Chapter 421 Evil Thoughts
"Don't forget that tonight, the Royal Incense House will appreciate the treasures."
Leon Williams warned.
"Master Williams, I will be there on time, please rest assured."
Janet nodded respectfully but there seemed to be light in her eyes.
"All right, I'm going to be busy. Take a look around the company yourself."
Leon got up to go to work.
With the annual meeting approaching, there were a lot of things to do.
"Won't Master Williams wait to finish this cup of coffee?" Janet wanted to serve Leon a little longer.
"No, there is a lot to check on the group's annual meeting tomorrow night." Leon turned to leave.
With that, Leon left the rest area and went into the work area without looking back.
Janet looked foolishly at the figure of Leon who was leaving and envied Rachel unceasingly.
When would she be able to let such a perfect man pay for her like that? She was not expecting to be a woman of Master Williams, she just wanted to stay by his side and serve him in his daily necessities. She was satisfied with that.
At that time, Tina went out shopping alone.
She was not satisfied with the several clothes she tried on at home and planned to buy new clothes for the group's annual meeting tomorrow night.
While she was shopping, many fantasies appeared in her mind.
She fantasized that she would become the brightest star at the annual meeting of the group tomorrow night and that her bosom friend prepared a surprise for her that would be the cause of envy from others.
As she stood on the shining stage of the group's annual meeting, her Prince Charming walked up to her, got down on one knee, and offered a ring.
As she was day dreaming, Tina suddenly thought, 'Should I prepare a surprise for him, too? Shall I give him a present? I know he is not short of money but I must show my heart's intent!'
However, Tina was in a dilemma because of her thoughts, 'My salary hasn't been paid yet and thousands of dollar gifts can't express my feelings, I really don't have money on hand.'
In the end, Tina decided to ask tentatively.
"Darling, do you have any hobbies? I'm going to give you a present at the annual meeting tomorrow as a witness to our first meeting."
Unexpectedly, the other party quickly replied, "My little baby, gifts are not valuable, I don't care about money very much."
"Come on, I'm shopping. My gift has to be meaningful." Tina said while she was holding her cell phone.
"Gold and silver are too tacky. Why don't you buy me a piece of porcelain?"
"Porcelain, all right, I'll buy it."
"The ancient porcelain at the Starlite Shop has been appraised by the authoritative organization and is guaranteed to be authentic so you could rest assured."
"All right, I see. I'll be right there."
"The company still has a lot of work to do so we won't be able to talk any longer. Bye, baby."
The person on the other line said the word "baby" and it made Tina's heart ripple.
After they finished the call, Tina stood in the street giggling alone.
According to what her bosom friend said, Tina came to Starlite Shop.
A middle-aged man with glasses received her.
Tina explained why she came and the man strongly recommended a small blue and white jar to her.
The body of this jar was painted with a demon chopping picture.
There were figures, mountains, rocks, plants, and a few more patterns which probably occupied 2/3 of the jar's body.
"Little girl, this vase is at the right price and is absolutely authentic. Look at this appearance and color, it can be said to be a rare treasure!"
After he said those words, he personally took the magnifying glass and handed it to Tina.
He added, "You can rest assured that this small blue and the white jar has an identification certificate. You see, it has been identified by an authority like Dragon Pavilion. A certificate from Dragon Pavilion means that the jar was authentic!"
Tina looked at the certificate and indeed, it had the seal of Dragon Pavilion.
Although she didn't know much about antiques, she had a collection of programs some time ago and that included an expert from the Dragon Pavilion.
Dragon Pavilion had a great reputation in the antique world and was an authoritative institution for the appraisal of antiques. It had the slogan, "Identify false things and keep real things." The slogan was like the existence of a benchmark in the industry.
The moment Tina saw the identification certificate, she was really moved.
She thought that a gentleman like her bosom friend had a good study of antique culture and if she would give him this small blue and white jar, he would certainly like it very much.
Moreover, she also believed that if she would give such an elegant and refined gift, it would also highlight her own difference and depth.
"How much is this blue and white jar?" Tina asked.
"Girl, you picked up a big bargain. This small blue and white jar cost only 1 million dollars." The man said with a smile.
Tina suddenly became restless.
"What? This costs 1 million dollars?"
Tina was newly graduated and was working for less than a month only. She had no savings and no salary, the only money with her was only five thousand dollars. How would she buy it? Would she buy it with her head?
"That's right, it's 1 million dollars little girl. If you bought that porcelain some time ago, you wouldn't be able to buy it with that amount because it would be sold twice the current amount." The expression on his face suddenly changed and became serious.
"Really? You were selling this jar for 2 million dollars in the past?" Tina asked in surprise.
"No, no, more than 2 million dollars." The man answered.
"How long will it take for this small blue and white jar to return to at least 2 million dollars in price value?" Tina asked again.
"Judging from my years of experience in the industry, porcelain has been on the rise recently and maybe there will be a surge next month." The man said.
When Tina heard that this small blue and the white jar was likely to be valued thrice the original amount in the future, it would not be a loss to buy it.
"I like this vase very much but I really can't come up with so much money. It's 1 million dollars, too expensive for me." Tina said helplessly.
Starlite Shop's porcelain dealer saw that Tina really liked the blue and white jar very much.
"Girl, if you miss this chance, you won't have this jar. Ancient porcelain price value will go up next month. If you will come back with more than 2 million dollars, I won't sell it because it will be more expensive."
Buying was not as good as selling. Starlite Shop's porcelain dealer at a glance was a businessman in the industry, very shrewd.
For Tina who was self-righteous, it would be easier to jump into the hole dug by others.
Sure enough, Tina became impatient when she heard what the man said.
She realized that the annual meeting of the group would be held tomorrow night that was why she must confirm the gift at that moment.
"I'll think of something."
Tina was very undecided at the moment. She was thinking that her bosom friend was so eligible that there must be other girls who would be trying to pursue him in Flying Group.
That was why she felt that the gift she would give to him must be what he liked and it must be meaningful, refined, and not superficial.
However, the small blue and white jar were 1 million dollars in price.
With a regretful mood, she rummaged through her handbag.
At that time, she was surprised to find that her sister's cell phone was in her bag.
She and Rachel's phone were of the same model so she had mistakenly put her sister's phone into her bag.
At that moment, Tina had evil thoughts about her sister's 1 million dollars.
