Zhou Zichen went to the antique market in the morning and came back to see Wang Zitao at noon, only to find that Tian Huizhen had arrived early, dragging his injured foot and cooking for Wang Zitao.
When Tian Huizhen saw Zhou Zichen coming back, she seemed a little nervous and did not dare to look directly at Zhou Zichen.
Last night Tian Huizhen developed an indescribable emotion for Zhou Zichen. There may be a reason why it happened so early today.
Zhou Zichen was worried about the inconvenience caused by Tian Huizhen's foot injury, so he agreed last night to let her rest for a few days before giving Wang Zitao extra lessons: "Huizhen, didn't we agree last night that you should have a rest at school?"
Tian Huizhen replied in a low voice: "It will be much better after a night's rest. I have nothing to do on the weekend, so I will come earlier to make up lessons for Taotao."
People are here, and it is impossible to let Tian Huizhen go back: "That's okay, I may come back later in the afternoon. If your feet are injured, don't cook. I will order takeout for you in advance. If you don't have anything at night,
If you have something to do, don't rush back home, I'll see you off in the evening."
Tian Huizhen was confused, but every concern from Zhou Zichen was so casual and sincere that she couldn't help but feel sweetness in her heart. Maybe she came here just to hear Zhou Zichen's concern: "I understand.
.”
After not staying at home for long, Zhou Zichen hurried to the orphanage and then the hospital to see Yaya and the director's grandma.
Zhou Zichen waited until Yaya fell asleep before returning home, and rushed to send Tian Huizhen back before Tian Huizhen's dormitory closed.
Hanyuan is one of the best hotels in the city. The overall decoration is Chinese-style, low-key and luxurious.
Zhou Zichen rode his somewhat dilapidated motorcycle to the venue, but was stopped by the usher: "Sir, I'm sorry, only invited people can participate in this rough stone conference. Have you received the invitation?
?”
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked at what he was wearing. Casual shoes and casual pants, and an opinion T-shirt on his upper body. These are not a problem. The problem is that there is a dot in the middle of the Nike logo on the shoes, and the logo on the clothes.
If you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s a Nike clover series. But if you look closely, the brand logo actually has four leaves.
Although the receptionist stopped him, his tone was still quite polite. Just as Zhou Zichen was about to explain, a familiar voice came: "Poor man, just pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in the orphanage. You are not here to do anything casually."
If you can come, do you know what this place does?"
Zhou Zichen looked back and saw that it was Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Jianshan, was also here.
"You have a lot of money and still want to do good things?" Zhou Zichen said with a smile.
Zhang Hao suddenly thought of his 580,000 yuan. Although 580,000 yuan was not a particularly big number for him, no matter how rich a rich man was, there were still things he did not want to spend money on. For example, Zhang Hao did not want to donate money.
I don’t want to donate a dime to the orphanage. Last time I had to donate just to save face.
"It's none of your business whether I do good things or not." Zhang Hao continued to sneer: "I think you came here to do some dirty things, right? If you steal one or two rough stones, you can sell them for tens of thousands at least. With luck,
If you steal a good one, you can make millions."
The receptionist asked politely at first, but after hearing Zhang Hao's words, he immediately issued an expulsion order to Zhou Zichen: "Sir, if you have not received the invitation, you will not be allowed to enter this venue. If you have nothing else to do, you can still
Please leave as soon as possible. The venue has regulations that no other people should stay around."
When Zhang Hao saw that the receptionist was trying to drive Zhou Zichen away, he looked like a victorious rooster, with a proud look on his face.
Zhang Hao also wanted to speak to "stimulate" Zhou Zichen, but Zhang Jianshan said: "Zhang Hao, that's about it. Master Wang is out, go say hello to the master."
Zhang Jianshan knew Zhou Zichen, but his impression of Zhou Zichen came from the fight he had with his own son. Even if Zhang Jianshan knew that his son was lazy and lazy, he would not like people who fought with his son, so he did not stop him.
When Zhang Jianshan saw Wang Changlin walking out of the venue, he stopped Zhang Hao from continuing to make sarcastic remarks.
Who is Wang Changlin? He is ranked second in stone gambling in this city. No one dares to say he is first. He is also one of the top masters in the province.
The Zhang family is engaged in the jewelry business, and the jewelry mainly consists of gold, silver, diamonds, jade and jade.
The jade market has been booming in the past two years, with huge profits. Businessmen in the jewelry business are eager to invite masters like Wang Changlin to the company to ensure that they can maximize their profits when buying rough stones. If they buy jade directly, the cost price
It will increase a lot more.
Wang Changlin approached, and Zhang Jianshan also took two steps forward, smiling and extending his hand to say hello: "Master Wang, long time no see."
Wang Changlin gave Zhou Zichen an apologetic look, saying that he wanted to say hello to Zhang Jianshan, say a few polite words, and ask Zhou Zichen to wait.
Zhou Zichen smiled and nodded slightly.
None of this was seen by the Zhang family and his son.
Wang Changlin also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Jianshan: "Boss Zhang looks good, his face is rosy. It seems that he will gain something today!"
Zhang Jianshan said repeatedly: "This requires Master's blessing. We are blind and can't tell accurately. If Master Wang is willing to help pick out a few pieces of materials, Zhang will be grateful."
Zhang Jianshan had long wanted to invite Wang Changlin to his company to help him select rough stones, but Wang Changlin never agreed.
In fact, Zhang Jianshan also knew that if Wang Changlin really wanted to join a certain company, he would be willing to hire any jeweler who made jade, not local businessmen like them.
Wang Changlin has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "We will talk about this later. I invited a friend to come, and I forgot to give him an invitation. Boss Zhang went in first to take a rest, and I will come back later.
.”
Zhang Hao kept standing behind Zhang Jianshan with a smile on his face, looking for an opportunity to say hello to Wang Changlin. Unexpectedly, Wang Changlin and his father walked past him and walked outside after tens of thousands of dollars.
Zhang Hao secretly resented: "Isn't he just an old man? He can look at two stones and he still takes himself seriously!"
Wang Changlin walked straight to Zhou Zichen and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, I forgot about it while I was busy. I've been waiting for a long time!"
How could Zhou Zichen blame Wang Changlin? He also smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, you're welcome, I've just arrived."
Zhang Jianshan frowned slightly when he saw Wang Changlin being so polite to Zhou Zichen.
Zhang Hao saw Wang Changlin's attitude towards Zhou Zichen. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the jealousy and resentment in his eyes.
Zhang Jianshan once wanted to send Zhang Hao to study with Wang Changlin, but Wang Changlin rejected him. Now Wang Changlin treats Zhou Zichen so casually, without any airs of a master, how can he not make him jealous?
"Then let's go to the venue together first. The venue will first look at the rough stones and auction them. I will give you the specific operation process later. If you are interested, you can also take a few pieces and have fun." Wang Changlin's attitude towards Zhou Zichen was different from that of ordinary stones.
Young people are completely different.
Zhou Zichen and Wang Changlin chatted, and Wang Changlin also invited Zhang Jianshan and his son who did not enter the venue.
However, just after they had walked a few steps, Wang Changlin received a call. Without saying a few words, Wang Changlin's face changed and he looked at Zhang Hao. Anyone could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zhang Hao was too afraid to speak because of Wang Changlin's gaze. Zhang Jianshan quickly said: "Master Wang, what did Quanzi do wrong? Tell me, I will teach him a lesson."
Wang Changlin snorted and said: "Back then when you asked him to come and become a disciple, I told you that his temperament needs to be tempered. He has tempered it well in the past few years. He has learned to treat others with contempt."
As soon as Wang Changlin said these words, both Zhang Jianshan and Zhou Zichen realized that most likely, Wang Changlin knew about Zhang Hao's mocking of Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen was invited by Wang Changlin. Zhang Hao was sarcastic at the door. Wasn't this a slap in Wang Changlin's face? No wonder Wang Changlin was so angry.
Zhou Zichen turned around and looked at the waiter. The waiter also saw Zhou Zichen's gaze and quickly bowed slightly to show respect. Zhou Zichen nodded slightly, telling the waiter that he did not blame him.
Zhang Jianshan has always wanted to win over Wang Changlin. Wang Changlin not only has skills, but also has strong connections in purchasing rough stones. He often finds some affordable and high-quality rough stones and sells them to jewelers. Zhang Jianshan has always been able to get one.
Because of this, he has been working hard to maintain his relationship with Wang Changlin.
If Wang Changlin's line was cut off because of Zhang Hao's "disrespectful behavior", it would be a big loss.
Zhang Jianshan said with an apologetic smile: "This is indeed Zhang Hao's fault, and it is also my neglect of discipline."
After Zhang Jianshan finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Hao and said sternly: "Why don't you apologize to Brother Zhou quickly?"
No matter how stupid Zhang Hao was, he understood what was going on. He wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason to refute. He stood straight behind Zhang Jianshan and glanced at Zhou Zichen bitterly.
Zhou Zichen originally wanted to plead with Zhang Hao, but the look in Zhang Hao's eyes made Zhou Zichen's image of Zhang Hao reach a freezing point, and he was too lazy to speak. He wanted to see how the Zhang family and his son would solve the problem.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was silent, Zhang Jianshan shouted again: "I don't know how to behave, so go and stay with your grandpa now, and don't come back for the next two years."
Grandpa Zhang Hao likes peace and quiet and has always lived in the countryside. It would be more uncomfortable for Zhang Hao to go to the countryside than to kill him.
After struggling several times, Zhang Hao reluctantly bowed slightly to Zhou Zichen: "I'm sorry!"
Zhou Zichen showed a smile: "It doesn't matter, you are still young, and I won't argue with you."
Although the words "I'm sorry" were spoken very bluntly and reluctantly, Zhang Hao had apologized after all, and Wang Changlin couldn't say anything more.
But Zhou Zichen's words stung Zhang Hao's self-esteem severely. Zhou Zichen spoke like an elder.
"Forget it, let's go in first!" Wang Changlin asked Zhou Zichen to enter the venue together, but did not greet Zhang Jianshan and his son again.
Zhang Jianshan quickly caught up with Wang Changlin and kept saying good things.
Zhang Hao fell at the end and did not forget to look back at the waiter. Only the four of them knew about the mocking of Zhou Zichen just now. It was most likely the call that the waiter made to Wang Changlin. Zhang Hao had already told the waiter
