Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements
Chapter 506 Inhumanity of Extravagance
Xiao Jiang, who was standing nearby, was also very perceptive. He immediately picked up the small safe and gently placed it on the table in front of Li Xiang.
Filled with anticipation, Li Xiang reached out and opened the box.
The moment the lid was lifted, a vibrant and pure yellow color instantly caught my eye.
Zhou Jie, who was drinking water nearby, suddenly choked on her water and coughed violently.
No wonder she lost her composure like that.
The gift that Ambani and her daughter had carefully prepared for Li Xiang was actually two top-quality yellow diamond jewelry pieces.
One is a lion brooch covered with a large number of intense yellow diamonds, with the mane made of stacked yellow diamonds of different cuts, and the eyes are two emeralds.
What's truly frightening is that the lion was carrying three colorless diamonds in its mouth.
The largest pear-shaped diamond is clearly a top-grade white diamond with high clarity and D color, even with the naked eye. Not to mention its weight, it must be at least 50 carats or more.
As for the other necklace, an 80-carat fancy vivid yellow diamond is set in a platinum ribbon necklace, which is also covered with small diamonds.
Two pieces of jewelry, as if they had captured the luster of the sun, were displayed before everyone's eyes in such a dazzling way.
Not to mention Sister Zhou, even Li Xiang himself almost couldn't catch his breath.
That's incredibly arrogant, absolutely arrogant.
He must have saved the galaxy in his past life to have such a friend.
No wonder Anna repeatedly gave him instructions before he left, showing her concern.
Honestly, just thinking about a family like that is enough to make anyone's heart flutter...
This was merely a gift between friends, not a business transaction or a wedding dowry, yet the gesture was already so astonishing.
It took everyone in the cabin, including Li Xiang, quite a while to calm down.
Only then did I notice that there was a thin card stuck on the top of the box.
Carefully picking it up, Li Xiang realized that this was not an ordinary piece of paper at all, but a pure gold, openwork note with a strong Indian style.
Above is Isha's very beautiful handwritten English handwriting.
"My dear friend, I have seen you attend various ceremonies and wear countless jewels, but you have never had a true treasure."
"In India, the lion is a guardian, a symbol of confidence and courage."
"Golden yellow is the color of the goddess Lakshmi, representing great fortune and holiness; as for white diamonds, they are indestructible..."
"So my mom and I carefully selected these two pieces of jewelry, hoping they would be worthy of all your shining moments, and gave them to you, my best friend."
The few words were sincere and earnest.
As Li Xiang gently stroked the cool, openwork patterns on the gold tag with his fingertips, he realized that these were no longer just two simple pieces of jewelry.
Rather, it was Nazrana's gift that was a heartfelt expression of affection from her Indian friends, a gesture of genuine respect and appreciation for him.
Sister Zhou also came to her senses at this moment, her gaze falling on the gold token and jewelry, and she sighed softly, "This return gift is really too much."
Li Xiang did not respond immediately. Instead, he reached out and took out two pieces of jewelry, carefully putting them on.
He then asked Xiao Jiang to take out his phone and take a picture of himself, intending to send it to Isha after landing.
After finishing all that, he turned to look at Sister Zhou, his tone more serious than usual: "Because this is a token of my affection, it cannot be measured in money."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhou sighed softly. Of course she understood the reasoning, but with the object right in front of her and its value undeniable, it was impossible not to be alarmed.
"That's true, but the favors owed to the Ambani family are not easy to repay in return."
"I know what I'm doing." Li Xiang glanced down at the dazzling yellow diamond around his neck, as bright as the sun.
"Showing it at New York Fashion Week would be the best response, and it would also tell Isabella that I really like this gift."
When the plane landed in New York at 2 a.m., Li Xiang immediately took out his phone and sent the photos to Isha.
I thought I'd have to wait a while, but to my surprise, the girl called almost instantly: "Li, you've arrived in New York?"
"I couldn't wait to show it off to you as soon as I got off the plane, haha, I really love it."
The person on the other end of the phone immediately chuckled, their voice full of joy: "I knew you'd like it!"
"After I go back to school in a while, I'll try to visit you in New York. Remember to take me to Vogue..."
"Haha, I'll be waiting for you anytime," Li Xiang replied with a smile.
After a brief chat, the two easily hung up the phone, and the bodyguard drove the car over.
I thought that after returning from India, I could finally have a few days of peaceful rest.
Little did I expect that this trip to India would be like opening a valve, with one problem after another coming my way.
Good things happen, but there are also troublesome things that leave you speechless.
On a positive note, his endorsement contract with Armani is about to expire.
The CEO of L'Oréal China, Bei Qingqing, somehow obtained his private number and called him directly to discuss contract renewal.
No, is Li Xiang some kind of despicable creature?
He can understand that the CEO is newly appointed, but you should at least find out about his relationship with L'Oréal!
How dare they come to him and ask to renew their contract?
Without further ado, Li Xiang directly refused: "The previous cooperation was not pleasant, so we will not continue to cooperate."
With just a few words, he neatly and efficiently dismissed the other party.
Immediately afterward, Lou Ye called again.
Li Xiang really couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking, that he actually planned to put this art film into the National Day holiday release window.
If it weren't for the phone call, Li Xiang would definitely have shown Lou Ye his disdain.
An art film, insisting on squeezing into the fiercely competitive National Day holiday box office, really thinks Li Xiang is a magic bullet for box office success.
As for the phone call asking if he could return to China for a promotional tour, Li Xiang politely declined, citing the importance of the awards season.
With such a small budget, and it's an art film, why would it need a promotional tour?
Just go to a few cinemas when the time comes. Why do you have to compare yourself to Brother Kai? Can you even compete with him?
But not wanting to strain the relationship too much, he agreed to go back and do some interviews, which would also be a form of publicity.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiang leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his temples, and asked Sister Zhou beside him, "Is there something wrong? Do I have to go back for the roadshow?"
Sister Zhou put down her phone, looked up at him, and said with a hint of surprise, "The box office of 'Caught in the Web' has just exceeded 300 million."
"Is it really broken?"
This time, Li Xiang was completely stunned. Don't be fooled by what he said when he was trying to fool Kai Ge.
If it really breaks 300 million, it truly exceeds his expectations.
No wonder Lou Ye was thinking of making a push for the National Day box office and even asked him to go back for a roadshow. If it really has that kind of box office potential, it's definitely worth the gamble.
"There's one more thing. The media has compiled a list of the top male actors in terms of box office revenue across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong."
