Everyone was silent.
All these Movie Divas were here to look for Shen Qianshu so they could clinch business deals with her?
Guan Xiaoman said, “Are you busy?”
“Nope!” Shen Qianshu said and smiled. “We’re talking about my resignation.”
Guan Xiaoman raised her brows and felt strange. She looked at everyone in Guan Xiaoman and said calmly, “No worries. We’ll follow you wherever you go. We aren’t here for the brand anyway. We only care about the people we work with.”
“…” Everyone was speechless.
Guan Xiaoman was one of the most popular female stars in the entertainment industry these past few years. The crowd followed her wherever she went. When she was married, the entertainment industry was there. Now, she was also still very popular. Her group of ‘sisters’ were behind her, and they were all famous jewelry hobbyists.
“Things are going so well. Why are you resigning?” a pretty lady said.
“Yeah, why are you resigning? We wish we could get Gubelin’s appraisals. I have a lot of collections at home, and I was hoping for Miss Shen to appraise them…”
“Yeah, my Grandpa collected 6 jewels from the Song Dynasty. I was hoping for Miss Shen to appraise them. I wanted a Gubelin appraisal. It would be such a pity if you leave.”
“Right. I have some gems and jade from the Ming and Qing Dynasty. I wanted to have Miss Shen take a look.”
“Oh it’s such a pity.”
The beautiful ladies looked at Shen Qianshu as if they were very close to her. Shen Qianshu smiled gratefully. When she was being wrongly accused and not being able to clear her name, this group of people had come to give her support.
When the boss heard that they were all ancient objects, his eyes lit up.
If they were all ancient objects, one appraisal could earn him enough for months. He could even become famous. The labs of Gubelin were not so popular in Asia yet. They were in need of some publicity right then.
He had been worrying about how he was going to do publicity, but now that he had left that matter on hold, the opportunity had come to his doorstep. That was indeed an awesome thing.
The Boss said immediately, “Even if Qianshu is no longer at Gubelin, we have many professional appraisers who can do the job as well.”
He had to get this group of clients.
Lu Mengxi’s assistant said, “In Gubelin, we have someone who’s more popular than Shen Qianshu.”
Guan Xiaoman raised her brows. “Who?”
Zhou Lulu said immediately, “Miss Guan, actually… Miss Lu Mengxi here is a very popular appraiser internationally. She is way more valuable than Shen Qianshu. If she does your appraisal, it would definitely be of a higher standard.”
Lu Mengxi stood at the side humbly and revealed a gentle smile, but in the next second, her face stiffened.
“Lu Mengxi… Appraiser? Who?”
“Haven’t you heard of her?”
“No? Is she some rich lady? Her certification must have been bought?”
“Gosh. I remember the woman who tried to steal the limelight from Shen Qianshu at the stone gambling competition. She also accused Shen Qianshu of cheating, but she ended up being the one who got kick*ssed.”
“Oh. I remember her. Oh… So it’s her. She doesn’t feel shame for being an appraiser?”
“Oh gosh… I feel awkward for her.”
The ladies hurled the remarks one after another. Lu Mengxi’s face turned pale as if her face had been skinned and thrown on the floor to be stepped on. Her chest expanded and contracted very obviously. “Y-You guys…”
“Isn’t Lu Mengxi the eldest daughter of the Lu Family?” Guan Xiaoman raised her brows. “How good can the Lu Family raise a daughter? Lu Mengyun is still picking up soap in prison. Who cares about getting an appraisal from Lu Mengxi?”
She paused. “I only want a Gubelin appraisal with Shen Qianshu’s name on it.”
