Li Wenrong had finished speaking when he pulled out a lovely little box from inside his suit. The box was pink, and it clearly didn't seem like a congratulatory gift but rather like something a boyfriend would give to his girlfriend.
He opened the box, and inside was a red bracelet, the beads were a bright chili red with peculiar textures on their surface, as if they were brimming with life.
"Oh..." Elder Zhou, seeing the bracelet, let out a sound of surprise.
Li Wenrong, knowing Elder Zhou's identity as a master appraiser, extended the bracelet slightly further so Elder Zhou could see it more clearly.
Elder Zhou took another careful look, then nodded and said, "Yes, this is a red coral bracelet, and it is of very high quality."
Elder Zhou didn't allow his dislike for Li Wenrong to unduly diminish his gift. This reflected the master appraiser's magnanimity—always fair and just in evaluating jewelry, fact-based, focusing on the object, not the person.
