This pricing only considered purchasing power, not actual demand.

However, high-end jewelry wasn't as exaggerated. It was designed and made in advance, then sold directly to the public. Of course, these pieces could usually only be seen at exhibitions and were equally expensive.

Han Lie saw a hollow bracelet studded with diamonds in the catalog. It was all sparkly and super pretty.

But when he checked the price—wow, 4.98 million!

It's beautiful enough, he thought, but sadly, I can't afford it.

Of course, not all the jewelry styles in the catalog were unaffordable. Some cheaper ones were over a million, and the pricier ones were over twenty million; prices generally fell within that range.

Next, the manager gave Han Lie a detailed introduction to the design concept and wearing requirements of each piece of jewelry. Han Lie's repository of useless knowledge expanded yet again.

And there Han Lie sat, listening calmly, nodding from time to time, as if he really intended to buy something.

Yu Yun was completely numb.

"...Sir, if you want to gift a young lady jewelry, the ideal situation would be to bring her to the exhibition. After verifying your funds, she could then try it on.

"If that's not convenient, then you need to carefully consider the factor of 'volume' or 'presence.'

"The so-called 'volume' refers to whether the jewelry's design is substantial enough and whether it complements the customer's facial features, physique, and neckline.

"For instance, if she is a delicate lady with small facial features, you should opt for jewelry with a smaller 'volume.' It's best to avoid multi-layered, ornate, and intricate earrings or necklaces that have a very large 'volume' or feel too heavy.

"To give you an analogy, a 1.95-meter-tall, very muscular man driving a Ferrari supercar—that's just not a good match.

"Gifting jewelry to a young lady is quite an art. If it's not suitable, you might spend a lot of money only to achieve the opposite effect..."

Good grief, that lesson made Han Lie quite dizzy.

But after the dizziness, Han Lie had actually learned a lot.

For instance, the simple, thin bracelet he initially wanted to buy for Chen Yanfei wasn't really suitable for her.

On the contrary, the LOVE bracelet that Han Lie had initially dismissed, especially the rose-gold one set with diamonds, actually suited her very well.

There really are specialists in every field...

Han Lie had come to greatly trust the manager's professionalism, so he directly asked his questions.

"I need a bracelet or bangle with a larger presence, but it can't be too expensive. My relationship with that friend is quite normal, so the gift should be moderate.

Then I also need a necklace with a medium presence; anything from tens of thousands up to the low hundred thousands is fine.

Lastly, I need an anklet. This one can be a bit more expensive, but it must be unique and beautiful.

Do you have any suggestions?"

The manager thought for a moment, flipped the promotional catalog to the middle, and pointed.

"This bracelet here is very pretty and can be worn around the ankle without any problem."

It was a multi-strand wrapped bracelet adorned with numerous jadeite pendants that looked like tiny green leaves.

At first glance, Han Lie felt a strong connection to it.

Pan Ge would definitely love it!

Then he saw the price—wow, 2.88 million...

Those hanging jadeite pendants must be the so-called 'glass-type imperial green,' he thought. They're incredibly translucent and beautiful.

But the problem is, those green leaves are smaller than a pinky fingernail. They're obviously just leftover fragments from making something else. Cartier is such a rip-off!

Han Lie glanced at the LV fashion watch on his wrist, worth over a million, then thought about the 500,000 fund from Panzi and the 1.5 million Pan Ge had lent him.

After pondering for five seconds, he made his decision.

"That's the one! How much of a deposit do I need to pay? And when can I take it?"

The manager was overjoyed, her enthusiasm instantly skyrocketing.

"You just need to pay 10% of the total price as a deposit. After the exhibition ends, you can pay the full amount and take it with you!"

You have to risk a sprat to catch a mackerel, Han Lie mused. Big ventures demand big risks.

He took out his bank card and pushed it forward, "Charge it."

As soon as the nonchalant words left his mouth, Yu Yun immediately clutched her chest, gasping for air, and slumped weakly into Han Lie's arms.

Han Lie: ???

I haven't even made my move yet, and you're trying to pull a fast one?!

Though it was a bit unexpected, Han Lie let her continue her act, fully embracing a noncommittal, 'bad boy' persona on the spot.
