Since the outbreak of the rapid subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2007, it has gradually evolved into a global financial crisis, and even a sovereign debt crisis in some countries.

However, the overall price of jewelry has not only withstood the test of the financial crisis, but has also risen steadily.

Especially in recent years, the jewellery collecting craze has quietly risen.

At international auctions, coloured gemstones compete for brilliance, repeatedly breaking new all-time highs.

In the mainland market, novelty jewels such as tourmaline and emeralds are sought after by many ordinary collectors.

Jewelry is short for pearl gemstones.

In the collector's market, jadeite white jade with Chinese characteristics is generally incorporated into the ranks of jewelry.

Mid-to-high-end jewelry is indeed collectible, because on the one hand, jewelry is pleasing to the eye, and on the other hand, jewelry, like gold, has the characteristics of scarcity, high value retention, and great appreciation potential.

Jewelry can be cashed in any region and any country as a "currency"

。

Collecting jewelry has also become synonymous with good investment.

However, it is only for those collectors and financiers who love jewelry that jewelry has such a high value.

For Leng Qing, who has never been very interested in items like jewelry, no matter how expensive and gorgeous jewelry is, it is just a beautiful and expensive ornament.

In the modern world, in order to cooperate with work.

Leng Qing spent a lot of money to buy those gorgeous jewelry.

After all, Leng Qing is the general manager of the head office of Tangtang Bokang, and often has to attend some high-end banquets of high-end people.

Leng Qing is always bad to go with those "high-end people" without wearing jewelry

Dealing with it, that would be offensive.

So, for many reasons, Leng Qing naturally chose those gorgeous jewelry as her accessories.

But if work and other reasons are put aside, as far as Leng Qing herself is concerned, Leng Qing is actually unwilling to buy it unless necessary.

as well as wearing any jewelry.

In Leng Qing's values, she would rather spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy a few Saint Laurent that can make her feel comfortable to wear, rather than spend the same amount of money.

Go buy a piece of jewelry that won't be of much use to her.

So at that time, the whole "Magnificent & Precious Jewel" in Geneva

At the (magnificent&noblejeels) auction, Leng Qing sat quietly like an outsider, quietly selling the process.

Listen quietly to her client who is so important to her.

She talked endlessly about the origin of each gem on the stage and the official estimates.

And about the illustrious and rare 8.62-carat cushion-shaped "Graff Ruby" from the collection of the famous Greek collector Dimitri Mavrommatis

(graffruby), including the report of the Swiss Gemmological Institute (SSEF), was told to Sù by a client who was very important to Leng Qing.

In view of the whole "Magnificent & Precious Stones"

The customer at the auction gave Leng Qing a very detailed and careful explanation, as well as Leng Qing's extraordinary memory, so Leng Qing more or less wrote down some of what the customer said.

To this day, Leng Qing can still vaguely recall the scene at that time, and most of what the customer said.

But...... Although the customer explained very carefully and meticulously.

But Leng Qing, she really doesn't have much interest in items like jewelry...... Furthermore.

Leng Qing originally accompanied the customer to Sotheby's "Magnificent & Precious Jewels" in Geneva, Switzerland for the contract with that customer

(magnificent& noblejeels).

When I went there, Leng Qing still thought "I should go to a gorgeous jewelry exhibition"

, but that customer has been chattering non-stop throughout the whole process, Leng Qing let alone calm down to appreciate the gorgeous gems that were auctioned, the whole auction Leng Qing can be said to be a strong spiritual outlook!

If it weren't for Leng Qing's patience and thinking about the contract with that customer, I was afraid that Leng Qing would have thrown off her sleeves and left on the spot!

Therefore, until the "Magnificent & Noble Jewel"

(magnificent& noblejeels) auction ended spectacularly, and Leng Qing did not auction any gems.

To the customer who is very important to Leng Qing, in "Magnificent & Precious Jewels"

(Magnificent&Noblejeels) was given a high-grade Kashmir sapphire weighing about 2 carats.

However, after returning from Switzerland, Leng Qing casually gave the high-grade Kashmir sapphire weighing about 2 carats as a gift to Mongolian Yu'er...... Why the client invited her to attend Sotheby's "Magnificent & Precious Stones" in Geneva, Switzerland

(magnificent& noblejeels) auction, and later gave her tens of thousands of high-grade Kashmir sapphires...... Leng Qing knew in her heart that it was just because of the very important customer to her, her Leng Qing's appearance, that she wanted to please her and develop some relationships with her outside of customers.

After all...... How many rich men are there who don't steal?

However, Leng Qing can only say about this matter - it's a pity that the customer picked the wrong person!

Moreover, the last customer who is very important to Leng Qing can really be described as "stealing chickens and rice"

！

Because the customer took such a lot of pains not only did not succeed in currying favor with Leng Qing, but let Leng Qing in that "Magnificent & Precious Jewel"

(magnificent&noblejeels) auction, met Chen Haoxian...... Of course, if Leng Qing has the ability to predict the future.

At the beginning, Leng Qing would rather lose that very important customer, so that the formula would lose hundreds of millions of contract funds, and Leng Qing would not accompany that customer to Geneva to participate in the "Magnificent & Precious Jewels"

(magnificent& noblejeels) auction!

Money is something outside of the body.

Even if money is important, it is absolutely important, but her hair is small!

Since the accident in Mongolian, Leng Qing has thought countless times that if she hadn't been invited by that client to attend the "Magnificent & Precious Jewels" in Geneva

(magnificent&noblejeels) auction, she may not know Chen Haoxian, and Chen Haoxian will not have the opportunity to hurt Mongolian...... But then Leng Qing found out.

This kind of "what if"

The more she thought about it, the more she could change any truth except for the more and more self-blame and remorse in her heart!

Because of this world.

There really isn't any...... So, Leng Qing tried to calm down her heart and brain, and no longer thought about those unrealistic "what ifs"

, and instead concentrate on collecting the causes and evidence of the suicide in Mongolian...... Ahem...... The topic ran away a bit.

Let's talk about it - this one is inlaid in the center of the nine-petal rhombic flower at the top of the handle of the dark iron dagger.

How valuable can a ruby the size of a cat's eye be?

Let's not talk about anything else, let's take the current housing prices in the 21st century!

Everyone should know how expensive housing prices in first-tier cities are now, and a house of about 100 square meters is basically sold in units of millions.

And the value of this ruby ...... Leng Qing silently estimated in her heart, it was probably worth a house of about 100 square meters in a first-tier city...... As we have said before, in ancient times, the head of the sword was not only used for decoration.

It is also a sign that distinguishes the ranks.

As a result, its decorative and symbolic significance far exceeds its practical value.

Leng Qing estimated it.

Such a precious and symbolic ruby must be the handiwork of Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom!

Although Leng Qing personally felt that there was no need to inlay such an expensive and gorgeous ruby on a dagger, it was very normal to really study it carefully.

Therefore, Leng Qing was not so surprised by this.

The only thing that really surprised Leng Qing was that when Leng Qing stared at the dark iron dagger in her hand, she suddenly found that at the junction between the dagger handle and the dagger blade, that is, the "grid" of the dagger

on, there is a seal script "Qing"

Word!

！

Because Leng Qing used to read the calligraphy class of the University Times to learn cursive, and the roommate in the same dormitory with Leng Qing learned seal script, the two often practiced together in idleness, and they were familiar with it, although Leng Qing did not learn all the seal script fonts in China, but also learned a rough idea.

Among all the seal script fonts that Leng Qing has learned, Leng Qing is most familiar with her own name "Leng Qing"

Two words.

Therefore, even if the grid of this dark iron dagger is cast with extremely complicated patterns, even if the "clear" of the seal script

The words are just hidden between the intricate patterns cast on the lattice, even if it is difficult to find if you are not careful, there are still words hidden between those intricate patterns!

Leng Qing still keenly discovered her name!

Leng Qing had just come back to his senses from the expensive ruby the size of a cat's eye that was inlaid in the center of the nine-petal diamond flower shape at the top of the handle of the dagger, and the seal script hidden in the intricate patterns was now cast on the dagger grid

word, Leng Qing's mood is really getting more and more complicated...... Leng Qing remembered that when Yan Ziming talked to her about Xuantie that day, Yan Ziming had clearly and clearly said: "Because Xuantie is a treasure that sharpens iron like mud after the opening, and the output of Xuantie is very limited, the royal family of the Chibing Kingdom has always been extremely strict with the control of Xuantie, and no one in the entire court of the Chibing Kingdom can directly contact the Xuantie Mine except for the current emperor of the Chibing Kingdom and the people who serve in the Inner Court Division." ”

Therefore, Leng Qing can be sure that whether it is in the 21st century, or in this otherworldly Tiancheng Continent, Xuantie is a very precious metal, but its value is more precious than the value of natural rubies!

Because of this, at this moment, Leng Qing's mood is not only complicated, but also very chaotic - such a precious metal, because of her whim, an extremely casual word, Yan Ziming took it to heart, and really cast this dark iron dagger!

Even the details of carving her name on the dagger, Yan Ziming clearly remembered!

！

This made her ...... How can it be embarrassing?

To this day, although Leng Qing is still reluctant to admit it, Leng Qing has to admit that Yan Ziming's heart for her is indeed sincere!

At least for now, Yan Ziming is cold to her - sincerely.

But at the same time, Leng Qing understood more in her heart that no matter whether Yan Ziming's feelings for her were sincere or not, no matter how Yan Ziming paid for her without asking for anything in return, in the face of Yan Ziming's deep friendship, she was already full of holes in her heart, and she really couldn't repay her...... Want her to force herself to go against her heart and respond to Yan Ziming's confession to her?

No!

She can't do it!

But Ziming treated her so carefully and wholeheartedly, and she couldn't turn a blind eye...... Just when Leng Qingwu was caught up in her own thoughts, feeling guilty and entangled in Yan Ziming's affection for her without any care, in the quiet inner hall of the left hall, only Yan Ziming's tone was slightly hesitant to ask: "Xin'er, what's wrong......?" You don't like this darkiron dagger I gave you?"

Don't blame Yan Ziming for asking this question, after all, after Yan Ziming finished speaking, Leng Qing suddenly lowered her head and was silent, anyone would feel strange and puzzled, right?

Speaking of which, since he was mercilessly rejected by Leng Qing that day, Yan Ziming also thought about it seriously later, he confessed his heart to Leng Qing so abruptly, it was inevitable that he would frighten Leng Qing and make Leng Qing unable to accept it for a while, so that he had some feelings of resistance to him.

After all, women are not like men, men can marry countless wives and concubines in their lives, even if they marry the wrong one, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to remarry or even divorce directly.

But a woman's choice of a mate is a major event related to her life!

It's always a good idea to be cautious.

Therefore, Leng Qing suspects that his feelings for her are "just a moment of freshness"

Yan Ziming can also understand it.

After all, the truth is indeed as Leng Qing said, he has known her for a short time, Leng Qing does not understand his character, and it is very normal to have doubts about his words.

And he also seriously thought about it later, if Leng Qing responded to him happily on the spot that day, he was afraid that he would be replaced afterwards Yan Ziming felt uneasy...... Since Leng Qing repeatedly said that she was a "ruthless person" that day,

, this life will never be contaminated with a trace of male and female affection, it doesn't matter!

There are no absolutes in the world, and it is the so-called "love over time"

, the time between him and Leng Qing is so long, as long as he is patient, take his time, step by step...... He believes that one day, he can make Leng Qing become a "loving person"
