Chapter 141 Participating in the Jewelry Exhibition 5

Xia held up her phone and filmed a video. Satisfied, she put the phone down and said, "Handsome, handsome. I never thought that celebrities would be even more handsome in real life than on TV."

"Does Lawyer Xia also follow celebrities?" Xiaomeng asked, eating a piece of snail.

"It's not about idol worship, everyone has someone to eat with."

Lately, my go-to show to watch while eating is this historical drama where he plays the male lead, and it's quite enjoyable to watch. Xia is being very honest.

Xiao Tang asked, "Would you like to take a picture with him? I can help you find someone to take you to take a picture with him."

Xia was a little surprised, "Really? Is it that easy to take a photo together?"

“Why not? It’s basic stuff.” Xiao Tang took out his phone. A moment later, a customer manager with a Bluetooth earpiece in his ear came over, introduced himself as Xiao Liu from Zhou’s, and accepted the task with a big smile. He then took Xia out to make the arrangements.

At this point, the French meal began with the second main course, and a waiter asked Xiaomeng whether she wanted deep-sea fish or beef.

Like Xiao Tang, Xiao Meng also chose pan-fried steak. At Xiao Tang's suggestion, she chose red wine to accompany the meal. Red wine with red meat is supposedly a rule, but Xiao Meng didn't understand it and could only listen to Xiao Tang's explanation.

After the top male celebrity left the stage, two female celebrities came on stage, one a singer and the other a movie star. Both of them had amazing makeup and styling. Standing together, one was pure and innocent, and the other was aloof and beautiful, like an angel and a succubus.

Women wear far more jewelry than men.

Their heads, ears, necks, wrists, and fingers were all covered in them. There were even instances of wearing them on top of each other.

Fortunately, the designer still had rationality and professionalism, and did not just focus on piling things up without considering aesthetics.

The jewelry worn by the female celebrities is quite harmonious when matched together.

Xiaomeng was so focused on their beauty and jewelry that she didn't even notice what they were singing.

Xiao Tang asked curiously, "That ring on your finger might be more expensive than all of their clothes combined, why are you looking at it so seriously?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone covered in so much jewelry in real life. What's wrong with taking a second look?"

These beauties are so thin, even thinner than on TV! That must be what they call having a small frame.

"I've noticed you really like colored gemstones. Is that a chrysoberyl in your hand? It's so big," Xiao Tang asked, looking at her hand.

With such a large cat's-eye ring on Xiaomeng's hand, it's hard not to notice it.

“Yes, I bought it at an auction. Would you like to see it? It’s an 18th-century Russian antique, from the Tsarist royal family.” Xiaomeng took the large ring off her finger.

"It really is an antique?" Xiao Tang picked up the Russian-made golden-green cat's-eye stone. "It's so beautiful! The light in the middle is so narrow. This is a really good piece. How much did you pay for it?"

"I think it was a million, but I can't remember exactly (because I bought too many random things at once)."

"It can't be that cheap. You've got a steal. Russia doesn't mine chrysoberyl much anymore. This one looks to be 20 carats. If this ring finds a suitable European buyer, the price will be more than ten times higher."

"Is it really that good? I don't know, I just think its color is so sparkly and beautiful, and since nobody else seems to like taking pictures, I decided to take one." Xiaomeng tried to recall, what was this gemstone, maybe nineteen or twenty carats?

"This kind of golden-green cat's-eye gemstone is considered a relatively niche gemstone in China, so the price is not high, but it still has a good market in Europe."

"I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about jewelry?"

"No, no, it's just that I've seen and heard a lot, so I know a little bit."

While the two were chatting and enjoying dessert, Lawyer Xia returned, her face flushed with excitement.

She seemed quite satisfied.

"It's really interesting to have the chance to see a live celebrity," Xia commented on her experience.

As the performances on stage came to a preliminary end, the main event of the jewelry appreciation concert was just beginning.

Following the host's introduction, models adorned with jewelry appeared on the runway.

The models were dressed in high-end designer clothes, paired with Zhou's jewelry, and each of them was made up to look stunningly beautiful.

The jewelry shelves lined up and slowly moved between the guests' seats, allowing them to observe the items closely.

Xiaomeng asked Xiaotang, "How do I know the price of these jewels?"

Xiao Tang waved, and someone brought in a jewelry catalog. "Hey, didn't you do any research before coming to this event?"

Xiaomeng ignored his sarcasm and opened the jewelry catalog on her own.

Fortunately, the jewelry on display ranged in value from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Xiaomeng only bought one Ruby Set, and that completed today's million-dollar daily task.

Xiaomeng reluctantly discussed with the system, "Why don't you accumulate the daily tasks before releasing them?"

For example, change the daily task of 100 million to a weekly task of 700 million.

This way, the task amount remains the same, but it's more convenient for her.

Because when you walk into a jewelry store, 1 million won't buy you many things. But you might spend 1 million on jewelry most of the time, often buying gold.
