The person in charge now looked at Su Zhiyi as if he could see through her luxury clothes and outstanding appearance to the power and influence behind her.
"Not at all, you're too kind," Su Zhiyi said, adept at polite flattery. "I've also heard of Greta's reputation for a long time. I especially love your designs. I have several pieces of jewelry at home from your brand."
She was lying through her teeth.
She had heard of the brand but never bought it—she didn't have that kind of money.
It was purely to be polite with the person in charge and provide him with some emotional value.
A wealthy young lady, of course, deserved luxurious jewelry.
After hearing Su Zhiyi's words, the person in charge's smile deepened.
"I brought from headquarters a preview of our upcoming new series—Moonlit Blue Butterfly. This series hasn't been launched yet, and I'd like Miss Su to try it on first. Consider this set a gift for you."
"Thank you for the trouble," Su Zhiyi said politely.
The person in charge led them to the sofa and coffee table in the store used for meetings.
As soon as they sat down on the sofa, a sales assistant proactively poured them tea and served pastries, while another sales assistant brought four jewelry boxes of different sizes and arranged them on the coffee table.
"This is our upcoming new series, comprising four pieces: earrings, a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet."
The person in charge picked up the largest of the four boxes and opened it. Inside, a beautiful blue-and-white necklace lay on soft black velvet.
He then opened the other three boxes in turn. Each piece featured a large lake-blue gemstone, with sparkling diamonds and round pearls as accents.
This set was not particularly heavy in craftsmanship but leaned toward everyday wear, suitable for pairing with both gowns and casual clothes.
Gu Yu carefully examined all four pieces, then nodded in satisfaction and said to the person in charge, "Not bad, quite pretty. Introduce them."
Since the president had spoken, the person in charge carefully explained for both of them.
"The main materials of Moonlit Blue Butterfly are white gold, diamonds, and mother-of-pearl. Each piece is adorned with blue moonstone. The collision of blue and white—these two tones are soft and harmonious, like butterflies dancing under the bright moonlight. Thus, we used mother-of-pearl to form the butterfly wings and blue moonstone to create the shining moon. That is our design concept."
"If Miss Su could wear these pieces, it would be our honor."
The crystal chandelier above them refracted bright light, shining on the four pieces on the table. It seemed as if the butterfly wings made of mother-of-pearl were actually fluttering, and the moonstone emitted a faint, ethereal blue moonlight.
Dazzling.
The person in charge cast a shrewd glance at Su Zhiyi. The implication of his last sentence was all too clear.
Su Zhiyi's appearance was top-notch in the entertainment industry. Now, after riding on the popularity of Jiang Yuanheng and Pei Yan, her buzz was temporarily comparable to that of A-list stars.
He wanted Su Zhiyi to wear these pieces and help promote them in advance.
"Mr. Wu, you're too kind," Su Zhiyi said. "Everyone has a love for beauty. I've always liked beautiful jewelry, especially after seeing this set you've showcased today and hearing your design philosophy. I've grown particularly fond of this upcoming new series."
"Being invited by you to wear your jewelry and collaborate is my honor."
She knew this was a win-win deal, and the two had already reached a tacit understanding through their words.
"Not at all, it's our honor," the person in charge said with a smile, pointing at the jewelry on the table. "Would Miss Su like to put them on now? The outfit you're wearing today suits this set very well."
"Sure."
Su Zhiyi picked up the pieces from the table and put them on one by one.
A beautiful woman adorned with glittering jewelry was a feast for the eyes.
After putting them on, she took the mirror handed to her by the sales assistant and admired herself in it. "So beautiful!"
Her skin was delicate, smooth, fair, and flawless. The slender necklace rested on her collarbone like a butterfly perched on moonlight.
"I'd like to take some photos and post them on Weibo. Is that okay?"
The person in charge was just thinking that. "Of course, go ahead."
Su Zhiyi took several selfies on the spot, even using the original camera's live mode to produce pictures directly. No retouching needed—editing would only ruin the natural beauty of her face.
She composed a caption for Weibo, attached the photos, and posted.
After finishing, she stood up, extended her hand to the person in charge, and bowed slightly. "Alright, thank you for today's gift of jewelry and for your introduction. It's getting late. I have a scene tomorrow, so I'll take my leave now."
The person in charge also stood up and shook her hand.
"Thank you for your cooperation today, Miss Su. We'll meet again when we officially shoot at headquarters."
Su Zhiyi put her mask and cap back on and walked out of the Greta jewelry store side by side with Gu Yu.
In an inconspicuous dark corner of the bustling commercial street,
a camera was hidden behind layers of lush green leaves in a potted plant. The person behind the potted plant, wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a cap, pressed the shutter and snapped a photo of the two just as they exited the jewelry store.
The man standing beside the beautiful female star seemed to sense something and looked toward the camera.
The camera's reflection caught his eye.
He did not step forward to expose it but merely glanced indifferently in the direction of the camera before turning his head to look straight ahead.
As if he tacitly allowed it.
