Baby Qianshu, can you leave me some dignity?
That hurts…
“Even if I can’t differentiate topaz from sapphire, I can pretend. Pretty things look about the same. The simplest thing is to figure out whose product interests me to wear it more. I don’t have to think about the material of the gems.”
“You’re wrong. Jewelry design and raw materials are closely related. If you don’t understand the raw materials, it is difficult to judge the finished product. Different materials have different cleavages, structure, purity, clarity, and polishing. You have to be very clear on how the flaws can be covered. If you don’t understand the material of the gems, you are just judging by personal preference and not with professional eyes and taste.”
Li Zhiyuan took a sip of his wine. He loved discussing professional things with her; Shen Qianshu was clearly professional.
“AG, GK, Dream Star, and I are not professional judges. There are still four other professional judges. So based on what you are saying, all four of us are here purely based on personal preferences?”
Shen Qianshu was startled. Master is also one of the judges?
“I don’t know about the others, but the President of AG, Ye Ling, is definitely more professional than me when it comes to understanding jewels.”
Li Zhiyuan was extremely shocked. “Qianshu, how did you know?”
“AG sent us a batch of fake gems once. When the news was exposed, the appraiser was me. Ye Ling and I had worked together before.”
“I see… I’ve heard that Ye Ling likes Shen Lin a lot. He personally met up with Shen Lin and stole her away from Dream Star. Shen Lin is clearly at an edge for the competition this time.”
Shen Qianshu furrowed her eyebrows. “He likes Shen Lin?”
“I heard.”
Shen Qianshu smiled like a diplomat and thought to herself.
Blind!
“I don’t believe it.”
Li Zhiyuan found it strange. “Why? This was news that came from the office of the President of AG.”
“The person who started the rumor is either blind, deaf, or just doesn’t understand Ye Ling.”
Why would a violent man like him like Shen Lin? She’s definitely not his cup of tea.
Li Zhiyuan looked confused and said, “Qianshu seems to know Ye Ling very well.”
Shen Qianshu remained silent. Her eyes darted past CEO Li, and she stared blankly behind him. The makeup she had on could not cover up the paleness in her face. In her pure and clean eyes, there was a tinge of sadness. It disappeared quickly.
Li Zhiyuan tilted his head and saw Shen Lin, Lin Xuan, and the Shen Family walking in.
Fang Xia and Shen Xiong were in the underwater restaurant as well.
Li Zhiyuan’s cheeky smiles disappeared, and he revealed a sense of elegance of a wealthy prince. Shen Lin was the first to notice Shen Qianshu and Li Zhiyuan. She smiled and waved at Shen Qianshu. “Qianshu, you’re here too.”
The moment she spoke, Fang Xia and Shen Xiong looked over as well. Both of them froze for a moment.
When Shen Qianshu was younger, Fang Xia and Shen Xiong treasured her like a pearl. They doted on her a lot, especially Fang Xia. When Shen Qianshu almost got hit by a car when she was seven, Fang Xia pushed Shen Qianshu away and got hit by the car instead. She fractured her right leg and stayed in the hospital for three months. Shen Qianshu was so upset that she kept crying, but Fang Xia did not regret it as she only wished for her daughter to be safe. Every time Shen Qianshu fought with the kids nearby, Fang Xia would defend her immediately. When Shen Xiong got so angry that he wanted to discipline her, Shen Qianshu would hide behind Fang Xia.
When she was younger, Shen Qianshu was so undisciplined because Fang Xia spoiled her.
She spoiled her into a little monster.
She fought and battled. She was unreasonable and rebellious. She was carefree.
Fifteen years later, she was nothing. In the blink of an eye, time had gone by, and things had changed.
