Inherit For Three Thousand Years

But laymen don't know that the value of a pearl necklace depends on three factors. In addition to the size, the shape and luster of the pearl are also an important part of determining the value of the pearl.

In addition to the relatively large size, the beads of this necklace are relatively poor in shape and luster. The beads on the necklace are not perfect circles, but close to perfect circles, but they are basically invisible to the naked eye. The sheen is also less glossy, which would be very noticeable if there were any contrast.

Xiao Yao didn't want Jiang Liao's petty thinking to succeed, so he immediately answered, "I have a little research on jewelry, especially the price of pearl jewelry, and I can be regarded as an expert. This pearl necklace is really good, and the shape of the pearl is relatively large. , but the roundness and gloss are a bit poor, and the price in specialty stores should be around 20,000 to 30,000."

When Xiao Yao's words fell to the ground, everyone present looked at Jiang Liao with a strange look in their eyes.

If Tian Qingyuan hadn't stated his price judgment just now, then everyone would not have any idea. After all, even if the price of this string of pearl necklaces is only 20,000 to 30,000, it is still a relatively precious gift. Jiang Liao's heart It's also thick enough.

A gift worth only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, but Tian Qingyuan said that the value of this gift is at least a hundred thousand yuan, which is too big a gap. Perhaps Tian Qingyuan really didn't know the real value of this gift, after all it was just a guess, and it might be wrong, which is understandable.

But Jiang Liao's approach is beyond comprehension.

His friend publicly guessed that the price of this gift was more than 100,000 yuan, but he, the person involved, followed his friend's wishes and misled everyone present, making everyone mistakenly believe that the value of this pearl necklace is indeed more than 100,000 yuan.

Not to mention that most of the people present here are soldiers with straightforward personalities, even a group of tactful social people will definitely dislike Jiang Liao's small thoughts.

Under the attention of everyone, even Jiang Liao had always been thick-skinned, but he couldn't help showing embarrassment.

As Jiang Liao's only friend among the people present, Tian Qingyuan quickly smoothed things over and said, "It's all because of my mouth, and I don't have anyone to handle it. I'm obviously an outsider, but I pretended to be an insider. I used to A friend also bought a similar necklace. I think it is about the same. I thought it would cost hundreds of thousands. I didn’t expect that there are so many talks about pearl appraisal. I really learned a lot today. Thanks to Xiao Yao who taught us a lesson today, otherwise , if I also want to buy a pearl necklace in the future, I will definitely suffer a big loss."

Taking advantage of Tian Qingyuan's speaking, Jiang Liao regained his composure, and quickly remedied: "Thanks to Mr. Xiao's reminder, even I myself don't know the real value of this pearl necklace. I have a relative who is He was in the pearl business and owed our family a big favor before. When I went to buy a pearl necklace from him this time, he didn’t charge for life or death. Even I thought this necklace was worth at least a hundred thousand yuan. Unexpectedly It's only twenty or thirty thousand."

After saying this,

Jiang Liao immediately changed the subject, and said to Cao Xin, "Reporter Cao, be careful, I hope you can accept it."

Of course, Cao Xin would not accept Jiang Liao's gift, she simply refused, "I accept it, but I really can't accept the gift, you can come to my birthday party, this is already the best gift."

Jiang Liao had already realized that he was rejected by Cao Xin, and said regretfully, "I was the one who was abrupt. If I knew that Xiang Xiang would be able to confess his love today, I wouldn't have prepared this gift."

Then he turned his head and said to the direction: "Lao Fang confessed today that he also prepared roses. It seems that it was premeditated. What gift did you prepare for Reporter Cao today? Take it out quickly. Reporter Cao is unwilling to accept my gift, but I am definitely happy to accept your gift, it should be regarded as a token of love between you and Reporter Cao, such a commemorative gift, just happens to open our eyes."

Fang Fang didn't expect Jiang Liao to be so thick-skinned and so dark-minded. He said this deliberately, if he couldn't come up with a substantial gift, he would lose face, and even Cao Xin would lose face too.

But he really didn't think so much, he wasn't prepared at all, how could he come up with a gift as a token of love?

It was not his idea to prepare this bouquet of roses today, it was the result of brainstorming by comrades in arms. Apart from this bouquet of roses, he didn't make any other preparations, and he didn't have anything on him, so he was destined to be unable to come up with a gift to confess his love.

Just when he was quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say, he suddenly realized that something was stuffed in the palm of Xiao Yao's hand.

Then he heard Xiao Yao whisper in his ear: "This is a pearl necklace, it's a gift I sponsored to pick up girls for you, hurry up, don't lose the chain."

At this time, face is important. With Xiao Yao's assist, Fang Fang naturally gained confidence. He stood up and said, "I also prepared a pearl necklace for Cao Xin. Although it is definitely not suitable for Cao Xin, it is mine. A little thought, I hope Cao Xin likes it."

While Xiang Xiang was speaking, he handed the jewelry box in Cao Xin's hand.

This time, Cao Xin did not refuse, she took the gift generously, and then opened the jewelry box under everyone's gaze, and a dazzling pearl necklace immediately dazzled everyone's eyes.

If the pearl necklace Jiang Liao sent just now was considered quite precious, then the pearl necklace sent in this direction can be called real jewelry.

This pearl necklace consists of a total of 27 extremely rare Nanyang white pearls, each of which is about the same size and looks very large. If observed with the naked eye, the diameter should be close to 20 mm.

When it comes to the appreciation of pearls among the people present, apart from Xiao Yao, Jiang Liao should be the most professional, and even Cao Xin is slightly inferior.

The first time Jiang Liao saw this string of pearl necklaces, his face changed slightly, and he immediately realized that he might be slapped in the face again.

From his point of view, the diameter of each pearl on the necklace should be about 18 mm, and the shape of the pearl is huge and round, the pearl color is silvery white with pink iridescence, the pearl layer is thick and pure, and the skin light is jumping and dazzling. Has a mirror finish.

Needless to say, the 27 top-quality pearls are all jewelry-grade. Jiang Liao estimated that the price of this string of pearl necklaces should be at least 1.5 million yuan, and even 2 million yuan is very likely.

Compared with this string of jewelry-grade pearl necklaces, the pearl necklace he took out earlier was not enough to look at at all. The gap was so big that it was obvious at a glance.

At this moment, Jiang Liao's face was hot. He felt that it was a mistake to attend Cao Xin's birthday party today. In his nearly 30 years of life, he has never been so ashamed as today.

Cao Xin was also amazed when she saw the string of pearl necklaces in the box.

Just admiring this string of pearl necklaces is already immersive, and it will definitely be more enjoyable if you wear it around your neck.

Twenty-seven orbs, each one is a treasure of the sea, the brilliance circulates, the precious light is dim, no woman can refuse her temptation.

Seeing Cao Xin's fascinated look, Fang Xiang was very happy and couldn't help asking again: "Do you like it? Just wear it if you like it."

"I like it very much." Cao Xin took the string of pearl necklace out of the jewelry box, admired it for a while, and then put it on her neck.

Cao Xin was already very beautiful, plus she had a slender neck and fair skin. After wearing this string of jewel-grade pearl necklaces, she looked even more extravagant, demure and dignified.

Both being women, Cao Xin's two best friends couldn't help showing envious expressions.

The first gift her boyfriend gave her, even if it was an ordinary little thing, Cao Xin would be very happy. Although Cao Xin was even more happy that the gift was so precious, she still couldn't help asking, "This gift is too expensive. Where did you get it?"

Fang Fang's brain is not that fast, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiao Yao hurriedly answered, "It seems that Fang Xiang has really made the best preparations for today's confession, and even prepared the family heirloom in advance. Although I have only seen this family heirloom of yours twice, But the impression is too deep, and I certainly won’t admit it.”

Cao Xin was of course even more satisfied when she heard that this was actually an heirloom of the old Fang family. Fang Xiang gave her the family heirloom, and his intentions were already exposed. Knowing her boyfriend's intentions, Cao Xin was moved, not to mention how moved she was.

Xiao Yao lied to him, and of course he had to follow his words: "Our family is an ordinary family, and the only thing that can be sold is this family heirloom. Fortunately, this necklace is very suitable for you. .”

All the men present, except Jiang Liao and Xiang Xiang, did not prepare gifts for Cao Xin alone. Xiao Yao naturally wanted to follow the trend, so he did not give gifts out of his own.

As Cao Xin's two girlfriends in Siping City, Yi Rongrong and Chu Xiaorui also gave a small gift. Although the price is not high, they are both quite practical. It is obvious that the two of them have put a lot of thought into preparation.

After Fang Xiang made his confession, his comrades were all happy for him, and they were very excited. Naturally, they drank a lot more. Unknowingly, there were 14 more empty wine bottles in the corner of the private room.

The meal lasted until nearly three o'clock before it ended under Cao Xin's reminder.

Of course, Jiang Liao was the one who paid the bill at the end. Considering that it was unavoidable to pay the bill, Jiang Liao subconsciously thought of making the most of the money he spent.

Instead of going to the bar to check out, he called the waiter over.

"Sir, what's your order?" the waiter asked politely.

"Check out."

"please wait."

The waiter quickly brought over the bill, handed the bill to Jiang Liao, and said, "The total price of food and drinks is 71,500 yuan, and you only need to pay us 70,000 yuan."

Jiang Liao had long been prepared to be brutally slaughtered, but the price of this meal exceeded 70,000 yuan, which still made it a little difficult for him to take over.

Fang Xiang and his comrades were also shocked when they heard that the meal had cost more than 70,000 yuan, and felt a little ashamed for a while, thinking that it seemed a bit too much for Jiang Liu to spend so much money today.

Jiang Liao's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't say it out, this feeling was too aggrieved.

After roughly looking at the bill in his hand, Jiang Liao didn't have the nerve to recalculate the amount on the bill in front of so many people.

Jiang Liao took out a card and swiped it directly.

After today's birthday party was over, Xiao Yao really wanted to hold back Fang Xiang and have a good chat with him about each other's current situation, but thinking that today was the first day of Xiang Fang's and Cao Xin's dating, he didn't bother them.

Xiang Xiang had a two-day vacation, spent the afternoon with Cao Xin, and then separated from him in the evening.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao received a call from Xiang Xiang, somewhat surprised, he didn't say much on the phone, but just made an appointment with him.

Walking into the presidential suite of the hotel, Fang Fang felt that everything was very fresh. He walked around first, then sat down opposite Xiao Yao, and said, "You big capitalists really enjoy it. A temporary sleeping place is actually decorated. It's so luxurious, I'm tmd envious."

"What's there to be envious of? You can live in anytime you want. I'll open another room later, and I'll let you live in this presidential suite. You can call Reporter Cao in a while, and stay in the presidential suite. I think it must be a different kind of experience to experience the feeling of the wedding night in the bridal chamber." Xiao Yao began to make a move.

"Cao Xin is a very conservative person. I just confessed my love to her today, and now I want to have sex with her. Do you think it's appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? You don't have a few days off in a year, and you get together less and leave more. If you can't seize the opportunity, when will you take her down completely? You have to remember that you are in love with ordinary people Not the same, time is very precious to you, you must be efficient. If you are embarrassed to call, how about I call her and ask her to come?" Xiao Yao spared no effort to encourage.

As a vigorous and vigorous man, Fang Xiang certainly had such a wish, but he finally gave up, saying: "I think this kind of efficiency is a bit too high, let's wait for the next opportunity."

Xiao Yao scolded with hatred: "You are a coward, don't you just sleep with a woman, what is there to be afraid of? Even if she doesn't want to, it's not too late for you to accept it when you see it, the first time you don't If it succeeds, it will most likely succeed next time."

"I'm not a playboy like you. You'd better not meddle in my affairs. I'll take care of it myself."

Xiao Yao's instigation did not have the desired effect.

Fang Xiang then changed the topic and said: "The pearl necklace you prepared for me is too expensive. If I knew that such a necklace was worth two million, then I would not want it. Cao Xin is not that kind of vain woman, She doesn't have such high demands on material things, if I give her a small gift, she will be very happy."
