"Your name sounds really oriental..."

Feng Lan slowly walked towards the banquet hall upstairs, and White followed her like a butterfly attracted by a priceless gem. Every time the light reflected by the gem made him more energetic, he was thinking about how much money he could get after winning over this wealthy female noble. However, any piece of jewelry she had was very valuable.

Halfway through the conversation, he couldn't help but start asking about the origins of these jewels. After all, he had never seen such large jewels that would definitely cause a sensation at an auction.

"Oh, you mean these jewels? They're just trinkets, not worth much."

Feng Lan explained lightly, the yellow sapphire ring on her hand, as big as a pigeon egg, gleaming brightly under the lights of the banquet, especially the sparkling diamond headdress on her head inlaid with gemstones, which matched Feng Lan's fair oval face and reflected the dim light, making her look even more beautiful and wealthy.

This immediately attracted many ladies to inquire.

Of course, I'm not asking about diamonds. After all, diamonds are not mainstream yet. It was not until the 1990s that they became popular among the public with a wonderful marketing campaign and became an expensive item with doubled value. Now, gemstones with bright colors and large sizes are the treasures.

The most famous one is the Heart of the Ocean. The heart-shaped sapphire inlaid on that necklace was auctioned for a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars!

But now, it's being auctioned for $220 million, and it's expected to appreciate further in value.

Feng Lan smiled and used the life story she had prepared in her memory to polish it up while communicating with these ladies. At this moment, the simple little black dress that was out of place on her also became a kind of uninhibited and romantic fashion.

Even though everyone else was wearing a puffy long dress supported by a wide skirt, revealing her plump breasts and wearing a gorgeous hat, her whole body was full of the elegance and nobility of the old times. Some people speculated that she was the lover of a jewelry tycoon, otherwise how could she have so many expensive gem jewelry.

"Good day, ma'am. You have a lovely dress on. I don't think I've seen it in any of those new London magazines. It's a beautiful design."

"Oh, this is a fashion trend from the East. Our tailors who traveled across the ocean got some inspiration from the Eastern cheongsam. It's very slimming, isn't it? It's also very comfortable and beautiful."

Feng Lan pointed out the small details on the skirt. The veil on her shoulders blocked the cold night wind for her. The "simple" and luxurious combination was indeed refreshing. The other ladies seemed to be thinking about something.

After all, the bourgeoisie is rising, and there are new atmospheres in all walks of life. There are indeed many popular outfits in those magazines. The reason why Feng Lan is speculated by others to be a lover is precisely because of her obvious "new" temperament, the kind of unruly nature that only the bourgeoisie has.

Oh, of course, there were also those who looked down on her, proud of their aristocratic etiquette and arrogance.

Feng Lan accepted the contact information of these noble ladies, although the persuasiveness of her words mostly came from the expensive jewelry on her body. After all, how could upper-class people with such expensive jewelry deceive them?

As for the original owner's investment method, Feng Lan would definitely not spend so much effort lobbying, but he also left a chance for the original owner.

After all, the easiest way to make money in this world is through women, children and pets. The original owner could just go into the clothing business. Don't look at it in a shabby way, it makes a lot of money. In time, these ladies will become her helpers. Oh, if most of them are still alive. But there are indeed more women and children who survived the Titanic than men, right?

Secondly, after this incident, Feng Lan was able to initially integrate into the crowd and left an impression in front of the distinguished first-class passengers. At least if an accident happened in the future, these people could become one of her bargaining chips.
