Previously, a collector sent an amber for inspection. Two appraisal companies certified that it was not an antique. The collector claimed that the amber was a family heirloom. When Gubelin did the appraisal, they did not realize that it was an antique. Eventually, Shen Qianshu suggested to carry out a destructive test, and they found out that there was wild bugs' DNA inside the amber, thus confirming that it was an antique.
Gubelin and the other two companies came together to compensate the collector.
Not only did Gubelin not get hate after this matter, their reputation actually rose.
"You…" Zhou Lulu refused to give in. "If the results of the inspection say that this jewel is genuine and there is nothing wrong with my certificate, you need to apologize to me and quit the jewelry appraisal industry. Vice versa, I will do the same too. Do you dare to bet?"
Inside the laboratory, there was complete silence.
Decked in white lab coats, all the appraisers stared at each other.
Knowing that there will be someone backing her up, Zhou Lulu stared at Shen Qianshu triumphantly.
"Do you dare?"
"I am not going to beg to you," Shen Qianshu calmly said.
"Shen Qianshu, aren't you very cocky usually? Why did you chicken out at such a critical moment? You just don't dare right? Such a coward!"
Shen Qianshu lifted her eyelids slightly and took a look at her. "I am afraid that if you lose, you will be shameless, go back on your words, pretend to cry and look pitiful. That will be so annoying." Her tone dripped with sarcasm.
Chen Qiuxiang and a few others sniggered.
"You…" Zhou Lulu raged in fury.
The laboratory's boss walked over and said, "What are you guys quarreling about?"
Zhou Lulu immediately felt aggrieved and went forward to complain about the whole situation to the boss. She mainly talked about how without her permission, Shen Qianshu wanted to carry out the inspection again even though it had already been certified.
The boss had something on with Zhou Lulu, and this was something that everybody in the office knew about.
The boss was a good boss, but the same could not be said regarding his private life.
Anybody that could climb to this position was not stupid. After knowing the results, the boss immediately asked everybody to carry out another round of inspection.
Zhou Lulu fumed with anger, and her eyes watered.
The boss rubbed her waist and said, "Do you have to be like this? I will buy you a necklace later."
Zhou Lulu instantly became happy, and she stared gleefully at Shen Qianshu.
Chen Qiuxiang retorted. "Is this something to be proud of?"
The boss had already left.
Zhou Lulu said, "Wait till the day I become the lady boss. I will sack the both of you."
Chen Qiuxiang was speechless.
Shen Qianshu was speechless too.
With a brain like yours, you still hope to be a lady boss?
Who gave you the confidence?
In the end, the results showed that the batch of jewels were all counterfeits.
A batch of counterfeits passed off as genuine jewels.
AG building.
The jewelry department's executive director came in a hurry. Ye Ling was reading the gossip on the Internet. Li Zhiyuan and Shen Qianshu's gossip spread widely everywhere since early in the morning. Ye Ling pretended to be busy with work, but his gaze was hard and cold. He slightly leaned back on his chair, and his handsome face was as cold as frost. His light gaze covered the murderous look in his eyes.
Zhong Ran, who was always brave and daring, did not dare to utter a single word. He was scared that Ye Ling would kill him if he said something wrong.
The secretaries were busy with the work on their hands and did not dare to say any nonsense.
The executive director pushed open the door and walked in. "CEO, there is something wrong with our jewels."
He passed an inspection report to Ye Ling. Normally, this kind of small matter was handled by him and did not need to bother Ye Ling. However, this batch of jewels was worth two hundred million. They were not normal jewels. If something wrong happened, he did not dare to take responsibility.
Two hundred million ah…
My God.
It was actually fake, simply too scary.
Ye Ling took the report and said, "All of them are fake?"
"Yes."
"Useless beings! Who was the one following on this matter originally? Didn't we already ask someone to send the jewels for an appraisal when they got shipped in?"
The executive director said, "Our jewelry appraiser found no issues when appraising. At that time, it was third lady who followed this batch of goods. We did not expect something like that to happen too."
Zhong Ran took the report and looked at it in detail.
Zhong Ran said, "Master, this batch of goods is worth twenty million."
"Nonsense! Do I need you to tell me that?"
Zhong Ran said, "I saw the comparable figures, and it was enough to pass the fake goods as genuine. A normal appraiser company might not even be able to check its authenticity. The only way to minimize our losses is to let Gubelin's appraiser change their report."
"Who is Gubelin's appraiser?"
"Shen Qianshu. This batch of jewels was certified by her. She is in the meeting room now."
Zhong Ran was speechless.
Master, I am wrong.
You did not hear anything just now.
Ye Ling's gaze darkened. His aura emanated domineeringly, radiating off a powerful effect. Once angered, he would be even scarier, like a beast that was woken up from its deep sleep, revealing its claws and ready to prey on its victims.
Shen Qianshu was not exactly willing to come into contact with AG. Because of Ye Ling, she wanted badly to avoid AG. However, this batch of jewels was appraised by her, and AG was their huge customer. She had to make a trip down personally.
Ye Ling, being AG's CEO, had to handle a lot of work every day, and he would not have the energy to care about such matters. It must be someone from the jewelry department coming to settle. Shen Qianshu confidently waited in the meeting room. She had already waited for twenty minutes and drank two cups of coffee, but the person in charge was still not present.
What the heck?
Where were the manners of an International company?
Were they eaten by them?
Shen Qianshu drank her third cup of coffee and started to scroll through her social media account out of boredom. She had gotten too famous recently, Tong Hua helped her to look for marriage while rumors of her and CEO Li took a place on the hot search list. Other than the picture where she was captured with Tong Hua the first time, she was on the hot search list because of how beautiful she was. She had not been on the hot search before, and recently, she had been taking a spot on the charts frequently. Luckily, the nasty comments were not that many, but there were a lot of jealous people. Normally, she would share some jewelry knowledge on her account and would then have many jewel fans. Her ability and power were undeniable. Under her social media account, it was considered quite harmonious.
Shen Qianshu heard footsteps, and her heart skipped a beat. She raised her head.
She felt very sensitive listening to the footsteps sounds.
Seven years ago, in the fairytale-like castle, there were only Ye Ling and her. Most of the time, she would count his footsteps. Daytime in Europe was exceptionally long, and there would no doubt be times when she was bored. Ye Ling was very quiet most of the time and liked to repeatedly walk around the second floor, seemingly wanting to break the tiles.
Thus, she was very familiar with the sound of his footsteps.
How many years had passed?
It actually remained in her mind.
This was a form of sickness, Shen Qianshu thought.
Ye Ling pushed open the meeting room door, and the whole space instantly felt overbearing and cramped with his arrival. He took one step at a time like a tyrant from the olden days. He carried an arrogant coldness like an invincible god. Shen Qianshu's heart beat rapidly. Her pupils contracted fiercely. Every time she saw Ye Ling, she would have a charging effect. She breathed heavily, trying to calm her beating heart.
Shen Qianshu put on her professional smile. Ye Ling pulled out a chair opposite of her and sat on it, staring at her coldly like she was a stranger. Shen Qianshu still put on her most professional smile.
"This batch of jewels was inspected by me. The certificates are all here." Shen Qianshu took out all the jewels' certificates and handed them to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling stared at her coldly, not uttering a single word. He gave off a compelling force that could not be described.
Shen Qianshu's smile almost dropped.
