Both startled by the unexpected sound, Gong Li and Li Na exchanged puzzled glances. Li Na reached out to grasp the cold metal handle.
As the door swung open, they were greeted by a bright light.
The store was transformed into a dazzling venue for the party. The walls were draped with silk curtains in shades of gold and purple, creating a luxurious backdrop for the glittering displays of jewels.
The party had just started, and only a few guests had arrived. They mingled among the glass cases, admiring the exquisite craftsmanship and design of the pieces.
Some tried on necklaces, earrings, and rings, while others sipped champagne and nibbled on hors d'oeuvres. A live band played soft jazz music in the corner, adding to the elegant atmosphere.
The store manager greeted each guest with a warm smile and a gift bag, containing a catalog and a sample of the latest perfume.
