Chapter 177 Going to the Film and Television Center to Find Li Shaojie
Gu Jin stared at Shen Wancheng for a few seconds before looking at the watch box.
Gu Jinxing opened both boxes and was momentarily amazed when he saw the two watches.
Shen Wancheng asked.
"It's much more flashy than the watch you're wearing. Will you get used to wearing this?"
Actually, the men's watch in this couple's watch set features a blue-to-black gradient, which is not considered flashy compared to the matching women's watch. It's only flashy compared to the Rolex business watch that Gu Jinxing is currently wearing.
Gu Jinxing affirmed, "I can get used to it."
He then added, "You have to get used to it. But the design of this watch is very good, and the workmanship is excellent. If you don't specifically say so, no one would think it's a local Hong Kong brand."
"Of course."
As Shen Wancheng spoke, she closed the watch box and moved it to her side. "Let's eat first."
Gu Jinxing's eyes were completely glued to his watch.
The watch's appearance was secondary; the main thing was that it was the first gift Shen Wancheng had ever given him.
Shen Wancheng tapped her knuckles on the table.
"Have a meal."
"Ah."
Gu Jinxing picked up his chopsticks and picked out fish meat for Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng looked at him and explained with a muffled laugh.
"I want to take this watch back and see if I can improve the craftsmanship. The craftsmanship can't be inferior to the appearance, otherwise it will be flashy but impractical."
"Yes. Your idea is correct."
Gu Jinxing knew that Shen Wancheng would definitely not only produce this one pair of watches, but would continue to produce and sell them.
But he wanted their pair of watches to be more special, so he suggested it.
“For us, perhaps we can do something a little more special, such as choosing a more precious and unique diamond at the very top of the gradient.”
Shen Wancheng's eyes lit up, and inspiration struck instantly.
“You’re right. It’s not just us who can choose special diamonds. In the future, every pair of couple’s watches produced by our company will have a special gradient center, making each pair unique.”
Scarcity increases value. If the most precious diamond in each pair of couple's watches is special, then each pair of watches is unique, and its value will naturally be higher.
Gu Jinxing felt a little helpless. He had originally only thought about the special thing about him and Shen Wancheng.
Unfortunately, his future wife is career-oriented.
However, Gu Jinxing was happy as long as he could help Shen Wancheng.
"Then you'll have to buy more diamonds, and they have to be top-quality ones."
"Oh yeah, does that mean we have to go to South Africa again?"
When South Africa was mentioned, Shen Wancheng thought of her first murder experience, and she couldn't help but look at her hands.
However, more than half a month had passed, and she didn't think she would still feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
Gu Jinxing said after a moment's thought.
"What do you think of the seller we bought diamonds from last time, Klin?"
"It seems alright. Are you suggesting that I work with him long-term?"
"Yes, after the auction, he specifically apologized to me for the incident that happened after the auction. I also investigated and found that he had nothing to do with the robbery gang that happened after the auction. If you want to cooperate with him long-term, you can rest assured about your safety."
"Okay, give me his phone number after you finish eating."
“Okay, I suggest you talk to him about an exclusive diamond supply. That way you can have him deliver to Hong Kong Island. If you need any special diamonds, you can also have him buy them for you in South Africa. That way you won’t have to go to South Africa all the time, since it’s still not a safe place there.”
"Okay, I'll talk to him later."
After Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing finished their meal in the car, they had the driver take them back to Central.
Gu Jinxing had to go back to the company in the afternoon, while Shen Wancheng went home.
She still has to maintain a facade of being engrossed in her studies and research, since she's going to "research" a major technological achievement—the mobile phone.

Li Su got the results that very evening.
That evening, Li Su called Shen Wancheng and said that, unsurprisingly, Li Shaojie's agent had rejected the cooperation offer.
The reason given is that Dongfang Yasong has no reputation. If Li Shaojie endorses this watch, how will he accept foreign luxury watch brands after the overseas award ceremonies and his market value increases?
This reason left Li Su speechless.
In the end, Li Shaojie's agent hung up the phone without giving Li Su a chance to make an offer.
Li Su had given up on the plan to invite Li Shaojie, but Shen Wancheng was not. She had already figured out how to promote the project and couldn't do without Li Shaojie.
However, Shen Wancheng did not force Li Su to come up with a solution, but instead took on the task herself.
After hanging up with Li Su, Shen Wancheng called Liang Muchao and got Zhou Heng's phone number from him.
Shen Wancheng then instructed Zhou Heng to find out Li Shaojie's schedule for her.
After all this, Shen Wancheng felt that it was time to put finding a personal assistant on the agenda.
These chores are really annoying to do.
Zhou Heng learned that Li Shaojie had been filming a movie at the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Park in the New Territories recently, so Shen Wancheng planned to go there tomorrow to find Li Shaojie in person.
Shen Wancheng realized that she couldn't go directly and needed an introducer, so she asked Zhou Heng to go with her again tomorrow.
Shen Wancheng's phone call was overheard by Shen Yao, who had just returned home.
Shen Yao immediately announced that she would not go to work tomorrow and would also go to the film studio to watch the movie being filmed.
The next morning, they gathered outside the film studio.
Liang Muchao also came with Zhou Heng.
With Zhou Heng leading the way, they entered the film and television city without any hindrance.
This Tseung Kwan O Industrial Park belongs to Shaw Brothers Studio, the most famous film studio on Hong Kong Island, and is a film and television city specifically used for film and television shooting.
The studios feature various scenes from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.
Vehicles are prohibited from entering the park, but there are electric shuttle buses that can carry multiple people, similar to the sightseeing vehicles that Shen Wancheng had seen in scenic spots in his later life.
Zhou Heng had already found out which district Li Shaojie was filming in, so Shen Wancheng and the others took the park's electric sightseeing bus there.
As they sat in the car, they saw many film crews shooting scenes along the way.
Shen Yao, unaware of the intricacies, sighed in amazement.
"How can so many film crews be shooting at the same time? There are only so many TV channels in Hong Kong, and the number of movies shown is also limited. Can they possibly broadcast them all?"
Liang Muchao also propped his head up and looked at the film crews.
"We definitely can't broadcast them all, so whoever has the ability should take over."
Shen Yao asked curiously.
"What constitutes competence?"
After asking the question, Shen Yao realized how silly it was.
He then said to himself, "It's definitely not just about who makes the best film. No one can say for sure whether the audience will like it before it's released. It's not about who has connections, is it?"
Liang Muchao raised an eyebrow and gave a silent nod of agreement.
Shen Yao chuckled and joked.
"Then I'll play the lead role in a movie. Could you, Young Master Liang, be my backer and help get the movie released?"
Liang Muchao raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Yao.
"I'll be the male lead, and I'll do everything I can to get us on the big screen."
