59: Venus descended to earth

So beautiful!

Lei Jun fell in love with this set of jewelry at first sight.

She made her decision in an instant.

She had to have it.

She signaled Tony to ask the Person in Charge, James, if this set of jewelry was for sale.

James walked over and praised how the "moon goddesss teardrop" perfectly matched her temperament.

But then, his expression turned troubled, and he expressed his regret.

"Miss Lei, you truly have excellent taste. However, this 'moon goddesss teardrop' is a key non-sale item for our exhibition. It still needs to go on a touring exhibition across several more cities, so it cannot be sold for the time being. I am truly sorry."

Hearing this, Lei Jun felt a wave of disappointment swell within her.

What a pity, such beautiful jewelry.

She had never been one to force things; since it wasn't for sale, she could only let it go.

Their conversation was overheard by Wu Tian and Bi Qingshuang nearby. Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat.

The opportunity had come!

He realized this was a perfect chance to show off and earn a favor from Lei Jun.

He immediately stepped forward to exchange pleasantries with James, then quietly pulled him to a quiet corner.

"James, you're being foolish!"

Wu Tian lowered his voice, his tone serious.

"Do you know what kind of background that Miss Lei has?"

"Let me put it this way, you know Zhang Biao, right?"

"He's considered a significant figure in Dragon City, yet he's still lying in the hospital now, with his life hanging in the balance, all because of her. If you want to grow your business big and strong in the Dragon Kingdom, you can offend anyone but her!"

"Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to take a single step in the Dragon Kingdom's high-end jewelry circles in the future!"

After hearing this, James felt a storm of shock erupt in his heart.

He had heard a bit about Zhang Biao's situation, but he never expected it was the work of this Miss Lei!

Was Lei Jun's background some hidden super family?

Or was she an existence with special powers?

The more he thought, the more afraid he became. Realizing he had actually rejected her just now, cold sweat instantly soaked through his shirt.

He frantically wiped away his sweat.

"Young Master Wu... Young Master Wu, thank you for the reminder!"

"I... did I already offend Miss Lei just now?"

"What should I do? Is there any way to fix this?"

Wu Tian saw that he was thoroughly spooked and laughed inwardly, though on the surface he looked like he was disappointed in him.

"Are you stupid? Her taking an interest in that jewelry is giving you face!"

"Go over there right now, this instant, and take the initiative to sell that jewelry to her!"

"Your attitude must be incredibly respectful and sincere!"

James had an epiphany, suddenly feeling like he had just survived a disaster.

Right, right, right!

Sell it to her!

I must sell it!

He thanked Wu Tian repeatedly: "Thank you for the guidance, Young Master Wu. I can't thank you enough for this great kindness!"

"Go quickly, if you're any later, it might really be too late," Wu Tian urged.

James hurriedly straightened his appearance and almost jogged back to Lei Jun, his face plastered with the most humble smile.

"Miss Lei, I am ten thousand times sorry!"

"I was foolish just now. After urgent communication with headquarters, we unanimously believe that spiritual jewelry like the 'moon goddesss teardrop' can only truly radiate its brilliance when worn by a perfect owner like yourself!"

"We are extremely honored to be able to sell the 'moon goddesss teardrop' to you!"

Lei Jun was first delighted that she could buy it.

Then she felt a bit confused—why the sudden change in attitude?

Didn't he just say it wasn't for sale?

Seeing her confused expression, James did a favor for Wu Tian and whispered.

"I also have to thank Mr. Wu Tian for his reminder, which prevented me from making a huge mistake."

So it was Wu Tian... Lei Jun understood instantly.

She noted this favor.

Her impression of Wu Tian improved quite a bit.

She readily swiped her card to pay thirty-six million.

James presented the exquisitely packaged jewelry box with both hands, incredibly respectful: "Miss Lei, it is our brand's greatest honor that you chose our jewelry!"

Bi Qingshuang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Thirty-six million... she bought it just like that, without even blinking... she's rich and has a powerful background.

I'm so jealous!

Tony couldn't wait to take out the "moon goddesss teardrop" and carefully put it on Lei Jun.

When that dreamlike azure blue landed on her fair and slender neck, it was as if it had been instantly infused with a soul.

The cold gemstone merged perfectly with her cool temperament. Silver hair, snowy skin, and blue sapphire intertwined to create an ultimate beauty that transcended the mortal realm, as if a lunar goddess had descended to earth, or an Elven Queen stepping out of ancient mythology—noble, mysterious, and inviolable.

The gaze of the entire hall involuntarily focused on her once again, and exclamations of surprise rose one after another.

"My God... wearing that jewelry, she looks just like the Ice Goddess from Norse mythology!"

"I've never seen anyone wear jewelry with such an effect. It's as if the jewelry is complementing her, rather than her displaying the jewelry."

"So dazzling, I don't even dare to look directly at her. I feel like even one more glance is a desecration."

"Is this really a beauty that a human can possess? I suspect I'm seeing an elf."

"Check this lady's background. We must strive for a cooperation at any cost."

"Where's the photographer? Quick, this scene must be recorded. This is definitely the most perfect moment of the night, maybe even the year!"

"I feel like us mortals being here is simply an insult to her background..."

Tony was so excited he almost fainted. He clutched his chest and screamed loudly.

"Venus! Venus has descended to earth!"

"My God!"

The people around them nodded one after another; no one refuted him.

Lei Jun's beauty at this moment had already exceeded the category of 'good-looking'; it was a stunning beauty that made people forget to breathe.

James, the Person in Charge, was even more stirred, and a thought emerged that he couldn't suppress.

He took a deep breath and said sincerely.

"Miss Lei, your compatibility with our brand is truly unparalleled. I sincerely invite you to serve as our brand's global spokesperson!"

"I believe that with your endorsement, our jewelry will surely take the world by storm!"

Without even thinking, Lei Jun shook her head and refused: "Not interested."

She had absolutely no interest in making public appearances or being bound by contracts.

James didn't give up and hurriedly pulled out his gold-inlaid business card, offering it with both hands: "Miss Lei, please reconsider. If you change your mind at any time, please contact me!"

"This would absolutely be our brand's highest honor!"

Lei Jun had no choice but to casually take the business card.

After staying for a while longer, Lei Jun noticed that with the addition of the "moon goddesss teardrop," she seemed to have become the sole focus of the entire venue.

No matter where she went, she could feel countless gazes closely following her—some were amazed, some were inquiring, some were fawning... this made her feel a bit uncomfortable and awkward.

She found Tony, Wu Tian, and James, and gave a simple greeting: "I'm leaving now."

The three of them didn't dare to be negligent and respectfully escorted her and Lei Ying all the way to the door. They watched as Lei Ying opened the car door for her and protected her as she sat into that pagani. Only when the sports car's taillights disappeared into the night did they each breathe a sigh of relief.
