Chapter 121: Childhood Friends

Zhao Yu and Guo Tu stopped in front of a jewelry store.

Although Li Duo did not agree to Zhao Yu last time he confessed, Zhao Yu still felt that it was better to buy some gifts for Li Duo after coming to the provincial capital, and he could also help the big pole bring one to Wang Mengmeng by the way.

This is a comprehensive jewelry store, many domestic and foreign famous brands have, as soon as he entered the hall, Zhao Yu was blinded by the various jewelry on the counter of various brands inside.

Faced with a dazzling array of jewelry stores, some brands that had never been seen in Qinhai City at all, Zhao Yu was completely dumbfounded.

Since there is no parking space outside, Guo Tu did not get out of the car with Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu doesn't even have anyone to ask now, he doesn't know any of these brands, how can he buy this?

"Zhao Yu!"

Just as Zhao Yu was dazzled by the various signboards, a light female voice sounded in Zhao Yu's ears.

Zhao Yu followed the voice and looked over, and in a store called "DeBeers", a saleswoman was waving at Zhao Yu.

"Yan Xue!" Zhao Yu shouted excitedly.

Yan Xue was Zhao Yu's neighbor when he was a child, when Zhao Yu lived in the bungalow in the town before, Yan Xue's family also lived there, Yan Xue's father and Zhao Yu's father were very good friends, Yan Xue and Zhao Yu were of the same age, so they naturally played together since childhood, and it can be said that Yan Xue was Zhao Yu's best playmate when he was a child.

Later, Zhao Yu's father died in an accident, and Zhao Yu's mother used her father's pension to buy Zhao Yu's current house in order to give Zhao Yu a better living environment, and for Zhao Yu to go to a better school.

Because the communication and network at that time were not as developed as they are now, after Zhao Yu moved away, he gradually lost contact with Yan Xue, and Zhao Yu didn't know what happened to Yan Xue, but he didn't expect to see Yan Xue again in the provincial capital.

As the saying goes, there are three happy events in life: when the gold list is titled, the candle night in the cave room, and the old acquaintance in another country. Zhao Yu can be regarded as meeting his childhood best playmate in the provincial capital, and he is naturally in a good mood.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Yu stepped forward and asked.

"I'm working here, are you here to buy something?" Yan Xue said with a smile standing on the side of the counter.

Zhao Yu saw that Yan Xue's smile was as bright as when he was a child, and he was very happy, as if he had returned to that carefree age.

Today's Yan Xue is no longer the little girl in Zhao Yu's impression, Yan Xue is half a year younger than Zhao Yu, and she is nineteen this year, and now Yan Xue is already slim, with long hair draped over her shoulders, a beautiful face, and big eyes that seem to be able to speak.

"I just arrived in the provincial capital and wanted to buy some gifts for my friends back home. Zhao Yu replied.

"Girlfriend, huh?" Yan Xue asked with a wicked smile.

Zhao Yu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and did not answer.

"Didn't you say you wanted to marry me when you grew up? Yan Xue still kept her smile, it was obvious that this sentence was a joke.

But Zhao Yu was said to be a little ashamed.

When she was a child, Yan Xue's family background was a little better than Zhao Yu's family, so Yan Xue usually ate and played more than Zhao Yu, but Yan Xue would give the snacks and toys her parents bought for her every time to Zhao Yu The two of them ate and played together, Zhao Yu has always been very grateful to Yan Xue, and when he was a child, he said that he wanted to marry her.

But after moving, Zhao Yu never returned to the town to find Yan Xue, and when he graduated from high school, he went to town with a friend, and only then did he remember this childhood friend, but at that time Yan Xue had already moved, and the town had changed, and the houses at that time had been demolished, and Zhao Yu couldn't even find where his former home was.

Now facing Yan Xue's "questioning", Zhao Yu was speechless for a while.

"I'm kidding, don't take it seriously. Seeing that Zhao Yu's expression became a little embarrassed, Yan Xue hurriedly explained.

"No, it's just that I miss you after so many years. Zhao Yu also adjusted his mood in time and said.

"How are you now?" Yan Xue asked when she saw that Zhao Yu's mood had improved a little.

"I'm now..." Zhao Yu hesitated, let's not tell Yan Xue about his current identity, it's good to get along like when I was a child.

"I'm still studying at Qinhai University, a sophomore. Zhao Yu continued.

"Wow, Qinhai University! Yan Xue's tone was full of envy.

At this moment, a man who looked like the manager of the store came to the two of them.

"It's working hours, are you chatting here?" the man obviously heard the conversation between Yan Xue and Zhao Yu, and said sternly.

"Manager, I'm sorry, this is my friend, I haven't seen you in a long time. Yan Xue immediately explained, her tone was full of panic, which showed that this manager was usually very strict, which made Yan Xue a little afraid.

Originally, they had a good chat, but Zhao Yu was a little unhappy when he was interrupted by this, but since it was working hours, it was also a work rule that not allowing chatting, and Zhao Yu couldn't say anything.

"I'm going to buy some accessories anyway, and since you work here, I'll buy them at this store. Zhao Yu said to Yan Xue, and then turned to the manager of the jewelry store and asked:

"I'm a customer in your store now, can I talk to the salesperson?"

"It's best if you really want to buy it, your friend hasn't opened it for more than a month. ”

Zhao Yu came to the provincial capital to see his grandfather for the first time today, so before he came, he went back to Xinglong Mansion and picked out the clothes that Lin Qing bought with him last time, and also took the Patek Philippe watch back from the big pole, so he was dressed very decently.

The manager looked at Zhao Yu and found that Zhao Yu was dressed very carefully, a little surprised, and a little helpless.

"Hope this is a real guest. The manager smiled at Yan Xue and walked away.

"What does he mean?" Zhao Yu asked with some confusion about the manager's words.

Under Yan Xue's introduction, Zhao Yu understood what the manager meant.

The name of the shop is "DeBeers", which is also known as "De Beers", which is the largest diamond mining company in the world. Since its creation in 1888, DeBeers has become synonymous with diamonds.

"De Beers" is a legal monopoly industry, founded in 1934. Almost all of the world's rough diamonds are traded through it. DeBeers also maintains global prices through the supply of diamonds through a central sales organization, and has successfully established their ability to stabilize diamond prices, whether in recession or inflation.

The classic slogan "A diamond lasts forever, a diamond lasts forever" comes from De Beers.

Therefore, the jewelry in this store is very expensive, there are many sons who will bring their girlfriends here to choose jewelry, and some will pick up the salesman on the grounds of buying jewelry, but there are almost no real purchases.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled helplessly, it turned out that the manager regarded Zhao Yu as a pick-up.

"Don't worry, I'll buy it in a while. Zhao Yu said with a smile.
