Chapter 65 - 65 Jade Thumb Ring
65 Jade Thumb Ring
Vivian knew that she could not hide her strength if she wanted to get to the top quickly. She had to let others see that she was of value.
Jack rubbed his fingers and replied after a long while, “I’ll make a call first, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll work.”
The corners of Vivian’s mouth lifted slightly. “I’ll owe you a favor.”
A few minutes later, Jack came in. After sitting down, he smiled and said, “Actually, our Boss is also here this time to participate in the underground cultural relic event. He has promised to meet you, but it’s up to you whether you can go or not,”
Vivian’s smile deepened. “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Jack joked. “It’s just a word. As long as Ms. Vivian doesn’t forget me when she’s on the next level.”
Although Vivian had not met the Boss yet, Jack felt that Vivian would definitely get her wish.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hang Heng hotel. Vivian asked curiously, “This hotel is also your Boss’s property?”
“Yes, our Boss has opened hotels in several big cities with more developed economies,” Jack said with a smile after glancing at the sign.
Vivian nodded in understanding. Anyone who could get an invitation was not a simple person.
She asked Leon to wait for her in the guest area of the hotel lobby and asked the hotel staff to take care of Leon. She followed Jack to the private presidential room on the top floor.
The person who opened the door was a man in a black suit. He informed them with a blank expression, “Manager Jack, the Boss is waiting for you in the study. You can go in directly.”
“Okay, thank you!” Jack said with a proper smile.
Jack brought Vivian to the door of the study and stood there. “Boss, I’ve brought Ms. Vivian here.”
A middle-aged man was bending over and looking at the painting with a magnifying glass. He looked up when he heard Jack’s voice. “Please come in.”
The man had a very gentle face and did not look aggressive at all. He walked forward with a smile and took the initiative to greet Vivian. “Hello, Ms. Vivian. My name is Fred.”
“Hello, Mr. Fred. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”Vivian said with a smile.
Fred raised his hand and motioned for Vivian to sit on the sofa. “Ms. Vivian, please have a seat and talk.”
Jack poured two glasses of water and left.
Fred exchanged a few pleasantries with Vivian before getting to the point. “I didn’t expect Ms. Vivian to know about antiques in addition to stone gambling.”
Vivian smiled and said, “I like those historical objects very much. Through those things, it’s like I’ve traveled back in time to see how the ancient people lived. I also admire the production technology and aesthetic culture of that time.”
In her previous life, Vivian had dabbled in this area in order to develop a common language with the rich, and it was enough for her to put on a front.
Fred raised his eyebrows and agreed, “I’m fascinated by the profoundness of history. I heard from Jack that you’d done a lot of research in this field. Ms. Vivian is so young that I can’t believe it.”
Every time something like this happened, Vivian could only shrug helplessly. “I’m also very helpless. You know, I’m already in my thirties. However, Mr. Fred, one’s strength doesn’t necessarily have to be linked to their age.”
Hearing this, Fred stopped being polite and started his test directly. “Since you’re so confident, then let me see your strength.”
Fred took off a Jade ring from his thumb and put it on the table. “Take a look at this ring first.”
Vivian reached out to pick up the ring and found there were two different temperatures. She did not show any surprise on her face, but she observed it more carefully.
The Jade thumb ring was made of suet white Jade. It was milky white, but there were some green impurities. The Jade was fine and warm, like a gel. About two-thirds of the Jade was hot enough to burn one’s hand, but the other one-third only had a little warmth. It was a true combination of ice and fire.
Because of its flaws, the suet Jade was not of a high grade, but its temperature was not lower than Imperial Green Onyx. This could only mean that the item had a high intrinsic value. For example, it was an antique from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. It could even have been an item belonged to a very powerful person at that time.
