However, Lu Mengyao directly retorted: "Yes, we are indeed young girls, not as old as Director Xu, so naturally we won't have romantic feelings. Besides, your Bulgari bracelet is faded. I didn't expect anyone to still be wearing an out-of-season piece. So, do you only own one Bulgari? If I remember correctly, this one only costs thirty or forty thousand."

Lu Mengyao's words immediately made Director Xu's face turn extremely ugly.

The assistant was already chuckling to himself.

This made Director Xu even more embarrassed.

She hadn't expected Lu Mengyao to have such sharp eyes, actually noticing that her Bulgari had faded.

Now she was desperately trying to hide the bracelet under her sleeve, making excuses: "Well, I have a whole bunch of Bulgari bracelets at home, how could I only have one? Either it's faded, or I accidentally scratched it today. I'll go and exchange it for a hundred thousand today! Anyway, it's too expensive for you to afford, I can't be bothered with you, but I still have a lot of work to do, unlike you guys who are stuck with a useless artist who has nothing to do all day."

Director Xu immediately made his escape.

Lu Mengyao smiled faintly and remained silent.

Director Xu is clearly just trying to save face at all costs.

When Lu Mengyao entered the meeting room, the president stared intently at her: "You won this at auction?"

These words immediately caused Director Xu to burst into laughter.

Director Xu said to the president, "Cousin, you're too naive. This is just a cheap street vendor item. How could something made of glass have been auctioned off?"

The president looked at Lu Mengyao's bracelet again, shook his head, and said decisively, "No, no, this should be an Argyle Violet Diamond, a type of natural diamond."

Lu Mengyao listened to the president's words and looked down as well.

She was very surprised.

Isn't this just an ordinary bracelet? Lu Mengyao thought it was at most made of moissanite.

"Cousin, you must be mistaken! Look closely!" Director Xu exclaimed anxiously, completely disbelieving.

Argyle violet diamonds are very expensive natural diamonds, very rare, and sometimes even priceless.

The president said very seriously, "I have been studying jewelry all along, and I studied jewelry design in college. How could I be wrong? This material cannot be ordinary diamonds."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

After all, there are plenty of diamonds for the wealthy, but diamonds as rare and precious as this are extremely rare.

Immediately, someone kindly asked Lu Mengyao, "Could I take a look?"

"I want to see it too! This is the first time I've ever seen the Argyle Violet Diamond! I'm going to post it on my WeChat Moments!"

"I've always been a fan of Brother Qin. He hasn't even debuted yet, and he's already spending a fortune to have such a high-quality custom-made bracelet for you? I'm so envious!"

"Lu Mengyao is so lucky to be Qin Shou's agent. I feel so worried when I think about the one I manage."

Lu Mengyao, who was surrounded by people, was also somewhat surprised.

She herself couldn't believe it was true.

Director Xu's face turned deathly pale.

She never imagined that a bracelet she thought was nothing special would be so valuable.

I remember reading about Qin Shou; he wasn't that rich!

Or is Qin Shou a hidden tycoon? Or is Qin Shou a second-generation rich kid who got a house after it was demolished?

Director Xu was incredibly jealous.

The bracelet on Lu Mengyao's hand is a genuine Argyle violet diamond; it's practically worth a house on your wrist.

What's going on? Ever since Lu Mengyao met Qin Shou, it's been like she's been given a cheat code, with one good thing after another happening to her.

This made Director Xu even more regretful. Why didn't she keep Qin Shou back then? If she had made Qin Shou one of her artists, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

……

Inside the music training room.

Qin Shou was sitting in a chair, playing a guitar.

Since being encouraged by Lu Mengyao last time, Qin Shou felt motivated and made rapid progress.

He gradually grasped the knack, and with Lu Mengyao arranging private lessons for him, Qin Shou quickly found the trick with the help of a reliable guitar teacher.

Qin Shou is practicing his new song "Forget Yourself" in preparation for his future music recording.

After all, he felt that incorporating guitar into the music would enhance the effect.

While Qin Shou was practicing diligently, Lu Mengyao walked in from outside the door.

She walked up to Qin Shou, gently raised the bracelet, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me this was expensive?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou shuddered. He hadn't expected to be exposed, and immediately became flustered, asking, "Ah?"

"This is the Argyle Violet Diamond, right? Where did you buy it?" Lu Mengyao was under a lot of pressure.

Firstly, the price was too high, and secondly, Qin Shou's family was not very wealthy.

She was afraid that Qin Shou might overspend on the gift he was giving her, and she would feel really bad about it.

Seeing that Lu Mengyao already knew, Qin Shou didn't deny it: "Um... it's the Argyle Violet Diamond, but don't worry, senior, this is a legitimate channel, I didn't steal or cheat it!"

He felt a little guilty; he couldn't very well tell his senior that it was given to him by the system.

So Qin Shou could only come up with an excuse: "I have a friend who trades stocks, and I made some money by following his stock trading advice. Also, he is a diamond collector and gave me this diamond. I thought I didn't need it, so I had it processed. But I didn't expect it to be so rare and precious."

"Really?" Lu Mengyao frowned.

"It's true! Senior, I definitely won't do anything like overspending or committing crimes!" Qin Shou said excitedly.

Lu Mengyao bit her red lips slightly, somewhat reluctant, but after taking a deep breath, she still took off the bracelet from her hand: "Here you go."

"Senior, why don't you want it anymore?" Qin Shou was quite surprised.

[Ding, a task has been assigned: have Lu Mengyao retrieve the bracelet. The host will be rewarded with a stamina-replenishing potion, so that even when feeling weak, they can be full of energy again.] System notification.

Qin Shou replied: [It's Shenbao?]

System: 【…Is this too fast? I'm an innocent system.】

Qin Shou said, "When you know this, you are no longer pure."

The system retorted arrogantly: "[No way! I'm even purer than the handsome Tomato! Besides, this potion is much better; it's highly safe, has no side effects, and can instantly boost your energy and spirits.]"

After teasing the system, Qin Shou focused all his attention on Lu Mengyao.

Lu Mengyao blinked her shimmering eyes and replied earnestly, "You are very valuable, and diamonds are very rare, possessing significant collectible value. In the future, you can..."

for you……"

Her face suddenly flushed, and she felt a deep gloom in her heart: "It's for your girlfriend, otherwise what if she holds a grudge?"

Qin Shou, however, had a mission to complete, so he replied, "I don't have a girlfriend right now! So you don't need to worry about her feelings. Right now, all I care about is you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mengyao's eyes lit up, and a smile involuntarily spread across her red lips.

She excitedly replied, "Really?"
