The business of the antique store suddenly became booming, and Huang Pinqing was completely shocked. He originally thought that what Xue Chen did was of no use, but obviously he was wrong.
As the appraiser of the Yang'an store, he can get a certain bonus based on the profit of the store. He is naturally happy to see the business of the antique store getting better and better. He is also secretly glad that he endured that sigh and kept the store.
Come down.
Although he didn't want to think so in his heart, subconsciously, he realized that he had misjudged the situation and failed to realize that a young apprentice at that time could be as capable as he is now!
Yang Guang was very excited when he learned about the boom in Yang'an store's business. He wanted to treat Xue Chen to a meal, because he was also the third largest shareholder of the Yang'an store, accounting for 20% of the shares. The better the business, the more natural he would be.
Can get more dividends.
"We're old friends, so there's no need to eat." Xue Chen replied with a smile when Yang Guang invited him to dinner.
"Xue Chen, actually besides eating, I still have something I want you to help me with," Yang Guang said.
"Oh, okay."
The two agreed on a place. When Xue Chen arrived, the two chatted while eating. Yang Guang also told what he wanted to ask Xue Chen for help.
"Lili's father is approaching his sixtieth birthday. After the old man retired from work, he became obsessed with playing with walnuts. I wanted to give him a pair of better walnuts, but I never found any good ones.
I'm just thinking that you know a lot of friends, so help me find out who has walnuts in their hands and wants to sell them, and I'll buy them."
"Oh, walnuts." Xue Chen nodded.
"To tell you the truth, I've been walking around Guangyuan Street a lot in the past few days, and I wanted to try spending money to buy a pair myself. But I spent more than three thousand, got a lot of rags, and changed hands for four hundred.
Sold." Yang Guang said depressedly.
"Okay, I will help you pay attention." Xue Chen agreed.
"That's great. You don't have to worry. There is still one month before your sixtieth birthday. If you don't find it, forget it. At worst, you can just exchange it for a birthday gift." Yang Guang said.
When Xue Chen heard Yang Guang mention his future father-in-law's birthday, Luo Bing's birthday also came to mind. He glanced at his phone and saw that his birthday was the day after tomorrow.
Luo Bing himself didn't care much about Luo Bing's birthday, but Luo Bing's mother, Wang Hongmei, kept talking about it and gave numerous instructions, asking Luo Bing to remind Xue Chen more times.
"Xiao Bing, remember to call Xue Chen tomorrow night and ask him to come home to celebrate your birthday." Wang Hongmei brought the fruit plate and said to Luo Bing who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"I met him a few days ago and talked to him." Luo Bing replied.
"Oh, didn't that happen a few days ago? What if he forgets? Listen to me and make another call tomorrow." Wang Hongmei said earnestly.
The reason why she cares so much about Xue Chen is naturally because on the way back from Cicada Temple, Xue Chen promised to come over on Luo Bing's birthday to talk about the fateful person. In her opinion, Xue Chen can become the fateful person, and she is a great contributor.
, I can't treat her badly.
Luo Hai picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it. He heard his wife mentioned Xue Chen again and again and asked Xue Chen to come to her home to celebrate her daughter's birthday. Without saying anything more, he thought about it and said: "By the way, Xiao Bing, that
Our director's nephew Yunhui will also come."
"he?"
When her father mentioned that person, Luo Bing looked a little reluctant. She had met Jiang Yunhui a few times, and her parents had arranged for him, but she really didn't have a good impression of that person.
"I mentioned your birthday in the bureau. Our director must have informed his nephew after hearing about it. Since he is here to celebrate your birthday, there is no reason not to welcome him, and I have met Yunhui's kid twice.
, people are okay." Luo Hai wiped his mouth and said.
Luo Bing didn't want to talk about Jiang Yunhui, so he got up and went back to his room.
As soon as Luo Bing left, Wang Hongmei hurriedly said to Luo Hai: "What do you think? We have already invited Xue Chen, why did you let that Jiang Yunhui come?"
Luo Hai picked up another grape and said with a wise look: "Of course I have my reasons for doing this, Hongmei, I know you want Xue Chen and Xiao Bing to get together again, but now we don't
Intervened, but the two of them have no intention of getting back together now. You don’t know, on the opening day of Xue Chen’s Yang’an Antiques branch, I saw four or five young and beautiful girls present among the people present, all with good backgrounds, and
We are very familiar with Xue Chen."
Wang Hongmei frowned.
"So, maybe Xue Chen still has Xiao Bing in his heart, but whether they can get together is unknown. I don't think there is much hope, so you can't hang yourself on a tree, you must make more plans."
Luo Hai said lightly.
"I understand, you are more thoughtful and should indeed make more plans." Wang Hongmei nodded and said.
Luo Hai's family didn't have many close relatives in Haicheng. Only their cousin Luo Jiang's family came over early on their birthday.
As soon as he entered the living room, Luo Jiang took out a gift box and handed it to Luo Bing's hand: "Xiao Bing, your aunt and I gave this to you."
Luo Bing took it and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, Auntie, why are you so embarrassed to let you spend money?"
"You should." Luo Jiang chuckled, "Take it apart and take a look, do you like it?"
"Uncle Jiang, of course I like what you gave me." Luo Bing said very sensibly. When he opened the gift box and saw a light green jade bracelet inside, he put it on his wrist with a smile.
Said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
"Xiao Bing's niece is beautiful and has a good temperament. She looks good when she wears it." Luo Jiang praised.
Luo Bing smiled sheepishly and pursed her lips.
Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei smiled when they saw that what Luo Jiang had given him was an jade table. Although they didn't know much about it, they could tell that this bracelet must cost several thousand yuan.
At this time, Luo Zhiqiang, who came with him, also presented a gift he had bought, which was a wooden comb: "Sister Xiao Bing, I spent 800 yuan on this wooden comb. It is carved from sandalwood.
, using it is good for your hair.”
When Luo Jiang saw the comb, he frowned and asked, "Zhiqiang, where did you buy this comb? Who told you it's made of sandalwood?"
Luo Zhiqiang's eyes moved and he said calmly: "I bought it on the antique street. The person who sold it told me."
"Nonsense!"
Luo Jiang became angry when he heard this, "You will believe whatever I say. This is not any kind of sandalwood at all. I don't know what kind of broken wood was used, but oil mixed with fragrance was pressed in."
Hearing his father's scolding, Luo Zhiqiang lowered his head: "I don't know either."
He said he didn't know, but in fact he knew clearly that this was a replica, and the price was not 800 yuan, but 40 yuan! Naturally, he did this to save himself money, and not to let his uncle's family suffer.
To find fault with it, he took great pains to come up with such a good idea.
Sure enough, Luo Hai saw Luo Jiang's rebuke and hurriedly stopped him: "Da Jiang, don't talk about Zhiqiang like that, it's okay if he is so distracted."
Wang Hongmei knew that the wooden comb was not made of sandalwood. Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still had a smile on her face and comforted her: "It's just as long as Zhiqiang's wishes come true."
Luo Jiang felt disgraced. He was also considered the number one figure in Haicheng's antique circle, but his son actually got an eyeful on the antique street and bought fakes as birthday gifts. If this spread,
, where to put his face?
Luo Zhiqiang wanted to get rid of this matter quickly, rolled his eyes, and brought up another topic: "By the way, the person who introduced me to the job last time will come to celebrate Sister Xiaobing's birthday today.
"
"Tell me Xue Chen, he should be arriving soon." Wang Hongmei said.
When Luo Jiang heard that Xue Chen was back, he frowned and sighed inwardly, but didn't say much.
While she was talking, there was a knock on the door. Wang Hongmei hurried over to open the door. When she saw that the person standing at the door was not Xue Chen, but another young man, she hesitated and said, "Oh, you are Yun Hui, right?"
The visitor was considered a talented person, wearing a pair of glasses and a gray casual suit. When he saw Wang Hongmei, he smiled and said, "You are Xiaobing's mother, Aunt Wang."
When Jiang Yunhui arrived in the living room, Luo Hai also came up to him and said with a smile: "Yunhui is here. Come on, let me introduce you." He immediately introduced everyone present.
Jiang Yunhui shook hands with Luo Jiang and asked Luo Zhiqiang casually: "Where is Zhiqiang's job?"
Luo Zhiqiang looked a little embarrassed and said nothing. Luo Hai hurriedly said: "Zhiqiang resigned from his last job because he was dissatisfied. He has not found a suitable job yet."
"That's right, well, if you don't go well at work, you should resign. Like when I was at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I just drank tea and played on the computer all day. It was very relaxing." Jiang Yunhui said with a faint smile, a look of satisfaction on his face, and glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
Luo Bing continued, "If Zhiqiang is willing, I can help you find a job. I know a lot of friends who are bosses. It's easy to prepare and there's money."
Luo Zhiqiang liked a job that was easy and profitable. Regardless of whether it was the first time they met, he agreed in a hurry: "Thank you so much, Brother Hui. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"Easy to say." Jiang Yunhui smiled and nodded.
Jiang Yunhui's actions also immediately won the favor of Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei. Luo Jiang also nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, he is much more pleasing to the eye than that boy Xue Chen!
Jiang Yunhui also struck while the iron was hot and handed a paper shopping bag in his hand to Luo Bing: "Xiao Bing, I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you." Luo Bing took it in his hand.
Luo Zhiqiang's affection for Jiang Yunhui increased greatly, and he also saw that Jiang Yunhui was interested in Luo Bing, so he said: "Sister Xiao Bing, open it and take a look at the gift from Brother Hui?"
"All right."
Luo Bing agreed lightly. Just when he was about to open the gift box in the shopping bag, there was a knock on the door. (To be continued)
