Li Man thought that if Xia Zhiwan could introduce one or two gemstones, she would acknowledge her.

However, Xia Zhiwan showed no intention of shrinking back. She scanned through the dozens of samples of dazzling jewelry and immediately knew what to talk about as if she knew them like the back of her hand.

After she had awakened her secret ability, it was as if someone had installed an automatic recognition system in her eyes. She could even accurately describe a gemstone’s quality, cut quality, and cutting style in cases where professional testing apparatus were needed to give a grade to the said gemstone.

It was as if she was a living machine for appraising jewelry!

Li Man’s eyes glazed over for a moment as she looked at Xia Zhiwan explaining in such a detailed manner until the point where she could not confirm if Xia Zhiwan was telling the truth. She then sighed.

“Zhiwan, it’s such a shame for you to come here.”

Li Man had heard some things about Xia Zhiwan’s past and assumed that she would either become a tool of revenge for Xia Zhiya or carry the burden of taking care of the young mistress who had become a social pariah.

However, after seeing the fighting spirit and excitement in Xia Zhiwan’s eyes at that moment, Li Man could not help but see Xia Zhiwan in a new light.

Xia Zhiwan answered, “I don’t regret anything. Everything happens for the best.”

To be fair, she had always felt unreal ever since she had become a general manager.

She understood that a person with no experience who had not awakened her secret ability could never be a good match for this position no matter what. She had become a manager purely because of Issac’s biased love towards her.

The fact that she had become a sales employee at the lowest class was nothing more than God taking back the gift that was bestowed upon her.

Furthermore, this was a valuable opportunity for Xia Zhiwan as she could directly interact with many customers as well as spend time with her jewelry from the frontlines.

Back when she had held a high position, she had to take care of business related to development and management. As such, she was not close enough to the production and design of jewelry. However, she wanted to have a breakthrough in this area.

Li Man smiled and patted Xia Zhiwan’s shoulder. She then said in a slightly profound manner, “If that is what you truly think, then my shop welcomes you. You shine just like the best pigeon blood ruby in the world. You can never hide that glow of yours!”

If not for Xia Zhiwan’s secret ability, how could she analyze those gemstones faster and more accurately than a machine? Li Man had been working in the jewelry industry for many years. It would be unlikely for her to be so short-sighted.

Xia Zhiwan was slightly surprised. She had been mentally prepared to get picked on as well as endure hardships! Why did it seem like she was acknowledged?

Li Man fiddled with her hair as if she could see Xia Zhiwan’s confusion. She then laughed. “Hah, do you think that everyone would listen to that silly little girl?”

Her confident gaze as well as that derogatory nickname told Xia Zhiwan that there was more to Li Man’s identity as the shop manager than meets the eye.

Li Man was much revered in her shop. Every single employee would amicably refer to her as Sister Man. However, she was a strict person who loved to nit-pick. Her sharp tongue had rarely acknowledged anybody.

Nevertheless, she became close to Xia Zhiwan with an excited expression. She had even secretly exclaimed over what she had seen. It was truly a big shock to the others.

A few new salespeople began to look at Xia Zhiwan with ill gazes.

She was just a girl who had arrived a few days ago. Furthermore, she was exiled from the headquarters. What was she capable of anyways?

Xia Zhiwan turned a blind eye to those words and held onto her principle of not messing with others as long as they do not mess with her.

She could not stop them from gossiping about her after all.

However, a few days after she had officially gone on duty, Xia Zhiwan found a piece of counterfeit jewelry on the counter she was in charge of!

That was a top-tier pink diamond necklace. The person who had made the counterfeit was highly skilled as they had managed to pass it off as a genuine necklace.

Even so, in the eyes of Xia Zhiwan, no piece of counterfeit jewelry could escape her sight.

Every single piece of jewelry in the shop went through strict appraisals and maintenance as each one of them had a specific barcode and license.

That could only mean that someone had purposely swapped that piece of jewelry!

It did not matter if that person’s goal was for money or to frame Xia Zhiwan.

If she was found guilty of accidentally selling this piece of jewelry, she would definitely get fired, and she would need to pay for it too!

The most important thing was that her reputation would surely spread to headquarters. She could never stay in the industry ever again!
