Clifford called himself a man of success at the last class reunion, but it turned out he just has a good godmother.
"How was it? How was my godmother's gift?" Clifford looked at Darryl triumphantly as if he had the upper hand.
"It is indeed a good gift, but no matter how good it is, it's not a gift from you. What do you have to be proud o f, flaunting your godmother's gift here? You are pretty shameless,” Darryl smiled.
At this moment, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Clifford.
No matter how this young man showed off, it was still a gift from his godmother.
'Damn it!' Clifford cursed to himself.
Noticing everyone’s gaze on him, Clifford was angry, but he did not show it. "Who said there wasn't a gift from me?"
Clifford stood up, strode over to Dax, and took out an exquisite gift box.
"President Sanders, it’s my honor to be here today to celebrate your grandfather's birthday. This is a token o f my appreciation. Please accept it," Clifford opened the gift box and said respectfully.
After Clifford said all this, he did not forget to turn toward Darryl and give him a provoking look. 1
Some of the people in the hall stood up immediately when they saw what was in the gift box. A pair of white jade pendants was delicately placed in the gift box. The jade pendants were snow white and shiny without a trace of impurities, and the birds on it were very delicately carved and lifelike.
"From the looks of the carving technique of the jade pendants, is it from the Ming Dynasty?" someone asked.
Everyone in the hall was society's elites, and they all knew something about antique artifacts.
The others nodded one after another upon hearing that.
The price of the pair of jade pendants was probably no less than two million dollars. This young man was good, and a person who was willing to present such a gift truly knows how to socialize.
"You have good eyes. Yes, this is from the Ming Dynasty. I knew that Old Master Sanders was interested in antiques. So, I purposely bought this pair of jade pendants from a private collector, hoping that h e would like it," Clifford smiled.
The pair of jade pendants were so exquisite. Even someone who did not know anything about antiques would love it when they saw it.
"You spent a lot of money on the jade pendants, right?” someone asked.
Clifford smiled slightly and said casually, "It's not much. It’s only five million bucks."
