y, igniting a sea of flames that burns my whole body with pain!"Qiyun, Qiyun..."I'm almost driven mad by this feeling. I want to comfort him, but when I call his name softly, there's a deep longing an...High-rise buildings stand tall, and cars whiz by.
I stood in the seventh senior brother's office, looking out at the scene below from the floor-to-ceiling window. I felt a little out of place.
It seems like I've been away from this kind of living environment for a while.
A small building with red stoves, hot tea and fine snow. There are also mountains, forests, wildernesses, and a sight of devastation.
I had only been gone for a short while, and I already felt dazed and confused. Let alone Mu Wanchen beside me.
Mu Wanchen was wearing a very modern outfit today. This morning, I took him to the shopping mall first before going out.
After being dressed up by the salesgirl, who was astonished at his transformation.
He still wore his shirt, tie, and suit jacket, but he had a woolen hat on to hide his hair.
Such attire could still conceal the dragon scales at the corners of his eyes, making his face appear smaller.
The coat was a kind of woolen overcoat with oxhorn buttons. I don't know how to dress him up to look more mature, anyway, right now he looks like a recent graduate who just started working.
If the eyes weren't so world-weary.
Seventh Brother brought us some snacks, and while he was making tea, he stole glances at Mu Wanchen.
He whispered to me, "Little junior sister, wouldn't it be unsafe for you to go out dressed like this"
"How unsafe"
"He's too eye-catching, this looks like a traffic idol, can't you make it more ordinary"
"This whole outfit, inside and out, top to bottom, doesn't even cost three thousand. Isn't that not ordinary!" I whispered back.
Seventh Senior Brother frowned and sighed, "These young girls nowadays are so wild. With a figure like that, she'd be the center of attention wherever she goes. It's impossible to cover up. By the way, I have a scarf here... A gift from a client last time, I never used it. Take it, wrap it around her, and cover her face!"
The Seventh Senior Brother always used the best things, I nodded in agreement, and he immediately got up and went to the desk behind him to open a drawer.
"Yes, this was brought by our last XXX client." The seventh senior brother flipped a beautifully packaged box onto the desk. I walked over and picked it up to have a look. It was BURBERRY.
"And this one, said to be for my lover I don't even have a girlfriend, where did this lover come from" Seventh Senior Brother was rummaging through boxes behind the work desk.
There was one more Louis Vuitton box on the table.
"Senior brother, senior brother," I called out to him.
"Huh" he looked up from behind.
"You, you go away, I'll come and find."
"...."
This is not an office desk, it's like a luxury goods warehouse.
I took out scarves, cufflinks, watches and other high-end business gifts from inside.
All of them are luxury brands.
"Tsk tsk, Senior Brother, we disciples should be diligent and thrifty, not greedy for wealth…"
"Go, go, go! Which eye did you see me being greedy These are business partners exchanging gifts out of courtesy. Well then, just dress up your husband!"
Seventh Brother was looking at me with a bit of anticipation. I licked my lips, it was pretty fun.
Mu Wanchen is so obedient to me, even if he doesn't want to wear these things, he still patiently follows my lead for half a day.
“It’s over, it’s over, now I look even more like a traffic star.” The seventh senior brother said while covering his eyes.
Dressed in these luxury items, Mu Wanchen would probably be photographed walking down the street, especially with the scarf slightly covering his chin and lips, making his eyes appear even more profound and his nose bridge more prominent.
Mù Wǎn chén saw that our expressions were different, and frowned slightly, asking: "What's wrong"
I swallowed nervously. "That... I think Miss Tang still has some vision."
"Who" Mu Wanchen asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"That's my classmate! She said before that you could be a star, and she always had her eye on you. Look at you, with your white hair, it's all the rage now. You could take amazing photos just with your phone, like a professional photoshoot."
"...Do as you please." Mu Wanchen replied nonchalantly.
Seventh brother's phone rang, he hurriedly raised his hand to signal me not to speak.
The person on the phone was Daozong. To be honest, calling him that isn't very polite, after all, it's just a nickname Seven Senior Brother uses to tease him.
Since I need something from them now, I should be polite and call him Mr. Lu, even though his name is really Lu.
Before, Mr. Lu received an invitation from the Seventh Senior Brother, saying that I had something to discuss with him. He flew back immediately even though he was abroad. The Seventh Senior Brother sent a driver to pick him up. At this moment, he should have arrived at the parking lot.
"Knife… cough, General Lu is still so elegant. Thanks to his refined and fair complexion, he looks even more charismatic with his glasses on."
As soon as he entered the office, he rubbed his arms and said, "Freezing! Freezing! I flew over from Pretoria. I was wearing shorts and flip flops there, and it's so cold here...oh, who is this"
Mr. Lu saw Mu Wanchen sitting on the single sofa.
I quickly stepped across and introduced, "This is my husband."
"Poof...cough cough cough, I know, I know..." He had never seen Mu Wanchen dressed like this.
The seventh senior brother asked him to sit down, poured him some tea and chatted for a few pleasantries before getting down to business.
“Then, Miss Yin Er would like to show me something”
I took my own satchel, inside which a piece of ordinary cloth wrapped a crystal. This one was the "smallest" I could find, about the size of a quail egg, with sharp edges and a rough shape, it was a bit prickly to hold.
Mr. Lu's eyes darkened slightly, causing him to place it on the tea table.
" ...Why don't you just take it directly" I muttered under my breath as I put the things down, sitting across from him. What was he being so careful about
"Get used to it, get used to it……These luxury goods, handicrafts, antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, these things, whether for appreciation or trading, we emphasize a 'difficult to grasp', that is, they won't pass from one hand to another." Mr. Lu spoke eloquently, while taking out an observation mirror from his briefcase.
"This first is to protect valuables. They must be carefully and securely placed so that they can be picked up for viewing; the second is to prevent fraud, to distinguish responsibilities... Oh no, this thing might actually be real..."
I frowned. “Really This is a diamond”
Mr. Lu inexplicably glanced at me: "Does this even need asking Of course, it's diamonds... Eh, you've never seen a diamond As a wealthy young lady like you, haven't you ever received a diamond ring or diamond necklace or something"
"I...who said I've never seen it, isn't this for you!" I glared at him.
Mr. Lu chuckled and said, “This is a rough stone. To talk about its value, we need professional instruments to check it. I can only tell you preliminarily that this thing is a rough stone, but such a large rough stone is not common.”
" …Looking at the color, it's not top-tier…but it's not bad either. With careful polishing and a master designer to set the stones, then with a brand name attached, selling it for one or two million wouldn't be a problem."
"What! Hundreds of thousands" How much could I sell in total
Mr. Lu thought I was finding the price low. He pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "Miss Yin Er, this kind of thing depends on the grade and size. If there's a giant diamond that would shock the world, selling it for hundreds of millions or even billions would be possible."
How big is considered gigantic Would something the size of a palm worke been fanning the flames... From now on, restrain your impulses and fulfill the duties expected of an heir. Then perhaps there's a chance for you to inherit the head of the family. Live a good life,...
