Chapter 2566: Easily Ignored
"That's other people's. We don't need it. We are beautiful even without makeup!" Gu Ning said. It sounded a bit narcissistic, but it was true. They usually went without makeup, and no one said they were ugly.
Of course, they have their advantages. As cultivators, absorbing so much spiritual energy will not only prolong their lifespan, but also make their skin as white and tender as cream.
However, even when they are not wearing any makeup, few people believe that they are really not wearing any makeup. They always think that they have put on foundation makeup but just no eye makeup.
Their eyebrows are darker and thicker, so they look almost painted.
"Yeah, that's right." Baili Zongxue responded proudly upon hearing that, and did not deny that they looked really good without makeup.
"I almost forgot, I'm still missing a briefcase and a pair of glasses."
When they were about to leave, Gu Ning suddenly realized that these two items were missing, so they went in and bought them.
Baili Zongxue holds the briefcase and wears the glasses, because this makes her look more like a secretary.
Next, they can only rent the car they need from a car rental place.
This time they didn't want a truck, but a car.
When renting a car, a small incident occurred. Because Gu Ning was wearing makeup, she looked too different from her real self and was mistaken for someone else. Even though Gu Ning explained that it was because of the makeup, the other party was still suspicious.
Because not only is the appearance different, but the age doesn't match! The age on the ID card is only 19, but Gu Ning looks almost 27 or 28 years old.
Although this was the effect Gu Ning wanted, he felt helpless because of the obstacles that occurred.
Helplessly, Gu Ning took out his cell phone and looked through the photos inside to prove that it was indeed her.
However, the other party doubted whether the phone was hers...
Gu Ning almost took off her makeup to prove it, but at this time the female manager of the car dealership came and after observing and confirming that it was indeed the same person, she allowed her to rent a car.
Women! Everyone knows that the difference before and after makeup is huge, but if you look carefully, you can still tell if it is the same person. After all, Gu Ning's facial features have not changed at all, it's just the makeup that's different.
"Ms. Gu, your makeup technique is quite successful. Most people can't tell. But why do you put on makeup like this?" the female manager asked. She wasn't trying to find out anything, she just asked casually.
"It's all because of work. If I were too young, people would ignore me." Gu Ning said helplessly.
"You're only 19 years old, and you're already working!" The female manager was very surprised and a little sympathetic. Children of this age are only in college! "I have experience at home," Gu Ning said.
"So that's how it is!" After hearing this, the female manager understood and didn't ask any more questions.
Then, Gu Ning rented a car and went directly to the raw material market.
After Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue arrived at the raw material market, they went straight to Kang's raw material shop, because they had almost cleaned out the shops in front in the morning.
The Kang family’s shop is big, so they have a lot of raw jade materials, tens of thousands of them.
There were five pieces of top-quality jadeite rough material, and Gu Ning found nine pieces of top-quality jadeite. However, Gu Ning only took eight, and Li Xu loved one.
Among the eight rough pieces of top-quality jadeite, Gu Ning took two of the top-quality ones and gave them to Baili Zongxue.
Gu Ning took half of the upper and middle quality ones, about twenty in total, and did not take any of the middle quality ones.
Then, I, Gu Ning, wrote down the numbers of the top-grade jadeite and two medium-to-high-grade jadeite rough materials, the number of the low-grade jadeite, and the numbers of the two waste materials, and sent them to Kang Shaojie to prove my strength to him.
Gu Ning said: "Mr. Kang, I know you have doubts about me. These rough pieces are my proof to you. If you trust me, you can untie them and then decide whether we can cooperate." Mr. Kang can untie them in public or in private, but if you untie the jade, don't expose me.
Gu Ning didn't care whether Kang Shaojie wanted to untie it in public or in private. After all, if he untied it in public, it would bring him a lot of business once it was pierced.
After Kang Shaojie received Gu Ning's text message, he was afraid that the rough materials would be bought by someone else, so he immediately called the shopkeeper and asked him to take out the jadeite of these numbers and put them away, and he would come and get them right away.
Half an hour later, Kang Shaojie arrived at the store, but Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue had already left long ago and had obtained a lot of spoils.
This time, the raw materials purchased by Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue were stored in a newly rented small warehouse, because every raw material market would have small warehouses for temporary rent.
After Kang Shaojie arrived, he untied the jade in public. As a businessman, of course he hoped to display the jade in the store to attract customers.
The first thing Kang Shaojie solved was low-grade jadeite. Even though it was low-grade, it was also a bet that the price had increased, so Kang Shaojie was excited.
"Master Kang, you are so amazing! You are the first one to bet on the increase."
"Yes, yes! As expected of you, Mr. Kang!"
“······”
Everyone praised him, and although they were extremely envious and jealous in their hearts, they did not dare to show it because of his status.
Because Gu Ning didn't want him to reveal it, he couldn't say that it was Gu Ning who chose the raw material. But he didn't want to take the credit, so he couldn't assume that he chose it. So he explained: "This was not chosen by me, but by a friend. She asked me to help untie it."
"Then your friend is really amazing."
"Yeah yeah!"
“······”
There was another round of praise from the crowd.
Some people thought that Kang Shaojie's friend was too careless. He actually let Kang Shaojie cut the stone. Wasn't he afraid that Kang Shaojie would keep it for himself?
It’s not that Kang Shaojie is such a person, but they don’t know Kang Shaojie, so they can’t say that he is not such a person!
Anyway, if it were them, no matter how good their relationship was, they would not ask the other party to help them cut the stone.
After the jadeite was unsealed, a jeweler asked Kang Shaojie whether he wanted to sell the rough material.
Inferior-grade jadeite was of no use to Kang Shaojie, so he just threw it away.
I thought it was low-quality jade and not very big, so I sold it for hundreds of thousands.
Some high-end jewelers don't want these low-quality jadeite, but ordinary jewelers do! And they only need these low-quality and medium-quality ones. They really can't afford the high-quality ones!
Then, solve the second one.
The second one also turned green, and it was a mid-to-high quality jadeite. This time, even Kang Shaojie was surprised, it turned out to be a mid-to-high quality jadeite...
