Chapter 173 Rough Stone

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian comforted each other, and the success of this transaction gave them a boost of confidence. However, at this moment, the door of the store was pushed open again, and an old man in shabby clothes walked in.

The old man trembled as he walked to the display stand, pointed at an inconspicuous grey rough stone and asked, "How much is this stone?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the rough stone and said, "This piece is not valuable. If you like it, take it."

The old man shook his head and said, "No, I have money, I'll buy it."

Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised, but she still accepted the money from the old man. The old man took the rough stone and left with satisfaction.

Qianqian looked at the old man's back, thoughtfully, "Wanwan, do you think there is anything special about that rough stone?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe it's just what the old people like."

A few days later, a mysterious buyer came to the door and asked to buy the gray rough stone. Zhou Wanwan told him that the rough stone had been bought by an old man.

The mysterious buyer seemed very disappointed. "That rough stone is actually a rare meteorite, which is worth a fortune."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were stunned after hearing this. They didn't expect that the inconspicuous rough stone could hide such great value.

In the following chapters, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian's moods fluctuate like a roller coaster. They are full of curiosity and regret about the fate of the gray rough stone bought by the old man. However, life is always full of surprises and surprises. Just when they thought the story of the rough stone had ended, an unexpected turn occurred.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan's gem store welcomed a dusty traveler. He was wearing a worn leather jacket, his face was tired from the long journey, but his eyes were shining with excitement. As soon as he entered the store, he went straight to Zhou Wanwan and asked eagerly, "Excuse me, have you ever sold a piece of gray rough stone here?"

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian exchanged surprised glances, and Zhou Wanwan replied: "Yes, the rough stone was bought by an old man a few days ago."

The traveler seemed a little disappointed, but he did not give up and continued to ask: "Do you know where the old man went? That rough stone is very important to me."

Qianqian shook her head, "We don't know, he just paid the money and left."

The traveler sighed, as if thinking about what to do next. At this moment, Zhou Wanwan suddenly remembered something, she walked behind the counter, took out a customer record book, and started looking through it.

"I remember the old man left his contact information. Maybe we can try to contact him." Zhou Wanwan said.

After some efforts, they finally contacted the old man. The old man told them that he did not realize the true value of the rough stone, but bought it only because of his love for the gem. He agreed to resell the rough stone to the traveler, but put forward a condition: he wanted to meet the man who was so obsessed with the rough stone in person.

A few days later, the old man and the traveler met in Zhou Wanwan's jewelry shop.

The traveler explained to the old man the origin and value of the raw stone. After listening, the old man was deeply moved and finally agreed to sell the raw stone to the traveler.

After the transaction was completed, the traveler expressed his deep gratitude to Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian.

He told them that the raw stone was a rare meteorite containing precious metal elements, which were crucial to his research.

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were both surprised and relieved.

They realized that every piece of raw stone has its own unique story and value, and their jewelry store is the witness and transmitter of these stories.

Under the soft light of the gem shop, the transaction between the traveler and the old man seemed to bring a touch of mystery to this small space. Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian stood aside, their eyes full of curiosity and awe. The traveler turned to them, bowed deeply, and then said: "I must thank you, without your help, I may never find such a precious rough stone."

Zhou Wanwan responded with a smile: "We just did what we should do. Every gem has its story, and we are very happy to be part of this story."

Qianqian was even more curious and asked, "Is this meteorite really that special? What are the metal elements inside it?"

The traveler's eyes flashed with excitement. He explained: "This is an extremely rare metal element. It is not only extremely hard, but also has unique energy properties. For my research, it is invaluable."

The old man showed a complicated expression on his face. He seemed to be recalling something, and then he said slowly: "I found this rough stone during an expedition in the mountains when I was young. At that time, I just thought it was very special, but I didn't expect it to be so precious."

The traveler nodded and continued, "Its discovery is a major breakthrough for the scientific community. Its energy properties can be used to develop new energy sources and may even change our understanding of the universe."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian listened attentively. They had never thought that the gems they came into contact with in their daily work might hide such a great secret.

At this moment, the shop door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a black suit walked in. His eyes were directly fixed on the meteorite in the traveler's hand.

The man said firmly: "I heard that there is an extremely precious meteorite here. I am willing to pay a higher price for it."

The traveler and the old man exchanged surprised glances, and Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian also felt nervous. The traveler calmly replied: "This meteorite already belongs to me, and I don't plan to sell it."

The man did not give up. He continued, "I represent an international scientific research institution. We are very interested in the research of this rare metal element. If you are willing to transfer it, we can offer you conditions you cannot refuse."

The traveler shook his head firmly: "This meteorite is more than just an object to me, it is the key to my research. I can't give it up."

The man seemed to realize that he could not convince the traveler. He smiled and said, "Okay, I respect your decision. But if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time." After that, he handed the traveler a business card and turned to leave the jewelry store.

As the man left, the tense atmosphere in the store gradually dissipated. The old man looked at the traveler and said with emotion: "It seems that this meteorite is more important than you and I thought. I hope you can do great things with it."

The traveler nodded, his eyes full of determination: "I will. This meteorite will help us uncover more secrets."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian smiled at each other. They felt that they were not only witnesses of the gemstone, but also part of this scientific exploration journey. They were looking forward to what miracles the travelers could create with this meteorite.
