This time when going to Qiancheng, Liu Chen planned to take Lin Yi with him.
Although Lin Yi is now the general manager of Zichen Group, his knowledge is still a bit lacking. When it comes to handling many things, he is not as experienced as Wang Xing, so he wants to take this opportunity to let Lin Yi also gain knowledge and improve himself.
Lin Yi did not refuse Liu Chen's proposal. On the contrary, she still had some small expectations in her heart.
In her opinion, when her father was hospitalized, Liu Chen's various behaviors showed that he liked her. However, after her father recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Liu Chen deliberately kept a distance from her.
This made her a little depressed and a little angry.
If Liu Chen doesn't like her, he shouldn't disturb her life.
If Liu Chen really likes her, not to mention how proactive he should be, at least he should express it.
But Liu Chen's deliberate avoidance during this period really made her uncomfortable.
But today Liu Chen proposed that she go to the exchange meeting in the provincial capital together, which made her think too much.
"What gift should I buy?"
After arriving in the provincial capital, Liu Chen realized that the gift had not been prepared yet.
"You also need to prepare a gift for Head Han."
Liu Chen said to himself: "After all, this is my first time going to the Han family. The head of the Han family treats me very sincerely. No matter what, the etiquette must be in place."
With this thought in mind, he glanced out the car window and happened to see a shopping mall with a large gold plaque of "Century Antique City" hanging on it.
"Then let's choose a gift here."
After Liu Chen parked the car, he took Lin Yi towards Century Antique City.
Century Antique City is the largest antique city in the entire provincial capital, with a total of five floors. The higher you go, the higher the level of antiques.
The first and second floors are like a vegetable market. All kinds of antiques are randomly placed on the counter, and many customers are shopping around.
On the third and fourth floors, there are small shops one after another. The items are arranged very elegantly, and there are obviously many fewer customers.
As soon as I got to the fifth floor, I saw a large golden plaque with "Tianfu City" hanging above the staircase.
This name obviously has an ancient flavor. The word "fu" usually refers to the mansions owned by noble families, and the characters "tian" and "city" are even more grand and domineering.
Putting these words together, they not only sound good, but also mean prosperity and wealth.
The entire fifth floor belongs to Tianfu City. Being able to occupy such a large place in Century Antique City, one can imagine how impressive Tianfu City is.
The huge Tianfu City is like an antique exhibition hall, with all kinds of exquisite and simple ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade and other miscellaneous items.
Several sales staff saw Liu Chen and Lin Yi from a distance and looked at them from head to toe.
Both of them were wearing casual clothes, but Liu Chen's clothes looked unremarkable, even a little ordinary.
His ordinary clothes made these salesmen who were accustomed to meeting noble people give up their service.
"Hello, sir, what do you need? I can introduce it to you."
At this moment, a young salesman stepped forward with a sincere smile on his face.
When other salesmen saw this scene, they all looked disdainful.
Tianfucheng is the best antique store in the entire provincial capital, and the antiques in it are worth millions to tens of millions.
Even some nouveau riche may not be able to afford it even if they come, let alone a young man wearing a miscellaneous brand.
Most people just come here because of its reputation and are addicted to it.
"I need two small items, one for an elder who is about seventy years old, and one for a twenty-year-old girl as a birthday gift. Can you recommend it to me?"
Liu Chen said, he took a look at the badges sold by a young woman named Wang Yan.
"Sir, what is your psychological price?" Wang Yan asked again.
"It's all around 10 million! Of course, if there is a more suitable one that exceeds this price, I won't be happy, as long as the product is good." Liu Chen said.
Hearing Liu Chen's words, the salesmen in the distance all had expressions of disdain on their faces. They didn't believe that Liu Chen would buy antiques worth tens of millions, and there were two of them.
"Lin Yi?"
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded.
A saleswoman wearing work clothes walked over.
At first glance, Lin Yi thought he looked familiar, but forgot who he was.
When she saw the saleswoman's badge, she suddenly realized that this woman was actually her high school classmate.
"Yu Xiaowei, long time no see!" Lin Yi nodded slightly.
There was no wavering in her eyes, and she looked at Yu Xiaowei as if she had just met him.
All in all, I haven't seen him for more than five years now.
Yu Xiaowei was the class beauty at the time, and her private life was quite chaotic. She would have a different boyfriend every once in a while.
It is said that this woman was kept as a child when she was a freshman in college.
But everything was just hearsay, and Lin Yi didn't know what the truth was.
"It's really you! I didn't expect to meet you here."
Yu Xiaowei pretended to be surprised, but her eyes were full of teasing: "What about you, where are you now? You can even come to Tianfu City to buy things!"
"It's been more than a year since I graduated, and I can barely work as a small supervisor in Tianfu City. Compared with you, a top student, I must be a million miles away, right?"
As Yu Xiaowei spoke, she deliberately puffed up her chest and subconsciously reached out to touch the badge, fearing that Lin Yi wouldn't see the word "supervisor" on his badge.
As a high school classmate, Yu Xiaowei knew Lin's situation very well.
Lin Yi's family had been kicked out by the Lin family a long time ago, and they were no different from ordinary people.
Naturally, she would not believe that just one and a half years after graduation, Lin Yi could do better than her.
"I just go to work and dawdle around, but I still can't compare with you." Lin Yi said with a faint smile.
How could she not hear the sarcasm in Xiaowei's words?
But now Lin Yi is much more mature than a year ago, so naturally she won't argue with Yu Xiaowei.
"By the way, is this your boyfriend? He's very handsome." Yu Xiaowei then looked at Liu Chen and asked.
Just as Lin Yi was about to say something, Liu Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad. I don't think I'm ugly either."
His words were a change of direction and he admitted that he was Lin Yi's boyfriend.
Of course he knew that this Yu Xiaowei was not very friendly to Lin Yi, and had even been competing with Lin Yi overtly and covertly.
"What do you call a handsome guy?" Yu Xiaowei looked at Liu Chen and smiled.
"Mo Chen." Liu Chen's expression did not change.
"Where is handsome guy Mo going? He must be a senior executive of a big company, right?" Yu Xiaowei laughed again.
"I am a homeless person." Liu Chen smiled slightly.
Yu Xiaowei was startled for a moment, and then her smile became more interesting: "Handsome Mo, I'm afraid you still don't know that the minimum price for anything in Tianfu City starts at one million, right?"
