BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2514 - 2514: Twins
Han Tian also sensed that this was a matter of great importance and immediately followed.
Zheng Mengwei staggered unavoidably, but she still did not dare to stop. She quickly entered the operating room.
“Mengwei.” Han Tian did not know what had happened and sounded a little nervous.
“Get the people filming to leave first. The machines need to be stopped as well,” Zheng Mengwei said sternly.
Han Tian hurriedly asked these people to leave and put away all the cameras.
Only one old expert was left in the expert team.
“Uncle Huang, what’s going on?” Zheng Mengwei asked.
Uncle Huang took off his protective mask and whispered, “I’m afraid there’s something wrong with this red diamond.”
“What problem?” A bad feeling swept over her, but Zheng Mengwei still did not dare to make the worst assumption.
“When we were cutting it just now, we realized that this red diamond… is probably fake.”
Zheng Mengwei felt dizzy, and her vision darkened.
She supported herself with both hands on the table, barely managing to hold herself up.
Han Tian’s face turned pale. When the Zheng family bought the red diamond, she had also invested a sum of money.
“Uncle Huang, how is that possible? When we were in South Africa, you guys personally tested it.” Zheng Mengwei finally regained some rationality, but she was unwilling to believe this fact.
Uncle Huang shook his head regretfully. “I’m sorry, Miss Zheng. When we tested it back then, we did everything we could. However, no matter how good the method is, we could only detect the surface of the diamond and not the interior. After cutting it just now, we realized that there’s indeed a very precious layer of red diamond on the outside of this red diamond. However, putting those parts aside, the rest… Although it can be said to be a diamond, it’s very different from what we want.”
Zheng Mengwei did not believe him. “Where is it? Let me see!”
Uncle Huang pointed at the diamond on the cutting table.
Zheng Mengwei rushed over and reached out to touch it. She picked it up and looked at it in detail. It looked similar to what she had seen in South Africa.
She took out the diamond that had already been cut and placed it on a special instrument to check. Sure enough, at a glance, it could be seen that the inside was very different from the outside.
After being stunned for a while, she asked, “Is it possible that this is what a red diamond is like? The outer layer is precious, and the inner layer is ordinary. Everyone only saw its huge size and rare color, so they thought it was a unique treasure?”
Han Tian suddenly came back to her senses and said, “That’s possible. Since we can’t determine the authenticity of the red diamond, others naturally can’t determine it either. It means that this is how it should be. Only the surface layer is made of precious material.”
Zheng Mengwei asked hopefully, “Uncle Huang, is that right?”
“Miss Zheng, a naturally formed diamond won’t be like the one in front of us. After cutting it open, there are obvious traces of it being pieced together. This means that this isn’t a real red diamond,” Uncle Huang said honestly. Zheng Mengwei’s mind went blank, and she could not stand steadily.
Uncle Huang lowered his head to express his apology.
Zheng Mengwei finally sobered up, but for a moment, she did not know who to blame.
The test was indeed done by the team of experts, but at that time, she was personally present to lead the team. The members of the team had different opinions. Some people had also questioned the structure and composition of this red diamond. In other words, not 100% of the people back then agreed that it was a real red diamond.
Logically speaking, at least 99% of the people agreed to it. However, Zheng Mengwei was so overwhelmed by the desire to win that she did not care so much.
Of course, the team of experts was at fault.
However, as the leader of the team, Zheng Mengwei had to take absolute responsibility.
She recalled Qiao Weiyang’s two warnings to her not to buy this diamond…
But at that time, she didn’t think too much about it!
Han Tian could tell from her expression that there was no room for negotiation.
She asked in a low voice, “So what should we do now? Should we go look for Grava?”
She only needed to do a little calculation to know how bad the consequences of this matter were.
The failure of the investment, the loss of reputation, the subsequent negative impact, and next year’s development… The Zheng family would probably bleed a lot.
She felt that it was ridiculous for her to ask this. Grava was just a diamond broker. After selling the diamond, he would not care about anything else.
Zheng Mengwei did not answer her. Her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were blank.
After a long time, Zheng Mengwei sorted out her thoughts and said, “Only a few of us know about this.
Uncle Huang was very surprised. “But even if these diamonds are cut, they can’t be made into accessories and sold as advertised. The quality isn’t right. We can’t deceive the consumers!”
“There’s no need to cut it. Isn’t everyone in Jingdu City very curious about this red diamond? We won’t cut it. We’ll just take it to the exhibition and keep it in
the Zheng family as a treasure.” Zheng Mengwei made a decision. “Since the
person who really owns the red diamond isn’t willing to make a fuss, we can
pretend that we don’t know what this red diamond is made of and treat it as
the real deal.”
“But…” Han Tian said in a low voice. “…If we get it and sell it without cutting it, we’ll still lose a lot of money.”
“At least we’ll save our reputation, no?” Zheng Mengwei said.
Soon, Zheng Mengwei decided to display this priceless red diamond in Jingdu City along with the other jewelry of the Zheng family to increase her reputation. This could be considered as achieving her goal of buying this red diamond.
Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang received invitations at the same time. Zheng Mengwei sent them over in two sets.
When she got home that night, Qiao Weiyang took out her invitation and waved it. “Zheng Mengvvei invited me to a jewelry exhibition.”
Su Zhuoqian also took out his. “Shall we go together?”
Qiao Weiyang picked up the invitation and took a closer look. She found it a little strange. “I heard that the Zheng family was already planning to cut the red diamond. Why are they suddenly not cutting it anymore? They’re using it for an exhibition instead, and it’s a long-term one. Won’t this delay their future work?”
Su Zhuoqian did not understand either. “The Zheng family’s actions are indeed very strange. Before this, they had already made many professional preparations.”
“Could it be that… Zheng Mengwei had already started cutting it, but she realized that the red diamond was fake, so she didn’t dare to continue cutting it and could only take it out for the exhibition?”
Qiao Weiyang suddenly had this wild idea.
It had to be said that her intuition was indeed sharp. She hit the nail on the head.
Su Zhuoqian pondered for a moment. “It’s not impossible..”
