Beigeli Anniversary Celebration
Gu Zichen sat opposite Zheng Cheng, his face flushed, clutching the hem of his clothes and lowering his head, completely different from the arrogant state he had at the birthday party that day.
"Alright, you've already apologized, why are you acting so pathetic?" Zheng Miao advised, "Chengcheng, you too, stop looking sour all the time."
"I'm not against him either." Zheng Cheng glanced at Zheng You beside him.
"What? I can't come?" Zheng Liu sighed.
For Begley’s anniversary celebration, celebrities from the Shanghai circle were invited to visit in advance. The three people from the Zheng family met Gu Zichen at the door and sat with him.
"Sisi didn't come today. Is it because you are still angry?" Gu Zichen asked Zheng Miao, who seemed the most polite, in a low voice.
"She's here because of her audition today." Zheng Miao smiled and responded gently, "Zi Chen, don't be so nervous. We've moved on, right, Cheng Cheng?"
"Yes." Zheng Cheng imitated his sister's tone.
Luckily I dodged quickly, otherwise I would have been stepped on, hehe.
"Hey, Zichen, how are the documents for your linens going? The linens in our California store are really not good now, so it's best for us to continue using yours." Zheng Liu interrupted.
"Oh, Brother Liu, I heard that the higher-ups have already given the nod, and we'll have news next week." When talking about the family business, Gu Zichen showed a calmness that didn't belong to his age.
"That's great. You can keep an eye on it for me." Zheng You nodded, then smiled wickedly. "Young Master Gu is so young, yet he has full control over the company's business. He really has a bright future ahead of him."
These words sounded like praise for Gu Zichen, but in fact... Zheng Miao secretly glanced at Zheng Cheng out of the corner of his eye.
"What do you want to buy today?" Zheng Cheng asked Gu Zichen.
"Ah, I... I heard that Begley invited the Zheng family today, and I thought Sisi would come too..." Gu Zichen was immediately brought back to his original form and returned to his previous awkward state.
This guy is really in love with Zheng Sisi. Knowing that Sisi is too lazy to pay attention to him, he still comes here to wait.
"What a pity, I didn't see the beautiful lady, but only saw the horse-faced man." Zheng Cheng fiddled with his bracelet.
Zheng Liu's horse face became even longer.
Who told you to play tricks on me just now? Zheng Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the tourbillon black diamond watch on Gu Zichen's wrist, and said with a smile: "Zichen is really sensible. He knew that it was my anniversary and changed his watch to a Begli."
Gu Zichen didn't expect to be praised by Zheng Cheng, and smiled sincerely: "You're too kind, Brother Cheng. I still understand this little bit of etiquette."
Basic etiquette for Lao Qian is to wear clothes from the same brand when attending events invited by luxury brands to show respect. Zheng Cheng and Zheng Miao each wore a classic snake bracelet and snake chain from Bégley, and this attention to detail has long been engraved in their DNA.
Zheng Liu on the side pulled his sleeves and quickly hid the old strongman Green Water Ghost into his sleeves.
whee.
"Excuse me for waiting, ladies and gentlemen," the store manager said, leading a group of staff upstairs, where trays covered in black cloth were placed in a row. "Thank you for visiting our anniversary exhibition. Please enjoy the jewelry on display."
The black cloth was lifted, and the rainbow-like jewels shone brightly on the black velvet tray. Each piece was exquisite, luxurious and dazzling. The clerk showed them to the people present one by one.
Bored, Zheng Cheng yawned.
He had nothing to do every day after dropping out of school, and his family had sent him to various jewelry exhibitions, but he was already tired of it. If he hadn't been helping Chen Min pick out a birthday present today, he wouldn't have bothered to come.
He was browsing WeChat and saw the final version of the video had been sent to him, but he didn't want to open it at all.
【Send it.】
He closed his eyes and replied with two words.
That day, Xiao Ming sent the slice to Hu Hanyu for his judgment. As soon as the sun rose, he received a screenshot from the other side, which showed Zheng Cheng's ugly face with two big words: disgust.
Xiao Ming showed him Zhou Min's evaluation again, which stopped Zheng Cheng from hiring a killer.
【Zhou Min: Isn't this just the usual Zheng Cheng?】
Is my face usually this stinky?!
"I see that mom has a lot of jadeite, so does that mean she won't consider emeralds?" Zheng You asked Zheng Miao in a low voice.
"It's different. The emerald cabochon just now is so beautiful." Zheng Miao was looking at it happily. "Hey, Chengcheng, look at that Fanta stone and peridot necklace."
"Yeah, it feels like I'm wearing a bunch of carrots around my neck." Zheng Cheng supported his head and looked at it lazily.
The square-buckled kitten heel hovered on the tip of his leather shoe for two seconds, and Zheng Cheng immediately changed his tone with a smile: "But it's quite unique. Fanta stone is very popular this year."
Begley's colored gemstones are rich in design and exquisite inlay craftsmanship, and all the young men and women present were amazed.
"How much is this?" a gentleman asked, pointing to the bunch of carrots.

The clerk smiled politely and whispered the price in his ear.
"Sir, you have great taste. These 12 Fanta stones were personally selected by our French design director. Will they be delivered to your home after the exhibition?" the clerk asked.
The gentleman twitched his lips and said, "Oh, it's 12. My wife doesn't like even numbers. What a pity."
"I remembered that my girlfriend's zodiac sign is pig, which is in conflict with snake, so let's forget about this bracelet." Another gentleman said with an awkward smile after asking the price.
If you can't even afford it at such a low price, then don't ask the price. Zheng Cheng looked at the same diamond-encrusted snake bracelet on his hand, the only difference was that his eyes were emeralds, while his were sapphires.
It’s only about 600,000 yuan, all broken diamonds.
"This! I want it." A strong voice came from the corner, placing the first order of the day for Begli Longheng store.
Who is it? Zheng Cheng asked as he looked over. Oh, isn’t this the prince of Beijing circle, Guo Zengchen?
"Mr. Guo, you are so generous!" The follower he brought with him gave a thumbs up.
Guo Shao and the others are familiar with each other. He is the eldest son of a famous real estate tycoon in the capital. The Guo and Zheng families are a bit like "Zheng in the South and Guo in the North", and they are all big names in the local circle.
"What is he here for?" Zheng Liu muttered, his face would be mopped if it got any longer.
Guo Zengchen and Zheng Liu are American alumni. When he was in school, he was a school bully, arrogant and domineering, and Zheng Liu suffered a lot from him.
Originally, he didn't want to waste time talking to him, but when Guo Shao saw Zheng You, his eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't this Kaolin? Are you here to buy goods too?"
As he spoke, Guo Zengchen and his followers squeezed to the side of Zheng's house, and Gu Zichen and others who were sitting there immediately moved away automatically.
"Just looking around and buying a gift for my mother." Zheng Liu forced a smile.
"Mother, which mother are you?" Guo Zengchen's loud voice attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Zheng Liu's face turned pale.
"Oh! It's the one who's at the Zheng Mansion now, right? Oh, look, Master Kaolin is actually quite sensible." Guo Zengchen explained loudly to the attendant beside him, "You know, he has two mothers."
"Guo Cenchen, I didn't offend you, did I?" Zheng Lu's face turned from pale to red as he suppressed his anger.
"I'm sorry now." Guo Shao twisted a shiny jade token in his hand and looked him up and down, shaking his feet: "Is my name so difficult to pronounce?"
Guo Zengchen's name was a challenge for southerners who couldn't distinguish between front and back nasal sounds. Zheng Liu had been picked on by him for this many times before.
A few young men and women from the Shanghai circle were whispering to each other not far away. They seemed to be admiring the jewelry, but they were actually secretly paying attention to the movements over there.
Zheng Lu is not Chen Min's child. His biological mother abandoned the frustrated Zheng Yuan and 5-year-old Zheng Lu and ran away with a Hong Kong businessman. It was the secretary Chen Min who stayed with him and used her dowry to support Zheng Yuan through the difficulties and make a comeback, which led to the current Zheng family.
Zheng Lu's background is his weak point. Over the years, the Zheng family has maintained a solid position in the Shanghai circle, and no one dares to mention this past event casually. The prince of the Beijing circle usually runs rampant and does not take Zheng Lu seriously at all.
"Mr. Guo, my brother and sister are here. Stop joking." Zheng Lu forced a few laughs, trying to fool him.
"Oh, well, your eldest brother and I went to the same school and we're acquaintances." Guo Zengchen glanced at Zheng Miao and Zheng Cheng, raised his head and smiled, "You guys continue picking things, and I'll catch up with your eldest brother."
The atmosphere reluctantly returned to normal, and several people were admiring the jewelry, but Zheng You was completely absent-minded, and was carried away by Guo Zengchen's every move.
"Sister Miao, I want to buy this pair of earrings for Sisi. Will she like them?" Gu Zichen brought the clerk over. On the tray was a pair of exquisite pink tourmaline earrings, small and lovely.
"Wow! This is good." Guo Shao took a look and said directly to the clerk, "I want it."
Gu Zichen and Zheng Miao looked at each other.
"Mr. Guo, it was this Mr. Gu who said he wanted it first." Zheng Miao pointed out politely.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, are you sure you want it? I thought you were just asking." Guo Zengchen looked at Gu Zichen and said, "This is too small for my girlfriend. I want to buy it for my aunt."
After hearing what he said, Gu Zichen felt embarrassed to ask for it anymore. He lowered his head and went back to his seat.
Is there no Beigeli in such a big city? Running to Shanghai to grab it, Zheng Cheng: Disdain.jpg.
Zheng Miao took a fancy to a large emerald egg-shaped diamond necklace, and the two brothers also agreed. Paired with Chen Min's favorite black and gold cheongsam, it was both aura and elegant.
"Hey, this one is beautiful. Let's take a look." The clerk was carrying a plate over for them to admire closely. Guo Zengchen waved his hand and asked his follower to stop the man.
"This piece of high-quality jewelry was specially transferred from the headquarters to be exhibited for our anniversary celebration. The craftsmen spent 1,500 hours to customize it entirely by hand," the store manager introduced proudly.
"We want it." Zheng Cheng said to the store manager without waiting for the clerk to walk to Guo Shao.
Guo Zengchen looked up at him: "I didn't see it."
"I didn't say you can't see it." Zheng Cheng said to him with a smile, imitating the Beijing accent. "When the time comes, put it in the display case so everyone can see it. You can stay until the end of the exhibition."
Zheng Lu kept winking at Zheng Cheng.
Guo Zengchen gritted his teeth and said to Zheng Chengle, "Oh, it turns out to be our Kaolin's precious little brother. When he didn't say anything just now, I thought it was your fourth sister."
Unfortunately, Zheng Cheng is not Zheng Lu.
"Mr. Guo, you're only a few months older than my eldest brother, so how come you already have problems with your eyesight?" Zheng Cheng still smiled. "You can't even tell the difference between men and women. No wonder you're so busy polishing the fake seed material in your hand."
The thick fingers that were touching the jade stopped.
"Brother Zheng Cheng, you can spot the problem from such a distance? Have you seen too many treasures appraising by listening to waterfalls?" Guo Shaoyin chuckled sinisterly and showed the red signature on the jade plaque. "My Dakaimen Jade Ruyi, the work of Master Su Gong Ge Hong, is fake in your mouth?"
"Mr. Guo, you don't seem to know that Uncle Ge and my father were neighbors in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When I was a child, I often went there to play with stones. I can feel his signature with my eyes closed, let alone read it." Zheng Cheng remained calm. "Which Panjiayuan businessman dared to deceive our Prince Guo in the Imperial City like this? The whole family should be executed."
After hearing what he said, Guo Zengchen's smile froze on his face. He rolled his eyes and glared fiercely at the henchman beside him, squeezing out a voice from between his teeth: "I'll deal with you when I get back."
"Have you registered?" Zheng Cheng turned to the frozen store manager and raised his voice a little. "Why are you standing there? If Long Heng doesn't want to do business, we'll all go to Jin Kingdom from now on."
"Right away, right away." The store manager finally started to move.
"I'm sorry, it's my mother's birthday, so please give this emerald to our family, Mr. Guo." Zheng Miao stepped forward and spoke to Guo Zengchen in a soft tone.
"Oh, if you had said it was your mother's birthday earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved." Guo Zengchen immediately pretended to be magnanimous after the other party gave him a way out. "When is your birthday? Our family should also prepare a gift."
"Thank you. I'll definitely send an invitation to the Guo Mansion when the time comes." Zheng Miao smiled sweetly. "Mr. Guo likes Hetian jade. Next time, come to the Zheng Mansion to see my father's collection. My father is worried that there's no one at home to chat with him about this. We're tired of listening to it."
"Okay, I'll definitely come next time." Guo Zengchen stood up with his followers. "I have to go now. I have an appointment soon. Kaolin, bring your brothers and sisters to visit me in Beijing from now on."
Zheng Liu nodded. Guo Zengchen stared at Zheng Cheng and looked him over carefully. "Zheng Cheng, right? I'll remember you."
Zheng Cheng smiled and pronounced his words deliberately: "I remember it too, Guo, Zeng, Chen."
