Chapter 284 Engagement Ring
Around noon, a Boeing plane from China slowly landed at London's Heathrow Airport.
Not long after, a young man in his early twenties, who looked quite sunny and handsome, walked out of the airport gate.
Looking at the way he walks, he gives people a feeling that he is very arrogant.
This also made everyone rushing out of the gate stay as far away from him as possible.
"Young Master Qin!"
Several young people who had been waiting outside the airport gate immediately waved and shouted at him excitedly when they saw him.
This shout attracted everyone's attention.
But they were secretly proud of themselves.
This is exactly the effect we want!
The one who came was Qin Yongming, the most powerful young master among the four young masters in Beijing.
In the capital, who doesn't know the Qin family's reputation?
"Wang Sen, Liu Xing, and you, Fatty Qian!"
Qin Yongming came up to them with open arms and a smile, hugging them one by one, looking like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"As soon as we heard that you, Mr. Qin, were coming, we came to the airport early in the morning to wait for you."
“Haha, who knew the plane would be late?”
The fat young man grinned, his face full of fat trembling.
"Mr. Qin, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, I would have asked my family to fly you there!"
Qin Yongming patted the fat man's chubby shoulders and said, "I know you have a lot of money, but you also know that the situation in Beijing is unusual now. It's better to keep a low profile!"
No matter whether the other three understood or not, they didn't dare to ask.
The four of them chatted for a while in the airport lobby before leaving the airport and getting into Qian Duoduo's extended version of Rolls-Royce and leaving.
"How are you finding out about the things I asked you to do?"
The Rolls-Royce was driving fast in the city of London.
Even as a world-renowned financial center, the extended version of Rolls-Royce is still the focus of many people's attention.
Sitting in the car, Qin Yongming did not feel any enjoyment of driving a luxury car.
He was more concerned about his goddess, Zhuang Ziqing.
"Young Master Qin, ever since we beat up those two ignorant guys, no one dares to disturb Miss Zhuang anymore." Wang Sen immediately said with a smile.
"Humph, everyone in the capital knows that our Young Master Qin likes Miss Zhuang. Who dares not to know what's best for him?" Liu Xing said viciously.
Qin Yongming smiled proudly. In the capital, he did have such a deterrent power.
His father is now a man in the capital city who can cause an earthquake with just a stomp of his foot.
But this is London!
"Where's Yang Huan?"
When Qin Yongming asked this question, the carriage suddenly became quiet.
If the Qin family in Beijing is so powerful that no one dares to offend them, then the Yang family in Longhai is even more powerful.
Although Mr. Yang has retired, there are still countless old subordinates promoted by him in the entire government management.
Even though the Yang family has always kept a low profile and never violated rules, even after Mr. Yang retired, he never set foot in the capital again and was never mentioned in the newspapers.
But everyone knows that the more he does this, the more it shows how amazing his influence is.
"What's going on?" Qin Yongming noticed that the atmosphere in the car was a bit weird.
"You've seen him?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Wang Sen shook his head.
"No, I specially arranged for someone to guard outside Miss Zhuang's law firm and home, and I have never seen Yang Huan appear."
Qin Yongming felt a little better.
"Young Master Qin, it can be seen that Miss Zhuang doesn't seem to like this Yang Huan." Qian Duoduo said with a flattering smile.
"Yes, if Miss Zhuang likes Yang Huan, there is no reason for Yang Huan not to show up."
Qin Yongming also felt that it made sense and nodded, "Well, you didn't tell me about my trip to London today, did you?"
"No!" Wang Sen and the other two immediately shook their heads.
"Master Qin, you personally told us to do this, how dare we forget it?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin, you said you wanted to give Miss Zhuang a surprise, so how could we leak it in advance?"
Qin Yongming then nodded and laughed, "That's good."
After saying this, he sighed deeply.
Although he knew that Yang Huan had never come to see Zhuang Ziqing, this guy was still a serious concern no matter what.
"Oh, I came here in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare any gifts. Is there anything good in London?"
At this moment, Wang Sen and Liu Xing both looked at Qian Duoduo.
This guy is as his name suggests, his family has an insane amount of money, and his favorite thing to do is to buy luxury goods and flirt with female celebrities when he returns home.
"Piccadilly is a shopping paradise in London. If you want to give gifts to girls, there are all kinds of jewelry and fashion bags there, especially Bond Street. Chanel, Cartier, Hermes, Tiffany, Asprey, they are all on that street!"
Having said that, Qian Duoduo laughed again.
"If Mr. Qin wants to choose a gift for Miss Zhuang, I think he has to go to Bond Street."
Qin Yongming knew what was going on when he saw Qian Duoduo's flattering smile.
Although this guy's father is a wealthy man, he is affiliated with his father.
Since childhood, Qian Duoduo has been Qin Yongming's purse.
"All right, let's go to Bond Street!"
…………
…………
At noon, the sun was shining brightly, bringing some warmth to London, which is always cold all year round.
There were also many more pedestrians than usual in Piccadilly.
While everyone else was setting up the show on the third floor of the Cork family's hotel, Yang Huan and Huang Ying appeared on Bond Street outside the gate of the Royal Academy of Arts.
Piccadilly is London's shopping paradise, and Bond Street is the heart of Piccadilly.
"I never thought they could get it done in two days?"
Huang Ying walked leisurely beside Yang Huan, feeling both curious and amazed.
This is so efficient!
"It's normal to get it done!"
Yang Huan answered casually, "You saw it too, they acted so realistically."
He was looking up and down Bond Street as if searching for something.
"But don't you think it's too high-profile? No team has ever launched a new jersey, held a fashion show like you did, and invited some famous designers to take charge..."
I feel like I’m going to collapse just thinking about it. There are only a few types of jerseys in total. How long can the show last?
"Just for fun. Don't you think that each of those guys is doing it very hard?"
“That’s right!”
Huang Ying also found it very strange.
Each of those rich second-generations worked very hard, making plans for the show and doing their part.
Of course, they were playing.
But playing so seriously is not an easy thing.
“This is a great start!”
What Yang Huan said is irrelevant.
Huang Ying didn't understand and didn't know how to ask.
She had a vague feeling that what Yang Huan cared about was not the show, but what was behind it.
But she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Or maybe it is difficult for outsiders to understand Master Huan’s thoughts.
"Hey, here it is!"
Yang Huan stopped in front of a four-story luxury store at the end of the street.
This shop is quite old, and the display window curtain wall on the ground floor is obviously specially designed. It is very unique in the whole Bond Street. Everyone passing by can have a clear view of the goods on display inside.
But from the second floor upwards, there are only those old red brick walls.
Compared to the huge floor-to-ceiling window curtain wall of the store that is five or six meters high, the store sign is very small and nothing special. It only has six English words, which translates to "ASPRAY".
"I've seen this design!" Huang Ying recognized it at first sight.
"Um?"
"In the teacher's office, there is the original draft of this design."
Yang Huan was a little surprised, "Was this designed by Norman Foster?"
He really didn't know.
"Yes, it seems to be a work from the teacher's early years. At that time, Asprey was still a famous luxury brand."
Asprey is still famous today and is still a noble brand in the jewelry industry, but the glory of being the exclusive favorite of the British royal family in the past is long gone, and even the brand has long since fallen.
Yang Huan smiled faintly and said casually, "Let's go in and take a look!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the Asprey headquarters.
Huang Ying couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, but she followed him immediately.
Asprey's business is quite diversified. In addition to jewelry, it also sells silverware, leather, fashion, perfume, etc.
All luxury items are sold here.
A painting can be seen in a conspicuous place at the entrance.
It was the nude painting that Jack drew for Rose on the Titanic, and the one on the chest was the Heart of the Ocean.
"Sir, the Heart of the Ocean is a piece of jewelry that our store customized for the Titanic!"
Seeing Yang Huan standing in front of the painting looking at it, the waiter immediately came over.
Yang Huan had never heard of it before and was a little surprised.
But it only took a moment.
Then he took Huang Ying around to visit.
The waiter's attitude was impeccable, he was always very polite and courteous.
Soon, Yang Huan's eyes fell on a ring.
This ring is inlaid with red rubies and white diamonds and is very elegant in design.
"Sir, you have a really good eye. This ring is an engagement ring. It is made of ten diamonds and ten rubies arranged in an alternating pattern, representing perfection. The total weight of the diamonds is 1.3 carats, and the weight of the rubies is 1.7 carats."
The waiter at the side immediately came over and introduced.
At the end, she added, "This is this year's new model, and we only have this one in our store!"
Yang Huan took the ring, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He thought the ring was really well designed.
No wonder people say that British designers are of very high standard.
"Try it!" Yang Huan handed it to Huang Ying.
"Me?" Huang Ying was shocked.
"Yes, try it. If you can wear it, I'll give it to you!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
Huang Ying blushed, "This... this is an engagement ring."
"I know, that's why I let you try!"
Huang Ying was very nervous.
What on earth does this guy mean?
Giving me an engagement ring for no reason, what does it mean?
Could it be... that he was hinting at something?
"Miss, let me help you try!"
The waiter was quite enthusiastic. He took Huang Ying's hand and put the ring on her ring finger.
Not to mention, after putting it on, the size is just right.
Yang Huan took a look and found that the ring looked very elegant on Huang Ying's fair, scallion-like hand.
It’s really beautiful!
It seems that Zhao Yuanfang has a very good vision!
Asprey, good!
"I bought it!" Yang Huan nodded with satisfaction.
"Ah?" Huang Ying was shocked.
Bro, you haven’t even asked the price yet?
Buy it now?
Isn't that too rich?
Besides, it only fits on the ring finger, so how can I wear it?
Wear it on your ring finger?
As she thought about it, Huang Ying's pretty face turned red as blood.
On the contrary, Master Huan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong at all. He turned around and saw a leather wallet.
Just at this moment, the shop door was pushed open again and four people came in at once.
"Welcome to Asprey!" The waiter immediately came over.
The four men looked over when they heard the voice, automatically ignoring the ordinary-looking British waitress, and all their eyes fell on Huang Ying.
Wow, what a beautiful girl!
Even Qin Yongming, whose heart was devoted to Zhuang Ziqing, was amazed when he saw it.
In terms of appearance and temperament, she is only slightly inferior to the goddess in his mind.
But this seemingly fragile oriental girl has an intellectual and bookish temperament.
The other three playboys watched without blinking an eye.
Huang Ying was stared at by four men with wolf-like eyes for no reason, and she felt creepy all over.
He immediately took off the ring on his ring finger.
"Miss, do you still want this ring?" The waiter immediately came over.
"How much?" Huang Ying asked timidly.
"Four thousand pounds."
"Four thousand pounds?"
Huang Ying was in a dilemma. She was now Norman Foster's assistant and had a good salary, so she could afford it.
But she really doesn't have the habit of buying such luxury items.
"What's going on?" Yang Huan heard the noise and walked over.
"Master Huan, this ring costs four thousand pounds!" Huang Ying didn't want it anymore.
Her call of "Young Master Huan" immediately attracted the attention of the four people who had just arrived.
Yang Huan laughed, "It's only 4,000 pounds, help me pack it up!"
But at this moment, one of the four newcomers came over.
"I'll give you five thousand pounds, and I'll take the ring!"
