Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 400 - 397: An Unexpected Takeout

After the event ended, Lin Wanwan drove behind Lu Shouyue’s car to his home to collect the jewelry.

Lu Shouyue’s home in Yongcheng is located in the Shengshi Sea View Mansion at the Three Rivers Confluence, which is considered a landmark luxury residence in Yongcheng City. Although it was built ten years ago, its alloy steel facade still looks as new as ever.

For Lin Wanwan, who had seen Lu Shouyue’s unbeatable duplex riverside view house in Hai City, this large flat luxury apartment in Yongcheng seemed much more ordinary.

Currently, Lin Wanwan’s mind is filled with the cut jewelry she is about to obtain, along with the authoritative certificates that prove their identity.

With this batch of jewelry in hand, Lin Wanwan’s wealth would increase significantly, how could she not be delighted?

"Please come in." Lu Shouyue unlocked the fingerprint lock and gentlemanly let Lin Wanwan go in first.

"Thank you." Lin Wanwan instinctively took off her shoes, and Lu Shouyue took out a pair of white soft leather slippers for her from the hallway shoe cabinet.

Surprisingly, they were women’s style, and Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but glance at him in surprise.

"Would you like something to drink?" After closing the door, Lu Shouyue casually put his car keys on the side cabinet and asked casually.

"No need, I just drank my fill at the auction house." Lin Wanwan declined his offer.

Lu Shouyue chuckled lightly, "Looks like you can’t wait, come on, let me take you to get them."

Lin Wanwan followed Lu Shouyue into the house, laughing, "Haha, indeed, I really want to see the cut gems right away, sorry to trouble you, Teacher Lu."

"Not going together?"

"No, I’ll just wait here." Following someone to watch them open a safe, what would that look like? Better to avoid suspicion.

Seeing this, Lu Shouyue didn’t say anything, agreed with a smile, and turned to enter the study.

While waiting, Lin Wanwan walked to the balcony, opened the floor-to-ceiling glass door, and stepped onto the spacious balcony, overlooking the river view below, murmuring, "I wonder how much this unbeatable view is worth."

A moment later, Lu Shouyue walked out, and Lin Wanwan, hearing the commotion, turned back into the living room.

"Here, it’s all in this." Lu Shouyue handed the dark nanmu box filled with jewelry to Lin Wanwan, who eagerly took it and opened it at once.

The dark nanmu box was the same one given to her by Earl G from Lion Country a thousand years ago, but the jewelry was no longer the original treasures.

The jewelry, meticulously cut by the master, each piece shone brilliantly, sparkling in the sunlight, just looking at them was incredibly delightful.

Such beautiful jewelry, it’s believed that in this world, from young to old, there isn’t a single woman who wouldn’t like them.

"Beautifully cut." Lin Wanwan looked at each piece one by one, then carefully put them back.

She then picked up the laminated certificates and examined them closely, the more she looked, the happier she became.

The box contained a total of thirty-two gemstones of varying sizes, of which seven had been cut back in the Great Tang era, comprising three rubies, three sapphires, and one Alexandrite cat’s eye stone.

The certificates stated they were mostly between two to three carats, just as Lin Wanwan had estimated. The most valuable cat’s eye stone was also the largest, at 4.1 carats.

Among the newly cut twenty-five gems, there were ten rubies, the largest being 9.5 carats; eight sapphires, the largest at 8.9 carats; and seven cat’s eye stones, the largest at 12.9 carats, with the second largest at 11.7 carats. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Struck it rich! Struck it rich!

Such large cat’s eye stones put up for auction should definitely fetch five to six million each without a problem. Once made into jewelry, as long as the craftsmanship is exquisite, their value will naturally rise to a higher level.

This rare cat’s eye stones, rubies, and sapphires, should never depreciate, no matter the era. A thousand years ago, they were coveted by the upper class, and a thousand years later, wealthy people still love jewelry alike.

Lin Wanwan was beside herself with joy, the processing commission was well worth it, and modern cutting masters with high-tech tools are indeed a tad stronger than those ancient Lion Country gem artisans.

"Thank you, Teacher Lu, I’ll transfer the remaining processing fee to you in a bit."

"No need to be polite, the customer is always right!" Lu Shouyue joked, "Remember to come to me when you want to auction them later."

"Of course." Lin Wanwan laughed, though she didn’t actually have plans to auction them. After all, she wasn’t short on money, so why auction such fine things? Better to focus on business, earning through cosmetics, clothes, and embroidery in the future!

Lu Shouyue was just speaking casually. While making money is fun, it’s evidently more enjoyable to have some alone time with Lin Wanwan.

"Shall we have lunch together?" He checked his watch, seeking Lin Wanwan’s opinion, "Shall we meet Jie Yuting or order some takeout? The Shangri-La Hotel isn’t far downstairs, and their head chef’s cooking is quite good."

In a good mood, Lin Wanwan replied, "Sure, I struck it rich today, so let me treat this time, and let’s enjoy the culinary skills of the Shangri-La head chef with the river view."

Lu Shouyue laughed heartily, "No way, no way, how could I let you pay as a guest at my place?"

"I’ll treat, you pay." Lin Wanwan jokingly said with a smile.

"Deal, that works!" Lu Shouyue said as he took out his phone and made a call to order the food.

The takeout for the wealthy is different from that of the poor, and Lin Wanwan, a nouveau riche, saw for the first time how takeout can come with a full-service chef experience.

Wearing a white hat, the head chef from Shangri-La, along with three assistants, brought their own pots and pans, standing in the open-style Western kitchen, lined up the steaks before Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue, introducing, "Today, we offer the two of you Kobe steaks from Japan and Quinine steaks from Italy, both airlifted just this morning, and also..."

For a moment, Lin Wanwan didn’t know how to comment, perhaps it was due to her lack of experience.

Having previously attended the Wang Family’s winter melon feast in Little Creek Town, Great Tang, and seeing them play in the Sheep Hall, she already thought that was luxurious. But now, seeing Lu Shouyue order takeout, she realized there’s always a higher mountain.

Look at that, they even airlift in their steak!

Across time, wealthy individuals always have people racking their brains to serve them daily, a pleasure that the poor can hardly even imagine.

After eating two steaks, Lin Wanwan, clutching her stomach and carrying the jewelry, bid farewell to Lu Shouyue, happy like a carefree girl who just eats her fill and leaves.

Jewelry in hand, belly full of delicious food, now it was time for her to work hard for her career!

The car drove toward Times Square, and while in the car, Lin Wanwan turned on her Bluetooth headset and called Tan Qinghui.

The contract signing time with the Times Square leasing manager was scheduled for one-thirty in the afternoon, and bringing a lawyer at such times was essential.

Lin Wanwan feared trouble more than spending money. For professional matters, naturally, it should be left to professionals.
