Book 1 Chapter 11.2 – Diamond Ring
Zhang Yu at that moment stood up and said with a smile on his face, “Little brother Li Yang, if you have something to do then you should go and do it. Once the Combat Practical ends, I will immediately return to Beijing. At that time, I will send someone to present you with your certificate.”
Meng Tian also laughed and said,” Li Yang, passing the exam is an an exalted matter within our small squad. Tonight we need to have a good celebration, so remember, the usual restaurant!” This was a tradition, and whenever one of them passed this barrier, then the other brothers would all hold a celebration for them that evening.
Tian Lin nevertheless said mockingly, “Hehe, Li Yang why are you in such a rush? Is it because you want to find a wife as soon as possible?”
Everyone including Meng Tian and Zhang Yu began to laugh suspiciously.
This was not out of the ordinary. Since even though the Security Bureau 9th Division did not permit the leakage of identity or marriage, they could not stop romance. There were still quite a few individuals who had private interactions with females through phone calls. Naturally, they would hide their true identities, and the Security Bureau 9th Division turned a blind eye towards this matter. In the end, as long as none of the team members revealed their identities then it didn’t matter too much.
Once these team members passed this barrier, the first thing these successful team members would want to do would be to meet up with the girl that they liked.
“Haha… I am preparing to buy a diamond ring!” Li Yang was slightly embarrassed, but still said it out loud.
When Tian Lin heard this, his eyes at that moment grew wide. ‘Ah, you bastard, you are rushing things too quickly, even buying a diamond ring! Ah you idiot, do you know which diamond ring to get? Do you know where they sell good diamond rings?
When Li Yang heard this, he immediately became dumbstruck. He had never bought a diamond ring before, and he had absolutely no knowledge about diamond rings.
“Hehe, Li Yang, you need me for this situation!” Tian Lin said proudly. Although the playboy Tian Lin wasn’t too great at other things, in regards to diamond and jewelry, his proficiency could definitely be considered number one among everyone here.
“Division Captain, you understand how low my current strength is. Even if I participate in the Combat Practical, there is still no way for me to pass. In that case I forfeit!” Tian Lin at once turned around to face Meng Tian and said.
Meng Tian didn’t say anything else and simply nodded his head. With Tian Lin’s level of strength and cultivation, there should roughly still be ten years before he could enter the Security Bureau 11th Division. Forfeiting once was not a big deal!
“Let’s go bro, I’ll bring you to buy your diamond ring!” Tian Lin enthusiastically pulled Li Yang’s arm and walked outside as if he was the one that needed to buy the diamond ring.
…
Inside the garage.
“Li Yang you idiot, drive your Benz MB320. What type of day is today, you are still going to drive that government issued Volkswagen?” Tian Lin angrily spoke when he saw Li Yang walking towards his Volkswagen.
Li Yang was distracted for a second, but soon after turned around and laughed towards Tian Lin, “You’re right. Today I am going to propose to Xue for marriage, of course I need to watch my appearance. That’s right, Tian Lin, go inside my bedroom and get the furthest blue suit in my wardrobe and bring it over here. Those set of clothes were a gift from my younger brother and I never had the chance to wear it yet. From what he said, those clothes were quite nice.” Li Yang said while smiling.
Li Yang had a biological younger brother named Li Shuo, and their mother was a very successful career woman. As for their father, they have never met him before. Their mother owned her own large company, but later on for some strange reason, the year Li Yang turned 16, their mother sold their company to an official’s son and left each son with 100 million. The rest of the money was all donated to charity, and their mother entered a mountain village to live in seclusion.
Li Yang and his brother Li Shuo were quite similar and both loved their country, however, they went about it in different ways. Li Yang entered the army, while Li Shuo went into the underworld scene. In addition, he entered in the world’s top five criminal organizations’ number one: the Great Secret Society!
After a while, Tian Lin returned.
“Fuck, Li Yang, this case has a signature on it. It was actually personally designed by Italian master Clement, hand-crafted! Heavens, this is not something that can be bought with money, who do you think this master Clement is? Even the country’s super rich and powerful individuals would not have the privilege of receiving one of these.” Tian Lin cried out in alarm, and look at Li Yang with a dumbstruck expression.
Li Yang gently smiled and didn’t seem to care that much. His own brother from the Great Secret Society claimed that it was not bad, and in addition he was now currently the Great Secret Society’s last disciple. He was responsible for all affairs within Beijing, and with the Great Secret Society’s might and power, obtaining a set of clothing was a simple task. Li Yang even suspected that these clothes were a gift from other someone else for Li Shuo, but that brat Li Shuo then gave it to him.
When Li Yang finished changing, he said towards Tian Lin, “Tian Lin, how do these clothes look? These clothes when worn feels rather comfortable.” Li Yang at this moment felt some admiration towards that Italian master.
Tian Lin looked at him while stupefied, he swallowed dryly before saying, “Hundreds of others aren’t worth even one of these, this master Clement really deserves his reputation. To make so many rich and powerful admire him, this master really isn’t a fake. Li Yang, now that you are driving this Benz MB320 and wearing this suit, when proposing who would reject you! Wu wu wu~~~ while next to you, even I, Tian Lin, feel inferior. Li Yang, I won’t go with you this time, it really is a blow to my self-esteem.”
“You brat you’re still joking around right now, get in the car, hurry and follow me!” Li Yang laughed while scolding, and went with Tian Lin into the car. Soon after, the two drove away.
…
After half an hour, Li Yang and Tian Lin, through Tian Lin’s recommendation, arrived at ‘Golden Platinum Lai’, a Jewelry Store.
The Jewelry saleswoman’s eyes did not remain dull. Upon seeing Li Yang’s attire, her eyes lit up, and immediately enthusiastically walked over. “Sir, what would you like to purchase today?”
Li Yang smiled while replying, “Diamond ring. Which diamond ring do you recommend?”
Tian Lin knew what kind of person Li Yang was, and at once said to the saleswoman, “Bring out and let us see your store’s most expensive diamond ring.”
When the sales lady heard this, her eyes lit up at once. You have to understand that the sales lady earned commission as well, and these saleswomen all hoped to encounter these great rich and powerful individuals so that their commissions would be greater as well. The sales lady didn’t walk towards their front counter, but instead picked up her phone and said, “Manager, we have two customers who would like to see the diamond rings in our inner room. “ The saleswoman at once turned her head and said with a smile, “Gentlemen, please follow me. Our original jewelry store’s precious diamond rings are all located within the inner room.”
Under the guidance of the sales lady, Li Yang arrived at a hallway. The sales lady stood there, and there were currently two security guards blocking the way. Suddenly, from within the hallway walked out a young male. Upon seeing Li Yang’s attire, the smile on his face suddenly became even more brilliant.
“My humble surname is Wang, and I am the current Jewelry City manager. Sir, if I am not mistaken, you are here to buy a diamond ring, so please follow me into this room.” Manager Wang smiled as he spoke, and the sales lady at this time left. This corridor was not a place that that saleswoman could enter.
Under the guidance of Manager Wang, Li Yang and Tian Lin entered the room.
“There are three diamond rings here and all of their prices exceed a million, gentlemen can carefully examine them.” The manager retrieved three cases from within the room, opened them, and placed the three cases in front of Li Yang and Tian Lin. When Tian Lin saw that price, his eyes became wide, however when he thought about Li Yang’s wealth, he became reassured again.
As Li Yang looked over the three rings, suddenly, his eyes were completely focused on the ring located in the middle.
The manager’s eyes lit up at once and the smile on his face became even more brilliant. The ring in the middle was the one that was the most precious ring among the three.
“This butterfly design diamond ring is our store’s guarded treasure, and this diamond is also the rarely seen yellow diamond. The wings on the butterfly are embedded with 32 small diamonds. They are 15.58 karats, and the price in RMB is 6,880,000; if this gentleman would like to purchase it, the store can grant you a 10% discount.” Manager Wang said fluently, as he had already previously said them many times.
When Li Yang saw this butterfly shape, he immediately liked it. He remembered that back then when he was hospitalized, Jiang Xue particularly liked butterflies. At that time, Li Yang decided to purchase this. As for money, Li Yang never cared in the first place.
“I’ll just pick this one!” Li Yang bluntly took out his credit card.
Tian Lin looked astonishingly at the butterfly shaped diamond ring, this ring was more than 6 million but Li Yang’s eyes didn’t even falter once and seemed as if he never even cared about it.
“Sir, please receive it carefully!” Manager Wang placed both the ring and the credit card in front of Li Yang. “Sir, this is our store’s VIP gold card, I hope you will honor us with your presence in the future.”
Li Yang received the VIP gold card and did not pay any more attention to Manager Wang and turned around and left this Jewelry City with Tian Lin.
“Tian Lin, this… I’ll have to trouble you to return by taxi. Hehe, don’t be like this, I will definitely drink a lot with you during the wedding. It’s better if you don’t watch this proposal!” Li Yang said while laughing.
“Have feelings for the other sex but no feelings for humanity!” Tian Lin grumbled while looking at Li Yang’s car that was slowly driving further away.
……
Li Yang drove up to Jiang Xue’s residence. In the past, he came here once before.
“Isn’t that Jiang Xue’s father?” Li Yang could tell with a glance that the individual on the side playing chess was Jiang Xue’s father. The last time he sent Jiang Xue home, Li Yang had previously met Jiang Xue’s father, or to be more precise, his future father-in-law. Seeing his future father-in-law, Li Yang felt some excitement in his heart.
Li Yang faintly closed his eyes, a gust of Worldly spiritual essence entered his body, and the internal qi began to circulate and his mental state finally began to calm down. A wave of confidence spontaneously surfaced, and Li Yang opened the car door and walked out!
