“I can’t tell you this. I need to protect my informant.” The reason Mu Huan knew that the most awesome jewelry modification master in the country was in Yun Cheng was that she had worked as an odd-job worker at that master’s place. Back when she was working at a jewelry store, she heard from a customer that there was a jewelry modification master who was especially formidable. They were tired of wearing their old jewelry, so they went to him to have them recrafted. They took on a new style, and they looked better than those big branded designer jewelry!
Furthermore, that master was really formidable. He could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake diamonds.
Mu Huan saw the modified diamond necklace that the customer was wearing. The design was indeed novel and unique.
Furthermore, the customer had made it sound so impressive that she wanted to further study jewelry knowledge. Hence, she asked around about the master’s studio. When she heard that the master would replace his part-time employee in half a year, she found a part-time job near the master’s studio and waited for the time to come. When the master was looking for someone, she immediately went to apply for the job. Because she had worked in a jewelry store before, she was successfully accepted.
When she was working part-time there, she discovered the Master’s secret.
On the surface, he looked like a decent teacher who was collecting old jewelry and modifying them. In fact, his most lucrative source of income was to take those pieces of jewelry from unknown sources to disassemble and cut them, then reconstruct them into new pieces for those people to sell. If his own pay was appropriate, he would accept those pieces of jewelry with shady origins.
Master was very busy. He had to hire someone to do odd jobs, but he was afraid that the odd-job workers would discover his secret if they worked there for too long. Hence, he replaced his odd-job workers every half a year.
There was a personal assistant by his side who knew everything about him. The jewelry that he had collected from unknown origins were all cut and broken up by him and his assistant, and the old jewelry that ordinary people brought over was given to Mu Huan, a part-time odd-job worker, to help deal with.
Seeing how fast she was at learning, the master had the intention to take Mu Huan in as a disciple and pass on his skills to her. Then, the master-disciple pair would do this together.
However, because she had inadvertently discovered the master’s secret and felt that this was considered an illegal act, she refused to say that her main reason for being there was studying.
However, because she was fast and nimble in her work, the Master made an exception and made her do odd jobs for a year. This year was enough for her to learn a lot, and it also made her especially good friends with the Master’s assistant.
This time, she had gotten such detailed clues from the master’s assistant.
The masters would cut and break up the jewelry of unknown origins after making online transactions. Then, for the safety of both parties, the guests would place the goods that they wanted to have broken up at a specified place. The masters would send someone to retrieve them.
When the goods were ready, the Master would inform the other party to pick them up.
Throughout the entire process, the Master would not know who the guest was. From where the goods came from alone, a huge risk was avoided.
The same went for the guests.
When the goods arrived, because they didn’t know what they were, the only time to catch them was when the customers came to collect them.
When she decided to do this job, Mu Huan had sent the necklaces and pictures of the jewelry store to the master’s assistant. As the master’s assistant was going to migrate overseas this year and needed money, he informed her when he received the goods and even told her the delivery location after the modification.
The assistant would come to deliver the goods around 6:40 am. After he’d delivered the goods, he would inform the other party to retrieve the goods.
