Chapter 737: Chapter 737 Cleaning Up The Trash(5)_1
The female cashier led Cai Wei to the hall on the second floor. Unlike the counter on the first floor, which was made of sour branch wood, the counter on the second floor was unexpectedly crafted from yellow pear wood.
The jewelry displayed on the second floor was indeed of a higher grade than that on the first floor, with more refined craftsmanship. The gemstones on the jewelry had a far better quality than those on the first floor.
She was accompanied by the female cashier as she browsed around. She discovered that the majority of the jewelry exhibited here was grand and extravagant in style. For instance, the set of magnificent jewelry featuring a phoenix wearing peony flowers was recommended to Cai Wei by the female cashier. That set was finely crafted with lifelike golden peonies, ruby stamens, emerald leaves. The phoenix was also made to look lifelike, its eyes adorned with small rubies, and it was holding a string of pink pearls in its mouth which looked like tassels and looked eye-catching when worn.
However, Cai Wei felt that Fei’er was still too young, and the style of such jewelry simply did not suit her. The rubies on the jewelry were overpowering and pressurizing. If worn by someone with high attractiveness and good temperament, it could exude an imposing air of elegance. But if worn by people with low attractiveness and poor temperament, they would just appear like nouveaux riches adorned in glaring gold. Rather than buying such a piece of jewelry, it would be better to have a set of simple and low-key diamond pieces made. It would not only suit her age but also reveal understated luxury!
So, after a casual browse, she proposed to the female cashier to customize a set of jewelry herself. What she needed from Masterpiece Building was for them to provide the craftsmanship.
Under normal circumstances, the female cashier would have refused this request outright. However, she had taken a liking to Cai Wei and reluctantly stated, "Arguably, we at the Masterpiece Building do not take on such requests, but I can inquire about it for you and see if we can make an exception. However, I am unsure what kind of jewelry the lady wishes to customize?"
Cai Wei replied, "I want to make a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond hairpin, and a pair of diamond bracelets...."
The female cashier was startled by Cai Wei’s declaration. It’s important to know that diamonds are the most valuable gemstones in the Masterpiece Building. The total number of diamonds in the entire Masterpiece Building would not exceed 120, which was nowhere near enough to make so many pieces of jewelry. However, this young lady wanted to craft so many items all at once. Could it be that she.... truly possessed so many diamonds?
Cai Wei seemed to notice the female cashier’s skepticism and smiled charmingly. She opened the bundle she carried with her and showed the diamonds inside to her.
With just one glance, the dazzling diamonds managed to capture the attention of all the Madams and young mistresses present in the hall. They were dumbfounded as they stared at the ordinary-dressed girl with a gauze hat. They simply could not believe their own eyes.
So many brilliant and dazzling diamonds, they were genuine diamonds!
One proud-faced and slightly plump woman stepped forward and said to Cai Wei, "Miss, I am Li Shanggong, a close attendant of Noble Concubine Jin. I am specifically tasked to buy jewelry for Noble Concubine Jin. May I inquire whether your diamonds are for sale?"
Cai Wei calmly wrapped up her bundle again and said faintly, "I’m sorry, they are not for sale."
Publicly rejected by Cai Wei, Li Shanggong instantly felt embarrassed. One must know, she represented Noble Concubine Jin and her humiliation implied an insult to Noble Concubine Jin. Had this little girl swallowed the gall of an ambitious leopard? How dare she refuse Noble Concubine Jin?
Her expression hardened, and she laughed coldly, "Young missy, I suggest that you should think carefully. If you sell your stuff to Noble Concubine Jin and she is pleased, she will assure you won’t suffer any losses."
With an aloof tone, Cai Wei replied, "Thank you for the heads-up, but I simply don’t want to sell them. Presumably, Noble Concubine Jin wouldn’t be upset over such a trivial matter!"
