Capítulo 768: Chapter 749: The High-Spirited Ladies of Wealthy Families (Extra 1)
Wealthy rchants were leaning over the counters on the second floor, necks stretched out so long, pushing the Jade Girls back against the wall.
Lin Yi couldn’t help shaking his head; it seed these rchants would love to pounce on the Jade Girls, like they hadn’t eaten at for half a year—’drooling profusely’ was an understatent.
Just then, Spirit Jade stepped back to the counter with graceful strides, taking out today’s finale piece—the Pink Jade Bracelet.
“Gentlen, today our owner is featuring pink jade.”
“Gentlen, if you have a beloved girl in mind, you could gift her a pink bracelet; I believe no woman could refuse.”
“Starting bid is 100 taels, hurry up and make a move if you’re interested.”
The grandfathers eyed Spirit Jade’s slender jade hands greedily, their minds clearly not on the pink bracelet.
But after a long wait, while the gentlen squeezed toward the front desperately, not a single one dared to make a bid.
No help for it, the group of grandfathers couldn’t muster any interest in pink jade, and besides, they had already spent quite a bit on the opening day yesterday.
Now, they could only spectate the excitent.
But the Jade Girls weren’t in a rush; after their training, they knew that with a little strategy, this piece of pink jade would beco the object of these grandfathers’ competition.
However, before the Jade Girls could act, the sisters from downstairs climbed the stairs with steady steps.
These sisters were also potential custors.
Rule number two of the sales handbook: treat all custors equally, with no discrimination.
There you have it, Spirit Jade took the lead out of the counter, smiling brightly as she approached the sisters.
“Sisters, did you like the little gifts from downstairs? These are top-grade finished jade pieces; you are welco to take a look.”
It was the first ti that the rich wives had been so respectfully attended to.
As everyone knows, in ancient tis, mostly only n got to enjoy the ticulous service of beautiful won.
These rich wives normally only strutted around commanding servants at ho.
Any woman with a bit of looks wouldn’t stoop to being a maid or servant.
Yet now, the curvaceous Spirit Jade, like an obedient servant, was lowering her position to be at their beck and call.
The hearts of the rich wives were imnsely satisfied.
“Hehe, how nice, this Jade Pavilion is a feast for the eyes,” the rich wives laughed so hard they couldn’t close their mouths.
They wanted to get close to the jade exhibition counter, but found it already tightly surrounded by a group of grandfathers.
They couldn’t see the jade pieces inside the counter at all.
Spirit Jade gave a look to Xiangyu, who imdiately picked up the pink bracelet from earlier, repeating loudly.
“Pink bracelet, starting bid of 100 taels, interested gentlen please make a move quickly.”
“Pink bracelet, starting bid of 100 taels, interested gentlen please make a move quickly.”
She repeated it twice, but the group of grandfathers acted as if they were deaf; they didn’t hear it.
But their eyes were bright, even like they had trackers installed.
Wherever the Jade Girls went, their gazes followed.
Spirit Jade intentionally sighed: “Sisters, our new store just opened and we certainly have many shortcomings, please forgive us.”
“Alas, today we haven’t sold a single piece of jade on the second floor, and we are still hungry.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi on the second floor couldn’t help but frown; wasn’t Spirit Jade’s ruse supposed to work on n, who would feel pity for the Jade Girls not having eaten and soften up and buy the pink bracelet?
But Spirit Jade was using the sa trick on the rich wives—clearly targeting the wrong audience.
What Lin Yi didn’t know was that he was about to be proven very wrong.
Lady Zhang gently took Spirit Jade’s hand, with a face full of sympathy, she said.
“Our dear sister, there’s no need for you to worry, your sisters will have your back.”
“As long as we’re here, you won’t have to go hungry, right, everyone?”
Lady Zhang’s words instantly piqued the interest of the other wealthy ladies, who one after another assured their support for Spirit Jade.
Seeing the timing was right, Spirit Jade deliberately looked towards the pink bracelet that Xiang Yu was auctioning.
“What? A pink one for 100 taels, and after being eyed by a bunch of big n for so long, none of them bought it?”
“Hehe, this is simply losing face completely. Pretending to be rich when you’re broke, can’t you have a little self-awareness and just go downstairs to get a free accessory, and be content with the little advantage gained?”
“Exactly, having no money and still coming to the second floor, they just know to take advantage of our sister. Can’t even shell out 100 taels, are they even n?”
…
The group of big n were so ridiculed by the wealthy ladies that they were blushing with sha. They wanted to retort, but even with their mouths open, they just couldn’t say a word.
Because they knew that as soon as they opened their mouths, they would suffer even more defeat, and the wealthy ladies and Jade Girl would look down upon them even more.
No wealthy man would want to argue with a woman in public, as it is ungentlemanly.
Just like that, the n left the showcase one by one, wilted like frostbitten eggplants.
From beginning to end, not a single man stepped forward to bid for the pink jade bracelet.
The second floor, once a battlefield for n, turned instantly into a battlefield for won.
Lin Yi exclaid in disbelief, not expecting that jade could beco the darling of the wealthy ladies of Gan County.
But in the next second, Lady Zhang’s generosity was an eye-opener for Lin Yi.
“Our dear sister, are you sure you want 100 taels for this pink bracelet?”
Spirit Jade hesitated; won like to compare before buying and enjoy snagging a small bargain. Otherwise, these wealthy ladies wouldn’t have been attracted by the free jade accessories that she ntioned earlier.
Thinking of the scene where Lady Zhang and the other ladies were angrily scolding the pretentious broke n, Spirit Jade guessed that Lady Zhang’s purse must be quite full.
Not only that, she was also very concerned about saving face.
After hesitating for a mont, she decided to treat the group of wealthy ladies the sa way she would male custors.
“Sisters, to be honest, we only have one of these pink jade bracelets today, but with so many beautiful sisters here, I really can’t decide to whom I should sell.”
The obsession of won with pink is an age-old story, and as Xiang Yu swayed the pink bracelet, none of the wealthy ladies could resist its allure.
Next, it was ti for them to showcase their spending power.
“150 taels!”
“200 taels!”
“300 taels”
…
“1000 taels!”
Lady Zhang jumped straight to 1000 taels in one breath!
Everyone gasped in amazent; the pink bracelet was only slightly rarer than the common green ones. Under normal circumstances, 500 taels would be more than enough.
But to jump to 1000 taels in one go, even Lin Yi was astounded.
It turns out that when won get fierce, n really have no place at all.
Spirit Jade handed the crystal clear pink bracelet to Lady Zhang and kept lavishing her with praise.
“Lady Zhang really has such an elegant temperant, look at this—once you wear the pink bracelet, it’s like you’ve beco over a decade younger.”
Lady Zhang, flattered, nearly burst into a smile that stretched to the back of her jaw.
