Chapter 2576: Easily Ignored

“We’re different! We don’t need to do that, because we’re still beautiful without any make-up on,” said Gu Ning. It sounded a little narcissistic, but it was the truth. They normally didn’t wear any make-up and yet no one dared to say that they were ugly.

It was their advantage. As cultivators, they had absorbed a lot of magical power, so they could live a long time and keep their skin in a good condition.

However, although they normally didn’t wear any make-up, some people couldn’t believe it and felt that they must have put on foundation at least. They might just not be wearing eye makeup.

Their eyebrows were also thick, so it seemed that they had used eyebrow pencil.

“Right!” Baili Zongxue agreed happily, not denying that they were beautiful even without any make-up.

“Oh, I almost forgot this. We need a briefcase and a pair of glasses.”

When they were about to leave, Gu Ning suddenly realized that they had missed these things, so they went back to shop for them.

Baili Zongxue carried the briefcase and wore the glasses, so that she looked more like a secretary.

They needed a car too, so they went to rent one.

This time, they didn’t need a truck, just a private car.

However, when they went to rent a car, drama happened. Because Gu Ning had put on make-up and looked completely different from her original look. No one believed that she was the same person as shown on her ID card, even though Gu Ning explained that she had put on make-up.

In fact, it was not only her appearance, but her age that seemed very different now. The age on her ID card was nineteen, while she looked about twenty-eight at the moment.

That was what Gu Ning wanted, but now it was causing her trouble.

Left with no choice, Gu Ning took out her phone and showed her picture to prove that she was the same person.

Unfortunately, the car dealership became suspicious of her stealing the phone…

Gu Ning even had the impulse to remove her make-up to prove it, but the female manager of this car dealership came at this moment. After observing her for a while, she was allowed to rent a car.

Women understood that they could look completely different after wearing make-up, but it was still possible to recognize themselves. After all, Gu Ning’s features stayed the same, she only looked more mature after putting on some make-up.

“Miss Gu, you’re quite good at wearing make-up. I think ordinary people wouldn’t recognize you. But why do you need to do that?” asked the female manager. She wasn’t really curious, she just asked casually.

“For work. If I look too young, I might be easily ignored,” said Gu Ning resigned.

“You’re only nineteen. And you’re already working?” The female manager was surprised and had sympathy for Gu Ning. Normally, Gu Ning should be going to university at her age.

“My family asked me to do that,” said Gu Ning.

“Oh!” Hearing that, the female manager nodded and stopped asking.

Gu Ning successfully got a car, then they went straight to the raw jade material market.

After they arrived, they directly went to the Kang family’s store, because they had taken away valuable raw jade materials from the stores at the front earlier in the morning.

The Kang family’s store was very large, so there were many more raw materials containing jade. There should be above ten thousand of them.

Gu Ning found five raw jade materials with top-level jade, and nine with high-level jade. Gu Ning took eight of the high-level jade, and left one in the store.

Among the eight raw jade materials with high-level jade inside, Gu Ning gave two to Baili Zongxue.

Gu Ning took half of the raw jade materials with middle-high-level jade inside. There were about twenty of them. She didn’t take any raw jade materials with middle-level jade inside.

After that, Gu Ning remembered the numbers of the raw jade materials with top-level and middle-high-level jade that she left in the store, and numbers of a stone with low-level jade and two normal stones. Then she sent the numbers to Kang Shaojie to prove her ability.

Gu Ning: Mr. Kang, I know you don’t have much confidence in my abilities. I chose several jade raw materials. If you trust me, you can cut them open to see whether I’m qualified to work with you. You can do that either in public or private, but please don’t tell other people about that.

Gu Ning didn’t care whether Kang Shaojie wanted to cut the raw jade materials open in public or private. After all, if he did it in public, it could bring him more customers.

Once Kang Shaojie received Gu Ning’s message, he called the manager of his family’s store to prevent other people from taking away the jade raw materials. He told the manager to keep them, while he would rush back.

Half an hour later, Kang Shaojie came, but Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue were already gone with enough raw jade materials of high quality.

This time, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue put the raw jade materials they bought in a small warehouse they just rented. There were small warehouses for rent everywhere in the raw jade material market.

…

After Kang Shaojie came, he cut those raw jade materials open in public. As a businessman, he undoubtedly wanted to attract more customers to his store.

He cut out a piece of low-level jade from the first one. Although the jade was low level, he could still make money from it, so he was excited.

“Mr. Kang, it’s unbelievable that you got jade from the very first one!”

“Right, Mr. Kang is indeed amazing!”

“…”

Everyone complimented him, although they were actually jealous. Due to his status, nobody dared to show jealousy on their face.

Because Gu Ning told him to keep it a secret, he couldn’t tell them that it was Gu Ning who helped him choose the jade raw materials. However, he was unwilling to say it was his own effort, so he explained. “I didn’t pick them out. One of my friends did. She told me to help her cut them open.”

“She’s really good then!”

“Right!”

“…”

The crowd complimented them again.

Someone thought Kang Shaojie’s friend was too generous. How could she let Kang Shaojie cut the raw jade materials open. Wasn’t she afraid that he would keep the jade for himself?

They didn’t know much about Kang Shaojie, so it was possible.

Anyway, they wouldn’t leave their raw jade materials with their friends, no matter how close they were.

After the jade was cut out, a jeweler asked Kang Shaojie whether he wanted to sell it.

Because a piece of low-level jade wasn’t useful for Kang Shaojie, he agreed to sell it.

It was low-level jade and wasn’t large, so it was sold at the price of a couple hundred thousand yuan.

Some high-end jewelers didn’t want low-level jade, but ordinary jewelers needed it. Normal jewelers couldn’t afford top-level jade.

Afterwards, Kang Shaojie cut the second one open.

There was jade in the second one too, and it was at middle-high level. This time, even Kang Shaojie was astonished.
