    Chapter 1413


    After getting off work, Lucy went to the mall to pick out a gift, but she really did not know what she


    could buy.


    Thus, she took out her cell phone, typed a message, and sent it to ine.


    However, the suggestions she got were all expensive luxury items she could not afford.


    ‘I’ve definitely gone to the wrong person for advice" Lucy looked around the mall, and her gazended


    on a souvenir store.


    She suddenly thought of Hector''s mecha figure collection in his house.


    ‘He should be interested in these, right?’ Lucy went into the store to look for a gift, and the salesperson


    came up to her and introduced a few models to her enthusiastically.


    She told him it was a gift, and the salesperson instantly understood her needs.


    "Are you buying a gift for your boyfriend?"


    Lucy choked on her reply and became incoherent out 0 f anxiety.


    "Of course not.He’s just an ordinary friend."


    As if he did not hear her exnation, the salesperson brought her to the shelf on the other side of the


    shop.


    "Anyway, he’s just a man.And as long as he’s aman, no matter how old he is, he’ll have the yful


    mind of a full-grown boy.These figurines are the best-sellers in our store."Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Lucy looked at the various figurines disyed on the racks—there were anime characters and mechas.


    She took a nce at the price tags and was surprised.


    "Are all these toys so expensive?"


    The salesperson gave off a helpless smile.


    "Toys and figurines are different.If you were to go out there and ask around, you''d realize that it’s


    absolutely normal for figurines to be sold for hundreds of dors or even a few thousand dors.


    "Figurines are expensive not only because some of them are limited but it’s also because figurines are


    very fragile and require a certain amount of maintenance cost.Most of the raw materials used to create


    figurines are very sensitive to ultraviolet rays and will undergo irreversible changes under irradiation,


    such as degradation and decolorization.The figures shouldn’t be heated either.Otherwise, they’ll age


    very easily and reduce their lifespan."


    Lucy took out her cell phone, checked her ount bnce, gnashed her teeth, turned her head


    around, and asked, "Then do you have a limited edition version here?"


    Lucy cruelly burned a hole in her purse and bought a limited-edition robot figurine that cost $2,500.She


    buried her face in the steering wheel when she returned to the car with the figurine.


    ‘Impulsive purchase is truly the devil!’ However, Lucy was relieved upon thinking that he should like this


    gift.When the night arrived, clusters of neon light bulbs lit up and appeared under the night sky.


    The Grand Hotel of Bassburgh, located in Bass Wave Port, looked like a shining pearl that was


    standing near the overpass.


    There was a long table covered with a blue and white cloth in the splendid banquet hall, and all kinds of


    wine and delicacies were ced on the table.


    The waiters weaved through the brightly dressed crowd, pouring wine for the guests.


    Maisie and Nn stood in the crowd.


    Most of the businessmen who came to talk to them were coborators of ckgold.


    "Apart from Royal Crown, even Zestar is now operating under ckgold’s banner.Mr.Goldmann is


    indeed an exceptional and resolute entrepreneur."


    Royal Crown and Zestar were among the top agencies i n the entertainment industry.


    Zestar had only messed up their serious operation because of their management style.


    Another businessman said with a smile, "ckgold has acquired Zestar, so it’l] be an even more


    powerful yer in the entertainment industry from now on."


    "Yo, Mr.Hannigan and Mr.Boucher are here too."


    Seeing Tanner and Helios appear, several owners ofpanies walked toward them with wine sses


    enthusiastically.


    Tanner was one of ckgold’s business partners, and as for Helios, he had gone behind the scenes


    and be a director after quitting the entertainment industry.


    Naturally, his connections in the circle had be even stronger than before.


    Everyone knew that Nn had acquired Zestar for his cousin-inw, who hated the previous Zestar


    higher- ups.


    The cousin-inw had just taken over Zestar, so there must be a need to strengthen his connections in


    the industry.


    The purpose of holding this banquet was to give the cousin-inw a chance to set a foothold i n the


    circle.


    Helios’ appearance was him showing Nn a lot of respect.
