In the evening, Lin Miao walked into the house and heard the sound of cooking from the kitchen, so she excitedly ran toward the kitchen!

"Brother, brother, did you buy the diamond ring today?"

Lin Miao rushed to Lin Jie's side, eagerly saying, "This morning, I took Sister Yang's photo and showed it specially to Sister Kexin. I noticed her expression, her eyes were full of envy."

"Brother, I'm sure I didn't see it wrong. If you buy a diamond ring for Sister Kexin, she'll definitely be very excited."

"Haven't bought one yet!"

Lin Jie stirred the dishes a few more times, turned off the heat, raised his hand to take a plate, and said somewhat feeling down, "I went to two jewelry stores today, and it dazzled me, but I didn't find one that truly satisfied me."

"For something worth millions, you definitely have to be really selective!"

He put the dishes onto the plate and asked, "Miaomiao, when do you have a day off? You can come with me to take a look!"

"When it comes to jewelry, you girls have sharper eyes for it."

Lin Miao picked up the rice cooker and said, "Brother, just pick a time, and I'll adjust my rest days to go with you!"

"There's the regular gathering tomorrow, a class on Thursday, surgery on Friday," Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "How about Saturday? Do you have any surgeries planned for beneficiaries this Saturday?"

"This week's patients are scheduled for Sunday, so I can free up my time on Saturday."

After Lin Miao placed the rice cooker on the dining table, she went to wash up.

When she returned, she saw that Lin Jie had already set the dishes and served the rice, ready to eat.

"Brother, today we had a bizarre request for assistance!"

After eating a few bites, Lin Miao couldn't stop laughing and said, "It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, crying and shouting for us to give her money for cosmetic surgery."

"She said her boyfriend found her ugly and didn't want her anymore."

"This bizarre girl said that without this boyfriend, she'd die, and that helping her get cosmetic surgery was saving her life. She cried and fussed for a while before we called the police to take this odd case away."

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "In this day and age, all sorts of strange and bizarre things keep emerging!"

Talking about cosmetic surgery, he then recalled what Yao Siyuan mentioned in the morning.

Seeing that Yao Siyuan was only speculating without any real evidence, seeming like someone who suspects neighbors of stealing an axe, Lin Jie advised him to be cautious and wait for the police investigation results.

After dinner, Lin Jie took his computer to the living room and browsed through online journals.

Lin Miao sat next to him, also using her laptop to study, occasionally asking questions when she encountered something she didn't understand.

This faint warmth didn't last long before it was interrupted by a phone call from the building management.

"Jinxiu Zhonghua Jewelry Ltd.? They're looking for me?"

After listening to what the guard said over the phone, Lin Jie was filled with doubt.

The guard said politely on the phone, "Mr. Lin, the visitors said they learned about your interest in jewelry and have brought some pieces specifically for your appraisal."

This statement left Lin Jie even more surprised!

He clearly remembered visiting two jewelry stores today, one was Baoshilan and the other was Chow Tai Fook, but not this Jinxiu Zhonghua.

Is the competition in the jewelry industry this fierce?

He had just gone window-shopping today and was already targeted by this jewelry company, becoming a key customer to pursue.

"Hand the phone to the visitor; I want to say a few words to them!"

A moment later, a clear, pleasant voice came through the phone, "Hello, Mr. Lin! I am Dong Yanli, the manager for important customers from Jinxiu Zhonghua!"

"Mr. Fu Hechang told us you might be interested in some jewelry. We've selected some pieces for your appraisal. Sorry for the intrusion, and we ask for your understanding!"

"Got it, please hold on for a moment!"

Lin Jie hung up the phone, found Fu Hechang's number, and called directly!

The call connected quickly, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Jie straightforwardly asked, "There's a jewelry company called Jinxiu Zhonghua. Their important customer manager, Dong Yanli, says she's visiting with some jewelry for my review."

"This Manager Dong said she got this information from you..."

"Oh, they move fast, don't they? I'm aware of this situation!"

Fu Hechang said with a laugh, "This noon, I attended a luncheon and had some drinks and chats with a few people."

"When men chat together, the topic often turns to women, and the conversation naturally led to some well-known unmarried ladies in Binhai City, including An Kexin."

"At that time, I said you were planning to buy a diamond ring to get engaged to An Kexin, so the rest shouldn't think about her anymore."

"Back then, someone working at Jinxiu Zhonghua jumped in and jokingly asked if I could recommend their company's diamond rings."

Pausing for a moment, Fu Hechang continued, "Jinxiu Zhonghua primarily deals in high-end boutique jewelry and has a quite good reputation. Our Fu Family is also one of their clients."

"Lin Jie, if you haven't bought the diamond ring yet, you might want to take this opportunity to have a look. Just looking doesn't obligate you to buy!"

"If you don't want to entertain them, you could just refuse to see them; no need to give them face."

Hearing this, Lin Jie got the gist!

After thanking Fu Hechang for the recommendation, Lin Jie hung up the phone and instructed the property guard to let the people from Jinxiu Zhonghua come up.

Two or three minutes later, in the apartment, Lin Jie and Lin Miao met this well-dressed, elegantly built woman wearing a Chanel business dress, Dong Yanli.

Accompanying her was a well-dressed, sturdy man.

The man was holding a metallic briefcase, with a slender chain attached to his wrist.

"Mr. Lin, I've long heard of your esteemed name, and now that I meet you, I truly believe in the saying, 'seeing is believing.'"

Dong Yanli respectfully handed over a business card, saying: "I am Dong Yanli from Splendid China, please take care of me!"

Lin Jie took the business card, glanced at it, and said: "Hello, Manager Dong! Let's take a look at the jewelry!"

"No problem, please wait a moment!"

Dong Yanli and the man, using fingerprints and a password, took a minute to open the metallic case, revealing a dozen or so exquisite jewelry boxes inside.

"Mr. Lin, according to your needs, we mainly brought diamond rings this time."

Wearing white silk gloves, Dong Yanli opened each jewelry box and introduced: "The diamonds we have chosen for these rings are graded based on color, clarity, and cut, all of which are top-notch!"

"Colorless, pure, and perfect..."

Lin Jie and Lin Miao were dazzled by the dazzling lights refracted by each diamond, so much so that they couldn't make out her introduction.

After adjusting for a while, Lin Jie could finally see each diamond ring clearly!

One must say, these dozen or so diamond rings, at a glance, are much more upscale and beautiful than those he'd seen in two jewelry stores. Not only are they excellently crafted, but the diamonds are much larger too!

Lin Jie had done a bit of homework regarding the selection of diamond rings.

A diamond ring is a lifetime companion, best to choose one that is elegant, classic, and timeless rather than one that is too playful and cute, lest it appears childish as one ages.

After carefully examining all the diamond rings, Lin Jie's focus settled on three rings, with diamond shapes being round, heart-shaped, and teardrop-shaped, respectively.

He turned to look at Lin Miao, seeing her enchanted, he gently nudged her with his leg and asked, "Miaomiao, which one do you like the most?"

Lin Miao immediately came back to her senses, looking troubled as she said: "Brother, these diamond rings are so beautiful, I like them all, it's too difficult to choose."

"Pick your top three favorites, let's see if our aesthetic views match!" Lin Jie said with a smile.

Lin Miao nodded and refocused her attention on the diamond rings in front of her.

After hesitating for a long time, she pointed to a few, saying: "Brother, comparatively speaking, I like these three the most!"

Lin Jie noticed that two of the choices Lin Miao pointed out overlapped with his own selections, which were the round and heart-shaped diamond rings.

At his behest, Dong Yanli took out these two rings for a thorough appreciation.

After careful comparison and difficult selection, the Lin siblings ultimately decided on the most classic round diamond ring, weighing 2.56 carats with a loose diamond price of 1.58 million.

Then, the two also selected the style for the ring setting.

With a smile, Dong Yanli said: "Dr. Lin, now you just need to tell me the ring size, and I can deliver the finished diamond ring to you by tomorrow!"

Lin Jie hadn't specially measured An Kexin's finger.

But as a skilled surgeon, he was very familiar with the thickness of An Kexin's fingers and hesitated not at all in stating a number.

"Manager Dong, how should this payment be made?" Lin Jie asked a very concerning question.

Dong Yanli gave a sweet smile and said: "Successful individuals rarely store large amounts of cash in banks, usually investing in financial products, various industries, or other valuable and appreciating items."

"Mr. Lin, you only need to make the payment into the company account within three months."

"During these three months, if you have any dissatisfaction with the jewelry, you can return or exchange it unconditionally!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

With this three-month buffer, the issue of money is no longer a concern.

Dong Yanli spoke again: "Miss Lin, we also have classic diamond pendants, diamond earrings, and various gemstone jewelry like jade; would you be interested in taking a look?"

Lin Miao shook her head vigorously and said: "No need, I have no interest in jewelry!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie knew very well that Lin Miao was saying this against her own wishes!

One can't favor one over the other!

At Lin Jie's insistence, Lin Miao chose a diamond pendant worth over 400,000 through actual item pictures!

After seeing off Dong Yanli and the others, Lin Jie and Lin Miao were still somewhat excited.

"Brother, I've seen in some dramas, where wealthy people don't even need to leave home to buy clothes or shoes; a single call brings in plenty of clothes and shoes from specialty shops for them to choose."

Shaking Lin Jie's arm, Lin Miao said excitedly: "I always thought these were exaggerations in dramas, but today I found out it's real."

"Brother, have we reached this level now?"

In modern society, class distinctions are becoming increasingly blurred, but Lin Jie knew that this stratification still exists.

As his reputation grew, Lin Jie increasingly felt the noticeable change in people's attitudes towards him, recognizing how vastly different he has become compared to his past self.

Nevertheless, Lin Jie still had a very vague self-identification!

He ambiguously replied: "Perhaps we've reached there!"

Tilting her head, Lin Miao added: "Shopping this way does show status, but one downside is missing the fun of shopping as we stroll!"

While Lin Miao was contemplating this, they received another call from the property's security.

"Mr. Lin, Zhu Junying, Xie Rubing, and Zhu Yunlan are here to visit you, what's your opinion?"

Hearing these three names, Lin Jie couldn't help but recall the fine red wine Zhu Yunlan and Lv Xingxue had purchased. Coming at this time, could it be they're here to deliver a gift?
