Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Buying a Jade Pendant_1

PS: Brothers, happy Valentine’s Day, wishing all lovers in the world a happily ever after!

Thus, the four of them went their separate ways, with Bai Zicong driving away with Chen Zhengxin, while Li Changlin hailed a taxi with Qian Ziwei, heading to Shangjiu Road.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the intersection of Shangjiu Road. Li Changlin paid the fare and got out of the taxi with Qian Ziwei.

Walking on the sidewalk, Qian Ziwei naturally took Li Changlin’s arm, the two walking closely and at a leisurely pace.

Shangjiu Road had many boutiques, in addition to bags, leather goods, and jewelry. There were also a number of shops selling jade and antiques.

Li Changlin thought about the piece of nourishing jade he gifted Lin Ruonan and decided to look for an appropriate jade gift for Qian Ziwei.

So he led Qian Ziwei into a jade shop called Taotao Residence.

As the two entered the shop, a sales assistant greeted them warmly.

"Welcome to Taotao Residence, how may I assist you today?" The sales assistant was a young woman, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, clad in a professional suit.

She first glanced at Qian Ziwei.

Generally, to gauge a customer’s income level, one can analyze the woman’s attire and dressing style.

As for men, their purchasing power actually depends on the woman’s desire to buy.

However, this time the sales assistant was disappointed because Qian Ziwei’s attire was very ordinary, with nothing particularly striking.

This girl didn’t have many materialistic demands. Although she was a boss with a decent status, she never flaunted her wealth.

Not only had Qian Ziwei not purchased any luxury items, even her clothes were rarely over a hundred yuan each.

Unable to make a judgment based on Qian Ziwei’s appearance, the sales assistant slowly turned her head and set her gaze on Li Changlin.

"So handsome!" Upon seeing Li Changlin clearly, the sales assistant momentarily lost focus, her eyes involuntarily lighting up.

"Show us the jade pendants and jade plaques, please." Li Changlin nodded indifferently. He was already immune to such looks from sales assistants.

"Of course, please follow me." Li Changlin’s words snapped the sales assistant out of her daze.

She quickly recovered, stole another glance at Li Changlin, then turned and walked towards a counter on the right.

The counter displayed all kinds of fine jade pendants and jade stones, carved or mounted, with prices ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

Li Changlin looked at them one by one and realized that none of the jade pendants and plaques on display matched Qian Ziwei’s temperament.

He shook his head slightly in disappointment, "Sorry, none of these are to my liking."

"Sir, could you please tell me what you’re looking for?" Seeing the look of disappointment in Li Changlin’s eyes, the sales assistant, for some reason, felt an inexplicable ache in her heart.

Li Changlin smiled gracefully, "I don’t have any specific requests, mainly it should suit my girlfriend’s temperament."

As he mentioned Qian Ziwei, a tender expression flashed through Li Changlin’s eyes.

This girl, she really knew how to make him dote on her, willing to do anything for him.

As soon as Li Changlin thought about this, his heart was filled with fervor, and even his nostrils seemed to flare in response, as he felt waves of heat rush out from them.

"Your girlfriend is really beautiful," the female store clerk praised sincerely. Honestly, she felt the inexplicable ache in her heart get worse. Taking a deep breath through her nose, she tried her best to calm down, "Sir, our boutique section on the second floor of Taotao Residence should have what you’re looking for. You both can follow me up to take a look. It’s just that the prices in the boutique section are a bit higher than on the first floor."

The jade stones and jadeite sold in the boutique section were all priced over one hundred thousand.

In fact, while saying this, the female store clerk was hesitant.

After all, judging by the clothes Li Changlin and Qian Ziwei were wearing, neither of them seemed to be particularly wealthy.

The store clerk was also a bit worried; if she took them up there and they took a liking to a jade pendant or jade piece that they couldn’t afford, wouldn’t that leave her to blame?

However, after she saw Li Changlin’s look of disappointment and loss, for some reason she still made the decision.

Truth be told, this decision carried a certain risk for the store clerk.

"Then we’ll trouble you," Li Changlin didn’t think too much and nodded immediately upon hearing this.

Thus, the store clerk led the two of them to the boutique section on the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor was much smaller, and the jade stones and jadeite on sale here were much more upscale.

In this boutique section, one could say that there were no items priced under a hundred thousand. Therefore, the prices of the jade stones and jadeite were plainly labeled, with no room for bargaining.

The store clerk first took them to the jade pendant counter, where all the jade pendants were carved from single pieces of jade stone, and their varieties were among the top twenty in the jade category.

Li Changlin looked at each one, consulting with Qian Ziwei for her opinion along the way.

After all, the reason he wanted to purchase a jade pendant was to give Qian Ziwei a present.

But Qian Ziwei wasn’t really into such large jade pendants.

Being a smart girl, she naturally guessed why Li Changlin wanted to buy a piece of jade or a jade pendant.

Since that was the case, Qian Ziwei wasn’t coy about it and let Li Changlin move to the jade pendant counter to make a selection.

The jade pendant counter was only a few steps away from the jade pendant counter, and the three arrived at the counter where a young man in his thirties received them.

"Brother Zhao, could you help introduce jade pendants to these two?" The store clerk smiled sweetly, looking very familiar with the male clerk known as Brother Zhao.

"Sure, do the two of you have any specific requirements? Like price, type of jade, shape of the pendant, and so on. Additionally, Taotao Residence accepts custom orders; we can make a pendant in the shape you desire based on your requirements," the male clerk was also very professional, and although he sensed that the attire of Li Changlin and Qian Ziwei was quite ordinary, he didn’t show any disdain.

This is professional ethics: to a genuine service provider, there is no distinction between high and low in customers.

Especially since Li Changlin and his companion were personally brought up by the female store clerk, no matter what, the male clerk had to give some face.

"Let’s take a look first, we don’t have too many specific requirements," Li Changlin said with a nod as a greeting, and then he began to look carefully.

"All right, feel free to ask me any questions you have at any time," the male clerk said with a smile on his face, but inwardly he was grumbling with discontent. Damn, how could this guy be so handsome; I’m so envious!
