Zhang Ailan's face flushed red. She had indeed not lived well these past few years. She usually spent the little money she had saved on mahjong and was reluctant to buy clothes.
Unexpectedly, they became the laughingstock of the other party!
"Li Xiuyan, don't go too far! Just because I can't afford it doesn't mean you can! You're not dressed any better than me!"
Zhang Ailan glanced at the other person and couldn't help but mock her. Li Xiuyan was wearing a tracksuit today, which looked rather ordinary.
"I can't afford it?" Li Xiuyan laughed, pointing around and saying, "Let me tell you the truth, this Cuiyuxuan is mine. I'm dressed like this because I just came back from the gym! Do you think I'm like you, a poor, unambitious old widow!"
"What? This antique shop is yours?" Zhang Ailan asked in surprise.
Cuiyuxuan has two floors, covering several hundred square meters. Both floors are filled with a dazzling array of antiques and jade. Such a large shop actually belongs to Li Xiuyan.
"How about it? Envious, aren't you?" Li Xiuyan said with a smug expression.
"Zhang Ailan, let me tell you, this is fate! My current husband is incredibly rich. I'm not exaggerating, this entire antique street is under his name. How about it, aren't you envious? Hahahaha!"
After graduating from university, Li Xiuyan came to Fengtian to develop her career. At first, she did not do well, but later she used her connections to get close to a powerful figure in the underworld, who was the owner of this antique street.
Zhang Ailan retorted indignantly, "So what? My husband may have passed away early, but my daughter is successful! She owns a company in the Galaxy Building and is worth billions. Can you compare to me?"
"A net worth of tens of billions?" Li Xiuyan scoffed, clearly thinking Zhang Ailan's boast was outrageous.
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Zhang Ailan quickly rolled up her sleeves and showed off her bracelet.
"See this? It's a jade bracelet! My daughter bought it for me!"
Lu Xueqing rolled her eyes, feeling speechless.
I just told my mom not to show off her bracelet, and sure enough, she started showing it off to people less than half a day later!
Li Xiuyan's eyes showed a slight surprise. She had been dealing in antiques and jade for so many years that she could tell the quality of the bracelet at a glance. She didn't expect it to actually be jadeite!
However, she refused to admit it and sneered, "Give me a break! You call that jade? It's clearly a fake. Don't embarrass yourself!"
"Counterfeit? Impossible!"
"Li Xiuyan, you're just jealous of me!" Zhang Ailan pouted. "My daughter bought this bracelet for ten million!"
"Ten million?" Li Xiuyan scoffed, "I have plenty of this kind of stuff in my shop. I can easily find one worth a few thousand yuan that's better than your broken bracelet!"
"You!" Zhang Ailan was so angry that her chest trembled.
Li Xiuyan persisted, saying, "What, you're not convinced? In my opinion, this isn't even worth a few thousand yuan. I wonder which small workshop produced this counterfeit!"
"That's not a counterfeit!"
Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from the side.
The three of them looked over and saw a tall, fair-skinned woman with a cool and aloof demeanor walking over from the side.
She said to Zhang Ailan, "Auntie, may I take a look at your bracelet?"
Zhang Ailan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly withdrew her wrist, looking wary as she asked, "What do you want to do?"
The woman shook her head and smiled, "Auntie, you've misunderstood! If I'm not mistaken, you bought this bracelet from Tsui Wah Jewelry, right?"
"Cuihua?"
Zhang Ailan looked over at Lu Xueqing.
Lu Xueqing looked slightly surprised and nodded, saying, "That's right, my husband bought this bracelet at the Tsui Wah boutique in Halong Plaza. How did you know?"
The woman smiled and said, "That's right. Our Cuihua only has one store in Fengtian, located in Halong Plaza. This bracelet was designed by me personally! Of course, I recognized it at a glance!"
She is a designer and has a special affection for her designs, like her own children. When others say that her designs are counterfeit, she can't stand it and immediately stands up to speak up for Zhang Ailan.
Lu Xueqing froze, "You are..."
The woman smiled and extended her delicate hand. "My name is Liu Siyun, and I am the chairperson of Guanzhong Cuihua Jewelry Co., Ltd."
"You're Liu Siyun?"
Li Xiuyan immediately screamed in surprise.
This is a big name in the jewelry industry!
The Liu family of Guanzhong is a renowned and prominent family. The name "Cuihua" has been around for at least a hundred years!
It holds a pivotal position in the jewelry industry throughout the North!
"Um, Ms. Liu, hello!" Lu Xueqing shook hands with Liu Siyun with a blank expression. "Oh, by the way, my name is Lu Xueqing, and I run a project company in the Galaxy Building!"
Standing in front of Liu Siyun, Lu Xueqing felt a little insecure.
She was called the eldest daughter of the Lu family since she was a child.
But compared to Ms. Liu in front of her, she is far inferior.
She's a true heiress!
Liu Siyun appeared approachable and took out a business card from her bag. "At Cuihua Jewelry, we always prioritize customer experience. This is my business card. If you have any questions in the future, we can communicate anytime! Who knows, we might even have business cooperation in the future!"
"Okay!"
"Then you all go ahead with your work, I'm just here to browse around!"
As Liu Siyun spoke, she glanced at Li Xiuhong and said, "I originally thought that with such a big shop, the owner must have good taste and wanted to stock up on some goods here. But now it seems that he's nothing special!"
Liu Siyun looked dissatisfied.
Who told this woman to say that the bracelet she designed was a counterfeit worth thousands of yuan!
After saying that, she snorted and walked downstairs.
Li Xiuhong's face was extremely pale.
So Liu Siyun came here today to inspect the products? And is she planning to stock them?
Isn't that just about recruiting agents?
You should know that obtaining the agency rights for Tsui Wah is no easy feat. Some people have spent tens of millions and still couldn't secure them!
There is currently only one exclusive store in the entire Fengtian area!
If she manages to secure this spot, she'll be incredibly lucky!
That's like missing out on a fortune!
Zhang Ailan laughed triumphantly, snatched the business card from her daughter's hand and showed it off, saying, "Li Xiuyan, see? Even the boss of Cuihua has spoken. This is a bracelet he designed himself. Aren't you angry? You blind, ugly woman!"
"You dare to insult me?!" Li Xiuyan's face burned, turning as red as a monkey's bottom.
Lu Xueqing quickly pulled her mother aside, "Okay, Mom, stop talking, let's go look around somewhere else!"
Lu Xueqing was worried that she would get into another argument, so she dragged her out by force.
Li Xiuyan stood there, her face extremely pale.
"Zhang Ailan, you bitch! Not only did you insult me, you also caused me to lose my business! I will never let you get away with this today!"
Li Xiuyan clenched her fists, growing angrier the more she thought about it. This matter absolutely could not be left like this!
