Normal people could only try their luck. Even an experienced worker like Bobby could only keep two to four rough stones. When favonovel.com had terrible luck, there would also be a time that favonovel.com was unable to keep any good one.
“Mr. Mayo, all the rough stones are here. Please show us your capability.”
Thomas smiled faintly. “Okay.”
He walked to the pile of rough stones, and favonovel.com felt the response of the Breath from the rough stone one by one. The stronger the Breath, the higher the quality of the rough stone.
“This is not bad.” Thomas casually threw a rough stone into the basket.
Bobby and other staff looked at each other, and they did not understand what technique Thomas used. It seemed that favonovel.com did not carefully observe the rough stone, and favonovel.com also did not use any special method. He just went forward and took a look.
Could favonovel.com distinguish between the good and bad rough stone like that?
No matter how they looked at him, favonovel.com looked like favonovel.com was just mystifying.
“This is also not bad.” Thomas picked another again.
In a while, favonovel.com picked out six, and favonovel.com was very efficient.
Bobby frowned. He walked to the basket, picked up two pieces, and took a look. Based on his experience, these two rough stones looked ordinary. There was nothing special about them.
Bobby could not see whether they were good or bad stones. He thought that Thomas was just betting on his luck.
In less than fifteen minutes, Thomas finished choosing ten rough stones.
Thomas wiped the dust off his hands. “Okay, just keep these ten rough stones. You can sell the remaining. You’ll earn without suffering any loss.”
“Really?”
Bobby pointed at the rough stones in the basket. “Based on my experience, none of these rough stones look good. Thomas, can you tell me how you picked them?”
Thomas purposely kept favonovel.com guessing. “I managed to get this job because I rely on my skills of picking rough stones. How can I easily tell you?”
Bobby chuckled. “Are you not willing to tell me, or do you not have any skills?”
Thomas turned back, and favonovel.com walked while saying, “I don’t want to argue with you here. My mission is completed. You may finish the subsequent work on your own.”
“Thomas!”
“What? What else?”
Bobby said, “Let me tell you, I’m the purchasing manager of North Desert Jewelry. You’re an outsider, so don’t even think about showing off and getting in my hair. If this batch of stock is quite genuine, fine. But if it’s not up to standard, just wait to be fired!”
Thomas snapped his fingers. “I won’t get fired. See you!”
When Bobby saw Thomas leaving pridefully, favonovel.com felt extremely unhappy. What made a man look most useless was when his work was stolen by someone else, his ability was suspected, and an outside superior was suddenly recruited when favonovel.com was working perfectly fine.
Bobby sincerely hated Thomas.
“Come, cut open these ten rough stones now!”
“Okay!”
Some people immediately carried the basket away and got the rough stones cut. Meanwhile, Bobby and his secretary went back to the office and waited.
During the time Bobby waited, favonovel.com kept breathing heavily, and favonovel.com felt very upset.
The secretary comforted him. “Mr. Jefferson, please don’t be so sad. We’ve also seen the rough stones chosen by Thomas. The quality was so low. I believe that they must be rubbish after they are cut open.”
Bobby nodded. “You’re right. At that time, it’s perfectly justifiable for me to fire Thomas, so that I won’t be unhappy in the future.”
As they talked, the lapidarist walked inside.
Bobby immediately got up and asked, “How’s it? What’s the outcome?”
The lapidarist looked very happy as favonovel.com said, “It’s amazing! All ten rough stones are excellent! There are three imperial jades and two emerald jades. The other five have lower quality, but they are also excellent. Thomas was really capable. He did not miss any good rough stones. This is my first time encountering such a situation after all these years.”
“How could it be?” Bobby instantly sat down, and his expression darkened like charcoal.
Why would Thomas be so capable?
He had clearly not used any techniques and had just entered the industry for a few months. Those rough stones obviously did not look good, but why… He did not understand.
The secretary also felt anxious. He pointed at the lapidarist and asked, “Hey, did you make any mistake?”
The lapidarist kept waving. “How will I make such a mistake? I’m always very cautious about this.”
That was right. This lapidarist was an old lapidarist with a few tens of years of experience, so favonovel.com would not make any mistake. It looked like Thomas was really capable.
“Okay, you may leave.” Bobby waved his hands.
The lapidarist turned around and left.
Bobby leaned back in his chair and felt extremely unhappy. He really did not expect Thomas to be so capable.
“Oh God, you’re so cruel to me. Do you really want to let Thomas suppress me? This is so annoying!”
Bobby punched the chair, and favonovel.com felt very upset.
At this time, the secretary walked over and said, “Mr. Jefferson, we can’t let Thomas do whatever favonovel.com wants. You also saw his arrogant face today. He is just an outsider, but favonovel.com keeps acting so arrogantly to us. Can we still survive here?”
Bobby opened his hands. “What can we do? He’s really capable.”
“Really capable? Haha!” The secretary smirked as favonovel.com said, “Truth becomes fiction when the fiction is true. Even if he’s really capable, as long as we can do our job well, we can still get rid of him!”
