Of course, no matter what the outcome is, I am already prepared.
I glanced at An Lan and then answered Chen Dajiang's call.
"Brother Feng, the auction is over."
"Thank you for your hard work. Is it just over?"
"Well, it just ended, we won!"
When I heard these words, I felt no emotion at all, because I was prepared for all the consequences.
But he still smiled and said: "We have just celebrated the New Year and you are still working. Thank you for your hard work."
"Brother Feng, let's not talk about the hard work. It's all for the good of the company... Besides, I'm still alone when I come back. It doesn't matter if I don't celebrate the New Year."
I smiled and asked him again: "What was the final transaction price?"
"Forty-five million euros."
I roughly converted it in my mind, and it was almost 332 million yuan.
This was more than 30 million more than expected, but it was won anyway.
I took a long breath and said, "Okay, come back after signing the contract as soon as possible."
"It will probably take a few days. There are a lot of procedures here."
"Well, I won't say thank you for the hard work. Just take care of yourself and I'll help you when I get back."
Chen Dajiang responded twice, and then complained: "Brother Feng, I didn't expect this to happen. Originally, we could win at most 300 million, but who knew that Anrui Clothing suddenly appeared and gave us more money?"
It cost more than 30 million yuan, which is nothing."
He paused and then said angrily: "And I feel that they are intentionally raising the price, and they will stop after reaching a certain point."
"are you sure?"
"It's a bit suspicious, but I have no evidence."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
After hanging up the phone, An Lan asked me: "How is the situation on the other side of the river?"
"We won, and the final transaction price was 332 million."
An Lan frowned slightly: "This amount is more than 30 million yuan more than expected!"
I sighed softly and said, "Yes! Dajiang said that if the company called Anrui Clothing hadn't been raising prices, we wouldn't have spent more than 30 million."
"What's the origin of this Anrui clothing? Are they doing this to us on purpose?"
"Not necessarily. Since it is also a clothing company, we must have had some trouble with them before. I have asked Qiangzi to investigate this company."
An Lan nodded and said: "Anyway, we finally won it."
"Well, the loss of more than 30 million yuan is a bit hard to accept, but the amount gained can give me some comfort."
"It's quite hard for Dajiang to be alone there! Even though he's celebrating the New Year, he's still working."
I smiled and said, "I can't help it. It's just the right time. He doesn't want to spend the New Year alone now."
As I said this, An Lan sighed again and said, "I don't know what Tong Xin thinks. She cheated on a college student. I'm really speechless."
"She cheated on a college student?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, that college student used to be an employee of the company. He just joined the company and just graduated from college. He happens to be in the same department as Tong Xin."
I was speechless and shook my head, and said with a wry smile: "This Tong Xin is really weird. Others cheat with rich men, but she is good. On the other hand, what is wrong with Chen Dajiang?"
"That college student is quite handsome."
An Lan's words suddenly reminded me of what Gao Sheng said to me that day. He was also a handsome guy.
For some reason, I suddenly hate the word handsome guy.
I immediately asked An Lan: "Do you think I'm handsome?"
"Of course you are handsome! In my opinion, you are the most handsome."
"Why do your words sound so fake?"
An Lan rolled her eyes at me and said, "Where is the lie? What I said is all the truth. Otherwise, why would I choose you?"
"After all, you also like handsome guys, right?"
An Lan hummed and said, "Don't you like beautiful women?"
"I like you, not beautiful women."
She made a "cut" sound and said: "According to your opinion, I am no longer a beauty, right?"
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I already have you. Even if another beautiful woman stands in front of me, I can only take a look at her."
After a pause, I added with a sneer: "Besides, in all these years, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you."
"Flatterer! I think Xiaoman looks just like you."
"My child must look like me."
After a pause, I asked her again: "By the way, if a handsome guy really comes to seduce you, will you fall?"
An Lan frowned and glanced at me and said, "What are you talking about? Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Just wanted to know."
"You have been with me for so many years, don't you still know who I am?"
"Then will you or won't you?"
"No." She looked at me firmly and said without hesitation.
I didn't ask any more questions because I believed her.
…
The New Year's bell rang loudly, and the host of the Spring Festival Gala on TV applauded and said New Year's greetings.
At this time, the sky also burst out with beautiful balls of flames. Everything in the field of vision turned into colors, so that the air was filled with the smell of fire. I seemed to see the youthful vitality hidden in every ray of light.
.
An Lan and I also came to the yard with the children. We watched the fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance. Fireworks of various colors also made the city constantly change its colors. The rumbling sound was the sound of family joy.
.
"Husband, it's the new year, do you have any special wishes?" An Lan suddenly asked me while looking at the fireworks blooming in front of him.
I thought, how wonderful it would be to make a New Year's resolution under such a situation.
After thinking for a long time, I asked An Lan beside me: "What about you? Do you have any special wishes?"
An Lan kept looking at the fireworks in the sky, then turned to look at the three children beside him, and said with a smile: "I just hope that our family can be safe and healthy, just like now, I think it is very good.
."
I looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky, pondered for a moment and said: "I have three wishes. First, I hope that our family can be healthy and safe; secondly, I hope that the company can go smoothly in the new year."
...Finally, I want to arrange a make-up wedding with you."
An Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't we agree not to have a wedding?"
"How can we not do it? This is the most important thing in life. You haven't worn a wedding dress yet. If others have it, we must have it too."
An Lan looked at me with a smile, and I looked at her. I saw all the ups and downs we had gone through over the years, and the inseparability between us.
The smell of fireworks has not dissipated, and there are fireworks blooming in the distant sky. Everyone is waiting for the New Year's bell, and children are chasing and playing under the trees hung with colorful lights.
