For a moment, the banquet hall filled with sighs.

Zhou Zidong watched a group of people looking dejected and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Poor fellows, they probably just realized that they had hurried here only to serve as a backdrop!

After chatting casually with Gelangqiao, Zhou Zidong smoothly changed the topic to the most important thing at this event.

The ten jewelry design drawings.

"Gelangqiao, I heard you secluded yourself for a year, what have you been up to? I've truly missed you during this year."

Bringing up this matter, Gelangqiao seemed somewhat troubled, shook his head, and sighed, "It's indeed headache-inducing, as you know, since the last time I launched three pieces of jewelry, I haven't released any new work."

"It's quite funny, actually, the main reason is that I didn't have much inspiration to support the creation..."

"This..."

Even the globally recognized design genius could run out of ideas; everyone present was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Zhou Zidong, however, didn't think much of it; Gelangqiao had always been a genius, even if he ran out of ideas, it would only be temporary.

And isn't this time he brought ten design drawings?

He smiled and said, "Gelangqiao, you're too modest. If even you run out of ideas, then who in the world dares claim they can design jewelry?

"Besides, during this year, you also found inspiration and designed ten pieces of jewelry, right?"

"This..."

Regarding Zhou Zidong's praise, Gelangqiao seemed not quite pleased and was even less eager to discuss the ten design drawings.

Gelangqiao sipped some red wine and mumbled unclearly, "I suppose..."

"Then congratulations to you! These ten pieces of jewelry, I believe, will once again create a sensation in the world!"

Zhou Zidong did not pay much attention to the displeasure on Gelangqiao's face. He was only thinking about how to make a big splash once the Zhou family got those ten drawings.

"Hmm…"

For some reason, Gilbert's smile was a bit bitter, as if he had some unspeakable secret, but with so many people around, he didn't continue speaking.

Zhou Zidong was immersed in the victory he was about to achieve and did not notice this subtle change in expression; he smiled and continued to ingratiate, "Gelangqiao, every time you design jewelry, you use one element as the theme and then create a series of jewelry. May I know what the theme is for these ten pieces?"

After thinking for a bit, Gelangqiao said with a laugh and cry, "Love."

"Love?"

Zhou Zidong listened, furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, that is a particularly good gimmick."

The main users of jewelry are women, and love is what they long for the most.

For jewelry, the theme of love is timeless.

If you count today's most precious jewelry, those positioned highest in value all carry a unique love story.

This time, with love as the theme and his own design, Zhou Zidong couldn't imagine the massive waves these jewelry would cause in the market upon their release!

Although he had just assured Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie confidently, just as Xu Fan had expected, Zhou Zidong had not yet negotiated the deal for the designs.

Now, he looked at Gelangqiao with determination and spoke directly, "Gelangqiao, I won't beat around the bush, I am very interested in these ten jewelry design drawings, may I know if you..."

Gelangqiao obviously understood Zhou Zidong's intention and nodded, saying, "You and I could also be considered friends, and indeed your Zhou family is a good partner, but…"

"But what?" Zhou Zidong frowned, feeling a bit uneasy.

Gelangqiao sighed and said, "This time the theme of the jewelry is love, and love, well, I can't quite define it, so I want to hear what you all think about love?"

"Hmm?"

The disheartened crowd, upon hearing this, suddenly lifted their heads in surprise!

The marketplace is like a battlefield, and opportunities are fleeting! They all reacted sharply, fully aware of what Gelangqiao's words implied!

This Caucasian wanted to find someone who shared his opinion to collaborate with!

Being a gifted designer, prestige truly came first.

The crowd excitedly looked at Gelangqiao, each recalling their prepared answers in their minds.

Answering well could, at the very least, land them one of his designs!

"Isn't love all about everlasting commitment?"

"Well, I think, for love, you first need to find a woman you fancy, then launch a financial offensive to make her never want to leave you, heh, then you've got yourself some love."

"Heh, love is simple, it's really just about keeping the family line going, becoming stronger, and if you can find a family stronger than your own, that's love right there."

"In my opinion, love is just about physical pleasure, only after you've done it, heh, then there's love..."

"In our Huaxia, there's a saying, um, something like 'hold your hand, and grow old with you', perhaps that's the true essence of love."

...

For a moment, there was a cacophony of opinions as people from all walks of life tried to win Gelangqiao over with their words.

Some praised the greatness of love, others were ostentatiously extravagant, some belittled women as worthless, while others expressed their most genuine thoughts.

This nearly covered every possible perspective on love, but sadly...

Gelangqiao did not reveal a satisfied smile.

This expression meant that until now, no one had successfully matched Gelangqiao's values.

Consequently, those ten design blueprints were out of reach.

A collective sigh filled the crowd's hearts.

Just then, Gelangqiao looked over at Zhou Zidong with a smile and asked, "Zhou, how do you view it?"

Zhou Zidong, holding his wine with confidence, smiled and said, "Qiao, we have plenty of beauties in Huaxia. Don't you want to experience love? After this wine party, I'd be more than happy to show you the real taste of love!"

"Shameless!"

Xia Xiaodie, standing nearby and watching Zhou Zidong's sleazy smile, couldn't help but scowl and curse.

His so-called 'experience of love' was something even a pig could guess what he intended to take Gelangqiao to do.

"Compared to those folks earlier, this guy at least gets things done,"

Xu Fan, overhearing this, curled his lip and commented.

Instead of spouting flowery speeches that amounted to nothing but hot air,

it might be better to follow Zhou Zidong's example and take Gelangqiao to experience a myriad of beauties directly.

Though vulgar, who knows, maybe Gelangqiao wouldn't resist this approach?

"What? Do you actually agree with his viewpoint?"
