647: Chapter 606: Slapping the Face Again 647: Chapter 606: Slapping the Face Again “Where are we heading now?” Zhang Xinran asked, feeling her man was capable of anything, always there when she needed him the most—the feeling was just too wonderful, almost like the ecstasy she got in bed.
“Zhou Dafu, to match a temporary set of jewelry for you.
In two days, Cartier’s new product launch will be held in Hong Kong, then we can pick out anew,” Liu Hun said to Zhang Xinran with a smile.
“Actually…
Zhou Dafu is quite nice.
Why don’t we just buy from Zhou Dafu?” Zhang Xinran asked, sowhat puzzled.
“In the future, as the music director of Imperial City Entertainnt, you’ll attend many important social events, and jewelry is a must.
Moreover, each piece you wear should not be repeated for at least a few months.
More importantly, it can’t be just any jewelry.
Otherwise, it would be like clothes.
If soone else wears the sa, you’ll be laughed at,” Liu Hun explained to Zhang Xinran.
“Mhm, I understand,” Zhang Xinran felt incredibly sweet inside, never imagining her man to be so thoughtful.
The two made a begrudging sweep through Zhou Dafu, and two days later, at Cartier’s new product launch, Zhang Xinran, glittering with jewelry, formally stepped into Hong Kong’s social circle with Liu Hun, in her capacity as the music director of Imperial City Entertainnt.
Since Zhang Xinran was appearing as the music director of Imperial City Entertainnt, Jiang Fengqin, the general manager of Imperial City Entertainnt, also made an appearance.
The two eye-catching won imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
Jiang Fengqin had adopted a sexy matronly style, her plunging evening gown revealing an ample cleavage, which conquered countless male gazes and female jealously.
Even more daunting was the significant volu of her chest, unsupported due to her backless gown, which quivered with every step she took, making people seriously worry that the bouncing orbs might spill out at any mont.
Zhang Xinran, though also well-endowed, took a more intellectual approach; her non-prescriptive black-frad glasses made her look even more charming and seductive.
“Imperial City Entertainnt is really…
overflowing with springti!”
“No kidding, and another stunner, Wang Baizhi, hasn’t even shown up yet.
We’d surely get an eyeful if she did.”
“Heh, an old woman selling her body, not ashad at all for dressing so revealingly!”
“Who’s that woman with her?
Trying to look like a female professor or sothing, it’s just disgusting.”
“…”
The opinions of n and won at the social event were starkly different, and Liu Hun precisely hoped to use such occasions to hype Imperial City Entertainnt while quickly making a na for Zhang Xinran.
“Welco!
Welco!
Welco everyone!
Ladies and gentlen, thank you for coming to the Cartier new product launch.
Cartier’s head office has arranged a special ending for today’s launch,” the host tantalized the audience, pausing dramatically before announcing, “This ending is…
that all of today’s new releases will be auctioned off in limited editions, and this diamond necklace ‘Dreamy Catherine’ will be Cartier’s sole, unique piece globally—utterly one of a kind!”
“Wow…
oh…
my God…”
At this revelation, the crowd erupted in exclamations, their eyes greedily fixed on the dazzling blue diamond.
“Now I officially announce, the auction starts!” the host spoke and imdiately brought out the first item for auction.
“This is a creation of Cartier designers, an exceptional piece.
It isn’t just a valuable diamond bracelet but also encapsulates the essence of the Cartier brand…
limited to a hundred pieces worldwide…”
“Xinran, tonight is destined to be yours.
Don’t worry about the money; buy whatever you like,” Liu Hun said to Zhang Xinran, passing his bidding card directly to her.
“The opening bid is three hundred thousand!” the auctioneer announced.
“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Four hundred thousand!”
“Four hundred and fifty thousand!”
“…”
“One million!” Zhang Xinran finally placed her bid.
“One million!
We have a bid of one million!
Is there any higher than one million?!” the auctioneer eagerly looked around and then declared, “One million for the first ti!
One million for the second ti!
One million for the third ti!
Sold!”
Zhang Xinran, on her first attempt, secured the limited edition diamond bracelet for one million.
“Isn’t that the music director of Imperial City Entertainnt?
Spending a million in one go, indeed impressive!”
“She’s also quite a looker, with an extraordinary aura.
I like this kind of woman!”
“So annoying!
Don’t know which man she’s clinging to now.”
“Just looking at her, she doesn’t seem like a decent woman.
I don’t believe she can buy much tonight!”
“…”
Just as Zhang Xinran won her first piece of jewelry, two familiar figures appeared on the other side of the exhibition hall.
“Why is she everywhere?!” Huang Jiyu complained to Lin Feng, who had caught up with her after she ran out of the car dealership that day.
He then promised to buy her the new Cartier product, which reconciled them.
“No worries!
With here, I absolutely won’t let this woman steal the spotlight again today!” Lin Feng declared boldly to Huang Jiyu.
“That’s what you said.” Huang Jiyu pointed at Lin Feng and then dragged him over to Zhang Xinran’s side.
Zhang Xinran gave them a cold glance and didn’t say a word.
“The second auction item is a diamond ring, symbolizing a love as enduring as a diamond, but it’s also different from an engagent ring in not being so solemn.
It’s brimming with the zest for life, like a sprightly sprite, constantly imbuing your finger with magic power!
Likewise, there are only thirty such rings in the entire world!” The auctioneer introduced the jewelry with flowery language before announcing, “The starting bid is 1.2 million!”
“1.3 million!”
“1.4 million!”
“…”
The price soared, quickly approaching a whopping 2 million big ones!
“2.1 million!” Zhang Xinran bid again, calling out another high price.
“2.1 million!
Is there any bid higher than 2.1 million?
Anybody?
Anyone at all?” The auctioneer looked around the room, finding no one else bidding, and after calling out three tis announced, “Sold for 2.1 million!”
“Zhang Xinran!
I’ll rember this woman’s na!
She really opened my eyes!”
“Remarkable grace!
Distinguished poise!
And such extraordinary beauty!”
“It’s that woman again, oh!
Really now, does her money just grow on trees?”
“So annoying!
Absolutely detestable!”
n and won had entirely different opinions about Zhang Xinran’s consecutive bids, and Huang Jiyu couldn’t resist making a snide comnt, “It seems so people can only afford cheap stuff now.”
“Right, I can only afford cheap stuff, unlike so people who can’t even afford that,” Zhang Xinran retorted without showing any weakness.
“We’ll see about that!
I’m set on getting ‘Dreamy Catherine’ today!” Huang Jiyu fiercely threw down the gauntlet to Zhang Xinran.
After several rounds of auctions, what Liu Hun hadn’t expected was Zhang Xinran ceding the jewelry she already had to Jiang Fengqin.
Seeing this, Liu Hun chuckled inwardly; his won really knew how to be considerate.
As the auction items one by one fell into the pockets of Zhang Xinran and Jiang Fengqin, the won who were holding their breath were eagerly waiting for “Dreamy Catherine” to make its appearance.
They were ready to vent the pent-up fury of the entire night, these opulently dressed won simply couldn’t tolerate being re background characters to Zhang Xinran and Jiang Fengqin sweeping the entire Cartier new collection auction.
They felt no different from soy sauce characters, already prepared to empty their n’s bank accounts if it ant winning the final bid!
The auctioneer, of course, knew the value of the last auction item, “Dreamy Catherine.” Therefore, after the penultimate item was sold, he waited half an hour before presenting “Dreamy Catherine” to everyone.
Laying his hand on the silk covering “Dreamy Catherine,” he slowly said, “There’s an ancient saying in China, ‘It takes ten years to sharpen a sword,’ and I think this saying perfectly reflects the value and quality of Dreamy Catherine.
In the eyes of Cartier’s designers, it isn’t just a piece of jewelry, or even surpassing an art piece, it is…”
As he spoke, the auctioneer partially lifted the silk to give the audience a glimpse of “Dreamy Catherine,” then he continued, “A dream of an angel, this dream is about love and belief, slowly taking shape in the mind of an angel, then descending to the Mortal World on a brilliantly starlit night.
It makes all the stars pale in comparison, it is…
‘Dreamy Catherine’!”
“Whooosh!” Following his words, the auctioneer swiftly unveiled the silk, revealing a 30-carat rare blue diamond necklace that dazzled onlookers, surrounded by hundreds of progressively smaller diamonds, exceptionally brilliant.
“Wow!!!”
“Oh my God!
My God!”
“This is ‘Dreamy Catherine,’ looking at it, I feel like I’m in a dream.”
“I swear I have to get it!!!”
“…”
Clearly, the appearance of “Dreamy Catherine” was even more captivating than the auctioneer’s rhetoric, as almost all the won exclaid in amazent, while the n were intoxicated by its splendor.
“This is a unique treasure in the world, and it will belong only to those who can truly appreciate it!
‘Dreamy Catherine’ starting bid…
70 million!”
“71 million!”
“75 million!”
“78 million!”
“…”
From the mont “Dreamy Catherine” was introduced, it caused a sensation in the room, with each bid practically leaping forward as if the won were filled with a frenetic energy, driving the price of “Dreamy Catherine” to nearly the 100 million mark.
