“Qianshu, are you going to go for quality inspection? Let me fetch you. It’s on the way for me too.”
“I am going to Spring Court Fair.” Shen Qianshu pointed towards the opposite direction.
Li Zhiyuan smoothly changed his words and said, “Oh, what a coincidence! I am going to Spring Court Fair too! Let’s go together!”
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
What happened to going in the quality inspection’s direction?
It was rush hour, and it was quite difficult to hail a taxi. Her house was considered far from the office, and every day, she would have to pass by the place with the heaviest traffic. There was a train station right outside her house; thus, Shen Qianshu always took the train to work. She could reach the office in half an hour and was never late. Thus, she avoided driving as much as possible.
She did not reject Li Zhiyuan’s offer too.
“Why are you going to Spring Court Fair?”
“To gather some samples.” This was not considered a business secret.
Shen Qianshu said, “There is a batch of jade and colored gemstones from Myanmar being shipped into City A, and most were shipped to Spring Court Fair. There were rumors that they were high quality counterfeits, and many professional appraisers can’t identify whether they are real or fake. I am going there to gather information.”
“Gubelin’s appraisers need to do this kind of job?”
“Of course. What if one day someone sends his jewel for inspection, and we issued a certificate only to realise later that we actually made a mistake? Our reputation will be ruined.”
“Spring Court Fair is very popular lately. I also heard some rumors. Do you mind if I go with you?” Li Zhiyuan gently said.
“Are you not busy?” It was during office hours.
“Not at all when it comes to accompanying a beauty like you.”
“… Up to you. Just don’t disturb me when I’m working.”
Spring Court Fair was very crowded.
It was considered a tourist attraction, and tourists were all strolling leisurely in front of all the different jewelry shops, hoping to make a satisfactory purchase.
Li Zhiyuan said, “I come to Spring Court Fair frequently too, and sometimes I would manage to buy a few pieces of good jewelry.”
“Depends on your luck,” Shen Qianshu said.
It was really crowded, and it would be very difficult to spot Chen Qiuxiang. Shen Qianshu decided to send her a text instead, and the two split up to gather information. Every shop had many people, and Shen Qianshu realised that colored gemstones were very attractive in these past few years and that they had a very big market.
Other than the expensive sapphire, ruby, and emerald, colored gemstones were really popular with customers due to them being cheap and also beautiful.
There were tourmaline, crystal, agate, amber, garnet, and peridot—all part of colored gemstones.
There was a huge crowd in front of one of the topaz stores.
Li Zhiyuan was dazzled by the many shops.
Shen Qianshu visited many shops but did not buy anything at all. Li Zhiyuan asked, “Didn’t you come to collect samples? Why didn’t you buy anything? I saw a few that were counterfeit products.”
“CEO Li, for those that you saw were fake using your naked eye, I can also tell. They are obviously not the samples I’m looking for. If they were so easy to spot, they wouldn’t be called high-quality counterfeits.”
Li Zhiyuan sighed. “… So straightforward!”
He was dismissed so directly.
“Miss Shen, I thought I saw the wrong person!” A middle-aged man smiled and came forward to greet her. Shen Qianshu took a glance and realised that it was her client, Ye Guanjun. This name had a very deep meaning and left a very deep impression on her. When she first interacted with him, she was very surprised that Ye Guanjun was a really nice person, and he treated the few appraisers really well too. He was the boss of a pawn shop.
“CEO Ye, such a coincidence!”
“Yes, yes. I can’t believe I am able to meet you here. By the way, I have a favor to ask from you.” Ye Guanjun laughed and passed her a box.
Shen Qianshu opened the box, and inside was a jade bracelet, very bright in color. From the look of the naked eye, it was a very beautiful and valuable bracelet.
Li Zhiyuan said, “So beautiful.”
Ye Guanjun glanced at him and said, “This is?”
