Mei Xiaobao curiously asked.
"Thinking of buying some jewelry."
Zhou Wang didn’t hide the truth and answered frankly.
Jewelry?
All the girls’ eyes lit up.
Based on their vague understanding of Zhou Wang’s financial capability, they naturally thought that whatever Zhou Wang was buying wouldn’t be ordinary stuff. It was highly likely to be the fabled high-custom jewelry. Suddenly, they all showed extremely interested expressions.
"Can we tag along and take a look?"
"Of course."
Zhou Wang nodded indifferently, not minding that none of the girls wanted to leave.
If they wanted to come and serve as his atmosphere group, then so be it... although it wouldn’t really boost his Reputation Value much.
Only Nala seemed to have thought of something, seizing the moment to walk over to Zhou Wang’s side. After hesitating, she quietly reminded him: "Mr. Zhou, I see Brioni is one of the organizers of today’s event. Could there be... some unexpected trouble?"
Zhou Wang looked up, glancing towards the backdrop wall in the hall.
Besides the extremely prominent Paris Chamber of Commerce logo at the top, there were two other logos side by side below, indicating today’s party was co-hosted by two major brands.
One came from the jewelry industry, being one of the top five giants, "Chaumet," and the other came from the clothing industry, a simple lettered logo representing the king of advanced men’s custom clothing, Brioni.
In fact, Zhou Wang had already noticed it and understood Nala’s concerns. After all, he had been "blacklisted" by Brioni. Zhou Wang still recalled Nala’s past message:
"They will never host you, never accept your orders, never attend any event you’re involved in..."
Sounds pretty badass, right?
Considering Brioni’s industry status, they certainly have the right to be that way.
Too bad... I’m a cheat-type player, not accepting any badassery.
So Zhou Wang simply smiled faintly, "Nala, do you remember what you said back then? People used to arrogance don’t easily bow their heads."
"Yes, yes, I remember... Back then, Mr. Zhou, you also said one day you would let them know some things aren’t accidental."
"Then let them choose whether that’s going to be today... To be honest, I just want to peacefully buy some stuff now, hopefully, they have some sense."
Zhou Wang chuckled, giving Nala a reassuring pat on her shoulder amidst her inexplicable look, "It’s alright, don’t worry."
Nala initially wanted to say more, but recalling the scene at the entrance, she merely nodded silently.
This man... has a way of instilling inexplicable confidence, huh.
Of course, Nala had already decided that if Brioni were really up to any mischief, she’d make sure to defend Zhou Wang’s honor even at any cost.
After all, Zhou Wang had invisibly "saved" her once again, and Nala no longer knew how to repay his grace...
Who’s to blame when she had already offered herself twice, yet Zhou Wang remained unmoved?
While Nala was lost in chaotic thoughts, Zhou Wang, heading towards the finished jewelry display area, casually mentioned: "By the way, can I call you Yanqiu... I still feel your original name sounds better."
Nala’s cheeks slightly reddened at his words, and she softly replied: "Actually, the name on my ID has never changed, it’s Wu Yanqiu. I’ve been thinking about changing it back lately."
"Then change it back, ’Nala’ always sounds a bit like kimchi, while ’Yanqiu’ has more flavor."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Nala obediently nodded at once.
After chatting with Nala... oh no, Wu Yanqiu, the group arrived at the jewelry exhibition area.
Under the illuminating high-beam lights, various styles of high-custom jewelry were displayed in different styled glass showcases. Not just the girls but even Zhou Wang felt a bit dazzled.
Ruby, sapphire, diamond, emerald, jade... various precious gems coupled with exquisite craft and unique designs shaped into jewelry pieces were akin to art pieces, shining with different hues under the lights.
There were a few interesting details.
For instance, not all jewelry had glass barriers; quite a bit was directly exposed in the showcases, within reach.
Moreover, jewelry was not presented individually but in sets, making Zhou Wang wonder.
Indeed, these luxury brands are ancestors when it comes to marketing.
Just like when you fancy a necklace in a showcase, but do you have the heart to only buy the necklace?
The designer has already bundled it for you, saying this necklace looks better paired with a bracelet, do you buy it?
Rings are also mostly paired, and matched with same-series earrings in the exhibition...
Not only that, in Bulgari’s area, they even thoughtfully prepared watches, with embedded matching-color gemstones, unique, no wonder even the girls around were starry-eyed, and Zhou Wang himself felt obliged to buy them all.
The most outrageous was LV; they even paired handbags with jewels for sale... Indeed as a luggage-originated luxury brand, they haven’t forgotten their roots even when selling jewelry.
In this area, what’s more than the number of guests were the sales associates distributed around various showcases.
There were both male and female associates, males seemed more professional, but naturally, Zhou Wang’s gaze lingered mostly on the female associates.
All with long-legged, foreign beauties, seemingly mixed-race among them, although not each one was stunning, there truly were many model-grade ones, standing there achieving a visually pleasing effect similar to the jewelry.
