Chapter 425 Jewelry Exhibition
Yuanzi was excited: "Jewelry exhibition! Then, Master Kidd will definitely show up! Really, why didn't my uncle tell me anything? By the way, Xia Xi, do you know what special gems will be exhibited this time?"
Xia Xi shook her head gently. "Ningguang didn't say anything about the specific details of the gem exhibition in her text message. But since even Ningguang, who has a unique vision and broad knowledge, has described those gems as 'strange', I believe they must be rare gems that are hard to see and can make people's eyes light up."
After that, Xia Xi added some information she had learned: "However, I heard that the jewelry Ningguang provided for the exhibition this time was not only her collection over the years, but also sponsored by Zhongli."
Xiaolan blinked her eyes. Could it be that such a knowledgeable and talented person like Mr. Zhongli would also collect things like jewelry?
She also remembered that the last time she had dinner with Mr. Zhongli, he said he would treat her but forgot to bring his wallet, and put the bill in Tartaglia's name. Mao Lilan thought Mr. Zhongli was relatively poor, but he turned out to be so rich?
By the way, didn't Xia Xi just say that Tartaglia deliberately caused a lot of trouble for Zhongli's company? It seems that the two of them have a pretty good relationship.
However, this should also mean that Tartaglia should not have caused too much and irreparable harm to Mr. Zhongli and Miss Ningguang...
Yuanzi didn't care who provided the jewelry on display. She only cared whether the jewelry could attract the attention of Mr. Kidd. "Sponsored by Mr. Zhongli? What kind of jewelry would it be?"
Xia Xi: "Well... I remember there was the Xiase Pearl, which was carefully polished using traditional techniques. It is said that even in the dark it can emit a faint glow like dawn or dusk; there is also the Yuanqing Pearl, which is a black and purple pearl that seems to contain an ominous meaning. Looking into it, it seems that you can see the long-standing dream hidden in it; and the Recollection Stone, a golden gem of the opposite sex, and so on.
Oh, by the way, there is also a peculiar gem among gems. I remember it was called "Pandora". It is said to have special functions and will glow red under the moonlight.
Anyway, there are still a lot of them, but I don’t know how many of them will appear in this exhibition.”
Xiaolan was surprised: "Are these all Mr. Zhongli's collections?"
Xia Xi: "Of course."
Of course not, except for the fake "Pandora", the others were all materials she had worked hard to collect for the mission, but unfortunately most of them were used up to complete the mission. Especially the Stone of Tracing, in order to complete the mission of the Nine Pillars of Peace, she didn't know how many times she fell from those pillars that she had worked so hard to climb!
"Wow!" Yuanzi was also surprised, "Mr. Zhongli has so many gems. And these gems sound so interesting. I really want to see them with my own eyes soon.
In this way, plus some gems that Uncle Jirokichi just got, it will definitely attract Mr. Kidd. Hahaha!" Sonoko showed an exaggerated smile, "It seems that this time I can appreciate Mr. Kidd's heroic figure up close again."
Xiaolan: "......" Sonoko, you must have forgotten that you already have a boyfriend, Kyogoku Makoto...
Conan rolled his eyes: "...I really feel sorry for Sonoko's boyfriend. My girlfriend is so passionate about other men! Ugh!" As soon as he finished speaking, he held his head and cried out in pain.
"Little brat, what do you know about adult matters!" Sonoko punched Conan on the head in anger.
After beating him, Conan no longer paid attention to the dog's mouth that could not spit out ivory, and continued to discuss the upcoming jewelry exhibition with Xiaolan and Xia Xi.
Conan walked behind the girls with a bored look on his face. He was totally uninterested in what they were talking about jewelry. All he was thinking about was the purpose of Miss Ningguang's sudden jewelry exhibition with Mr. Suzuki, and whether it was related to the newly emerged organization "Zoo". He forgot about what Sister Xia Xi had introduced about the gems.
At the same time, in the Poirot Café, Bourbon and Cointreau were still confronting each other.
Amuro Toru looked at the gradually emptying environment with an expressionless face, then fixed his gaze on Jundu, with a faint and barely perceptible flash of murderous intent in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low and slightly threatening tone:
"Cointreau, if my memory serves me correctly, when Gin assigned the task, he clearly entrusted this matter to me alone to handle. However, at this moment, you appear here without any warning... Then, I would like to hear what special and important reason prompted you to appear so suddenly? I hope you can give me a reasonable and convincing explanation and reason."
As he spoke, Amuro Toru unconsciously took a small step forward, shortening the originally far distance between him and Jundu.
However, facing such an aggressive move by Toru Amuro, there was not even a ripple on Cointreau's handsome face, and his expression remained calm. He reached into his jacket pocket with his right hand and fumbled for something, and a moment later, a white envelope appeared in his hand.
At this time, because of Bourbon's movement, the distance between Cointreau and Bourbon is not very far. If you want to hand the envelope to the other party, you can easily do it by just slightly extending your arm.
But Cointreau threw the envelope directly in the direction of Bourbon, not caring whether Bourbon would catch it.
The envelope drew a parabola in the air and flew straight towards Bourbon.
Bourbon didn't let the envelope fall to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to catch it and frowned, saying, "What is this?" As he spoke, he opened the envelope.
"An invitation to the upcoming jewelry exhibition at the Qun Yu Pavilion." Jun Du said briefly.
After hearing what Cointreau said, Bourbon reached out and slowly took the invitation out of the envelope.
He pinched a corner of the invitation and unfolded it. When his eyes fell on the invitation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes - as expected, this was the invitation from the Qun Yu Pavilion!
I saw that the invitation was made very beautifully, with relevant information written in gold-plated fonts on it.
Bourbon read it carefully and found that it detailed that the event would be held in a week, and the organizer would be a collaboration between Gungyoku and Suzuki Group.
This event is a grand jewelry exhibition. Not only will friends and relatives of both parties be invited to attend, but we will also extend a sincere invitation to celebrities from all walks of life to come and admire those dazzling jewelry treasures.
