Chapter 201: with translation of chapter title

Are you Miss Lin Meng?

Lin Meng was admiring the models' runway show when she suddenly heard someone call her; she turned her head and saw an elegant lady staring intently at her.

Lin Meng uncrossed her arms, smiled at the other person, and said:

You're the behind-the-scenes boss of Lingyue Jewelry, right?

Jiang Lingyue nodded with a smile, continuing to stare closely at Lin Meng's face.

She was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women; half of the stunning faces in the entertainment industry she had seen up close, and each had amazed her.

But now it seems Lin Meng is even more impressive, leaving nothing to worry about.

It's not just about looks; it's mainly about temperament.

Jiang Lingyue felt Lin Meng's temperament was special, something she had never encountered before.

Lin Meng didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at so intently.

Miss Jiang's gaze was purely appreciative, with no other motive.

Miss Lin, you are even more extraordinarily temperamental than I imagined.

Come with me; let's find a quiet place. Our store has a jewelry show today, and if you're interested, I'll arrange the best seat for you.

Lin Meng nodded and followed Jiang Lingyue around to the back door into the store.

Though called a store, it was actually more like a two-story Western-style building, grand yet tasteful.

As Jiang Lingyue led that woman away, it seemed Jiang Lingyue's attitude was even more humble, and everyone whispered, discussing the woman's identity.

At the same time, two gazes in the corner simultaneously glared at Lin Meng as she left, seeming both shocked and angry at her appearance.

Miss Lin, there are no outsiders here; may I have you take out your goods for a look?

Lin Meng opened the large pack on her back and took out a wooden box.

On the velvet lining inside lay five sets of delicate jewelry and several loose pendants.

Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up; she immediately put on velvet gloves, took out a set of professional tools, and began examining carefully.

Lin Meng had taken gold and silver jewelry to Lingyue Jewelry for sale several times, but never had any relevant appraisal certificates.

Jiang Lingyue, however, was unusually excited; after only a brief appraisal, she declared this batch to be good goods again.

She carefully closed the box and looked at Lin Meng with sincere eyes.

Lin Meng knew she had important words to say, and waited quietly for her to speak.

Jiang Lingyue took a deep breath, then said:

Miss Lin, to be frank, these jewels you provide, after professional appraisal, are superior in both composition and purity to any jewelry materials we can obtain on the market.

I can responsibly tell you that the jewelry raw materials from around the world, once cut, cannot compare to what you provide.

I wish to maintain a long-term cooperation with you, Miss Lin; the purchase price would be the market price plus twenty percent. What do you think?

Hearing this, Lin Meng glanced at the wooden box without changing expression, guessing this might be the difference between items from different times and spaces.

Although Ye Heng's world has endured apocalypse and wasteland, the precious minerals that remain uncontaminated might truly be better than the corresponding resources in her world?

If the jewelry is of a higher grade, what about other rare minerals? Metals? Might they also differ?

Lin Meng came back to her senses, smiled at Jiang Lingyue, and said:

Boss Jiang, are these jewels of mine really that good?

Jiang Lingyue nodded repeatedly, 'That's natural; although these jewelry styles may not necessarily appeal to the ladies and tycoons watching the show, the inlaid gemstone quality is top-notch, unmatched.'

Saying this, Jiang Lingyue's gaze fell on the sapphire ring on Lin Meng's hand.

Take this sapphire on your hand, for example; laypeople might only see it as beautiful, clear and translucent, but to us experts it is top-grade, even more precious than any sapphire currently in existence.

Lin Meng glanced at this weapon ring and silently gasped.

It seems the people of the wasteland world truly treat money as dirt, no longer regarding jewelry as anything, to the point of using such a precious sapphire as a weapon ring.

If she told Boss Jiang that this ring was actually a weapon, its structure possibly already damaged, filled with hallucinogens and nano-needles, she wondered what Boss Jiang would think.

Jiang Lingyue withdrew her gaze and looked expectantly at Lin Meng.

Lin Meng hesitated no longer and nodded at Jiang Lingyue.

All right, if I have more goods in the future I can come to you, but I don't like being bought out; long-term cooperation is fine, but not exclusively with you, and the supply could be cut off at any time.

She remembered that the Ye family was also preparing to enter the jewelry business, mainly focusing on jade, but they might also get involved with gemstones.

Selling to the Ye family should be able to fetch an even higher price.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue felt a slight regret, but could not refuse.

Having reached a verbal agreement, Jiang Lingyue wanted to keep Lin Meng to watch the show, but was refused.

The countdown in the strange world will end tonight; she still needs to go back and prepare.

Just from this trip, the jewelry alone earned Lin Meng over twenty million.

Plus, when leaving, Jiang Lingyue insisted on giving Lin Meng a set of South Sea white pearl jewelry as a greeting gift, so Lin Meng profited this time.

This set of pearl jewelry looks valuable; even if it's under a million, it's certainly worth several hundred thousand, and she plans to give it to her younger aunt.

After Lin Meng left, Jiang Lingyue returned to the viewing platform with a delighted face, and several ladies immediately gathered around.

General Manager Jiang, who was that young girl just now?

Jiang Lingyue obviously didn't want to elaborate, only vaguely saying, 'One of my valued guests.'

Everyone hearing this looked astonished; to be honored as a valued guest by Jiang Lingyue while being so young, the girl's background must be not low, yet they all felt she was unfamiliar.

Lin Meng didn't realize that merely making a quick trip had made her the most-discussed topic of the jewelry show; seeing that the time was about right, she took some supplies and flashed into the third space.

When Ye Fan tried to communicate with her, she had already entered the strange world, and the mental link was cut.

Ye Fan received no response from Lin Meng, and secretly felt worried.

Lin Meng entered the gate and surprisingly discovered the landing point had changed again; this time she actually arrived at a bustling city!

Here it was still daytime; the sunlight shone, though glaring, it was icy cold.

Ye Xiu said the cold season was coming, and the passersby around were all wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets.

They saw Lin Meng and found it strange: first, she was beautiful; second, she wore little, just a single layer.

But most passersby were indifferent, merely glancing before continuing on their way.

Lin Meng curiously surveyed her surroundings.

What amazed her was that this city was almost the same as the world she came from.

Skyscrapers rose all around, the asphalt roads likewise had crosswalks, and red and green lights intertwined to direct traffic…

Even more surprising to Lin Meng was that, less than five hundred meters ahead, lay City South High School, Ye Xiu's school.

Lin Meng suddenly realized that where she appeared might be related to Ye Xiu.

Each of her landing points never strayed far from Ye Xiu!
