Love You Till the End

Chapter 626: Your Clothes Cost Over One Hundred Thousand, Right?

Qin Jin and Ye Zi arrived fashionably late, with an understated style of dress and entrance, yet still drew the gazes of many.

In Du City, few people knew Ye Zi because she rarely appeared in public with her father, so her appearance did not cause much of a stir.

But Qin Jin was different. Although not a native of Du City, his businesses had expanded substantially, with interests in numerous cities, and he had a broad network.

Therefore, some people were familiar with his name.

Standing next to him, Ye Zi naturally became the center of attention, and even those who originally did not plan to notice her couldn’t help but take a second glance.

Feeling uncomfortable with the attention, Ye Zi lowered her head.

Qin Jin took her hand and they sat down at a table, only to find that as soon as they were seated, the others at the table looked up at them.

Ye Zi felt a bit nervous, while Qin Jin appeared calm and composed.

He fished a pack of premium cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth and lit it, took a drag, then stood up and offered a cigarette to each of the men seated at the table.

Offering cigarettes is the most common way of socializing.

The men who received the cigarettes were investors in a new project by the Di Jing Group, not fabulously wealthy, but each owned assets worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Perhaps not much in the eyes of Shi Yu and Qin Jin, but to the average person, they were successful individuals of high society.

It is said that there are two essential elements for men when socializing.

One, a good car.

Two, good cigarettes.

What car you drive defines your status, and what cigarette you smoke defines your class. Both are used to cement your social circle.

The cigarettes that Qin Jin smoked were not incredibly expensive, but were still in the four-figure range.

So, right after he offered cigarettes, the recipients put on friendly smiles, and as they lit up, they politely asked him what high position he held.

Qin Jin didn’t reveal too much, only saying he was a small-time jeweler.

A small-time jeweler smoking such fine cigarettes?

Nobody bought it.

So, a series of more probing questions followed: How long have you been in the jewelry business? How do you make it so profitable? How much do you earn a year? Do you own a company? Is it listed?

Of course, Qin Jin was not going to answer all of these questions. He deflected simply and put an end to the conversation.

Qin Jin whispered something in Ye Zi’s ear and then got up to walk towards where Shi Yu was seated.

No sooner had he left than a noble lady leaned in, "The dress you’re wearing, that’s a TER limited edition of this season, right?"

Ye Zi paused before responding, "Oh, yes!"

"Costs well over a hundred thousand, doesn’t it?" the noble lady asked again.

"Yes, that’s right."

The lady laughed, "Your husband is just a small-time jeweler, isn’t he? How can you afford such? Even willing to buy you a dress worth more than a hundred thousand."

Ye Zi seemed uninterested in her questions and replied casually, "I don’t know why he would buy such an expensive dress for me to wear..."

"Doesn’t care about money, could it be he made it through smuggling?"

The noble lady’s voice was hushed, but Ye Zi heard her clearly.

Ye Zi exclaimed in surprise and then clarified, "He’s a legitimate merchant, not some smuggler!"

The noble lady covered her mouth and laughed, "Look at you getting all worked up. I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously, dear."

Ye Zi responded with a subdued ’oh’, clearly unenthusiastic.
