Weihong's words made sense.

She thought for a while and said, "Alright, I know you're right, but I still want to know where he is right now."
