Invincible Divine Dragon's Cultivation System - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

“Sir, please wait for a moment . My company is sending someone down . Please have some tea while waiting . ”

The manager from the Deep-sea Jewelry poured and handed a cup of tea zealously to him in the waiting room .

Wang Xian smiled and nodded, “No problem . I’ll just wait here . No hurry . ”

“Great . ”

Wang Xian made himself comfortable in the waiting room as he felt funny when he thought of the middle-aged man whom he’d met just now .

“Is the seller inside?”

After 20 minutes, Wang Xian heard a girl from the outside .

“Sir, sorry to keep you waiting . This is our in-charge from the company . ”

Just then, a pretty girl who was in professional attire followed behind the manager as the manager introduced her to Wang Xian .

“Hi . ” Wang Xian stood up and stretched out his hand .

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

Wang Xian gasped as he looked at the familiar girl in front of him .

The girl before him was slightly shocked to see Wang Xian too .

“Wang Xian?” she raised her eyebrows and asked .

“Chairman Lan!”

Wang Xian did not expect an acquaintance to be here . Moreover, she was a senior in the school – Lan Qingyue .

Lan Qingyue was the vice-chairman of the student council at the University of Rivertown . Wang Xian had met her a few times before .

However, Lan Qingyue was not expecting Wang Xian to be the seller who wanted to sell the premium grade pearls .

She knew a fair bit about Wang Xian .

He was a year-one student, and they’d met a few times when he was looking for some part-time jobs in school .

She remembered the guy in front of her was working for the entire year, even during his school holiday .

He part-timed in school and outside of school too .

For quite some time, as the vice-chairman of the student council, she took on the chairman role for the students’ affairs club and was responsible for the part-time work in school .

Back then, Wang Xian was part-timing non-stop . So, she was quite familiar with his family’s situation .

His parents were not around, and he was left living with his younger sister . Hence, he had to be responsible for his sister’s livelihood . Back at that time, Lan Qingyue had a deep impression of him as she had due respect for this guy .

“What a coincidence!” Wang Xian grinned and said to her .

“Yes!”

“Director Lan, do you know this gentleman?” the manager asked in astonishment .

“Schoolmates . ” Lan Qingyue nodded with a smile .

“That will be even better, Director Lan . Both of you take a seat, and I’ll get you some water,” said the manager quickly .

“The rumors in the school are real . ”

Upon seeing the manager’s attitude, Wang Xian thought of the rumors in the school saying that her family owned a significant listed company, and they were an affluent family . In the future, she would be taking over the large-scale family business .

But he did not expect that she was already handling her family business before she turned year three .

“Wang Xian, I never expected you would be the seller,” said Lan Qingyue indifferently to Wang Xian .

Wang Xian chuckled and checked out Lan Qingyue who was in office attire . She gave off a cool and distant vibe .

She had a great figure, but she was the type who seemed remote and aloof . In school, she was known as the Ice Queen .

She and Guan Shuqing were two different characters . Guan Shuqing was a goddess that was friendly yet reserved .

But Lan Qingyue was a goddess who kept her distance at arm’s length .

“I was not expecting you either . ”

“Can you show me the pearls?” Lan Qingyue peered at the pearl on the table .

“Of course . ” Wang Xian nodded and showed her .

Lan Qingyue placed four pearls of different colors in her palm .

“This is gorgeous!” she exclaimed . “16 pearls could make one or two sets of jewelry or a string of necklace . ”

“I wonder how much you are asking for,” asked Lan Qingyue .

“Name me your price . ” Wang Xian smiled and replied .

“How about $600,000 for one?” Lan Qingyue asked with a grin .

“Deal . ” Wang Xian nodded without asking for a higher price, as $600,000 for a pearl was already a remarkable price .

16 pearls would bring him $9 . 6 million . With the $1 . 75 million that he had, he would have over $10 million in total .

Within a few days, Wang Xian turned into a millionaire!

“I thought you would raise your price . ” Lan Qingyue was a little stunned by Wang Xian’s unconditional agreement . “You are making me uneasy . Let’s make it a round sum, $10 million . ”

“Thank you!” Wang Xian laughed and nodded .

“Can I ask where you got these pearls from?” Lan Qingyue asked with her curiosity piqued .

“From the sea,” Wang Xian answered with a grin . “If I have more pearls in the future, I’ll come and look for you . ”

“Sure . ” Upon hearing that, Lan Qingyue was slightly stunned . Can pearls be found so easily?

“Let’s add each other on Wechat . I will look for you when I have more pearls,” Wang Xian told her .

“Great!” Lan Qingyue nodded and smiled . “Let’s go to the bank to transfer the money . ”

“Sure . ” Wang Xian nodded and followed her out . The maximum limit for online bank transfers was set at five million . Hence, they needed to go to the bank to do a transfer instead .

Before they could exit through the door, three juveniles walked into Deep-sea Jewelry . Three of them were wearing formal clothing in the summer . When they saw Wang Xian and Lan Qingyue, they exchanged gazes with each other .

“Don’t move and don’t make a noise . Otherwise, I will kill both of you . ”

Suddenly, the three of them aimed black handguns drawn out from their pockets at them .

Lan Qingyue and Wang Xian were stunned immediately as they looked ghastly at them .

“Close the store now! Hurry! Otherwise, I’ll kill both of you immediately . ”

One of them pointed the handgun at one of the salesgirl’s head .

“Ah!”

That salesgirl raised her hands shockingly . All the salespeople and the manager behind the counters in the shop got a fright .

“Stop screaming and close the door now . Don’t think of staying alive if the police are here . ”

That juvenile barked ferociously at everyone .

“No, don’t kill me . ” The salesgirl walked to the door and shut it while shuddering in fear .

There were no other customers in the store at this time except for six salesgirls and a manager . Once the door was closed, people from the outside had a limited view of whatever happened in the shop .

“Squat down on the floor . Hurry . ” The robber who was pointing his gun at Wang Xian shouted to everyone .

Wang Xian was slightly stupefied as he did not expect he would encounter a robbery . After all, robbery was not a common thing in modern day .

“Squat down!” The robber in front of Wang Xian barked at him again .

Wang Xian looked at the shiny black muzzle and squatted down .

Lan Qingyue squatted down and stared at the three robbers with a horrified look on her face .

“Quick, take all the jewelry now . ”

A robber pointed the handgun towards Wang Xian and the rest of the people .

“Okay, okay . ” The other robber took out a hammer hidden in his clothes and smashed the glass counters .
