"It will take at least a month for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to prepare, so we can learn and gain experience here in advance."
Xu Manman nodded. "That's good. We discovered the problem and avoided it in advance."
Later, more people came, including official people, people from the banking system, and entrepreneurs. No matter how lazy she was at socializing, since people came to her on their own initiative, Xu Manman couldn't leave it entirely to Jin Zichu, so she also raised her lips and started to deal with the situation.
After seeing off a group of people, Xu Manman was thinking about finding a place to rest when Jin Zichu put his hand on Xu Manman's waist and tightened it, "Manman, that's Zhan Tianqi over there."
Xu Manman looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he was there, but he didn't bring a female companion. He was with a middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to him. It seemed that he was not his father, but an elder in his family.
There were still some people over there, and Xu Manman didn't plan to go over, but at this time Zhan Tianqi happened to look over, and their eyes met.
He was also very surprised to see his old friend Zhan Tianqi, but there was someone around him and he couldn't leave for the time being, so he raised his glass and greeted everyone over there.
Xu Manman pulled Jin Zichu to the corner seat she had already chosen and sat down. "This kind of occasion is really not fun."
Jin Zichu patted his wife's hand soothingly and said, "The chefs at the Peace Hotel are all very good at making dim sum. I saw a small dim sum in the dessert area over there that seems pretty good. Why don't I go over there and order some to try."
Xu Manman nodded casually, "Anything is fine, but I'm not hungry, so don't take too much."
"It's okay, I'll take care of whatever Manman can't finish." After saying this, he stood up and took the plate to get dessert for his wife.
Xu Manman sat alone in the corner. This banquet was really boring. She just wanted to go home early, lie down and watch some videos.
Just when she was about to pick her fingers out of boredom, the light in front of her was blocked.
Xu Manman thought it was Jin Zichu who came back. When she looked up, she saw a woman dressed in golden clothes standing in front of her.
It was really glittering with gold. The necklace was made into a large flower in the shape of a hibiscus. The flower was as big as her palm. On both wrists were gold bracelets as thick as fingers. In comparison, the ones on her ears seemed insignificant.
With her plump figure, she looks so round and smooth, and glittering with jewels.
The woman was staring straight at her—neck?
"Hey, where did you buy your necklace?"
Although Xu Manman felt her tone was not very good, she still replied seriously, "I bought the diamond from a jeweler in Hong Kong. My husband had the design custom-made for me. I'm not sure about the specific market price."
This is true. Apart from jade bracelets, she rarely buys finished jewelry outside. The gifts she gave to her family in the past were just stones, so she is not very clear about the market price.
In fact, the diamonds or gems that Jin Zichu uses as the main stones for his wife's jewelry are rare and unique in the world, not only in terms of carat weight but also in quality. Not to mention the market price, they are completely priceless.
The woman was not very satisfied with Xu Manman's answer. "Then name a price. How much can you sell me the one on your neck?"
She is one of the most influential people in the circle of wealthy wives in Hai City. She attended the banquet today and wore her most proud clothes and jewelry. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she found herself outshined by an unknown person.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she had to say that the necklace on the woman's neck was really beautiful, and the huge red gem in the middle was the first time she had ever seen it in her life. It was dazzling red and incredibly large. How beautiful would it be if she could wear it?
Xu Manman said without hesitation, "Sorry, no sales."
The woman didn't care. "Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to the price I offer first. Twenty thousand. Think about it. You won't get this price again if you miss this opportunity." The woman didn't think there was anyone in the world who couldn't resist money.
Xu Manman was speechless. Twenty thousand? To send away a beggar? Not to mention the necklace around her neck, she couldn't even afford a single earring.
"Even if you offer a hundred times, a thousand times, I still won't sell it!"
After being rejected repeatedly, the woman became a little angry and said through gritted teeth, "You're actually thinking of asking for too much? I can only add another five thousand at most. I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful."
Jin Zichu's voice came from behind Xu Manman, "My wife and I don't need this little pocket money, and I'm not so poor as to rely on my wife to buy jewelry. Madam, you should keep this money for yourself."
