His eyes always followed Jiang Meiling's figure, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Whenever Jiang Meiling and Daomingsi smiled at each other, an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart.

At the party, with melodious music and flashing lights, the guests were immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

However, at this moment, a strange man suddenly broke the silence.

He looked at Jiang Meiling sharply, staring at the jewel necklace on her neck, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"This, isn't this the colorful gemstone necklace worn by the European Queen of the last century?!" the man screamed, his voice full of shock and disbelief.

Jiang Meiling was startled by the sudden scream. She frowned slightly and turned to look at the strange man.

His face was full of excitement and his eyes were flashing with greed, as if he had seen some priceless treasure.

"Sir, have you made a mistake?" Jiang Meiling smiled with a hint of doubt in her tone.

She was secretly alert in her heart. Although the necklace was beautiful, it was not a treasure worn by the queen. It was just an item she exchanged in the system mall with 50 points!

"It can't be wrong!" the man said firmly, "I once saw the description of this necklace in an ancient book. The colorful gems on it sparkled with charming light, exactly the same as this necklace!"

The man's voice attracted the attention of the surrounding guests. They gathered around and looked at the necklace on Jiang Meiling's neck curiously.

For a time, Jiang Meiling became the focus of everyone's attention.

Amid the crowd's gaze and discussions, an old man in plain clothes but with sharp eyes slowly approached.

He held a magnifying glass in his hand, his eyes fixed on the jewel necklace on Jiang Meiling's neck, as if he could see the story behind the necklace through the layers of bright light.

"Let me see." The old man's voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable authority.

He gently held up the necklace and carefully observed each gem on it with a magnifying glass.

The guests around were attracted by the old man's actions. They held their breath and waited for the old man's identification results.

Jiang Meiling felt a little nervous. She was not sure whether the necklace was really a treasure once worn by the queen as the strange man said.

After a moment, the old man put down the magnifying glass and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This... this is indeed a rare necklace." The old man took a deep breath and said slowly, "The colorful gemstones on it are not only pure in color, but each one has been carefully polished and inlaid. What's even more rare is that the style and craftsmanship of this necklace are exactly the same as the empress's necklace recorded in ancient books."

"Is this really the necklace the Queen wore?" someone couldn't help but ask.

The old man nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, this is indeed the necklace that the Queen once wore. Its value is far beyond what money can measure. It represents a kind of honor and inheritance."

Just as the old man's affirmative words fell, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes suddenly walked to the center of the crowd. His eyes were fixed on the necklace on Jiang Meiling's neck, as if he was deeply attracted to it.

"Miss," the middle-aged man smiled, his voice revealing unquestionable confidence, "I am very interested in this necklace. I am willing to bid 500 million to buy it. This is a treasure of great historical significance and artistic value. I want more people to have the opportunity to appreciate its beauty."

"Haha, five million? Are you here to make a fool of yourself? This necklace has been lost for so long and now it appears at tonight's party. You actually want to buy it for five million?" The speaker was a girl named Qili'ao.

She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming flower.

Her long black curly hair draped over her shoulders added a touch of charm and pride.

At this moment, she stood in the crowd, staring sharply at the man who tried to buy the necklace with five million, with a disdainful arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Five million? That's simply an insult to this necklace!" Qi Li'ao's voice was clear and proud. She continued, "This necklace has been lost for so long, and now it has reappeared at the party tonight. How can its value be measured by money? It represents a kind of honor and inheritance. It is a priceless treasure!"

Just as everyone was discussing the value of the necklace, the voice of System 005 sounded in Jiang Meiling's mind.

System 005: Host, you have a new mission. Please hand over this necklace to the country free of charge and you will receive a reward of 10 points.

Jiang Meiling: No way! I used 50 points to buy the necklace, and now you want me to hand it over to the country for free?!

System 005: Host, we need to look further ahead. When you hand over this necklace, won't your status be elevated? Just think about it, for a girl who regards money as dirt, what a high-class compliment!

Jiang Meiling: Only your systems can brainwash people!

Although she felt a little reluctant, Jiang Meiling knew that the value of this necklace was far beyond what money could measure and it should be properly preserved and passed on.

Jiang Meiling took a deep breath, walked to the center of the crowd, and said loudly, "I have decided to hand over this necklace to the country free of charge. I believe that only the country can give it the respect and protection it deserves."

As soon as she finished speaking, applause and praise broke out from the crowd.

Jiang Beichen also applauded. It turned out that the girl he liked was the best.

Under the illumination of bright lights, Mr. Dao Minghang walked in front of the crowd with steady steps. His eyes swept over every guest present and finally stopped on Jiang Meiling.

A warm smile appeared on his face, and his voice was loud and solemn, "Everyone, today, I have something important to announce."

He paused for a moment to draw everyone's attention to him, and then continued, "After careful consideration, I have decided to grant Jiang Meiling 3% ownership of Dow Enterprises starting today. From now on, she will not only be a valuable member of Dow Enterprises, but also my niece, Dao Minghang."

The whole audience was shocked when she said this, and the guests all looked at Jiang Meiling with envy and admiration.

Jiang Meiling felt a little surprised, but more grateful and happy.

She had never expected that her uncle would announce her relationship with Taoism on such an important day.

She never expected that her uncle would be willing to give her 3% of Dow Enterprises' shares!

Doesn't this mean that she can act as she pleases in the future?
