At six o'clock, Zheng Yubai arrived at the entrance of the Palace Hotel. From a distance, he saw Ding Beibei wearing a sea-blue long evening gown that outlined her figure incomparably. She stood in the hall gracefully, like a wave blooming in the blue sea, dazzling people. There were many men and women coming and going in pairs in the hall. When the men saw Ding Beibei, they forgot about their female companions, which naturally earned them displeasure and contempt from their female companions.
Ding Beibei has become accustomed to the feeling of being the center of attention. When she saw Zheng Yubai coming, she waved to him happily, motioning him to go to a secluded place to talk.
"Sorry, I was delayed buying the mask." Zheng Yubai scratched his head.
"What mask did you buy?" Ding Beibei asked curiously.
Zheng Yubai took out a mask from the bag, but it was a green Shrek.
"Haha, look at me." Ding Beibei's mask is the fat, big-eared, cute Garfield cat.
"We are the anime duo." Ding Beibei put it on Zheng Yubai like a little child, and then she put on Garfield herself, and then they both looked at each other's silly looks and laughed.
After having enough fun, the two of them took the elevator and came to the second floor. There were many security guards patrolling everywhere. Billions of dollars worth of jewelry and countless wealthy people gathered here, so the security work was naturally thorough and strict.
Along the way, Ding Beibei introduced Zheng Yubai to the general situation of the exhibition. In fact, Zheng Yubai had already known everything clearly from Caoji, but at this moment he pretended not to understand and let Ding Beibei explain it one by one.
The second floor of the Palace Hotel is a huge luxurious exhibition hall, where world-renowned clothing brands or luxury goods launches are often held. People of Zheng Yubai's status have naturally never set foot there. Standing outside the exhibition hall, with many men in suits and beautiful ladies, looking at the orange light coming through the huge translucent glass door, he felt a little excited.
Everyone around him was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see their real faces. Zheng Yubai thought this kind of masked exhibition was a bit weird. But maybe rich people just like weird things.
The clock struck six. With the first bell, the glass door slowly opened. A man with tortoise-shell eyes stood in the middle of the door. He smiled at all the guests and pointed to the hall. "Please bring your invitations and line up to enter. The party will start soon."
Zheng Yubai recognized this man. When he came to the Palace Hotel to deliver a letter to Yao Qian on behalf of Xu Jin, it was this young man who was chatting with V at the elevator door. He seemed to be a very important person around Yao Qian.
Everyone lined up politely and walked into the venue one by one. Zheng Yubai and Ding Beibei were at the end. When they walked into the venue, the glass door closed behind them. The flashy noise outside seemed to be blocked out. Or maybe it was the luxurious decoration in the venue that made everyone hold their breath and quietly appreciate the glittering scene in front of them.
As soon as you enter the venue, you will see a huge black and beige entrance, with completely symmetrical glass and crystal decorations on all four sides. A wide variety of food is placed on the huge dining tables, and what is more eye-catching are the floating candles and large bunches of roses on them.
At the top of the venue is a surveillance camera with a 360-degree full-viewing angle. It is said that the cost of this security system alone is as high as 500 million yuan.
These were actually just for show. The only thing that really caught people's attention was the three booths in the center of the exhibition hall. The three large booths were covered with cloth, and their true appearance was not revealed, but their grandeur had already firmly grasped everyone's heart.
In fact, Zheng Yubai doesn't care about the so-called taste and style at all. He thinks those are all empty, just like the fancy moves in boxing. No matter how high you jump or how beautifully you gesture, what's the use if you can't defeat the enemy when the time comes to fight
Ding Beibei, like all the other women present, looked at the three exhibition stands with shining eyes. She pulled Zheng Yubai and whispered, "I heard that Tiffany brought their priceless yellow gem today. I must take a look at it later."
Zheng Yubai thought to himself that diamonds are indeed the nemesis of women. I really don’t know what’s so good about that little sparkling stone…
The young man wearing tortoise-shell glasses at the door walked to the middle of the three booths and smiled at the hundreds of participants in the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, let me introduce myself. My name is Murong Ping, and I am the host of this exhibition. Today is a very casual occasion, please feel free to be restrained. Now is an hour for dinner, please feel free to take food, and in an hour, the jewelry exhibition will start."
As soon as Murong Ping finished speaking, dozens of waiters came out from the side door, carrying all kinds of food and filling up a large table. Guests began to come to the table and freely take food and drinks. Because they were wearing masks, they didn't know each other, so they could let go of the constraints of their identities and chat with people who looked interesting.
Zheng Yubai and Ding Beibei took the food and ate in a corner while chatting. Ding Beibei was thinking about Tiffany's Bird on the Stone (the world's largest yellow diamond). Zheng Yubai listened absentmindedly, keeping an eye on all directions and paying attention to the actions in the field.
He saw the young man with tortoise-shell glasses chatting with a man wearing a skull mask. The man's hair was a little gray, and Zheng Yubai recognized it as Yao Qian at a glance.
Soon, the young man walked away, shuttled back and forth in the crowd, and came to Yao Qian's side with several men. They chatted in low voices for a few words, then walked out of the side door together, and went to an unknown place.
Zheng Yubai saw all of this, and was filled with doubts. Judging from the situation, the jewelry exhibition was just a cover. According to Caoji, there were many big international collectors participating in this exhibition. Could it be related to them
The more Zheng Yubai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. As he was pondering, he suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by in front of him.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Beibei saw Zheng Yubai turned his head away, and couldn't help but look over. She saw a lady walking away leisurely. The lady was wearing a graceful and gorgeous white evening dress. Her graceful figure looked very sexy and charming under the evening dress. Just looking at her back, she knew that she must be a stunning beauty.
"Hmph..." Ding Beibei was a little unhappy, but even she herself didn't know why.
Zheng Yubai finally realized it and scratched his head: "I thought I saw a friend."
"Friend?" Ding Beibei didn't believe it.
Zheng Yubai did think that this person looked familiar. Both her figure and the evening dress she was wearing reminded Zheng Yubai of Xu Jin. It was just a pity that she was wearing long white gloves that almost covered her entire arm. Otherwise, he could have judged whether she was Xu Jin from the tattoo. (To be continued)
