Chapter 626: Chapter 623: Reversal Chapter 626: Chapter 623: Reversal “Oh my God, really, I just bought a ring from their store, and there really is an ‘M’ mark on the inside.”

“My bracelet has it too. So, does that mean my bracelet is also a handcrafted piece by Master Yan? I thought it was just a marketing gimmick, but it turns out to be true!”

“I knew something was off! This morning, those twelve hairpins displayed in the store, along with their other products, anyone with knowledge could tell they weren’t fake!”

“Exactly, how could something appraised by President Qin of the Jade Association be fake? This has to be a setup deliberately designed by that woman, right?”

“That woman must have switched the real items and came here on purpose to cause trouble! Is she trying to extort money? After all, the store is known for its ‘ten times compensation for a fake’ policy, with a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands. If they have to repay tenfold, that woman would make a fortune!”

“This is too much. If Jade Beauty hadn’t vindicated itself, wouldn’t that woman have succeeded? Tens of millions is no small sum for a small studio.”

“…”

The plot took a drastic turn, and it turned too quickly, leaving that woman stunned. When she regained her composure, her face turned from green to white with anger and irritation, glaring at Huo Sining with resentment filling her eyes.

“You’re talking nonsense! Show me, how could I not know there’s no engraving in my bracelet?!”

The woman reached out abruptly, trying to snatch the water foam bracelet from Huo Sining’s hand.

Huo Sining was quick and, with a turn of her body, evaded the woman’s grasp.

What a joke, this was the evidence. If this woman got her hands on it, she would certainly find a way to destroy the bracelet. How could Huo Sining let her get away with it?

Huo Sining gave a cold laugh, turned around, and handed the bracelet to the staff member of the Jade Association: “Young man, could you help me check if this bracelet has the same mark as our store’s products?”

The staff member nodded, took the water foam bracelet Huo Sining handed to him, and scrutinized it for a long while. He then compared it with a genuine Jade Beauty bracelet before confirming:
“No, this water foam bracelet definitely does not have a mark.”

After hearing this, the woman glared at Huo Sining bitterly, unwilling to give up: “So what if there’s no mark? That doesn’t prove it didn’t come from your store. Maybe it was your employees stealing it, swapping it out when they sold it to me!”

The mocking smile in Huo Sining’s eyes grew more evident: “Madam, why insist on denying the evidence until it’s too late? Didn’t I say from the beginning, our Jade Beauty is a studio, and all our products are personally carved by our master sculptor, Yan Feng?”

“Handcrafted products have one characteristic – they are unique. Every item we sell is unique, with specially designed styles and sizes. Sorry to tell you, although your water foam bracelet resembles the Blue Water Piao Hua we sold, the style is not the same.”

“We have kept the negative of your bracelet, and additionally, we have security cameras installed at our counter. If you insist that this water foam came from our store, we can check the negatives and surveillance footage against each other.”

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, the woman was dumbstruck, while Zhou Zhen, who was hiding in the crowd and paying close attention to the development, his expression turned completely dark.

At a major jewelry exhibition like this, the participating companies have put a lot of effort into their presentations, showcasing to a national and even international clientele, each company has to maintain face. Therefore, Zhou Zhen thought that if that woman created enough chaos, Huo Sining would likely choose peace over confrontation.

However, Zhou Zhen never expected that Huo Sining, a neophyte, had planned so thoroughly, preparing three aces – the ‘M’ mark, the negative evidence, and the surveillance cameras. Each piece of evidence was capable of directly proving the issue with the water foam bracelet.

It looked like the plan had failed.

Zhou Zhen’s eyes were filled with gloom; no need to look further, he knew that today’s endeavors were doomed. He glanced bitterly at Huo Sining and quietly left the crowd.

Huo Sining caught a glimpse of Zhou Zhen’s retreating figure from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but hook the corner of her mouth into a cold smile.

“Sister Yishan, call the police and report that someone at the jewelry exhibition is suspected of extortion with conclusive evidence. Have them come over to make an arrest!”

As soon as she heard Huo Sining’s words, the woman panicked, instinctively turning back to look for her employer, only to realize when she turned around that there was no sign of Mr. Liu.

Because the jewelry exhibition featured valuable items, the Panjiayuan police station had already deployed officers to patrol the area. Within three minutes of receiving Bai Yishan’s call, a local officer arrived at booth number twelve.

Seeing the police, the woman finally realized her fear and started to shout in panic: “It’s not me, I didn’t know anything, someone else told me to do this!”

Huo Sining had already guessed who was behind the ordeal, but she wasn’t about to let the woman off the hook. She said indifferently:
“Madam, we gave you a chance, but you kept denying the truth. Since that’s the case, please explain it at the police station!”

And with that, the farce came to an end.

Zhou Zhen’s original intention was to destroy the reputation of Jade Beauty and oust Huo Sining from the jewelry exhibition. Yet, due to the dramatic turnaround, the onlookers became aware of Jade Beauty’s product features.

Suddenly, the onlookers exploded into discussion – unique marks, one-of-a-kind products, master artisan craftsmanship, these were all selling points and exactly what many women seeking high-end jewelry desired. Suddenly, Jade Beauty became an incredibly sought-after product, and booth number twelve, already busy, was now completely besieged.

Huo Sining and Bai Yishan looked at each other and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

No one had anticipated such a turnaround. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhen, upon receiving the news, was furious. Not only did he fail to harm anyone, but he had also helped Jade Beauty’s popularity soar even further. Was anyone more unlucky than him?

“What an idiot!” Zhou Yan said with a schadenfreude smile curling on his lips after receiving a call from Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu couldn’t help but complain: “I don’t know what Master Zhou was thinking, letting such a fool take over the company. He understands nothing but how to cause trouble; I bet the company will be doomed under his mismanagement!”

A glint of amusement appeared in Zhou Yan’s eyes: “If that’s the case, Uncle Liu, why not come and help me instead?”
