Perhaps because Su Kefan’s voice was too loud and his curses too foul, he drew the attention of everyone around them.
Su An’s air of complete indifference further enraged Su Kefan, but venting his anger felt like punching cotton it provided no satisfaction whatsoever.
Due to the Su family’s influence, Su Kefan was somewhat famous in the design world. Many people recognized the person currently abandoning his image to scream in the street as the younger son of the Su family, and whispers began to break out.
Not to mention, Su Kefan had recently been in the limelight for a while after being exposed for cheating at a birthday banquet.
Seeing everyone looking at them with strange gazes, Feng Ling felt a moment of embarrassment. He bit his knuckle, shot Su An a peculiar look, and pulled the still-muttering Su Kefan away in disgrace.
Su An didn’t notice their departure; his attention was entirely on the chat box on his phone.
Yu Feng: 【Out again?】
Su An curled his lips slightly and tapped the screen to reply: 【President Yu should focus on work.】
Yu Feng was currently sitting at his desk with a multi-billion dollar contract spread out before him. Seeing this message, his brow twitched slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Not long after, Su An sent another message: 【You need to make more money to support me; I’m very expensive to keep.】
Upon seeing this, even the unreviewed documents before President Yu seemed to become pleasant to the eye. He turned and sent a message to Zhou Ran.
Yu Feng: 【Zhou Ran, notify everyone. Meeting in ten minutes.】
Zhou Ran felt miserable when he saw the message. Hadn’t they just finished a meeting less than an hour ago? Why was the boss calling another one?
Nevertheless, he sent the notice to the group chat. The executives, who had just returned to their offices and hadn’t even warmed their seats, let out a collective wail upon seeing the message.
President Yu, we can’t keep up with your passion for work!
Su An had no idea how much of an impact his message had on the executives of the Yu Enterprise. Seeing that the entrance was beginning to verify tickets, he put away his phone and entered the hall with the flow of the crowd.
Upon entering the exhibition pavilion, all sorts of unique jewelry met his eyes. Under the bright lights, the gems in the display cases refracted dazzling brilliance.
Su An followed the exhibition route and viewed all the special display cases. There were many types of jewelry materials, some with very peculiar textures. Su An exchanged a few words with the people nearby, learning a great deal and gaining much inspiration.
As he walked, Su An noticed many booths for display and sale on the other side of the pavilion. From a distance, he could see many high-quality goods. He walked toward those stalls, thinking he might pick out something suitable to give to Yu Feng.
Conveniently, after the design sketch for the brooch he designed a few days ago was submitted, Fanjing had already transferred a sum of money to him in advance.
Su An browsed as he walked, suddenly spotting something that interested him quite a bit. He asked the counter staff to take it out for him to see.
“I’ll take this amethyst ring.” Su Kefan moved his arm to block Su An, speaking directly to the staff member across the counter.
Seeing this, the staff member ignored Su An and said with a smile, “Sir, you truly have a good eye. This is the treasure of our shop.”
“This ring is called the ‘Enchanted Magic Mirror.’ It is the only one of its kind on the market. The central amethyst is surrounded by silver runes. When the light hits it, it displays a faint purple glow.”
Wearing gloves, the staff member held the ring in one hand and a small flashlight in the other, introducing it with great passion.
The light from the flashlight passed through the center of the ring, emitting a beautiful purple halo—mysterious and full of charm.
Being praised like this, Su Kefan lifted his head arrogantly and looked at Su An provocatively. “I am a designer, after all; my eye has always been good. This central amethyst is top-grade.”
The counter employee smiled sycophantically. “Sir, you know so much. This amethyst was indeed purchased by us from Country M. You can see this color and this luster—it is absolutely top-of-the-line.”
Feng Ling, listening nearby, walked to the counter and said warmly, “Then we’ll take this one. Please wrap it up for us.”
Seeing a big customer, the staff member’s smile nearly reached the sky. “Certainly, certainly.”
Su An let out an ambiguous sneer. Feng Ling looked at Su An apologetically and said, “An An, we really like this ring quite a bit. Why don’t you look at something else? I can help you pick another one.”
Su Kefan, standing beside him, was unhappy to hear this. The previous praise from the staff member had already made him feel quite lightheaded, and he wore a look of contempt.
“Why waste your breath on him? Besides, does he even have the money to buy it?”
The staff member quickly packed it up and handed it over. Feng Ling didn’t even ask the price; he took out a card and went to the counter to pay.
Su An shook his head with a trace of regret. He spread his hands and said, “The light refracted by amethyst is pale blue, not purple. How could a ‘Great Designer’ like Su not know such a simple piece of knowledge?”
Su Kefan gave two mocking laughs. “How do you, someone who knows nothing, have the face to say such words?”
Su An waved his hand again, adopting an attitude of indifference. “Suit yourself. It’s not like I’m the one losing money anyway.”
Feng Ling, having finished the payment, walked back carrying the bag. He didn’t understand what had happened and asked in confusion, “Losing what?”
“You!” What Su Kefan hated most was Su An’s current attitude. Looking at the confused Feng Ling beside him, he pulled the man closer. “Ling Ling, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
“What this young handsome man said is correct.” A woman with an elegant temperament, graceful poise, and clad in expensive jewelry walked over. Her tone was not loud, but it contained an implicit power that made it impossible to question her.
Being questioned repeatedly, Su Kefan’s face darkened. “Who are you? This has nothing to do with you.”
The woman lifted her eyes slightly, her calm gaze falling upon him. Being stared at by her, Su Kefan felt a chill down his spine.
Recognizing the newcomer, Su An said in surprise, “Designer Wen Yun!”
“What!”
Su Kefan was shocked to hear the name. Hadn’t the designer Wen Yun retired from the design circle over a decade ago? Why would she appear here?
Wen Yun withdrew her imposing aura and said to Su An with a smile, “Young man, you recognize me?”
“I like the works you’ve designed very much.”
Long ago, Su An had browsed through the works of the titans in the design world one by one. He was very fond of Wen Yun’s designs, but unfortunately, she had retired over ten years ago. He hadn’t expected to encounter her at this jewelry exhibition today.
“Is that so? That’s wonderful! Unlike some people who call themselves designers but don’t even know the color of light refracted by amethyst.” Wen Yun smiled, speaking as if it were of no consequence.
Stung by Wen Yun’s words, Su Kefan finally realized that what Su An had said was true.
Su Kefan lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly. Feng Ling, seeing the situation, also caught on. He shouted at the counter staff, “You’re actually selling fakes?!”
The staff member had been happy just a moment ago to have found customers with more money than brains; he hadn’t expected to be exposed so quickly.
He avoided Feng Ling’s murderous gaze. “You’ve already paid. It says on our sign no returns or refunds.”
Feng Ling threw the bag in his hand at him with force. The sharp corner of the bag hit the staff member, and a cut instantly appeared on his face.
Feeling the throbbing wound, the shop assistant grabbed a stool from the shop and rushed toward Feng Ling and Su Kefan.
Seeing their colleague being hit, the other staff members also rushed up to help. The number of onlookers gathered to watch the excitement grew larger and larger, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
