Scanning the surroundings, Lu Tianxing discovered that almost every jewelry company's exhibit had these jade carvings prepared. He glanced at Bai Zhiqing and asked, "Honey, I've never attended a jewelry exhibition, but I've learned a bit about them. A jewelry exhibition is nothing more than displaying some jewelry, jade, necklaces, bracelets, and jade pendants. But I'm curious, why do you need these jade carvings too? And it looks like they were handmade rather than machine-carved. What's their purpose?"
"Of course they have a purpose, and a very important one at that."
Bai Zhiqing, holding Lu Tianxing's arm, softly explained, "When you walked in, didn't you notice how many rich people were outside? For rich people, they all like unique jewelry that's not identical to others. And many wealthy people don't like machine-made jade pieces; they believe they lack the soul of handmade craftsmanship. So, these jade carvings prepared by jewelry companies are all handmade treasures. One reason is to show off how amazing their jewelers are, and the other is to tell those rich people, when you come to our company to choose jewelry, our master carvers are the best in the world. Whatever you can imagine, we can carve it, and it's all one of a kind."
Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, Lu Tianxing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Honey, what you're saying is that these rich people are like fat fish, and these jade carvings are the bait, specifically used to attract these wealthy people, right?"
"Exactly, for a jewelry company, besides reputation, it's about cultivating reputation among these rich people. If even rich people don't chase after these luxury goods, how would they become popular among ordinary people?" Bai Zhiqing said with a soft laugh.
Lu Tianxing nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging that Bai Zhiqing was right. Many things indeed start trending among the wealthy, and people tend to have a mindset of comparison. They believe that wearing the same jewelry or clothes as the rich brings them one step closer to upper society.
Just like the LV bags that are popular among women. Apart from the notable brand name, the bags they sell for several hundred thousand yuan can be imitated for just several hundred yuan, and the quality isn't inferior. It's because they become trendy in wealthy circles that they are eagerly pursued by ordinary people.
"I see, now I finally understand why you women like to chase after name brands."
Lu Tianxing smiled at Bai Zhiqing and said, "By the way, honey, where is Bai's Group's jewelry exhibit this time?"
"It's right ahead, let's head over!"
Bai Zhiqing led Lu Tianxing as they walked towards the exhibit.
Soon, a not-so-small exhibit hall appeared before Lu Tianxing's eyes. At the top of the exhibit, the words Bai's jewelry company were prominent, shining brightly under the lights. Inside the exhibit, all kinds of exquisite jewelry were displayed on the racks, dazzling under the lights, capturing attention with just one look, especially for women, it's two hundred percent irresistible.
These jewels are the best of the best. To put it bluntly, if daring robbers dared to rob here and escaped successfully with just five or six pieces, the money from those jewels would be enough for them to live lavishly for a lifetime.
Of course, that's just hypothetical. The defenses around here aren't an ironclad web, but they're not far off. Even if you managed to rob, you probably wouldn't escape.
"Honey, it seems your old classmate treats you well, giving you such a spot. It's not the top position, but definitely not bad," Lu Tianxing admired the jewelry as he spoke to Bai Zhiqing.
"Of course. I was a good friend of hers back then, and I taught her Chinese," Bai Zhiqing said with a faint smile. She hadn't expected Li Ya to provide her with such an exhibit location. Given Bai's jewelry company's background, even if they qualified to participate in this jewelry exhibition, the location would likely be in the corner, not near such a prime spot.
"Honey, I didn't expect you have the potential to be a teacher."
Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and chuckled, "Honey, I'm not good at Chinese. Why don't you teach me in a teacher's uniform tonight? I'll aim to get a college diploma next year, how about that?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Bai Zhiqing's face instantly blushed. Having been with Lu Tianxing for so long, how could she not understand the implication behind his words? Clearly, he planned to seduce her with some roleplay.
"Get lost, your imagination is too wild. Don't forget what I told you on the plane – without my consent, you're not allowed to touch me. This warning hasn't been lifted yet, so behave, or I'll castrate you."
Bai Zhiqing glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing, raised her delicate jade finger to make a scissor gesture, waved it before Lu Tianxing's eyes, then moved it down slightly, mimicking a cutting motion with force, the meaning obvious.
Lu Tianxing's face darkened, cold sweat covering his face, "Honey, don't be so ruthless, okay?"
"Hmph, dealing with you scoundrel, I have to be ruthless."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Zhiqing released Lu Tianxing's arm and strode towards the Bai's jewelry company's exhibit.
As she entered the exhibit, the smile and warmth on Bai Zhiqing's face vanished without a trace, and she emitted a cold and aloof aura, completely transforming into a strong woman. Her eyes carried a subtle air, giving one a sense of pressure upon a single glance.
"Good morning, Chairwoman."
"Chairwoman, you're here."
"Chairwoman...."
Seeing Bai Zhiqing arrive, the staff of Bai's jewelry company, busy in the exhibit, immediately stood up straight as if they were soldiers being inspected, all greeting Lu Tianxing.
"Chairwoman, you're here. I'm sorry, Chairwoman, the exhibition is about to start in over ten minutes. We are hurrying to check the exhibit to prevent any accidents. We didn't have time to greet you, please don't blame us." Amidst the crowd, a woman in her thirties with a beauty mark on her chin hurriedly came out from the exhibit, speaking respectfully to Bai Zhiqing.
This woman was Li Lan, the overseas manager of Bai's Jewelry Group Company and the person in charge of this jewelry exhibition.
