On a certain street in the Magic City, Zheng Ge was shopping with great interest. Sometimes he would go into a roadside shop and buy something he liked when he saw something.
Financial freedom is so great.
When you see something you like, there is no need to think or hesitate at all.
Just buy it directly.
This reminded him of his past, when he saw something, it didn't matter if it was cheap. But if it cost hundreds of dollars, he always had to hesitate whether it was worth it.
After all, to my former self, a few hundred dollars was already a lot.
"Hmm! What should I give dad for his birthday?"
Looking at a cake shop on the roadside, Zheng Ge counted the days and realized that his father's 50th birthday was coming soon.
My father’s birthday is on March 26th of the lunar calendar. According to the Gregorian calendar, it will be the 7th of next month. Today is April 20th, only half a month is left.
Looking around, Zheng Ge was thinking about choosing a gift for his father.
To be honest, every year on my parents’ birthday, he is always a little worried about gifts.
Especially this year, I am even more worried.
This year is my father's 50th birthday.
According to Chinese tradition, this is my 50th birthday.
"What should I buy?"
Dad doesn’t smoke, but he drinks a little wine sometimes, but he’s not addicted to alcohol. He just likes to have a few drinks on rainy days, but he has no other hobbies.
In my spare time, I usually play mahjong, landlord fights, etc. with some old friends.
Unlike other old men who like antiques, calligraphy and painting, etc.
If I gave my father a calligraphy and painting, I would probably end up in ashes.
I have only just emerged a few years ago, and my father has not yet developed the habit of playing calligraphy and painting.
After all, things like calligraphy and painting are only for rich people.
Authentic calligraphy and painting can cost hundreds of thousands or millions at any time. There are also tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
With his family's conditions back then, he couldn't even afford it!
So this kind of hobby is also developed according to the environment.
What kind of environment can cultivate what kind of hobbies?
In addition to antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are also other things, such as cars. But these are also available at home. In the garage of the villa purchased for his parents in Luo Cheng, there are no less than 10 luxury cars of various types.
There are also several cars in the garage in my hometown community.
Now their family lacks nothing.
Mom and dad are not the ones who are picky about things, so they just buy whatever they need.
"How about buying a piece of jade?"
Zheng Ge saw a jewelry store on the roadside that sold some jade and jade.
I walked in and walked around, but there was nothing that caught my eye.
"Sir, do you want to buy jade?"
Zheng Ge was about to leave when a woman with a good face and about 27 or 27 years old in professional attire came over and said with a smile.
"Hmm! I want to choose a gift for the elderly at home. Do you have any introduction?" Zheng Ge looked at the other party's name tag. His name was Li Xin, and he was the manager of this store.
"Is this a gift for your father?"
Li Xin asked.
"Well, it's my father's 50th birthday." Zheng Ge said.
"It turns out it's your father's birthday." Li Xin smiled and nodded.
According to Chinese custom, one has to celebrate his or her birthday at the age of 50.
Then every ten years, there is a big birthday.
Usually birthdays are just a simple celebration, but birthdays are celebrated in a grand way.
Especially for some families, the birthday of an elderly person is considered a grand event. Relatives and friends will be invited to celebrate the birthday of the elderly person.
"Sir, I recommend some..."
Li Xin took Zheng Ge and recommended some Ruyi ornaments.
There are also some jade carvings with good meanings, but Zheng Ge is not very satisfied with these.
Li Xin looked at Zheng Ge, thought for a moment, and said, "Sir, if it's convenient, you can leave your contact information. If I come across anything good, I will contact you as soon as possible."
"Alright."
Zheng Ge nodded and said: "It's best to contact me within 10 days. If it exceeds 10 days, forget it."
"Okay." Li Xin nodded.
Afterwards, Zheng Ge asked Luo Xinxue, who was following him, to leave a contact information and say goodbye.
Although he left his contact information, he didn't expect anything.
He was going to go back and look through his collection to see if there was anything suitable for his father.
…
After sending Zheng Ge away, Li Xin took out her mobile phone and seemed to check something.
"It is indeed him." Li Xin breathed out after seeing the query results.
"Sister Xin, who is it? What did that gentleman just buy?" A girl came over and said with a smile.
"I didn't buy anything, no one liked it." Li Xin shook her head.
"No way, it can be said that the items in our store are ranked high in the entire Magic City. Are you not interested in this?" The girl was a little disbelieving: "Isn't it because it's too expensive?"
Li Xin shook her head and smiled: "It's too expensive? How is that possible? If he thinks it's too expensive, then he shouldn't buy anything from our store."
Having just learned about Zheng Ge's identity, Li Xin naturally wouldn't think that Zheng Ge thought their things were expensive.
All I can say is that I didn't catch my eye.
"Ah?" the girl was surprised.
Li Xin shook his head and did not explain anything.
But I was thinking in my heart: Is Zheng Ge’s father approaching his 50th birthday?
Thinking about it, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
…
After leaving the jewelry store, Zheng Ge continued shopping leisurely.
He didn't notice that there was a gaze staring at him not far away.
Hu Lin, who had just returned to China, was walking on the streets of Shanghai, recalling the past.
She never expected that while wandering around, she would see a figure that left a deep impression on her.
Thinking back on Zheng Ge's achievements over the years, and then thinking about everything she had done in the past. She opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but shook her head and gave up.
Her strangeness was noticed by the bodyguard following her.
Seeing a woman staring closely at their boss, the bodyguards instantly became vigilant.
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
A bodyguard stepped forward and asked.
Hu Lin looked back and ignored it.
She looked at the fading figure in front of her, shook her head, and turned to leave.
The bodyguard frowned, thought for a while, and did not stop him.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Ah Zheng took a look at Hu Lin's photo and made sure he didn't recognize this woman.
"Check it out." Azheng ordered his subordinates.
"OK."
The bodyguards under his command responded and began to inquire.
Even though they don’t know the name, it’s not difficult for them.
After a while, they found out Hu Lin's identity.
I took a look and found that there was only information from recent years and no information from the past. After all, the time was short and I had not yet conducted an in-depth investigation.
The message is simple and nothing out of the ordinary.
"Hu Lin, why does this name sound familiar?" Ah Zheng muttered, as if he had heard it somewhere, but his memory was very vague and he couldn't remember it clearly.
He turned around and ordered his subordinates to pay attention.
After all, I heard from my bodyguard that the woman named Hu Lin looked at Zheng Ge very wrongly. If it was a source of danger, we should pay attention to one or two things.
