The once secret room at the back of Uncle Zhi's shop had been converted into an office space for the middle-aged man. He felt that there was no need to make it a secret anymore as others know about it.
It didn't take long before Lu Tian and Uncle Zhi finished their cup of tea and were now getting to business.
Lu Tian stood in front of table. He held his chin with a profoundly serious expression on his face. Anyone who sees him would mistake him for a mighty general thinking of a battle plan for war.
However, that was not the case.
Scattered on top of the table, Uncle Zhi had selected all the top-quality blueprints and details of different rings and diamonds. Although the ring blueprints were like every other design out there, the diamonds were not. Each one is from a different country and the most exquisite one ever to be found.
"Any of these catches your eyes?"
Uncle Zhi couldn't help but question as he stood on the other side of the table. It has been almost an hour since he laid out the blueprints. However, even until now, Lu Tian has not picked up a single piece of paper.
After a few seconds of not answering, Lu Tian finally made a move. His hand holding his chin lowers and he reach for a ring blueprint.
It was simple halo style ring with a square diamond.
"Yue Ling would like this more than the others."
He hands the blueprint to Uncle Zhi then reaches for two more blueprints. However, this time they were of diamonds.
"As for the diamonds, I want these two."
Uncle Zhi held the three blueprints in his hands and carefully observe them. As a professional jeweler, he has to admit, Lu Tian has good eyesight.
Although the two diamonds picked were the smallest from the rest, they were the only two worth more. As for the ring style, he also agrees that Yue Ling would prefer this choice over the others.
Lu Tian waited until Uncle Zhi had taken a good look at the three blueprints. His hand reaches for another and he gives it to the middle-aged man.
"Have the two diamonds craft into this style."
Surprised that there was a fourth blueprint, Uncle Zhi was dumbfounded. However, reminding himself that this is for Yue Ling, he casually takes the paper to take a look. When he saw the style, he arch a brow in amusement.
"Are you sure about this one?"
Lu Tian kept a calm expression and answers with an affirmative mm. He made sure to check each blueprint thoroughly as this is a ring for his wife. He wants her to have the best of best.
Staring at the young man across from him, Uncle Zhi ponder in thoughts. However, it was a quick thought as he smiles and nod his head.
"Alright, that settles it then. I will make sure to have this ring done exactly as you instructed."
A very faint smile curls on Lu Tian's lip. He found Uncle Zhi to be a very interesting person. A part of him can't help but wonder why he has never met the man in the past. If he did, he would not hesitate to convince the man to be on his side.
However, if he did that, he would probably end up as an enemy of his wife and Fate.
As he thought this, he checks the time on his watch. To his surprise, he had stayed here longer than he had planned.
"How soon can you have it made?"
Hearing the question, Uncle Zhi looks down at the four blueprints in his hands. He held them like they were poker cards and carefully estimate the procedures of crafting a ring.
"Usually, it would take about 4 to 6 weeks, but I can have it done within 2 weeks."
Lu Tian had maintained his posure, but when he saw Uncle Zhi's thinking face, he didn't even realize that he was holding in his breath. However, when he heard the man's answer, he found himself being able to breathe again.
He wanted to have the ring crafted as soon as possible. It's not that he didn't like seeing his wife wear L'amour de ma vie. He wanted to design a ring specifically for her.
Just like Shin, he hopes that this ring will symbolize his love for her. That way, every time she looks at it, she will think about him and know that he loves her every second of the day.
Lu Tian reach into his coat pocket and retrieves his wallet. Opening it, he takes out two black bankcards and hands them across the table to Uncle Zhi.
"There is 900 million yuan in each of these two cards. If you need more, I will transfer it to one of the two cards."
Staring at the cards, Uncle Zhi's eyes widen in surprise. His jaw slowly drops leaving his mouth opened agape. Was this luck or fate that he is given this opportunity?
It was not the amount that was in the card, but the card itself. As a gold card member, he has never seen a black card in person before.
However, his eyes blinked confusingly when he thought about Lu Tian's words.
"Why are you giving me two cards?"
Oblivious to the man's inner thoughts, Lu Tian close his wallet and put it away.
"One is for purchasing the diamonds and materials needed for the ring. The other is yours for your hard labor."
His words fell and he walks around the table to leave the shop. Once he gets back to Lu Corps, he will be stuck in more meetings. However, if he can finish them early, he can go steal his wife back from his mother, aunt and cousin.
Holding the two cards in his hands, Uncle Zhi could not believe his eyes at all. He slowly turns to look at Lu Tian's departing figure.
After a long minute, he sighs inside and shook his head. He knew that Lu Tian is a businessman, but if he had known that Lu Tian was such a great business partner, he would have worked with the boy from the very start.
While Lu Tian drove back to Lu Corps, Yue Ling, Zhao Ya'Er, Madam Lu and Madam Zhao were also leaving Harmony Destination Spa.
The four women had enjoyed a relaxing time in the hot spring and were now full of energy to go on a shopping spree for themselves.
Madam Lu and Madam Zhao arrived together with Lu family's chauffer. However, wanting to spend some extra quality time with the two younger women, Madam Lu dismissed the chauffer home. She and Madam Zhao can carpool in Zhao Ya'Er's car as there was enough room.
As the four women made their way back to the busy part of Imperial, Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er sat in the front while the two older women sat in the backseat. However, the car ride was not in silence.
Zhao Ya'Er played music loudly as they all karaoke like they were performing on stage.
Between each chorus, the sound of their heartfelt laughter would collide together as this was a moment worth remembering for them.
