Chapter 99: 099 Losing everything to pay the debt [1 more update]She hadn’t gone to settle accounts with Nie Shuangyi first, yet Nie Shuangyi’s people had taken the initiative to seek her out?
Then she won’t hold back or be polite when she tears off the pretense!
"No problem, your necklace is only 180,000." Cheng Qingli was calm and composed, "I thought it was a high-order custom jewelry from FE or from their high-end line. Seems it’s not much after all."
The cheapest necklace from the FE family, with only one pearl set in it, is priced at fifteen thousand.
High-end line jewelry also includes pieces that are priced over a million, and high-order custom jewelry even reaches eight or even nine digits.
However, given Yeh Jialing’s status in the entertainment industry, she didn’t qualify to wear FE’s current-season high custom styles; she could only borrow out-of-season ones.
Pulling the Sky Company is planning to develop a jewelry line and, as the general manager appointed by Ye Wanlan, Cheng Qingli naturally had already comprehensively re
He could even hear himself swallowing, and his hand involuntarily reached out.
Yan Tingfeng: "Curator Xiang."
"Ah? Oh, oh, it is indeed the work of ancient techniques!" Curator Xiang came back to his senses and exclaimed repeatedly, "This phoenix is crafted so beautifully, even the big gold shops I’ve visited cannot match this level of craftsmanship."
Ye Wanlan nodded, then offered a photo: "This one is just the basic model, and there’s another for your review."
"Just the basic model?" Curator Xiang was shocked, hurriedly taking it and then gasping the next second, "My heavens!"
There had been too many art thefts in Shenzhou, and he had visited the Starman Federal Empire Museum, where many pieces of jewelry used by royalty and nobility were kept, so exquisitely made they were beyond description.
He had also always regretted that these ancient techniques had not been completely passed down.
"Where is the actual item? Where is it?" Curator Xiang asked urgently, "Quick, quick, take me to see it, please."
Yan Tingfeng spoke unhurriedly, "It was destroyed."
Curator Xiang’s smile froze instantly, and a second later he leaped up, "What?!"
This piece of art that was worthy of being in a museum, had it really been destroyed?!
"Who is it? Which blind dog dared to destroy such a masterpiece of art?" Curator Xiang was extremely angry.
"Curator, don’t get agitated, we have the skills but lack the popularity," Ye Wanlan said, "This necklace was directly targeted at the high-end market; we will continue producing it."
Curator Xiang stuttered, "Can... can it still be produced?"
He looked blankly at Yan Tingfeng.
How did this youngster come to know such a formidable person?
He was deeply envious!
"We will also need the curator’s assistance when the time comes," Ye Wanlan said with a smile emerging, "Once it’s successful, I will specially donate a set of ancient-style jewelry to the museum."
"No problem!" Curator Xiang agreed without hesitation, "Whatever help you need, I’m at your service."
"I’ll take him to the hotel first," Yan Tingfeng said with a slight wink, "Miss Ye, see you in a bit."

Returning to the lounge, Ye Wanlan powered up her computer.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Ye, the surveillance you requested has arrived! It captured the process of Yeh Jialing forcibly tearing off Miss Nie Shuangyi’s necklace," Bing He hurried over, presenting a USB drive, "This time it’s in 1080p HD!"
He had already berated the tech department of Bureau 723 last time, and as a result, Bureau 723 specifically got in touch with the International Strategic Studies Institute to bring in a batch of new equipment.
After a period of effort, they had finally managed to significantly improve their technology and were now able to restore video resolution to 1080p HD.
Bing He was extremely cautious because he truly feared that this mysterious and unpredictable Miss Ye might pull out a 4K 60fps restored surveillance video the next second.
"Oh?" Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "You knew I needed the surveillance?"
Bing He was embarrassed: "It wasn’t me, it was the gentleman’s orders."
Ye Wanlan responded with a hum, "Your gentleman is always thoughtful."
Having known Tingfeng for a month, she found that the unfathomable aspects of him were only increasing.
A worthy opponent in life is a good thing.
After inserting the USB drive into the computer, Ye Wanlan brought up the surveillance video, narrowed her eyes slightly, and sent the video to the company’s publicity department.
At that moment, netizens were still in heated debate.
And marketing accounts had also sprung into action, elevating the necklace incident to new heights.
[Gossip alert—reports claim that Nie Shuangyi and Yeh Jialing are at odds, with Nie tearing Yeh’s necklace and shamelessly claiming her own necklace was damaged by Yeh.]
[Nie Shuangyi has no shame! Not famous but full of temperament, and tries to ride on others’ coattails. Without Jialing, she couldn’t even get into the cast.]
Ye Wanlan was monitoring the situation closely, and when she saw that the entry had reached the top position, she hit the enter key.
[That will do.]
The publicity department acted swiftly and decisively.
[@PullingTheSkyV: We specially commissioned a group of Shenzhou’s intangible heritage craftsmen to design an ancient-style necklace, selecting the rarest Dragon Stone Type of jade as the main material and embellishing it with gold and red diamonds, priced at 36 million.
Unfortunately, this necklace was destroyed by @YehJialing. We have filed a police report—you will pay for it, even if it costs you everything.]
