Four hundred and ninetieth chapters fate is not shallow
By nine-thirty, the banquet hall was already packed, with nearly sixty or seventy people present. The guests on the invitation list had already arrived, and only a few people had not yet arrived.
In front of the Ziyun Hotel, Luo Hai, Wang Hongmei and Luo Bing, a family of three who were notified by Xue Chen, got off the Audi A4 that Xue Chen gave to Luo Bing as a birthday gift.
When preparing to go upstairs, Luo Hai suddenly turned around and asked: "Hongmei, have you prepared the red envelope I asked you to prepare?"
"Ah, I forgot." Wang Hongmei patted her thigh and said hurriedly.
"I can forget about this. Let's go and ask for a red envelope at the front desk. There should be one at the front desk." Luo Hai complained and walked towards the front desk of the hotel.
Wang Hongmei and Luo Bing followed.
The front desk of the hotel prepared emergency red envelopes for guests, and they were free. Luo Hai asked for a red envelope, took out his wallet, and prepared to stuff gift money into it.
At this time, Wang Hongmei whispered: "How appropriate is the sea?"
Luo Hai also hesitated and said, "How about one thousand?"
"So much?" Wang Hongmei looked distressed and looked back at Luo Bing, "How about five hundred? Five hundred is a lot, my daughter, what do you think?"
Seeing his parents discussing how much gift money to give, Luo Bing looked in other directions and said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter how much, he won't care about it."
"My daughter is right, Xue Chen is so rich, and if our family has three melons and two dates, it will be five hundred." Wang Hongmei made the final decision.
"Okay, it's up to you, just five hundred." Luo Hai stuffed five red bills into the red envelope.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked to the front desk and asked for a slightly larger red envelope and a signature pen. He first took out a stack of unopened 10,000 yuan from the bag he was carrying.
I stuffed it into the red envelope, then took a signature pen and wrote a line of words.
Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei both turned their heads and glanced casually, thinking whether they wanted to give the 10,000 yuan red envelope to real relatives or superiors. When they saw the words written by the man, their eyes changed slightly.
"I wish Zhuo Zhuo Antique Shop good luck on its first anniversary and may its business become more and more prosperous."
Wang Hongmei's expression changed, she took two steps closer, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are also here to attend the celebration party of Zhuoyue Antique Store."
"Oh, yes." The middle-aged man turned to look at Wang Hongmei and said with a smile.
"Then are you Xue Chen's friend or relative?" Wang Hongmei then asked.
"Friend." The middle-aged man returned casually.
"Then your relationship must be very good." Wang Hongmei thought to herself, how could she receive a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan if she didn't have a good relationship.
"It's okay. I made a deal with Brother Xue and had a meal. I went up first." The middle-aged man was Hou Shiguo, who runs a horse farm and a dog farm. After nodding with Luo Hai and his wife, they took the lead to go upstairs.
.
The expression on Wang Hongmei's face became a little tangled: "Dahai, you said this person only made a deal with Xue Chen. How come he paid 10,000 yuan for one meal."
"Okay, don't think about it. It's all in vain. You can still afford ten thousand bags to buy it. There is a saying that etiquette is light but affection is heavy. Let's go up too." Luo Hai said in a calm tone.
"Yes, the courtesy is light but the affection is heavy. Our whole family is here. Xue Chen will definitely not mind the size of the red envelope." Wang Hongmei comforted herself.
Luo Bing, who was following her, sighed helplessly and was a little disappointed. Xue Chen gave her a car worth hundreds of thousands for her birthday, but her parents were still hesitating over whether to give her a red envelope of five hundred or one thousand.
, she felt helpless and powerless in her heart.
Xue Chen was standing not far from the door of the banquet hall. He would come up to greet every guest who came in. When he saw Hou Shiguo coming up, he greeted him: "Brother Hou, if you can come in person despite your busy schedule,
welcome."
"Haha, brother Xue, congratulations, congratulations. Although Zhuozhou has only opened for one year, it is now the top antique store in Haicheng. I admire it, I admire it." Hou Shiguo said with a smile and cupped his fists.
After exchanging a few words, Hou Shiguo walked aside. Wang Tianhai, who also served as the concierge, nodded, said his name, then put down the red envelope and turned away. Wang Tianhai wrote down his name and put the red envelope aside without opening it.
open.
Immediately, Luo Hai's family of three also walked to the door. Xue Chen, who was chatting with others, quickly caught that familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and looked over, and all his eyes were focused on that beautiful figure.
Luo Bing also looked back, and for a moment, their eyes met.
"Uncle Luo, Aunt Wang, please come in." After a pause, Xue Chen walked over and greeted Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei with a smile.
"Xue Chen, congratulations, congratulations, our family is very happy to see you have such a successful career today." Luo Hai said with a smile.
Xue Chen nodded calmly and walked in towards the three of them.
Wang Hongmei took two steps away, arrived at the gift table, took out the red envelope and placed it in front of Wang Tianhai. When she saw that Wang Tianhai only wrote down the name and did not open the red envelope on the spot, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xue Chen, it's been the first anniversary of the opening of your and Wang Dong's antique shop, and it's been more than a year since we graduated. Time flies so fast." Luo Bing glanced sideways at Xue Chen and said with a sigh.
Her hands were inserted into the pockets of a light brown jacket with silver buttons. A pair of high-waisted blue body-shaping jeans made her waist slim and fat-free from years of dancing. Her buttocks were also firm and round, which matched her
The back forms an exaggerated arc that makes men marvel and women envy.
"Yeah, it's so fast." Xue Chen squinted his eyes. It seemed like his college days were still yesterday. In his hand, there was still a faint memory of holding Luo Bing's hand on the school's tree-lined road lined with willow trees.
Walk all the way and watch the temperature of the sunset.
At a round table, Qi Hu took a sip of tea, squinted in Xue Chen's direction, and said as if talking to himself: "I remember this girl was Xue Chen's girlfriend in college."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ning Xuanxuan sitting at the same table from the corner of his eye.
Ning Xuanxuan frowned, turned her head, and glanced at Luo Bing and Xue Chen standing together with her clear eyes, and there was a slight flash in the depths of her eyes.
"Go and do your work. There is no need to entertain us specially. There are still so many guests." Luo Bing smiled lightly and said understandingly.
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded and turned to walk away.
There were more and more customers, and Xue Chen walked around, chatting with some old customers and old friends.
"Director Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come." Xue Chen stood at a table with a smile. Accompanying Lin Xirong was not Lin Xiongtian, the boss of Tianyun Jewelry, but the man who exuded mature charm.
Department Director Qin Lan.
Qin Lan raised the corners of her lips and said in a soft tone: "I haven't seen you for a while, and your changes are really beyond my expectation. I heard that your antique shop is now considered first-class in Haicheng, and it has only just opened.
It’s only been a few years since I achieved my current results, which is amazing.”
"Director Qin gave me the award. Well, Mr. Lin didn't come today? What a pity." Xue Chen said, Lin Xiongtian had helped and supported him a lot, and he had always been very grateful to him.
"The company is going to participate in a jewelry design competition recently. The design department is working overtime and my dad can't get away, so he can't come today." Sitting aside, Lin Xirong, who is now the signature reporter of Haicheng Evening News, pushed.
Wearing gold-framed glasses, he said with a smile on his lips.
"Oh, that's right." Xue Chen nodded slightly.
Qin Lan said with a smile: "In the original jade design competition, I was able to win third place because I got Xue Chen's piece of jade. Otherwise, without that high-quality rough stone, it would be impossible to win this award. No.
Do you know if there are any good raw materials that can be brought out and loaned to our company this time?"
"Well, it really does." Xue Chen touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Huh?" Qin Lan was just joking. Seeing that Xue Chen actually gave a positive answer, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Xue Chen, do you have any gems of good quality?"
"There is a pretty good emerald. If your company needs it, I can rent it for free." Xue Chen said with a smile.
"Emerald? How many grams? What's the grade?" Qin Lan asked hurriedly. It's not that their company doesn't have good jewelry, but since they are going to participate in the competition, they naturally strive for excellence. When Xue Chen said they had good gems, they immediately became interested. After all, Xue Chen
The jade stone that Chen took out once gave her a great surprise. What about this time?
"Eleven grams, 5A quality."
After returning from Inner Mongolia, Xue Chen deliberately and accurately tested the emerald he obtained from the mouth of the three-legged golden toad. It was just as he felt. It exceeded ten grams and reached eleven grams. Its value must have been Hengsheng.
The price of the jewelry is over six million.
"5A, eleven grams? Xue Chen, are you kidding?" Qin Lan was startled and opened her eyes wide. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The company needed jade, so Xue Chen took out one, and now he needs gems.
,Xue Chen can also take out one?
Lin Xirong's face also showed a look of surprise. Although she was not interested in inheriting her father's property, she knew how rare such an emerald was. Did Xue Chen really have it?
"How could I joke about such a big thing?" Xue Chen chuckled.
Qin Lan hurriedly changed her words: "Xue Chen, don't misunderstand me, I just..."
"Haha, Director Lin, you don't need to explain. I understand and there will be no misunderstanding. Let's do this. After the meal is over, tomorrow, I will find a time to bring you the emerald. If necessary, you can take it
.”
Lin Xirong saw that the conversation had reached this point, so Xue Chen must really have such a rare emerald in his hand. She smiled with bright eyes and said: "That's great, Xue Chen, no matter what
If you can use it, I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of my father and the company."
Qin Lan smiled and narrowed her eyes, glanced at Lin Xirong, and said with a pun: "Xue Chen, look at you here, you and our Tianyun are really destined." (To be continued)
