"Yes, there's a project I'm working on recently, and I need to buy a few pieces to manage some relationships," Manager Zheng replied casually, but it was this casualness that gave off a sense of naked ostentation.
"Manager Zheng really has good taste. Jade has been very popular in the last few years, and it's also very collectible without being tacky. It's perfect for gifting," the melon-faced salesperson said with an even brighter smile, her attitude a stark contrast to how she treated Ge Dongxu.
Witnessing this, Ge Dongxu was quite annoyed. He wanted to walk away, but then he reminded himself that he was there to buy jade, not to engage in a contest of ego with these people. Why let her affect him? Thus, he pointed again to the piece of jade he liked earlier and said to the apple-faced salesperson who had been squeezed out of the way, her expression clearly aggrieved, "Could you please take out that pendant for me to look at?"
