At last, she stopped in front of a necklace design drawing, her eyes full of amazement, "This jewelry is so beautiful! Ah! It was designed by Master Timothy Carmen! It must have taken a lot of effort to design this piece, right?"
Timothy Carmen, a globally recognized jewelry designer from Country Y, is revered in the industry as the "Princess of the Jewelry Industry." Her designs are known for their ever-changing styles, and her dynamic design approach can satisfy all customers’ needs.
Because of this, her reputation and business are the best among all jewelry masters.
Even though Mrs. Fu had not paid much attention to the jewelry fashion industry for over twenty years, she recognized the master, who is said to be aloof and not talkative.
Upon hearing this name, Chi Gui raised an eyebrow and moved closer to take a look, then exclaimed, "It didn’t really take much effort... This drawing must be due to the organizers of the Jade Appreciation Conference pushing too hard, and she likes to procrastinate, so only in the last hour while eating did she hurriedly finish it up to meet the deadline."
Mrs. Fu turned her head and gave Chi Gui a glance when she heard this.
Although Mrs. Fu always looked gentle, Chi Gui still saw a hint of disdain and disbelief in her eyes.
Even though Timothy Carmen’s procrastination is as famous worldwide as her talent, how could such a stunning drawing possibly be thought up casually in an hour?
It must be said, when it comes to jewelry design, Mrs. Fu seems like a different person.
She coughed softly and pointed to a corner of the design drawing, whispering, "You see, there’s still a bit of ketchup stain here."
Mrs. Fu squinted and looked carefully, and indeed, she saw the carefully wiped stain... although faint, it was definitely ketchup...
She turned her head, shocked, and looked at Chi Gui, "You have really good eyesight."
Chi Gui smiled and did not explain much.
One of the organizers, the assistant from Cadies, politely escorted Jin Ran, Yao Zhenqing, Yuan Rou, and Yaoyu Han to the door. Just as they were saying goodbye, they heard the conversation between Chi Gui and Mrs. Fu.
The Jade Appreciation Conference, as one of the high-society events, is always elegant; people who attend speak in very low voices. Moreover, because the drawing was near the entrance and most people were looking from the inside out, it was very quiet at the doorway.
Chi Gui and Mrs. Fu’s voices, though not loud, were enough for those close by to overhear.
The assistant looked at Chi Gui with some surprise, "Is this lady a jewelry design master from Huaxia?"
Normally designers or enthusiasts wouldn’t dare to critique Master Timothy Carmen’s work like that.
Yao Zhenqing and Yuan Rou had already recognized Chi Gui and Mrs. Fu, both looking slightly uncomfortable.
Just as Yao Zhenqing was about to speak, Yaoyu Han spoke softly, "She doesn’t understand jade and jewelry at all. Last time, when I gifted a jade carving to Grandpa Fu, she even thought it was worth less than a jade ashtray with impurities."
"Is that so?" Yao Zhenqing asked in surprise.
Seeing everyone looking curious, Yaoyu Han pursed her lips and detailed the events of that morning once more.
After listening, Yao Zhenqing could not help but scoff, "Frustration is indeed dreadful, even Professor Chi from the past, shining with success, has turned into a person who gains satisfaction by slandering others."
The jade carving that Yaoyu Han gave to Old Sir Fu was personally quality-checked by himself, and he knew its worth.
Not to mention buying a jade ashtray with impurities, even buying ten thousand of them would be more than sufficient! For original chapters go to novel[f]ire.net
