"Hey, sister, why are you lying to me? I have nothing to do so I can find some cheap uncles for myself?"
Seeing his elder sister's surprised look, Zhuang Rui laughed. He was in the same mood when he received Ouyang Jun's invitation. However, there was still speculation in it at that time, but now it has been confirmed.
"Xiao Rui, I think... I think life is pretty good now. You see, the repair shop in Guodong has also started to make money. There is no need for us to go to Beijing, right?"
Zhuang Min's words made Zhuang Rui laugh. It turned out that the elder sister was not only surprised, but also afraid of moving her family to Beijing. It was not until Zhuang Min was a little annoyed by Zhuang Rui's laughter that Zhuang Rui said: "Sister, we are just going
If I leave my relatives in Jingli and visit the elderly, I will still go back to live in Pengcheng. At most, I will run around more often and visit more. What kind of care do you have..."
Zhuang Rui stayed in Beijing for a few days and was a little uncomfortable with the life there. The weather was too hot and the traffic jams were severe. Of course, this is also a common problem in major cities. Although the subway diverted a large number of people, things have improved.
Traffic conditions are still a major problem faced by cities.
Zhuang Rui must have spent most of his time in Beijing during his postgraduate studies in the past few years. Now he is also thinking about buying real estate. He can't live in his uncle or grandpa's house all the time, right? As for what Uncle De said.
Zhuang Rui denied the matter at Professor Meng's house without even thinking about it.
After hearing what her brother said, Zhuang Min felt relieved. She was not an ambitious girl. Now her daughter, husband and mother were the most important people in her mind. As for her uncles and grandfathers, although
They are in a high position, but can you expect Zhuang Min, who has never had this concept in his mind, to have deep feelings for them?
"By the way, sister, please don't let me go to kindergarten these days. You all live here in the villa. Spend more time with my mother. You can get news back in four or five days at most after going to Beijing."
Zhuang Rui thought for a while and told Zhuang Min that her mother would definitely be very anxious these days, and having her granddaughter stay with her could also relieve her stress and prevent her from thinking all day long.
While the two siblings were talking, the door was pushed open. Nannan hugged the white lion's neck and was almost dragged in. The little girl refused to let go, causing her body to be covered in dust. Zhuang Min scolded her.
After saying a few words to my daughter, I took her out to take a bath.
The white lion walked up to Zhuang Rui and rubbed his body with his big head. He seemed to know that Zhuang Rui was going out again, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes. Zhuang Rui couldn't bear to see it, and he followed it with his hand.
The white lion helped him comb the long hair on his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me when I go out this time."
The white lion seemed to understand Zhuang Rui's words, and happily licked Zhuang Rui's hand with his tongue. But after Zhuang Rui made this promise, there were more troubles. It was not just as simple as driving into Beijing, but what happened when he got to the capital?
Placing the white lion is the most important thing. After thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Rui picked up the phone.
"Hello, Brother Song, this is Zhuang Rui." Zhuang Rui dialed Song Jun's phone number.
"Have you returned to Pengcheng? I have to go to Beijing during this period and have no time to go there. When will you come to Beijing?" Song Jun's voice came from the phone.
"Brother Song, I will go to Beijing the day after tomorrow, but I have something to ask you. Do you need any documents to bring the golden lion to Beijing?"
"Of course I have to do it, and I live far away from the city, so I usually don't take it out. What's the matter, you want to bring the white lion here? Hey, when your big guy comes, I'm sure you can take this little one out of Beijing.
Help grandson calm down."
Song Jun was a little excited. Although his golden lion was pure, it was too young and a bit small. It was outshone by the Tibetan Mastiff brought by someone later that day. Song Jun was still a little unconvinced.
"Yes, you also know that the Tibetan Mastiff is a lover. I will go to Beijing to go to school next year, so I have to bring it with me. I don't know if this certificate is easy to get. Brother Song, do you have any connections?" Based on the relationship between Zhuang Rui and Song Jun.
, just say what you have to say.
When Song Jun heard about this, he laughed on the phone and said: "This thing is easy, but it will take me three to five days to do it. Don't you know Miao Yatou? Ask her to do it for you.
, you can get it on the same day, that girl has strong connections in the Ministry of Public Security."
"Oh, then I'll call her later. One more thing. Brother Song, can you buy a courtyard house in Beijing now? I need a place to live when I go."
"Don't come to me about this, go to Ouyang Si'er. He's been messing with this a few years ago. He probably still has a few sets on hand. I say you might as well go further away and buy a village. Let's not talk about purity.
It’s also big.”
Song Jun didn't do anything Zhuang Rui asked him to do, but he did point out the way.
Zhuang Rui didn't want to drive for several hours every day in the future, so he thought about it and decided to buy a courtyard house. After chatting with Song Jun on the phone for a while, he hung up the phone.
Then Zhuang Rui called Miao Feifei and Ouyang Jun. Miao Feifei was very happy when she heard that Zhuang Rui would come to Beijing again the day after tomorrow. She immediately agreed to apply for a certificate for White Lion, ensuring that Zhuang Rui would be able to get it on the same day he entered Beijing.
Zhuang Rui felt relieved after getting the certificate.
As for the courtyard house, Ouyang Jun has sold everything he has, but he can still find a few units if he thinks of ways. However, he has to go and see the house in person, and Zhuang Rui can't decide now.
, I can only wait until I come to Beijing to read it before talking about it.
After checking the time, Zhuang Rui found Wu Jia's phone number and made an appointment with her to meet tomorrow morning. Zhuang Rui not only wanted to give her jadeite, but also had some things to trouble Mr. Wu.
…
"Old man, we only have this little material left, do you think it's okay?"
Sitting in the VIP room of the "Stone Room", Zhuang Rui took out the jadeite the size of a fingernail. He felt a little embarrassed. He originally said that he would give the earrings to the old man for polishing, but who knew that Uncle Gu would give it to him in one breath?
Made it.
"It's quite a lot. It's enough to make a ring noodle. Thank you, Xiaozhuang. I'll pay you 1.8 million for this little material. Do you think it's okay?"
Mr. Wu was wearing reading glasses and looked at the piece of material carefully for a while with trembling hands. His face was very happy. This grade of jadeite was rare but hard to find. He used it to polish a ring surface and then set it in the ring.
On the ring, it can be used as the treasure of "Shitou Zhai".
"Mr. Wu, one million is enough, you don't need that much..."
"That won't work. I'll tell you the truth, Xiaozhuang. After polishing the surface of this ring, I won't be able to sell it for less than 3 million. 1.8 million is already a lot of money for you. You don't want to sell it anymore."
I declined."
Before Zhuang Rui could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Wu. This thing has a price but no market. If you meet a wealthy customer, it might be sold for five million. An object like this is displayed in the store.
Those will not be sold with a price tag.
"Mr. Wu, please wait until I finish speaking. I have something else to ask of you."
"Oh? Tell me, if it's carving objects, then the old man I can't put much effort into it now..."
The old man's words revealed the desolation of a hero in his twilight years. Apart from some simple gadgets that he can now make with his own hands, he can no longer carve pendants.
"It's like this, Mr. Wu, I still have a piece of material there, and I want to polish a few pairs of bracelets. Last time you said you could ask a master from Zhuoyu to help. I wonder if that's still possible now?"
The piece of red jade on Zhuang Rui's hand is made of mediocre material at the edge, but it can be carved into a bracelet. It can barely be called a middle-to-high-grade red jade bracelet, but the grade is worse than the blood jade bracelet carved from the material inside.
many.
Zhuang Rui had planned to polish up a few pairs of them and give them to his mother as a gift. This object should not look shabby when taken out.
"Is this what you're talking about? I don't know what you want to make and how long it will take. I might as well tell my apprentice." Mr. Wu didn't ask what material Zhuang Rui was made of. He couldn't carve it himself anyway, so he asked.
Make yourself uncomfortable.
"Let's make seven or eight pairs of bracelets first. I don't know how long it will take to make this object. Mr. Wu, please give me an estimate."
There are seven or eight pairs of bracelets, which should be enough for my mother to give away. You must know that these blood jade bracelets are not cabbage. Zhuang Rui plans to only take out a good pair and use inferior materials for the rest.
"Bracelets are relatively simple to make. It just takes a little time to polish them. Twenty days is enough for seven or eight pairs of bracelets. Just wait and I'll make a call."
The old man was not convinced after accepting such a big favor from Zhuang Rui. After saying that, he left the house to call his apprentice. Zhuang Rui handed the piece of jadeite material to Wu Jia and went through the transfer procedures.
, these 800,000 are not free. The people introduced by Mr. Wu cut out a bracelet, which is worth tens of millions.
"Xiaozhuang, it's done. I have an apprentice who has been with me for more than ten years. He has agreed to take this job. He can take a month's leave from the jewelry company where he works now, but the salary he wants is not low. A
Two hundred thousand a month, do you think it’s worth it?”
After Zhuang Rui finished his work, the old man entered the house on crutches.
"Two hundred thousand?" Zhuang Rui pondered for a moment.
"If your materials are average, the price will be high, but if they are good materials, the price is not high. My apprentice is very conscientious and will not leak customer information. I guarantee that you can use it with peace of mind." Mr. Wu said.
Zhuang Rui explained that he knew his apprentice very well and was now a relatively famous carver among Yangzhou carvers.
"Okay, just two hundred thousand, Mr. Wu. In fifteen days, you can ask him to come to Pengcheng. I will provide him with food and accommodation."
Zhuang Rui calculated that within fifteen days, he should be able to finish handling matters in Beijing and return to Pengcheng.
