170 Special “Care”

“Get Jobs a cup of coffee,” Vivian said to Fanny. “More milk, less sugar.”

Vivian raised her eyebrows and cracked a joke. “You’re an important general in my hands. What if I don’t treat you well and run away?”

Then, Vivian got to the point. “How’s your investigation going?”

Jobs thought of the their conversations in the afternoon and replied, “I’ve found two of my friends, and they said the same thing. I’ll just pick the one that’s the same and tell you.”

“Counterfeit raw stones only appeared in the past two years. Last year’s methods were still relatively clumsy. Experienced freight merchants can notice it if they look closely. Since the second half of this year, those people’s counterfeit skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Before we were tricked, two foreign freight merchants were also deceived.”

“They all reported it to the police, but the police couldn’t find the scammers just based on the descriptions of the people who reported it. In any case, the end result was that the case was left unsettled. So far, they’ve indeed been looking for foreigners to lay their hands on. My friend said that they’re taking advantage of the fact that we can’t stay in M Country for long, and that they don’t dare to offend the industry insiders in their country.”

Vivian frowned when she heard this. “Is there any news about these scammers in their circle?”

Jobs adjusted his glasses, looked up at Vivian, and shook his head. “There’s not much news. I only know that this group of people came from the northern region. The Jade mine, which stretches thousands of miles, is spread along the Umai River in the northern part of the M Country. There are hundreds of large and small mines. Due to the different geographical location and hydro-characteristics of each mine, the raw jade stones have their own characteristics. The people there almost all know some ways to identify raw stones. They’ve been doing that since they were young. They have many experts.”

“The traffic between the people here and the people in the North isn’t smooth. In addition, due to political reasons, people don’t go there easily, so they know even less about those people.”

Vivian let out a heavy breath. “The last time you heard of the fraud, they were using a fake skin?”

Jobs nodded. “Yes.”

Vivian laughed out loud.”They’ve changed their tactics when we’re here. They’re taking special care of us, they’ve got a lot of tricks.”

Vivian suddenly thought of the people who occasionally raised their signboards in the market and had an idea. “Make a dozen signboards and get someone to write the method of making these two jadeite and the identification method we studied today on them. Then hire a dozen people to walk around the market with the signboards and let everyone learn these skills. I saw a lot of foreign businessmen in the market today. They must be very interested in this.”

Jobs’ eyes widened slightly. At first, he didn’t understand the intention, but he thought about it and guessed, “Boss, are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?”

Vivian’s eyes flashed with a hint of calculation, and she replied, “That’s right, we’re in the open while he’s in the dark. Looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Using this method to let others know of their methods, the more people know, the more people will be on guard, and the more difficult it will be for them to sell the fake stones. At that time, they will come to us.”

Jobs laughed. “Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to prepare it later. Write it in both M Country laguage and English.”

After the discussion, Jobs left. Vivian sat on the sofa with her eyes closed and rubbed her temples.

Fanny had learned how to massage at a Chinese traditional clinic before, and she immediately went up to give Vivian a gentle massage to relieve her fatigue.

Fanny’s massage skill was very professional. Vivian was so comfortable she wanted to sleep, but before she fell asleep, she suddenly remembered something. “If Leon calls you and asks if things are going well here, just say you’ve only been staying at the hotel and cooking. You don’t know much, but everything looks fine. There’s no problem.”

Fanny smiled. “Okay, Miss. You and Master Leon have the best mother-son relationship I’ve ever seen. From the time I came to work until now, he’s been asking about your daily expenses and food every day. He’s even asked about the selection of ingredients. Not many people can be so attentive to you.”

“Furthermore, children of this age usually like to go against their parents after they enter puberty. However, Young Master Leon still listens to you. He’s mature, sensible, and considerate like a little adult at such a young age.”
