"Boss, your emerald necklace looks great!"
The shop owner is in his early fifties, with a sturdy build, chubby cheeks and a wealthy appearance.
"Little brother, I'm not bragging, there are at least hundreds of jewelry stores of all sizes in this town, but this is the only necklace of this quality in the entire town."
The shop owner gave Chen Dating a detailed introduction.
The most eye-catching thing about this necklace is that it is inlaid with 22 high-quality emeralds (all from Colombia), 14 of which weigh more than 2 carats. The largest cushion-shaped emerald weighs 18.78 carats and hangs as a pendant in the center of the necklace.
Under the light of the display cabinet, it looks even more noble and dazzling!
"Okay, boss! This is it. Just name your price!"
"Little brother, you don't really want to buy it?"
"What else? I've been looking at this for a long time."
The shop owner looked Chen Dating up and down again.
"Thirty-five million, no bargaining."
"Deal, pack up."
Chen Dating's attitude didn't seem like he had bought a precious piece of jewelry worth tens of millions, but rather as relaxed and casual as if he had ordered a takeout.
Even after Chen Dating left the store with the necklace, the boss still felt a little dazed. He looked at the income on his mobile phone over and over again.
This is the real boss!
He can spend tens of millions of dollars without blinking an eye when he swipes his card. When will I be able to reach such a level?
Ten minutes later, Chen Dating arrived at the filming location.
Hua Jiaorui also finished filming her scenes in the morning.
"Big Ting!"
Seeing Chen Dating suddenly coming to visit her, Hua Jiaorui was so happy that she didn't even have time to change her costume and threw herself directly into Chen Dating's arms.
"You came here without even telling me?"
"That's a surprise!"
Originally, Chen Dating wanted to say that it was exciting enough, but after all, in front of so many staff and actors on the scene, he decided to be a little reserved.
"Ruirui, is this your boyfriend? So handsome!"
"Yeah! He's even more handsome than the most handsome guy in our drama."
"If you ask me, handsome guy, don't leave. Just stay in the industry!"
Several actresses who acted with Hua Jiaorui surrounded Chen Dating and praised him non-stop.
When Chen Dating saw that it was time for dinner, he decided to treat everyone to a meal at the largest restaurant in the ancient town.
In addition to Hua Jiaorui's fellow actresses, the director was also invited.
The person in charge of filming in the ancient town was not the chief director of this film, but a scene director named Fang Bo, who was also well-known in the circle.
Fang Bo is in his forties, has long hair, wears a gray Chinese shirt, and holds a folding fan in his hand, looking very literary and artistic.
Fang Bo was the last to arrive. As soon as he came, everyone stood up to greet him. Fang Bo naturally sat in the main seat. After all, he was the director!
He has a very independent status in the crew.
After introducing each other, Fang Bo took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Dating.
"Where are you now, little brother?"
"Just hanging out, sometimes playing with stocks."
"Oh, the stock market."
Fang Bo was a little disapproving. In his circle of friends, there were a few people who were keen on stock trading, but most of them lost more money than they made.
Last year, Fang Bo also listened to a friend's advice and invested two to three million in the stock market. As a result, his account has never turned green since he entered the market. At the most, the loss even exceeded 70%. After finally waiting for the stock market to pick up this year, Fang Bo made up his mind and cut his position after losing 1 million.
This failed stock trading experience made Fang Bo very disappointed with the stock market, and even led to some prejudice against those institutions and investors who specialize in investing in the stock market.
He even had the illusion that his lost money was taken away by these speculators.
Especially when he noticed the Lange watch on Chen Dating's wrist, which cost at least hundreds of thousands, Fang Bo felt even more uncomfortable.
Damn! I only wear a watch worth hundreds of thousands of yuan myself, and you, a young speculator, are wearing such an expensive watch. This is all the hard-earned money of us stockholders who have lost money.
With emotions in his heart, Fang Bo's attitude towards Chen Dating was somewhat lukewarm.
When it was Chen Dating's turn to toast, he took a big sip, while Fang Bo just took a sip.
This made Chen Dating feel a little unhappy. I invited you to dinner with good intentions, but you acted like a director.
At this moment, Fang Bo's assistant hurried into the private room.
"Director Fang, President Fan and Director Chen are here to check out the location."
"What? They came together?"
Fang Bo immediately sat up from his chair. Fan Xiong and Chen Hetong, one was the president of the group company, and the other was his immediate superior.
After hearing from his assistant that the person had arrived at the hotel, Fang Bo stood up and quickly walked out of the private room to greet him.
"Did I hear correctly? Mr. Fan? Big boss Fan Xiong?"
An actress sitting next to Hua Jiaorui looked surprised.
"Not only President Fan, but Director Chen is here too!"
Another one also whispered.
These characters are the ceiling level for these fifth- and sixth-tier actors.
After Fang Bo met up with Fan Xiong and Chen Hetong, he originally planned to open a new table, but Fan Xiong heard that Hua Jiaorui was at their table.
"Let's go together."
"Boss Fan, let's change to another private room!"
"It's okay. Director Chen and I just happened to meet everyone and get to know them better."
Chen Dating's private room.
"If you ask me, let's stop waiting and get on with it. Needless to say, Director Fang must have gone to dinner alone with the two big bosses."
"I think so too. Let's eat ours."
Just as everyone picked up their chopsticks and prepared to start eating again, the door of the private room opened.
"Mr. Fan, Director Chen, please come in."
Fang Bo attentively led the two senior leaders to their seats, and the young actors in the private room immediately stood up.
On the other hand, Chen Dating sat there motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
Hua Jiaorui quickly touched him with the back of her hand.
Fan Xiong and Chen Hetong both stopped when they walked beside Chen Dating.
"Mr. Chen? Why are you here?!"
Fan Xiong quickly stepped forward to greet Chen Dating with an extremely warm attitude, even a hint of respect in the eyes of outsiders.
Director Chen Hetong did the same, also holding Chen Da Ting's hand, like an old acquaintance who had not seen each other for a long time.
"I came to see my girlfriend."
"Come on, Mr. Chen, please take a seat quickly. How can you sit at the side? Fang Bo, how did you arrange it?"
Fan Xiong turned around and rebuked Fang Bo.
Fang Bo's brain is almost short-circuited now.
Oh my god!
What the hell is going on here?
Who exactly is this guy Chen Dating?
How could he be so highly respected by two great leaders?
You actually want to pull him to the main seat?
