Andrew also looked at his assistant strangely and asked with concern: "Amanda, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something interesting and suddenly you laughed? Why don't you tell us and make us all happy."
Amanda's cheeks turned red, and after taking a breath, she hurriedly put her feet back into her shoes, said sorry, got up and walked out of the room.
"What's wrong with her?" Ning Xuanxuan glanced at Amanda suspiciously and asked Xue Chen in a low voice.
"I don't know." Without Amanda's harassment, Xue Chen once again focused all his attention on the food and started to enjoy it.
Ning Xuanxuan snorted softly and muttered: "I guess you must know what's going on. Judging from the springy look on her face, she must have something to do with you."
Xue Chen kept his head silent, but his heart skipped a beat and he thought, when did Sister Xuan's observation and intuition become so powerful?
After a while, Amanda came back. This time she became more honest after sitting down and no longer dared to "act wildly".
"Miss Ning, nice to meet you, let me toast you." Suddenly, Amanda raised the wine glass in her hand and gestured to Ning Xuanxuan to toast.
Ning Xuanxuan glanced at Amanda with her bright eyes. Although she didn't like this woman, she still wouldn't do anything rude, so she also picked up the wine glass: "I'm glad to meet you too."
Xue Chen was sandwiched between the two women and kept silent, but he could clearly hear the insincerity in the voices of the two women.
Unexpectedly, after Amanda picked up the wine glass, she drank all the wine in one gulp. In an instant, two more touches of pink appeared on her cheeks.
When Ning Xuanxuan saw that the other party had drained the wine in the cup, of course she would not lose her portion, so she drank it all in one gulp.
The celebration banquet lasted for more than three hours. Even Andrew drank a little too much and sang a song excitedly. Xue Chen wanted to knock him out with a stick.
The two ladies also drank several glasses of wine and were dizzy. When they returned to the hotel, the hotel maid helped them go upstairs.
Almost as soon as he lay on the bed, Andrew fell asleep and snored.
Xue Chen took off his shirt and went to the bathroom to wash up. He was a little sleepy at first, but after taking a bath, he felt energetic. So he took out a book "Han Ji" and turned on the bedside lamp to read.
It was around twelve o'clock before he closed the book, turned off the lamp and went to sleep.
Little did he know, something happened in the next room.
Just when Xue Chen was about to lie down, a person sat up on the bed in the next room where the lights had been turned off. After rustling for a while, he simply took off his clothes, stood up gently, and walked towards the door.
But just a few steps away, a "ha" sound suddenly sounded from the other bed.
The woman who got out of bed paused, did not continue walking towards the door, and turned around to enter the bathroom.
…
The next morning, the Gulfstream passenger plane with the EKA Group logo painted on its fuselage took to the sky and embarked on its return journey.
Xue Chen looked through the window in a happy mood, looking at the blue sky and large white clouds outside. He was also very energetic. When he looked at Sister Xuan next to him, he found that she was not in good spirits. She was closing her eyes to rest, with circles under her eyes.
Looking a little tired.
"Sister Xuan, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"
Ning Xuanxuan opened her eyes, glanced at Xue Chen, smiled, and said meaningfully: "I had a dream last night. A fox wanted to steal the chicken."
"The fox stole the chicken?"
Amanda, who was sitting in the seat opposite, had an expressionless face, her lips slightly pursed, and deep resentment flashed across her dark blue eyes.
More than ten hours later, the plane landed at the airport in Shanghai.
Xue Chen waved goodbye to Andrew and Amanda.
"I really can't bear to have you leave, brother. It's almost a good season to go out to sea. How about we go out to sea together in a few days?" Andrew asked.
"Okay." Xue Chen made an OK gesture, nodded towards Amanda who was standing quietly beside him, bent down and got into the car, and took Ning Xuanxuan on the way back to Haicheng.
"Are you going to go to sea with Andrew?" Ning Xuanxuan looked sideways at Xue Chen, frowning slightly.
"Yeah, it's quite fun to fish on Andrew's Sun Wukong yacht on the sea." Xue Chenting liked the feeling of floating on the sea, the vastness of the sky and the boundless land.
"Remember to call me and I will go with you." Ning Xuanxuan said without any doubt.
Xue Chen didn't think much about it, thinking that Sister Xuan also liked the sea breeze, so he agreed smoothly: "No problem."
After seeing off Sister Xuan and returning home, as soon as he sat down, his cell phone rang a few times. He picked it up and saw that Wang Dong had sent a photo. Coincidentally, it turned out to be a nugget of gold.
That nugget of gold is about the size of a duck egg, with pits all over it, and it shines with a moving golden color. The color is very natural, so it should be real, and its value should be high, it must be three to five million.
Before he could ask where the photo was taken, Wang Dong typed and told him: "Laoyan Yan got it two days ago and spent 4.2 million. He specially called me to show off to me.
, look at his proud look!" Behind the text was an angry expression.
Xue Chen laughed and replied with two words: Haha. He also felt inexplicably that Yan Ruxing and Wang Dong seemed to be born to be incompatible with each other. Although there was no grudge, they would definitely make each other angry if they had the opportunity.
"Huh? Can you receive WeChat messages abroad?" Wang Dong asked in surprise.
"I'm back, I'm home." Xue Chen replied.
After a while, Wang Dong sent another message: "Lao Yan said that he was in a happy mood and planned to treat us to dinner. When I heard that you were back, let me tell you that my old place, Ziyun Hotel, made me mad.
I must eat more, because I feel sorry for him."
Xue Chen was really amused by Wang Dong and typed back: "What is there to be angry about? It's a coincidence. Gold nuggets are rare to see. I didn't expect that Uncle Yan also got one."
When Wang Dong saw Xue Chen's words, he smacked for a while before he could taste it, and asked: "Old Xue, what do you mean? Have you seen other gold nuggets recently?"
Xue Chen took out the gold nugget he brought back from the Jade Eye Space, placed it on the coffee table, took a photo and sent it to Wang Dong.
The Internet speed of Wang Dong's mobile phone is not very good. He only saw a picture sent by Xue Chen, but not the content of the picture. He waited for a long time before it refreshed. When it was a little bigger, his eyes were straight and his lips were trembling.
After a few seconds, he asked hurriedly: "What the hell? Where did this come from?"
When he found out that it was Xue Chen who brought back a piece of nugget gold from Ghana, which weighed four kilograms, Wang Dong's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he stood up suddenly.
At this time, he was in the living room on the second floor of Wanrui Antique Shop. There were quite a few people sitting there, up to ** people, all of whom had heard the news and came to admire the gold nugget that Yan Ruxing had recently acquired.
The gold nugget passed through everyone's hands, and everyone who saw it nodded, saying that it was a good thing. After all, this thing is really rare.
A group of people were chatting lively when Wang Dong suddenly stood up, startling everyone.
Yan Ruxing narrowed his eyes and asked: "Fat Wang, just now you said that Xue Chen was back. Did you tell him about my dinner treat?"
Wang Dong calmed down for a moment, with a smile on his face, hehehe said: "I told you, I told you, eh, I have something here, Uncle Yan, can you show it?" He called Yan Laozhao in private, but publicly
You still have to give some face.
With that said, Wang Dong walked over with a smile and handed over his mobile phone: "Uncle Yan, what do you think of this thing?"
Yan Ruxing took the phone, took a look at the photo, looked at Wang Dong suspiciously, and smiled: "Fat Wang, you got this picture from the Internet, right? What do you mean by showing it to me? I also met you online.
There is a bigger gold nugget, but it’s of no use, it’s not our thing.”
"NO, NO, NO." Wang Dong stretched out a finger and waved it, "That's wrong. Uncle Yan, this picture was not downloaded from the Internet. Take a closer look at the background of the photo."
"Huh?" Yan Ruxing looked down again. Shen Wanjun next to him also glanced at it curiously and exclaimed, "This solid wood coffee table is the same as Xue Chen's."
After saying this, Yan Ruxing also noticed that not only the coffee tables were the same, but the floor was also the same. This was clearly taken at Xue Chen's home.
"This is..." Yan Ruxing was stunned for a moment.
"Hehe, to be honest with you, this piece was brought back from abroad by him. He just took a picture of it for me to see. How do you like it? It's much bigger than your piece." Wang Dong said cheerfully.
"Is it Xue Chen?"
If it were someone else, Yan Ruxing would definitely be dubious. Even if there was such a thing, he would have to think it was a fake. But if he said it was Xue Chen's, then there would be no escape. It must be the real thing.
Looking at the large piece of nugget gold in the picture, and then looking at the piece in his hand, Yan Ruxing twitched the corner of his mouth: "Xue Chen, this stinky boy, is really trying to undermine me, so let him have this meal."
Please, this brat!"
"No, he doesn't need to invite me. I'll treat you to this meal!" Wang Dong finally felt at ease. You can show me off with a piece of gold nugget as big as a duck egg. Now it's not enough.
He was also in awe of his old classmate. He was indeed a "thief who never leaves home". Almost every time he came back from a business trip, he would definitely bring something out of the ordinary. He was so envious that he couldn't even envy him.
The phone was passed around among everyone. When they found out that Xue Chen had brought it back from Africa, everyone was amazed and said that they had never seen such a big gold nugget in their lives.
"Tell Xue Chen, don't just show us a picture. Bring it over later and let us take a look and appreciate it." Cai Yuanming said. (To be continued)
