Chapter 1143: Chapter 445: What Big Scene Haven’t I Seen?
Van Cleef & Arpels Concept Store, Jewelry Technology Tasting Conference site.
The dazzling lights and the neon lights outside the store intertwined, creating a dreamy and luxurious atmosphere.
In the exhibition hall, a necklace encrusted with gemstones shone brilliantly under the lights.
"This necklace uses our brand’s most iconic invisible setting technique, with gemstones arranged closely without any traces of metal settings, showcasing the ultimate light and shadow effect..."
Anna, a jewelry consultant from the headquarters, wearing a well-tailored uniform, was smiling and softly introducing the details of the exhibit.
"Ms. Zhao, if you are interested in this piece, I can take it out for you to admire closely." Anna slightly bowed, her tone respectful and gentle.
"No need, thank you." Zhao Yaqian politely shook her head, a bright smile on her face.
Her gaze wandered in the exhibition hall, with a look of curiosity and admiration.
Anna nodded slightly, maintaining a professional and gentle gaze, closely following behind her.
Zhao Yaqian seemed to be accustomed to this, continuing to stroll in the exhibition hall, feeling the unique charm of this high-standard jewelry exhibition.
This jewelry exhibition held by Van Cleef & Arpels in Yan City was of very high standard, only available to VCA Heritage Club members, and required an annual consumption threshold of 800,000 yuan.
Currently, she naturally couldn’t meet this standard.
However, with the support of Gathering Emotion Gold, everything was not a problem.
She could not only bring her best friend Lin Muxue along but also enjoy the highest standard of treatment.
Attending such events was not only to enhance her social etiquette and artistic taste but also to gradually integrate into a higher level social circle.
"Qianqian." A gentle and clear voice came from behind.
Zhao Yaqian turned around and saw Lin Muxue waving at her with a glass of champagne.
She nodded slightly to Anna as a gesture, then turned and walked towards Lin Muxue.
Unlike her.
Xue loved socializing and expressing herself so much that from the moment she entered the Van Cleef & Arpels concept store, she thrived, taking photos and checking in while actively chatting with jewelry experts and fashion celebrities.
She was indeed envious, but due to her personal character, she could never be as natural as Xue.
"Come, Qianqian, let me introduce a new friend to you." Lin Muxue put down the champagne, affectionately hooked Zhao Yaqian’s arm, and indicated toward a short-haired girl with outstanding temperament opposite them, "This is Qin Hua, Miss Qin. This is my bestie, Isa Beauty Industry’s supervisor and shareholder, Zhao Yaqian."
Zhao Yaqian smiled slightly and extended her right hand, "Hello, Miss Qin."
"Hello, Qianqian, nice to meet you."
Qin Hua politely shook her hand, her gaze filled with curiosity.
Lin Muxue added, "Miss Qin is also a member of Isa Beauty Salon, and a diamond card member at that."
Zhao Yaqian’s eyebrows curved with sincerity in her tone, "Thank you, Miss Qin, for supporting Isa Beauty Industry."
Qin Hua smiled and exchanged pleasantries while discreetly sizing up Zhao Yaqian.
The first impression was "She’s so tall," with a height close to 180 centimeters, like a professional model.
Her looks were gorgeous, but with a hint of innocence in her eyes, she seemed only about 20 years old.
Of course, what piqued her curiosity more was her identity.
Isa Beauty Industry was a well-known local chain beauty salon, recently completed financing, and was expanding its light medical beauty projects.
Zhao Yaqian being such a young shareholder of Isa Beauty Industry, clearly had remarkable backing.
But as a local rich second generation, Qin Hua, who had mingled in the circles for so long, never heard of her name.
Either she was an outsider, or... a "golden canary" carefully groomed by certain people.
The three gathered together and chatted about luxury goods and jewelry craftsmanship.
Zhao Yaqian made an effort to integrate herself, maintaining good demeanor and conversation.
Amidst the laughter, she suddenly had a clear moment, softly humming a tune.
She felt her body become particularly light and comfortable, as if she just soaked in a bath and got a full-body spa.
"What’s wrong, Qianqian?" Lin Muxue noticed her peculiar behavior and asked with concern.
"It’s nothing, nothing." Zhao Yaqian smiled slightly, hiding her inner fluctuations.
Just then, Qin Hua’s phone rang.
She opened the bag beside her, glanced at the incoming call, and immediately answered, "Hello, Jing, why did you suddenly call me?"
"Yeah, I’m at the venue, just finished participating in the experience section."
"OK, OK, I’ll buy it for you." Qin Hua said sourly, "Don’t even think about giving me a gift, just thinking of your boyfriend, right?"
"Alright, I won’t talk anymore, I’ll let the marketing consultant know later."
"Mm, bye-bye."
After hanging up, Qin Hua explained helplessly, "A childhood best friend, knowing I’m attending the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition, asked me to buy a new ring for her boyfriend. Love-crazed indeed."
Lin Muxue smiled and casually agreed with a few words.
Upon hearing the words "for the boyfriend," Zhao Yaqian suddenly became interested. The image of Tang Song’s slender fingers appeared in her mind, thinking if she gave him a ring, it would certainly be very fitting and meaningful.
So, she took the initiative to ask Qin Hua about the ring and suggested going to see the real item together.
Ultimately, both of them bought that platinum-colored ring.
...
Bright lights illuminated the quiet street.
Tires rolled over the asphalt road, and the black Audi RS6 slowly drove into Shengyuan Jiajing District, stopping below building No. 6.
"Zhuangzhuang, we’re home."
Wen Ruan lazily stretched, got out of the car, tidied the strands of hair at the corner of her mouth, and the blush on her face hadn’t completely faded.
