Later, Lin Haitao drove He Qing to an Industrial and Commercial Bank in the city center. Not long after, He Qing deposited all the reward money that Mr. Huang gave him into the bank, totaling 130 million.
The four cash checks written in black and white turned into a series of numbers in the greeting card in an instant.
"Brother Qing, congratulations again, congratulations on your account of more than 100 million!" After finishing all the business and walking out of the bank, Lin Haitao said to He Qing with a smile, "You have so much money now, what do you want to do?
What are you ordering?! I guess there’s nothing impossible!”
He Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Haitao, are you exaggerating? With such a small amount of money, you can't accomplish anything! You also know that my biggest dream is to either open an auction company or a private museum.
, of course it would be better to do it together, but what is the current situation? I have only saved such a small amount of money, but it is not enough! Hey, the investment required to do this business is too large. Sometimes it costs hundreds of millions to collect a collection.
, I can use up all my wealth in one go!”
"That's true." Lin Haitao nodded and said, "But don't be anxious, take your time, you can start small and eventually become big!"
He Qing nodded and responded: "Let's talk about it later. First, collect some things by yourself. When the time comes, you will be able to collect more items."
He is not in a hurry to develop a bigger career. After all, he has only been in the industry for a short time. The top priority is to study hard, pick up the missing items, and collect some good things.
He Qing has a unique advantage in Taobao. As time goes by, he will naturally receive more good products.
"Brother Qing, shall I take you to Jiangzhe University now?" Lin Haitao asked after the two got into the car.
He Qing shook his head and said, "Let's go to the mall first instead of going there."
"What are you going to the mall for? Do you want to buy something?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
He Qing replied: "Yes, it's shopping. I want to go see the teacher first. He is our class tutor, an old professor. He is a very good person. He is probably the only teacher in the university who has some impression of me. Go up.
I left in a hurry this time and I didn't even have time to say hello to him. Since I'm going back to my alma mater today, I definitely have to go see him, and can I not prepare some gifts when I go to see the teacher?"
"That's right! It's necessary!" Lin Haitao nodded vigorously and said, "Now that you are prosperous, you should repay the teacher well!"
"Well." He Qing said, "Let's go to the mall first to see what kind of gift is suitable for the teacher."
So Lin Haitao drove him to a nearby shopping mall. About a quarter of an hour later, their car stopped in a square in front of a large shopping mall.
"Brother Qing, giving gifts to the elderly is nothing more than buying some supplements or something." Lin Haitao suggested after getting out of the car.
He Qing smiled faintly. He just hummed lightly and said nothing.
After entering a very luxurious shopping mall, He Qing did not go to a store selling medicines. Instead, he took Lin Haitao into a jewelry store first.
After walking in, He Qing quickly fell in love with a jade bracelet. It was an emerald bracelet with a green flower base. It looked crystal clear. It was very beautiful.
"Brother Qing, this bracelet is indeed made of ice-nuo jade!" Lin Haitao introduced. His understanding of jade is much deeper than He Qing's, because he was once a crazy stone betting fan, and now he
I am still fascinated by gambling on stones, but I have restrained myself and do not dare to gamble excessively anymore. Gambling on stones is the same as gambling, but you will lose nine times out of ten. Most people dare to play but cannot afford to lose.
"Ice glutinous species?" He Qing asked doubtfully, "Is it worse than ice species?"
Although he had checked a lot of information about jade before, some of the details were still vague and could not be distinguished.
Just listen to Lin Haitao say: "Well, yes. The so-called 'ice glutinous species' means that it is between the glutinous species and the ice species, almost reaching the texture of the ice species, but if you look carefully, it still lacks a little heat.
, but it’s not much different. Jadeite of the waxy variety and above is very desirable! So this bracelet is pretty good!”
"Is the price tag of 280,000 yuan worth it?" He Qing then asked.
"It's worth it! This bracelet is very beautifully made, and the green ribbon floating inside the base is particularly charming!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly.
"Then I'll buy it!" After hearing Lin Haitao's affirmative words, He Qing immediately greeted a beautiful waiter in front of him without hesitation and said, "Please wrap this bracelet for me."
"Okay!" The waiter quickly nodded in agreement, and then happily prepared to pack the food for He Qing.
Lin Haitao said with some surprise: "Brother Qing, don't tell me that your class teacher is a female professor."
He Qing smiled and shook his head: "No, he is a male professor."
"Then why are you buying jade? Jade is usually given to ladies, right?" Lin Haitao looked at He Qing in confusion and said.
He Qing said: "It's for Master's wife."
"Oh, that's it!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "But it's too generous. It's a gift of nearly 300,000 yuan! For ordinary graduates, this is one or two years' salary, and it may not be enough.
!”
He Qing said nonchalantly: "It's just a small thing, but it's actually nothing."
Although he said it very lightly and didn't seem to care much, in fact, he deliberately prepared it for the teacher's wife.
His teacher's wife is also a university teacher, but she teaches music in a foreign school. In the past, he often went to his class teacher's house for his studies. Therefore, he and his teacher's wife met many times. She was quite kind and treated people well.
Enthusiastic, but snobbish, she classifies the students who visit her into three, six or nine grades. She obviously prefers students who are good at studies or whose family situation is good. Moreover, she is not biased and looks at people differently.
He Qing had neither a prominent family background nor excellent grades in school. He was an ordinary person and a student like him, so his teacher's wife naturally didn't take notice of him, so he felt a little depressed every time he went there.
His words and deeds also seemed a bit cramped.
Since he was going to visit his class teacher this time, He Qing naturally had to make preparations. He couldn't let his teacher's wife look down on him anymore.
After buying the bracelets, He Qing and Lin Haitao turned around and walked out of the jewelry store. Then they went to buy other gifts, including flowers, fruits, supplements and other items.
After buying everything, He Qing and the others returned to the car and drove straight to Jiangzhe University.
The car drove on the road for nearly an hour, and at about eleven o'clock they finally arrived at a street near Zhejiang University.
"Haitao, let me go visit Professor Jiang first." He Qing suddenly said, "Professor Jiang lives in a nearby community. After visiting him, we will go to our school to play."
Lin Haitao said: "Okay. If you go to visit the teacher, I won't go. Your teacher and I don't know each other. I'll wait for you at the parking lot. It'll be fine if you come out after lunch. There are plenty of people in the afternoon!"
He Qing said: "Well. You don't have to wait long. I'll take a look and he'll be back. Here, just drive over to that community."
Lin Haitao drove over as instructed and stopped at the gate of the community. Afterwards, He Qing took gifts to say goodbye to Lin Haitao and walked into the community calmly.
On the way here, He Qing had already called Professor Jiang. He was at home now and he happened to be visiting.
Since he had been here several times when he was in college, He Qing was familiar with the place. It didn't take long for him to arrive in front of Professor Jiang's house and rang the doorbell.
After a while, someone answered the door.
The person who opened the door was an old man with white hair. Although the old man had wrinkles on his face, his eyes were bright and clear. His eyes were full of wisdom, and you could tell at a glance that he was a very knowledgeable old man.
"Professor Jiang!" When he saw the old man, He Qing greeted him politely.
"He Qing, are you here? Come in quickly!" Professor Jiang nodded with a smile, and then enthusiastically invited He Qing into the room.
He Qing followed him in, and Professor Jiang said: "Come here, why are you bringing so many gifts? You have just graduated. You don't have much financial income, so don't waste it!"
He Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that I'm out of school, I can make money on my own, so I came to see you. It's right to buy some gifts. Professor Jiang, this bouquet of flowers is for you. I wish you good health and all the best!"
As he spoke, he carefully stuffed the large bouquet of white gladioli flowers he had prepared into Professor Jiang's arms.
"Haha, good, good!" Professor Jiang was very happy.
"Hey, who is this classmate?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out of the back room. The woman was relatively young, in her early fifties, and she was very fashionable in her clothes. Of course He Qing knew her, it was him
That teacher’s wife who likes to look at people through colored glasses.
As he expected, his wife's impression of him was almost zero, as if she had no impression at all.
"Teacher Wu, don't you recognize him so soon?" Professor Jiang shook his head and said, "Our classmate He Qing from Class 8, haven't you met him a few times before? He just stepped out of society, and now he is in Jiangzhou
While developing, I passed by the school today because I had something to do and stopped by to see me. Look, I brought so many gifts!"
"It still looks a bit unfamiliar!" the teacher's wife looked at He Qing carefully and said.
He Qing said politely: "Hello, Master Madam! Maybe it's because we haven't seen you for a long time."
"Your name is He Qing, right?" The teacher's wife nodded slightly and said, "You're a very polite classmate. You are the only student from Class 8 who has left school and still remembers to come visit the teacher! Please sit down."
"Thank you, Master!" He Qing put the gift bags he bought on the table and sat down on the sofa.
Professor Jiang's family belongs to a middle-class family. The rooms are not very luxuriously decorated, but they are clean and beautiful, making people feel very comfortable in them.
"Classmate He Qing, do you work in Jiangzhou?" His wife asked him while pouring tea for him, "What do you do? You should know Shaohua in your class, right? Isn't he also in Jiangzhou?"
Really? He has joined a TV station, and his salary and benefits are very high!"
"Oh, of course I still remember it!" He Qing nodded, "I am not in the journalism industry, but in another industry, collecting, and now I work in an antique shop."
The "Shaohua" mentioned by the other party was once their class monitor. He was excellent in studies and had an excellent family background. It was not unusual for him to join a TV station.
In the past, He Qing and the others really envied Shaohua, but now he doesn't feel it at all. Isn't it just to work in a TV station? No matter how high the salary is, how much he can earn in a month is really not as good as the small amount he earns in a month.
A fraction of the treasure he picked up at random would be enough to keep others busy for a lifetime.
"Working in an antique shop?!" Upon hearing what he said, Professor Jiang and his wife couldn't help but look at each other.
"What prospects do you have as a journalism student working in an antique store? In a place like Jiangzhou, you have to earn at least 8,000 yuan a month to survive, right?" There was a slight change in the teacher's face, as if she was a little agitated.
Disappointed, she then said again, "Classmate He Qing, how about I call Classmate Shaohua and see if he can help you introduce a job. If you can work in a TV station, even working as a handyman is better than working in antiques."
Isn’t the store doing much better?”
"Oh, no! But thank you, Master!" He Qing hurriedly shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. That Shaohua was just doing odd jobs for him. His future was undoubtedly greater than that of any other student in their class.
, it’s simply a world of difference.
"Teacher Wu, you should also have a broader vision." Professor Jiang said, "If you are a top scholar in 360 professions, it's okay to work in an antique shop. Antiques are elegant things, and they are also a kind of culture. I will
I think He Qing’s job is good and he can keep doing it. As long as he likes it and thinks he has a bright future, that’s it! Going to college is not just about finding a job, it’s mainly about learning culture and how to be a good person!”
"Only you have a point!" The teacher's wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm doing this for the sake of classmate He Qing. I think working in a TV station is better than that! If classmate He Qing doesn't want to go, just forget it."
"Master, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I thank you." He Qing said, "Actually, my current job is pretty good. The pay may not be as high as working in a TV station, but my life is fine."
The three of them chatted casually for a while, and He Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way! Master, I bought you a gift. Look at my memory, I almost forgot it!"
After saying that, he stood up, took out a tightly wrapped gift from his bag, and handed it to his wife.
"What other gifts can you give me?" the teacher's wife said with a smile.
He Qing said: "That's right. Professor Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, I'll go down then."
"Are you leaving now?" Professor Jiang asked hurriedly, "It's not too late to leave after lunch!"
He Qing said: "I have a friend waiting for me at the gate of your community. I can't keep him waiting for too long. Professor Jiang, I will come to see you when I have time."
"Since someone is waiting for you below, I won't keep you here. You must remember to come to my house to play next time you come to school!" Professor Jiang greeted politely.
"Yes, I know, I will!" He Qing agreed.
After that, he said goodbye and left Professor Jiang's house.
As soon as he walked out, his wife opened the gift bag.
"It's an jade bracelet?!" She was shocked when she saw a dazzling jade bracelet inside, and her eyes widened even more when she saw the clear price tag on it.
"Old man, come and take a look!" the teacher's wife exclaimed, "This jade bracelet given to me by classmate He Qing cost 280,000 yuan! What on earth is this kid doing now?! Why is he so rich?!"
